Attorney General Hoar has in response to a letter from General Sherman, Secretary of War, of the 16th ult., delivered an official opinion touching the matter of the suspension of certain claim agents from practice in tha War Wepartment, under an order issued by the Secretary on tho 11th of tbe same month, which the Attorney General says appears to have been bised upon information contained in an official report by Col. R. J. Dodge on June 12th, 1869, wherein the parties named in the official order are charged with practioiog fraud upon tho (Tnited States and individuals, and with violating tbe rules of common honesty in tha proe-.' ecution of bounty'-and pension claims of5 colored soldiers or their legal representatives. The Attorney General pays the Secretary is not bound to recognize or do business with any claim agent who is known to hnvH pervortej}' his position for purposes of fraud, and whose character is such that a reasonable degree of |confl dence cannot be placed in bis honesty in dealing with the government,

Under such circumstances the Secreta-ry-may very properly decline to expoBe the interests of tbe government, as also of claimants, to the danger of becoming a prey to dishonest schemes and devices, and when tbe provisions are sustained, as the pension and bounty act designed fpr the protection of claimants against the cupidity and oppression of'their agents have been violated by parties, tbey should ba made, if possible, to suffer, tbe penalty imposed by law fof'their past misdeeds,
