April 8, 1868. Hon. William H. Seward, Secretary of State. Sir: The enclosed letters from the Governor of Arizona probably fall within the sphere of your Department, rather than in that of the Attorney General. I have, however, made such an answer as seemed proper, of which I send you a copy. Respectfully, your obedient servant, John M. Binckley, Assistant Attorney General.
