TREASURY DEPARTMENT.

Asmucbinterest has been excitcd,rl latiye
to the vacation of the appointment of MIR
Gailatin, as secretary oitbe treasury, in con-
sequence of his absence from the seat OF
government six months (Which period has
nearly expired) we lay the acts of congress
before our readers, that the subject may
be put to rest. The act Of 1892 under
which the present secretary Of the navy is
appointed to supply the place Of Mr.. Gal
latin during his absence authoriscs such
appointment by the president in case ofa6.
sence or sickness of the secretary of TIE
treasury, until such absence or inabiHtv Of
sickness shall cease; without specifying
any other limitation as 10 time for which the
Office shall be so filed
The act of 1895 refers to the case yacan-
ey IN the Office, and authorises the persi.
uenl1t 10 supply such Uacancy for the peri
Oh CT six months and 10 longer. This is
Tue act, We presume, which has given rise
10 the opinion, that successor to Mr.. Gal
laiin must be appointed, at the expiration
OF SIX months from the time of his absence
from the seat of government. But the dis
JUNCTION is plain, that in case of a temhora-
~ vacancy 6y absence or sickness, a person
may DC appointed by the president to sup
pV the place Of the secretary of the treasu
~ Tor an inds6 Dite period, until such ina

biity is removed I; aud that in case OF an
absolute Vacancy alone, is the period for
which such vacancy shall be supplied, IL
mited TO SIX months. Both acts are in
operation the latter is an affirmative law I,
and does not repeal the former, to which it
is supplement.
Act of the 9Th May, 1892, sect. 8.
That in case of death, absence from
the seat of government, or sickness of the
secretary OF state, secretary of the ,reasu.
ry' or OF TIL. secretary of the war depart
ment, or OF any officer of either of the
said departments whose appointment is not
at the head thereof, whereby they cannot
perform the duties of their said respective
Offices, 1t shall be lawful for the president
oil the u. States, lin case he shall think it
necessary, to authorize any person or per-
sons, a, his discretion, TO perform tho du-
tles OF the said respective Offices un,ii
successor be appointed, or until such alb.
sence or inability by sickness shall cease"
Act OF tho 18th Feb. 1895.
That in case of vacancy in the oflicc of
secretary OF state, secretary of the ,rcasu-
ry or secretary of The department Of war,
or OF any officer OF either of the said de-
partments, whose appointment is not at The
mead thereof, whereby they cannot perform
the duties Of their SAID respective Offices
II shat be lawful for the president of The
United States, in case lie shall think il ne
cessaty, 10 authorisc any person or per-
sons, a, his discretion, to performs the du-
ties OF the said respective Offices, until
successor he appointed, or such vacancy b.
flied Provifcd, That no one vacancy Shall
be supplied, IN manner aforesaid, for lon
ger term than six monlhs.''
1t will thus be seen that il is not even
obligatory on the president 10 appoint a per
sou. IN the absence of either of the secrc-
iarics, TO perform their duties, bu, tina,
such appointment may be made at his dis
crctiun Press.
