From document transmitted to the House
of Representatives from the Treasury Depart
ment, it appears that the compensation re-
celved by the Marshal of the United States
for the southern District of Mississippi amour
ted in one year to the enormous sum of eighty
seven thousand one hundred and fifty dollars
This money was all received according to
law, andthe enormity of the amount IS nc
doubt attributable, in great degree, to the
peculiar circumstances in which that State is
)laced, and the universal embarrassment under
which her property-holders labor. But surely
some amendment is necessary to prevent any
one individual, under color OF law, from levy.
