Attorney General Evarts has made public h

attorney General Evarts has made pup'lc LIS
opinion relative to the resignation Of Commits
sioner Rollins. He takes the ground that the
resignation of Mr.. Rollins was qualified one,
and that the President cannot accept 1t and ap-
point successor unless the conditions on which
it was made are fulfilled, which were the nomi.
patton by the President and confirmation by
the Senate of new Commissioner. He con-
cludes by stating that II must consider that
the Office Of Commissioner of Internal Revenue
and Mr.. Rollins hold upon it, remain tho same
as if his letter had not been written or the
Presidents endorsement made thereon, and
that the Office is not vacant. President ohnson
will, probably, act in accordance with this
nninion. ~
