No VACANCY IN THE OFFICR OF DEPUTY
COMMISSIONERS OF INTERNAL REvENUE.-At-
torney General Alderman to-day rendered an
opinion upon the question which was recently
submitted TO him by the Secretary of the Treas
ury, at the request of Commissioner Douglass, as
TO the existence of vacancy in the office of
First Deputy Commissioner of Internal Reye-
nue., caused by the designation of Mr.. Douglass
to perform the duties of Commissioner. The
Attorney General considers that there is no
vacancy existing, and that Mr.. Douglass is still
the First Deputy, performing temporarily the
duties of Commissioner, having been desig-
mated by the President TO that office
during the suspension of Mr.. Pleasonton.
The fact of Mr.. PleasOnton having been sus-
pended from Office and not removed, is con-
sidered an evidence of the legal fact that the
office Of Commissioner has not been permanently
vacated by him. The conclusion Is that Mr.
Douglass is first Deputy performing the duties
of Commissioner, and that he is entitled To the
salary and emoluments of the Commissioner
and only to that salary while discharging the
duties.
