ports having been circulated t. the
effect that Attorney General Williams
would tender his resignation On ac-
count OF the refusal Of Congress to
enact certain laws recommended by
him in regard to the reduction OF the
expenses of the United States Mar
shals il some OF the Southern Judi
cial Districts, and for other causes.-
It can be stated on the authority of
the Attorney General himself that
nothing has passed between him and
President Grant upon the subject
The Attorney General did recommend
certain legislation at the last session
of Congress which would have reduced
the expenses OF many judicial dictIicts
of the South, but as Congress did not
deem it expedieut 10 enact such Il law
the Attorney General does not hold it
to be sufficient cause for him to ten
der his resignation.
