Result of Loose Legislation

tOoSulU Oh LOOSE Legislation.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The department of
justice, for which only partial appropriations
have been made, will now be compelled to
suspend portion of its duties which relate to
the administration and conduct of the United
States courts. The salaries of the judges and
other regular officials of these courts have, it is
true, been provided for, but the effect of ex-.
isting law is to prohibit the marshals from
acting as the executive agency of the courts
through which their machinery is kept in
motion, their processes served and their
mandates made effective. This prohibition
resides in section 3079 of the Revised Statutes,
which reads as follows: 'No department of
the government shall expend in any one fiscal
year any sum in excess of the appropriations
made by Congress for that fiscal year, or in
volve the government in any contract for the
future payment OF money in excess of such
appropriations.
AS no appropriation has been made for the
payment Of marshals fees for the current fiscal
year, the above section forbidS the payment of
such fees and also forbids the involving of the
government for any liability on account of
marshals' fees for the current fiscal year. If
the marshals were to perform any duty for
which fee or compensation is provided by
law, then the government would be involved
in the liability to pay such fee or compensation.
Hence it is clear that the marshals are pro-
hibited by the statute from performing any
duty for which the United States would be
liable to pay a fee. Unless the Courts dis
regard the law ON the ground of public neces
sity, criminals of all sorts, smugglers, &C.,
will have perfect freedom from arrest and
prosecution; the property in the custody of
marshals must be abandoned, and no remedy
can be enforced for the collection Of debts due
the United States.
British Indians Trespassing.
The Interior Department has received in
formation from the GroS Ventres Agency
that the British Indians, we'll armed, have
crossed the border and are destroying buffalos
and driving away American Indians, who
seem panic stricken, and several skirmishes
have occurred.
