lowing explanation Of Attorney
General Devens regarding the
statement that he has practically
decided that he will not authorize
the appointment of any special
election deputies in the South al

ties are appointed by the Marshals
in the respective districts upon the
requisition of citizens in those dis
tricts. They are not appointed by
the Attorney General nor by any
authority from him. While no
provision has been made for the
payment of these deputies, it is ex-

to Marshals under circumstance
stated in the statutes, that they
will do their utmost to enforce the
