WASHINGTON. June 30.-Unted States Marshal /
1suesell, of Texas is in Washington for the |
purpose of getting the money due him, and which \
he has been compelled TO advance out of his private \
means or borrow at Ugh rate of interest, to exc
cute the processes of the Courts. He estimates his
personal loss by of the failure of Congress
TO make seasonable response to the requisitons, /
and repeated reminders of the Attorney General at Il
more than 800.
Il suppose" said Marshal Russell to correspond. /
ent OF The TRIBUNE to-day. that there have been II
enough civil processes in the Northern dstrctskto \
help the marshals out to some extent,though kn1 Il
nothing definite about that In the extreme SOUTH I
west however there has been no relief, and no one
knows the hardship we have encountered / was
not able to run the Courts in my district without
borrowing money. could not serve a Government
process without first raising and advancing the
money for the expenses of the deputies The dis
trict is large one, and sometimes we have to travel
900 miles to secure a witness. Our deputies nave II
10 travel through deserts where guides and guards
are sometimes necessary. All this required large
sums of money, and this had to borrow by pa ying
high rates of interest have paid l. 2, ., and even
10 per cent month for money. Seven-eighths of
the money so obtained came from sympathetic Re-
publicans, and should hardly have been able to
pull through but for the personal exertions of Judge
Duyall who went out himself and helped me to
borrow it, In one or two cases lately tried at San
Antonio this difficulty in obtaining money prevented
,ls from securing the presence of some important
witnesses"
when we first began to borrow" continued Mr..
Russell, " il was with the understanding that Con-
gress would certainly make appropriation Lad t8
December but time went on, and bankers began ~
have doubts whether any money would be appropri- II
ated at ALL hence the high rate of discount. The
period Of our difficulties has lasted from the first Of
July 1870, until the present time, and no one
knows the extremity to which we were put"
"Why." said Marshal Russell, becoming indignant
as he recalled his experience, they pretended at
first that the money was only withheld because they
didn't want tine deputy -marshals to be used in the
Hall elections. Then why didn't. they make the
deficiency appropriation in December, as Chairman |
Atkins promised they should do The money would
only be available during the fiscal year, and they
might have repeated the operation to cover the next
election if the election business was all they were
driving at" .,
I The extent of the sacrifice made by Marshal Rus
sell will be appreciated when II IS made known that
money paid out by him as interest IS hOpelessly
gone there being provision and no precedent for
Its repayment to him by Congress.
