The District COmmissiOners' Terms OF
Office.


WHAT SENATOR HARRIS SAYS OF THE INTENT
AND OBJECT OF THE LAW WHICH HE HELPED
TO FRAME
Senators Harris, Of Tennessee, and Ingalls,, of
Kansas, as subcommittee of the District COM
mittee, framed the organic law of the District,
and In regard to the section fixing the official
terms of Commissioners, Senator Harris said to
STAR reporter: ave provided that the first
Commissioners should be appointed for one and
Two years respectively, and that the next ap-
pointments should be for three years each. Our
object was to so arrange 1t as to have one year
esapse between the expiration Of the terms OF
the TWO civilian Commissioners. That is, our
object was to prevent the terms Of both ex-
p1ring at the same time. Now, under the law,
when vacancy occurs by death, resignation or
3therwise, the appointment 10 ill it can only
pe LOT the remainder of the unexpired term. To
do otherwise would be to defeat the object of
the law, for If new terms were to begin whenever
a vacancy occurred, then 1t might easily so hap
pen as TO have both the Commissioners go out
at once. Now, the Senate is SO organized as to
keep the body perpetual; to avoid having all
Ine terms expire together. and o vacancy can
only De nlled Tor the uneXpifed term. Take the
case OF Attorney General Garland. He resigned
his seat in the Senate after having filled two
was elected to serve the remaining four years,
and no more. He could not have been chosen
10 Degln q new term of six years. for II
such practice could be permitted, it would not
be long until the Senate might be disorganized
by the terms of a majority expiring together.
NOW. that portion OF the District organic law
operates in the same way. 1t does not make
any dlfierence whether Major Morgan's origi-
nal appointment was permitted to carry him
over into q new term not. He could only
have been legally appointed in November, 1879,
70 flll out the remaining portion OF Mr.. Phelps
term, and every day that he held the Office
after the expiration of that term he was simply
holding over until his successor should be APP
pointed and qualified. He was not filling a
regular term. The law is too plain to be mis-
construed, and our purpose was to make it too
pain Tor misconstruction. The terms ar
ranged in the law must be preserved"
WHAT COMMISSIONERS EDMoNDs SAYS.
Commissioner Edmonds stated to a STAR
reporter, in relation to the discussion about his
term of office, that if he was appointed for the
term of three years his time would expire in
March next; that it appears to have been estab-
lished by two OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of Presi-
dents Hayes and Arthur-that the official
terms of Il District Commissioner differ from
those of Senator, and are intended to run for
three years from the date of appointment, and
IL may be that the present administration may
take the same view of the case.

GOOD EFFECT OF THE OCCUPATION OF PANAMA
BY THE uNIrEn STATES TRnnpS

GOOD EFFECT OF TIE OCCUPATION OF PANAMA.
BY THE UNITED STATES TROOPS
PANAMA, April 2S.-There is no doubt in the
public mind here but that the safety OF the city
is due to the prompt action of Commander
McCalla in taking charge of the place at a time
when formidable barricades were being erected
and preparations on a large scale were going on
to resist the national troops when they arrived.
Because of these preparations no doubt exists
but that immense loss of life and property
would have taken place. The moral effect of the
occupation by United States troops very
great. Not a shot had been heard i'm the city
since they withdrew, but order and legitimate
authority have not yet been re-established. and
any further Withdrawal at present would be a
fatal mistake, the consequences Of which are
not calculable.
