Edward Hawkins, Of LaPortc, who is booked
for the United States marshalship, is here on his
third visit since the inauguration. The present
marshal has had the Office four years, but owing
TO the assassination of President Garfield his
commission was not issued until October by
President Arthur. His friends think that as
the present incumbent has served four years in
the Office his term has expired but the Attorney
general has decided that the commission dates
only from the day that the Senate confirmed
him. Hawkins will, therefore, probably not get
the place until fan He says he prefers to wait
until General Fosters term expires rather than
file charges against him. jnasmuch as he has no
opposition for the position. Hawkins is backed
