Notwithstanding tho claim of District

Commissioner, Is legally entitled to serve
until July, 1ss6--a full term of three years
tho general opinion 10 against him.
" In the FIRST place." remarked pr1mi.
nent lawyer, who is familiar with the af-
fairs concerning the District, to CRirIc
reporter this afternoon, he was
not appointed for any term, but
the Presidents Message TO tho Senate
nominated him Commissioner of
the District. Tho President canbot
nominate person for term of years.
The term of service of any officer is gov
erned by the law and not by the nomination
For instance, Senator who takes the place
serve out the eutire term of six years. 1t
Is impossible. just SO in this caso.p
The series of terms of Commissioners Ia
which Judge Edmonds case falls is as fol-
lows; Commissioner Phelps was appointed

he served until November 1879, when
Major Thomas T. Morgan was appointed, it
is presumed, TO fiji the unexpired term, in-
stead Of which he served until March 1885.
BE SHOULD have been reappointed July /,

CRIMINAL COURT APPEALS.
Pertinent Remarks by Judge Mac
Arthnr.

The assignment of cases for trial In tho
Criminal Court to-day embraced number
Of appeals nom tho Police Court, and, when
called, no response being made, the bond
was forfeited and bench warrant ordered
to issue. Subsequently, in the case of Flor
ence Lucas, Mr.. o. 8. b. Wall asked that
tho forfeiture be set aside, promising that
he would SEQ the parties and notify them to
be In court tomorrow morning.
Judge Macarthur declined to grant the
application, He said that in taking tho
appeal party promised to defend il with
vigor aud promptncss in tho Criminal
Court, but the moment they gave bond il
was looked upon as equivalent to an ac-
quittal and no further attention was given
to IL.
These people should be given to under
stand that this was serious business and
would not admit of trifling. He not only
should not set the forfeiture aside, but
hoped the Government would prosecute
tho bond. If others, taking appeals from
tho Police Court, did not take warming by
this action and attend when called for trial,
they would meet the same kind of treat.
