The Property Clerks Report.
Attorneys Before the Departments.
IMPORTANT DECISION OF SECRETARY LAMAR
up0N THrrn

1MFORHANT DECISION OF SECRETARY LAMAR
UPON THEIR STATUS.
Mr.. Luther Harrison, who was until recently,
assistant commissioner Of the general land
Office, and is now an attorney practicing before
the department., has raised an important
question as to the legal status OF ex-
government employees practicing as at
torneys before the department In an appeal
to Secretary Lamar from decision OF the CON-
sas daSs
the chiefs of divisions in the land Office that
Mr.. Harrison was not permitted to appear as
in the employ Of the general land ID va" Of
nce, and that In such cases he should be de-
MED access to the papers and not advised
Harrison protested against this action and final
that section 100 of the Revised Statutes Should
be held to apply only to the prosecution of
claims for money; that It has no application in
the practice before the general land Office, ex-
cept In cases involving the payment of money,
ton whatever.
Secretary Lamar, in his opinion, states that
who holds his appointment as an officer clerk or
empioye In the department may act as counsel,
attorney or agent for prosecuting any claim
AGAINST the United States while he was such an
officer, clerk or employee, aid in such prosecu-
tion In any way until two years have expired
since the dissolution Of his official connection
with that department. The statute reads as
follows:
ut shall not be lawful for any person APP
pointed after June LIST, 1872, as an Office
clerk or employe in any of the departments to
act as agent, counsel, attorney or agent for
prosecuting any claim against the United
States which was pending while he was such
an officer, clerk or employee, nor in any manner,
nor by any means to aid in the prosecution OF
any such claim within two years next after he
shall have ceased to be such officer, clerk or en-
ploye."
The Secretary states that he does not concur
in the conclusion that the statute has no refer
ence to contests to titles to land, but only to
claims for money upon the United States.
But on the contrary says that il refers
to prosecutions OF claims of every class
pending while the clerks referred to
were employed in the departments. The Sec.
rotary adds that the act is not penal in its ma
ture, and afhxes no stigma but plainly implies
that it Is not suitable or seemly. my opinion
is" he continues, "the terms of the act en-
brace all persons commissioned or appointed in
the department since the first day Of June
1872, as officer, clerk or employe, and who
have not been out of service for two years. "
The purpose OF the law is inst as applicable Ia
ole who has accepted a distinct appointment to
new and better position since the date fixed
as to one newly introduced to the service
They clearly apply to one who like
by appointment of the President when at the
time specified by the statute he was employed
In merely clerical capacity"
