Deadlock in the United States Courts.
SAN Francisco, February ODD = The
newly-appointed United States Marshal,
John Christian Franks, has not yet re-
ceived any official notification of such ap-
pointment and confirmation by the SEN
ate, and therefore cannot qualify as
Marshal. Since u o'clock last Saturday
night, the time when the official term of
Marshal Drew expired, this State has been
without a United States Marshal or q
Deputy Marshal, as all the deputies went
out of Office with their superior officer.
The consequence is that there is no legal
officer to serve processes of either of the
Federal Courts, TO summon jurors or wit
nesses. The Circuit and District Courts
met this morning ana adjourned for the
day without transacting any business
Adjournments will be had from day to day
until the new Marshal is sworn in. For
the same reason the United States Grand
Jury did not hold a session here to-day,
nor will they transact official business until
a Deputy Marshal is empowered to bring
in witnesses Teiegrams have been sent
to Washington by Mr. Franks and the
Federal Judges and it is hoped that At
torney-General Garland will respond that
the commission OF Mr. Franks has been
mailed to him, as on such information he
can take the oath of Office His bond, in
the sum of $4,000, is prepared, and the
bondsmen are ready to sign it.
Two Steamers Purchased for the Hawai-
ian Trade.
SAN FRANcIsco, February 23d.-John d.
Spreckels, who recently went East to make
arrangements with ship-builders for the
construction of new steamer for the 0. S.
S. Co.. has returned. He states that he has
nnrpha sod tho
Australia from Price & Co., of London, his
reason being that both these vessels were
obtained for about the sum which would
be required for the building of one. 1t is
believed that he paid $500,000 for the
steamers. They viii hereafter sail under
the Hawaiian flag, relieving the AIariposa
and Alameda.
San Francisco Money Market.
SAN Francisco, February 23d.-Money
is active, but good deal of it appears to be
moving in one way, and that way is out of
the State. The banks report an active de-
mand for exchange, particularly ON New
York. and rates are stiff even at the adj
vance. 1t is wonderful what large balances
abroad require settlement at this season of
the year. The present season is not an ex-
ception. 1t evidently takes some time to
adjust the January 1st accounts with the
Atlantic States. The local demand for
money is fair. Commercial paper is readily
discounted at per cent, and in some cases
at per cent. Some borrowers have to pay
more than T. but it is their misfortune in
not having better security to Offer Large
capitalists are quite willing to loan blocks
of money on call against United States
bonds or equally good security at 4@5.
Most of the savings banks are getting per
cent. on city mortgages but the Hibernia
Bank continues to let out its money at 6.
The record of city mortgages for the week
ending on the ODD is as follows.
