court of the United States to-day dismissed
the three cases of Calan, Gregory and Law
son. respectively. against Bransford, the
treasurer Of the city of Lynchburg, and
Litchford VS.. Day Sergeant OF Lynchburg,

view, holding that it is governed by the
facts found by the lower court. The court
denied without prejudice similar motions in
the cases OF Jones VS. the common wealth
Mallan VS.. BraDsford, ahd billiard VS.. Moor
man, treasurer, on the ground that the mo-
ton papers were not sufficiently explicit.

Harrison VIII Not Make the Appoint
msnts for Several Months.
WASHINGTON, March 9.--The President
is in good deal of quandary as to the
appointment of the new circuit court
Judges. To-day, before he left on his duck
ing trip, he had long conference with
Attorney General Miller and Solicitor Gen.
eral Taft as TO his right to make these ap-
poiutmepts during the recess of the Senate.
The two highest law officers of the govern
ment hold the same view of the matter that
the President does, and agree with him that
he has the right to make the appointments,
and that opinion has been held by all the
attorney generals for the last halt century
A TROUBLESOME SECTION.
Section 1863 of the Revised Statutes, how
ever, stands in the way, because, even if
the President has the right to make the ap-
pointments, it is evident from the read
ing Of the statute that the newly-appointed
oficiols have no right to draw salary until
they have been confirmed by the Senate
While it is not likely that anything will
come of the matter, still q complication
might arise which would make it very en-
barrasslng for the disbufEing officers Of the
treasury, as we'll as the President, especially
as the next House will be democratic. In
view of all these circumstances, the Presi-
dent has practically decided not to make
any ppointments. He is firmly resolved
not to C all an extra session OF the Senate,
and he stated this in go many words this
forenoon TO one of his callers he said he
did not want TO have the Senate here again,
and that the emergency would have to be
very great which would make him feel
justified in converting it before its regular
