A Question of once Tenure.

Secretary Carlisle has received from thu
law Office Of the Treasury ruling on the ques
ton submitted ~ him few days ago as u
the tenure of office, the point at issue being
in effect, whether the term of Office began with
the date of appointment or with the date Of
confirmation. 1t was held by the law Offices
that an officers term begins only with The
date when the appointment is confirmed by
the Senate. This ruling will make serious
difference in many cases, as there are many
Collectors of Customs and ofInternal Revenue,
as well as postmasters, who were appointed
by President Harrison during the recess Of
Congress who were not confirmed by the Sem
ate until the following winter, when the SEN
ate met again in the Fifty-6rst Congress.

soldier TO attempt to induce the negroes on
