Ing Order-Repeal OF the sherman
Law.
Special TO the, Atlanta Constitution.
WASHINGTON, June lit is given
II semi-of1ctally that the President
will not consider the question Of APP
pointments in the State, interior or
p~ost-ofice departments until he has
disposed OF some pending cases in the
treasury and department of Justice,
which have been brought to his alton
ton by Secretary Carlisle and Attorney
General Olney. A member Of the cabi-
net said this morning that the Presi-
dent and the two cabinet officers named
will take up the evenings Of the week
determining on the collectors of inter
nal @ mt of customs, and on the
marshals and district attorneys to be
appointed this month, so they can as
sumo their offices OF July LIST, next,
the beginning of the new fiscal year.
A long listO appointees to these Offices
may be looked for Mt " time now. 1t
is said hat eight collectors of internal
revenue have been decided upon, but
who and where they are is not given
out. 1t is thought they are mostly
from the West and Southwest. 1t is
the desire of the administration not to
have any Republican collectors of in
ternal who have served their
four years in office on July LIST. 1t is
also desired to apply the same rule to
marshals and district attorneys. The
chief difficulty in the way OF speedy
changes is the fact that in Democratic
States the senators are frequently
found recommending different men for
the positions. If they would only
agree on n man, it would be easy
sailing.
OHenry Clay Smith, IT, negro who
was appointed consul +. Tamative,
Madagascar, is q native Georgian. He
was born and brought up in Carriers
vile. He received his commission to.
day and received his instructions. His
duties are of a two-fold character. He
not only has his consOular duties but
judicial as we'll. He sits as an asso'
ciate judge of the supreme bench OF
Madagascar in all cases where Ameri,
cans are concerned, and is the sole
Judge of the inferior in all criminal and
civic cases between Americans.
Senator Henderson, president pro
tenn. Of the late Senate, said to-day that
he did not believe the financial situation
to be nearly as bad as it looked.
1--WE are" said he, "mOre fright
ened than hurt that is, there is not
the foundation for as much alarm as is
felt"
Speaking OF the prospect OF repeating
the Sherman law, he said:
"The Sherman law cannot be re
pealed by the next Congress unless sub
stituted'by the free coinage of silver
in some form. They may put more sill
Q in the dollar, but free coinage viii
be insisted on as q condition to the re
peal of the Sherman law"
WASHINGTON, June TN regard Il
the alleged intention Of United States
District Attorney Parsons of Alabama
to resist removal, Attorney Genera
Olney said this morning that while he
had heard nothing direct from Parsons,
from other sources he had the intima
ton that Parsons contended that tho
President could not remove him unit
his commission expired, ut the end o
four years. 1t is understood that Par
sons bases his contention upon certain
sections OF the tenure OF office act
which sections were repealed eigh'
years ago. Attorney General Olney
while not expressing an official opinion
in the matter, says he has no doubt
from present Information, that tn,
President has the right of removal a
any time. President Harrison exercis
cd this right throughout his admins
t%ration, without question, and when h,
desired an incumbent's removal, h,
notified him that he was "discharged.
