A serious question would be raised as to whether these officers were not at once legislated out of office and vacancies created.
The law creates two new officers, whose aggregate compensation may be $12,000 per annum, without, it seems to me, a justifying necessity.
That event is interesting in itself, but its interest to me is in the fact that this ship is the type and precursor of many others.
I herewith transmit, for the information of Congress, a communication from the Acting Secretary of State, forwarding certain bulletins of the Bureau of the American Republics.
