It gives me pleasure to consummate here to-day, by the act of lifting this flag, the efforts in support of a principle to which I give my hearty support.
A serious question would be raised as to whether these officers were not at once legislated out of office and vacancies created.
But the most serious objection to the legislation is that it creates at once upon the taking effect of the law the offices of district attorney and marshal for each of the three districts, and the effect, it seems to me, must be to abolish…
No provision is made for a continued discharge of the duties of marshal and district attorney by the present incumbents.
