To God, the beneficent and the all-wise, who makes the labors of men to be fruitful, redeems their losses by His grace, and the measure of whose giving is as much beyond the thoughts of man as it is beyond his deserts, the praise and gratitude of the people of this favored nation are justly due.

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…
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.
No provision is made for a continued discharge of the duties of marshal and district attorney by the present incumbents.
As these vacancies could not be filled immediately, the business of the courts would seriously suffer.
