I have not the slightest objection to the passage of the bill. But in the report I understand the committee to say that the necessity for the bill arises from the fact that in cases of naturalization some clerks of the courts have withheld from their emolument returns the fees received for naturalization and also in Chinese habeas corpus cases in San Francisco. I desire to say that this is an error. so far as relates to these last cases. The clerks of the circuit and district courts of the United States in San Francisco have been receiving fees in Chinesehabeas corpus cases. but those fees have all been paid into the Treasury and properly accounted for.
