The Senator is convinced that the mar~shals who have been appointed under the law have been persons of bad character. unfit appointees. I supposed at first that the Senator had had called to his attention a list of alleged disreputable appointees that has been paraded as an argument against these laws for the last twenty years. I desire to say to the Senator with reference to that list. which will be called to his attention and will undoubtedly be introduced into this debate. that I understand it to be an alleged list of marshals who were appointed under the law of July. 1870. which was a naturalization law. Two sections were attached to that law in which there was authority given to a United States judge to appoint two citizens as watchers. and the United States marshal was authorized to appoint special deputies to preserve order. That law was in use inNew York City at the election of November. 1870.
