The gentleman is entirely in error. The marshal in the eastern district of Texas has as simple duties as any marshal in the State to perform. In the western and southern and northern districts there are hundreds and hundreds of cases arising in regard to our complications with Mexico. smuggling and Chinese exclusion cases. and cases similar to that. and the duties are perhaps more onerous and delicate in other districts than the eastern district of Texas. The marshal and the district attorney in the eastern district at present have as easy duties to perform as in any of the. districts of Texas. Frequently they have up Chinese cases in the other three districts and have to deport Chinamen and look after such cases as that. and there are numerous extradition cases. whereas there are none of those in the eastern district.
