If, at any time, any court shall be satisfied that any surety of the clerk of said court is deceased or insolvent, or otherwise insufficient, or in danger of becoming insufficient, or that the penalty of the bond of the clerk is not sufficiently large, it shall cause the clerk to enter into a new bond with sufficient security, which shall be deposited in the office of the secretary of state. If any clerk shall fail to give such bond within thirty days after he is required by the court, his office shall be vacated and a successor appointed.
