Arree. Of tho o. s. MARSHAL at Erie.

Adcspatch from Erie, Pa. dated Jan.
18th, says Autograph dispatch d.
rected to the Mayor Of this city from Hon.
James Thompson, now in Harrisburg,
and who is counsel for the people in Erie,
was received in this place to-day, order
ing suit to be brought against the United
States Marshal and his aids, in the name
of each prisoner who had been arrested,
for false imprisonment. The Marshal
and aids were arrested by the Sheriff,
and on refusing TO give bail, were COM
mittcd in default to the County Jail.
The parties, however, were afterwards
released from Jail on procuring bail in
the amount If SIS 900 in the suit Of each
plaintiff. Their securities are Prescott
Metcalf, of Eric, and Mr.. 4. Stone, Of
Cleveland.
Mr.. Metcalf was Director in the Erie
and Northeast Road, but says he resigned
in consequence of the noncompliance Of
the other Directors in the proposition
agreed to between himself and the cit
liens. &. H
Mr.. Stone is a Director in the Erie and
Cleveland Road. ~. ,t..
A meeting was held in the Courthouse,
at which the speakers advised the people
to preserve the peace.
This action on the part of the Penn
sylvania authorities is received here with
the greatest enthusiasm.
The Marshal has received copy of all
the proceedings in the case, and will
doubtless send them to Pittsburg.
