WASHINGTON, April 29.-E. B. North
rup, editor of the Milwaukee Commercial
Times, in which an article appeared
making charges against Secretary Bris-
tow in connection with Mary Merritt,
testified to-day that he wrote the article,
and that a Deputy United States Mar
shall FIRST called his attention to the sub
ject aud asked him to work up the case.
1t was either Ed Simpson or Burke; his
knowledge Of the case was derived from
Colonel Goodwin, who received his state
ment from Mr.. johnson and from John
A. Henze, detective, who derived his in
formation from Mr.. Weiss; witness
knew nothing except what he
had derived from others, and
by examination of the court records.
The witness, in reply to a question by
Secretary Bristow, said that Colonel
Goodwin during the last eight months
was engaged exclusively in the whisky
fraud trials at Milwaukee. Secretary
Bristow asked the witness whether Colo.
mel Goodwin was not his openNsnd
avowed enemy because Of his official
course in the prosecution of those en-
gagged in whisky frauds. Representative
Bright remarked hat the com.
mittee was not engaged in the examina-
ton of the whisky frauds. Secretary
Bristow said as he had been arraigned
on charges preferred by a member OIL
Congress Judge Cate), it seemed to him
it was competent to show the motive Of
the attack. Representative Wright OBJ
jected, on the ground of i%rrelevancy, and
Representative Hartzell said the com
mittee had better send for Colonel Good
win aud put him on the stapd; he could
then be Intercepted as to his motive.

CoTToN reached the lowest ebb
Of the season thus far to-day. Mid
ding is quoted at 11a113c. We
hope the effect of such low prices
ruling for a whole season will be
the planting of more corn and less
cotton. The people should raise
bread and meat, vegetables, fruits,
etc, for their own consumption,
and have a surplus; also, all the
corn, fodder, hay, oats, ETC., that
they need for stock. After that if
they have any surplus muscle apply
it to cotton, and raise that crop as
a surplus to buy sugar and coffee,
clothing, luxuries, books, newspa.
