Henry II. Erisman, who was to have
been appointed a member Of RoseumiIler's
police force from the Fourth ward, declin.
es to serve. Mr.. Ersman belonged for
number OF years to the tOrco, as constable
of the Seventh ward, lie is now private
watchman, and can do better in that posi-
tion than on the police force. He was
considered one OF the best of Mr.. Rosen-
miller's appointments. Philip Nolt, who i5
now employed ut j. A. Spriuger's saloon,
next door to Fulton opera house, will ba
appointed in place Of Mr.. Ersman.
1t is said that the new mayor desires to
increase the police force to twenty-seyen
men, and in short time will ask councils
to allow him to do so. 1t is we'll known
that tho force in this city is too small at
present, but 1t remains to be seen whether
councils will be in favor OF making suoh
large increase.

hr. Bliss continued his evidence before
the Spriug ger committee on Thursday. He
claimed that he had really lost money by
being employed by the government. lie
no longer was in government employ, aud
Messrs. MeriCk and ker were also out.
The VIM, Ii. Bliss, OF St. Louis, now en-
PIOyed IN the case, was not relative. He
vas unable 10 account for the failure of
the grand jury to indict Salisbury, but
thought it might have been due to con.
gressiOnal influence. All the witnesses
summoned appeared before the grand iury
except four or five, perhaps
Witness at one time advanced sS 600 to

lie had never been reimbursed for the
clerk hire.
la regard TO the civil suits he had con.
suited with Postmaster General Gresham
and Attorney General Brewster. Tho
failure OF the civil suit against Dorsey
failed by reason of Bosler's death.
In reference to ex Senator Kellogg Mr..
Bliss said " Cook is the only man who
said We must not do anything with Kel.
logg, as it would iujure the Republican
majority in the Senate. Cook was then
government counsel. His statement set
me to thinking, Chandler said to me one
time " Poor Kellogg is in a terrible state
OF mind. lie wants mo to speak to you.
OF course, can't. | can only say treat
him fairly" AS Kellogg's case now stands
If Walsh's papers don't need Walsh's
testimony to make tn IN links, it is fair
one, though 1t has undoubtedly been
weakened by the course of the witness.
Mr.. Bliss related his efforts without sue
cess TO find Walsh.
The witness was called upon to testify
III the OJtman case. lie said the compro-
mise was made because in his opinion,
jury would not decide that Ottman was
guilty.

The Harrisburg PtriOt Of this morning
contains the following " Chief of Police
Lands yesterday morning took into custo
dy two young women at house Of i'll
fame in the lower section Of the city. They
had jast arrived from Columbia and had
already commenced going the rounds of
low houses. When questioned they had
no hesitapcy in giving their names as
Minnie Maddox aud Sallie Milton. The
former is tho wife OF William Smith, now
in Jail in Lancaster upon charge of muir
der. Both females are under twenty aud
seem TO have little sense Of shame for their
acts or the consequent arrest. Chief Ian
dis went to considerable expense in telo o
graphing TO Columbia 10 discover their
friends and their desire, but failed to get
any response. They we're finally discharg
ed to go where the choose.
The maiden name of Mrs. Smith was
Huddock. Her homo was formerly in
Columbia, but she has been living in Ian
caster since the imprisonment of her hus-
band, to whom she had been married
without the knowledge of her family some
time previous To tho murder. She is a
very pretty young woman and has lived
as domestic in a number of families in
this city. Tue police Of Harrisburg were
probably little fresh in arrestng the
women, who have never been in trouble
here.

A meeting Of the owners Of cotton mills
throughout the South was held in Augusta
Thursday for the purpose OF discussing
the question of the supply of aud demand
for cotton goods.
j. +. Hanson, of Macon, was elected
president, and A. II. Twitcher, of Clifton,

the cotton manufacturing industry OF the
South was in such condition as to call
for vigorous action TO prevent serious con
sequences. A number of letters from
prominent manufacturers we've read and
the subject was discussed at great length.
IL was resolved to form an association TO
be known as the Southern and Western
Manufacturers association, and to curtail
the production of yarns and cloth pending
detinine action by the committee having
tho matter in charge. This latter com
mittee was instructed to formulate a plan
for reducing the production. The conven

1t. IL is constant temptation
to the weak men at the bar to
abuse this trust, and to undertake to
browbeat and bully and worry the wit

his reputation, should be above this style
