Harris judgment, made the appointments de sirable, If not actually necessary, 1 nm compelled to lake issue with thc writer of tho article referred to, al though not desiring to enter into ? controversy. As to the $2.000 expense: As I understood a recent article In youl paper from Mr. Harris, the intern is lo do away with the present office of Slate whiskey constable and ap ply the money at present appropri?t ed for tho maintenance of that oflle< to pay the salary of the two mount ed policemen provided for in the hill it being probable that this, togethei with the additional amounts accru lng to Hie county from lines paid bj law-breakers a nest ed by these po licomen, who woulds not otherwise hi brought to justice by the sheriff am Iiis force, would more than offset Hu i salaries paid them.$1,800, If I an not mistaken, Instead of ?2,000, a stated by "A Farmer."
