Crescent insurance Company.

We publish in another column of this morn
ing's paper the annual exhibit of the Crescent
Mutual Insurance Company Of this city, made
in accordance with the requirements of their
charter The document is exceedingly clear and
concise, and will speak for itself but there are
two or three things so noticeable as to deserve
special mention.
The amount of premiums named during the
past year reaches the sum of 81 ,025, 1893 against
1928, 91s for the same period Of the year preyi-
Gus, being an increase Of 1884 800. The amount
of losses paid during the same period has been
1874, Id against 1854 ,255 for the year preyi-
Gus, showing very large increase Of losses
sustained by the company. The assets Of the
company are estimated at $s49, 195, or within a
few thousand dollars Of what they were the last
year, notwithstanding the increased losses.
The profits of five years are shown to be over
100000, and dividend of ten per cent. is
announced on the net earned premiums for the
year ending the Both Of June, 1854, The Board
Of Trustees have also resolved to pay an interest
of six per cent. ON the certificate Of profits for the
last four years. The dividend of the present
year is much less than on years previous owing
mostly to the large losses alluded to but it is
a matter for congratulation that after paying
out so large sum as $4,000, the capital Of
the company is untouched and any dividend
whatever possible.
The Crescent Insurance Company has done a
larger business than any other company in New
Orleans, and it's statement conclusively proves
that its affairs have been ably and prudently
managed. This result is in great degree at
tributable to the foresight and fine business
qualities of its President, Thos A. Adams, Esq.

SUPREME JUDGEsHIP. The recent resignation
of Judge Campbell of his position upon the
supreme bench of this State has brought forward
two candidates for the office vacated--O. N.
Ogden, Esq, Of Rapides, and Judge Spofford, of
Caddo. We, some days since, gave expression
to our feelings and preferences with regard to
these two candidates, and have noticed with no
little interest the observations of the press
throughout the State, concerning the merits Of
the nominees By far the greater proportion Of
our exchanges, after paying the highest COM
pliments to Judge Spoford, express their de-
oided preference of Mr.. Ogden, and urge his
election in the strongest terms. Our own pre-
ferences are already known Esteeming Judge
Spofford highly in every relation of public and
private life, and considering him every way
competent to fill with honor the position of
Judge, we, nevertheless, are more strongly in
favor of Mr.. Ogden and more solicitous for his
election
Our acquaintance with Mr.. Ogden is such as
to make US confident that the people of Louis
lana can find no man more able, honest, court
eous and upright; no one who would do more
honor to the bench or more credit to the State;
and his election would be to us, as to many
others, source of the greatest qualification.

RED RIVER NOT 50 BLuFFED.''-It may not be
known to all of our readers, though pretty gen.
orally public, that ever since the defeat Of Lea
ington, the winner of the great State Post
Stake, by Gen. Wells Lecomte, there has been
going on in the Northern papers a series OF
banters and challenges from Mr.. Ten. Brock
the owner Of Lexington, to the owner Of LIE
comte to run another race. The terms offered
have been such, however, as to preclude Gen
Wells from accepting them with any thing like
what he and his friends considered fair chance
of success After no inconsiderable amount Of
dispute, Mr.. Ten. Brock published series of
challenges in the Spirit of the Times, which were
replied to and objected to by Gen. Wells. Mr.
Ten. Brock rewrote his challenge, and recently
republished it. This persistency of conduct has
| called Gen Wells before the public, in letter
| in which, after controverting nearly all the
ground on which the friends of Lexington seem
| to excuse his defeat, he says:
tThat this fruitless newspaper controversy
i may terminate, will say now and for ever

DROWNED. - The Shreveport Ga) South
western of the 26th instant says: A runaway
negro stole skitf belonging to a gentleman re-
siding near the Lake, and was on Saturday dis
covered and pursued. When the skiff contain
ing the negro was overtaken, he jumped over
board, and was. it is supposed, drowned. 1t
appears that he must have enjoyed himself
greatly during his sojourn in the boat. When
overhauled, he had in the skitf fire, with pot
boiling over it, and fine stock of green corn,
melons and vegetables. 1t is thought that a
large number of runaways are secreted about
the Lake.

It seems that dispute had arisen between
them in relation to negro woman, which they
both claimed Angry words passed and a
scuffle ensued, during which he caught both OF
her hands, drew his pistol and fred. The ball
struck one of her hands and then struck her
body as above described. The murderer imme-
