Company is allowed to make investments out
side of New York State, 30 that the new law
would cut of the insurers at once from the
New York companies. Insurance business
in Charleston has not been very profitable
Leading companies have paid ont more than
they have received in premiums, and an ad-
ditional tax, in the nature Of deposit Of
bonds and stocks. might tempt them to
withdraw from the field altogether Anoth-
er consideration il the security of the conf
panies themselves. What guarantee have
they that the bonds and stocks which they
deposit will not be tampered with! Is there
anything in the history or character Of the
State officials, which should make any one
who knows them willing to entrust to their
tender m ercies $500, 900 in bonds or stocks
OF the State?
A calm consideration of the whole subject
leads US to the conclusion that the passage
OF the proposed bill would work great in
jury to the insuriRg class. 1t would under
no circumstances give the assurer any suf-
tlcient security; it would cause large num-
Der of companies to decline taking risks in
this State; it would give monopoly to the
companies which remained, forcing insurers
to do business with them or directly with
Northern and foreign companies; it would,
as o restriction on. trade, drive capital away
and make the cares OF real estate owners
and merchants even more harassing than
thoy now ore. And yet it would accomplish
one grand result. The passage Of the bill,
with the prospect Of the bona Jids purchase
of half million OF bonds or stocks-for the
fire companies only-would send up the
price ten or fifteen per cent, and Scott and
the Radical Ring could realize still another
fortune. The profits on bank bills would
be supplemented by the profits on State
bonds, which in time would be hugely swol-
len by the three hundred thousand dollars
in gold expected to be made out of the scheme
for paying in gold the principal of the State
debt due next year and the next. This in
surance bill is only an act in the drama OF
"Peculate, Pillage and Plunder," and if after
its passage the insurance companies are cal
citrant and will not deposit the bonds or
stocks required, the law can bo easily and
quickly repealed. But the Ring, in the
meanwhile, will have sold out their bonds
and stocks at the very top Of the market.

The following & letter has been
kindly furnished US by the

cation. 1t furnishes informa.
ton which many Of our citi-
zens, are now seeking, and it
comes from q source that may
be considered reliable:
DEAR SIR:-.Yours of the 18th
has been received, and was
handed 10 me by the Auditor
this morning. We have loca.
ted about one hundred miles
of Free Turnpike in this coun.
ty,. of which we have built
about twenty-five miles, 1T an
average cost OF $4,000 per
mile. We put on seven inch.
es' of stone and four inches OF
gravel. The stone is freestone
or sandstone. The gravel,
some freestone, some Ohio
River and some Scioto River.
The proper width for a road is
20 feet. We use all sandstone
have no limestone. You had
better use limestone If it Is
available. / don't think the ex.
pense would be more for lime
stone, if it could be got al
handy as the other and !,
would be better TO 60 to more
expense to get it.
Any information that I may
have on the subject you car
nave on application.
Very Respectfully 30.

Engineer Of Scioto Count,
