TIE NEW ORLEANS ASSURANCE Co&PANIEs.-lt is
we'll known to business men that the reason gwen
by the New Orleans Insurance companies against the
reduction Of the high tariff marine and river insur
ance is that the losses are heavy that they could not
afford it. The New Orleans Times has investigated the
matter, and proved the taacy Of the assertion. The
sixteen companies of New Orleans received for pre-
mums on marine and river insurance, last year, s.,
los $685. and paid losses to the amount OF 81 36s357
showing balance In favor Of premiums of s740630,
or gross gain Of s. per cent The Times thinks it
they would reduce their expenses they could
well afford to reduce their rates Of insurance and then
be able to declare heavy dividends Our contemporary
saws the expenses Of the sixteen companies gross
the enormous amount Of 1874, 9S7, per statements
published in every instance of which the true expense
account is blended with other accounts and Offset b.
the interest account Now, it is fair supposon thai
the total of premiums received amounting to four ane
a half millions if indiciously handled, in connection
with the capital should have an average Of FIVE pc
/ cent equal to over two hundred THOUSAND dollars
which if absorbed with expenses reported would shos
the actual working expenses OF sixteen insurance. com
NAMES to be over one million dollars. Thus, fully
Quarter Of one per cent. of every premium paid is
tually absorbed in company expenses is very esi
dent that so long as these insurance companies
at So heavy an expense, they can not compete wit
other companies.

THE TCRE AND TEXAS SToCK Last week we saw
four large black stallions purchased in the Eastern
States, on their way to Texas Their owners, we M
dcrstand, intend crossing them on the native mares
This is good idea. There is reason why Texas
should not excel any State in the Uuion, in raising
Just the kind Of horse most generally needed and most
generally used in the Southern States, and that Is,
hardy native capable Of all sorts of work and easily
supported. Such animal is to be had by crossing
a larger stock on the native Their hardihood,
and consequent fitness for rough and general work,
will from the cross and the grass raising, be efccualy
secured 1t will only take generation or two thus
to bring mares that in turn, will bring mules equal,
if not in size at least in endurance and capacity to
the Missouri and Kentucky mule, and thus will be Sc
cured what we need pasture ground for raising stock
near us, and for which offer I: good market.
But We fear our Texas friends overlook the impor-
lance Of the turf AID the bloolcd horse not from mere
sogtng point of view b It as the most effective way
of improving stock. thorough bred and highly
formed stallion, with q good turf register for actual
performance, Daniel Boone or Whale, for instance,
would for the sake of permanently improving stock,
be worth dozen English cart horses, and yet these
are good in their plceg0ol for giving size tone and
strength to work stock. But to give the necessary
m pctts and taste stock raising atera there is moth
inr like the race course that time honorcd, manly
sport, which the English and American people know
so well how to appreciate. If we should open track

There is another project on foot for the removal q

country in the world Our readers are well aware that
the government has attempted this obstruc-
ton and failed but this will be private enter
prise inauguraed and carried out by those most m
terested-the planters of Upper Red ri7er-and Will
hardly fail COL G. N. Hervcy well-known energetic
citizen of Hampstead county, Arkansas, and member
of the firm of nervey Elstner 4 Warren OF this CITY,
has been warmly solicited to take the matter IN haho'
which he has consented to do Just before the break

it not been for the late unpeasantness the raft would

renewed and commence operations in earnest
The planters above the raft propose to donate two
hundred thousand acres Of land as basis Tor raising
the means On this some very heavy English capitalist
will advance the necessary means. We speak by the
card for We have seen letters from them to Col HerVey
on this sui ject. While in Europe last summer Col
Iervey spoke of what he had done before the war In
this matter and the cause of its failure and they urged
him to have the charter renewed. On his return home
he neglected owing the press of other business,
but it seems that his English friends did not for they
have written twice urging prompt action. This, to-
rethcr with the earnest solicitation of the planters has
induced him to put his shoulder to tie wheel For
him to take hold is to act for him to act is to so

We admit that it is heTculean job, for there are
over twenty-five miles of solid raft to be removed, bat
that Which vas done twenty five years ago. seems to u.s.
can be repeated in these days of improvements we
venture that private enterprise will accomplish what
the government with its red tape votaes failed to do
The planters Of the UPPER Red river can well afford to

and as consequence cheap freight and low Insurance
They could make 10 better investment, Ill a pecunary
point, for in few years this laud will return to them

Shreveport should also feel deep interest III this
matter Already two lines Of railroads have been pro-
icctcd from the OuacLita river to tap the Upper river
from Which section we now draw profitable trade.
As soon as these roads are finished away goes our
trade. Dig or cut out the raft, and away goes tie
