~The communication from mem
Der Of the Monroe Mutual Fire Insu-
rance Company, deserves attention. 1t
calls for the appointment of three per-
sons, not connected with the company.
to fully Investigate the points mentioned
As a member of the Company, VIC hope
the Directors will act in this matter with.
out delay.
The resolution adopted by the Board
Of Directors, published this week, does
not corer the ground and is not ,chdt cas
demanded Of the Board at their late
meeting.
By appointing the Secretary to make
the investigation, in the face of the arti-
Gle published from a member of the
Company, which was presented, and in
which il is demanded that three persons
be selected to conduct the same, they
make it appear that they desire to evade
number of the points mentioned.
The sooner this investigation is made,
as demanded in the article of our cor
respondent, the better it will be for the
Company and all concerned.

being one of the ,nurderers last
week went to Abbeville and sur
rendered himself. and we are told
that he claims that he can prove
that he was at home at the time
Of the tragedy. We have heard
it stated that such is the bad char
acter Of some citizens in that
neighborhood, that none of them
would have any difficulty to
prove al aHbi. We know moth
ing of the people Of that section
Of the country except from hear
say, and hope to find them much
better than represented The
good citizens of that locality
should do their Utmost to put
down .lawlessness, for their own
credit. 4 Jew,
At last accounts. Mr.. Williams,
who was SO badly wounded, was
apparently recovering, and we
hope he will ye: be able to identi-
fy some of the murderers. Mr.: H.
Rabb. who saw the murder, was
summoned to 60 to Abbeville to
testify against Nicolas Meux, last
Wednesday, but We have not yet
learned the result .--Aer IBERIA
