EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
81 fND1ANAPoLIs, INDIANA. Oct. = II
Hon, B. w. UaRna, Attorney General of
Indiana: @ 48st
SlR-in responce to your official COM
munication of this date, beg leave to say
that recognize your tight, as the Attor-
ney General of the State, to institute and
prosecute any action in the name of the
State against any person or corporation
whenever you believe that cause of &C.
ton exists and ought to be prosecuted
This right exists by statute, prior to the
passage of the joint resolution passed at
the last session of the General Assembly.
to which you refer, and, as under our
Constitution, laws can only be PASSED by
bill, the joint resolution in question is
only advisory, and does not impair or
modify your power as it previously ex-
listed. therefore appreciate the courtesy
which prompted you to follow the Joint
resolution by consulting me in relation 10
the contemplated action mentioned in
your communication.
So far as nay consent is concerned, you
have it to the fullest extent to institute
and prosecute an action against any per-
son or corporation, when you are salts
fed the following condition exist, viz:
l. That just cause of action exists in
favor OF the State, against the person or
corporation proposed to be sued.
2. That such cause of action not only
exists, but it can be proved by competent
evidence.
3. That there is no legal defence or i'm,
pediment, so far as you know and be-
iieve, which would prevent a recovery.
l could not, however, take the respon-
siblity of adrocltiag the commencement
or prosecution of any particular action
against any person or corporation without
having first presented TO me the facts re-
lied on in that special case, so that might
have an opportunity of examining the law
as to the liability of the party proposed to
be sued
Whilst l fully concede that official
wrong doing ought to be exposed, the
press, the rostrum, and the legislative
committee must be relied upon for such
exposures, in all cases where there is no
reasonable probability that a judicial in
yesti5ation would result in judgment for
the State. | briefly rec4Fitulate, to avoid
misunderstanding, as follows:
l. You have right to commence ard
prosecute any action, on behalf of the
State, without my consent.
2. l consent that you may bring an ac-
lion for the State. maen you are satisfied
that the three before mentioned condi-
tions exit.
3. will, if you desire it, advise for or
against the bringing of each particular ac.
ton when you are real to commence it,
after you shall have aftoo,ed mean oppor-
tunity to form judgment ID to whether
1t ought or ought not 10 be brought. II
you shall see proper to waive an applica-
ton for my advic, ii any case, as YOU
have ri sht TO do, would still esteem il
favor ii you wo aid let me see the com.
plalnt in each Case before il is fled.

IMsuRING THE FIR sE.r.
Leading Insurance Companies Refusing
to accept Risks on WoHaea.

Surprise has been caused by distinction
which certain insurance companies have made
in regard to insuring women against accidents
ON railroads and steamboats,. These Gompas
nies have refused t0issue policies for women,
on the ground that when an alarm of fire Is
raised on a railroad car or. steamboat the
ladies are 30 much terrified, that accidents are
almost sure to follow. Statistics show that
losses from this class of accidents are far In
excess Of the whole amount of premiums paid
for insuring women. With insurance compa-
MES, as with other corporations or individuals,
the rule Of MISREPRESENTATION is the great law
governing their actions. Risks against killing
outright are still accepted the objections being
confined to minor Injuries by accidents. IL
has been proposed to get around the difficulty
by increasing the rate of premium, and this
course perhaps will be adopted, although no
action in regard to the matter has been taken
as yet: An increase OF twenty per cent. on
the rates would, It Is claimed, not more than
cover the difference In the risks of insurlng
men OF women. An interview with one of our
leading insurance men developed the follow
Ing facts: Women are physically more frail
than men. Accidents to them are, therefore,
more liable to result seriously, and recovery Is
deferred on that account; Then, again, q
lady's time Is usually considered less valuable,
than that of man, She can be idle,
and no important business will be neg
lected. So she can afford to be dis
abled,. and numerous instances have oc-
CURED where women have been slightly
hurt an6 nave felgned serious sdlsablement for
weeks and months for the sole purpose of get
ting their insurance. For ways that are dark
and tricks that are vain, in this matter, the ladies
are often peculiar. Physicians naturally hest.
tate to investigate this class of cases very close
~, and it is, therefore, difficult for the compa-
niles to guard against fraud The Leading insur-
ance corporation, the Travellers Insurance
Company of Hartford, Conn.,, have, after ma
ture deliberation, decided that 1t does not pay
to insure women against accidents, and few
days ago the agents were instructed to ''shut
down. upon this class of applications for poll
cies. When the rule went into effect there
was loud grumbllng on all sides, but the agents
are ineXorable.

WAsHINaToS, August 10.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has address
ed letter to the national banks informing
them that arrangements have been made for
the disposal of the remainder of the bonds
offered by the secretary on the 2sth of Fsbru-
ary last, being. about ono hundred and three
million dollars. The arrangement Is subject
to the condition that the national banks shall
have the opportunity within sixty days from
this day to subscribe for any sum or sums not
exceeding fifty million dollars. The secretary
has addressed the following to agents hereto.
fore appointed:
Negotiations having been perfected for the
sale of the remainder: Of the two hundred mill
lion d0llars,ot five per cent. bonds offered the
public by the letter OF the Secretary. of the
Treasury on the 2Sth February last, the au-
thorlty Of the agents heretofore designated is
limited to the sale Of equal amounts of A, AZ
and per cent. bonds, or equal amounts of 4

Secretary Boutwell, will call for the amount of
subscription to the new loan, and considerable
sums in addition, and commence the redemp-
3tlon of the fye-twentIes of 1862.
The regulations for applications for PEN
sions, for the war Of 1872, are modified. The
loyalty of the claimants must be proved, but
the witnesses need not prove their loyalty, but
must have certificate of-a federal officer as

tions for such pensions to date are over 3d. 900.

IRoS.gLAD CHuRCHEs.-At a time when so
much money Is spending In building churches,
subject OF deep interest to all denominations
Is che relative value Of the various materials
used for this purpose, and the advantages Of
the different styles OF architecture. In New
York warm controversy Is In progress, prI-
vately, between certain old and new school
architects on these matters. The .1ron.clad"
church built last year In Brooklyn for the Rev.
IT. Dewitt Talmage's congregation, and which,
though seating 5000 people, cost only $35, 900,
Is attracting much attention, and Is the chief
cause of the controversy, since many congrega-
tlons not overfowing with wealth but desir0us
of having handsome churches, are discussing
the propriety of following the example ofthe
owners of this "Brooklyn Tabernacle" This
tabernacle was erected In the following man
ner A framework Of timber was raised and
inlaid with brick. Boarding was then nailed
on dlagonally, outside and In, and auted iron
was nailed over this. It is claimed that the
fluted iron Is q great aid to the preacher, as
the same voice will be much easier heard IN
such building than in one of the same size
and confguratlon that Is plastered. Conver-
sations held with various leading architects
develop the fact that the majority of them are
greatly opposed to this new and "almsy"
church architecture. sfr
