Tbe yalue OF our Exports for inc
Cn1renI Fiscal Year


We alluded yesterday morning TO me
hsln which the country was receiving
and would still further receive In this eri'
ais from the surplus crops and the oppor-
tune demand for them from abroad. Its
estimated that for the year ending June
both, 1874, which Is the end Of our fiscal
year, the value Of our exports OF cotton
win amount to two hundred and thirty
millions; oil wheat to eighty millions; Pc
uoleum, fity-fve millions; corn, thirty
five millions; -four. thirty millions; bacon,
forty-fiye millions; cheese, seventeen mill.
ions; lard, twenty-six millions; pork, SIX
millions tobacco, twenty-five millions
iron fabrics, forty-six millions; wood fab
rics, twenty.iour millions; leather, seven
millions; hides, five millions; and other ar
ticles OF export TO the amount OF twenty
three millions; making total aggregate
Of hundred and twenty-four millions
as against five hundred and twenty'iour
millions last year.
Up to the 30Ih day Of June last the bal
suce Of trade was against US by one hun.
dred millions, six hundred and seventeen
thousand dollars. Up to next June 1t Is
estimated that 1t will be in our favor by Q
hundred millions, owing, as we have said,
to our large surplus production this year
and the unusually good demand for 1t
from abroad.
In this estimate Of exports we have
made no allowance for the shipments Of
gold and silver from our mines, which
last year amounted to $s4. e0S, 900, and
which this year are estimated at $7o,-
100000.

There Is an intamy attaching to the
crime Of assassination that has given the
deed but little countenance among civil

that the Anglo.Saxon races boast they do
not tolerate. We associate the crime
with darkness and with the name oil o
spaniArd or Italian. Brave men the world
over have put upon 1t the seal Of their con-
domination. There Is something 80 cow
ardly about It as TO make the instincts OF
chivalric natures recoil from It's commits
sion. To shoot man In an unsuspecting
moment when he has no chance whatever
for his life Is virtually the same as way
laying him in the dark. To shoot him in

newspaper article such as appeared in the
Cumberland Times OF Monday, adds to the
atrocity Of the deed. We are NOT there.

Concerning Insurance IN Companies

Concerning Insurance IN Companies
that have NO Agents In West Va.
An article In the begister Of Tuesday Ia
calculated to mislesd parties who have
insurance placed in companies not legally
represented in this State. The article
conveys the impression that such insur-
surance Is invalid and can not be recov-
cred In case Of loss or damage. THIS is
not the case. Where insurance is placed
In company out oil this State, having no
Office or sgent in the State, it is just as
collectable IRON the company as II they
had an Office or agent in the State. The
only diftience is that the insurer Is COM
PEELED to bring suit in the State where the
policy Is issued. No suit under such cir.
cumstances can be brought in this State
West Virginia compels all companies de-
string to do business in her limits &c
make Q certain deposit and pay
certain taxes. This she has the
right to DO. 10 protect This right she Will
not sustain Q suit in her courts 10 recover
loss or damage from an insurance com,
pany doing business without complying
with her laws. But while this is the case
the company is, Of course, not released
from the payment Of said loss or damage,
but must be sued at home. I'm
der such circumstances those hav.
ing insurance in foreign CON-
pany not represented here need give
themselves no uneasiness whatever
about the binding obligation of the policy
on said company. 1t Is Just as binding
and collectable as II said company had q
dozen offices and agents in this State.

War OF Races In Louisiana.

New ORLEANS, April 15.-The
steamboat Southwestern, which ar
rived at about l 80 this afternoon,
brings stirring and important news
from Grant parish. The whites have
retaken Colfax, and there is not a
negro to be found for miles areund.
From passengers on the Southwes-
tern we CLEAN the following:
The negroes had strongly intrench-
ed themselves in the court house, and
built breastworks three and four feet
high. There we're, it is said. about
four hundred men, armed and equip
ped thoroughly. On Sunday about
II O. clock, about a hundred and fifty
white men who had gathered from
the surrounding parishes, made an
attack on the breastworks and q
brisk fight was kept up until some
where near 3 o'clock. The breast
WOI AS 0Gl Z t4Cn SbSI AhCNA GhAlSA "a L
tured, the negroes taking refuge in
the courthouse, the doors Of which
were barricaded. After some further
fighting. the negroes threw out a
flag Of truce, and several detach-
ments of men advanced on it, when
they were fired on by the besieged
party, wounding several, one Of
whom was Capt. Hadnot, who was
shot in the bowels and it is feared
fatally wounded. They retreated
outside the breastworks, and as the
only means of dislodging the ne
groes, the courthouse was set on fire,
and they were shot as they came
from the burning building. 1t is re-
ported that between so and 100 ne
groes were killed, and there were
none to be found for miles around.
