A recent Insurance decision in

though the decision may be of no
bindiug force in this locality. a
fire occurred which des,oycd proper
ty on which the Insurance had Just
previously cxpicrcd, and lad not been
formally renewed d though the neglect
of an Insurance agen to cpllect the
newly y accurcd pr, miuu. The court
decids sd t,at til plain;if should re-
cover his insurance, although ho had
not paid his premium or ec'uraIly ta-
ken out his policy, the decision being
based on tho facts demonstrated hy
the evidence that the plaintiff had
made verbal contract with the
agent, his custom having been to in
sure with that agent, and to pay the
premiums whenever the agent sent to
collect them. y very large proper
tion of the insurance business done
by our best companies is transacted
through agents, who keep running
accounts both with the companies
and their customers.

versed and overthrow. The means by which
such results have been reached are enough
to startle the public mind, but the
results themselves are not less ap-
palling. Aside from the general affairs of
State, we find the Legislature of the State
delivered over into the hands OF men VINO
were not elected, and who are utterly unit
for positions of such responsibility. AS
originally composed at its organization, it
comprised sixty eight persons of color, most
of them totally uneducated, with very
small minority of whites. Since that time
they have expelled members whose seats
were uncontested, they have unseated mem
bcrs returned elected by their own Board,
aud seated their defeated opponents on the
simple ground that the former had not ap-
peared to claim their seats The result is,
that, originally uad as the Legislature was,
it makes itself worse day by day, and the
prospect is that coon the Conservative ele
ment Of the State will have no representa-
tion whatever. To those who fiatter them
selves with the hope that Mr.. Kellogg would
not willingly abet any scheme Of outrageous
misgOvernment, it is now apparent that, even
supposing this to be true, the power of re-
straining has passed entirely beyond his con-
troll, and that, should he attempt to thwart
the schemes Of this Legislature, his own i'm
parchment would be a probable event of the
future.
In conclusion, we would state that we have
attempted to perform the duties of our mis-
sion in the purest non-partisan spirit; that
we have not sought to furnish capital to any
political party, or to excite popular clamor
in the interests of any faction. We have laid
our case before the President and his Attor
ney-General, and we willingly testify that
we have been courteously received and pa
tiently listened to. While they have refused
the specific measures Of relief for which we
applied, they have given reasons for such re-
iusal IN no manner implying
their indisposition to see justice
done. The have referred us to Congress,
and we feel assured that we shall have the
immediate sanction of the President so
far as we invite an impartial Investigation of
the facts of our case, and that we hail have
his cooperation in any measures of relief
which Congress may adopt after just in
vestigation. The people of Louisiana, ig-
noring party, and conscious Of an honorable
effort to place in office men of tried probity,
seek justice, not generosity They ask for
calm, impartial examination of the recent
extraordinary events within their borders,
and that there may be speedy correction
of tie dangerous evils now threatening the
very life of their State.-lSigned by the

General News Summary.
Washington News.

The President, his son Jesse, and Marshal
Sharpe left Washington on the Goth, for
Covington, KY, to visit the Presidents
father.
The Credit Mobilier Committee adl ourned
on the Goth to the It'll of January. Testi-
mony is said to have been given duplicating
several prominent Congressman, Ames
claiming to have sold to and carried stock
for them.
The Louisiana Committee, at their meet,
ing in Washington on the Goth, agreed to is
sue an address to the people of the United
States, setting forth the law and facts in the
case now disturbing that State, and to petit
ton Congress for relief when its session
shall be resumed, Immediately after the
holidays.
The Louisiana Committee expressed a
desire on the Goth to have Judge Bradley, of
the Supreme Court, 60 to New. Orleans to re-
view the proceedings of Judge Durell. 1t
was said on the 2lst that Judge Bradley was
not DESTROYS of going, and that he would
not do so unless at the suggestion of the
President.
Judge Orr, of South Carolina, has accept
ed the Russion mission, and expects to
sail for Europa about the middle of IAN
nary.
William o. Avery, one of the oldest clerks
of the Internal Revenue service, and who
has for several years been chief of the APP
pointment Division of that Office, has been
appointed Chief Clerk of the Internal Rev
enue Bureau, in accordance with the pro-
visions of the bill recently passed by Con-
gress.
The Louisiana Committee have issued an
address to the people of the United States,
in which they disclaim being in the interest
of the Warmoth or any other faction, but as
sert that they have attempted to perform
the duties of their mission in the purest
non-partisan spirit.
A recent Washington dispatch says Mr..
Boutwell, will positively leave the Cabinet in
March, and will run for the Senate in place
of Henry Wilson.
Recent Washington dispatches contradict
the statement that Postmasters were TO be
held accountable for the loss of registered
letters. Postmaster General CresWell is now
reported as saying that no such ruling was
ever made by him, and that in no case will
the Post-Oflice or its officials be responsible
for such losses.
The President on the 24th signed the bill
to reduce the expenses and offices of the
internal Revenue Bureau, which passed
Congress a few days before, and the work
of putting the new law into practical opera
ton would be commenced Immediately.
