Gov. Hendricks Accident.

A Few minutes after 9 O'Clock yes
terday morning, as Gov. He Idricks was
leaving his residence, on the corner OF
Tennessee and ST. Clair streets, to pro-
coed to the State house. he slipped on
the ice-covered stone steps leading to
the entrance of the house and fell at
full length on the walk, the back OF
his head striking the edge OF one OF the
steps. His fall was 80 heavy as to be
heard by bis wife and niece. who was
sitting in the drawing room, and they
ran to the door IN great alarm and as
sisted the Governor into the house. He
appeared much stupifed, but was able.
with the aid of the ladies, to reach the
room he had just quilted, and to lie
down on a lounge. On examination,
the back OF his head was severly bruised,
and Mrs. Hendricks and her niece were
greatly agitsted, Of course; and their
Situation was rendered all the more
distressing BY the tact Of the servants
being absent on various missions
Leaving the Governor in care OF his
wife, the young lady FASTENED to sum.
mon medical aid, but, after visiting the
offices OF several physicians located in
that part OF the city. and finding none OF
them in, she returned to the house.
Not liking to leave Mrs. Hendricks to
care for her husband alone, she got one
Of the neighbors to 90 down town after
q physician. The messenger shortly
returned with DR.. j. H. WOODBURY., who
after examination, pronounced his
injuries not to be of dangerous nature.
His Excellency had by this time re-
covered full con sciousness, and wished
to be permitted to 60 down to bis Office,
but the doctor put a veto on that res
quest. just alter the1sll, his extremi-
ties were cold, and TOR long time his
attendants were unable to preceive the
in them, but finally the chat
ing was successful. Mrs Hendricks ex-
planned to Sentinel reporter that the
circulation is very sluggish,
and that whenever he is i'll he is troub-
led with coldness and numbness in
his hands and feet. After the doctor
had lett him he sent to the State-house
FOR his private SECRETARY to bring him

awaiting bis signature These were
brought to and signed by him. About
noon be complained to bis wife that he
could not see her, and soon became so

SPECIAL NOTICES
Avert the Danger.

The "ethereal mildness" with which
poets credited the vernal season Is more an
illusion Of the fancy than a meteorolose al
fact. Fairly spring in temperate climates is
q tearfulitime, and the tears are usually
too cold for health or comfort. To avert
the complaints to which the fogs and wind
OF the season are apt to give rise, prudent
people who believe in the proverb that
representation is better than cure" fortiiy
their stomachs and brace up their nerves
and muse les with Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters. Those who de this are wise, and are
rewarded for their wisdom by escaping the
visit atoms of chills and tever, rheumatism,
bilLousness, flatulency, consumption;
stomach complaints, &C., SO common In
damp inhospitable weather. TO those less
prudent, who neglect this precaution, and
suffer for 4, we would say, that the disor-
ders which this potent vegetable tonic pre-.
vents il also cures.

THE members OF the Forty-second
Congress voted Five Thousand Dollars
each into their own pockets, just before
adjournment. The House by barely
three msjority had previously voted TO
tx the salary of Senators and members
at $500 and to abolish mileage. The
Senate non corcurred. A conference
committee Of the two Houses was there
upon appointed and increased the pay.
to $500 per ann,m, with actual mile
age allowed, and applying to the two
wears Of the Congress just closed. The
report was adopted and the robbery
contaminated. The people have still
some cause for thankfulness that the
matter is no worse, snd we suppose the
members will never cease to regret thai
they did not take $4,000 instead Of
5000.

COIfaX's Latest.

There was an expression Of intense
disgust among Republican members on
Monday, on reading Coliax's latest ex-
planstion of the charge that he got the
Nesbitt stamp contract extended after
having received $4,000 previously from
Nesbitt, who he swore was q total
stranger to him. The tact that while
denying that he was specifically Mes
bits attorney be admits that he did
appeal to the Postoffice Department 10
behalf of the Nesbitt contract is enough
for even the few friends who have chung
to him. Every time he explains he
puts his foot in it." ssid leading Rad
ical Senator to-day, "and makes the
charges against him always appear in
their worst shape" On page 5l4 OF
the Poland report Cslfsx swesrs that he
did cot know that Nesbitt was Gov
eminent contractor, and yet his own
letter 10 his own handwriting implor-
ing that the Nesbitt contract be not
nullifed Was at the very hour be testi'
fed, and is now. in the Postoffice De-
partment on file. He 10 convicted tor
the fourth time o. perjury. Postmaster
General Creswell was on the floor Of the
House to-day, aud did not deny to
members that Collsx had appealed to
him on behalf Of Nesbitt's contract.
Indeed, he informed members of the
House at their solicitation OF it q week
ago, and If Mr.. Creswell or Mr.. Coltsx
want the afidavits to that effect they
can deny this statement and secure
them.

THE INSURANCE. LAW.

We have seen q copy OF the bill that
has passed the State Senate in relation
to insurance, telegraph, and express
com panies. The changes it makes In
the provisions of chapter thirty-four OF
the Code, are not numerous but are
important. 1t abolishes all dist notion
between domestic and foreign fire insur.
auce compauies, except in regard to the
rate of taxation, and places all
upon an equal footing. Domestic as
well as foreign companies are to be re-
ouired to make TO the Auditor the
statement now required from foreign
companies alone, and each company
must have at least one hundred thous'
and dollars of actual cash or its equiva-
lent. The twenty-five thousand dollar
deposit heretofore required from for
eign companies doing business in this
State is to be discontinued, except where
the laws of the State under which such
companies are incorporated require
from companies organized in this State
a deposit of money or bonds as COM
dition precedent to doing business
there. In such cases reciprocity will
be required.
Complete statements Of the assets and
liabilities of all the fire insur ance COM
pauiss doing business in the State, are
to be furnished to the Auditor In the
month of January in every year, and
are to be published in some newspaper
of general circu lation. If the Auditor
thinks there is reason to doubt the cor
rectness of any annual statement, be is
required to visit the principal office OF
the company, and thoroughly inspect
and examine all its affairs. II his ex-
animation shows that the companys
capital has become impaired. he may
REQUIRE it to be made good within a
reasonable time, or he may revoke the
authority OF such com pany to do busl-
ness in the State.
Foreign fire or marine insurance
companies are required to pay annually
into the treasury OF the State tax OF
four per cent. on the gross amount o.
premiums earned during the year; do
mestic companies pay three per cent
and life insurance companies pay two
per cent. 1t is provided. however, .ths'
any insuran nee company which shall
invest in this State the whole amount
of its net receipts from its business
therein shall be required to pay only
one half OF the above rates.
The provisions Of the law relating
to telegraph and express companie;
remain unchanged and except in
the particulars mentioned above nc
material alteration is made in chapter
thirty.four of the Code. As We have
already stated, the bill referred to has
been passed by the Senate. 1t is now
under consideration I'M the House and
it's passage there without material
change ia considered probable.

Savannah Mills Going!

After most exhaustive preparations,
Messrs. c. P. Miller & Sons have got
the mill into operation, and it is running
along as smoothly as can be. Their IA
~cilities are now such that they propose
to fill the public demand if they have to
work night and day. The proprietors
regret that, through delays in the
shipment of their corn mill, they can
grind no corn; but will do all they can
to have it running very soon. The mill
works to the entire satisfaction of all,
and it is expected to turn out as good
quality of flour as there is made in the
country, and we believe they will do it.
