The undersigned, at the joint request
of MessTs. Frederick S. Winston and
Sheppard Homans, have, as srbitrstors,
considered thequestions referred to them
raised by the letter, dated August 81,
1873, from the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York, in regard to the
relations of Mr.. Romans with that COM
pany while he was its Actuary, and they
do find and determine as follows:
First-That the audit by Mr.. Homans
Of the accounts of the company subse-
quent to the quarterly account ending
November l, 1869, being the 7ve suisse
quent audits referred to In said letter,
were so made after the change of policy
by the executive officers in regard to the
non-payment of post-Baortem dividends.
Second-That the letter written by
Mr.. HomaRs in regard to the st. Louis
Mutual Life Insurance Company was
an act Of courtesy in reply to request for
lulOfnablOui anu luda odAu letlSF WIS
private and confidential.
Third-That the ''similar letter. re-
ferred to, written by Mr.. Homans to
Hon. William Barnes, was not directed
to the case Of any named life company,
but was simply an opinion on an actua-
rial question.
Fourth-We ascribe no blame to Mr..
Homans in the matter Of performing
services tc other companies.
The fore DING cover the charges in the
letter Of Mr. Stuart, and are found by us
as above.

OUR Jackson, Mississippi, correspond

stand by Governor Powers in his deter
minstion to postpone the general cleo

the advantage Of recognition by

GOVERNOR BANTER, it will be seen
from press dispatch from Little
Rock, does not intend a change Of
policy. We were therefore correct in
our conclusion Of yesterday, that the
purchase of the Republican in his in
terest, and the Withdrawal Of the suits
against him in the circuit court, are for
him victory, the result Of his courage
and persistency in 3 policy that, in the
main, has been indorsed by a majority
OF the conservative people of Arkansas.
II, as We said yesterday, he will now
stand by the people and see that they
have fair election in November, he
will crown the good work, for which he
deserves their kindly remembrance and
gratitude.
