FOREIGN VS.. HOME.

Editors New Orleans Bulletin;
Please allow me small space in your CO.
nmns to notice the structures on foreign IN
surance companies and those transactlnS
business with them, contained III your sun
DAVIS paper, under the head OF - Carondelet
Street Gossip"
The writer thereof must be strangely
biased against, or a very inexperienced busl-
ness man, not to recognize the necessity ana
value of foreign Insurance capital to all COM
mercial cities having large values at risk.
The location Of an insurance company, or
the amount Of dividends to stockholders, is a
secondary matter to the insured the frst
consideration of careful merchant, Is IN
demnity in case of loss.
The following is an authentic statement OF
losses and payments by home and foreign
companies, at the great Chicago and Boston
fires of 1871 and 1872:
"The Chicago fire Of October, 1872, caused
the failure of all the loca insurance compa-
mics of that city. They were able to pay
only from to 80 cent. of their losses !;
while but small per centage OF the agency
companies doing business in the same terri
tory, were forced to compromise their losses
at less than their face. The result may
be thus tabulated: 1890
Total loss by Chca loca' companies 80. s2o ooo'ooo
Total oss by agency compan es......... ~ oOoo
local companies ................... per cent.
Aver lge per cent. of loss actually paid by
a@ency companies 80 per cent.
The Boston fire of November, 1877, has
produced similar results, causing the failure
Of all the local stock fire insurance COM
pancs Of that city. The Boston table is rs
follows:
Total loss by Boston local compan S.. s. 1000
Total loss by agency -. 2o'iiZ ovo
Average per cent. which the &" local -
80 a. N no, 40 per cent
companies Will pay ~ POI o'H''
Average per cent which the agency
companies will pay ...... .......l oo per cent
History shows that all extensive con-
hagrations in large cities result in the an
inhalation of home companies.
Please understand this is not an attack
on home companies, the majority OF which
are managed with commendable prudence
and success, but rather caution against
the exclusiveness indicated by your Cos
sip" AGENT.

+" THOSE NAP"

y TT must be source of intense satisfaction
to thu, Picayune to see the very remarkable
enthusiasm which has been aroused by the
publication of that stupendous enterprise
aud geographical enigma, the map OF the
Inundated Districts of the Mississippi Va
lev" This map has, beyond doubt, been
source OF comfort to thousands OF afflicted
families, inasmnch as it has loosed the
springs Of laughter and set the people on a
giggle, from which they have not yet recov-
cred, and into the delicious agonies OF which
they instantly relapse whenever any one IN
cautiously refers to the most brilliant art
achievement of the 10Th century.
1t will add to the satisfaction of the Pic to
learn that the map is now beng lndustrl-
ously studied by every pilot on the " Big
Muddy" and that the various " Pilot Asso-
Citations throughout the West have issued or
ders that henceforth "Those Map" are to be
| the official charts, and that none others must
be used on pain of instant dismissal.
We have numerous testimonials from the
principal navigators of Mrs. Sippi," but
| their eul0Sles on tne acnle'eiheho " my

lengthy to be published gratis. The one

obligation for the service it has rendered

room for it:

HONEST AUDITOR CLINTON.

There are few officers who have ever held
a public position in this State who have
managed to bring themselves into such con-
tempt as is felt by this community for the
man who disgraces the position Of Auditor,
by installment Of Kellogg.
This man, before bis nomination by the
Black and Tan Convention at Baton Rouge,
was the most perfect type of Oily Cannon
with an infusion of Pecksnitf, imaginable,
and he talked so smoothly and so well that
he persuaded quite number OF our good
citizens to indorse him.
But no sooner was he installed into Office
by bayonets than "presto" change, he was
converted from the mild-mannered Vice
President Of the Young Mems Christian As
ISOLATION, into the most arrogant and
defiant tool that followed the fortunes of
the usurper.
There was nothing that the party de-
manded that he declined to lend himself to,
and in public court he acknowledged that
he had misappropratcd the funds Of the
State for the equipment of Kelloggs militia
and the suppression Of "rebel skunks = in
the country. In other words, he consented
that the money which had been wrnne
from the taxpayers for certain purposes
and of which he had constituted himself
special custodian, should be used for pur-
poses never contemplated by law.
If bank officer had been guilty of sucf
an action he would have been arrested
either for embezzlement or for being al
accessory before the fact A bank officer il
other words, who would wink at or become
party to such transaction would be justl.
regarded as common thief, but Mr.. Clinton
the immaculate Auditor, with the Governor
and mis- courts at his back, is a very prope
person.
In his treatment of persons who have hat
business with him he has rendered hlmsel
extremely offensive. He has quarreled VIII
the State Treasurer, with the Attorney Gen
eral, with Judge Abel, with the Republican
newspaper and with everybody who has no
at onco yielded to him, and yet in every in
stance he has been proven to be clearly II
the wrong.
He has not scrupled to convert hlmsel
into lobbyist to secure the passage
bills which were to inure to his individual
benefit, and he has boldly used his power
Auditor and the money of the State to pre-
vent the unfayorable action of legislator
against him. He has managed to secure s.
far the suppression of a report which would
it is alleged, prove him to be defaulter t.
the State in large amount, and has, IL
short, shown himself to be an unscrupulon
partisan unworthy Of the trust and conf
dcnce Of any honest man.
This man - this untaithful and 'unjus
steward has had the effrontery to sue tn
BULLETIN for the publication of an artcl
which he alleges was calculated to bring hin
into contempt and disgrace with his fello v
citizens. Preposterous! The BULLET!
pleads not guilty, because it would hav
been manifestly impossible to render til
man any more contemplate than he ha'
already rendered himself.

KELLOGG ALARMED.

The chief Executive of this State, So
called, is driven to the humiliating and dis
graceful necessity of explaining his doubt
full position, through the columns Of his
semi-official organ, the Picayune. Observing
the revulson Of public sentiment and an
enmistakable demonstration Of feeling on
the part Of the people Of this city, he deems
it prudent, for his personal safety, to explain,
in measure, his extraordinary conduct i'll
casting upon the community batch OF
convicted thieves, robbers and assassns.
In mserably weak and lame attempt,
ne strives to delude the public into the be
lief that he is the best and purest Of Cover
nors, and under his benign administration
the people have prospered and the State i'm
proved in its material, agricultural and COM
mercial interests. Bat the gist of his mes
sage is in it's concluding paragraph. Visions
of vigilance committees appear; unfriendly
lamp-posts present themselves; an iDdig-
nant and outraged people rise up before the
terrified gaze Of Kellogg; and hence we find
him rushing into print, not through the col
umns of the Republican, but through that
plant and accom- modating sheet, the Plea
yupe, with an effort to exculpate his short
comings, and at the same time to make a
contemplate warning to TIE people against
any efforts on their part to protect them
selves against thieves and midnight assas-
sins.
Mr.. Kellogg may illuminate such pronun-
ciamentos to his hearts content, but we will
tell him that the day for terrifying our peo-
pie by such paper bullets, negro militia and
police, with the irrepressible Badger at its
head or tail, it is immaterial, has passed
away.
Let not our readers be alarmed. Kellogg
is harmless. So is the Militia General Bar
Der, and so is Police Captain Badger
His message is intended for Northern circu-
lation and effect. The author is too well
known here, and we know how much to
trust him.
