Thus showing an actual loss upon the ag
This surely does not exhibit a very satisfac-
tory realization from the "thrfty view of
their own compensation which your cor
respondent describes.
Mr.. Williams seems TO imagine that 1t is not
enough that insurance companies shall pay
two and a half per cent. tar upon their losses
IN the State Of kentucky, and that they should
pay unreasonable fees and assessments, but
that they should have the entire method Of
their business governed by legal restriction.
We are credibly informed that IL was only
by the interpositiou of half a dozen strong
companies, which had been to much expense
in establishing their Kentucky business, that
the bulk of reliable insurance capital was not
withdrawn on the firsto of January on account
OF the gross abuse OF the extraordinary power
given the commissioner under our insurance
laws. And il seems but just to the numerous
constituency of our law makers, who make
business OF insurance, and just, too, 10 the
companies and TO the property owner, not TO
compel the withdrawal of responsible COM
panies.
There is a means however, by which our
legislators can guarantee lower tariff Of fire
rates for Kentucky, and do capital service to
the commonwealth, and that is by enacting
construction of one public cistern, having a
capacity Of five hundred barrels, to every two
hundred and fifty inhabitants in every cor
porate town, and requiring satisfactory means
OF applying the same TO be provided by each
of said towns.
Even Louisville would be greatly helped by
a building law, and every town in the State
would be benefited. We would thus be spared
so much danger OF frequent nres, IKE Dan
Vile, Richmond, Georgetown, Lawrenceburg,
Snd we would secure improvements which
would enable US to compare more favOraDly
with our neighbor, Ohio, whose State board of
underwriters, we believe, reports one hundred
and eighty towns with good water supply.

Major Nathan Cole, of Sheboygan,
moved that Colonel John Cochrane, of

house, for the purpose of recovering
certain letters written by him to the
Count when the latter was Misnister to
France, and which the Count is now
charged with ''embezzling." The pro-
ceeding appears to have been arbitrary
and tyrannical to the last degree. These
papers are to be used in suits which
have been brought against Bismarck by
Won Arnim and the object of the
domiciliary visit is to secure their de-
struction. Won Arnim now languishes
in a police station at Berlin. We are
rejoiced to say that the letters were not
found, and that the Count pluckily re-
fuses to tell where they are concealed.
