FIRE INSURANCE.
''Let the CALLED jade vince;

can Old Merchant who evidently belongs, if
not to ring then to a familiar sphere, "
'capers nimbly" to the front, and weakly replies
to my article, which appeared under the above
caption in your Friday morning edition. 1t is
regretable that the Board of Underwriters" as
party to this controversy, are represented by
such feeble champion, and who seeks to cover
his own vulnerable points by falsely quoting his
adversary. To be explicit, refer, first, to, viz:
'rhe delay in paying losses, which he claims ex-
lists, never extends beyond the time nominated
in the contract" ooh! day and night, but this Is
wondrous strange"
Who has charged any solvent insurance COM
pany with failure to meet their obligations at
maturity?
Next, come to the ''siXky days clause and
'deplorably unfamiliar as | am with this wonder
full feature in the contract of insurance" beg
leave to say that the literal enforcement of the
sixty days clause is an entirely new thing in this
community.
Never before applied to first-class houses, and
that it never intended to have any validity
whatsoever, except on the event of such general
coniagration as New Orleans up to this date, has
happily escaped.
Next, in re- gard to Judicial Investigations as to
the causes of fire." the law is good one, and
no one can possibly object if the law is not often
svely carried out.
Next, | did not say, that ''new and impracti-
cable rules for the regulation of settlements"
had been adopted by the Board of Underwriters.
only knew that such rules or methods had been
presented by the companies belonging to the
Board, with its quasi Endorsement, and l warned
such companies that no such absurdities would
be tolerated by the merchants of. New Orleans,
and to show my 'animus, close by saying that
the best and kindliest feelings are enlisted in IA
vor of our home companies, that we give them
more business than they could stand up to, if
we were visited by great fire, and that their il
liberal action in regard to the less sustained by
one Of our largest, Oldest and most enterprising
firms, has justly alarmed all of our lea ding mer
chants, and the sooner this new-iedgcd TOM
fooery is done away with, much the better for
the companies composing the Board of Under
writer's of the City of New Orleans. l have said
this much in behalf of general interests. If any
thing more is required, my able ally, "A Young
Merchant" will give dexterously the coup de

pauperism in New York recently made by the
Secretary of the Social Science Committee,
were both interesting and startling, for they
show how widely the evil has spread, and how
deficient are the means of relief. We cannot
conceive anything more Notifying to Ameri-
can pride than the alleged fact that every thir-
ty-third person in the Empire State should be
a pauper, and that three generations of that
helpless, shiftless class are not seldom to be
found in the almshouses. If We continue at
such a rate, We fear this social disease will be-
come as deep-seated and incurable on this side
of the ocean as it is on the other, where it has
long become one of the most vexatious polit-
ical problems for the legislator and the philan-
thropist to solve.

A GRUMBLE.

Another grumbler comes to the front and
asks whether our present City Fathers cannot
devise the way and means of paying the pre-
sent "Corporal's Guard" of city laborerz
their hard earned pittance of wages, and thus
save them from the present and prospective
heavy discount upon their time certificates Of
from forty to fifty per cent discount charged
by the brokers to cash them?
1t seems possible to many that the Council
can do better than this, if they try. At least
it might be done for a time, whilst thirty thou
sand dollars per day is being paid in for taxes,
as a newspaper stated was the case, short
time since.
Messrs. Mayor and Administrators, look at
this matter, if you please, and at least show
your constituents desire to cut this GordiaB
knot. EQUIrY.

of the City Fathers to pay off their laborera

ALETHEA.

The President, hoping to compel the confirma-
ton of rascaily favorite, nominated at the last
moment the notorious Boss Shepherd as one Of
the Commissioners of the District of Columbia,
together with Henry T. Blow, Of Missouri, and
William Dennison. The Senate after a stormy
debate, throughout which the personal influence
Of Grant in favor of the Ring candidate, was
plainly visible, threw out Shepherd by vote Of
36 to s., but confirmed without demur the other
two. The Hon. A. G. Catteli Of New Jersy, was
then nominated, and accepted in place of Shep-
herd. The pertinacty with which Grant clings to
this man, after all that has been said and proved
against him, can only be explained as foolish
admiration of the name and character endeared
to him in youth BY the fascinating pen of Harr-
son Ainsworth.
