Withdrawn from the Board of Under

NEW YORK, February S.--Ihrce in
surance ompanie>, the American, Mcr-
chants and Gcbhord, have withdrawn
from the Board of Underwriters, and it
j. reported that number OF others have
withdrawn. Among those most posi-
lively announced TO have withdrawn Is
the Standard, which, like the three COM
panies above mentioned, is OF good stand
Ing in insurance circles.
Prominent insurance officials state that
the efforts of the executive committee OF
the Board to restore har mOny of
feeling, has apparently had tn" effect
of widening the breach, and it is expect
ed that before the next regular meeting
of the Board the number OF designations
will bc largely increased. One member
Of the Executive Committee Of the Board
of Underwriters, who also is President
of an insurance company, says he does
not see how the Board could hold to-
gcther much longer The chief cdus" "i
the disruption of the Board OF Under
writers is that the disregard of establish
I'd rates has invaded the Board of In
surunrc Brokers, which company operates
with the Board of Underwriters, and II
member of the former Board says he has
heard Of several intended designations of
members from that Board, and certainly
of one member who had resigned.

opinion that all testimony shows that IN
the election of 1872 Joseph Brooks was
elected Governor of that State, and
that he has been unIawlully deprived of
the possession of his office since that
time. In 1874 the Constitution of the
State was 10y violence, intimidation and
