Insurance and Assurance.

Yesterday morning G. J. Penari made an
affidavit before Judge Evans charging e. S.
Denne and Otto Meuck with having OBJ
tanned money by false pretenses. and short
ly af:erward both accused were arrested
The atfiant states tina. last year and this he
insured his property, which insurance each
time cost him 500. He AYERS that he went
to the office, No. &c St. Charles street, and
took out a policy, supposing that it was in
the Mutual Office, but as he had some doubt
about the paper he called at the principal
Office. where he was informed that he had
been duped, as the paper he held was not
authorized by that company. Making a
closer inspection of the document, he dis
covered that the policy purported to be is
sued by the brunswick" office, of Wheel
ing, West Virginia, which was not to his
liking. On returning to No. 26 St. Charles
street, he declared his conviction that he
had been swindled. One of the accused
thereupon attempted to seize the paper. but
was unsuccessful. The prosecutor further
says that he was rendered his money by
Meuck. Friends OF the accused assert that
they are innocent of any criminality, but as
the case is likely to have an airing before
Judge Evans it is probable that the facts
will be developed. By all means let the
public know all about the affair.

Local Intelligence.
Among Sons of Temperance

The REPUBLICAN yesterday published a
small item which slightly intimated that
some Sons Of Temperance, Immediately after
adjourning their meeting, demurely walked
into bar room and partook Of refresh
ments. This announcement aroused some
members Of the order, who seem to think
that it was the reporters intention to
throw slur on the brotherhood, which is
OF course grand mistake. Although this
reporter is not exactly a temperance
crusader lie firmly believes in the good
cause, and has repeatedly aided in the
mission. As one of the temperance lights
has requested us to publish the following,
we willingly comply:
New ORLEANS, July ?, 1875.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Your paper of this date contains an item
n the Local Intelligence" column which is
unjust and calculated to bring di5credit
upon the Order of the Sons of Temperance.
The item asserts that division of the
order adjourned their meeting from the
division room to q bar.rOom, and there in
dulged in conduct unbecoming q Son of
Temperance. 1T is a very common remark
among the drinkers of this and other COM
y
their appetites in by way and dark places.
This is but result Of the depravity into
which large number of moderate drink
ers will inevitably, sooner or later, fall,
hoping to hide their own infamy by SANDER
ing others; but in the present case ! can
not imagine that paper priding itself upon
it's just and moral conduct would stoop 10
such iE4amy, and therefore attribute the
item to an error of Judgment and OF fact
which your sense Of justice will at once rec
tify.
Hope Division No. 9, Sons Of Temperance,
is the only division that meets in this city
on Thursday evenings. l was present at
this meeting that night at the Bible House
On Camp street. The attendance was
small-but nine in all-four of whom went
down Camp street, none of them visiting
any barroom. The others went up Camp
street, diverging at intersecting streets
toward their homes.
Several members Of Hope Division have
called on me this morning in regard to this
matter and in their name / ask you to
publish this note and do justice to an out
ragged body of men who make it a rule of
action to mete out justice to all men.
Very respectfully,
GEORGE GRlNDLEY, P Il. ". =.

eeived telegram from New York request
ing him to arrest j. NJ. Powers, who, it was
charged, had stolen $500 from relative.
The description was SO accurate that even a
noarsighted man might pick the refugee out
Of crowd. Detective Pearson heard Of
the man, and learned that he had been here
but that 1t was likely that he had gone
toward Mobile. Pearson railroaded over to
the Gulf City and quietly walked into the
mans room and informed him that he was
wanted. Most of the money had vanished,
and naturally enough repentance followed.
Accused will go back to New York, and, it
is thought will behave himself
