GARD FROM MIR. WALLACE.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCKR 1t was with sur
prise that observed in your issue Of the 5th
inst, that, during my absence attending the
Sweet Springs. my name had been used i'll the
convention, held here on the lst inst. in con-
nection with the Senatorial nomination for tins
district, notwithstanding had, before leaving
home. published a card IN your paper declining
to be candidate for the position; and notwi:h-
standing 1 had, both by letter and telegram, l.,
during my absence. in response to renewed
solicitations for the use OF my name in that con-
nection, declined such use. l will net quarrel
with my friends. believing their actions and
intentions, however mistaken, were well meant.
Still, as my friends abroad may not understand
the matter as my friends at home do, l deem it
but simple justice to myself to say that this and
every use Of my name in nominating conventions
this year were without my authority.

A CARD.

The special agent of the Continental Fire Insu-
rance Company has given notice, in public
print, that am no longer the agent Of that COM
pany, evidently intended and calculated to leave
the impression that had been discharged For
the information of my many friends and patrons
in Lafayette county, will state that info rmed
this special over year ago, that was not
disposed to represent the company any longer
for several reasons, prominent among which is
that they enforce the three -foarths clause in the
settlement Of their losses, which means they
only pay thfee-fourths of the actual loss sus-
taane'!. desire to say to my friends that still
represent six of the Oldest, leading companies in
the agency business, such as the Underwriters
Agency of New York, Fire Association and
American Of Philadelphia, and Scottish Com
msrcial Of Glasgow, Scotland. These compa-
nies pay the full amount of loss sustained.
