A CHICAGO INSURANCE FRAUD.-George
&, Smith, OF Chicago, formerly president
ard treasurer of the bankrupt State Insur-
ance Company OF Chicago, was arrested to-
day and put under 100000 bail In q civil
suit TO recover S15S,O and about nine
months interest on S3l6 900, assets of the
company alleged To have been fraudently
appropriated by the defendant. The COM
pany failed on account of the Chicago fire,
having liabilities OF $1,000 and assets OF
100000, the latter being ultimately deposit
ell with the National Loan and Trust Com
paDy, corporation having the same dtrec-
tors as the Insurance company. 1t is alleged
that the officers spread a false report that
the liabilities OF the insurance com pany were
81 C0c,GG0, and thus continued to buy up
large amount of claims at ten per cent. for
which they obtained payment in full of the
trust company. The affairs of the latter also
show large unexplained deficit, and an inn
pOTt3Dt book has been mysteriOusly got rid
OF. The payments of claims to the officers
were allowed in a bankruptcy settlement at
Chicago, which has since been set aside as
fraudulent. and the present suit is brought
by Homer Cook, the new assignee in bank
ruptcy. Detectives had been some time
looking for Smith, and lately found that he
was living elegantly at MorristOwn, n. J..
and appeared to be about to leave the
country. He was arrested at the foot Of Bar

much Influenced by the arguments he
will hear from sOvereigns, their ambas-
sailors and representatives. Moreover,
that the public opinion Of France has
now put 1t out Of his power to rule them

he must either consent to be frankly

the consequences. An exhausted and
discouraged nation might offer him the
crown, a victorious rabble might boot
him into exile. The army, the navy and

the French nation is, as we have seen,

been found to act vigorously and long

A NEVADA RABBIT HUNT Another
grand rabbit hunt-the second Of the
season-came off last week in Grass
Valley. John Guthrie, proprietor Of
the Sonoma ranch, having determined
to rid the vicinity OF the pests
which destroyed acres of grain and
vegetables for him last season, had
provided ammunition and provisions for
the attack on the enemy. Ten guns
were mustered into service, and the
hunt continued four days, in which
time eight hundred and fifty.six rab-
bits were slaughtered. One hundred
pounds of shot were fired during the
crusade, and Guthrie is satisfied with
the result. According to the record
kept by the bows at the ranch, more
than three thousand rabbits have
been killed in its immediate neigh
blrhQGl since last July. They
are tolerably we'll thinned out now, and
hopes are entertained that their depre-
dations will be less extensive next sum-
mer than last, when they devoured about
sixty acres Of barley, besides potatoes
and other vegetables. They were as
great plague to farmers in many parts
of the country last year as the grass
hoppers were in Kansas and Nebraska

Georgia is q fine example OF what a
Southern State under Democratic rule
can become There the reign Of corrup-
tion is at an end, and, however Federal
politics and State politics may engross
attention, there is the gertrude always
Of a just and capable State government,
whatever strain Of opinion shall meet
with most favor. In South Carolina, on
the other hand, the fight is primarily
for good government, and citizens Of all
classes are invited to join with the Dem
ocrats in the struggle to secure it. When
the campaign is over and the battleis
won, the South Carolina Democrats will
be free to grapple more vigorously with
national questions than they can do now.
They are obliged to look at home first;
although they are in entire sympathy,
Of course, with the National Democracy.
