pose that Tho end is no. yet" We

to End out the ,,"true inwardness" Of

why it was that Auditor Bennett was
so bitterly prosecuted BY the gentlemen
representing these companies. until
they perceived that 10 carry their little
game any further would result in an
expose which would drive them from
the State. The Pi,tsburg Insurance
World. Of March 81, in speaking OF
this matter, says:
at seems that We werc 10 error in
supposing that the impeachment Of

State Of West Virginia, was an effort

rascalitles have made that State a re.

reliably informed That the shoe wa,

Hence We are glad to note their

crease. while in the First District the
decrease is SlS9.0S4, aud the Third
$780, greater than the increase.
while the average incre ass on the

feel satisfied that the assessment: in
many of the counties, Of The State are
too high. but in majority of the
counties proper efforts we;e not made
to lay the grievance before tho Board
