to good companies and bearing har-
dly on the bad.
BY the law all life insurance
companies are required to report to
the State Auditor the issuance OF
every policy and all the important
facts connected Herewith, and also
to make annually a report OF such
policies as have ceased to be i'll
force, together with the amount of
reserve required OF the others which
amount must be kept on deposit
with the Auditor.
1t will be seen at d glance that
this makes Of life insurance a much
more safe inveStment for the insurer,
and gives d guarantee for the fulfill
ment OF the contract entered into
by the company, which cannot but
be satisfactory. The Louisiana
Equitable, therefore, IS as safe and
reliable company as there is III the
country and deserves the patronage
OF our people.

Louisiana Equitable Life Insurance
Company.

A glance 1T the names OF the gen
tlemen in whose hands the business
of the company is entrusted will be
sufficient to inspire confidence on
the part Of all Jul people, and we
congratulate the policy holders upon
having their interests guarded by
those who are so eminently able to
protect them.
In this Connection we desire to call
the attention Of our readers and the
public generally to the unusual and
excellent safeguards thrown around
insurers by the law passed at the
late session of our Legislature-a
law which became necessary from
the shameful and enormous frauds
perpetrated by several large life
insurance companies at the North,
and which, while it ensures the
policy holder against official malfea-
sance and rascality, does no injury
to the companies themselves. On
the contrary, serving asa safeguard

POLICE JUHY.-Our consolidated
Police Jury, ten in number, Will
meet to-day, at 10 o'clock \. NJ, at
the Court House Of the parish. and
in extraordinary session.
Whereas the Old one, five i'll mum
Der, being incompetent and green,
having more good will than good
sense, have simply made tie 1t boutl-
lie pour les chats, and whereas, exc
rythiny ought to be reformed or per
formed in accordance with reason
and for the benefit Of the commull,
ty. we have no doubt that our con
solidated Police Jury will justify
the trust and confidence rcposed III
them by the people OF st. James.
Economy and honesty, we repeat,
should be the motto our present ad-
miniStration, who, being advised by
an intelligent and conscientious
parish attorney, will certainly de
serve thanks and admiration for the
accomplishment Of their serious and
important duties.

Views and Advice Of State Senator
r. L. Allan.
NEW MAY

New ORLEANS, May 5, ISL.
Editor New Orleans Times:
At the present juncture OF pnollc
affairs, YOU will not perhaps consider
it inappropriate that | should say
:, few words through the medium
of your valuable columns, in justin
cation Of my recent course, and
would avail myself Of this occasion
to give my honest advice to my colo
red brethren.
Many Republicans, and especially
colorea men, are Of the belief that
there are grounds for q division or
iisruptiono fthe Conservative party,
and notably between Governor
Nicksys and Lieutenant Governor
~f1fz. To all such ! say, that there
is no more chance of such being
the case than there is of Hon. 5. 3.
Packard beingrecognized as govern
or,andI hopethat my colorcd friends
will not allow themselves to be cajo-
led by any such nonsense. l tell
them now, and | desire to impress
it on their minds that it is a
duty that they owe to them
selves to support the present State
administration to the extent OF their
ability.
Anexplanation has been required:
Why did l leave my seat in the
Packard Senate, and jointhe admin
istration of Governor Nichols when
Senator Demas and other colored
members had left the latter body
and Packard warrants had consi-
de1ably advanced in value! My
answer shall be clear and concise.
1t was because / saw that the presi-
dent of the United State had sent 4
commission here to investigate u
matters in dispute, and l did not
want them to make any adjustment
when we could do so ourselves. 1t
was because l did not want the
colored people to be left without
representation in the State Senate
of Louisiana, and because wished
TO prevent the possible semblance Of
the white race being all on the one
side aud the colOred race on the
other.
Surprise has been manifested
AMONG my friends why | so torcibly
seconded the nomination On Judge
IT. Nj. Spofford for the United States
Senate. AS a public servant. l will
give my reason 1t was because !
desired that he should so 10 the
Senate, not as representing the
Democrats and Conservatives alone,
but that he would truly represent
all the people of louisiana and,
having been elected as he was, there
can be no doubt that he will fairly
represent our interests, without
regard to condition, race or color.
A card appeared in the Times
of last Sunday, signed give Hun
dred Women," which at first sight
l thought was but q canard or bur.
lesque, but l have since learned
that it was Of genuine origin. II
advised the colored people to ask
Queen Victoria for privileges
with a view to them and their fami
lies e%migrating to the British West
Indies. A more Utopian scheme
never was developed, and its owl
tenuity will cause it to burst, fol
politics belong to men.
Now, my colored brethren, let me
give you a little plain talk. In spea
king ofthe present State administra
ton, you know, my friends, that w
did not nominate the of1icialsO f thi.

LECIsIATOEs.-We translate the
following from an attakaplan paper
published i'll Carencro City. Latiy-
cite parish:
They have come.
And they IRE splendid.
Those observation-disclosures they
are yentlemcn-have certainly cira-
red ont a clothing house. Ne" hat,
new coat, new shirt, new b%reeches.
new shoes, everything is new on
their body. And their white hand
kercl,ict spreads over their head a
perfume of EuN de Cologne. They
smell good and glorious.
They have been the servants OF
Packard and the servants of Mich
oils. They received the per Mem OF
Packard and the per diem OF Mich
oils. They have eaten the hay and
the oats. and every oath. They are
indebted to Pac1hrd fox the hat and
coat, and to Nichols o@nickels for
the breecl,es and shoes. For their
old breeches We're delapidated in
the part where the back loses its
name.
Hurrah for them! Bully for them!

I. T. ALLAIN.-The jubilee in
New-Orleans, in honor Of the Pope
Plus IN, who has been c~onsecrated
bishop fifty years ago, was magni-
ticent.
Senator T. T. Allan was n of
the .jubilants.
But senator Allan, by voting the
resolutions adopted in the Lafayet-
te meeting, cannot be considered as
a friend OF Victor Emmanuel and
Garibaldi.
And Les COco-bdnanes will never
vote for senator T. L. Allain, who is
opposed to the u~nification Of Italy.
But Senator Allan, who is a smart
fellow, says with a noble dignity:
i will be the black representative
Of the INSTRUMENTATION in America!

Should the Southern policy of
President Hayes not have met the
unqualified appreciation of our Nor
thern sister States,a howl of denun-
citation would have been heard ag-
ainst it, and they would have arisen
solidly and denounced its author
through their legislatures, while pu-
bic opinion would have caused its
immediate abrogation. But the fact
is before us all, that no public de-
monstration has ever been made in
opposition to the Nichols govern
ment throughout the Union, which
must be held as another evidence
that it meets with the national con-
currence.
There is another matter that
ought to have been previously men
toned. Governor Nichols and Lieu
tenant Governor Wilt are in perfect
accord as to enforcing the rights OF
the colored race, and Governor
Witt has already shown his dispo-
sition by using the greatest courtesy
to colored senators and by appoiu-
ting them on some very important
comittees. While we possess such

The buffalo Ia fast following In the
footsteps of his former hunter, the
Indian, and going to that happy hunt
ing ground where the savage will ever
pursue him. The slaughtering OF the
animal now going on in Western Texas
Is reported as something simply terri
BILE. The animals are killed by the
thousands for their hides alone, the
meat being left to rot on the prairies.
The buffalo cannot exist long under the
present system, no less than one mil
lion OF them having been slain last
winter In Texas alone.
Great complaint is made against this
slaughter by the Texas papers, who de-
clare that 1t has much to do toward pre-
venting the settlement OF the Western
frontier of the State. They Insist that
the extinction of the AmsEtcan bison
should be prevented by the general
government, and the officers at the from
tier posts should have authority to pre-
vent their wholesale destruction.
The buffalo is entitled to at least as
much consideration as the Indian, and
ssince the government has kindly taken
the red skin under its protection, we see
no reason why it should not do the same
by his friond, the buffalo.
