Business .Embarrassments.

HARrFoRD, Or, January 1.-THE In.
surance Commissioner this morning made
application for the appointment Of re-
ceiyer Of the Charter Oak Lille In.
surance Company, and n temporary in.
junction. The Judge granted the injunc.
tion and ordered the officers into court
on Monday next TO show cause, If any,
why the application should not be
granted.
NEW York, Januaay 1.-THE Pod
says the firm Of John F. Henry, Curran 4
Co., drugs and patent medicines, has
suspended. The cause given Is the
pension Of E. ]. Dunning, Jr. The con.
cern Is one Of the largest II mot the
largest patent medicine firmsin the coun.
try, and in the Mercantile Agency books
Is marked as having capital Of from
$500, 900 to 100000. There has been no
settlement as yet Of the affairs Of E. j.
Dunning, Jr.
The P6a adds From all we can learn
they are not in al good condition, in sew
eral respects, as they were thought to be
when his suspension YVES first announced.
John F. Henry was the Republican can
didate for Mayor OF Brooklyn in the No.
yember elections.
Mr., Henry says his firm had large
amount OF paper in Dnnning's hands,
which had been sent back to them, and 1t
was impossible to meet at so short Il
notice, Mr.. Henry showed some checks
which he had taken up this morning,
among which was one for 81, 900 and said
Il was very hard TO be called upon SO
suddenly TO pay such amounts. Dunning
had promised 10 furnish them with Sl0,-
900 this morning, instead Of which they
would have to meet all the paper they
had on the market. Mr.. Henry could
D ut say what was his exact position It'll o
meeting OF his creditors had been called
and his books examined.
Fl. r. and A. NJ. Whitemore, partners
Of Fl. NJ. Cutter, cotton broker, who were
reported fleeing yesterday, are now an.
nounced missing. The bookkeeper OF the
firm has not seen any Of the members
since yesterday morning. He thinks the
total amount involved in their operations
will be $4,000.
Mr.. Henry this afternoon said his
firm had considerable OF Dunning's paper
and he in turn held. paper Of other drug
firms indebted to them, and 1t naturally
follows that when he suspended they were
unable to realize anything from him, and
be was under the impression that Dun.
ning's creditors would not realize more
than so cents on the dollar. This OF
course would affect his house. He hoped
for the best and was Of the opinion that
the firms affairs would not be placed in |
the hands OF receiver.
II. Hollister, q prominent member Of
the Stock Exchange, has suspended.
Liabilities estimated at $4,000. A
settlement Is likely to be made at 50 cents
on the dollar.

Rev. Mr. Morrison, editor oil the tfeS6y'

BROOKLYN, N. Y, January 8, 1878.
aMy Dear Mr.. Morrison: Its incon.
ceiyable TO me how rational men should
allow themselves to be excited by the
periodical misreporLs Of thereporters and
The Associated Press reports based on
them In regard to my sentiments. Week
after week my sermons are reported in
full by Mr.. Ellinwood, and printed in the
ChriAian UaiOn Of New York, and no man
need be at 4 loss to know my religious
aentiments. For twenty-five years, in
newspapers, in printed volumes, as we'll
as from the pulpit, have preached and
printed, in every conceivable form, the
truth OF the inspiration Of the sacred
Scripture, the existence and government
Of God, the doctrines OF the Trinity and
the divinity OF Christ as very God, the
universal sinfulness OF man, the atone.
ment OF Christ, the doctrine Of a change
OF heart, the efiicacious influence Of the
Holy Spirit in regeneration, and the
doctrine Of retribulion both here and
hereafter.
at Is true that the question Of the
nature Of suffering. the object Of penalty
and the question Of its duration, ! have
discussed with such light as / had, deny
ing that all the light had yet broken out
Of Holy Scripture on various points that
II contained.
aThe charges Of atheism, infdelity,
uniyersalism, theism, are made by men
who know nothing and who take no pains
to know anything. Eyes have they,' &c.
MY working sympathies go with the
evangelical orthodox ministry. Trefuse
TO be held to consistency with any dogma
tic system OF theology Of the past. lam
with Calvin and against Calvin; l am
with Arminius and against Arminius; i
am with Episcopacy and against Episco-
pacy; / am with the Roman Church and
against 1t, my object being not to build or
10 defend any system Of theology or gov.
ernment, but to bring men near 70 God
and build them up in holiness OF life.

TIE dissolution of the late firm Of
LIS. Delaplain 4 Son and the organizs-
tiOn Of new firm under the name Of
L. S. Delaplain & Co. affords us an op.
pOrtunity to say a word about one of the
oldest and most prominent business houses
in the city. The head Of the house, Mr..
L. s. Delaplain, has been continuously 10
the wholesale business in Wheeling for
81 years. For many years he was asso'
ated with William and Henry Tallant in
the wholesale dry goods and grocery
business, afterwards with Wm. Tallant,
and subsequently with his son, R. N. Del
aplain, and (aiterwards) his son'in,lawi
Mr.. Hullihen Quarter. The Grst firm
was formed in 1916, the second in 1868
and the third in 1865, and the last, with
Mr.. Quarter admitted as q partner, in
1873. In all this time the house has done
prosperous business and is now one o.
the strongest in the city, being quoted
from $4,000 to S50O,0OO in the mercan
tile registers.
As already announced, Mr.. R. NJ. Del
aplain has Withdrawn from the house
and new partner, Mr.. Joseph S. Gibbs
has been admitted. The firm Is now
composed OF L. s. Delaplain, Hulliher
Quarter, and Joseph s. Gibbs. Mr.. R
NJ. Delaplain withdraw, for the sake Of 1
respite from close confinement to busi-
ness, and to mature other plans and pur-
poses which he has under contemplation
hat which for the present remain unma-
tured. We are authorized, however, tc
say that neither politics nor political con-
sidetatiOns form any part Of these pur-
poses, and that the inlimations Of The
Rtgiler on this head were wholly un-
authorized.
We need not say that the new fru
start with we'll established business
strongly eutreuched in abundant expert
snce and capital, and can hardly fail un-
der the same conservative management tr
achieve a full measure Of success.
