Why he like others is not gay;
What makes the tears flow down his
cheeks,
From early morn till close Of day.

Oh the birds they were singing in the

When the myrtle and the ivy were in

The sun on the hills was adorning,

That we together roamcd the dell;

That would marry kittie Wells.

None of the Radical legislation so much
needs amendment, if marlborough uproot-
ing, as the Insurance laws and yet they
have been permitted to remain untouch-
ed. The plan of requiring deposits by
companies doing business in tie State, was
a forced loan extorted by the wreckers
when they seized the State Government.
The financial condition of the State did
not admit of its speedy and violent
abandonment when the Reformers came
into power, but the time is coming, if it
has not already come, when it can be
changed. The trifing deposits of from
$4,000 to $50, 900 affords no substantial
security to policy holders against concerns
which have become bankrupt, if they
are not doing an insignificant business,
but they do serve to create monopoly
and to increase the rates of insurance to
the policy-holders.
Especially should the deposit law be
r0DGdlou as 10 Lille luSuFdUCc COIN )dulSS'
They cannot and will not make the de
posts. Their business will not admit Of
it. Let the law be repealed as to them
and let their privilege tax be reduced
The present rate is so high that it is pro
hibitory. In imposing privilege taxes
the rate should be fixed so as to obtair
the most revenue with the least oppres
sion. When the rate is prohibitory, nc
revenue is received. If the tax on Lif,
companies is reduced the State will re
ceive additional revenue, and no injury
will be inflicted on any one.
To show the workings of the presen
system it is only necessary to mention
the fact that large sums are now sent GU
of the State by her own citizens to pa,
premiums to outside companies whicl
do not pay dime of taxes.

Precisely what w. E. Chandler asked
Mr.. E. A. Burke of Louisiana, in refer
ence to the Wormley Hotel conference at
Washington, by which it was agreed that
the Presidential count should 90 on after
the detection of the fraud that had been
practiced, and by which the contest was
practically settled in favor of the Repub-
lican candidates, who were known not to
have been elected is stated in the fol-
lowing telegram of the former to the
latter:
Major E. o. Burke, New Orleans:
Referring to denials in a recently pub
lished interview of yours, / have the honor
especttully to ask you this question: Were
yOu as the representative of the Nichols
| Government, with other Southern men and
Mesers. Stanley Matthew'S John Sherman,
| Charles Foster and James A Garfield all or
any of them, and other Northern men, pre-
sent at a conference or conferences at

| February 26, last, concerning Louisiana
affairs? If so. was any written paper.
whether signed or unsigned, and whether
| with or wit out names affixed as witnesses
| of its correctness, made then, or subse-
| quently, embOdying or purpOrting to state
the whole or any part OF any agreement. I'M
Outstanding or intention resulting from
such conference or conferences concerning
Louisiana affairs or concerning the Packard
or the Nichols government or the Federal
troops in New Orleans; if so, have you now
or have you ever had that paper or a copy
| thereof; is it in existence; if so, where is il
now if not, when, where and by whom
was it destroyed, and will you or not make
it, or copy of it, public, if you have it?
(Signed) w. e. CHANDLER.
The public have been informed that
Burke has answered these pointed inqui
ries by calling Chandler hard names, every
one of which, and more besides, he I'M
doubtedly deserves, but this does not an
swer the statements of Chandler about the
conference, and the agreement between
the high contracting parties. Never
mind Chambers scoundrelism, Mr.
Burke, it is the conference the public are
concerned about.

for other counties, named in the bill, but
so far as our own immediate county of
Kinds is concerned, we are entirely sat

paramount consideration in legislating
on this subject, should be to make
sure of Democratic representation and
secondly, reference should be had to geo.
