At the investigation of the ex-
auditor, Henderson, last night, he
submitted a statement for the six
months beginning January, 1878,
showing that the insurance fees col
lected by him and not reported to the
treasury, amounted to over 81 600.
Mr.. Henderson has had four such
terms since the law went into effect,
having retained office until Janury
%, 1879. As the fees vary very little,
he acknowledges TO having received
nearly SIT 900 from this source alone,
which, with the other fees, will make
his receipts from the insurance de-
partment $4,000 year. Three
fodrths OF the fees the law meant
should go into the treasury, but Mr.
Henderson claims to have drawn up
