ONE OF the few things done by the
Senate of the Congress that will ad-
iourn next Monday, was its passage OF
- resolution to pay Colonel Ainsworth
the cost to which he was subjected by
his successful defense of the charge
that he was responsible for the Ford's
Theatre accident. That that charge
was not only groundless, but was utter
ly absurd, is demonstrated by the fact
that the Colonel was constantly going
in aud out of the building himself,
which he certainly would not have
done ifhe had not been assured that he
ran no risk in so doing.

The INSURANCE WAR.-The fight
that has been raging quietly in Rich
mond for some time between the
Southeastern Tariff Association and
the fire insurance companies that are
not in the association, will take an in
teresting turn to-day. The local board
of underwriters was recently reorgan-
lied on a more liberal basis than it had
previously rested upon, and efforts
were made to bring back into fellow
ship those agencies that had drawn
out. This proved futile, and the
board has decided to waive all rules
and rates in competition with non-op-
Grating companies at March /. This
means that the underwriters will not
cut on each other, but that they will
meet the cuts of non-board companies.
