PHILADELPHIA, Feb, 18, 1871. A reporter of the HeraLp called on Captain Prammon4, of the bark W. E.

Captain Drummond says:— “I first saw this vessel about eleven o’clock on the might of January is. It was the 19th by nautical time; the 18th by land time. First saw her mast- head lights. Do not know that she was a bark- rigged vessel. Her mizzentops were furled, and I could not determine. The vessel was acting very strangely, and it was all we could do to keep out of her way. She was steering directly south, She crossed our bows within 500 feetof us, This ‘Was about one hundred miles from Cape Hatteras; & perfect gale blowing.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11, 1871. THE RING MANAGERS IN TROUBLE. ‘The ring that is endeavoring to folst the whole ora part of the interest burden of the Pacific Railroad subsidy bonds upon the overburdened taxpayers of this country are getting seriously alarmed. ‘The leading articles in the Heraxp of Tuesday, the Tih, and Thursday, the 9th inst., on “Grant and the Treasury—The Financial Policy Demanded by | the Country,” and “The Railway and Telegraph Despotisms,” have created a profound impression here, particularly upon our lawmakers. We may not see the results this session, bu’ they are certain as fate, The rings are driven to their last resort—their stereotyped charge of corruption against every in- dependent jeurnalist who dares to stand up for the people against all corrupt combinations for plun- dering the nation’s Treasury. A correspondent of this city, who serves a journal that is run in the interest of the Pacific Railroad ring, sees fit to set up A MAN OF STRAW and knock him down again after this fashion. 1 quote his despatch:— One of the partners of a Wall street firm, largely engaged in bearing the Pacific Railroad securities,’ is keeping open house in the most liberal style. Sentiment against the roads is manufactured and sent to New York. On pretence of standing up for the policy of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury assumed facts are invenied, and by means of champagne, oysters and contingent “short” interest in the stock and bonds of the roads certain correspondents have been roped into the combination, and their papers are used to further the ends of the conspin Monday there was alarm. The “short” interest Is very large and the thing has not worked according to expectation. “If the action of Congress should be unfavorable to the speculative combination against the companies there may possibly be an unpleasant explosion. it is true that there are a large number_of weaithy and hospitaple gentlemen in this city who give most excellent dinners. Mr. Secretary Fish stands per- haps first on the list. Mr. H. D, Cooke, of the firm of Messrs, Jay Cooke & Co., has given several excel- lent dinners to the press, and many more to his friends engaged in other walks of life. In fact, good dinners here are rather in the regniar order; but that any journalist is in any way influenced by themIdeny. The idea Is preposterous. It could be entertained only by an oyster house Behemian. Certainly no one but a member of that fraternity would think of being mfuenced by a dinner that could be obtained any day at a first class restaurant for ten doliars, THE FACT 1S, SIR, the ring correspondent makes the above quotea statement for the purpose of covering up the real facts. What are they? Washington correspun- dents who, having the interest of the whole people constantly in view, give all the facts as they find them, suppressing nothing in the interest of corrupt combinations, are not the sort of men whose favor 1s sought by the ring manager and lobbyist. ‘The torty million taxpayers of the United States— we are all taxed from the cradle to the grave—have no lobby here. 1 have heard of no instance where a correspondent has been offered money to write in their interest, except the amount paid by the journal that employed him. ON THE OTHER HAND Ihave known repeated instances where lobbyists have offered correspondents money to induce them to write for or otherwise heip lobby jobs. The real contest is between forty million taxpayers on one hand and a well organized lobby of about eighty ring managers, intent only on keeping up a high rate of taxation and the carrying out of their various plans for taking money from the natien’s Treasury, on the other. In @ body of about eighty men may be found the Managers, the real heads of every job for taking money irom the Treasury without rendering an equivalent in return, As between the taxpayers and jobbers it is but too = to be seen which side exercises a corrupting influence upon the press. The pretence that the Wall street bear interest is bribing the press in the interest of the taxpayers and of economy and reforin is the merest subterfuge of a bailed lobby. NOT ABLE TO PAY. The principal or one of the principal reasons given by the Pacific Railroad corporations wny they should not pay the interest on tueir subsidy bonds semi-annually, as it accrues, 1s that they are not able. Now, as these lordly managers do not deign to give us a reliavie exmbit of their resources, I will endeavor to supply the omission. THE CENTRAL PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY. In a San Francisco letter to the HERALD, published August 18, 1868, I lind a statement of some of the State and county favors heaped upon tne Central Pacifit Railroad Company. The State of Callfornia guaranteed the interest, seven per cent, on $12,000,000 for twenty years. Placer and Sacramento counties subscriptions amounted to $550,000 and San Fran- cisco to $400,000. ‘To this must be added the United States subsidies, $25,181,000. in bonds; the right of prior lien, a guarantee, in fact, for $25,181,0v0 first mortg: veered and a free gift of not less than $31,000, worth of land. And yet 1t 1s seriously pretended here that this magunilicently endowed | corporation cannot pay its running expenses and the interest on its bonds. J shall be obliged to call on our friends, Messrs. Fisk & Hatch, bankers and Hnancial agents for the company, for a little infor- Mmation on that point. Under date of January 2, 1871, they make the following interesting exhib: The subjoined table will show the gross earnings and operating expenses of the main line of the Ceniral Pacitic and the number of miles operated in each year, from the commencement to the present time :— Aides Operated. Gross Earnings, Operating Paxpensce. - bite 56 Bi01,oat oo B121600 63 + 56 t0 94 4.917 57 200,730 61 to 187 (653 50,913 23 to 468 843,066 54 to 742 2,998,523 19 2 to 200 4,050,564 95 Tota! 13, $6,550,548 15, The following will show the aggregate net earnings, inte- Test liabilities and surplus earnings for the same perio: 10,079,285 i 4,184,221 Surplus of net earnings over interest. 5,895, From the foregoing tables it will be seen that the Central than Pacific Railroad has earned in ye ahd nearly $8,000,000 ing expen over operating expenses apd interest on ‘ts bonds, while dur- ing four years and a halffof that time the road was under construction, without through business, and for the first three years with less than 10) miles in operation, Of the earnings for 1870 at least sixty-five per cent was from local busiuess. Imost respectfully submit tnat if the Central Pacific Company cannet pay the interest ou its out standing bonds semt-annnaily, as 1t becomes due, it had better do as others have under like circum- stances—sell vut to seme company that can. THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY, The resources of the Union Pactiic Company are best stated In a leading article in the HERALD of April 5, 1869, as follows: To understand the case it ts ne to examine into the financial formation of that gigantic concern called the Union ag Railroad Company. It was created by Congress in 1882, jonal act of 1864 the stupidity of our Congressional lawyers virtually placed in the hands of the company the power to destroy all government interest (n the Toad by allowing an issue of ‘first mortgage boude to take precedence of the amount per mile given by the original act. The company, therefore, in 184 found itself’ in possession of meaus far more than adequate to the required purpore of building the road. esources, exclusive of capital stock, the comps wn estimate, as follows :— United States bonds on 617 miles, at $18,000 per ee ara 2 + 21,120,009 ono epee bonds of acres per than $1 50 ps staelf paseed an act refusing to sell its own reserved aiternate sec- Hons for less than $3 80 per acre. ‘This price would awell the hove amount tu BEB,550,000, giving $85,825 per mile for the 100 mflea—a litte more than twice the cost per mile of the at which the Pact- st of roads in The Staten above named. With $65,399 per mile with which to build the road, and the stock already a clear gain, it be- came a problem with the directors—or stockholders, as you please—to devise some method of pocketing whatever sur- plus of the above amonnt there might be after deducting the cost of the road, Even with prodigal management, and est!- mating the cost of the road at § this surplus ‘could not be less than 30,000 per mile, or about $86,000,000—certainly & moet tempting bait for the keen brains that managed it to dvace the law gud grasp the vast pile.

Unless tue government looks to the interests of the people of tbe United States in our great Pacific Raliroad we may expect to see it pa a clear profit, into the hands of those by whom, under thé guise of law, it has been go cleverly manipulated. _. THE OTHER FOUR BENEFICIARIES, che Kansas Pacific, Central Branch, Western Pacific and Sioux City roads are all of a piece—only smaller.

THE UNPARALLELED IMPUDENCE of these railway byists is truly sublime. The} dO DOS AEC 69 (al the Dalted Staves has wy. i cata ine yan! rights that jobbers are bound to In this matter ine) are certainly muatagsny a they will surely learn within the next few weeks or months, ‘The national government has under the law, as it now stands, 4 right to ZB AND ASSUME CONTROL OF THE ROADS. It has a right to reduce their inflated nominal capital to the real amount invested, and reduce the rates of freight and passenger transportation in portion, * The law 1s on the side of the people, and now that the monoponhsts have invited scrutiny it is found that they have not near much power as was thought, I wish partictlarly to call the reader's attention to the following section of the Pacitic Rail- Way law, Which has been until now overtooked:— Ro. 5, * * * And to secure the repayment to the United Staton, ou hereinatter provided, of the amount of said hance 40 isnued and delivered to sald company, r with all interest thereon which sball have been paid by the United Biates, the issue of said Bonds and delivery to the compan; shall, ipso facto, consutute a first (afterwards change to. ond) — mortgay on the whole iine of the railroad and telegraph, together with the rolling stock, fixtures and property of every kind and description, and ib consideration of which said bonds may be issued? ‘aud on the refusal or failure of said company to redeem said bonds, or any part of them, when required ao to do by the Secretary of the Treasury, in accordance with the provisio of this e¢t, the said road, with ail the rights, functions, tm- munities dnd appurtenances thereupto belonging, and also all the lands, granted to the said company vy the United States which at the time of said default shall remain in the ‘ownership of sald company, may be taken possession of by the Secretary of the Treasury for the use and benelit of the United States. It will be seen that the entire roads may be for- felted to the government on the failure of the com- panies te “redeem” the bonds or any part of them when required to do so by the Secretary of the Treasury, The word “redeem,’’ in this connection, does not mean to pay after maturity, but to “pur- chase’’ or ransom or cancel the debt before it 1s due. Under this provision, if the Secretary of the Tre: sury finds the company has the means, he may re- quire ite managers to buy in. and redeem now the bonds in controversy, He may require them to re- tura the squandered and fraudulent profits of the Credit Mobilier and apply them to the redemption of the bonds. ‘The national government holds in its possession nearly all of the HUNDRED AND SIXTEBN MILLION DOLLARS’ WORTH ‘OF PUBLIC LAND given the companies to aid the construction ef the roads. It must be borne in mind that the lands were given to aid the coustructien of the roads, and not for the purpose of being parcelled out, clear pro- fit, among members of inside rings after the roads were built, The proceeds of the sales of the lands should be devoted, as fast as recetved, to the payment of tne government subsidy bonds, thereby reducing the interest burden of the compamies and consegently the cost of transportation. Tne government has full powers to act. Let equal and exact justice be aone. AMUSEMENTS. WALLACK’s THEATRE.—“Home,” one of the late Mr. Robertson’s most charmingly worked out come- dies, was presented to a very crowded house last evening, and was received with every toXen of approval, The story of the play was told in these columns at the time of its first production in this theatre, and need not here be repeated. Much of the pleasured experience in witnessing a performance of any of Mr. Robertson’s pieces at Wallack’s fs derived from the extreme care bestowed upon the getting up, the rehearsing and the acting, ana in no instance is this more manifest than in “Home.” Mr. Wallack, in the character of Colonel Joun White, offers a finished picture of the travelled man of the world, placed in. a perplexing dilemma in order to save those whom he Joves from the machinations of scheming ad- venturers; and there is a quiet, undemonstrative enjoyment of the situation in his rendition, which Is irresistible for an audience, In those scenes where he makes pretended Jove to Mrs. Pinchbeck, as well as in those in which he professes real affection for Dora, he is especially happy, marking with great delicacy the difference between the moods, His meeting with the father is another com- mendable bit of artistic acting. In short, his entire impersonation is the perfection of comedy acting. Miss Madeline Henriques. as the intriguing: Mrs. Pinchbeck, looked and played the part admira- bly. Similar praise must be accorded to Mr. Gilbert, Miss Ele Germon, Mr. Ringgold and Miss Helen Tra- cy, who, as Mr. Dorrison, Lucy, Bertie Thompson and Dora, successfull stained their respective rdles. Mr. Stoddart’s Mountraffe was a well drawn, al- though a somewhat exaggerated picture, of an im- pecumous, filibustering chevalier Windustrie. The stage setting Was faultiess, George Colman’s comedietta of “Blue Devils” concluded the evening, affording to Mr. Stoddart an opportunity of portraying the character of Mr. James Megrim, a iypochoudriac Englishman, bat fied in his attempts to commit suicide, Mr. Stod dart played the part carefaily and gave great satia- faction, as did also Mr, Williamson in the character of James. ‘o-night “Ours will be presented for the last time, and on Monday next Dance’s comedietta, “A Morning Call,” will be played for the first time in this theatre, followed by the well known and popular farce-comedy of “‘Woodcock’s Little Game.”" BowEky—‘“PoMP. ‘anager Freligh is death on sensation. Not content with hanging a man, mis- placing a railroad switch, having a man and woman suspended from a progle trestlework, he has plunged into horrors more dire; and in the new piece of ‘Pomp’ he indulges in a real Mississippi steamboat explosion, a frightful railroad affulr, a auel across a table and jother heartrending things too horrible to mention. The following lines in the bill will give, perhaps, @ faint Idea of the terrors of this remarkable play:—Bombshell thrown into the camp; the white nigger’s cash; the threat; the warning; dog eat dog; it works, it works; the fiery circle; seize him, Pomp, hold him, boy; terrific explosion; destruction of the steamer by fire; the reck melts; the train is heard approaching: the joosened boulder; awful death; the bolted door; terror of the stricken lion; the penitent son and forgiving father.” What can we say after this? Only that Mr. William Crane is the king of stage carpenters, that N. B, Clarke’s man- agement of the stage is incomparable and that buly Frehgh will be pat to his wits’ end to keep up such sensations. If blowmg up a steamboat and tumbling down a boulder on an inoffensive train of cars is not the climax of sensation then where are we drifting to? The fourteenth amendment is glort- fied and canonized in “Pomp” to an extent that would bring Sumner and Wendell Philiips on their knees. In the language of te poet, “it is immense!’ Go and see it. Union LEAGUE CLUB THEATRE.—Miss Glyn, the cele- brated English tragedienne, read last evening the tragedy oI “Macbeth” before a select though not very numerous audience, at this bijou theatre. The lady's high ablilties as a Shakspearian reader have received their meed of praise in these columns, and her rendering of the different characters of ths sublime tragedy last evening was up to her usual standard of excellence. much larger hall or theatre. fes Glyn’s best de- lineation was that of Lady Macbeth. Her well modulated voice was alternately expressive of ten- derness, anger and remorse, as the situation de- manded. Sne failed, however, to infuse as much energy and power into her impersonation of the male characters. ‘the audience expressed, by fre- guent appiause, their appreciation of the per- formance. Woop’s MusEuM.—A new bill drew a crowded house to this popular theatre last evening, The performance began with a diminutive melodrama, entitled “Norah Creina.”” This was recelved with applause, and was tolerably well played. It was fol- lowed by & new edition of the burlesque of “Lu- crezia Borgia,” written up to the present time and lentifully besprinkled with some very good local ie best was jokes, puns and songs. Th “Gennaro,” taken by Miss Alice rrison whose exuberant admirable acting and fun, careful dancing made her the life of the plece and earned her frequent bursts of evidently genuine praise. Lucrezia was played by Mr. Mestayer, who introduced, by a process which must be seen to be appreciated, & hornpipe into his part, and by that means brought down the house. The rest of the cast was well sustained, and the most was made of @ piece which 1s only brilliant by occasional flashes. More care than usual seemed to have been taken with the mounting of the piece, and the songs which were here and there given, Includin; others, a new one of ‘‘The Little Chure! an’ the Corner,” were rendered very weil indeed by a good chorus. The present bill will, no doubt, run through the week with very good success. Park THEATRE, BROOKLYN.—To a crowded honse the burlesque tragedy of Mr. John Brougham’s “Much Ado About a Merchant of Venice” was pre- sented last night at this theatre, with Mr. Brougham as Shylock. The burleaque was complete; there was sufficient difference in the text and in the presentation for it not to jar upon the remembrance of the dramas of the “Immortal Will,” and yet enough of the play leit to make the burlesque supremely ridiculous by way of contrast. Mr, Brougham was well supported by the stock company of the theatre. The continued inter- spersing of operatic airs, popular melodies, break- down dances, jokes on current events and inuendoes on the peculiar habits of popular personages bring forth a healthy laugh at frequent inverv: the pertormance. The house was in admirable humor jast night, and was very prompt with the laugh whenever the joke came in. Mr. Brougham grows more and more in favor with the Brooklyn audiences, and his engagement at the “Park” may, as the playbillssay, be considered ‘a brilliant achievement.” Buckstone’s comedy of “Married Life” followed the burlesque. These pieces will be continued during the week, ana they offer an evening of thorough enjoyment, with very littie de- mand upon a continuity of mental attention, Thomas Boganton, thirty-ax years of age and born in Ireland, died yesterday in Centre Street Hos- pisal of pneumonia, On the 8th inst. deceased etther fell\pr jumped overboard from a ferryboat at pter 20 East river, but being rescued was taken to the hos- pital.

Continuation of Testimony Before Surrogate Cof- fin—Proofs of Violent and Profane Language on the Part of the Legatee Towards His Mother—A Witness Involun- tarily Goes Back on His Friends— The Case Again Adjourned. A further hearing of testimony in the matter of the contested will of John Bussing, deceased, for- merly a resident of Williamsbridge, Westchester county, came off yesterday before Surrogate Coffin at White Plains, A portion of the proceedings ex- citea considerable interest, owmg to the fact that a witness, who had been called w testify in behalf of the legatee, John Bussing, Jr., involuntarily acknowledged that he (the son) had used violent and profane language to his mother on several occasions in the hearing of his father, and that he was frequenuy in the habit of using such language when his whims happened to be thwarted in the slightest degree. Charies L. Mead, having been called by counsel for the legatee, testified as follows:—I was connected with Messrs. Scribner, Hull & Disbrow m the pur- chase of some land from Mr. John Bussing, deceased, in 1858; I had an idea that there were about eighty acres of land; in the signing of the contract I had an in- terview with Mr. Bussing; 1 then regarded him as competent to transact business; he managed the business and made the bargain with me about the land himself; we were to pay $1,000 per acre for it; Ldid not pay any money to Mr.’ Bussing myself; 1 paid my share to Mr. Scribner; Mr. Bussing REQUIRED PAYMENT FOR LAND UNDER WATER to the middle of the stream. Benjamin Archer, in behalf of the executor, testt- fied:—I formerly resided at South Yonkers, about one mile and a half from the homestead of John Fussiag, the testator; 1 knew him well in his life. time; Mr. Cromwell, a brother-in-law of mine, leased from Mr. Bussing the property now known as Valen- tine’s Hotel, at Williamsbridge, in 1848; | was present When the negotiation between them was effected; it was after Mr. Bussing had taken to nis bed; Ar. Bussing made the bargain himself and Mr. Heustis drew up the papers; Mr. ne leased the house, with reservations in regard to the ice house, slaughter house and right of way; there was some omission in the papers when drawn, and Mr. Buss- ing would have THE OMITTED CLAUSE INTERLINED; Mr. Bussing wanted me to become security for the payment of the rent; I offered to pay one quarter’s rent in advance, to give my brother-in-law a start, which Mr. Bussing finally accepted; the latter com- ey much about a pain in his back and leg; I id not discover any change in the state of Mr. Bussing’s: mina after he took to his bed; I con- sidered that he was CAPABLE OF ATTENDING TO BUSINESS or of making a will; I used to see John Bussing, Jr., at work on the farm; he always appeared to be a wonderfal worker. John Berrian, called by reat is Robertson, de- posed—I live at Williamsbridge and knew the testa- tor in his lifetime; f lived with him during his latter days; I nave lived in the family for seventeen years; I saw the testator nearly every day, and sometimes two or three times in tne course of a day; { alse saw his son John; JOHN'S TREATMENT OF HIS FATHER was kind; I never heard him use harsh or profane language to mis father; John took charge of the farm and was very attentive to it; 1 had frequent conversations with the testator, and on Sundays more than on any other day, because 1 was attending to my work durmg week days, and on Sundays I was at leisure; our conversation Was principally about the progress of work on the farm and about the cattle; I thought he was competent to do business, Cross-examined by Mr. Van Pelt—I live with Jonn Bussing, son of the testator, now; he has talked with me about this e; 1 heard him say that per- sons had testafied to the fact that he had used violent and profane language to his mother; John was generally in the house on Sundays; he had the mana.ement of the place; I was with him “a great deal; I boarded in the family and took my meals with them; the door of the room occupied by the testator was open as a general thing; I never saw the testator go out to the barn or garden: I have seen him going about the house and on the stoop, but never beyond that; 1 have seen MONEY IN HIS HANDS; Mrs. Bussing handed it to him; the old lady would say, here is so much money, it is ali ght; he would not count it; t have heard John use rather HARSH LANGUAGE TO HIS MOTHER; Tather harsh and profane words; he would say to her, “Go to h—il,”” when he felé angry; in’ talking of money matters tney would vex bim; 1 cannot remember that he called his mother a black-hearted b. but I have heard him use harsh and profane words; bis mother would tell him not to talk in that way, as she did not like to hear him do 80; Mrs. Tier or Mrs. Ryer’s folks were there nearly all the time; I have seen John use his fists, but cannot say how often—a few times; I knew Field, who worked on the farm; Ihave known John to swear and use pretty hard words when he was not pleased, and have heard his mother tell him not to speak so angrily to her. To ex-Judge Kobertson—Mrs. Ryer aud her brother Jonn were the principal parties engaged in the quarrels; he had also heard harsh words used by John to the daughters of Mrs. Ryer. John Bussing, ex-Sheriff of the count; been called by ex-Juage Robertson, testitled well, both before and afier he took lect being at his house in 1856, to 3 fweatintothe room and had some talk with him;I have no donbt of his baving been in a condition to make a will or attend to business; 1 could not see that there was any change in the condition ef his mind from what it was before he took to his bed; I know John Bussing, Jr., and have seen him frequently at the house; I have not heard him swear, strike lus mother or make a hole in the wall; I should have been much surprised if ] had; Jonn was a very hard worker; I should think the old gentleman ought to have gone about, and that he did not was very strange; he and my father were own cousins. ran proceedings were here adjourned until next riday. THE JERSEY CITY CHARTER, The Mayor and Ex-Mayors of Jersey, Hud- son and Bergen in Opposition—Mayor ©’ Neil Will Resign If the Charter is Passed. The ex-Mayors of Jersey, Hudson and. Bergen cities had a conference last evening at tne city Hall, Jersey City, on the subject of the proposed city charter. A resolution was adopted at the mass meeting on Friday night appointing Mayor O'Neill and the ex-Mayors of the cities now consolidated a committee to proceed to Trenton this morning and oppose the passage of the charter, It was in accordance with this resolution that the a was held last evening, It is a@ remarkabie fact that all the ex-Mayors, of whaiever party, are united in their opposition to the charter, except, perhaps, Mr. Gopsill, who 13 named in the bill as one of the Board ef Public Works, The entire measure they regard as AN OUTGROWTH OF CORRUPTION, while one gentleman proposed thai instead of call- ing it the Jersey City Charter, the name “Bumsted Charter” be substituted. He stated that his object ‘was to place the measure in its true light before the members of the Legislature from every part of the fayor Sawyer prenounced the proposed mea- sure ‘infamous,’ and stated its operation would entail poverty on a large ciass of taxpayers. If the names of men notoriously corrupt were stricken off the commissions he would be disposed to accept a compromise, but even to men of known honesty the new charter offers many temptations. Mayor O'Neill was most decided in his opposition. ‘The bili strips him of THE VETO POWER, except in one insignificant instance, and leaves him nothing but @ mere figurebead. It deprives the Board of Aldermen of the pewer which interests the taxpayers especially, namely, the apportionment and control of the tax levy. In short, it leaves nething to the people but the paying of assessments and taxes, without stint, at the bidding of dishonest Under these circumstances he will resign if ‘the bill should pass. Of the four oe Members from Jersey City in te gisiature Mr. Fielder has taken his stand with the Peonle, while Messrs, Anness, Hornblower and Warrin laid down their ultimatum to the Republican Com- mittee that Bumsted should be retained on the Board of Works, WHETHER THE PEOPLE LIKED IT OR NOT. Here lies the source of all the trouble. ‘The Repubiican County Executive Committec held @ meeting on Saturday night and repudiated the proposed charter in the name of the repubiican party of Jersey City id Hudson county at large. It was resolved to send Committee to Treaton to procure the defeat of the pill. ILUHOIS INTELLIGENCE. Insurance Companies Withdraw from the Board of Underwriters—Dashed to Pieces in a Coal Shaft.
