He was born in Dauphin County, near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Bth Sept., 1815. In 1841 he was chosen secretary of the Pennsylvanian Electoral College, and in next year clerk of the State House of Representatives, but he was sent to Congress in 1843, where he remained until 1847, when Presi dent Taylor appointed him Governor of the new Territory of Minnesota, holding the office till 1853. He removed the Sioux half breeds from Lake Pepin, and negotiated treaties with the Sioux and the Chippewa Indians. In 1855 he was chosen Mayor of St. Paul, and Governor of the State of Minne s:;ta in 1858, from which high office he only retired to take a seat in the Senate, and on the expiry of his term he is new rc-elected, bang chosen on the first ZACHARIAII CHANDLER was re-elected for Michi ;au for the third time by the Legislature of that State. lie was born in Bedford, New Ilampshire, in 1813. Ile was successful as a Detroit merchant, hick city made him mayor in 1851. In 1852 he cont( stud the Governorship with RobertM'Clelland, but was defeated, though in 1857 he was chosen United States Senator in succession to General Lewis Cass, and was re-elected in 18G3. He is chairman of the Corn:n!Gee on Comm ;re; and is more noted for his attentive and careful work than for any brilliancy. II! is a great hater of England, which he took occasion to denoun2e in his speech thanking the caucus. ,As our readers may recollect objection has been made to him for alleged in temperance. He is a strong Protectionist. Marritsw H. CARPENTER, a Radical Republican, was nominated by the caucus of the Republicans of the Wisconsin Legislature on the 19th January on the sixth ballot. He was born in Massachusetts, and graduated in the Howard law school 25 years ago. He was comparatively unknown beyond Wisconsin till a short time ago, when the lion. Edwin M. Stanton recommended him to be retained by Government in an important suit before the Supreme Court of the United States. The admir able way in which he argued the case took the able constitutional lawyers opposed to him by sur prise, and much is expected from him in the theatre in which he has now been placed. He was a cadet for two yearn at West Point, and then a student in the office of Rufus Choate. It is 20 years since he removed to Wisconsin and commenced his practice there, where his success compelled him to reside in Milwaukee. He married the daughter of Governor Dillingham of Vermont. It was not till the war that he became a Republican, and before that time he was a strong Democrat. General CARL SCHURZ received the entire Radical vote of both Houses of the Missouri Legislature, defeating John S. Phelps, the Democratic candi date. He is the first German United States Sena tor, but by common consent he is the first German statesman and orator in America. He was born at Liblar, near Cologne, March 2, 1819, and was a Bonn student during the revolution, of 1848. Into this he threw himself as an ardent Republican, first in the capacity of newspaper editor, and then in arms, having helped to defend the fortress of Rastadt against the army of the North German Confedera tion. He escaped to Switzerland on its surrender, but returned in disguise to liberate Godfrey Kinkel, confined in Spandau under a 20 years' sentence. For three years after accomplishing this the Gene ral earned his bread in Paris and London as a teacher of languages and a newspaper correspon dent. It was not till 1852 that his American career commenced, and three years of it were devoted to the study of law at Philadelphia, when he settled in Wisconsin. In 1856 he took a prominent place in the West, his eloquence being his passport. In 1861 he proceeded to Madrid as Minister to Spain, but returned eagerly to take his place in the army on the outbreak of the war. He was first appointed Brigadi6r-General, but on the 17th June, 1862, he was made Divisional Commander in Sigel's corps. Soon after he was promoted to Major-General, and distinguished himself in the Army of the Potomac. During 1863 he was entrusted with the command of a Corps of the Army of the Cumberland, in which post he continued till the struggle ended. He was then appointed Commissioner to report on the Southern States, but he went back to his old work as newspaper correspondent at Washington. Then he became editor of the Detroit Post, and finally assumed control of an influential Western German newspaper, the Westliche Post, from which this orator, writer, and soldier was taken to succeed Mr. Henderson as United States Senator. REUBEN E. FENTON, the new Senator from New York, was bens in the town of Carroll, Chautauqua county, New York, on July 1, 1819. He was edu cated at Pleasant Hill and Fredonia Academies, subsequently studied law, but finally became a mer chant. In 1843 he was elected supervisor of the town of Carroll, and in 1852 was chosen Represen tative from New York in the Thirty-third Congress. In 1856 he was again elected Representative to the Thirty-fifth Congress, and continued in this posi tion till 1865, when he resigned from the Thirty eighth Congress to accept the Governorship of New York. In 1866 he was again elected Governor, and served until January 1, 1869. Fenton was originally a Democrat, but afterwards joined the Republican party, to which he now belongs. At the Chicago Republican Convention he was a pro minent candidate for Vice-President. He succeeds Edwin D. Morgan, whose term expires March 4, 1869. Grave charges have been made against Mr. Fenton, more especially by the Commercial Adver tiser ; and it was openly said that he would be suc cessful in Albany who paid most money. On the whole, however, the selection gives satisfaction, and Marshal 0. Roberts, one of his opponents, has written to congratulate him on his success. Tuostas F. BAYARD was elected to succeed his father, who holds the place of United States Sena tor from Delaware till next March, when he will be followed by his son for the full term of six years. He is a clever lawyer, of strong Democratic prin ciples. He was educated at the private school of the Rev. Dr. Hawks, of Flushing, Long Island. His early training was for a mercantile career, and after leaving school be was for some three years in the counting-house of S. Morris Waln and Co., shipping merchants in Philadelphia.

The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s. 3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report. The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070 13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent. The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d., and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re assurances. The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than those of last year by nearly £19,000. A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks re -assured having terminated by death and other causes. The expenses of management are less than those of last year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed by the company.
