To the letters of Secretaries Boutwell and Cres-
well, expressing sympathy for the Stokes over the
Senter party of Tennessee, the Nation finds two
objections. The opinions of members of the Cabinet
as to how Republicans should vote in Tennessee or
any other State is worth no more than that of
others who have never lived in Tennessee, without
special knowledge of its people's temper, necersi-
ties, and local politics. They know no more how a
Republican should vote in Tennessee than Senter
knows how a man ought to vote in New York, and
they and all others arc aware of it. Without this
special acquaintance their letters per se would be
impertinent and receive no attention, and neither
they nor anybody else expect any voter to be influ-
encedby their opinions to vote for any candidate; but
it is not so with th. 3 voters' fears, if with their judg-
mew-, for the one appoints all postmasters, and the
other revenue ass .ssors, collectors, and inspectors.
Otherwise, the opinions of Fish, Robeson, Rawlins,
Hoar, would be just as valuable. In face, says the
Nation, their letteri are i.i n ply threats to abuse the
patronage at, their dist,osal far the purpose of in-
fluencing a political contest which concerns them
no more than any other American citizen, and con-
cerns them far less than it concerns the voters in
Tennessee, and about the merits of which they are
not well informed, and in which any mistake on
their part would do incalculable mischief. The
second objection is that the feelings of antagonism.
and mistrust between the mass of the Southern peo-
ple and the Federal Government, the great difficulty
in the way of Reconstruction, is thus strengthened
Once admitted, the punishment of a State which
had taken part in the rebellion, ceases to be the
duty of the Union Government. Whatever Con-
gress has not provided for, should be left to the
people of the State who understand it. " At-
tempts on the part of the officers of the ge-
neral Government to secure a continuance
of a policy of proscription against the wishes
and the judgment of even a portion of the Repub-
lican party are, therefore, ill advised as well as in-
decent, and are calculated to prolong hatred and
distrust of the United States amongst that immense
and influential class of the Southern people, the men
and women who aided and abetted in the rebellion
and their children." The Nation censures Mr.
Boutwell's object in continuing proscription, the
natural effect of which is to excite hatred and dis-
content. "It is only justifiable as a means of
security—but this it can never be, as long as the
proscribed have a near prospect of coming into
power. So that to make further exclusion of the
Southern whites from a share in the Government, a
measure that will bear examination, we ought to
make it perpetual. Military government, in short,
may have its uses, and may do good, but class go-
vernment, whether based on loyalty, caste, or
colour, is sure to breed bad passions, and, if they
exist already, runs a fair chance of making them
perennial. Men will almost always sooner be go-
verned by a dictator than by neighbours they detest."
The Hartford Courant thinks that England may
be as much mistaken in its betting on the Oxford
crew as she was when she took stock in Mr. Davis's
Confederacy.

THE ELECTIONS IN THE SOUTHERN STATES.—
Gen. John A. Tarbell, Secretary of the Republican Exe-
cutive Committee of Mississippi, had an interview with
President Grant, at the residence of Secretary Fish, on
the 6th inst., which he describes as showing the President
to favour the Radical party. In expressing his belief that
General Grant's sympathies were with the loyal party in
opposition to those who sought to divide and betray it, the
President entered with spirit into the subject, showing a
minute knowledge of the position in Mississippi. The
substance of what Grant said is thus given in the Tri-
Lune: —" In his judgment, tho small number of those who
hitherto acted with the Republican party, now constitut-
ing the so-called 'National Republican party,' was in it-
self evidence that they could not be otherwise than used
by the opposition. With regard to the recent professions
made by those who were lately rebels, the Preiident was
emphatic and frank. flis only desire was peace and
amity, and he would do anything that was right to bring
that about, but these people Cast suspicion upon their own
motives, by the fact that all their efforts seem to 133
aimed at dividing, not aiding, the Republican party.
If they were really in earnest, they would not be so
anxious about those wilt whom they acted. To sin-
cere men, it coul t not be difficult to tell who, in the
South, were and had been friends of the Adiniuistraition.
He talked at some length on the recent contest in Vir-
ginia, and he thought from Governor Walkt r' Preechel
since Lis election that that gent7ernan was fully cou►-
►n'ttetl to the Adm'nistratiun, and was honestly intending
to act up to them. Referring to the proposal made by
Cul. Jenkins to unite the two wings of the ItepubEcan party
there, the President expressed regret at the apparent fail-
ure to accomplish so desirable au object, remarking that
the letter of Dr. Gilmer, in reply, showed that the ful-
lowersof Walker were not all in good faith ; but he still
hoped, however, that good would come out of the result
in Virginia. The conversation lasted for about an hour
and a half ; during the whole time most of it was carried
on by the President himself. The utmost frankness
was displayed by him, and on General Tarbell ex-
pressing his gratitude for, and gratification at, the
assurance given h7m, the President replied that in
his conversation with the gentlemen representiog
the new Republican party in Mississippi Ito had ex-
pressed himself much more emphatically against their
course and policy than he was now doing to Gen. Tar-
bell. He declared positively that his sympathies were
altogether with the Republicans of Mississippi, and
against all efforts to divide them, cbming from whatever
source they might. The President expressed confidence
in the character and admiration for General Amos,
who he said would have to do much more se-
rious things than those with which he had been
charged before he would order his removal, but he denies
any intention of suspending good competent officers iu
Alissi-sippi merely for their sympathy with either wing of
the Republican party." In a letter to his brother-in-law,
Judg ) Dent, he w►ites :—" I have said, and repeat it, that
if the Conservatives aro to win, I would prefer your elec-

Lion to that of any other person now likely to be elected ;
but, as matters now look, it seems to me that the weight
of nrj influence should be given to the other party. I
earnestly hope, however, before the election, concessions
will be made ou both sides so as to unite all friends of the
reconstruction movement." It will bo seen that (loneral
Ames has suspended in Mississippi the Habeas Corpus
Act, which has an ominous look for the peace of that
State. Ho has deposed a number of officials in Mis-
sissippi, who were prominent in tho Conservative move-
ment there, among them Judge Jefferds of the Su-
preme Court, and A. Warner, the Secretary of State.
As regards Texas, Judge Merriman had an interview,
wherein the President congratulated him on the bright
material and political prospects of his State, observing
that they had two good candidates for Governor, and
the people ought to be satisfied with the election of
either; but that whatever choice they made, if the suc-
cessful party, in goad faith, obeyed the Reconstruction
laws, end sent good and loyal nt-n to Congress, they
would materially advance their prospects for an early re-
storation to the Union, and final p'aco and proper 4y. A
tulegram from Nashville states that the chances of Andrew
Johnson for election to the Unite 1 Stales Senate are now
considered almost certain, as the majority of the Conser-
vative members of the Legislature elect are already pledged
to him. His only opponent of any strength will be Colo-
nel Bailie Peyton, but efforts are making to induce the
latter to withdraw from the contest. The despatch adds
that the Republicans are divided in opinion regarding the r
candidate, with a strong probability that Stokes will be
their final choice. Other advices state that the Republicans
.who supported Seater for Governor will bolt the Conser-
vative ticket if Johnson is nominated, and assert that his
strength is mainly confined to the Old Line Democrats.
In a speech of over three hours' duration at Blountsville,
Tennessee, the last ho made bafore the election in that
State, he took the most open and unequivocal grounds in
favour of national repudiation. The bondholders, he said,
had already received the amount of .their investments.
George 11. Pendleton has accepted the nomination for
Governor of Ohio, but, as repudiation leader, although in-
tellectually strong, his chances of success are considered
poor. It is anticipated that he will run against Governor
Hoffman for the Democratic Presidential nomination of
1872. Hoffman's friends offered the second place on the
Presidential ticket to Judge Ranney, of Ohio, to under-
mine Pendleton there, but the Ohio State Convention de-
feated the plot by nominating Ranney for Governor. Pen-
dleton's frier ,ls got Bosecrans' name substituted, as they
did net then think it advisable to put up Pendleton's.
Daniel Voorhees, who has been candidate for Governor of
Indiana ever since be reacbed the age required by the Con-
stitution, is still in the tield,but it is said that Michael
Kerr will contest the election with him.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS,
For the Year ending 30th June, 1869, read at the Annual
General Meeting of Proprietors, 13th August, 1869,
WILLIAM FREDERICK DE LA RUE, ESQ., Deputy-
Chairman of the Company, in the Chair.
The Report which the directors have now to submit to
the proprietors differs in its tenor but little save in one or
two particulars from that laid before them in 1868.
The income of the year, it will be seen, amounts to
£510,499 18s, and the total charge to £145,077 10s. 9d.
Tho difference, £95,422 7s. 3d., added to the balance of
the surplus fund at the commencement of the financial
year, wised that item to £1,002,974 15s. 9d., its present
amount.

The total of premiums received is £371,548 12s. Id., of
which sum £13,560 ss. ld. is for new assurances effected
in the year.
The interest from investments is £l' 0,959 12s. 10d., or
£4 2s. per cent. on the net amount of the company's
realised assets existing in June, 1868 ; and in connection
with this important feature of the company's affairs the
directors have the satisfaction of reporting that the profit
and lass account again exhibits a considerable profit,
amounting this year within a taifle to the sum of £48,000.
It may be remembered that a profit of nearly equal amount
was announced in last year's report.
Turning to the items constituting the charge of the
year, it will be noticed that the sum payable in satisfac-
tion of claims on decease of lives assured is larger than
usual. This circumstance, however, is not very material;
as was observed oa a previous occasion, the proper quin-
quennial average is generally pretty sure to obtain, and
the fact that the average for the past two years barely ex-
ceeds £309,000 tends to confirm that statement.

The expenses of management. are greater by nearly
£BOO than they were last year. They would have been
materially less but for the unavoidable cost of transferring
the company's securities into the names of additional trus-
tees. Taken as they are, however, these expenses must
be regarded as very moderate. It will be observed that
they are only three per cent. of the total income.

augmentation to that extent in the balance of the surplus
