MUTUAL INSURANCE.

The subject of Mutual Insurance, now so frc.
quently agitatcd in this community, is ccrtony de-
serving of the serious consideration of all who
in want fsone system Of securing their property
from tho various contingencies of loss, to which
they are momentariy subjected, and at the same
time of retaining the right of receiving back in equi-
table proportion all the surplus PREMIUM remaining
after the payment Of losses. ~
In Joint Stock Insurance Companies, capitalists
and others arc found willing 10 embark their money
in the hazard Of inde:nniying others fer vrons con-
tingent losses on their property, on the principle
that the risks which they take, being vastly dvcrs.

feet teoshpr; 50 that if one loss is incurred, the
premiums Received great many other risks, ter
minatng f;vorlbly, secure the Company against the
loss, which would otherwise have to be paid out of
the capital stock. 1t is always expected by stock
holders in Joint Stock Companies, that premiums
will be received, sufficient in amount not only TO
pay all losses but with the interest on the capital
invested TO yieda dividend exceeding the ordinary
rate of interest from other Investments this
expectation usually rcalized the annual dividends
being in some cases, ten, fifteen, and twenty per
cent, and even higher.
The principle on which Joint Stock Companies
do business, is therefore the same as that Of Mutual
Insurance; the premiums which the parties, who
effect insurance, pay, forming in both cases, the
fund ont of which the losses expected 10 be pad
There is this difference however, that the Joint
Stock Company ntcrposcs its capital for the prompt
adjustment Of losses, and the stockholders divide the
surplus premiums amongst themselves; and on the
Mutual plan the surplus srcverts to those who have
paid premiums. In some instances this surplus is
very great
There is certainly something pleasing in the idea
Of man having his property projected from the dan
gers 10 which it is exposed, and that he shall pay
therefore, than what that protection is actually
worth; and this is exactly what the mutual insurance
plln offers.
The advantages which Mutual Insurance Com
pany has over Joint Stock Company, is that all the
partcs whose property is insured arc Interested in
tho profits to be apporlioncd among them, and where
much business is done the surplus is usually large.
On the other hand, the advantages possessed by a
Joint Stock Company over a Company simply on
the mutual plan, is in tho security afforded by its
capital for speedy and prompt payment Of losses,
offering greater induccmcnt to tho public TO effect
.surance.
It's the combination Of joint stock capital, with
the Mutual Insurance plan, securing both the advan-
tagcs mentioned above, which has made the Mutual
Insurance Companies so popular at the North, and
caused them to supcrscGc tho old Joint Stock Com
Panes.
! feel satisfied that this feature Of combination OF
JOINT stock capital is all that is necessary TO secure
for the Mutual Insurance Company, of which the
Charter published in yesterdays Courier, tho
hearty and successful support of this community, and
which for want rtlat support, has not been put
into operation altho its legal existence is now
| ly Of two years standing.
Tine joint stock capital necessary for carrying The
gcs before mentioned need not DO large. Fifty o!
sixty thousand dollars would bc quite sufficient

It claims that Congress has, in the face OF
these multiplied insults and injuries behaved to-
wards the Executive with the most respectful
forbearance. Itthen states that the majority OF
the committee believe that case has ncw oc.
Cured in which it is the duty of the House OF
Representatives TO prefer articles of impeach-
ment against the President. But they arc of
opinion that the Impeachment. in the present
state of public affairs, might prove abortivc-
[Great laughter To the. people, therefore,
alone must thesfna appeal be made. 1t was a
cheering consideration to the majority of the
committee that the termination of their own Of
fetal existence, and that of the present Congress,
was near at hand, and that the Legislative power
of the Union would soon be placed in other
hands on whom would devolvc the duty OF pro-
Tiding a revenue &c.
The report proceeds TO say that implicit obe-
dience to executive will is the only condition on
which the present Congress can act. Also that
the President has assumed the exerslse oil the
whole Legislative power of the union in levylng
money from the people without authority OF law
&c.
The report concludes by submitting Joint
resolution recommending all amendment OF the
Constitution so that in those cases when the
President returns bill with his veto, mgordy
instead of 'two thirds" shall have the power to
PASS it.

UORRID MURDER.

A most astrocious murder was perpctrated on
Friday last at the house of tDen Bosts,' in Ca
barrus County, on the body OF FLAMES S. Russell,
of this county, by man named Mark ksor-
The circumstances as related to us is as follows:
Kisor in the morning had been to Bosts' and
while there had been talking to some workmen
about having coffins made, said he wanted two,
one about FIVE feet and half and the other SIX
feet long-one of these would suit the length Of
Mr.. Russel-and if he thought he should die
soon he would make his own coffin, and his whole
conduct seemed as if he had come there to do
some mischief In the afternoon MIR. Russell
went also to Bosts,' and soon after him and XII
sor met they commenced dispute-Kisor drew
his knife and Russell having stick raised it to
defend himself. Afriend of Mr.. Russell STEP
ped up and took his stick from him supposing it.
would befthe means of preventing an alteration,
Kisor@was told to put up his knife. Kisor then
went into new building erecting by Mr.. Bost
and Mr.. Russell stepped to one of the windows,
and commenced conversing with one of the
workmen and the attention of all was withdrawn
from them and the first ntimation of their having
again met was an exclamation made by Russell,
when Kisor was seen standing over him with
his knife drawn ard bloody-as soon as possible
assistance was rendered but not before kisor had
stabbed him several times, in the abdomen, in
the thigh, cutting the large artery, in the wrist
and several other places on the legs slightly, and
he died very soon after his friends reached him.
The persons present were so astonished that
they made no exerton to take Kisor and he was
suffered to depart without molestaton. Since
the murder it was understood that Ksor had an
old grudge at Russell and had made threats but
Mr.. Russell was not aware OF any i'll feelings on
the part Of Kisor towards him. Since the mur-
der it is ascertained that kisor has threatened
one or two others.-C Charlotte ". C. Journal
