To THE EDIToRs OF THE DAILY DEM
issue of January 4th, an article rejecting on
the sovency of the Liverpool and London Fire
and Life Insurance Company As no small ex-
citement has been created by similar states
ments in different localities, and as the state
ment published BY you is seriously calculated
to injure the reputation of this company " hich

must ask the favor Of you to publish this doc
ument which have recently received, and
which cannot fail to prove, even to the minds
Of the ,imid and suspicious. complete refuta-

ANcE Co-56 WALL STREET AND 81 PINE STREET
New YoRK, Dec. 4S59.-Statements rejecting
on this company are, in various publications,
being most industriously circulated. Ordinar>
lily such statements are un worthy of notice, and
indeed are 90 in this instance here in New
York. where the publishers of these documents
and their motives are known, and where the
character and standing Of the company are
fully appreciated; but Is elsewhere there ru.
mora may cause anxiety. it is deemed proper to
put sou in possession of the following facts:
That the accumulated funds of the company
securely invested. amount to over $3.50 600.
That the present current income of the com.
pany il 81 500 day.
That 100000 Of the companys funds are
invested in bonds and mortga e. on real e.
tate, in this country, and about $l5O,OOO in
bonds Of cities of the state of New York. 1t is
the intention Of the directors, which they are
nov carrying out. to increase the company's
investments in the United States, to one million
doilars
That the present income of this branch Of
the company is upwards Of t5SOOOO q year.
That this company has paid for loss,s by
FIRE, in this country. more than 81. .5OO, 900.
That, Notwithstanding this, and their losses
in other part> of the world the eompany's pro.
fits have continued to accumulate.
That their shareholders have regularly re-
ceived large annual dividends.
That the payment of no established claim
has ever been delayed for the single day.
And that At the latest quotation in London,
the companys stock was at . premium of $50
per cent.
With the facts before you, it will be clearly
seen that no company can be more worthy Of
the fullest confidence.
The New York shareholders, including the
directors have full faith in the integrity Of the
well-known merchants of wealth and eminence
forming the Home Direction. TO whom Is fairly
attributable the present highly prosperous con-
dition Of the company.

DAVENPORT IOWA THURSDAY MORNING. JANUARY s. 1860,

The CosGRKssroNAL DuRLLo.-If
anything was ever calculated to break down
the practice OF duelling and render it bye
word OF scorn, It is the style Of appeal made
to the code by our Representatives at Wash.
ington. Ridicule, that most potent weapon,
seems about to accomplish what the pen Of the
moralist and the tongue Of the priest have la
bored in vain for There vac time when the
eminence Of the nen. who practically recog-
nized the rules Of the code, and the deadly re-
/ suits that awaited an appeal to them. seemed
to endow the practice with soul Of dignity
and entitle it to some consideration. William
Pitt, George Canning Lord Brougham, Clay.
Hamilton, Jackson, McDuffie, and numbers Of
the most eminent men both Of this country
and England, in their time gave in their adhe
sion to the duelling code. and many paid the
forfeit of their lives on the bloody field But
those days have gone by, and now small.beer
politicians. constables. justices Of the peace,
and bondsmen are the most conspicuous dra-
uous fanfAronade that annually take place at
Washington. One Of theee ludcrous perform
ances took place there the other day, in which
the Hon. Mr.. Grow Of Penn'a and the Hon. Mr..
Branch Of North Carolina were the chief ac-
tors and covered themselves all over with
glory.
In the course Of debate in the Hous Grow
put upon Branch one of the coolest, most de-
ihArafA ipeulta inns nj k1o ~aita till
the next days GLOBE is out to see if Grow has
had IL left out in the printed report Of HE
speech if he has omitted it, why then Branch
will not challenge him to mortal combat
Next days Globe comes out with Grows speech |
and in it printed the terrible insult to Branch |
Thereupon the Hon. Mr.. Branch determines to
send challenge to Grow, and at once the
whole country is put in possession Of the ter
rible news by the public journals, and the tel
egraph spreads it far and wide. 1t seemed
that every endeavor was made to give publicity
to it, AS for the gallant Grow he makes q
confident Of his hackman instead Of his second, |
and tells the hackman to be ready to drive
him aud his friends to the spot appointed for
the fatal meeting. In the meantime anxious
friends and dear relatives inform the myrmi-
dons of the law, ever ready to make "fees." Of
these illegal proceedings, and as a natural con-
sequence noble Messrs Grow and Branch are |
bound over to keep the peace-wounded honor
is soothed, and their skins saved By affe ton
ats friends and constables hungry for fees
And so ends the farce of the bloodless duel.

Mr.. Washburne Of H., called attention to
letter he had received from a contractor in
Rockville, in that State, in which the writer
states that such state Of things exists owning
to .he failure to pay the mail contractors can
not be imagined. Mr.. Washburns wished to
say to the contractors that he did not consider
himself responsible for their distress. Mr..
Washburne washed his hands Of all response
bility. No speech had been made by his side
of the House; they desired an organization.
Mr. Barksdsle asked whether the gentleman
would now agree to the petition for tempo-
rary organization in order that the bill could
be passed.

Houston offered the resolution he. Wsshburne,
proposed to fi the blank with the name of
John Sherman, but the Democrats objected
