LITE ASSURANCE AT The SOUTH IN THESE
TINEs.-We print below a letter from the secre
tary Of one Of the most substantial life assurance
companies In the United States in reply to an In.
quiry on the part Of an insured citizea Of Wash.
Ington whether the troubles OF the times may no,
vitiate his policy Of life insurance. The citizen
IN question Is an anti-secesslonist and over the
military service age:

me Most certainly the - Life Insurance
Company have never thought Of and never will
repudiate their policies Of Insurance or any other
contracts, and cannot think any life insurance
company would do so. IL ii not fire insurance
companies to which you have seer illusions
Their policies terminate every year, they are
at liberty TO insure again or not
Life insurance contracts are continuous and 40
long az the assured fulfill their conditions we are
bound TO stand by our agreements and shall do
So The only conditions Of our policies bearing
any way upon the present "deplorable sectional
troubles" and which are not likely to affect yo u
gre those making void your policy in case YOU
''shall, without previous consent, enter into any
tary not In active service excepted;'') In case
tue assured "shall die In violation of or atternpt
TO violate, the law Of the United States or Of any
State, county, or place"
The hrst can only mean voluntary entering into
military service, which would involve an expo
sure Of life to which our rates are inadeo uate,
which would make void the policy. This you
are not likely TO do.
In regard to the second, Il is plain, and means
just what 1t saws but should such state of things
arise-which Is hardly possible-as that you or
any OF our assured should be required by the laws
under which they live, meaning constitutional
law, to stand in the breach and defend the laws
from violation, cannot think Justice or equity
by which this company intend to be governed
would release Us from our obligation.
w lille we do not intend to insure against viola

or IL the law requires it, patriotic defense of his
country and the Union. Hoping cur views will

ierred to may not be forced upon our country,

points to the original cause ofcontenton as started

and that consequently the "right" Of the question:

CONVICTION NEWS.

FIRE DEPARTMEKT.-Accordl to a re-.
port made by Mr.. Ricke, City Clerk, to the
Council on Thursday evening last, the ex-
penses of the Fire Department for the two
years, 1859 and go, have been $4, 1876 95.
The expediency of substituting steam for
hand fire engines has been under considera-
ton. They have been so successful in Gin
cinnati and other large cities, we know no
valid reason why they may not be proftably
introduced here.
Mayors 0FFICE.-Yesterdsy afternoon as
man, who was carrying around on his back
huge box, somewhat after the fashion OF
an organ grinder, set it down on one of the
streets and was amusing the crowd by al
lowing them to peep into the inside, at five
cents a sight. Upon the outside, were the
words Panorama of Sebastopol, the Russian
War, different views, changed every week, ["
in large letters. He gave his name as Simon
Jemperlock, and was fined 81, costs included,
for exhibiting the panorama without o
license.
CRoUIT CoURT.-Y Yesterday, two suits were
decided against the city, one of 81, 900, in
favor of Deglow for damages TO his house
caused by the digging of a cellar near th'
corner Of Pike and Scott. streets, and thu
other, Of $50 in favor Of Wade, for damage

| fined yesterday by Mayor Hawkins, for dis
turbing the peace by fighting and disorderly
conduct: Thomas Burrows and Patrick
Griffith, each So and costs, and Patrick Cam
| field So and costs.
ARREs TED AND DIsCHARGED.-Yes Yesterday
morning Scotchman, named Collins, came
from Cincinnati to the Newport Barracks,
| from which, in company with man named
Harvey, an officer at the Barracks, they
started playing through the streets on the
Scotch bagpipe, and thereby gathering
crowds around them. This being annoying
to the citizens, they were arrested and tried
in the Mayors Office, but the offense not
being considered worthy of punishment,
were discharged.
| THE KIDNAPPING CAsE.-Silas Smith, alias
| Jones, the supposed kidnapper, who escaped
| from the officers of this city day before yes
terday, was retaken in the evening of the
! same day, in Cincinnati, by Officer Horsfall,
assisted by the policemen of that city. He
was arraigned before Judge Love- and held
over for examination on Wednesday next. 1t
| is uncertain in which State he will be tried.
The negro is still in Jail in this city, but will
| probably now be released; and if the trial of
the kidnapper be held in Ohio, can legally
testify against him.
RELIGIoUs.-The Old School Presbyterian
cOngregatlOni whose cnurcn was destroyed
| by the late storm, will worship for the pres
ent in the Hall occupied by the Templars, on
the corner of Madison and Monmouth street.
Service each Sabbath, at eleven o'clock in the

SCHOOL EXHIBITIoN.-The pupils of the
High School of this city, under the in
struction ofProf. T. D. Edwards, will give an
exhibition this evening at the 0ddfellows
Hall. 1t is designed as a parting remem-
brance between scholars and teacher. Prof.
E. having received the appointment of
Attorney General of Colorado Territory, will
leave for the scene of his future duty at an
early date. The exhibition will consist of a
number of dialogues, declamations, original
compositions; the whole terminating with a
representation of the drama of William Tell
the parts being assumed by the pupils.
DRESS PARADE.-To. morrow morning, the
soldiers, numbering about 300, will be drilled
and paraded by the officers at the Barracks.
The men are in good condition, and will, no
doubt, make splendid appearance.

ADJUSTMENTS.

PrE1's oPHRA-HoUan.asThe pluvial Hyadet
seem opposed to Madame Fabbri, whose
farewell sntortainment last evening at the
0pera. house, for the benefit Of Mr.. Adams,
was in Consequence of the storm, rather
slenderly attended. The prina donna did
not allow her spirits, however, 70 be damp
ened BY the externally-falling lain, but sang
and acted as we'll as she has done here at
any time, II not better; throwing all her
heart and soul into the roles she assumed.
Mr.. Adams did not sing as well as usual, and
his acting was defective. We part with the
Madame with regret, hoping to see and hear
her at no distant day in full opera, in some
Of the parts in which we know she is en-
tirely' worthy Of the admiration she has
awake med on both sides of the Atlantic.

Collins will repeat his part Of aMiles Ma

received la vt evening by large audience on
the occasio n of his benefit with decided
favor. The d. vams is really effective, not from
what Bourciet t'ault has done for il, but from
what Gerald Gvifin, a man ofgenius, nadeit
in his celebrated novel. Mr.. Collins's aMiIes''

Campbelrs Minstrels had a good house last

will be largely greeted, as amatter Of course; /;
for fondness for Ethiopian minstTelsy here
seems TO "grow by what it feeds on"
MELoDKoN HALL.-The Christy Minstrels
make their FIRST appearance here for several
years next Monday evening at the Melodeon.
The troop consists Of sixteen performers.
and is one of the very best in the country.
We venture to predict, though running in
opposition to Hooley 4 Campbell, that they
will draw largely.

give grand :exhibition-drill with tableaux,

ment, independent of the charity, will be
quite interesting.
