In observing, as. we did in the article
to which the preceding letter refers, that
s1be Directors of o Life Assurance Com
pany have no legal power, nor moral JUS
LITIGATION, to sustain them, in r~eyiving
policies that have ceased to exist for the
heightened period Of sixteen MONTHS"
the expression "legaI power simply APP
piled to the power possessed by Directors,
generally, in their official capacity and
not to power specially conferred upon
them by Articles Of Association, by some
clause in a deed, or by resolution passed
at q general meeting of shareholders, or
members. If a policy-holder who may
have determined to abandon his policy,
because he has no longer occasion to keep
it in force, or from some other cause or
consideration, should allow two years
premiums to fall in arrear, and then, sud-
denly finding symptoms of what may be-
come fatal disease beginning to be deVe-
loped in his system, should demand re-
admission to the Office, under the origi-
nal contract, and the demand should be
complied with, q gross injustice would be
inflicted on the shareholders, if a proprie-
tary Company, or on the policy-holders
of a mutual one. 1t is quite clear from
our correspondents W showing that
the power to revive a lapsed policy does
not exist in the Directors, per Sc, by right
of office. If it were so, in all cases, what
occasion would there be for the Direc-
tors of the company to which our cores
pondent is attached to announce that
Mey are endowed with a power which all
boards possess In expressing his belief
that 'there are several other Offices, in
which a similar discretionary power is
uested in the Directors" our position is
at once established; for, without such
delegated discretionary power, the revival
of a lapsed policy would clearly be as
illegal a proceeding, and an act as devoid
of moral justification, as the granting of
policies to particular persons, as a matter
Of favour, at reduced premiums.

] RESIDENCE OF GEN. GRANT
The rumor that Gen. Grant was
about to fix his residence at Phila-
delphia appears to have been I'M
founded. The house given him by
the Philadelphians was only nc.
cepted on condition that il should
not interfere with his purpose to re-.
turn to his old home at Galena. We
saw friend of his from the latter
place lately, who informs us that
seven citizens of Galena have pur-
chased there and presented to the
General a splendid residence, com
pletely furnished from basement to
attic. A house in Boston contribu-
ted all the carpets. There was a
time when the highest ambition of
Gen. Grant was to be mayor of Ga
lena, that he might secure the build
ing Of b sidewalk from his house to
the railroad depot. 1t will be graft
flying TO the General TO notice that

VWe have observed by our Paris
correspondence that d loan has been
authorized by the Corps Legislatif
of France for raising the sum of $780,
100000 francs for the continuation of
the city improvements of that worlds
centre of diplomacy, fashion, art, sci
ence, gayety, and dissipation. The
short-sighted might suppose that the
admitted position of Paris as the head
of the gay world would preclude the
need Of much expenditure for i'm
provements, but not so has thought
the Emperor. Accordingly, he has
appropriated infinite sums of money
in improving sewerage, in widening
and strengthening streets, and in or
namenting them with shade trees,
squares and fountains. Every sous
thus expended comes back in the
shape of a franc to the property
holders who are of course taxed in
one way or another for the cost Of
such improvements, and have to pay
it sooner or Unconstitutional Intellt-
geacer. E5Ns a'E

PoLTrrCAL ORGANIzATIoN.---The
recent movements in this city to-
wards political organization, under
the several titles Of Conservative
Union and Conservative Democratic,
have been, if not in full concert as
regards initiative action, without ma
terial conflict as regards avowed po-
litical purpose. The nnanimity, in
deed, on essential points, of all those
who have joined in the political ac-
tivity to which we allude, is. quite
remarkable, and we trust viii prove
constant. 1t is pleasing to observe
that the distinctions which arose in
the State organization Of 1864 seem
to be wholly discarded, and promi3
nent personages who were known as
Radicals then, and even more lately,
are pressing to the front ranks of the
Conservatives. r4r v4,. g47F
But the most cheering sign in this
connection is not the course of pro-
fessional politicians, but the DISPOSE
ton manifested in few striking in.
stances by the intelligent and solid
mass of citizens to develop from their
own midst platform on which to
work ont the political destiny of the
State. We may cite as one OF these
instances the meeting which took
place on the 18th in the Fifth Rep
resentative District. 1t was largely
attended, and in spirit as well as
numbers was genuine demonstra-
ton of the people.
It took the name of Conservative
Democrat But names amount to
little in the present unsettled and
precarious political situation. We
can conceive of only one Louisiana
party--that which claims for the peo-
pie of the State, within their legiti-
mate sphere, the control of its for
tunes for veal or for woe.-NeW

AS-The Richmond Republic says
"a correct exhibit of the qusptity of
peas raised in the Southern States,
during the war, would be something
stunning. For the last two years the
pea has constituted the daily bread of
civilians and soldiers, who, during
that time, consumed more of this
staple than in all che course of their
previous lives"

Pestilence, the gaunt sister Of War,
and her almost invariable companion
or follower, is coming to CLEAN with
Implying sickle the field still red
and reeking with the bloody reaping
Of battles.
In the far East, amid the minarets.
in the heart of the Holy City Of the
Mussulman, the'grim angel is shifting
"the faithful as they crowd The
sacred streets of tMecca---smiting
them, hip and thigh--and they are
falling, we hear, by the thousands
and tens, nay, some accounts say by
the hundreds Of thousands, in the
by-ways and alleys, whore they are
spreading, as have their fathers for a
thousand years before them, their
carpets for The prayers v hich every
true believer is found once at least
in his life to offer at the shrine Of the
Prophet Small honor does the inn
placable Cholera pay to the Prophet,
or the best of his Moslem followers ).
and so westward the tide of death is
rolling. Already it has crossed the
Red Sea and is scorging Egypt
with hand as heavy as it laid on
Arabia, and the city Of the Mace
DOMAIN finds as little mercy as the
city of the Moslem. Before another

score will fall in a day in the crowded
back streets of New York, and the
plague will be upon us.
Let us ask who viii fall and who
escape. The fate Of individuals. no
one on earth knows; the lot Of masses
all can learn. II is matter Of OBJ
servation, experience, figures, sta
tistics. The mass who will die in
localities visited by the scourge will

This is the history of all epidem-

Above all, let it be remembered that

disarms the plague of half its terrors.
1t is in the squalid ranks OF the filthy
Turks, in the unwholesome alleys Of
crowded cities, in the novels of the
thriftless poor, that the dread Pesti-
lence loves to rest, and there 1t Is
that he gathers the great mass Of his
harvest Of Death.
The South has need to dread the
day of the Plaques approach. Her.
cities and fields are full Of the death

the heart and hope whicbis half the
