The Travellers Insurance Company, of Hart
ford, Conn, was the first to successfully Introduce
In this country the practice OF Insurance against
Accidents, of whatever kind, whether they occur
IN travelling, in hunting, fishing, sailing, riding,
skating, IN the street, store, eflce, while work
ing 10 shops, mills, tactories or on the farm.
General Accident Policy covers every poss
oietorm OF casualty, including the risk in travel
ing, also all forms of dIslocatons, broken bones,
ruptured tendons, sprains, conclusions, crushings,
bruises, cuts, stass, gunshot wounds, poisoned
WOUNDS, burns and scalds, freezing, bites of dogs
unprovoked assaults by burglars robbers or mur I'd
erars, the action of lightning o sun stroke, the
effects of explosions, chemicals, floods and earth
quakes, sufocation by drowning or choking.
This company has been in successful operation
since April lat, 1864, and up to April /, 1866 had
issued over fortyttee thousand policies, and paid
over fourteen hundred losses-in addition to tho
large sum OF S92 800 realized to twenty nine
policy holders, for S542 received in premiums
GENERAL ACCIDENT Policies.
The best policy for every man, whether ne trav
els much or little, is General Accident policy
which insures against every possible form of
atty, at all times and places.
An annual premium of $40 or $12 (accordiuu tn
occupaton), will secure General Accident poli-
cy for ST. 900, in of fatal accident or $40 per
week during disability caused by accident mot
exceeding twsnty-sx weeks for any one accident
An annual premium of $25 or $50 will, IN like
manner, secure policy for Sc, 900, or $40 pei
week compensation.
ANY other sum, from $500 to $4,000, at pro-
portionate rates. Where policies issued
against loss OF life only, the rates much lower
liberal discount on three and five year policies
ONE MONTH GENERAL ACCIDENT POLL
CIES.
This company issues very convenient form o.
One Month General Accident policies Mt the rate
of 81 per thousand-with So per week connens,
ton for each thousand insured. These arc muct
better than insurance tickets Cor travellers and
others desiring short risks, they can be t,k.
in any amount from $500 to $40 700; they cove,
all accidents, and each policy is registered, SC
that the insurance is good IN case the policy il
lost destroyed
For mechanics and others who cannot easil,
spare the amount of an annual premium, bu
would like to insure by the month, these shor
time policies are s.just the thing" To any per
son who buys six one month policies in any on
year, policy for half year will be given with
out charge Except policy fee OF one doliar.)

ton:
Rcso7red, That public justice and national
security demand that as soon as it may be
practicable, jefferson DaviS,a representative
man of thu rebellion, should have a fair and
impartial trial in the highest appropriate
civil tribunal of the country, for treason ssAo-.t
fragrant in character 0y him committed,
in order that the Constitution and the
laws may be fully indicated, the
truth clearly established and affirmed,
that treason is crime, and that the offence
may be made infamous; and at the same time
that the Question may be iudicially settled,
finally and forever, that no Stale, Of its own
will, has the right to Tcnouncc its place ii the
Union.
Rea07red, That public justice and national
security demand that in case Of the conNic-
ton of the said Jefferson Davis, the sentence

order that the Constitution and the laws may
be fully vindicated and faithfully executed,
and the truth clearly established that treason
is a crime and that traitors should be pun
iShed.
Res0lced, That in like manner, and for like
reasons such Of the most cUlpable of the
chief instigators and consPiratorS of the re-
bellion as may be necessary to satisfy the de-
mands of rublic justice, and furnish security
for the future, aud those criminally response
bic for the murder and starvation ofthe Union
prisons of war, should be tried and punished
for the high crime of which they have been
guilty.
Res07re3, That justice should rot fail Of its
purpose, and that all who are guilty of or arc

President, and the great offenders during the
recent rebellion guilty Of and responsible for
the murder and starvation of Union prisoners

be tried, convicted and punished by mill
tarv tribunal authorized by law and sane
toned by the common law of war and the
usages of civilized nations whenever and so
far as may be necessary to secure the ends OF
justice.
Res0leed, That the Committee on the Ju-
dietary be instructed to inquire what leglSla-
ton, if any, may be necessary to provide Ju-
ries for trials for treason, for writS Of error,
and to carry into effect the purposes Of the
foregoing resolutions, and that said commit

THE ADMISSION OF SOUTHERN REPRESENTA-
TIvEs. Washington, January Sit is rumored
that President Johnson, at the meeting of Con-
gress, Will send in Especial messtge in regard to
the admission of members of Congress from the
Southern States The course of Henry J. Ray
mond, it appears, has somewhat alarmed the ultra
radicals. 1t is understood that Mr.. Raymond
has publicly expressed himself as holding that
since the rebellion has ended and slavery is abo-
ished, the North and South should have equal
representative powers in Congress. He argues
toat in the North, under the ,Conetitution, has
no right to legisate foa the South uniess the
South is represented in Congress- He believed
that the majority Of the Southern members have
been legtimately y elected, and should be admit
ted to seats. Mr. Raymond, despite the machi-
nations of the ultraStevens party, when Congress
gets to work, will be an earnest supporter OF
President johnson and the leader of the House.

in this District, as an example, to the rest of the
Union Members frofa Eastern and Western
States; that have repudiated free black suffrage
at home, will vote for unreseryed and unrestricted
suffrage in this District. The object is no doubt,
to famarize the Northern people with the
