THE man who votes for Hester CIy-
mer declares in favor of the release of
Jeff. Davis, takes the first step in the pro-
ceedings to assume the rebel debt, aud
prepares the material for a chapter in
history proving that the traitors, in strik-
ing at the Government, were justified by
wrongs which no people could bear and
preserve their manhood. Never has SO
much depended on single vote of every
person at the coming October election
Ballots then, like bullets in the late war
must decide the fate of the State and the
nation.

Il will be seen that in this case the
States OF Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Massa-
chusetts and Ohio would each lose one,
and the States Of New York and Pennsyl-
vanla each two. On the other hand, the
States of Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia
would each gain one. As the total voting
population of the Northern States is 49,
652,776, and of the Southern States
8,026,700, this would give in the North
ern States one member for voting popu-
lation of l26,689, and in the Southern
States one member for voting popula-
tion of 85,496. Those, therefore, who
oppose the amendment, or who at the ap-
preaching election vote for Congressman
of the johnson party, thereby vote that a
voting population Of l26, ,889 in the North
shall have as much power as 85,496
Southerners, the immense majority of
whom are unrepentant rebels.
The constitutional amendment, upon
which the admission Of the Southern
States to Congress is made dependent, and
with it the Republican party, insist that "a
voter In the Northern States shall count
as much as in the Southern States. IF,
accordingly, the voting population be made
the basis of representation, the ratio OF
representation would be Ill ,685, aud she

and one philanthropic institutions of this
most phiIanthropic age. 1t is an addi-
tional consideration, though Of compare
lively slight Importance, that the large
funds accumulated for Life Insurance are,
in great part, a positive addition, which
would not otherwise be made, to the
available capital of the country-to the
stock which keeps in motion and renders

MERIT OF LIFE INSURANCE.

The case with which fortunes are
gained and lost renders our people san
guine, improvident, and extravaganza.
Especially is this improvidence manifest
ed in reference to the contingency of
early death. Persons Of fixed incomes,
including those who depend upon sala-
ries and wages, as we'll as those who
subsist upon the revenue OF an invested
property in which they have only a life
interest. still think that they are sufici-
emily economical if their expenditures
do not exceed their receipts. Hence the
sudden and cruel alterations Of fortune
which we are all so frequently obliged to
witness. A whole family, who have
been deIicatcly nurtured, unaccustOmed
to labor, aud inexperienced in priVation,
find that the same stroke which deprlveS
them of parent, husband, Or only son also
reduces them to extreme poverty. The
widows must take boarders the daugh-
tiers must seek employment as teachers /;
the sous must beg for subordinate posi-
lions in stores or workshops, or emIgrate
to the Far West. Too often, even these
resources cannot he obtained, or prove
unfruitful generally the want OF expert
ence is fatal, at least for a time, 10 sue
cess in either of them. Debt soon comes
to aggravate destllution and it is we'll
even if good principles and good habits
are not soon worn away in the depress-
ing struggle. Self-respeCt is seldom
preserved the destitute must solicit aid
from friends, and this is bat a euphemism
for beggary. The misery thus caused is
incaIcuIable. Poverty is not so great a
hardship 10 those who have always been
poor; the hand indurated by constant
work does not blister. But the poverty
which comes suddenly after ease and
afiuence, not only blisters, bat eats deep
" into the flesh. 1t is a chronic smart,
which too often gradually wears away
The health of both body and mind.
Common observation will satisfy any
one that this picture is not overdfawn,
and that it does not represent an untre-
uuent occurrence. Ii 1t were the only
merit of Life Insurance that 1t furnishes
a means, the only sure means, OF ooVlat-
ing these distressing calamItles, the lnstl-
tuition might we'll be regarded as one OF
the most efficient "charities" which hu-
man benevolence has ever devised. But
this is only its direct result; the lndl-
rect influence upon the habits of the
people is a matter Of at least equal mo-
ment. 1t not only encourages frugality,
but makes frugality a habit, and emoves
from it the faint of seItlshness 1t not
only renders men provldent, but 1t shares
though in a humble degree, with religion
in extending this providence to a period
bevond the life of the individual. we
claim for the institution, therefore, a high
place in the regards of the truly beneVo-
fent-of those who are the most anxious
to try all feasible means of diminishing
the amount of sin and misery in the
community. We claim for it even a
higher place there than is universally
accorded to Savings Banks, Model Lodg-

RAISING AN IRON BLOCK OF
BUILDINGS.

The largest job of building raising ever
effected has just been completed in this
city by Messrs, IIoillngsworth & Cough
lin, in the elevation of the Robbins iron
block, corner of Wells and South Water
streets, to grade, aheight Of twcnty-seyen
and a half inches. This block is very
soIidly constructed, of iron and heavy
masonry; is five stories in height, eighty
feet in width, and one hundred and fifty
in depth, and with the immense stock OF
merchandise it contains, is calculated to
weigh at least twenty-SeVen thousand
tons. In addition to this mountain
weight, the stone sidewalks, two hundred
and thirty feet in length, have been raised
with the building, and the whole has
been done without the slightest crack or
damage, and so quietly that there has
never been apparent any evidence that Its
foundation consisted of iackscreWs and
not Of solid stone and bricks. To effect
this truly Herculean task, the contractors
have employed 70 less than one thousand
five hundred and eighty iack-screWs and
four hundred thousand feet of lumber,
and with these appliance have done 1t all
in the short space of twenty-0ne days
from the time when they first got posses
sion on the premises. This positively
wonderful feat we'll establishes the conf
dence hitherto felt by the property own
ers and builders of Chicago in the ability
Of Messrs. Hollingsworth g. Coughlin, to
move anything movable and its success
has already brought them offers to make
a trip to Paris, France, for the moving OF
some heavy books Of buildings there
which European mechanics frankly con-
fess to be beyond their power. 1t has Of
ten been said that American mechanics
ONLY wish 70 know what is to be done,
and they will find a means for doing it,
but a stronger eXempliication OF this has
never been offered than in the present
instance, and after this the story of the
man who event back and draWed the cell
lar too can scarcely be deemed lmproba-
ble..
1t may not be out of place to say, as
showing the confidence reposed in the
contractors, that the architect Of the work
j. M. Van Osdel, Esq.-than whom
there is not a more particular man in the
business, has only visited the scene three
times since the commencement OF the
work,-Chicago paper.
An immense iron block, located on the
corner of Wells and South Water streets,

of New York, eighty by one hundred and

has lust been raised twenty-seven inches,

least interrupting the business of the oc-

The New York Leader thus relates an
exploit of Mr.. Hind, the actor:
He was playing in piece, somewhere
out West, where brigand, confined in
prison, files off his letters with tool sup
piled to him by an accomplice; climbs to
the top of a wall. oats r---- is5 v,~A, au0
ia .i.olr snot by three dreadful soldiers
who rush in just when his escape seems
certain.
This scene is very exciting. As the
brigand works at his fetters, the audience
begin to sympathize with him, and when
he gets them off and painfully mounts the
wall, they think it pity that he should
not secure his liberty when he has SO
nearly attained it.
One night Hind was appearing, as
said, in this part He filed his fetters to
slow music. He climbed the wall. He
threw one leg over it. Then he waited
for the soldiers to shoot him, as any res
pectable brigand would have done under
the circumstances. m
The soldiers rushed out, aimed their
muskets at the ceiling, as soldiers usually
d., and pulled the triggers, but the guns
would not fire.
Hind sat patiently until the -prompter
had supplied the soldiers with another set
of guns. But it was of no use. The
guns would not shoot. A third set were
procured. but with no better result. The
prompter's boy had neglected to load the
muskets.
Hind like our Adams, decide that some-
thing must be done. Paying no further
attention to the soldiers, he stiffened him.
SELF fell heavily from the wall, rolled over
to the foot-lghts, raised himself upon his
elbow, stared at the audience, choked q
little, and exclaimed:
Good heavens have swallowed the
file !" 400
After this sublime exclamation, all that
remained for him to do was to give the
usual kicks and lurches, die in the good,
old, legitimate style, and SO end the piece,
and receive the congratulations of his
friends. m
/ never look at Hind without thinking
of this story. 1t ought to have made
him immortal. An actor who could fur
nish such finale is capable of any
thing.
