President Lincoln Gao; but in 1866 gave her
Secretary of State, General Francis @. Barlow
a majority of 27,857 over General Henry W.
Slocum, the most popular and disting uished
candidate the Democrats could bring into the
field. OF her present ConPressmen, twelve only
out OF thlrty-one are Democrats or conserya-
tives. The dominant radical strength VIII be
retained If not perceptibly increased In
scarcely one of the districts Is there likelihood
of substantial loss, while in the Tenth. Eleventh,
Thirteenth, and Thirtieth there are obvious and
striking chances.
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, and Ne
vada will doubtless return entire radical dele
cations to Congress. In New jersey the Un1On-
lists expect to fill the places OF the Hon. A. J..
Rogers IVth District) and the Hon. +. v.
Wright win with sterling men, such as the
Hon. John Hill and the Hon. George A. Hasey,
and have good promise OF success. The ~ lIIU
District, which Mr.. John Davidson (Repuhncau)
contests with Mr.. Charles Sitgreaves 0he pre-
sent member) is almost equally hopeful, owing
to the great growth In New ersey senument
and the splendid canvass beng maue oy tue
radical candidate. The complexion OF new
Jersey in Congress is likely to be altered gain
of one or more Congressman. AT present three
out of five of her Congressman are Copperheads.
Illinois will re-elect her entire number OF radi-
cal Representatives esovSnfb Snf D Dstcfa CGntesI her
with her Copperhead opponents. Her present
radical strength is ten out OF fourteen. Wis
consin, as heretofore, is good for five at least
of her SIX Congressmen, and we expect that
anv possible loss in either of the States of
Missouri Maryland, and Delaware will be more
than balanced at the general summing-up of
the years campaign for Senators and Repre-.
senatives. Missouri promises to hold her own
galantly; Maryland, contending against the
treachery of her Governor, may, by the moral
treason of her enemies, lose a member; but
every days report must reassure the half
hearted as well as loyal of all the States which
are in any fraction doubtful, that the mind of
the North is made up and that its fat, however
gainsayed, will be in the end irresistible.

that have no personal interest in the commu-
nication l offer you, and that my sole OBJECT Is
to commend an actot blended justice and bene-
Violence which this day came under nv ObSer-
Yation in this city.
But to the subject-matter. Prior to the break
ing out of the war well-knowu citizen of Mo-
bile had insured mis- life for a series of years in
the KnickeIbocker Life Insurance Company, of
New York, then and now having an agency in
Mobile. He had renewed his premium from time
to time, but his last renewal expired in March,
1862, at a time when the Company had no acting
agent in Mobile, and, owing to total absence
of communication between the Company in New
York and the party insuring, no renewal of the
policy was made, nor any premium paid after
that date,
Some seven months thereafter, the gentleman
in question died, leaving widow and four chill
0ren similarly circums tanced with most of us
in these days OF wrecked fortunes and pecuniary
distress; but upon recent application on the
part of the widow and guardian of the children
to that estimable gentleman, Erastus Lyman
Esq., of New York, President of the Company,
ana mis- Board OF Directors suggesting the fact
that the deceased husband and father lowing 10
an absence OF communlcation) could not have
renewed the policy which he had previously
renewed from year to year, and but for this fact
would doubtless have renewed again, Mr.
Lyman, on behalf of the Company, forwarded
of the policy Tive thousand dOllars) less the
premium due March, 1862.
On learning these facts l obtained copy tof

ceipt of the funds, aud hand you the same here.

r BALL-PLAYING NUlsANoE.-People in
our city have been much annoyed since the
baseball mania has worked such mischief in
the minds of our youth, By the playing of ball
on our most frequented streets. Passers-by
have frequer tlY been struck, and otherwise au.
moved, by the practice of throwing balls across
streets, and IN other directions, by boys prae-
tising CATCH In fact il became such a nui-
sance that the police authorities have had their
attention called to 1t, and a number OF arrests
we're made of those indulging in the pernicious
amusement. Two young men were arrested at
Fifteenth and South streets, yesterday, and were
held by Alderman Patched in $500 bail to an
sWer.
