nately, while the revenue has been large, the
losees have been large also; and, in the payment
OF those losses, no less than n per cent OF the
premiums received have been absorbed. This
Is an enormous prOportion but it is due en-
trely TO the unusually large number of disas-
trous and destructive fires which occurred
during the year at home as well as abroad. The
Royal has undertaken no extravagant liabil1ty
ior it has so protected itself by "guarantees'
that the largest amount of loss on any one
strictly individual risk has been only little
more than 10000. This fact can scarcely fail
20 convince the shareholders and the public
that the Directors have been pursuing a CON
slstently cautious course; and that their
failure to secure favorable result, or to re-
alize the profits which had been earned in
previous years, must be attributed to q con-
currence OF adverse circumstances which no
human sagacity could either foresee or con-
troi. Many Of the leading companies en-
gage in the business of Fire Insurance
instead of having even small balance on
the right side of the accOunt-have sustained
actual loss; and II the Royal has been called
upon to pay away n per cent of its premiums,
1t has at least, the consolation Of showing
that this is less by 10 per cent. than the aver
age Of loss sustained by some other large
establishments, as admitted, not long ago, by
very high authority. To have passed. so much
more favorably than its competitors, through
an or0eal of almost unprecedented severity, is
IN itself matter for congratulation; but the
shareholders in the Royal have another rea-
son for applauding the policy OF f0rbearance
and self-deDial which the Directors have always
recommended and enforced. 1t is quite clear
that out of the profits of the past year only
very small dividend could have been declared;
and If the Company, in prosperous times, had,
divided all its earnings, the present shareholders
must have gone, for this year at least, with
very little return. But the Directors and
Manager have always urged that un-
interrupted prosperity was thing not to be
expected-that occasional seasons of adversely
must be regarded as inevitable-and that it
would, therefore, be wise and prudent, when
profits were large, to lay aside something sub
stantial by way of provision for possible
rainy day. To do the propretors justice, they
have always listened to this judcious advice,
and have acted upon it without hesitation. The
result is, that the Directors found themselves,
yesterday, in position to declare the usual
dividend out of the undivided profits of the
Fire Department, which are more than suffi-
cient for the purpose by upwards of $1,000.
The Reserve Fund, which approaches fll70OO,
remains absolutely intact; so that the company,
as the result of past prudence, can show an
available reserve OF flS0,000, without having
been obliged, in period OF difficulty and dsas'
ter, TO withhold anything from those WHO have
invested their capital in its shares LiOe,poo

The crowd finally became so dense that no fur

were sung.

ESPECIAL DEsPAToH TO EVENING rELBaaApHI
PITTsBURG, september 25.-When General
Negey, Chairman of the General Committee OF
Arrangements, called the Convention to order
at noon, the hail was densely Gro wded,. and
great confusion ensued in attempting TO seat
the different delegations in groups, when tae
roll was called
New Hampshire responded that she was where.
she had always been, by the side OF ~ ermont
and Indiana, and declared she was where she.
had always been, in the front.
Following this there was the widest enthu-
sasm. Cheer after cheer rent the air and shook
the Hall, AMI such cheers, for loud and hearty
earnestness, were never heard before, except on
the field OF battle.
Generals Cox, B1tIer, and Banks, and the
ladies of Pittsburg were the principal recipients
of this grand bathurst.
When General Butler entered the hall ne
received perfect ovation, which lasted till he
had bowed acknowledgements from the plat
form; and the proceedings were also inter
rupted by the singing OF "0ld Hundred" by
| a large choir of ladies. During all this uprOar
| and confusion, "0ld Abe" the stately eaole
which followed the fortunes OF the 9th WIscon-
| sin Volunteers during the war stood perched
| upon the platform, fiappmg his wings, and re-
| garding the proceedings with evident salts

General Negley finally requested the BOYS to
reserve little OF their enthusiasm Tor the
| evening.
After the opening prayer, Mr.. j. w. Pope of

BARBARoUs MURDER IN STAFFORD
Gustavus Limerick and his wife, aged
about sixty years each, were both muir
dered on Saturday night, near Walker
Boys old residence, about one and half
miles from Fredericksburg.
1t seems that the old man was enticed
a quarter of mile from his house, and
his body was found about 10 o'clock, Sun
day morning, with the right side of his
skull knocked off, A piece of plank,
with blood on it, was found near him.
His wife's charred remains, with the
skull indented, were found in the ashes
Of their house, which was burned that
night, The fire was seen, but was sup
posed to be burning brush, until daylight
showed that this house was gone. One
dog and chicken were also burnt up in the
house. A faithful dog remained with the
old mans body, and was discovered by
another dog, and their fighting attracted
attention.
1t is supposed these old people, who
were both misers and believed to have
specie, were murdered for their money -
A young man named Robinson, aged %,
and lately married, has been arrested,
charged with this horrible murder.
