proposed during the present year. The amount of Declined Lives alone
is GI8997 Is. I'd.
IT, therefore, the result of the total five years, ending in the year
1869, were to have a corresponding increase with the previous periods
of five years each, the amount of business that would be effected in the
qunquennial period now running would be more than has ever been on
record in any insurance. Establishment in this country"
Without reckoning, however, on a continuance of business at the
same proporionate increase, which it would be unwse to do, there is
sufficient in the present position of the new business to report that it is
maintained on a par uWA the largest Offices Of the United Kingdom.
The Directors likewise have to report that
THE LIFE AND ANNUITY FUNDS HAVE INCREASED BY THE SUM OF
GIO3,246 Is. 3d.,
and as the Actuary considers that these annual accumulatons will pos
sbly proceed rather at an increasing than a diminishing ratio for some
years, even if the amount of new Annual Policies continue for the future
only the same a in the past year, tt is highly probable that the estimate
in his last Actuarial Report of a total increase of at least One Million
sterling to these Funds in the following ten years, will be fully realised.
A further important testimony, however is giving that the "RoYAL"
has not even yet arrived at the zenith of its favour with the public, by
the fact that

SOUTHERN PRESS ASSOCIATION.

It is in contemplation, we learn, to revive this
association at an early day. There is to be n
meeting in Atlanta, Oh tho third Wednesday in
April, which will take this rGatter into considera-
ton. Some reform OF improvement is desirable !;
almost any change will be for the better. The
Associated Press, on whose agents we are at pros
ent dependent for our tecgraphic reports of news,
is a gigantic monopoly both niggardly and care
less in its management, and apparently determined
to reimburse isolf at the expense of the Southern
press for the great outlay they we're compelled to
make in order to drive their rival MIR. Craig, from
the field. The dispatches Of late havo not only
been extremely mcagre, but often quite unintelli-
gible. Tho agents at Washington and other points
arc either culpabc Of gross neglect or olse other
wise untitled for their positions.
4 well organized effort at separation from the
old concern, we lavo no doubt will carry the whole
Southern press.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. IN THE YVES.
INDIES.

-
There is no subject of more immediate interest
to this State than it's supply oflabor. But it is
one upon which we need information before we can
have udicious action because the question is com
pcated in our case, by the fact that the different
sections of the State require different kinds OF
laborers. AS far as the up-country is concerned,
the question will settle itself, althoughits solution
may be hastened by concert Of action among the
landowners, and by judicious legislation. With a
healthy and delicious climate, a soil where basis
Of red clay makes with the proper manure, sure
foundation for the culture Of the grasses and
grains, capable Of large development by means of
the grasses, into stock-raising country. With
hardy population accustomed to work, and holding
as general rule, small farms, the moment atten-
ton is directed to it's advantages and facilities af
forded for reaching it, we have little doubt but
that it will attract capital and enterprise. Even
now the cheapness Of the lands and the fact
unfortunate in ITSELF we admit), that much
of the property in these sections must be sold,
make it worth the consideration Of many sf the
low country planters, whose capital has been re-
duced by the war, who are unwilling to encounter
the difficulties and the enormous expense which at
present attend all agricultural enterprise on the
coast, and whose remaining means would secure
homes always healthy, and where judicious work
would guarantee independence, if not wealth. But
our chief difficulty will be in the low couuiry-a
great deal of the labor Of the country has been
drawn away by the high wages offered in the West.
The system Of ten acre grants has very much de-
moralized the native labor, and the malaria of the
climate seems to present insuperable obstacles to
en- immigration Of white labor. We do not pro-
pose to discuss this question now, as we hope to
return to it at some future time for the purpose Of
fuller illustration. But we would call attention to
the interesting debate in the British Parliament,
which wo publish this morning, on the subject OF
the Coolie immigratonn to theWest Indian islands.
Mr.. ADDERLY's official statements in regard TO its
conduct and its success are worth consideration,
and some of his remarks will be found to have
especial application to our own condition.

THE TROUBLES IN YORK DIsTR1GT

THE TROUBLES IN YORK DISTRICT.
We are indeed fejoiced to see that however
serious the apprehension, there was no positive
violence at the late session Of the Court Of Com
mon Pleas at Yorkville. All that really happened
appears to be that respectable committee OF the
citizens waited upon the presiding judge, and
communicated to him their fears that the people
would not permit the Court to proceed In the ad-
! Indication of civil issues Judge MUNRO did what
| all who know him might have been sure he would
.do-his duty, and the Court has proceeded to the
discharge of it's business. No language Of ours
can describe the injury to the character md the
highest interests Of the State justice is ever OBJ
structed by mob violence. 1t could afford no pos
sible present relief, and would create infinitely
eraver, private and public distress in the future
| But this incident should not be disregarded, and
| it proves the sharp and general distress which
! aflicts our whole community. The fact that the
| docket at Yorkville was crowded with summary
PROCESS casesand this is true, In some OF tho ad-
| Joining Districts-shows how unusual is the In
debtedness of the country, and how Inadequate the
| means to meet it. 4ps a5 =
Surely the present condition Of the State offers
trouble and perplexity enough to The people not
to need the aggrayation of an universal and ruin
ous sale of it's property. We understand that
even in this city the sale of real estate has been
Of lato made at unprecedented sacrifice. Wear
nethor lawyers nor judges, but it does seem to us
that it is vary desirable that sales should, posi-
bic, be delayed until return to something like
settled condition of interest and industry restores
fair value to real estate. This pressure Of suits
now is producing another evil which is doing in
Justice to creditors in general. In the country it is
becoming a practice, which is not to be
approved, that whenever u creditor persists
in suing, his debt is defeated by q con-
fesson of Judgment, which not only deprives him
out the bulk of the creditors Of tho benefit OF any
assets Now if, as we understand it, the new bank
rupt law gives the power Of making involuntary
bankruptcy, and of setting aside such confessions,
there will be no end to litigation. This proceed
ing at Yorkvie, ths resolutions at Newberry, and
other popular movements, show that our people
are learning that most dangerous lesson of distin-
gushing, or rather, we should say trying to dis
tinguisL between the moral and the legal obiga-
ton of just debt We think almost any remedy
that the art Of legal ingenuity can devise is letter
than such Generalization.

The Dundee (Scotland) Adue1iser says sIn the

WAS given by witness in reply to question. The
witness, who was an elderly man, was asked if he
knew q share'from q rabbit The man exhibited
some ap,azement, and did not appear to think the
lawyer wss in earnest. The question was then re-
peated, when the witness, with great composure,
quietly replied, DO ye ken horse fac q coo?
The reply, as may be imagined, excited great mer-
