JNSURANCE and FIRES.

The first annual meeting of the National
Board of Fire Insurance is IN session III thlS
city. Then action thus far chiefly dIscloSes
the fact that the losses Of the fire companies
have been enormous within the past few years,
and especially within the past year. The ex-
traordinary fact is stated by Mr.. Boxer of
Boston that, during the past year, OF the
eighty-three companies reporting in Massachu-
setts, the losses were S5,OOOOOO above the en-
tire receipts of those companies. Yet their
capital is but $4,s5O0OO. This statement seems
incredible, for it shows the capital stock OF the
companies to have been more than exhausted
in one years operations. We feel almost
inclined to believe there must be some
mistake in these figures. But il they
are correct, we do not wonder that the
insurance companies are thrown into fright
and find it necessary to combine their forces
to devise plan of saving themselves from in
evitabIe bankruptcy, into which another years
experience like the last would seem to be sure
to plunge them. 1t is not surprising to find
the Executive Committee declaring that " the
"insurance interest is now passing through a
"perilous crisisr We think, il these confess
sions are true of all the companies, or anything
near true, that not only the interests of the in
surers are in "perilOus crisis but the inter
ests of the insured are in "perilous crisis"
also. The question we often see posted, =" Are
"you insuredPn becomes doubly interesting in
view of the facts here disclosed. 1t is not only
question of are you insured, but are You In
sured in an office out of which the bottom has
fallen9
1t seems that the subjects which most interest
the companies, and to which they propose to
confine their present discussions, are an ad-
vance of rates. uniformity of rates, and the
prevention of fires. This last-named object is
one deserving of the most attentive consdera-
ton, and the one above all others which has a
universal and abiding interest. There is no
people under heaven that burn up their sub
stance like the Americans. We judge that all
California has been burnt up at least half
dozen times since 1S4S; and we never heard
any other commentary upon a destructive IRE
anywhere than that it disclosed remarkable
energy in the public at rebuilding. This
is a sufficient solace for all their burns.
The idea of its suggesting the pro-
priety of erecting cities and towns with in
combustible substances, is quite too slow for
the American mind. And yet it is what we
must come to sooner or later, and the sooner
the better If the insurance companies, by
raising their rates to some awful hight, can
enforce upon the public the economic advan-
tages of doing this, after the manner OF the
old countries in Europe, where such frequent
fires as we have are totally unknown, they will
not have lived nor held their annual convention
! in vain. The sound of fire-bell in an old
! stone-built town in Europe is heard about as
| often as the shock of an earthquake, and oc-
| casions about an equal amount of surprise.

HOMEOPATHY AND THE BOARD or
HEdLTH

Last April the Homeopathic Medical socie-
ties of the Metropolitan District made the very
modest request of the Board of Health that
they should be allowed to take charge of one
cholera hospital in each County of the District.
To this they received no reply, but were in
formed by the newspapers that it was proposed
to grant them parts of two hospitals. In May,
they again addressed the Board, stating the i'm
prachbility of Homeopathic physicians prac-
ticing in Allopathic hospitals, but could get no
attention. In June they made personal apph-
cation 10 the Chairman Of the Sanitary Com
mittee of the Board, and were informed
that separate hospital for the treatment OF
cholera could not be granted for these reasons:
"That Homeopathic physicians, as class,
"were not rs well educated and trained in
"the laws of diagnosis and pathology, and,
therefore. needed close watching and super
vision lest they should, through ignorance or
"otherwse, make false returns, and, for IN
"stance, report cases IA cured OF cholera
(Which had never been cholera. Second,
because many OF our number were III
"thc habit of prescribing drugs and
doses non Homeopathic, and any good
"results accruing therefrom would thus be
falsely credited to Homeopathy" To this
the Homeopathic Committees replied that no
physician of their school possessed of any self
respect could be induced to accept an offer
which at the outset impugned his intelligence
and integrity. There the matter rested and
the Board of Health, as far rs we know, has
taken no further action upon the subject.
Without desiring to enter into any discussion
as to the merits of the two systems in the
treatment of cholera, we must say that we
consider the application of the HOmeOpaths
for the full control of a few hospitals was not
only Just, but sngularly modest, and that the
Sanitary Committee of the Board of Health did
the public wrong i'll rejecting it. Personal
opinion has nothing to do with the matter;
we may believe Homeopathy or Allopathy, or
both, to be false in theory, or useless in cholera,
but the Board of Health should not be the
organ of any medical school. The mere eXclu
sion of Homeopathy from the cholera hospitals
is but n result of the original injustice of
o. ganizing the Board of Health upon an Allo-
pathic basis TO us it appears that respec-
table medical school, not merely local, but
having recognized position in every civilized
country, cannot be held TO be empiric and
should have its fair claims acknowledged.
Homeopathic physicians are the trusted
advisers of very large number of
the people of New-Y York, and for that rea-
son should have representation in the Board of
Health Nor should it be forgotten that the
probability of another visitation of cholera
next Summer makes it the duty of the non
medical members of tho Board to test all
legitimate means of curing and preventing the
disease.

The Liberal party, a Cable dispatch says,
have been successful in all Northern Germany,
as they were previously reported to have been
in Berlin and in Prussia As in the non -Prus-
sian countries, the issue was not so much be-
tween Conservatives and Liberals as between
the friends and the opponents of thorough cen
tralizatiOn of the executive power in the hands
of Prussia. We receive as yet no clear account
of the result of the election in the minor cOun-
tries; only as regards the Kingdom of Saxony
we are distinctly informed that all the anti
PIussian candidates have been elected.
New-York tribune., 1867-02-21

Yesterday in Committee Of the Whole the
House again considered tho Tax bill. The cf-
feet of an amendment offered by Mr.. Williams
would be to terminate, on the 3Oth of April next,
the right of railway and steamboat companies
TO add the tax to their fares. The amend
ment created unlooked-fOr confusion among
the railroad members, and was rejected
very wrongly so. The House finally voted to
take off the stamp duty from receipts and GER
tain defined legal documents. 1t is thus wrong
at both ends 1t is wrong to allow the rail-
way companies to impose needless tax of
their own on the public, and it is no better to
take oil another tax the continued imposition
