Insurance Companies and tile Jews.

Certain of the Northern Insurance Com
panies having given directions to their
agents to take no more risks Oh the prop
erty Of Jews, the Israehtes Of the whole
country are rising up in defiant indigna-
ton at this cruel and unproyoked discrimi-
nation. In Richmond the SANDER has been
met by an outpouring of the people. and a
mass of testimony has been elected in their
behalf of which the proudest people on
earth might well be proud of. Without
regard to religious differences, the most in
huential citizens of that city have Volunta-
rily nailed the vile calumny to the counter,
and this imputation has reused up peo-
pie who have withstood for centuries q
senseless and merciless persecution which
would have annihilated q less determined
and courageous people.
In Cincinnati, New York, Mobile and
against the SANDER, and the sympathies of
the entire community are with them; and
the whole affair will certainly end in loss
to the Insurance Companies and no dam
age to the character of class of citizens
who stand deservedly high. As business
men, none have better character or are
more respected than the Israelites, and we
venture the assertion that our Criminal
Courts are freer from the record of crimes
committed by these people than any other
in the community. Why this unprovoked
attack we cannot tell, and we hope it will
be met everywhere as it has been in the
cities mentioned. Men in their corporate
capacities, because they can in that man
ner escape personal responsibility, have no
right to issue wholesale ISLANDERS against a
class of people who have, as business men
and citizens, universally been held in high
estimation.

There have been many sensational re-
ports sent out by telegraph from Washing
ton City relative to the release of Mr.. Davis,
and for long and weary months past the
prospect Of all early trial or release has been
held out to linn, but they have always
ended III disappointment. But the excrtions
lately made Ill favor of justice, by Mr..
Wilson IN the United States Seuate, seem
more likely to prove reliable and of ben
sficial result. There can hardly be any
one in this country, be he friend or foe of
Mr.. Davis, but must feel more or less in

ton That his trial has been unjustly de-
ferred, and that his detention has been un-
necessarily long and cruel, all will admit

& state fully in regard to this natter
The charges contained III these questions
are serious ones, and not easily answered
or set aside. They imply much that is OF
interest to the American mind, and i'm
peach the honor and integrity of some of
the highest judicial authorities in the land.
Fhey make and sustain the assertion of

great body of justice itself.

eff we had only the advantage of all the
" testimony, Mr.. Speaker, we might then
" have been able, with the testimony of
" witnesses fresh in mind, to find who, i'll
" decd, were all the accompliccs OF Booth.
When will this mystery be cleared up?
Aud when will the suppressed evidence be
forced from its concealment, for the vindi-
cation Of truth and Justice? And when
will the reasons for that suppression be full
ly explained That the little light thrown
upon the subject by the dispute III Con
cress has revealed undcrhand dealings in
high quarters, all must admit; but as to who
the futur,, revelations will convict az cX-
culpate, the dark womb OF The future cnn

One question, at lcast, is a natural ono at

purpose Of bcnefting some officers high in
the Federal State, or was it to criminate an
innocent victim, the lone prisoner OF For
trees Monroe?
