Insurance Companies and IsraeIiIes.
A Misunderstanding which has arisen be-
tween portion Of the citizens of the Uni
ted States holding the Hebrew faith, and
the Germania, Manhattan, Republic and
some other insurance companies, Of New
York, has recently created some excitement
10 business circles. The matter, as stated
BY the New York 1iibans is as follows
" Il appears that the General Agent of the
companies mentioned, addressed a cifcular
TO the local agents Of the companies, stating
that. in consequence of recent numerous
heavy losses to the insurance companies,
occurring in The South and West, very
many Of which were on property belonging
70 Jews, the companies would be compelled
in future % decline all such risks, and that
this rule was unvarying. This attempt
ed prescription having been brought to
the notice of several gentlemen of that
creed in this city, a meeting was called at
the Jewish synagogue in Nineteenth
street, at which a large number of the
most wealthy and influential Israelites in
the city were present, among them Benia-
min l.. Nathan, William Seligman, Lana
rus May, - Rosenfelt, Isaac Phillips,
Judge Cardozo, b. l.. Solomans, Emanuel
b. Hart and Others A meeting of the
same sort is 20 be held in this city to-day
by citizens of the Israelitish faith. s-a
There is no doubt that insurance compa-
mics have been defrauded by jews but
there are dishonest insurers among other
classes. There is not sufficient evidence
that, as people, the Jews are very greatly
more unreliable in this respect than any
other class and il would seem to be unjust
that because some of the schemers among
them have been detected they should be
prescribed. They do large portion of the
business Of the country, that the general
good demands shonld receive the protec-
ton Of insurance, and this whole move
mentis ill-judged. Prescription generally
proves It's own signal defeat. The pro-
posal on the part Of these insurance COM
panies to eut off the Jews from the benefits
Of their policies will prove impolitie in the
end, without Doubt Races, religion, coun-
try, are three points in which insurance
companies are only partially interested. If
a man have a good business reputation, Is
prompt in his payments, just in his settle
ments, honest in his dealings with has en-
ployes and his patrons, he has every re-
quisite for 4 capable insurer Whatever may
be his religious creed, aud whether he trace
his lineage TO noble blood Of England OF TO
no less noble blood Of the Indian girl Po-
cahontaa. jew or Gentle, Catholic or
Protestant, &c can make little difference 10
