The Benefits of Life Insurance.

The subject of life insurance needs only to be
understood to command the attention of
people of all classes and conditions in life.
Although it is rapidly gaining ground, the
masses of the people, unfortunately for them
selves, have not as yet participated in its ad-
vantages to any considerable extent. Without
doubt, this arises in some measure from the
fact that it generally requires more time and
trouble to persuade a working man to take
out policy for $500 than it does to obtain
from merchant or capitalist an insurance of
$40, 900 or 100000 As large assurances pay
the agents of the different companies much
better than small ones, they very naturally
neglect the latter for the sake of securing the
former.
As every man and woman must die, policy
upon the life of any one is a positive agree
ment to pay the amount provided for. The
whole system is based upon natural laws;
while, ON the contrary, fire and marine in
surance is founded on calculation Of chances,
on contingency which may never happen.
The one is uncertain, the other is certain. The
''expectaton'' of life, or its average duration,
at any and every age, is determined with
almost mathematical certainty; and when the
business is conducted upon scientific princi-
ples, and the funds invested in such secure
manner as the law requires in all cases of trust
funds, no other financial transaction can be
safer or surer. Nor is there any way in which
small sums can be invested with so much ad-
vantage. A life-insurance company is the
best proyident institution or savings bank
that was ever devised. The merest pittance
can thus be made available to those who are
dependent upon one for support; and
when a man with large family,
and salary so moderate that it barely suffces
for making both ends meet at the end of the
year. is suddenly called to the other world in
the very prime of life, the pittance thus in
vested will realize his loved ones hundred,
aye, even thousand fold. The laboring man,
clerk, OF small merchant who is an habitua
smoker or who INDUCES in the more repre-
hensible practice of 'chewing," by denying
himself these doubtful luxuries, can secure
with the money thus saved policy on his
life, the proceeds Of which will rear barrie
between his wife and little ones and thu
troubles and suferings which fall to the lot o
those who are at once fatherless and penniless
II is then that the smallest sum is Godsend
and with the smallest sum hunger can b
driven from the door and anguish from tn
heart. For $500 or $1,000 widow can stock
small store; can furnish clearinghouse

The Reform Movement and the English
(sOVerum

THF speech made by Mr.. DsraeG in the
House of Commons upon the reform question,
and the resolutions introduced by him in
behalf of the Government yesterday, indicate
with sufficient clearness the irreconcilable an
tagonism which separates the governing classes
and the masses of the people of Great Britain.
The third of these resolutions afirms 'that
while it is desirable that more direct repre-
sentation should be given to the laboring class,
1t is contrary to the Constitution of this realm to
give to any one class or interest predominatin
po,oer orer the rest Of the community"
Mr.. Disraeli elaborated this idea in his
speech at length, winding up with the asser-
tion that in any measures which the Govern
ment might bring forward, they should assert
'rhat the eIectiOe franchise must be regarded as
popular priUilege and not as a democratic right"
The long and short of this is, that the Eng
lish Government is a Government of ''classes, -
and not of the people, and that the ruling
classes are determined to hold on to their
power as long as possible. They rightly Judge
that the extension of the elective franchise to
the masses of the people would eventually
change the existing order of things, and revo-
lutionize the present English Constitution.
We'd not wonder that John Bright and the
masses look upon these resolutions as an Sin
| suit" and totally inadequate to the necessi-
ties and just demands OF the English people.
The agitation must go on. 1t is not impossible
that the governing classes may hold on to
their unjust power until the strong hand of
revolution sweeps them aside 1t is certain
that no such hating and halfway scheme as
Mr.. Disraeli has put forth will satisfy the
people

WE are glad to see that Hon J. d. Defrees is
likely to be elected by the Senate TO the new
Office of Congressional Printer-an Office which,
by law just passed, supersedes that of Super
intendent of Public Printing. Mr. Defrees, under
the appointment of President Lincoln, filled
this latter Office for some time, and conducted
that department of the public business with
such fidelity and discretion as to secure a
large annual saving in expense to the Govern
ment He was finally removed on political
grounds, to make room for Mr.. Cornelius
Wendell, who has held the position down to
the present time. The law just passed makes
the Congressional Printer an officer of the
Senate, to be elected by that body. We shall
be glad to see Mr.. Defrees again in a position
which he is so admirably fitted to fill.

Lie insurance companies on the joint-stbck
principle have existed in Europe for over a
century, and one such has been in aotive ope-
ration in this city for more than fifty years
But the strictly mutual companies did not come
into existence in the United States until about
twenty-five years ago. Since then their
success has far surpassed the most sanguine
expectations. Moreover, during that period,
so many valuable improvements in the terms
of payment and in the kinds of insurance have
been developed, that nothing further would
now seem necessary.
The various kinds of policies now in use are
thus enumerated:-1. 'The ordinary whole
life policy" upon which the premiums are
paid during the life of the insured. or until
the dividends are equal to the premiums,
which is the case in some Companies 2.
"Whole-life policies upon the five and ten-year
plan of payment" In these the premiums
are all paid within five and ten years; and
after the lapse of that period a cash income is
secured during the remaining years of life, and
the amount of the insurance at death. 3.
"Ordinary endowment policies" upon which
the premium is payable until the endowment
falls DUE or until death, if it should occur be-
fore the time specified. 4. Endowment
Hxyo md fn, ,NIo Of
payment" An endowment policy is a double
contract. The insurance is payable at fixed
time-say at fifty, fifty y-fve or sixty years of
age-or at death, if it sooner occur. Such a
policy adds to the advantages of an Ordinary
whole-life policy security against misfortune
in the later years of life.
Policies for large or small amounts are
granted to all applicants in good health, and
the same kind of insurance is sold upon the
same terms to all. At twenty-five years of
age an ordinary life insurance for $500 will
cost less that twenty cents per week; at
thirty, it will cost less than twenty-three cents
per week. at thirty live, twenty-six and a half
cents per week; and at forty, less than thirty
cents per week; while larger or smaller
amounts can be obtained in precisely the same
proportion. The payment of the premiums
varies according to the company some re-
quiring the whole amount in cash. others ac-
cepting a portion of it in credit.
Such is a brief exposition of the leading
principles of life insurance, and of the benefits
arising therefrom. To commend the subject
to the thoughtful attention of every man and
woman upon whom there are others depen-
dent for support, is our earnest and impartial
desire. 1t only remains to be said that a
policy of life insurance is effectually secured
against debts and obligations of every desorip-
ton whatsoever which may be left unsatisfed
by the person upon whose life the insurance
is taken, when the policy is granted in the
name of the person or persons for whose bene-
! fit it is to accrue.

Virginia Election.

The election under the reconstruction
law in Virginia last week resulted in a
handsome radical Union victory, the
Union party carrying the State by some
10000 majority, and will have from Is to
20 majority in the convention to form a
State Constitution. Both parties did their
best, and the result shows a minority suf-
ficienily large to prevent any overaciion
by the radical majority. The copperhead
democracy and rebels are very naturally
much chagrined at the result, and their
hopes have fallen heavily, Virginia be-
ing one of the most important of the reb-
ell States.
West Virginia had an election last week
for minor offices and seems to have gone
very much after the style OF Ohio and
Pennsylvania on q light vote.

SENATOR SUMNER.-The Springfield
Republican has the following: The papers
are beginning to print the gossip and
scandal, that has been afloat in private
circles for some weeks, concerning Sena-
tor Sumner and his wife. The most that
can be said is, that they have become es-
tranged within year of their marriage,
and that she has left him, and, as we men,
toned at the time, gone to Europe, alone.
The causes are too delicate and personal
to speculate upon; that most mentioned is
a filtration between her and an att ache OF
the Prussian legation at Washington, so
marked as to attract general attention in
society, and justify annoyance on the part
of the Senator, and interrupted by a
sudden and peremptory recall of the Prus-
tan by Bismarck, per the Atlantic cable /;
but we are sure there is nothing in all the
circumstances of this sad termination to
what promised to be most fortunate and
happy relation for our distinguished sena-
tor, to abate The public respect for him as
a statesman or the deep affection of his
wide circle of friends for him as a man.
