swindled by the suppOsititious com
panies, located at remote parts of the
country, and ostensibIy having fabu-
lous amount of capital. And how IS

greater than ever, though It viii be
an injury rather than a benefit to the

The truth is, all companies. both
home and foreign, ought to be made to
comply with the existing law. The
public will then have correct knowl-
edge Of the exact financial condition
of every company, which in view Of a
possible money crash, would be inval-
liable. The people can far better af-
ford to pay the extra expense for in
suranee caused by publishing sworn
statements than to bear the losses
otherwise likely to occur through the
deceptious representations of sharp
ers. Nor is it at all likely, in view oi
the competition In advertising, thai
the rates of insurance would be at ali
diminished by the repeal of the pres
ent law. We insist therefore that Il
shall not only be repealed but that il
shall be extended equally to all com
panies, both home and foreign.

Mr. Martin, of the State Senate, is
eadeavoring to press a bill through
the Legislature repeating the law re-
quiring foreign insurance companies
to publish annual statements of their
assets and liabilities in all counties
where they have agencies established.
Mr. Martin is himself the agent of
two foreign companies, yet he attacks
the press for opposing his measure on
the ground of its interested motives p!
OF course, Mr.. Martin is entirely dis
interested But seriously we do not
believe it is for the greatest pecuniary
interest of the press to have the law
remain as it is. IF it is repealed the
wildcat companies both IN and out of
the State will aim to out-advertise the
old aud reliable companies hoping by
that means to win the greatest amount
Of public favor. OF course, being no
longer required to give sa0o1as and a,t-
thenticated statements of their assets

RECORszRUCzroN

All Teconstruction measures yet pro
posed in Congress as substitute for
the Constitutional Amendment have
failed to awaken the enthusiastic sup
port Of that body or of the people,
The bill framed by Thaddeus Stevens,
which seemed to have the greatest
chances Of success, is now, as it is
said, abandoned by It's author and is
likely to be dropped entirely. Mr..
Ashley frantically threatens to force
through a measure of his own, if this
one fails, which, If one may judge by
the manner in which It is proposed,
would be just about as rational and
practicable as his impeachment meas
ures. The truth Is Congress seems to
be more unsettled now upon the sub
iect of reconstruction than it was at
the beginning of the session, In at

otherwise modified, and in either case
let the second be so changed as to pro-
hibit any State from denying suffrage
to its citizens on account of race or
color. By these changes ne believe
the Constitutional Amendment might
be made acceptable to the South and
at the same time not an iota of princi-
pie be sacrificed or the national safety
be In the least jeopardized. Every
loyal citizens will have the privilege Of
voting and holding Office in the States
as well as every disloyaI citizen. while
every leader Of the rebellion will be
prohibited from holding Office under
the United States government. This
satisfies the national honor and Sc

Many of the victimized ticket-holders
now threaten to take revenge on Crosby
by bringing an action against him for
violating the State law against lotteries.
They deserve no more sympathy than
Crosby himself did, and he was not
worthy of half so much as an honest
merchant, an enterprising manufac-
turer, or a hard-working mechanic,
broken down by misfortune in bust
ness, would have been. 1t is to be
hoped that without farther experience
in swindles of this kind people will
learn that it is better to expend their
sympathy and spare cash in helping
the destitute widow and orphan, than
in restoring amilhonaire whisky dealer
to his lost fortune. But if experience
will not teach popular discretion, the
law had better step in and prevent the
masses from gambling their money
away in gigantic lottery schemes and
hare-brained races over the Atlantic
This sort of indulgence is having a de-
moraliziDg effect upon the whole coun-

to general decentralization idleness,

FIRE INsURANoE.-A gentleman

business said to US the other day l
can take the register Of losses, Of any
fire insurance company long enough

We have been told by several gentle
men of long experience in this bust

ial arrangement or stagnation IN trade,
when largely-accamulated stocks OF
goods await tardy purchasers. when a
falling market threatens loss to the

or when manufacturer cannot turn out
his wares at a profit, then are fires ire

There has recently been published a

feet upon the official integrity Of that

ment and Mr.. Ashley's two brothers
were of course furnished with the
stipulated soft places" Whether
the fortune" mentioned by the conf
ding James has yet been realized does
not yet appear.
Well, we presume Mr.. Ashley'i
cons stituents will not censure him sew
erely for the pardonable nepotisn
which led him to secure good places
for his relatives, provided those rela
tives, filed their positions acceptabl!
to the government. But, concerning
the proposition to use his official posi-
ton as Chairman of the Territorial
Committee to his own private ends
we confess there is room for grave dis
cussion. It Is, at least, such a prop
osition as would have sounded yer.
strangely from the lips of Bomal
Senator but Mr.. Ashley is not aBo,

difference. In his little Impeachment

LRLPEACH1LENT

We have always deprecated any at
tempt to impeach the President for
any Of his known offences, as rash,
foolish, aud uncalled for measure. and
the further Mr.. Ashley's 'investiga-
ton" proceeds the more We are con
vinced of being right. Had any mem
Der of Congress been aware Of any
secret malfeasances of the President,
or any conduct upon his part, not
known to the public, justifying i'm
peachment, there would have been
propriety in appointing a committee
to ivestigate his conduct and report
whether the alleged grounds Of i'm
peachment were valid. OF such a
committee under such conditions we
were in favor. But the Ashley inves-
tigation ostensibly aimed directly at
impeachment and set about preparing
to accomplish that end. As yet it
cannot be ascertained that any fact
has been developed, new to the public.
1t seems likely that the measure viii
simply fail and bring ridicule upon
the individuals who have undertaken
it. And we believe it is better for
the country that it should. Even
though there may be good grounds
for impeachment, it would be better
to circumscribe the Presidents power
for mischief than attempt at such a
time as this to remove him from Of
fee. Such an attempt may furnish a
dangerous precedent for the Demo
cratic party should it ever get into
power, and we believe nothing would
help it into power faster than a seri-
GUS attempt at impeachment. 1t would
also have a most dangerous effect up
on the deranged finances of the coun-
try. In short we see no possible good
to be accomplished by it, and appre-
hend a great deal ofeviI to result from
it. There Is vastly more important
business for Congress to attend to, and
which if properly attended to viii oc-
eupy all its time. Let US have prac-
tical, common sense legislation and no
more attempts at desperate or impos-
sible measures. 1t is the most insane
folly to trifle with our time and oppor-
tunities simply because the power
happens to be in our hands. Let us
be careful by a wise and just course
to avoid ieopardizing it by rash and
/ unnecessary conduct.

RESTORED REBELS,-The test oath

rendered, declares that the pardon OF

The Chairman of the National Dem

decided to call a National Convention.
used the following language
For reasons which it is not difficult
to understand, the Philadelphia move
ment failed to achieve that success
which 1t first promised, and which
promises seemed sufficient to Justify
the experiment then made. We do
not believe it expedient to repeat that
effort under existing circumstances. in
the next great battle. This fall the
Democratic party must march under
its own cOlors."
The COpperhead party may improve
morally by cutting loose from the de-
bris of other parties which has drifted
into it, but it is difficult to see how by
such a course it can gain numerically.
IF it could not win with the assistance
of its conservative allies much more
will it fail without it. The people
have no more stomach for Copper
headism pure and simple than they
have for it diluted with bread and but
terism.
