gpHIS Society, which confines it's bust
~ ness exclusively to assuring the lives
OF persons resident in the West indies,
presents advantages snch as no other AS
surance Company, Iabouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale Of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate TO provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi-
Gent TO create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reyer>ionary Bonuses, averaging
p per cent per amman upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during a period of27 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhahiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
The following abridged Table shows
the Premiums required to assure 500,
for the whole term, upon a single life:-

public finances, they would each be on the
broad road to bankruptcy. To legislate
directly against the resumption of specie
payments is suicidal folly. This the House
has done, so far as it can do by resolution
expressing its opinion and directing the Ways
and Means Committee to lay the foundation
for an enactment. The bill which the
Committee is instructed to report will
postpoue indefinitely the policy which
alone can give us back solvency. MI
Grinuel proposes, and the House agrees,
to establish the reign of irredecmabe cur
rency forever; to perpetuate forever-chang-
ing difference between dollar in paper
and dollar in gold; TO unsettle for many
years the business of the country. Such legls-
lation as this is criminal ignorance OF the neces-
sites of the people; Speculation thriyes upon
it, but Industry starves.

The joint resolutions of the Wisconsin Legls-
lature, instructing Senator DOOlittle TO resign,
were yesterday presented in the Senate, and in
the House referred to the Committee on Freed
mems Affairs. No censure could be more en-
phatic than these resolutions which correctly
declare that Mr. Doolittle has united with the
enemies of the Republic, grossly betrayed his
constituency. and shown himself unworthy OF
further confidence and respect Mr. DOOlittle's
term will expire in 1869, and he will probably
keep his seat till then. A Senator capable OF
betraying his constituents is not likely to re-
spect their Instructions.

! Prominent among reforms, is the proposal to
| transfer the Indian Bureau to tho War Depart
ment There is a Senate bill pending in the
| lower House of Congress, which provides for
Boards of three Inspectors for each Superin-
| tendency-a soldier, a divine, and politician
which triHmvirate il is assumed, will cast out
the unclran spirit of corruption from the Indian
Office. At this point, Mr. Sclenck offers an
amendment which simply proposes to transfer
the Bureau to the War Department Last
summer, John Sherman offered a similar amend
ment in the Senate. The military, it seems,
want it, which il, on the whole, the worst fea-
ture iD the case. The plan, however, has some
backing. The eamOunt of confidence which seems
to be reposed in the honesty of the War Depart
mentscertainly consoling. When we considerthe
greater amount of its disbursements, it is cheer
ing to reflect that those who hold up their
hands in horror at the rascality of the Indian
Office recognize in it an incOrruptbe integrity
which invites under its conscientious wings
every stray and erIing waf Of government
The ghost of the days when QuaTtermasters
and Provost Marshals Ieigned on earth might
check this enthusiasm, and leave us at a loss
TO know whether there had been previous re-
sinfulncss of the Indian Bureau had reached
point where any change would be for the
better.
In truth, nothing could exceed the bOtch-
work and corruption OF our Indian manage
mcnt for the past thirty years. IL was abused
while under the War Department before, and
then it was "very little child Always
growing worse. Always suspected and abused.
Always iueyepsing in the volume of its response
bities. Ii was the eye-sOre Of misrule under
the Democratic party, until they closed their
interest in the establishment by stealing the
Indian bonds. Our politicians regard the In
dian Bureau as a paddock into which lean po-
litcal stock is 10 be turned, and money made
land under false pretenscs.
Between many of our Western people and
the Indians, there is mortal fcud. The former
steadily cDcroach on the latter. Humanity
toward them is considered a weakness. The
public man, representing new community,
who should deliberately propose 10 do Justly by
this people, could not be reelected. lie is eX-
pected To brOw-bcat and humbug the little
sense of justice aud humanity there may be in
Congress-to get rid of the Indians in, the
shortest way, and get their lands FOR the least
money. If he does not, in addition, con-
nive with thievish contractors to swindle
them out of three -fourths of the miserable
pitlance they get, he may he considered
very honest sort of Western Congressman |
When Congress therefore, talks of reform in
the Indian Bureau, the question is, What reform
does it wantf A stranger in listening to the
debates in Congress during the past week, is
struck by the universal admission OF mai
lcas;ncc and corruption. Everybody seems to
bs satisfied On that head. a fa1 have been !

The friends of Crete will be glad to learn
from the Constantinople correspondent of THg
TRIBUNE that at the beginning of January the
Cretan insurrection was as active as ever: that
the losses of Turks and Egyptians having
amounted to some 10000 men, the Turks were
weaker than three months ago and tint the
first step of the new Greek Ministry was TO
send for the Revolutionary Committee and in
quire what the Government could do TO help
them out All this does not look like an aban
dOnment of the struggle for independence. II
will be remembered that the hope OF the Turk
and the fear of the Greek was that the n1sur
gents would be unable to maintaia themselves
during the Winter, but that both expected that,
if unsurpassed at the beginning Of Spring, the
would again spread with renewed
vlgor. Winter is now drawing to a close: and
the latest Gable dispatches continue 10 assure
us that the war is still carried on by the patriots
with undiminished hope We, therefore, expect
cheering news in the course of few weeks.
