THE LIVE BONUS Of His .Company. at

THE LIFE BONUS Of this Company, at
last valuation, August, 1863, averaged 46 per
cent. of the Premiums paid, in some cases
rising to IS, 70, and even rs per cent. Sub
stantial benefits have therefore been conferred
on its Assures, and as the Life Liabilities
are valued on the principle Of net Premiums,
assuming only 3 per cent. interest-(Me outside
expenses cAargeaMe to tie Life Department
for the General Management Of The Company
being specially limited By the Deed Of Settlement
to 10 per cent Of The net life aucome)-there is
every reason to expect equally good Bonuses
in the future.

THE PITTSBURGH COMMERCIAL
AND SPEAKER HALL.

In maay respects we regard the Pittsburgh
Commercial as most excellent newspaper
-unexcelled by any paper in the State, and
eduaIled by very few Nevertheless the
greatest of men have their weaknesses, and
il does seem to us the Commercial is slight
II weak in its continual harping at Speaker
Hall Yankee doodle is most excellent
tune when played by a good band, yet it is
barely possible that if band were to come
every day before ones door, and play that
and nothing else, for a whole month, one
might get tired of it. We suggest that the
Commercial intermit the thing just for one
day and try how it goes. There IS an ap-
pearance of vindictiveness as if something
else than a difference Of opinion about rail-
roads lay at the bottom of the affair. 1t is
an old trick and one not at all to be com
nended, for newspaper to assall public
man at some supposed weak spot in his pub
lie acts, to crafty personal pique, or to ae.
conpFsh some personal end. A newspaper
to be truly great ought to be fair and I'M,
partial. j really honest, fair and impartial
newspaper Is great blessing in a community,
the value Of which no man can reckon.
We publish Speaker Halls Free Railroad
speech in our issue of to-day. 1t strikes US
as being clear, forcible and satisfactory
statement Of reasons in favor Of amending
the bill 30 as to make it what the people
wapt-a law 10 promote the making Of rail-
roads. As TO whether failing to get the
amendments put IN the bill, it would have
been better for the friends Of the free rail-
road law to have voted against it, as the
C0almerciaI claims, than to vote for the bill
in the hope of it being amended IN the
House. or by some subsequent Legislature,
is question about which men might hon
estly differ. General White, Mr.. Billingfelt,
aud oyher undoubted friends Of free rail
road law, thought best to vote for the bill as
1t stood, rather than to vote it down. For
ourselves, we incline to think that the Com
anercial is right, and that it would have been
better to have voted against the law, and to
have depended on some subsequent Leglsia-
ture to have made a new law ~ toto. Yet
we can not see that the difference Is very
great after all 1t might be, for aught we
know, quite as difficult hereafter to get a
new law m toto, as to get a defective anu
worthless law amended. And, perhaps,
there Is one advantage connected with the
present state of affairs, and that is, if the
bill passes the House it viii give Governor
Geary an opportunity to define his position,
whereas had it been voted down, as the
CoumrcieI wanted, that opportunity would
not have been afforded.

HUNTING the TIGER.

The Franklin Repository, comments on
our discussion of the Railroad question IN
the following style
"THE Bedford Inq5l$rey is intensely disgusted
with the legislature for its want Of fidelity TO
the people, and despairingly asks-''How
long shall these things be2'
Our Republican cotemporaries of Bedford
and Somerset defended the first and most
fragrant act Of our legislature, and they com
plain now because 1t is their OK that is gored.
While they were hunting the tiger they enjoy
ed the sport, but when the tiger undertook
to hunt them, they don't appreciate the lux
ury.
IF the Repository was hunted by the Ii
ger on the L. S. Senator question, we did
not play the part Of the tiger We we're
unqualifedly in favor Of Thaddeus Stevens,
and the Repository ought to know it. When
Cameron was elected we approved Of him
as a good man and a friend Of Pennsylya-
MIA interests. We do believe that what
we then said is true, but it was after the
contest was over, and the man of our choice
was beaten, and it could no longer influence
the election Whether the election was ac-
complished BY fair OF unfair means, we new
er undertook to say. Col. Mcclure under
stands very well how those things are done +;
we belong to the uninitiated IF money
was used, as between the two most promi-
nent candidates, the victory was no doubt
won by the longest purse, and if the dough-
y Colonel wishes to blame any one for his
failure, he must blame himself for having
miscalculated The ce.ght of his candidates 5
arguments. We viewed the matter from
an entirely different standpoint, and were
directed in our choice Of Stevens by desire
to see devotion to principle honorably re-
warded, and man sent to the U. S. Sen
ate who was above all considerations of per
sonal emolument OF aggrandizement, and
would act upon his honest convictions of
what would best promote and preserve our
national welfare.

THE NEW LICENSE LAW.

In another column viii be found the new
License Law, passed by the present Legisla-
ture, and under which licenses viii hereaf-
ter have to be obtained We hope to see
all good citizens, having the welfare Of the
community in view, favor a strict enforce
ment Of the law, as it now stands. Where
drunken or immoral and disorderly persons
apply for license, we hope to see re1non-
strances against the granting Of such licen-
ses and If the citizens fail in this, we hope
to sec the Court take firm stand and re-
fuse any longer to grant licenses indiscrimi-
nately. Drunkenness and crime Of every
kind are running riot over the land. and it is
high time that such laws a. we have for
their restriction should be rigidly enforced
IF two thirds Of the dram shops Of the coun-
try were closed and the other third in the
hands of sober and respectable men, ,are
respeetability and the retailing Of liquid
poison as a beverage eompatible?l our courts
Of Quarter Sessions would soon cease to oc-
cupy three-fourtbs Of every regular term,
the county would be saved annually ten
times as much as is now derived from Iicen-
ees, and general good order and morality be
greatly promoted

HOW NOT TO DO 1T.

10 the Washington news Of the q st inst. +,
we find an item running as follows There
is a prospect for the confirmation of Mey-
ers Dem. who has been nominated tor
collector in the Sixteenth District, if Scul,
(Rep.l, is nominated for Assessor in the
same district We have seen a good deal
of Somerset trickery and are generally pre-
pared for almost any kind Of scaly perform
anccs by politicians from that section But
we do hope to see the Senate put its foot
down on this kind of bargain and sale of the
interests Of the Union party in this district
Scull was Collector formerly, and nominally
edits paper in Somerset the Collector s
Office efectually shut his mouth as long as
he could hang on to it, and until he was
kicked out, he was perfectly oblivious of the
treason of Andy johnson, and the base
treachery Of his good friend Cowan. At
the beginning Of the present session of our
Legislature he was called to Harrisburg on
urgent Rail Road business and after
whole winter of railroad making at Harris
burg, he may have made something but we
don t see the railroad, it seems the same
pressing duty has drawn him to Washing
ton. We hope the Senate will never con
sent to confirm the nomination of a dumb
dog that wiIfneither bark nor bite as long as
he is fed. as an offset to Meyers. If we are
to have trade-of, by I'll means give US as
unfinching a Republican, as Meyers IS Cop
perhead. We protest against any such bar
gain and sale, but if it must come, let US
have qaid p,o q,to and not a nullity

Reconstruction in Alabama.-Immens e
Meeting in Selma,

-A@NNAAE ia N'NAAAAtAF
WASHINGTON. March IA dispatch
from Selma, Alabama, states that the lar
gest meeting ever witnessed there took place
yesterday. Resolutions were unanimously
adopted, strongly expressive Of Union senti-
ments, and recognizing the right Of Congress
to prescribe the terms of reconstruction and
readmission Of the seeded States into the
! Union, and therefore urging that the people
of Alabama should forthwith accept the
bcnefcent terms Of reconstruction.
A RADICAL CONVENTION AT HUNTSVILLE.
On the fourth Of March, a Convention
under lead of Judge Safold, Judge Hum
phIeys, Mr.. j. C. KeiTer, and other well
known citizens Of Alabama, assembled at
Huntsville The movement originated en-
tirely with white men, but had the support
of all the prominent representatives of the
colored men. General Wager Swayne,
among others, addressed the Convention at
/ length. OF the many radical resolutions
adopted, the following are the most intsres-
ting:
Besolrsd That the rejection of the amend
meut proposed to the constitution of the
United States, known as the 18th Article, by
the Southern States, has induced the action
upon the part Of the legislative power Of the
Union in adopting other and more radical
measures to suppress the spirit Of rebellion
and the political idea Of State antagonism to
Federal control.
Resolred That the policy Of inactivity ex-
pressed by the opponents Of Congress, and
the refusal to participate in the restoration
policy Of the law making department of the
Union is the work of well known hostility
to the Union, and, in the Judgment Of this
Convention, no measures compatible with the
safety of republican government could be
adopted that would satisfy this opposing ele-
meut.
Rcsolred, That property qualification at
tached to the right of suffrage is auti-republi-
can and dangerous to the liberties of the peo-
pie,
Resoired, That we recommend to the true
Union men of the different counties in the
State to hold county meetings within the next
sixty days, and that these meetings send
delegates to q general Convection, to be held
in the State Capitol at such time as may be
appointed by the Executive Committee.
A State Convention has been called to
meet at Montgomery early in May, to take
formal steps to reconstruct Alabama on the
conditions ofCongress
