LIFE IEsURAEcE.-A card in our special
notice column this morning affords strong
illustration of the benefits of life insur-
ance. The facts are narrated in the card
of d. N. Kennedy, Esq, gentleman than
whom none stands higher in the State.
The gentleman upon whose life the policy
was held was apparently in full health a
few weeks since, but wisely made pro-
vision for that contingency which is liable
10 overtake any man at any time. The re-
suits of his foresight are seen.
The punctuality of the Northwestern
Life Insurance Company, Of which Messrs.
Farnsworth 4 Clark are the agents in this
city, lie prsiseworthy; and will add to the
already high character it holds in this
community az one of the most correct and
reliable in the country.

PRESENTATION BY THE WHITE CROOK
ASSOCIATION TO Mr.. MAURICE SAx.-We
saw on yesterday evening at the iewelry
store of Messrs. Davies & Brothers, corner
of Church and Cherry streets, magnificent
silver service, which is for presentation by
the White Crook Association to Mr..
Mauris Sax, as a.token of appreciation for
the taste, skill and efficiency he displayed
as manager in placing the great burlesque
so successfully put upon the stage, and for
the very large part he has contributed to
its uninterrupted success throughout the
many nights it has been performed. The
service is very beautiful one. 1t consists
of an antique medallion pitcher, a large
waiter of the same pattern, and two hand
some medallion chalice goblets. The
workmanship is of a superior quality, the
carving being tastefully and skillfulIy
executed as the cunningest hand of art
could accomplish. The rich material is
polished as only silver can be- An apprc-
pirate inscription is to be carved on the
pitcher, stating the circumstances Of the
presentation by the Association to the
worthy recipient. The presentation will
be made tonight at the Summer Street
Theater, it being the last night of the per.
Torrance of the White Crook. It is a val
liable testimonial, and in the circumstances
one that is most worthily bestowed.

GENERAL MARKETS.
NAsHvnLr. Dec. Is. 1867.


CoTToN.-H will be noticed that the dis
patches from New York and Liverpool are
rather meager, owing, we suppose, to the
storm Eastward
The market opened rather dull, but
fair demand soon sprung up for the better
grades, which went quite freely at l2c.
Poor qualities were in very limited re-
quest, although holders appeared TO be
eager for transactions. 1t was stated that
as large an amount as 1000 bales of this
class were on the market, but failed to find
a purchaser.
At the close holders manifested more
confidence, based on the advices from New
York, but there was no appreciate i'm
proyement in prices. The latest Gales
were made on basis Of l2Ac for fine
staple, from wagons.
We classify the transactions Of the day
as follows: 1913 bales at 12R, Is at 12s,
2S6 at IL, &c at liz, at 112, S6 at 1l9, 2
at IL, is at 10, and 25 at 100. Total sales

HOLT AND coKovER.

The New York World thus hits two
prominent men: THE conviction of
SANFORD Conover for perjury and his
sentence to ten years Imprisonment are
eminently just; but justice is not salts
fed with this act alone. or course, it
sounds we'll that this poor scamp should
be punished for his crime; but why should
his master, Joseph Holt, 90 free2 There
are grave suspicious in the public mind
that, as compared with Holt, Conover
was more sinned against than SHINING,
since he was tool Of the former. By
all means, then, let there be q public
trial of Joseph Holt not q whitewashing
affair with a packed jury and a plant
Judge, but an honest investigation, un.
trammsled by the influences which the
War Department knows SO well how TO
bring to bear upon courts within its
reach. Were this fellow, Holt, anything
Of man, be would demand thorough
investigation Of his conduct; his failure
TO do 50, together with his efforts to
thwart every such proceeding, strengthen
the suspicion which exists against him.
But why not bring him to trial ?

REGISTRATION IN WILLIAMSON.

The Franklin ReTiep says: There
is a rumor ahoat in this community
which we publish in order to give an
opportunity to have it contradicted. We
can not and will not believe it unless the
proofs amount to more than mere sus.
picion. 1t is said that the officer of
registration issues certificates at night,
and only to the followers ofthe Governor,
a large portion of whom, in this county,
are negroes, and that he cannot be found
during the day at all. 1t is further said
that he purposely keeps out of the way
in order to avoid issuing certificates to
those who will not support Governor
Brownlow. We know of good many
loyal citizens living on the extreme
borders of the county who have been
here several times in order to register
and get certificates, who have failed to
find the register of votes. Some have
even gone to his residence and failed
there to find him. If his other duties
are SO onerous as to leave him no time
to attend to this matter, he should at
once yield the position to some other
member of the family who can stay here
and perform his duties We would like
to hear from him in regard to the impu-
tation about the night service, as we feel
assured that injustice has been done
him. We will be glad to publish his
denial Of the charge" ~

IEFFRRsoN DAVIS, CASE.

The Philadelphia Ledger says The
next term of the Circuit Court of the
United States for Virginia will be held
at Richmond 10 May. At this term JEFF
ierson Davis ought to be arraignedl for
high treason, but. there is very little
probability bf his trial being had. Chief
Justice Chase objects to holding a court
whilst martial law exists in Virginia, and
unless the Chief Justice is present no
court can be held Virginia being in the
Chief Justices circuit) 1t is under.
stood that the counsel for the prisoner
will visit Richmond at the commence
ment Of the term, and will ask for q
trial An indictment for treason has
already been found against Jefferson
Davis, but a motion, il is said, will be
made to quash it on account Of various
informalties. The act of 1890, under
which Davis is arraigned, declares that
" No person or persons shall be prose-
cuted, tried or punished for treason or
other capital ofense aforesaid. wilful
murder or perjury excepted, unless the
indictment for the same shall be found
by a grand jury within three years next
after the treason or capital offense afore-
said shall be done or committed" If
the present Indictment be quashed, a
new one must be found before April,
1868, the rebellion having ended in
April, 1865, or else trial will be pre-
vented by the above provisions of the
law. There is no probability of trial
being had in May, and the mystery of
what to do with the leader of the rebel
lion is now no nearer solution than it
was at the time of his capture.

MEETING LAST NIGHT.

A very large number of Conservative
citizens met last night at the court room.
The proceedings will be found in~one of
our local columns AS a preliminary
gathering, it was quite successful. The
resolutions are sound, the disposition of
the assemblage harmonious, and, we
trust, will prove an earnest Of glorious
future. The names of several gentlemen
were mentioned in connection with the
several offices to be filed. For Congress,
it does not appear that Mr.. Leftwich had
any opposition. For Senator, FlOater
and Representatives, Mcintosh, of
Upton, J. W. Smith, Dan Able,
Able and H. j. Lynn, were suggested.
The Convention on the 9Th Of May will
make nominations for these offices.
Meanwhile, the people will consider the
matter, and decide for the best. The
delegates to the Convention will be un-
trammeled, will canvass the claims of all,
and select only such men as possess the
unquestionsd confidence Of the Con-
sentative party. We await the issue
with great interest. The canvass is to-
be fierce, and our standard bearers must
be men of-undoubted metal
