a GOOD INvEsTMENT.--Amon the most
solid and enduring oil American institutions are
to be reCkoned oUr lead ng Life Insurance Com
panies. The remarka able prepress OF these com
panies for the year 1876 proves beyond douot the
hold these institutions bave secured on the con-
hdence OF all classes. Life Policy Is now very
generally regarde rs the best OF all policies.
The reason for this Is plain:--Liie Insurance Is
founded upon scientific principles ana controlled
by unvaryng laws, aud not suOject 70 the
caprices of trade, as are the usual modes of in
vestment Moreover the amount necessary to
secure O life policy is so small that most persons
Will not feel the lay so that their usual busi-
ness operations are IN no way embarrassed
Life insurance is universal in It's application
No one Is too rich to need its benefits, nor too
Door to avail himself OF them. The wealthy
seek II as an investment as well as a protection
against reverse OF fortune; the business man
70 secure his creditors trom loss in case of
failure in trade, and his family IRON want in
case OF premature death. There is no prOtec-
tion to the man OF moderate income or to his
family s01thoW a ttfe policy Thei wisest men
have approved this system of saving a small
part OF present incomes, in order to secure the
large future protection TO self, family and
friends as practised by life insurance oompa-
mics. Scarcely week passes but sumo family
In this city is made 10 feel that these organiza-
lions are their best and only security. But a
lew years will pass before every village, every
Town and hamlet every point wherever there IS
an inhabtant, VIII furnish living witnesses to
the bene6cent character OF life insurance.
q Without any desire to disparage' any good
company, ana there are many, we take pleasure
in comm meDding to all who desire insurance the
Equitable Life Insurance Society OF the United
State. This Company having been organized
in 1869. It wrote policies covering over S26 000,
600 for the year ending in November last.

: general agents, will give tull information TO
these who desire it. Their Office is at No 432

The committee charged last session with the
duty of examining into the completely of Jetfer-
son Davis in the assassination, have recently
re-opened the question, and have been consid-
ering the expediency and practicabihty of ex-
amining John III. Surratt. The Secretary Of
War, the Judge Advocate General, and the
Secretary OF State have been consulted in the
premises. The members of the committee are
very reticent about their conclusions but there
is reason for believing that they have not yet
determined to take Surratt's evidence.
The evening organ of the Democratic party
continues its incendiary harangues to the OPP
position, and closes its leading article to-day in
the following words:
ITO avert being reduced into condition of
perfect slavery, perhaps sold like negroes GER
tainly liable as we have been to be imprisoned
without and murdered with process of law, the
Democratic party must organize Itself into an
army, with the discipline and drill of an army
drawn up before the enemy. 1t is absolutely
necessary. If we dose ut once we can save the
republic. If We do not, then farewell to all
free government We appeal to Democrats all
over the country to heed our warning"
The Postmaster Generul will, it is under
stood, ask the Attorney General how far the
recent decision of the Supreme Court in the
test oath cases applies to his department.; that
is, whether it relieves persons from disabilities
by reason Of participation in rebellion, and en-
ables them to qualify as postmasters on taking
the oath OF office administered before the war.

The Augusta Wafer Power.

AUGUSTA Maine, Jan. "a, 1867. ,
To THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS
The voters of Augusta voted yesterday on
the proposition to loan its credit, by the issue
of bonds to the amount of $780, 900, to deyelope
the water power of the Kennebec The aues-
ton excited considerable interest The friends
of the measure were active and the effort proy
ed successful. There was strong opposition
however, represented not so much by numbers
as by the influence and wealth which it con-
trolled. The caution which has hitherto char
acterized the business men of our State him
ders ready endors ement of that which seems
necessary for the success of the present under
taking. A new feature has been introduced in
connection with this measure-"to enter upon,
and use such lands as may be necessary for the
full Development of the water power" The
policy was opposed by an able speech from Mr..
Shepley, of Portland, in the House Saturday
last.
The friends Of the measure admitted that
Mr.. Shepley was right in theory, but the appli-
cation was unfavorable to their interest. The
House by large majority sustained the inter-
est of the Augusta enterprise The interest
which the friends of this measure in Augusta
take in this matter has created considerable
sensltiveness as has been noticed in the debates
that have taken place in both branches They
were very tenacious but anxious that their pol
icy should commend itself to the unanimous
judgement of both branches. And they have
succeeded very well. QUILL.

TURKISH BAEpAR1rx IN Cnrrr-A Frenc

TURKISH BARBARITY IN CRETE.-A French
paper-LA 0euir National-publishes the fol-
lowing relation, which, it says, is attested by the
HermoepoHs, a leading Greek paper, and other
authorities:
= Some time ago it will be remembered, the
English steamer Assurance received on board
some children, women and old men of Selinos
The captain of the ship promised to return iu
a week and take those who wished to find
shelter from the barbarity of the Turks A few
days afterward frigate without colors appear
ed, sure enough, on the horizon. The fugitives
rushed to the sea-shore When they had ap-
preached near enough to land, the frigate
launched a long boat, over which waved the
English flag. The shore was crowded with
Christians, who had fastened forth at sight of
this signal of safety. At the same moment the
vessel displayed the Ottoman flag and discharg-
cd all her guns upon the unarmed crowd. The
number Of victims was considerable Before
such a fact the heart throbs with indignation:
public opinion claims satisfaction; the rights
of humanity must be avenged; and it ought to
be known whether the commander Of the
Turkish frigate obeyed the ferocious instincts
OF his race or the instructions of his Govern
ment." f...r Tf

TO THE PASTORS AND BRETHREN oE TIE CHURCHES
OF MAINE: oh+ 81 3-H
The present is time of great expectation
and hope among many earnest Christians in
all the Churches of Christ in Maine, and the
question is often asked, What can be done to
awaken deeper interest for Christ in the
hearts Of His people?
rft A free interchange of opinions and expert
ence in regard to the various questions of prac-
teal Christian effort, between pastors and
brethren of all the churches, is eminently de-
sirable, that all may know and fully compre-
bend their duties to others, and how they can
do thes, duties most faithfully and acceptably
The Work ofthe Churches ;-Home Missions;
The efforts to spread the Gospel among the
poor and neglected; The Sunday SCHOOL,
The efforts for the suppression of Intemper-
ance ;-Home Evangelizatlon these questions
and the duties of Christians as connected with
them are of sufficient importance to call for
united prayer and consultation.
To this end, the Portland Young Mems
Christian Association after comforting with
many pastors and laymen Of experience have
decided to call Maine Christian Convention
De We therefore cordially invite the Christian
Churches of Maine to send delegates of pastor
and one more laymen to meet in convention
with our Association, at Portland, on Thurs
day and Friday, February 7th and 9Th, at the
Chestnut st. Church. ss-
The Convention will assemble at ten o'clock.
No Credentials aoiU be required.

"a TILTON AND McFARLAND's FIRE PROOF
SAFEs.-The Fire Proof Safes made by Mesrs.
iTilton & Mcfarland at No. ITO Sudbury street,
Boston, proved eminently safe and satisfactory
in the severe test given to them in the great
fire in this city in September 1865 that our cit
liens interested in saving their books and pa
pers from fire have very generally purchased
the iron safes manufactured by Messrs Titon
81 Mcfarland. These safes have very thick
walls and are furnished with all the modern
conveniences and projections against fire and
force. We publish in another column the
names of persons and firms in this CITY who
have purchased these safes and we learn that
these are all the safes which have been brought
here since the fire, with but four exceptions
This is a mastery record in favor of the Tilton
q Mcfarland safes. 1t gives the opinion of
men who were warned by the tongue of fire
to be careful in their selection. Such testimo-
ny is OF great value and is well calculated to
inspire the highest confidence of the people at
large in the excellence of these safes as places
of secure deposit against the flames of fire and
the forces of wicked men.
The invariable practice among business men
in this city is to deposit their money in the
banks, where thieves do not break through and
steal, but their books and valuable papers they
keep secure in Tilton & Netherlands Safes

mn Yours respectfully,

Mr.. EDIToB,-If the Park wasn't enclosed,
it would be Square; if the Square was large
enough it would be a Park. I take pleasure
in adding to the confusion by suggesting that
Mall is the correct designation for our little
grass plat, which one of these days will I'm
dOubtedly become "a shaded walk" Suppose,
then, we call it a Mall, or Square, OF Park,
or anything else we choose; though it isn't a
park any more than 1 ana park of artillery.
The next thing to be determined is its name.
The city government has set the example of
naming the enclosure after distinguished
man-John Phoenix, author of various instruc-
tive and entertaining works. rather like the
principle, though object to its application, as
Ensign Stebbins was in favor of the Maine
law but opposed to its enforcement. What
has Phoenix done for Portland? He never
even paid a tax here. Let us name the Square
after somebody we know Why not call it
Willis Square, for instance? The name has
been honored here for years; why not preserve
it in this pleasant locality as other names are
preserved by our streets? CmGNoN.
NoTE-Our editor-in-chief and correspon-
dents will notice by the proceedings of the City
Council last evening that the matter is settled
and it is to be called LINCOLN PARK.
We understand that subscription is to be
started for the purpose of placing bronze
statue of President Lincoln in the Park. The
Memorial Tree will be placed there.
