INsURANCE.-Mr. Editor II noticed an or
ticle in the Press, written by our towpsman
John Neal, Esq, in regard to the high rates
now asked BY the Insurance Companies. He
says, "That the rates of Insurance before the
great fire were too low for the safety Of the as
sured is not TO be denied. But since the fire
with the improvements we have introduced,
with better buildings, wider streets, large
open square in our midst, system OF hre
alarms, and arrangements for such water sup
ply as no other city can equal, the present rates
are altogether monstrous-being more than
double those paid before the fire in many
cases. Storea far better and safer than they
used to charge fifty cents for, the officers have
the modesty to ask one dollar and five cents
for. Now this is both unreasonable and I'M.
iust-uniust TO the agents who have been
working faithfully for years, many for the bet
ter part of lifetime, and who know from all
experience that the present rates are enor-
nous. Even the officers themselves aeknowl-
edge this; but being ia combination are qfroid
to break through the rules they haze adopted
OF course our best business will be driven
away, &C."
There is more truth than poetry in the above I;
and wonder that We have not heard more up
on the subject. Knowing that committee
from the National Board of Underwriters were
to be sent to give the people of our city rates
really north groaning over. some months be-
fore these exorbitant rates were established,
was at considerable trouble and expense to OBJ
tain companies not connected with the Board
here or elsewhere, and from that time to this
have been prepared to insure good property in
reliable companies, at fair rates. regardless OF
the rates asked by other companies, and have
settled all losses promptly, as many can testify.
Persons wishing insurance on good proper
ty, at fair rates, will do well to call at my Of
flee, III Commercial street.

HE BowDoNHAM BANK RoRBEks.-The
Augusta correspondent of the Lewiston Jour
nal says that the Bowdoinham Bank ana 9th
er parties who betrayed the expense of ferret.
ing out the Bowdoinbam Bank robbers have
applied to the Legislature for reimbursement
OF the amount expended (about $4,000 for the
purpose. They claim that as the crime was
one of great magnitude. involving not only
nearly hundred thousand dollars. but also
well-nigh human life, and as it was of the
utmost Importance to the peace of the State
that the villains should be detected, it becomes
the duty OF the State to assist in defraying the
expense. This claim is strengthened by the
fact that the robbers offer to return $4,000 Of
the stolen money and pay all expenses il they
can be discharged; and still of course they are
held for the good of the State at large. AS
they are SO held to the pecuniary loss of the
bowdoinham Bank, it is thoughtjust that the
State should pay the slight expense of detect
ing them. The Judiciary committee, however,
decided against the application, but motion

TROUBLE IN THE FLORIDA CONVENTION
Dispatches from Florida have been found ex-

have previously given some account of the diff

al convention now in session at the capital of
that State. Later advices state that on We'd
nesday the convention, by vote of rs to IL
declared Messrs. Billings, Saunders, Pearce
and Richardson Ineligible, and their seats va
cant. Mr. Billings, by permission, defended
his claim to eligibility in violent speech.
Line lobby was crowded with white and color
ed auditors, who manifested but little interest
Tor the overthrown delegates. The minority
report defending the legal eligibility of the
members in question was presented. The con-
ventiOn adjourned after a third reading of the
question of eligibility. After the adjournment
colored delegate was attacked by the outside
negro supporters of Billings's party and struck
for voting against the expelled member. One
of the assaulting party was shot through the
hip by delegate, when the difficulty was stop-
ped and and the parties arrested by the police.
This is the second time this delegate has been

PRESIDENT JOHNSON must be in a disma
state of mental confusion if the Washington
correspondent of the Boston Post, his bosom
friend, is to be believed. Who can make any
thing of the following paragraph:
During brief conference held with the
President, to day, he alluded to the recent
move ment in Congress for the immediate ad-
mission OF Colorado as State, and claimed
that this movement disagreed with the proyis-
IONS OF the Reconstruction laws. 1t was yir-

construction was failure, fact which the
radical leaders could have admitted witt

so the Union would long since have been res

The MONROE DOCTRINE ought to be extend
ed to a new class of cases. 1t is a theory that
has come TO be respected by foreign nations
and will prevent attempts on their part to es-
tablish monarchcial institutions on this side o.
the Atlantic. But it does not prevent the re-
cruiting of armies for the support of European
despotisms in this country. The Dominion Of
Canada is the source from which the Pope
draws large part of his mercenaries A
Montreal dispatch says that there was on
Wednesday intense excItemene over the de-
parture OF the Canadian Papal Zouaves for
Rome An immense audience was present
at the special services held at Notre Dame Ca
thedral Tuesday night in connection with the
event, and Wednesday over twenty thousand
persons assembled at the station to see them
off. Several persons were nearly crushed to
death by the pressure of the crowd. The
greatest excitement prevailed among the Ro-
man Catholics. .
