NEW ORLEANS.

New ORLEANS, July Is The ratifi-
cation meeting Of the Democrats tonight
was probably the largest ever assem- bled
here. lafayette Square and the streets
in the vicinity were deDsely packed.
The Vice-Presidents number over 300,
and comprise the most respectable and
substantial citizens of the city. The res
olutions were eminently patriotic and
conservative. They fully indOrse the
platform and nominations OF the New
York Convention, and pledge the cor
dial support of the Louisiana Democracy.
The fourth resolution repeats the words
OF that section OF the platform, that
slavery and secession are dead, and it
is beyond the power or wish of any sane
man to revive either" They condemn
the Constitution under which Louisiana
is now admitted into the Union,
and the authorities now exercising its
powers as having been imposed upon
the State, in violation of the Federal
Constitution, by the exercise OF absolute
authority from without, and view with
distrust and alarm the course pursued
by the Legislature now sitting. They
express gratitude to President Johnson
for his efforts in behalf of the COnstitu-
ton and address the cOlored people of the
State, towards whom they have none
but feelings OF kindness, and cite the
recent election in Mississippi as an ia
stance of what can be done by the proper
course towards the negro population.
The resolutions are also highly COM
mandatory of the course pursued
by the officers and soldiers OF the
United States army during the late
administration OF military authority in
this State, and rendering them their
heartfelt acknowledgements for their
uniform disposition towards the citizens
of this State as brothers rather than sub
jects of vindictive oppression.
The streets along the route which the
procession moved were brilliantly illu-
minated and thronged with ladies. The
enthusiasm is remarkable, but amid all,
perfect order reigns. The procession has
been passing the telegraph office for
thirty minutes, and the end cannot yet
be seen.

The circumstances were about as fol-

Hart ran out and Mr.. Bass made RfteI

Collectors of Internal Revenue to put

LIFE INSURANCE STATISTICS
Report Of the state SuDeTfn
tendSnt.

The life insurance section of the tenth
annual report Of Nr. William Barnes,
Superintendent Of the Insurance De-
pRrtment Of this State, has just been is
sued. This report reviews the business
and financial standing of all the compa-
MES incorporated in this State, or trans
acting business here for other States in
the year 1867, sad is important 10 the
community in general.
II is a business with which every citi-
zen who has the wisdom TO realize adv
Hvsilable surplus Income from his earn
iRgs or his property, ought TO be fully
acquainted. The scheme Of life insu-
rance is intended 10 embrace the inter
ests Of the whole communities is.
properly considered, the great co. opera
tive financial force OF the people-ssso-
f;iEted for mutual advantage and protec-
ton.
Its first impulse, pure and simple, is to
protect the widow and the erphaD-to
extend the atectiOnate care of the hus-
band and father beyond their own lives
70 the objects Of their affections. The
system has been found capable of other
applications. 1t secures endowments
and annuities for the living, protects
creditors, and promotes benevolencs
generally.
From Mr.. Barnes report we learn that
the financial force OF this great interest
in this State, represented by thirty com
psniS, amounts in their gross assets "
TO the sum OF SOS, $50 97s 81 that they
have in force POS $50 policies, insuring
the immense aggregate of 1912, 72l,-
43l o.; their premium income in 1867
amounted to SO 634 05l 90, and the
desth claims paid on policies same year,

Since the creation Of the insurance
department in this State the credit on
our New York companies has been
raised TO q high standard, and their
value appreciated all over the country.
II has not been possible under the iusn-
rance code as vigilsntly administered bv
Mr.. Barnes, to carry on en- insOlvent in
sursnce company in this State, Dor to
permit one TO be introduced here from
any other State. One marked effect of
this rigid surveillance in New York is
that the solvent companies of other
States have eagerly sought admission
under the department here in order that
they might obtain it's certificate OF their
soundness 10 accredit them elsewhere.
So sensible were the managers OF our
State companies Of the value Of Mr..
Barnes' administration OF his high
trust, that they united last session in S /
memorial to Governor FentOn to renom- /
mate Mr.. Barnes IS superintendent. I
They took similar seton during Gov 4
