gllHIS Society, which confines it's bust
M ness exclusively to assuring the lives
Of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale Of Premiums,

which ReyerSionary Bonuses, averaging

assured have been distributed among t! e
Members Of the Society.
Its career, during a.period Of 20 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part TO
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, and that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.

AToo APPROPRIATE TExT.-Texts of
Scripture have often been inscribed upon
coins. When the greenbacks were first
issued by the United States, MG: Chase,
the Secretary Of the Treasury, consulted
among Others the president Of one of the
Philadelphia banks in regard to placing
some motto upon tbem-sucb, for ex-
ample, as has since been impressed upon
the ive-cent piece "In God we trust"
After mentioning several Scriptural texts

asked the bankers opinion. "Perhaps,"

In the 7NAIontic Monthly Magazine, Mr.,
Parton, under the heading "The Small
Sins Of Congress-" gives an account Of the
extravaganza in "petty cash" of the re-
representatives. of the nation. In one SEES
sion the people paid for "hauling',' more
than ten thousand carloads of documents;
for one thousand and ninety-eight pen
knives, at prices averaging about three
dollars each +; and fifty pounds Of tobacco.
More than two thousand dollars were
paid for transporting the body Of a de-
ceased membyf from Washington o East
on, IN Pennsylvania. Congress. costs
something more than thirty-three thous-
and dollars a day. And, finally, the writer
suggests that a vigorous man Of business
should ''have the contract for running

Yesterdays state Elections.

Our returns and estimates SO far received
of the State elections of yesterday indicate
that the republicans, on short vote, have
saved their distance in Pennsylvania in the re-
election, by small majority. of Governor
Geary over Asa Packer, and that they
have probably defeated Pendleton in Ohio.
AS to Indiana, Nebraska and Iowa
we are s.ill left to conjecturcs, aud we con
lecture that Indiana, which was carried by
only thousand majority for the republicans
October last on very full vote, has probably
gone democratic this year by default The
heavy republican majority in Iowa and in
Nebraska last year, on the other hand, il is
pretty safe to say, has not been overcome.
The general result, then, of all these cleo
tons signifies that the two parties remain sub
stantally as they were. There are no signs
OF political reaction. The republican party
under the wing Of General Grants admins
| tration, holds its own. But for the democratic
detection in Philadelphia, however, on the
city ticket Geary would doubtless have been
swamped by General Apathy" for outside
of the city throughout the State the repubi-
cans have lost heavily. The sturdy Pennsyl-
vanians Of the rural districts, in their full
strength, will not turn out on a purely local
election, no matter how earnestly the poll
ticians labor to make it an affair Of nationa,
Importance. The elections of yesterday,
then, including Pennsylvania, may be
dismissed with the conclusion that they ndi-
cate no change in the public sentiment to the
prejudice of General Grants adm Illustration
but that the two parties remain substantially
as they stood last year. including the vote held
in reserve and which will be brought out next
year in the elections for new Congress.

lots of whiskey and cigars seized as contra
band in this city lately, amounting 10 a con-
siderable sum, give it up. These seizures
include forty barrels Of whiskey and some
seven thousand cigars, picked up at various
points along the wharves and elsewhere. No
claimants appearing when called for, the goods
were by Judge Blatchford condemned. The
owners no doubt had ciphered 1t out that it
would be cheaper to forfeit the goods than to
stand trial, and SO they go into the public
treasury. Thus it pays to follow up these
whiskey and tobacco rings, and honest men
rather like it. Let the work progress.

WAS TIE EVENING Posr IN THE BULL
RING ?-This question has been raised and dis
cussed powerfully in tho affirmative by another
evening contemporary. 1t Is likewise true that,
whether its object was free gambling or free
trade, the Post did its 'level best to head of
the government from any interference in
the game of the gold pool. The journal
in question could not have labored more
zealously for Fisk, Corbin and Company
had 1t been hired by them for the job.
Bigelow, it is surmised, lost his head as the
pilot Of the Times by spelling an article from
Corbin intended for the game Of the ring but
was any one Of the free trade poets Of the Pos!

evidence presented in the matter is certainly
very curious and points to big cat in this meal

so it is in Wall street. But those unsettled
balances of that awful Friday still hang like a
cloud over the bewildered bulls and bears
Nobody knows anything among them as to
what these balances are, nor what will be the
pect, however, that as the lawyers have been
called in they will weigh and divide the cheese

Grand Jury catching any Of the spread eagles,

We may have q republics we may have 6
restoration; we are more likely to have
anarchy. The one thing which has prevented
anarchy hitherto has been thc power Of the
army. There are two units in Spain. The
one is the Church, the other Is the army.
Both are formidable. The unity of the army
made the revolution easy The unity @!
the Church made the triumph of the
revolution impossible. The two units
remain. That Of the Church ia strong as ever.
That of the army begins to show signs of weak
ness and approaching dissolution. The break
| ing up of the Church would be blessing
but there is no power in Spain strong enough
| to accomplish so great work. The breaking
| up of the army would be as great blessing !;
| and the one hope for Spain now consists in the
fact that such breaking up Is no longer an
impossblity. If the people can only be
reused up the presumption is that the soldiers
will affiliate with the people, and that a royo-
luton in the true sense will begin. The army
on the popular side Spain would enter upon a
new career.
We cannot say, however, that we arc san
guine of any happy results for that unhappy
country. To our mind anarchy is more pro-
bablo than any other possible result In that
case Cuba may do what she will and 90 where
she may. Don Carlos may ride in blood to the
throne and re-establish the worst kind Of des
potism. Isabella may return in triumph with
all her satellites and with all her sins The
republicans may win the day; but as France
Is now peculiarly combustible, Napoleon, we
may rest assured, will do his best to make
Spanish republic an impossibility. The state
of things in Spain at the present moment makes
il exceedingly diflcalt to foresee any early or
satisfactory future. 1t is not impossible that
in their despair the present government may
invite Prince Napoleon to the throne but it
is hard to believe that the European govern
ments will consent to any such arrangement.
The one thing Which can now be said with con-
ldence is this-that Spain is in the furnace.
Whether she is to perish there or TO come GU!
with new life no one can tell

spain-The Progress of Republication.

spaiu-The Progress of Repubiicanisn.
Our latest news from Spain is in perfect
harmony with all we have been led to expect
for months past. The Cortes have been for
some weeks in session. The country, which
was comparatively quiet until the Cortes met
has become uncomfortable since they began to
deliberate. Instruction has become general
all over Spain. The Carist element, so ag-
gressive for time, has quite disappeared.
We hear nothing of Isabella. But the republi-
cans, 80 vigorous in the first stages of the revo-
luton and for a time 80 undemonstrative, have
burst out in all-and apparently more than
all-ther original force.
The record of yesterday was alarming for
Spain, and for the peace Of Europe generally,
but it was hopeful for the republican party.
In Valencia, In Anialusa in Aragon, in
Catalonia the insurgents-all of them republi-
cans-had been up, and, although the govern
mant claims that at all points the insurgents
had been defeated, large margin is left for
those who doubt and for those who believe.
| 1t il lamentable that after a year, during
which Serrano, Prim, Topcte and their friends
have been absolute masters Of the situation,
Spain should now be in the helpless and hope
less condition in which we are compelled TO
regard her. What has the provisional govern
ment done2 II has, with the assistance Of the
Cortes, which in our judgm INT has been alb
surdly obsequious, passed into law new con-
stitution-a constitution which looks very well
on paper, but which cannot be said to
satisfy in any true sense the Spanish people
1t is significant that the constitutional guaran-
tees, the particular part Of the new constitu-
ton which the Spanish people cared anything
about, have been temporarily suspended, and
that after years progress Spain should once
more be under martial law. 1t Is not less Gig.
nidcant that while the government has been
going round Europe all that time Offering
crown not one has been found willing t.
, accept the empty bauble. If anything were
wanted to prove that the Spanish government
has been a miserable failure we should only
have to mention Cuba. The condition Of the

THE HoRSEr.-Captain Higgins Of the
Hornet protests against ''the exercise of
jurisdiction over public ships of recognized
nations" That is quite correct. But what
our courts want to know just now is whether
this designation properly applies to the
Hornet. Are the Cuban revolutionlsts in
such position before the world that they
can give ship the character Of a national
cruiserS Our government practically says no
to this point, and our courts cannot accept
the utterancc of Peru as having superior
authority, the more especially as the recog-
niton by Peru is intended as an act Of hos
tility to Spain.
