COMMUNICATIONS
The Chamber OF Commerce.

ITS SALpE-NECESSITN o INTELIh-
GENT AND ACTIVE OFFICERS -A
PLEA FOR MR.. W. K. MOORE, THE
wELL-KNOWN DRY GOODS MER-
CHANT.
Editors Appeal: The Chamber of
| Commerce is an institution the value
of which, to a commercial community,
Is not easily estimated by dollars and
cents. Even ours, torpid as it has
often appeared during the last few
years, has been the medium through
which many of our embarrassments
have been relieved. Witness the re-
| moval Of the tax on cotton, the sue
cessful holding Of our great CONNER
cial Convention, to say nothing OF
many minor questions which have
had the cooperation and assistance of
the Chamber of Commerce. Its adj
yantages are patent and need not be
discussed. But to run it successfully, it
is vitality important that it he properly
and judiciOusly Differed. The annual
election for a presiding and minor
officers comes off on the fourth Mon
day "a this month, at the regular
monthly meeting Of the Chamber, and
it behOOveS the merchants tG see that
| none shall be elected but those who
| ave wei! fitted for the respective posi-
tions to be filled. it is particularly
important that the Office OF President
shall ba filed by some man Of energy
and ability, and who is by practice
familiar with the wants of our com
mercial community. The writer dis
claims any intention to reflect in any
manner upon Staj. Guy, who was Sc
lected by the nominating committee,
because Maj. Guy Is a worthy gentle
man and a good citizen. lie has not,
! however, the writer thinks, sufficient
claim to entitle him to the Office, hav-
ing meyer been conspicuOusly con-
nected in any manner with the inter-
ests or workings Of that body; and
now that Mai. Guy declines the nomis
| nation, we ought TO select some man
who is aud has been thoroughly iden-
titled with ouF commerce, and whose
whole soul and energy viii b6 given
to the work. We believe that there
is no man who a lay more Just
claim to the patronage and support OF
the Memphis merchants for that posi-
ton than our fellow-townsman, VIM.
II, Moore, Esq. 1t is we'll known that
he has been q warm and earnest sup
porter of the Chamber of Commerce
for the last several years, and has
probably spent more of his time and
money for the support OF it than any
one in the city. He has at all times
been thoroughly alive to the interests
of Memphis. He has lQbored hard
and spent much time and money in
trying to relieve us Of that CONNER
cial cancer, the importation tax, which
is eating to the very vitals of u
commerce, and the merchants, we
think owe il 10 dis energy and enthu-
siasm to elect him to the Office Of Pres
ident. We are sure that he will bring
to the position AS much or more energy
than any other man to be had, and
we hope that he may receive the
hearty support of the nominating
committed on Tuesday next, and of
the whole Chamber Gf Commerce at
the annual election on Monday, the
9th of September. FRONT Row.

IN our issue of the 9Th inst. we
stated that we would have occasion to
speak more at length of the Life As
ISOLATION OF America, and accordingly
do 80, after a clearer understanding of
its system, advantages and success.
1t is shown to us that the Associa-
ton was organized in June, 1868, by
one hundred of theIeadiRg merchants,
bankers and professional men Of st.
Louis, who entered into an agreement
to insure their lives for ten thousand
dollars each, on the ten-payment en-
dOWment plan, and to pay in their
premiums. which were deposited in
one of the strongest banking inStitu-
tons in st. Louis, before the AssOcia-
ton should be Incorporated. This
gave, on the day Of incorporation, one
million of dollars insurance, and an
annual income of more than seventy
one thousand dollars (S71,S70 10.
With this as q basis the AssO-
citation went into operation
as a purely mutual Company,
at the same time adopting a plan to
equalize the benefits of Insurance and
to spread the investments arising from
insurance among the several States
from which they are derived, so that
the Association should be strictly
equitable, as well "a essentially ma
tional. To do this 1t adopted a sys.
tenn Of "copartneFy organizations"
securing to each State or district that
enters into the organization, mutual
and equal rights, The charter of the
Association, which we have seen,
is an able and admirable document
by its terms giving to its departmental
organizations liberal advantages and
wise functions. Al the same time so
judiciOusly combining the whole IS to
give the institution entire unity, dis
eipline and safety. Each department
is under the control of a Board of
Trustees, residents of the department,
who invest and manage the net assets
obtained theFeFOm,
By the comprehenslvepess Of its
system and the obvious equity Of its
proposals, the Association has already
received las is shown to ns) the ap-
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1869-09-12

proval Of the most sagacious and
e~nterprising business men, bankers
and finaneiers in those sections where
it is now in operation, and has
achieved a success truly remarkable.
This new system and peculiar plan is
not an experiment, but after an eXis-
tence ofhfteen months has been prov
en- to be not only highly practicable,
but eminently economical-the ratio
of its expenses to premium income
during its first years business being
less than sixteen percent.
Each trustee of a department is re-
quired to hold a policy in the AssOcia-
ton on his own life or "On that OF
some other person to his use and ben
| eft" for an amount not less than ten
thousand dollars, and is allowed by its
charter to take applications for poll
cies of insurance on the lives of 9th
ers, on the first premiums of which
he is allowed a commission of twenty
per cent, and on the second premiums
a commission of seven and one-hal
per cent.
From the facts before US, we com
mend this institution to the consider
alton Ofourpeople, believing that Their
is utility, safety and greatness in it
And we gladly welcome every homes
enterprise that tends to develop tn
growth and enhance the prosperity o
our city and State.
1t is true this Company has beer
violently and bitterly assailed, ant
circulars have flooded the country t
its prejudice, but, as if conscious of it
own strength and reliability, it ha
moved on with a steadiness and sue
cess truly wonderful.
In making these remarks we hav
done so without intending any preju
dice whatever to other similar institu
tions, either local or foreign. tn
field isVast, and there is room enOug'
and work enough for all in this grea
profession. Indeed, we desire to Sc
a catholicity in the business equal t
the dignity and importance it is nov
attaining.
In conclusion, a word OF Life Inst
rance in general. The gigantic pre-
portions which the science is now a
Stunning, and the great and valuabl
results emanating therefrom, must b
a source Of qualification to all who re
! ioice in the relief of their fellow mer
and in the progress of the age in whic
they live.

nsxtsrity of East Indian Thieves.

The report of the Inspector of In
dian Prisons contains the following
remarks on the dexterity of thieves In.
India. He says: Cheynes, or cut
purses, are men who carry small
knives as sharp as razors in their
mouths; they frequent baZaars, and
with wonderful instinct feel out the
hooks on a ryOts person, where he
has tucked the corner of his GUNNER
bund in which his money is tied up,
and then, with a neatness still more
wonderful, the Chey1e snicks of the
bit of cloth with his knife and disap-
pears with the rupees, Then there are
the Syndhyas and Hurryars, profess
siOnal burglars, who mine into a ZEN
ana, coming up through the floor ike
a stage ghost, and with less noise.
They viii file off and open the ban
giles and nose rings Of the sleeping
women without awakening them, and
then disappear as they came. The
ordinary burglar, the DOsadh or Bhu-
nys. posts his confederate sentinel,
and then picks a hole in the mud wall
al a house with his sindmurry.
When the hole is sufficiently large to
push a boy through, or to get through
himself, he carefully inserts a ghurra
or stick through the hole. If the.
ghurra is not Immediately smashed
By a blow from the inside-for it
sometimes happens that the inmate is
alarmed, and stands on his guard near
the hole inside, with a stick or sword,
waiting for the burglars head to APP
pear-he sees that the coast Is clear.
and proceeds to effect an entrance
But this is clumsy work compared to
the professional thief, who win cut q
hole in a tent, and step over q
sleeping watch dog without alarming
the animal. He carries a sharp knife
works naked, and oils his body, 50
that he is hardly ever taken,

Enciant Ruins in GraenIand.

DIR. Hayes has written another
pleasant letter to some fFiendsin Phil
adelphia, in which, writing from South
Greenland, July 26, he says:
My old friend, the Rev. Mr.. An
thOn Formerly of ~Upernavilk), kindly
acted as guide to-day, and we crowded
into a WOman's seal skin boat. That
is to say, an Umiak, which was thirty
six feet long, and was propelled By
sixSstOut native women. The temper
ature was g. deg, grand the scenery,
and many the novelties, so we passed
a most delightful day; bothered only
by mosquitoes, which are more nu-
merous here and more vicious, l verify
believe, than in any other part Of the
known world. How old the ruins are
nobody knows; but certainly not less
than eight centuries; and as / wan
dered through the church yard, and
about the once massive walls of the
homes Of the hardy Nickings and
Sous of Vickings, who long ago peO-
pied this coast, thest0ry of their Won
derful deeds seemed written in the
very stones. The church ruin Tor ca
thedraD stands much as when Graah
visited it some forty years age. One
gable is yet eighteen feet high, the
three dOOrways are perfect, and some
of the windows are in the same cOndi-
ton. The walls are almost five feet
thick, and in places still very firm.
While Bradford was busy with his
brush, and DunmOre and CrickersOn
with their camera, | made a careful
plot Of AL the ruins, which are nine in
Number. 1t will please your curious
eyes as the photographs will delight
you.
