The above speaks for itself, aud
shows with what promptness the St.
Louis Mutual Insurance Company pays
the losses which i, incurs. We under
stand that Col Lallersteat only had his
life insured in this Company last Octo-
Der, and at the tune of his death had
paid but two quarterly premiums of
thirty.si dollars and ten cents, while the
Company declared a dividend of thirty.
seven dollars and fifty c:nts in favor Of
his policy for the year 1869. From
this it will be seen that while Mrs. Lal-

COTTON OTEALlNt IN NEW 1Ohh.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Jo1Hal
of Commerce, writes to that paper
as follows upon the subject of cotton
stealing, in the warehouses of that
city: -.. .... .. ...:a.
o.. -s NEW YORK, July 9.
Messrs. Editors :-Complaintis often
made of losses in the weight of cotton
To-day while looking out Of my Office
wiuIyM, Isax-ths-se+ OF tn1S whole
difficulty. Opposite there is cotton
warehouse (and there are several others
in the neighborhood,) and I saw the
thieves stealing the cotton as it came
from the warehouse. The word steal.
ing tells the whole story. All hands
steal. The cartmep, the laborers, the
samplers, and hosts of girls and boys,
and men and. women, that are hanging
around, all steal. And the warehouse
men themselves wink at it, if they do
notspro6t by this wholesale stealing. IF
you will spend a few minutes at my Of
fee almost any, day you may see a -po-
Hceman leisrrely walking by ignorant
of all that is going on. A short time
since called the attention of police
-maa-te-a-ease- of GOTTEN stealing, and he
told me that be would not arrest. cot
ton thief if he saw one in the act. His
excuse was that the Police Justice
would not notice him, and that he would
get nothing but abuse for his pains, and
that if lie persisted in doing his duty
that he could not keep his place three
months. This is dreadful onditionI
of things. In my neighborhood are
several places where this stolen cotton
is openly bought, and the thieves can;
be seen.going in and out at all times OF,
the day, and theiribusiness is no secret.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I ask the question, ,
can this thing go on and our communi1
ty not suffer? Men and women are
not the only ones engaged in this bus
inesss but. scores of little children are
included@among the thieves, and they
show as much skill as their elders.
This city will suffer in its business
unless'tbis thing is'stopped.ra- 1t is not
safeto send cotton to New York for
sale. I-wouid not do SO, and would
advise my friends not to do so, unless a
stop could be put to this wholesale
thieving. "A loss Of one or two bales
to hundred is trifling, it must be
much-greater.. Our Judges and police
will do nothing, Cannot our cotton
merchants devise some plan to stop it !
If not, the day cannot be distant when
it will lbs bold and reckless man fiat

ESCAPES FROM THE PEN1TENTIARY.

ESCAPES FROM THE PENITENTIARY.
The week just passed chronicles the
escape Of six convicts from MIR. Stol.
brands penitentiary. -Four fell upon
their guard, while working at some dis:
tance from the enclosure, disarmed and
beat him, and made off. Two others
worked through the enclosure. These
six added to the two mentioned a few
weeks ago, and tie sixteen that Governor
Scott pardoned in his last batch, make
twenty-fnur convict felons recently let
loose among US. 1t is apparent that
Scott is eight ahead of Stolbrand, as
far as heard from; but the difference
between these doughty opponents of
penal laws is that, while Scott's par
dous are layishly published, to all, les
pecially to all negro voters, } Stolbrand's
escapes are kept as dark as possible
Besides, to Stolbrand's credit, we must
remember that this penitentiary is but

niagara.

The people who have visited Niagara
this season have noticed o very marked
change in the appearance Of the Horse
Shoe as well as American Falls. The
former has evidently given way almost
thirty or forty feet in that part of the
cone where the water looks so green, on
the side nearest Goat Island, and it is
estimated by geologists that from one to
two hundred tons of rock must have
fallen. This has not marred the appear
ance Of the Falls 1t is now settled
fact beyond question that Niagara does
cave in some each year, and the change
which has taken place this summer is

the Republican party would never have
occurred and they would be tapping
around it like kittens around plate OF

party soy that each other are corrupt.
He told the colored people that he would
not bow down on his knees to get them
to 60 with him; that he had enough
votes TO elect him any way. He was op-
posed to the Fifteenth Amendment, for
the reason that it would bring perhaps

tons here, and they in few years would
rule the State. be was for exact JUS
tice to all and exclusive privileges to
none. He was for the repeating of the
franchise law and the law establishing
county commissioners and metropolitan
police com missioners.
Mr.. I. A. Kerchival, candidate for the
Lower House of the Legislature, said
that the only way to produce peace and
harmony and good feeling throughout
the country was to repeal the law in re-
lation to the great subject of franchise.
he had introduced bill in the House of
Representatives three years ago looking
to that effect He wanted the question
settled and riveted so that it would never
be brought to light again. He was in
favor of the Fifteenth amendment, but
would rather see it as an amendment to
the Constitution of the State than of the
United States.
Jim Sumner (negro) was the next
speaker, and harapgued the crowd for
sometime.
Jas. Davis then announced himself as
candidate for the House of Representa-
tives. He was neither Stokes nor Sem
ter man, but an American citizen; stood
upon the Republican platform; had been
a Union man during the war; was in
favor of universal suffrage, and prom
ised, if elected, to vote for all measures
that would advance the interest of the
State and people.
A young man named Gslbraith, was |
the next candidate who spoke. He was |
for universal suffrage, and was opposed |
to the tyrannical law giving all the State
printing to certain paper; was for econ
omy in public expenditures, and was for
resisting all the frauds that had been per-
petrated in the State. r.ssr
Next in order was Nelson Walker, col
ored, universal suffrage candidate, who
attempted to address the meeting when
crowd of boisterous negroes commenced
yelling and hootipg, crying Take him
down Take him down I" etc. Nelson
continued speaking, however, to the few
who desired to listen to him, despite the
noise of the negroes. s"l 90

By Mr. Stone in q few remarks, after
which the pow-wow broke up.
