The Ldfe Insurance Investigation.

Some time in the early part Of fsst year, q
policy.holder In one Of tho large life insur.
ance companies of this city commenced a
suit at Flaw against the company. The COM
plant charged the company with numerous
acts of mismanagement, and among them
that the Vice. President had abused his
trust by securing TO On agent Of the company
who was closely connected with him by mar
ringe sundry commissions which he was not
entitled to, and that such agent had thus
realized largo sums to which he had no right.
Also, that the company, in addition TO large
ralaries, had allowed its officers a commission
or allowance ON the dividends made, amount
ing in the aggregate to q very large sum.
Also. that the company agreed to pay con.
siderable sum to the estate of a deceased con
Of the President ON policies which had been
cancelled by purchase nore than two years
before bis decease.
by some means unknown to the public,
the matter was hushed up, and the costs of
plaintiffs attorney for round sum were
paid by some one-not the plaintif-and it
is said that few if any Of the trustees of
the company other than its lawyers have
any clear knowledge Of what tho charges
were. The attorneys Of the company object
ed TO allow the matter to come before their
Board, and succeeded In suppressing all
knowledge of it.

The Great Crimc of the Century.

Mr.. FISH is determined to play tho auto
crat but he has been made to understand
by Senator SHERMAN and Gen. LOGAN that
he cannot be permitted to act any longer in
defiance of the sovereign people.
Not even in tho most despotlc countries Of
Europe would Government have ventured
upon tr!a!ng so hagrantly with the wishes OF
me nation as this Republican Administration,
which now sets itself up as an absolute
master Of tho destinies of this and neighbor
ing republics.
From tho outset Of the Cuban revo
luton, Mr.. FISH and Mr.. SUMNER have
twisted international law in such a man
ner as TO Lafile the interests Of Ameri-
can freedom, and to pander TO these of Euro
pean tyranny on this continent.
Were Cuba dependency of some power.
like Russia OF Prussia, which had stood by
the Union during the war against slavery,
even then the regard duo to a faithful ally
would not have justified tho American
authorities in aiding TO tighten the chains
upon neighboring American common
wealth but as for Spain, no regard was due
to her on the part of the United States. Dur
Ing our civil war her sympathies were with
the SHAREHOLDERS and with tho invaders Of
Mexico and tho wretchcd Government of
Queen ISABELLA WAS as little calculated TO
command the respect of civilized nations rs
the miserable Regency which has been built
up upon tho fragments Of her shattered
throne. Yet we were the fret 20 reco0ni2e
the new order Of thinrs in Spain and If II
had not been for our prompt action, Euro.
p2An powers would have been very slow in
acknowledging adventurors like PRIM and
SERRANo as rul r. Of the Pen nsula.
And what has been the gratitude shown
90 this country for this service rendered TO
Spain in the hour Of her distress2 Precisely
this that from tho moment the Cubans
severed their connection with q Government
TO which they were not bound by any pledge
Of allegiance, and which. moreover. treated
them ko parials, Spain-the decrept Spain
Of PIIM and SElRANo-thrcatcued TO de,

The authorities interfered, ard prevented the
duel. CAsTAsoS subsequently,, On beng insult.
ed by another Cuban, drew aud ired upon his in

His BODY was taken over TO havana tho next
day, and although he was notorioe sly man who
had driven Gen. DuLcE out Of the leland by the
conspiracy of the volunteers, which he inAugu-
rated and kept alive, yet the present Captain.
General, and all the highest Spanish officials on
the island, invite the public TO his funeral as that
of a martyr TO the dominion Of Spain in Cuba.
On the other hand the victims TO the eKaspera-
ton Of the volunteers have been numerous in
Havana and Matanzas. Among these victims in
Havana were three inoiIensiye American citizens,
of whom one was killed and the other two dan
gerously wounded. Tho corpse Of the murdered
man arrived here by the steamer Dionylle on
Monday night. GREENwALD was murdered, not
because he wore blue neckiie, but because he
was an American and because, apart from the
hatred felt by Spanards toward our couutrymen
generally, the death Of CAsrASoS on American
soil had to lie washed ont in blood
Now mark the opposite phases under which
each of these men met his death, and the effect
resulting from the death of each, CAsrASoN was
armed fired the first shot, and was killed by the
man upon whom lie fired in sef-defence. lie is
forthwith canonize1 as a Spanish martyr.
GREESwALD was unamed, and murdered in broad

provocation. His body is brought back here,
and will be inferred without the slightest demon.
sration, because his wounded companions arc
still in Havana, and it is feared that any public
expression here Of sentiment hostile to the per-
petrators Of his murder may be the signal in
Havana for the assassination Of these wounded
men.
II seems scarcely credible, but even to this
depth Of degradation and self-abasemeut has the
low trucking policy of Mr. FIsn sunk US.

that in Germany, as in the United States and in
England, the masses Of the working classes are
beginning TO assert their influence aud to take the

The Crown Prince Of Prussia, who attended
this debate, must have acquired from it the whole

Many plans have been devised by thought
full men, impatient of the chronic antagonism
which exists between capitalists and laborcrs, for
hurmonizing the interests Of the two classes, and
putting an end to disputes between them. None
ofthese plans have as yet proved perfectly sue

mated to a true principle, which only needs scien.

Tint principle is the dividing Of the profits Of any
business between those who furnish the capital
employed in II and those who do the work; such
as, for example, first allowing interest to the
owner Of the capital, and then distributing the
profits in proportion to the wages or salary OF
each employee. Thus, say there is invested In q

who furnishes this capital have per cent, or g..

The assassin ofGREENwALp in Havana was
arrested there on Saturday last. Some days pre-
vious to his arrest, the CaptainsGenernl Of Cuba
issued proclamation offering reward for his
apprehension, and publicly declaring that IL or
rested he shou'i be tned by drum-bead court
martial, and, Il condemned, should be executed
within two hours thereafter.
Four days have now elapsed, and no trial has
been held.
Two reasons for this Dolby are assigned by
wcll-informed parties. The first is, that the
Captain-G General dare not execute the culprit, in
such mortel dread does he stand of the volun-
teers.
The second reason assigned is that Mr.. HAM
LToS FIsn has requested his ally, the Spanish
Minister in Washington, 10 telegraph to tho Cap
tain-General not to held a court martial in
Havana. inasmuch as It would be construed by
the Cuban sympathzers in Congress as a proof
of the existence Of war even in that city.
