American Insurance Co., of
Chicago. Ill.
Chartered 1855,

We herewith present a condensed state
ment of the business of the American In
surance Company Of Chicago, Illinois,
which will serve not only to illustrate the
feasibility Of the Installment plan of insur-
ance, as applied to the risks taken by the
Company, but to show in some sense the
eminent success TO whichlt may be carried.
For the six months ending March Goth,
of this year, the amount of installmcnts
received reached the sum of $52,3S7 81,
while the first cash instalments amounted
to $l3.552 81. 1t will be remembered
that dwelling houses, farm property,
churches, and school houses are the only
class Of property upon which the Ameri-
can effects insurance. -Tgf * =
Since January last the Company has
added $500 to its paid paid rp capital,
which now amounts to $4,000, $l05, 1859
of which is loaned on unencumbered real
estate with double the amount of the loans,
and the balance is invested in government
bonds, national bank stocks, and other
FIRST class securities. All other accum
tons of the company amount to $40, u'n-
which added to the cash capital swell0o0.

Reasoning from the business the compa-
ny has achieved in Illinois, we shall not
be surprised 10 learn that the American
cxcels in its particular line, any other CON-
pany of the country in the volume of its
receipts. Upon the Installment plan a
Policy is issued for 5 years, premiums are
paid in five equal annual payments. Upon
this plan the farmer has but small
amount to pay each year; has the ad7an-
tage of the proceeds of five crops to pay
for his insurance. He does not feel these
small annual payments; whereas, to pay
at the time he nsures for five years, he
feels it burden. Everything is made
easy and convenient You get time with
ont interest; all risk of loss of money by
mail is assumed by the company.

Fayette and Iowa counties, will visit the
farmers of those counties and secure them
against loss by fire and lightning, in the

The New Phase of the Rebellion in
NORTH. Carolina.

The main obstacle in the way of the exc
cution of the civil law upon the members of
the organization of murdereTs and assas-
sins, known as Kuklux, was the terror which
acts inspired not only in the victims but
in all classes of society, not in completely
with them. To this terrorism they trusted,
in great measure, for safety against the
penalties of the law, while the total in
adequacy and paralysis of the ordinary legal
remedies increased this state of terror more
and more, from day to day. The grossest
outrages were perpetrated in Alamance and
Csswell, not only without q single instance
Of punishment on the criminals, but without
the least effort on the part of the local au
thorlties to pursue the offenders or protect
the outraged citizens. The use OF the
Court Houses for the murder of Outlaw in
Alamance, and of Stephens In Caswell, were
meant to impress upon the victims and
their friends that the Khan was more power
full than the law which indeed was clearly
true in those localities The selection of Mr.
Shoffner. a State Senator from Alamance,
and Mr. Stephens, State Senator from Cas-
well, as victims for assassination, was made
with the same view. Their open and fire.
qupnt visits to the County seats, in gangs of
from sixty to hundred, in horrid disguises,
had the same object. Seen by hundreds of
citizeus, their outrages upon every mans
tongue, yet no action by the local authorities
and none from the Governor but useless
proclamations, their reign of terror was To-
cally supreme. and their confederates in
twenty-four other Counties were encouraged
to believe that they might with IMMUNITY
commit similar outrages in their respective
localities and were really doing so in some,
and actively organizing for the purpose in
the others. ''sN
These facts are now known to the people,
and since the publication Of the sworn con-
tessions of DIR. John A. Moore, MIR. Boyd,
and Others, are too fully established to be
any longer denied, even by the mendacity
Of the Sentinel. There was one course only
for the Governor of the State. He must use
his executive powers to give protection and
security to the good citizens, and to assure
them of the adequacy of that protection by
display Of his ability to afford it. Thus

The Attempted Assassination on Thurs
$500 day Night.

We deem it duty we owe to the public,
since the denial in the Sentinel of yesterday
afternoon, to go a little further into the de-
tails of the attempt on Thursday night last
to assassinate It. Dcvcrs, of Col Kirk IS

He passed up the street to Martin and turn

The. gentleman, who resides at the corner
of Mcdowell and Martin streets, was out in
his piazza when the shooting occurred, and
said on yesterday that he saw the first flash
of pistol beyond 1t. Devers, and then
saw shots fired by him in return. We
state the above facts upon the most credible
evidence, and they utterly refute the charge
of the Sentinel that the shots were fired
either for fun or excitement.
Asio the troops being called out, such an
occurrence was calculated to cause stronger
guards to be placed in the City at the most
available points. Fortunately no man was
injured, but this affair exhibits the spirit
which animated some of the rowdies, who
were clarifying over "ha6eas corpus" on Thurs.

the course of his remarks before Judge

counsel for the State, remarked in substance
that he was most agreeably astonished to
perceive the change which, in few short
years, had come over the spirit of that gen
tleman and his colleague, Mr.. Merrimon;
Tor IT seemed that the very fourteenth amend
ment to the Constitution. which they once
80 bitterly opposed and denounced, together
with the law for its enforcement passed by
Congress, had become at length, in their
estimation, one OF the great bulwarks of
liberty, for upon it they founded all their
present efforts in the matter now peudIng
before his Honor. And the reflection that
such was the case was rendered not whit
less agreeable to himself because when these
gentlemen had opposed the adoption of
TINS amendment he had favored and sup
ported its carly ratification. Truly he could,
therefore, exclaim in the words of the Scrip
ture as peculiarly applicable to the case of
these gentlemen at least, that =" the stone

The New Leader of Europe.

The national result of the brilliant cam
paign of 1866 were to sweep away all the
pretty barriers of government and ceremonial
which had so long separated German COM
munities, and to make Germany, from the
Baltic to the main, one nation, and the rival
of France in European Leadership. The
campaign of 1870 will do more. 1t YIELDS
Germany into one compact mass from the
North Sea to the Bavarian Alps, and places
this vast community at the head of Euro
pean civilization. No such grand and mo-
mentous event has happened since the over
throw of France 1914. A Teutonic, instead
ola latin race, leads Europe, and nationaism
intend of Cesarism, parliamentry institutions
instead of personal government, peaceful de
velopment under constitutional forms. rather
than military glory and Imperial rule, will
be the models presented to the models pre-
scented to the world. Teutonic seriousness,
Teutonic love ofliberty in Church and State,
and the Teuton's disposition for peace Gun
less he feels life trampled on), will be the
qualities of the ruling race. The Latin races
have done their part-and not always an in
glorious one-in the worlds history. Now
more earnest and moral and free races must
guide the helm Of progress. Professionalism
and parliamentary government must lead

FRIDAY, Aug. %, 1870.
The court opened at o'clock with Chief
Justice Pearson, Associate Justices Dick
and Settle on the bench.
His Honor stated that his reasons for leav-
ing the County Courthouse and allowing
only a limited number of persons in this
court room, was that the hammering and
confusion around said Courthouse prevented
him from distinctly hearing the evidence OF
the witnesses, but now the examination of
the witnesses being over, the Marshal could
admit any and all to free entrance.
Mr.. Badger, for the prosecution, opened
the case inhis usual forcible style and spoke
for about 40 minutes. ...
Mr.. R.H. Battle, for the defendant, spoke
for 2 hours, and, during his remarks, said
that he did not attempt to make any excuse
for the Kuklux, but that secret political Or
ganization under any name was moral trea-
son to the State. Z If Mr.. Stephens
could speak from his grave Mr.. Wiley would
be the last man he would accuse of his muir
der, and he, (Stephens), would say, let not
Wiley be prosecuted. -
Court adjourned to o'clock
