Congress-.

In the Senate on Tuesday, reports
were given, that no change should be
made in the rate Of taxation on distilled
spirits; adverse to the relief of the Drew
Theological Seminary and favorable to a
donation of $4,000 from the Freed
mems Bureau funds to the Wherefore
University of Ohio. A bill for the re.
lief Of j. Ross Browne, late Chinese
Minister, was also reported, and another
regulating the public printing by discon-
tinuing the publication of books and offic-
ial documents. Mr.. Wilson reported his
substitute for the House Army bill, which,
although similar to Mr.. Logan's bill pass
ed by the House, is less severe in its pro-
visions. II reduces the number OF enlist.
ed men in the army to $4,000 by July !
1871. A resolution was adopted for 0
distribution among the States of the pro
ceeds from the sale of public lands, fol
the purpose of establishing a general ed.
ucational system. Mr.. Pomeroy's join
resolution in relation to the conduct O
Spain in her treatment of the Cuban in
surgents was indefinitely postponed, ant
the bill for the survey of the Darien Shil
Canal was referred.

Mr. EDITOR - Your correspondent
from Bristol sccems very kind in trying
to enlightcn myself, and others, about
the operations of the Mutual Life He
goes around and tries to make explana-
tions in case questions should be asked re-
spocting the company's operations but
he does not answer the main question,
which is, how can they insure a person
for notliag?" He says in the Ninth
Annual Report Il suppose for the year
1861 that the assets were about S2l,-
100000. find in a report of a commit
tee appointed to examine the assets and
securities of the company for the same
year, that the assets were SD ,662 ,132.
/ find in communication from this same
Mr.. Roberts, that the company had over
thirty million Of assets TO manage at the
beginning Of the same year, and the Mu-
tual Monthly displayed, in large figures,
" assets S35 100000" | leave him to
reconcile the discrepancy, and ! would
again caution him not to contradict the
sworn statements of the company. If
they do get eight per cent. it would but
little more than pay the expenses OF the
company, to say nothing Of losses by
death, dividends, and accumulations. In
regard to the statement Of the gentleman
who called to look after his dividends, |
would say that if Mr.. Roberts will return
the paper that has the statement in, to
whore he took ii from without leave, we
can have the whole account published,
and then the public can Judge whether it
was fair transaction. He now thinks
that the expenses of the company have
something to do with the cost of insuring.
He says, "here lies, to great extent,
the difference in companies, and few per-
sons stop to investigate, but are apt to be
over-persuaded by some oily-tongued So
licitor, often captivated by the specious
plea, cheap insurance. Has Mr.. Rob-
erts ever seen or heard of any agent who
offered to insure for less than nothing,
and in so doing under-bid him? Re-
specting lapsed and forfeited policies,
understand the difference, but why should
SO many have their policies lapsed ? is il
because the insurance comes so cheapl oil
IL it because they cannot pay the larg,
premiums demanded
