The progress and unprecedented growth
Of the New York Life Insurance Company
is proven BY the following facts taken from
official reports:
In 1850, twenty years ago, tbs assets oi
the company were $2A2,74N at that time
the total amount insured BY the company
WAS about two and half millions, only q
little more than It now has in ths oil re-
gious alone. The twenty years which have
since passed bas increased this more than
City times, and the reserve fnod for the
policy holders security, more than ne bun.
dred times 90 that absolute safety is guar
antssd BY the age Of the company. 1t has
gone on from strength to strength, the last
three years being the most prosperous Of
oil. In 1868 It Issued 2.439 mora po licies
Than II did the previous year, insuring S.
0s7, $3.50 more, being 40 increase OF about
81 per cent. while the Mutual Life. Connec.
tlcut Mutual and other leading companies
the same ratio. The same result was ex-
perieoeed 10 1869 and 1870 bids fair to
place the New York Life still farther ahead
The company Is economically managed and
pays % large dividends to policy holders
(who are the only stockboldersl as any
company In the world. Nine tenths OF the
companies claiming to be mutual are moi
strictly 90, but have more or less stock. the
holders Of which ssp ont tho best earnings
Of the company. Remember that the New
York Life is porely mutual, just what II
claims TO be. nothing more nothing less.

next was assigned for tile. business of the
Banking and. Currency COMMITTEES. : a
bill J. for the revival Of American, com.
msrce was resumed, but n, action had;
it comes up again tomorrow. The Pa.
oific Railroad Committee reported the
Senate bill for Northern Pacific Rail-
road, without amendment; its considera-
tion is now progressing. In the Senate,
the bill giving Wilberforce College
(oolored) S25, 900 from the Freedmen's e
Bureau fund, passed. The conference
report on the enforcement OF the fifteenth
amendment was resumed, and will pro.
badly be talked over day or two, but
its ultimate passage is considered certain.
In the House, the bill to revive ma vi
CATION and commerce was taken up, and,
after discussion, the substitute agreed on
by the committee was offered by the
chairman. The Northern Pacific Rail
road bill was reported back without
amendment. Amendments were offered
to protect the rights and interests of
actual settlers, and to exclude the con-
clusion of guarantee of the bonds of
the company by the United States. After
bitter discussion the main question was
ordered-yeas 107; nays 66. Several
amendments were voted on; NIL rejected.
Without disposing of all the amendments,
the House adjourned.
The Senate confirmed the Committees
report on the fifteenth amendment. The
bill was adopted by party vote-4S to
IL. The appropriation bill was resumed
and brakes amendment, regulating the
rule OF evidence as to loyalty of claim
in, f1,oH &c -. =
a telegram reciting the particulars of
the murder OF State Senator Stevens, of
North Carolina, was read.
The report of tho Committee regnrd-
ing trade between Mexico aud Texas, al
leges that from $2,000,0OO to So, 100000
worth OF goods nave been snuggled, aud
accuses the Mexican Government with
favoring illicit trade; also, asserts that
J uarez was disloyal during the rebellion,
by allowing contraband goods to reach
the Confederates through o territory
which he controlled.
To days Tribune says: Gov. Bullock
reads somewhat too literally. He has
written lis letter, for which we regret
