The New York Mutual.

1t has been repeatedly denied that the
New York Mutual Life Insurance Compau J
furnished money to all in subjugating the
South. Little by little the truth leaks out
From the following, taken from the Baltl-
more Gazette, it will be seen that there was
a foundation for the allegation
"That the President had made loans
contrary to the provisions Of the charter, to
Hon. Horatio Seymour, or to John f. Sey-
mour and Colonel North, agents for the
State OF New York, when Horatio Seymour
was Governor, for rendering aid to New
York troops in the Geld in 1863" The
facts are, says Mr. Miller, that the State,
having voted 100000 for the relief of her
sick and wounded soldiers, her agents got
the President of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company to advance the funds in way not
authorized by the charter. That the en-
ployment of the Compaay's money in that
way was something more than ali IRREGULAR
ty is conceded. But as the President, Mr..
Winston, was "loyap' in the eyes Of the
State Insurance Agent, he now stands blame
less. Mr.. Miller iells US:
"Under this arrangement, some thousands
of dollars were advanced by Mr.. Winston,
all of which was duly returned by the State.
If this was stretch Of authority on the part
of Mr.. Winston, the circumstances under
which it was exercised we're SO peculiar, the
Irregularities occurring in every department
of government from alleged necessity SC
common, tie public necessities so great, the
object of the departure, if any was made, SC
commendabIe, and the probability Of loss SC
slight, that [ have no hesitation in believing
that every generous, patriotic man will
agree with me IN pronounclDg this action OF
President Winston as ia: more to be COM
mended than denounced"
Mr.. Miller's views Of this transaction arc,
in our Judgment, simply disreputable. -
Neither "the Irregularities occurring in eve
ry department Of the Government" nor
''the public necessities" nor the 'isiight-
ness" of the probability of loss, had anything
to do with the question. The Mutual had
in its keeping the money of many thousands
of people, many of them living in the South
and unable to look after the proceedings Of
the Company. It was under the most sa-
cred obligation to deal with its friends in
the most buiaess-like way, and in strict ac-
cordance with its charter. It acted in con-
tempt of both it's business customs and its
own fundamental law. but being Hloyai,
the ordinary rules governing these cases
must not be applied. The unauthorized act
of the President is ''far more to be commen-
ded than denoaaced" Now we repeat that
we believe the Compsny to be generally in
the healthy and prosperous coalition that
Mr.. L;ller says it is We only submit that
it is shanae!pI thing to see the sworn agent
of the State defending any irregularity in its
management under code OF ctkies that fol
eight or ten years past has been the refuge
of ten thousand thieves and rufhans-a code
which ought to stink in the nostrils of every
decent and honest man.
