tNpoRrANTACTION OF ALIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY. "

A question has just arisen in connection
with life insurance. possessing very gen
eral interest. but more especially Ut i'm
portance to our military organizations.
II has been stated that policy holder
in any of our life insurance companies is
compelled by an understanding with his
company to apply for a permit to serve in
the execution Of those duties which, as a
member of our militia force, he may al
any time, and on the shortest notice, be
called upon to perform.
This, it is further stated. has been re.
Gently illustrated during the past week
when several of our city regiments were
summoned, without loss of time, to sup
press the rioting on the 18th instant. dur
ing which two members of the Ninth
We're unfortunately killed. As one OF
these men, Sergeant Samuel Wyatt, APP
peared to have been insured in the Eqult-
able Life Assurance Society, we consider
ed it our duty to ascertain the exact truth
in connection with these permits.
We are glad to learn that there is a
misapprehension of the facts of the case.
That in reality no permit is required by
the Equitable to engage in such duties.
1t, however, happened that many of the
Seventh who are insured in that company
did apply for special permits, which were
at once sent up to their armory they were
however. unnecessary. The Equitable
have decided that insurance on the lives
of their policy-holders shall not be vitiated
by any such service as that of being en-
gagged as members of the militia in the
suppression of local riots,
This DECISIONS judicious, and will at
the same time be very satisfactory to the
large body of our militia regiments, so
many of whom, we understand, hold life
policies in the Equitable. IN. Y. Evening

Look at those features and see the agony depict

trouble remains. The sufferings from piles is of a
very aggravated description. You cannot walk with
any comfort; you cannot ride in peace; you can
not sit with ease and the suffering when attending

HORACE GREELEY
And the yirginiaus.
.svirginia ThInks too rzuch!,,

virginia Tanks TOO MHch!''
ALEXANDRIA, Va, August 2.--Horace
Greeley, who was here on visit, deliv-
cred an address at the Methodist Episco-
pal Church this evening. The notice
being short, there was not large, but
highly intelligent audience, composed
principally of Southern men. Mr.. Gree
ley said he thought it desirable to haye-a
respite of politics this year, in anticipa-
ton of the grave issues that would have
to be met next year. Reconstruction has
been thought slow, but 1t has been fast
enough. Had all been agreed, six years
Of military rule would have been better,
because of the improvement of light tax.
There would have been no party, no fuss,
and no creation of debt. Southern men
were not prepared to go into the Union
at once from the war. The South had
recuperated faster than any other country
did before-faster than this country after
the revolution. Prescription should be set
aside. If The men who seeded were
represented, when they wanted their first
not their fifth choice. Efforts to dis
franchise the negroes ought mot to be
made. He warmly favored the new de-
parture, saying that foreigners could not
be DISTINGUISHED twenty years ago, and
how could fourImilhons of blacks be dis
franchiSed now? The Democracy ought
to accept the Fifteenth amendment and
the Republicans would doubtless advocate
the removal of disabilities. Then, these
questions passed, finance would claim at
tention. He argued strongly in favor of
paying the national debt as fast as posi-
bic. It wss the only way to keep up the
public credit. Virginia thought too
much.

Tng at Locksmiths.
There are numerous ways of getting out
of Jail In addition to the regular legal
ways Ct accomplishing this desirable result,
prisoners sometimes dig out, break out,
cut out, etc but We have known OF very
few instances of their marrying out. The
circumstances of enc such case, which oc-
Cured yesterday, are about these: Not
many weeks ago a negro named Dick Rus
sell was, in accordance with the provisions
of certain act of Assembly, officially nOti-
fed to answer demands made upon MN
by Priscilla Baker, who claimed that the
waywsrd Richard had been unfaithfal TO
certain promises and unwilling to assume
certain responsibilities. He was therefore
brought before Magistrate, and the facts
alleged by Priscilla being made apparent,
the unfaitbfdl lover was required to furnish
security for the contingencies OF the future
or go to jail as the next safest means Of
making himself Rnsverable 10 the
demands of the County Court. Owing
to the depleted condition Of Richard }
finances, he was forced to the unpleasant
necessity of taking the latter alternative.
After few days experiences IN jail, he con-
cluded that be would rather marry than
remain any longer in that some#hat un-
comfortable institution. Intelligence was
Yesterday sent to Priscilla, aud yesterday
morning she called at Judge Turner, at
the County Court Clerks Office, in bridal
attire, and informing the court as to the
willingness ofzher truant lover, asked that
he might be brought out and furnished an
opportunity to illustrate the truth that
was in him. The prisoner was brought
into court, and in answer to questions
he was willing to make the on y atone
ment in his power by becoming the hus-
band of Priscilla. 1hereupon a license
was issued, and Justice James L. Pat
tsrson solemnizsd the rites Of mstrimony
between Richard Russell and Priscilla
Baker, and all went merrilly as could be
expected under the somewhat uncomfort-
able circumstances.

July IS, says says an express from Cow
Island, under charge of man named
Courtney, was attacked by Piegan Indians
on July Is, and robbed of sll Valusbles,
and what could not be carried off was
burned. A few days previous they sack
ed post fifty miles below Fort Benton,
and tore down the stocksde to raft them
selves across the river. They had stolen
every horse at Camp Cook, and shot q
man named Genert. Every place on the
river between Benton and Cow Island has
been pillaged and destroyed. Their main
camp is across the line in British territory,
from which they make incursions upon
our settlements. They declare az inten-
ton to clean the whites out this winter.

Tne Trail OF O Murderer. Is
The Times tomorrow, will publish an
interesting account of the pursuit of For
ester, the Nathan murderer, by detective
Pinkerton. When Police Superintendent
Kelso's proclamation was issued, offering
q reward for the arrest of the murderer,
the latter was in Chicago. He subse-
ouently fed to Galveston, Texas, to Ire
land, and thence to Scotland, where his
parents reside. Pinkerton followed him
to Scotland. His efforts TO secure the
fugitive's arrest were unsuccessful, but
he ascertalned beyond 9 doubt that For
ester was within the limits of Great Brit
ain, and his escape next to impossible.
The British police are on the alert, and
Pinkerton considers the murderer's cap
ture almost certain. though some time
may elapse before it is effected.

The Knights of the Road.
Systematic Stealing of Freight

A Romance OF the Mountains.
New York, Aug. 2.-The Erie Rail-
road Company has long been subjected to
serious loss by car thieves on different
divisions of the road, especially on Sha-
wangunk Mountain from Port Jervis to
Otisville, distance of twelve miles. A
very heavy grade is necessary to carry the
road to the top Of the mountain. Nalu-
able freight has been taken by thieves IN
connection, no doubt, with brakemeD, and
carried off into the woods. The officers
of the company have suspected persons
living in the vicinity of Shin Hollow,
about six miles from Port Jervis, and
clue was obtained last week which led to
the detection of nine of the thieves. Last
Wednesday night three men were seen to
get on the freight train at Port Jeryls.
After dark the next day, among other
freight that was missing there were a
number of sheep that had been consigned
to cattle dealers in jersey City. Sus,
picion at once fell on James, Peter and
Garret Conklin.
The company's attorney at once dis
patched an officer, and after tedious
search on the mountains there were
found on Friday morning, surrounded BY
unmistakeable proof of their guilt, in
the house of James Conkling, large quaint
tiles of mutton with other property that
had evidently been on the train. The
three Copklins were arrested, and six con-
federatss were subsequently apprehended
and taken to Port Jervis. At hearing
before Justice Clawson yesterday they
were sentenced ss severely as the law
would permit.
Peter Conklin promising to give in
formation that you'd lead to further
arrests, no action was taken against HIM,
and the officer returned with him TO Shin
Hollow last night. 1t appears that bar.
rels of beef, casks of hams, flour, coal
and other commodities have been thrown
from trains at this point. These thieves
lump trains at Port Jervis, and Arriving
at certain points freight is rolled off, and
and quickly taken away by confederates.
