COLUMBIA. S. c..
Wednesday Morning, March Is, 1871.
Conference.

We learn that at the instance of Gov.
Scott, number of prominent citizens
from various portions of the State met
him on Monday evening last, for the
purpose of free and candid conference
as to the best means of promoting peace
in the State. We are not able to state
definitely the details Of the conference.
But we learn that the gentlemen in con-
sultation expressed themselves very can
didly and fully as to the causes of the
difficulties that have occurred. After
doing this, it was left to the Governor
TO act upon the information given, and
to take suoh action as might be based
upon the views and facts presented by
the citizens brought into consultation.
It will be seen whether anything of ben
eft to the State and of advantage to the
public interest shall result from this
conference. We hope, of course, that
good rnay come Of it. That the disease
under which the body politic is suffer
ing is serious and deep-seated, is obvi-
GUS. A feeling of the gravast disoon-
tent pervades the State, and we feel sure
that no superficial remedies will avail
aught in bringing about condition of
things that shall be conducive to the
moral and material interests of South
Carolina.
AS to this conference, we are satisfied
that the citizens invited to confer with
the Governor did we'll to respond to tho
invitation.

The Augusta Chronicle und Sentinel,
referring to the conflict of ordinances
between the corporations Of Augusta
and Hamburg, says:
Parties stationed near the bridge state
that they overheard negro, named John
Williams, say that if the foot toll was
not removed by next Thursday, that the
bridge would be burned. This Williams
is the Door keeper or the Sergeant-at-
Arms Of the South Carolina Legislature,
and is the same fellow who attempted TO
cross the bridge without paying last
week, but was forced to shell out before
he was allowed to proceed. Other CO.
lored belligerent Hamburgers declare
that they seriously intend to set up
toll-gate on their side of the bridge. In
the meantime, we presume that our navy
will be gotten ready for use as speedily
rs possible, so that ii Hamburg decides
upon war, the village may be bombardcd
Mt moments warning. When the land
forces are organized, we learn that the
Edeefield ADVERTISER man will be offered
Il high command.

AJusr MEASURE very good law has
just been passed by the New York Lcgis-
laturo for the protection of those who
invest in life insurance. It provides
that, when thrco annual payments have
been made on any policy, the company
shall not, whenever an action is brought,
intcrposc as defence that the policy
was obtained by fraud. The object Of
the bill is to make the companies more
careful when taking risks, and more
scrupulous in paying them when they
fall due. The insurance folks consider
tho measure great hardship; but the
public everywhere will approve it.

A WARNING TO THE INSURED. case
of more than usual Importance to the
people of the whole country was decided
last week by the Supreme Court of New
York. The facts presented to the court
we're as follows: Certain property was
insured against loss by fire December 7,
1868, for one year. On the 21st day of
July, 1869, tho insured died, and the
property in question descended to the
heirs-at-liw. On November 9, 1869, it
was destroyed by fire, and the appoint
ment of the administrator, Peter Lappin,
was not made until the 10th of January,
1870. The association in which it was
insured, viz: the Charter Oak Fire In
surance Company, refused payment to
the administrator of the loss, upon tho
ground that the contract of insurance
provided the policy should not be as
signed without the consent of the com.
pany, and that any assignment, sale or
transfer of the property should work
forfeiture OF the policy. AS no such
consent had been endorsed on the policy,
the court held that the change of owner
ship consequent upon the death of the
insured was such change of title as TO
forfeit The policy. The administrator
could, therefore, recover nothing upon
the insurance.
"A clearer case Of a want of equitable
dealing than this between insured and
insurer has never been brought to our
notice, and in view of the fact that q
similar clause to the one upon which the
decision OF the court was founded is
made portion Of almost every policy OF
insurance, it is very clear that 10 insured
can afford to dio trusting to tho equity
OF insurers of real or personal estate. It
is death that makes a policy in life
company valid, and it is death that
makes policy in fire company invalid,
for after one is dead the chance to enter
into agreements Of transfer of ones
estate to ones heirs becomes rather moro
than difficult. -PhiMldphiu M4ui,er.

TIE TORNADO IN TIE WEST. The
losses i'll East ST. Louis, by tho tornado
on Wednesday night, were much exag-
gcrated. y more careful estim ate places
them at about $685. 900. The losses to
citizens cannot be accurately given. but
as some sixty dwelling houses of moro
or less value were either destroyed or
damaged, the loss can hardly fall short
of 100000. The railroad companies
are busy repairing damages, and the citi-
zens are endeayoring to gather up their
houses and are collecting their furniture
together. Reports from the country are
coming in, and speak more or less Of the
injury in the track of tho tempest. In
some localities the damage was consider.
able. In Morgan County, ILL.,, houses,
fences and forests were blown down, and
several persons badly injured. At Hele-
ma, Ark, the same afternoon, hurri-
cane passed over the city, unroofng
number of hopses and doing othcr
damage. Property was also destroyed at
Osceola and other points on the West
bank Of the river.

EARL's DENE.-A Novel. By r. E.
Francillon. New York: Harper Il
Brothers. 1871.
"Earl's Dene" narrowly escapes being
one of the best novels of the year. Its
plot is slillfully constructed, and is de-
veloped with exceptional ability. The
characters are strongly individualized,
and several among them are entitled to
be regarded rs original creations. The
only fault with the book is the want Of
vivacity in the narrative. The author
understands how to make good story,
but he does not thoroughly understand
how to tell it. Ho is too minute in his
descriptions, and his dramatic scenes are
too long and elaborate. Vivacity is
wanting in many of his pages, and the
keen interest which the book ought to
excite is thus sensibly dulled. Never
theless, it is q readable novel, and one
which reflects great credit upon the au :
thor. He will probably learn to avoid
prolixity in his future works, and we
may therefore expect that he will give US
something better even than "Earl's
Demo" Messrs. Duffie & Chapman have
the work for sale. We are indebted to
them for the copy before US.

A Very Grave Question.

Now is the opportunity Of the AegIsteT's
friend and patron, that illusEious man.
WIN. MARCY TWEED, one OF the proprie'
tors of the national Democratic newspa'
per organ. For the moment, New York
has forgotten him in the excitement OF
toadying the son of the Russian Car.
Now TWEED can slip of and ship to
Europe without being noticed or arrested.
We are sorry to hear that the great man
is depressed If he has the genius he
has credit for, let him seize the golden
opportunity, He knows what golden
opportunity is. He Asmade many one,
1t would be strange if he has so far forgot
his cunning as TO miss one ready made to
his hand. In six months all would be for
gotten and more than forgiven by the then
impecunious Democracy; and TWEED
might return to New York and meet q
reception rivaling that which yesterday
greeted the Grand Duke. Then he might
be nominated by the Democracy for Pres
ident, and by throwing q million or two
into the campaign could make things
lively. Part Of the golden stream might
flow through the hands land into the
pocketS of the Chairman Of the Demo.
cratic State Executive Committee Of this
young and vigorous commonwealth.
And now we return to the original
question that has so disconnected our
neighbor and stirred up his bile: If
TWEED should seize his present opportu-
nifty to escape Sing Sing, and should re-
turn to New York next spring, to be re-
cGived with open arms by "the most
loathsome political scab on the cont.
