Gov PALMER has all the law there is in

defend the arbitrary subjection Of the
civil power to the military In tho case re-

Hon, VIM. +. Coolbaugh said he had
made up his mind that 1t was the duty OI
the merchants Of Chicago to determine
the mutual relations existing between
them and the insurance companies, es.
pecially in view Of the fact of the i'm.
mense difference existing between their
proposed settlements and their published
assets He proposed to select a commit.

tions TO make the fullest investigations,
He felt compelled TO say that there was
as much disposition in the New York
companies to drive hard bargains as those
In Chicago He thought that every sus.
pended Company in New York, Boston,
Hartford and other cities should be made
to offer iairer settlement than 25 per
cent, leaving, US tthey did In many in.
stances, surplus Of hundreds Of thou.
sands of dollars. Insurance companies
ought to be taught that they should be
honest as well as other persons.

upon TO speak, He represented the re.
Ceivers Of the Atlantic, Manhattan and
Security companies, Of New York, He
had been asked what amount can you
payY That question would never be an
swered, even when II was solved but he
thought, taking the companies us they
run in New York, with two or three dis
honorable exceptions, there was not any
feeling to do otherwise than TO pay every
cent due to the Chicago sufferers, The
Manhattan and Security companies would
probably pay from sixty to seventy.tive
cents.

The Political Situation from a
Xnshington StandpoInt.

Tie Washington Chronicle prints the
following, with the statement that II Is
from one of their most trusted contribu.
tors:
"Fron prominent men Of tho Demo.
cratic party who are here, and others
who have been here recently, and in cor.
respondGnce from New York, we learn
that general interchange Of opinion Is
going on relative TO future action looking
10 the Presidential election. Outspoken,
decided leaders Of the Democracy have
freely expressed their views, from which
IL appears that o large majority of these
gentlemen arc in favor Of coalition
with division Of the Republicans, II II
can be brought about, 10 nominate the
candidates for President and Vice Presi.
deut, in opposition TO the regular nomina.
ton Of the Republican party. Very few
opinions asserting to this proposition have
been expressed. The utter hopelessness Of
success Of all opposition TO the Republi.
can nomination, with candidates Of the
regular Democratic Convention, Is almost
unanimously admitted. The p1an gen.
orally favored Is to allow the conservative
element Of the Republicans to make Its
choice, and for the Democratic conven:
tion to meet and adopt resolutions and
adjourn without regular nomination for
President and Vice President. II the
sentiment that now prevails almost uhani.
mously among Democratic leaders shall
govern, this course will be adopted.
Final action is postponed on this subject
till Congress shall meet, when Democratic
Senators and Representatives are to hold
a caucus to consider the opinions of the
lights of the party, and will probably re.
commend the course to be pursued with.
out an exception. Thus fur, they admit
that the lookout now clearly indicates the
nomination by the regular Republican
party, and re election Of Gen. Grant"
