We have been for years an advo-
cate of Life Insurance, but have felt
that the insurance companies, in for
feiting policy, after years of pay
ment, on account OF a single omission
to pay, do an injustice to the policy
holder.
The Berkshire, of Pittsfeld, Mass,
meets this objection fairly, as you
will see from their advertisement to
be found in this days paper, to which
we call your special attention. BY
the way, we are pleased to know that
our late toWnsman, Mr.. Chas. 3. Rus
sell, was insured in the Berkshire for
$4,000, and the. money will be paid

pany is entitledito ninety days after

The manifestations of disgust over
the marriage of Moore, the white
man, with negress, which we briefly
noticed last week, are general, we
may say, almost universal, the Rad1-
Gals being about as violent iii their
denunciations of the affair as the
nigger-hating Democrats" we
can't see why they should disapproVe
of such things, for it is the legitimate
fruit of their teachings for years.
The Abolitionists for thirty years
taught the perfect equality of the ra-
ces. and after the close of the war the
Radicals caught up the refrain ahd
have ever since been chanting their
loudest and sweetest notes upon 1t,
and now that the fruits of their teach
ings begin to manifest themselves in
the intermarriage of the races, we
don't see why they should "get up
on their ears " about it. Isn't it quite
manifest they don't believe i'll their
| own teachings? a

The undersigned citizens of Virginia re-
spectfully show to your honorable body,
that on the 9th instant they submitted .
proposition to you to purchase the States

fifty dollars per share, payable in State
bonds. That upon the receipt OF their
proposition by the House Of Delegates, the
pending bill for the sale of the States inte-
rest In the railroads was recommltted to
the Committee on Roads, That the COM
mittee then invited them to meet them on
Wednesday evening ut 8 O'clock 5S1 s.
That the undersigned, on behalf OF
themselves and their colleagues, attended
the committee, and desired and offered
to explain to them all the facts and cir.
