gIHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the Iives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other As
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk Of life in the West Indies, and sufi-
Client to create large SURPRISES, out Of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
81 per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during o period Of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives Of persons residing in this part Of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
aud that they do not demand such exces
siye Premiums as are charged by every
other Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life =

yearly, or Yearly, at the option of the
Assured.
Assurers wishing to discontinue the pay
ment of their Premiums, may either dis

A CONTRAST.

1t is within the memory of every one
how the whilom slave lords of the South,
when they found they were hopelessly
whipped, and the Southern Confederacy
had collapsed, to avoid Yankee domina-
tion, fed the country and sought refuge in
England, in Mexico, Brazil, &c. 1t was a
sorry day for them, as was proven by sub
sequent events, and few months absence
made them yearn to live again under the
flag they had attempted to dishonor. How
ever much Union men may have detested
the spirit that led them into such huge
mistake, no one could offer them an insult
in their disheartened condition. After
they had arrived in South America,
and were suffering the pangs OF
extreme poverty, some of them were sick

CAN INDIANS BE CIVILIZED AND CHRIS.
TIANIZED3

This question, which has often been
asked by philanthropist, is about being
solved by the benign policy of the present
National Administration toward the
red man." Some time since we publish
ed extracts of report from Mr.. Welsh, of
Philadelphia, distinguished layman of
the Protestant Episcopal church, giving
the happy result of his observations in the
Indian Agencies.
The following from Judge Jones, who
has recently the visited Chippewa Indians,
will be read with qualification by all who
take an interest in the moral and social
condition of the Indian tribes, and in the
success of the wise and just policy of Gen.
Grant. The letter is addressed to Secre-
tary Delano and says:
MINNEAPOLIS, August 2S, 1872
MY DEAR SIR: We have just returned from
the Methodist Church, President Farchid, of
Oberlin, and two other clcrgymen, we spent
three or four days. On Sunday we saw the In
dians at church, the preacher Mr.. johnson, a
full-blooded Chippewa, officiating, with select
ed episcopal service and sermon, all in Chip
pewa We were called upon to say few words
to these wards of the nation. l never was more
interested-was, in fact, SO overwhelmed with
gratitude 10 God Tor the great Work ne was do-
ing through the President and your Depart
ment for these poor children of the wilderness
that could scarcely speak To see their re-
spectful attention. to hear them repeating the
prayers they had memorized to our common
Father, was enought to soften the heart and
convince the judgment of the most hardened
opponent of your policy. Bishop Haven, be.
fore we got to White Earth although support
er Of this policy, had great doubts Of its sue
cess, but he came away, as we all did, full O.
hope and, l may add, gratitude to God and K
the President and those whom he has selected
to aid him in this work for the great things tha
are being done.

Gov. BROWN has given ample evidence
that he makes statements on important
questions without understanding the facts.
In his inaugural address be charges that
the state debt increased under Republi-
can administration, from SlG,OOO,OOO to
$40, 600. In his Lebanon speech he
said it was from S2O,OOO,OOO to $40, 900 600.
Mr.. Freeman showed however, by figures
that ought to convince any unprejudiced
mind, that the debt and interest thereon,
up to q short time after Gov. BroWnlow's Is
inauguration, amounted to nearly 500, 600
900. Governor b. ought to be posted on
these questions, but if he is, weare at loss
80 unders;and why he should make a diff
ferance of four millions in his two state
.ments, aud still be very wide of the mark.

If it is sufficient hope the honest men of
the land will dare say guilty! guilty
guilty!p
My Knoxville speech nowhere charges
1.-THE members of the Legislature with Sc
cretly sacrificing the best interests of the
State" This is trick worthy of n first
class Democratic trickster. Brown thinks
if he can get my horns locked with the
Legislature, will have no time to gore
him. You can't play that game on me,
Johnny.
And now in conclusion, desire to reite-
rate my Penitentiary charges against
Brown. 1st. The lease to OConnor &
Looney was secretly; that is to say the
public was not informed that.the Peniten-
tiary would be leased.
I'd. If it had been made known to the
world that the penitentiary would be
leased to the highest bidder more than $50
600 would have been bid.
Sd, The lease when made was hurried
through the Legislature, although delay
was asked and far higher bid was Of
| fered.
4th. That in the lease the rights of the
| people were disregarded in these two par
! ticulars, the public had no chance to bid,
and the State lost the benefit of higher
bid
In support of these charges 1 once again
refer to the proof And now desire to ask
what answer is it to my charges, my facts
and my figures, to get Mr.. O'Connor to
| say that | did not vote my sentiments
when voted against the lease? Why
didn't O'Connor say there was no bargain
and sale between him and Brown? Why
didn't OCOnnor say that the lease was
made in the light of day. Why didn't
O'Connor say how his keen nose happened
to smell out this lease 1t won't do,
Governor Brown, to get Mr. O'Connor
to fight your battles. Suppose 1 didn't
vote my sentiments, does that fact
prove all my figures false? The people
are not so ignorant as you imagine
and you cannot humbug them by such
false logic as that. And as the Governor
is making speeches every day, | desire
, him to tell the people how it happened
} that while the Inspectors of the Peniten.
tiary report ''profit' of over 900 il
their management of the Penitentiary
, that the Joint Legislative Committee re
port an "actual deficit" of over 5000
during the very same period? showing
} discrepancy of over one hundred and thir
e ty thousand dollars! There is something
rotten here. The Inspectors and the Join
Committee are all Democrats, and L SUP
: pose belong, like the Governor, to tn
Greeley Reform Party. These honest ger
s tlemen say that here is a difference of owe
$780, 900. Write to O'Connor, Governor
4 perhaps he can explain this, by shown
e that Gibson talks one way and votes al
L other. -------..s-4-. s--,- -.--e

Homicide I'm Anderson county.

From gentleman just from the scene of the
occurrence we learn the following particulars of
a tragic affair that took place in the neighbor-
hood of Robertsville, Anderson county, result
ing in mortally wounding mannamed Sam
Collins by Mr.. Davis
The two men had q difficulty the day before
at pasture which belonged TO Davis and
They all had stock in the field and it seems that
on account of having either purchased rightto
Craze his stock or something of the kind, tina
Collins had an equal right with the others. A.
all events he claimed the right and was de-
termined to exercise it and on Tuesday armed
himself with stones, it is said, for the purpose of
resisting Davis, but a difficulty was averted.
On Wednesday morning Collins went to the
pasture field and commenced letting down the
fence preparatory TO driving his stock in, when
Davis came up and told him he should not put
his stock in again. He had driven them out
previously once before, but.Collins persisted in
bringing the animals there. he paid no at
tention to Davis warning, but went on letting
down the fence, when Davis turned around and
went into his house, which was only short dis
tance of and came out with double-barreled
shotgun which he aimed at Collins and emp
tied both barrels in his body, one load entering
his breast and the other in his bowels.
The wounded man was taken home and was
alive on Wednesday evening, though not ex-
pected to recover. He was attended by DIR.
Henry SinclSnecht. But little excitement was
manifested over the tragedy. Collins was con-
sdered a rather loose character: Davis was a
very gentlemanly person, though OF very high
temper when aroused.
