A meeting of the creditors Of the Mutual Se-
curity Insurance Company is called by Mark
Kinball, Esq, Assignee, atthe Office Of Register
Hubbard, for the 2sd Of November. The object
Of the meeting is to hear the report Of the
Assignee and to make dividend The burnt
out mechanics and widows who hold policies in
this Company should know that the Hon. J..
Young scammon, OF Milwaukee, claims that he
has in the hands of Jonathan Z. Scammon, Esq,
Of Chicago, Treasurer of the Company, some
$4,000. This neat little sum Mr.. Scammon, of
Milwaukee, is trying, by quibble of
Law, to offset against the losses of
the banker and capitalist Scammon, Of Chicago.
The Hon. J. Young Scammon, Of Milwaukee, is
doing his level best to have the policies of the
Hon. Jonathan 7. scammon, of Chicago, paid
in full. The Milwaukee Scanamon is deter
mined to put into the pocket Of the Chicago
scam1non two and a half per cent of the mon
eys due the policy-holders Of that Company. The
poor man who had a two thousand-dollar policy
on his home and little grocery must, if the
virtuous Scammon, of Milwaukee, can have his
way, cOlITlDuIe S5U LOT tQ6 peneQt OF the capital
iat Scammon, of Chicago. II 11r. Scammon,
Treasurer, would hand over to the Assignee the
cash which he has seized, the Assignee could add
two and 3 half per cent to his dividend. It may
be very convenient for Treasurer Scamn1on to
have the use Of that forty Thousand dollars; but
can all the casuistry of the Hon. J.. Young
scammon, of Milwaukee, convince the policy
pany that it is right for Mr. scammon, of Chi
cago, to keep their money?

While the people Of the United States hare been

While thepeopeo Of the United States have been
comparatively Indifferent concerning the recent
settlement Of the San Juan boundary dispute,
and but very few OF them have the remotest
idea Of the real question at issue, the English
have got very excited over the decision Of the
Emperor OF Germany, who was the arbitrator
appointed by the Treaty Of Washington. The
comments of the press are very pointed The
Spectator Says s. the Emperor of GermaDy's de-
cision is very disagreeable fact for British
Columbia, and an unfortunate one for the
popularity of arbitration In Great Britain
The Morning Post thinks the decision is ''dam-
aging to our interests and to our diplomatic rep
utation, as we'll as to the character OF the Gov
ernment." The Telegraph berates the
geographical ignorance Of the Eng
ish negotiators. The other papers
swallow the pill with as good grace as they
can. In the meantime, that our readers may
know what it is which is so exciting the English,
We may state again that it is the decision OF the
question as to the boundary line between Van-
couver's Island and the American territory,
south Of the forty-ninth parallel The decision
Of the German Emperor fixes the line along the
channel between Vancouver's Island and the
Island Of San Juan (the Haro ChannoD. The
only particular advantage Of this new line is the
fact that in case Of fort could be construct
ed on San Juan island, which would cut off COM
munication between Victoria and the continen-
tai part OF British Columbia.

Recommending the North.

The Cincinnati Enquirer says I'VE
heard a good joke lately, as illustrating
the viewsof Mr.. Grants Southern negro
friends, that will bear publicity. Two
of our we'll known lawyers ia this city
the initials Of whom we will call R. K,
and the other G. R. S.-had some legal
business lately at Xenia, Green county.
They happened to fail in accidentally
with one Of General Grants negro del.
cations to the Philadelphia Convention.
Our legal friends were, Of course, bland
and polite to the distinguished strangers,
as they are bland and polite to every
body. In the course Of the converse,
ton some reference was made to poll
tics, whereupon a colored gentleman
from Louisiana, whose complexion was
hundred degrees darker than the
finest box of backing, said: Sab, |
understand, sab, that there is some op.
position to Grant, sab, in the North"
"Why, yes" responded Mr.. X, there
is some opposition North. We always
have two parties in this section
always more or less political feeling"
I'VE, sab, said the Louisiana delegate,
ode colored people are unanimously for
Grant. and it, sab, you white Northern
people don't favor him, we shall vote,
sab, for the reconstruction Of your
Northern States" 1t is needless to say
that Mr.. X. aud Mr.. S. Immediately

A Joke on the Jadge.

During the recent term Of the Circuit
Court in Upshur county, a little joke on
Judge Irvine trsnspired, which is
rather too good to be lost. Mr.
Irvine was delivering an opinion
on some point OF law, and his mind
altogether occupied by what be was
saying, when a loud braying noise near
at hand almost shook the pillars Of the
Temple of Justice. "Mr. Sheriff"
cried the Judge, bring that man into
Kote" The Sheriff departed on his
mission, but ascertained when he got
outside that it was mule that had so
raised Mr.. Irviue's ire. So of course
be returned without a prisoner. The
Judge seemed to have forgotten the
errand upon which he had sent the
Sheriff, and said nothing more upon the
subject, until the noise again broke
forth, louder and more distracring than
before. "Mr. Sheriff" said the judi e,
| tell you to bring that man into
Kotew Mr.. Heavier looked puzzled
for a moment, and then replied with
his usual politeuess, but with consider
able emphasis, Nudge, that man is a
muler' The "Kote," bar, suitors,
jurors and everybody else were con.
vulsed, and it was some time be'or
business could be proceeded WITH

"RlSGs." have heard not a little
about "rings"-principally from those
who have tried to form them. So far
as we know, and we are tolerably well
informed in regard to the movements Of
the politicians Of the State, those who
make the mos. complaint that others
have formed rings" are those who
most desire to do so for their own ben
eft. The biggest rascal always cries
stop thief" the loudest. We happen
to know that the charge has been made
against some who have persistently re
sisted all attempts to include them In
the combinations of political schemers.
This, perhaps, accounts for the malevo
lence with which they are assailed.-

Of the Custom house robberies and Jobs per-

nounced, on the Inman steamer, with the
intention of making q tour ain the Holy
Land" Il was not an uncommon thing
some centuries ago for high official rogues
to make pilgrimage to the Holy Land, by
way of expiating at a moderate expense
their successful rsscslity. 1t was even
thought good thing then for such person
ages TO perform their pilgrimEges by proxy
when circumstances made 1t difficult or dis
agreeable for them TO go in person. We
are not informed whether Colonel Leet now
| proceeds TO Palestine on his own account or
as the vicarious penitent OF the whole White
| House ring. In either case We may be sure,
however we suspect, that if he goes with
peas 10 his shoes he has taken care to have
them well boiled beforehand.
His departure is well timed. The Fhils-
