TIE JNSUPdNCE CASE.


The investigation very properly ordered into
the management of the Department OF In
srlrance by Superintendent Miller draws to a
close. There has been much hard swearing,
and considerable testimony which shed no
light on the real matter in dispute. Many
officers of Insurance Companies testified under
evident cOnstraint, seeming anxious to say
as little as possible, and to provoke
no resentment on the part OF author
ity. We have meant to give all the facts
elected, but a crowd of other matter may
have at times prevented our doing so.
The impression made on our mind by the
general drift of the testimony is, that Mr.
Miller has rendered his Office more expensive
and oppressive to the Life Insurance Com
panies than it need or should have been,
and that many of them live in constant
terror Of his autOcratic powers. 1t seems
to us that all the good to be achieved
through his Office need not cost half the money
his examiners and other subordinates have
exacted. And we are not satisfied with the
payment of twenty per cent commission
on his printing by Weed Parsons & Co. to
Southwick. 1t is not proved that Miller
profted by this; ; it is not probable that Par"
sons paid it without pretty good assurance
that there was reason for it. On the whole, 1t
is our opinion that Mr.. Miller is not the man
required for his most responsible position

INTERNATTON CONGRESS OF REFORM
An International Congress is soon to be held
in London, comprising representatives of all
civilized nations, to further the cause of Prison
Reform. The idea of such Congress, We are
clad to state originated in this country, and
the Inauguration and arrangement OF it de-
wolves upon our Commissioners yet, while
other nations have entered into the scheme
with zeal and eagerness, very few OF our
people at home have probably ever heard of
it. The Act of Congress authorizing a
Commission to such Congress, and giving the
arrangement of it into their hands, passed in
March, 1871, and o Commissioner was appointed
by the President, who at once proceeded to
communicate either personally or through our
representatives with the European and South
American Powers, inviting them to take part
in this Parliament. Each nation was requested
to send o Commission from the Govern
ment, National Committee from the people,
and to furnish accurate information relative to
it's prisons and prison administration. The Re-
port of the Commissioner is now before us. He
states that in England, while the Government
did not pledge itself 20 representation, CO.
operation in different ways was promised, and
q large National Committee named. In France
tho idea was warmly welcomed, and delegates
appointed. Belgium, Switzerland, and Holland,

1t is calculated that 900 tuns of rails are
annually required merely to keep in fair con-
dition the present Railroads of our country;
but, as the old rails are rerolled into new
ones, perhaps 100000 tuns of new iron will
suffice to keep up the present tracks; but we
want nearly 100000 tuns more for the
construction of new and the extension
