Tie Prompt Commissioners Of the Nel York Life
Insurance Department thus report Of the
security:
We now come to a brilliant, onward, approved embodiment
OF American Life Insurauc-the Security Life Insurance Com
pany Of New York. A pEtician would say, the Security is
The peoples choice. 1t hs certainly strong popular endorse
ment. By the Atlantic, ne Mississippi, and the Pacific, the
voice OF thousands speakit fair. The Security attained the
greatest increase OF annual business in 1870 over 1869 Of all
the life COMPANIES Of the United States. When this Is cOnSid-
cred In connection with the past progress Of the otlce, its
future rank on the life rolls q subject Of no difficult conjecture.
Even with the additions & 1870 there is no disprOportioHate
outgrowIh. II has been rEularly built up to the present pro-
portion, not suddenly projected forward. 1t has passed ahead
Of other companies by theiue operation and momentum OF it's

GLADSTONE, PUNCH & Co.
This is our BILL

w ~ W
The SOUTHERN RAILRoAD.-The San Diego
onion Of Feb. 18th, says: We publish to-day
the cheering news that Col. Thos. y. Scott has
been chosen President Of the Texas Pacific Rail
road Company, in place of Mr.. Marshall o. Rob-
erts, who has resigned. 1t appears that the
differences in the Board of Directors concerning
the merging of the franchises and other property
of connecting lines into the Texas Pucific, have at
last been settled, and that henceforward there
will be unity of purpose and action on the part
Of the managers of the enterprise. 1t will be
remembered that we have heretofore predicted
the result announced in our kilograms to-day.
We have felt sure that Col. Scott would assume
the control of the Thirty-second parallel road,
from the time that he joined Messrs. Fremont and
Roberts to secure the passage of the bill. When
the bill passed, the construction Of the Texas
Pacific road was assured. Since that time we
have not entertained a particle Of doubt npOn the
subject. Col. Scott and his friends are in nowise
responsible for the delay in commencing opera
tons. As Gen. Rosecrans says they are strictly
railroad building and operating people, prompt
to move the moment business can be done" W.
think that moment has now arrived. With Those
y. Scott at the head of the Company there will
be no unnecessary delay in beginning active op-
e~ratiOns and the road will be built with unex-
ampled rapidity. If Gen. Sedgwick's surveys Of
tie route to the Colorado are adopted-as we
suppose will be the case-there will be no diff
Guilty In completing fifty miles of road east from
San Diego within the time required by law.

Punch's Bill Against Brother JohnathaI
for Indirect Damages.

Mr.. Punch, considering it his duty to step for
ward at the present moment, and to suggest an
easy ard honorable arrangement of the American
question, has prepared the following schedule of
English claims for compensation. 1t is manifest
that they are all absolutely just, and he is sure
that the American Government will admit that
fact. Therefore, all that remains to be done is
this Let Hamilton Fish append his signature,
and the words All right" (he may add old
hoss,' or not, as he may think the American
nation would desire), and then the two Govern
ments have but to exchange receipts for their
respective claims
