INSURANCE BUSINESS IN INASSA-
CHTSETTS.
CHUSETTS

From the annual report of The Mas sachu-
sets Insurance Commissioners, says the Bos-
ton Traveller, it appears that the number of
fire and marine insurance companies author
lied to do business in this Commonwealth is
now 1873, or IL less than at the close of the
previous report. OF those in existence one
year ago "a voluntarily withdrew, and 81 9TH
ers were involved in the results of the Chica-
60 fire and closed their doors Of the twenty
nine companies which have been authorized
to begin business during the year, two are
new companies in this State; sixteen came to
the State for the first time; four return to the
State after having voluntarily withdrawn );
and seven have recognized their old titles,
with new capital, viz: The Etna of New
York, Connecticut Fire, Market, Lorilard
Washington, Atlantic of Brooklyn, and the
New York and Yonkers, the latter reversing
its original name.
The whole amount of outstanding risks held
by these companies is about seven millions of
dollars less than at the close of the previous
year, but the Massachusetts companies still
doing business show an actual increase of
risks of more than eighty millions over 1870,
their present outstanding risks being nearly
nine hundred millions.
The statements submitted show that the
home mutuals have surplus as regards poll
cy holders Of upwards OF 100 per cent, and
the joint stock companies upwards of l03 per
cent.
The premiums paid to companies from
abroad during the year 1871 amounted to up.
wards of $4,00O,000. Five Massachusetts
companies are now in the hands of receivers,
three of them having become insolvent on ac-
count of the Chicago fire. But little progress
has been made in the settlement of the affairs
Of the Monitor Mutual Fire Company of Bos-
ton, and the suits against the Shawmut Mutu-
al Company still remain in the docket.

CONDITION or THE SOUTH

| The report of Attorney General Williams
in response to a resolution of the House o.
Representatives shows that sol persons were
arrested in South Carolina in pursuance OF
the act of Congress of April, 1871, and that
% confessed in open court that they were or
had been members of the combinations and
conspracies forbidden and made penal by
said act. In North Carolina 81 persons were
convicted or pleaded guilty CT violations of
the law; 944 persons were convicted for SIM
liar violations; l52 persons have been indict-
ed IN Southern and 4S0 in the Northern Dis
trict of Mississippi. United States Attorney
Wharton, for the Kentucky district, says all
lawless organizations in that State have been
broken up by the force of public sentiment,
by arrest, and vigorous prosecutions under
the Civil Rights bill in the Federal courts
lie has succeeded in breaking up the Ku-Klux
organization in Franklin, Oldham, and Estill
counties, where many outrages were commit

not say there is as much protection for life
and property in Kentucky as is to be desired.
The United States District Attorney for the
Western district of Arkansas says crime is

Try, caused, no doubt, by the large number of

increased facility for the introduction of spir-
ituous liquors. Every effort, however. has

now NEG OTLA TIONS PROGRESS.

All that has been done at Cincinnati to
leave principles in the background and
bring unity to beat Grant will never be
known outside of the rings assembled
there. The shrewdest workers among the
old political hacks seeking new deal
gave their experience and ability to the
task. Conference after conference was
held. The real difficulty of the undertake
ing seemed rot to have been fully under
stood until the clans met face to face. No
doubt Mr.. Greeley supposed the manifesto
published in the Tribune had settled the
matter in his way, and probably the reve-
nue. rcformers thought they would carry
the convention with but little effort on the
ideas adopted in Missouri
But when they met on the spot both
| were speedily undeceived. They found
that bargain must be made, that princi-
pies must be sacrificed, or there could be
no progress. One of the propositions SUBJ
mitted by the Greeley wing as comprom-
Use plank for the platform was as follows
Resolved, That, finding ourselves not fully
agreed with respect to free trade as opposed
to protection, we respectfully commend the
grave issue involved in that controversy to
the careful study and unbiased adjudication
of the people, urging them to choose men,
bers of Congress who truly embody and will
faithfully reflect their will on that subject,
pledging ourselves that that will, when thus
authoritatively made known, shall be impli-
city obeyed.
| Mr.. Greeley undoubtedly had in view
when debating this resolve the defeat
which the republ can free traders in New
York gave him when running for Con-
gress in 1870, and intended to provide
againsta similar result at any future time
should he run again. The adoption of this
resolve previously to that election would
have held the free traders to his support
and he could have whipped Cox and won
a seat in Congress. But the resolve was
not swallowed by the conference On the
other side the following resolve was pre-
sented
Resolved, That no form of taxation is just
or wise which puts needless burdens upon the
people. We demand genuine reform of the
tariff, so that those duties shall be removed
which, in addition to revenue yielded to the
Treasury, involve an increase in the price of
domestic products and consequent taxation
for the benefit of favored interests.
This was also rejected in conference. 1t
is the same as the Missouri platform
Though not very clearly OF neatly worded
it contains language obnoxious to protec-
tionists. 1t is reported that this or some
thing like it will be adopted by the con-
vention, in which event, of course, Mr..
Greeley will take his carpet-bag and make
a Decline for the Tribune office, there
to repudiate and denounce the convention
which he spared no pains to warm into
life.
THE probability is however that the re-
solve will be ingeniously wrought into
such shape that it will satisfy both sides,
but what that condition will be no one can
understand. If the Greeley men are driv-
en- out of the convention by the resolution
it might as well not have assembled. What
will crusade against Grant amount to

|. Ii is SO constructed that one-third more Of
the radiutng surface extends into the room. CIV
ing that much more additional heat without eX-
ira fuel.
.. 1t is the only IIot-Air Fireplace Heater in
the market. Like the regular built cellar heater,
it loses no heat, but confines il all TO its legti
purposes.
3. The fuel magazine is double the usual size,
extending from the hrc-boX to the top of the
stove, with capacity for twenty-tour hours sup
ply of coal.
1. The patent double cover for coal magazine
consumes the gas, prevents escape of gas into
the room, and makes it impossible for any puff
fngs or explosions to occur. This is an advant-
agc possessed by no other Fireplace stove in the
market.
>. There are three air ceambers, wherein a
brisk circulation is kept mp, drawing the cold air
in the room through heated tlucs into a large
hot-ar reservoir, at the back of the stove.
No side pipes are used, the air is heated
in Il reservoir having double radiating fues and
double back, supplying large quantities of hot
airwithout waste of heat or fuel.
Z. The SUNNYsIDE utilizes the waste heat so
thoroughly that We frequently heat an adjoining
room on the first, besides heating the rooms in
second and third stories.

with the hot air ilues, controls the quantity of
