INSURANCE COMPANIES.

The Insurance Companies are coming
through the FIRE much better than it was
supposed they would. The reports indi-
cate that but few outside of Boston will
be unable to pay their losses and have to
suspend business. Fortunately there was
considerable insurance in Offices in Eng
land, which will distribute the burden
where it may be more easily carried and
relieve the pressure at home, According

TUE INDIdN POLIC +.

Mr.. Felix Brunot, chairman Of The
Board Of Indian Commissioners, has pub
lished letter in reference to the policy
of the President toward the Indians, which
that civilizing and Outstanding these
people is far better than fighting them.
That policy is defined, rs already well
known to the country. to be to deal justly
and mercifully with race of men, five
sixths of whom are thoroughly conquered,
submissive and dependent, and 10 raise
them in the scale of humanity. by means
of the influences above mentioned, to pro-
tect the lines and property of our own peo-
pie upon the frontiers. to render safe the
occupancy of all the territory of the United
States not already granted to the Indians,
and to secure honesty in the expenditure
of the Indian appropriations. TO accom-
plish this work the validity of treaties and
honorable compliance with them upon
both sides is insisted upon; to subject the
submissive and we.l-inclined tribes TO civ
lizing influences and instruction, and TO
encourage the missionary efforts OF Chris
tan people in their behalf; to appoint
honest agents, and to protect peaceabla
tribes from the outrages Of thieves and
desperadoes. and not 10 abet aggressors or
give pretext for war. Where these meth
DDS arc found Intellectual, as with bands
that persistently go upon the war-path.
the policy is to pursue them with the ut
most rigor of punishment, just a. white
murderers arc pursued and punished he
ing careful, however, not to punish the
innocent for the guilty.
The result OF the adoption o. this policy
is the saving Of millions OF money already
10 the Government, and its operation is
regarded with gratifying prospect of sue
cess. Even among the most savage tribes
it has kept thousands Of Indians from out
break, when otherwise it is almost GER
tain they would have been with hostile
bands, numbering and maraudng
The Christian denominations %, tho
country will, it is hoped, continue their
aid and countenance in behalf OF policy
which is basedupon such cminently sound
principles, and The success of which must
be lasting honor 10 the country
The members of the Board are earnest
" and thoroughly in favor of this policy
and believe the thinking people of the
country must agree with them in sustain
ing it. 1t is a policy which is worthy of
a civilized and enlightened age. Bcstow
punishment where it is demanded, and
bestow it promptly. Protection to white
settlers is as much part of the policy as
that of mercy and elemency toward the
Indian. They need not be opposed one
TO the other. And it certainly reflects far
greater credit upon the nation than the
policy Of utter determination, advocated |
by some.
The Board OF Commissioners, whose
eminent character for integrity and un-
selfish patriotism can not be impcached,
are rendering valuable service to the
country in their successful efforts 10 pro-
mote this policy.

FACTS AND COMMENTS .tBOFT THE
FIRE

The loss in buildings and goods is estima-
mated at from $50, 1000, 900 to Sl00, 900 900.
The Boston Advertiser censures the man
agement at the fire. 1t says; son such a
night it should have been impossible for fire
10 get beyond the control OF force as pow
erful as was at the chiefs command at mid.
night. When ii got beyond control, and wa.
ter ceased to be Of any avail, there was but
one resource, and that was-powder. And
an officer in command at such time should
lave had the courage to use as much of it as
vas necessary to stop the progress of the
danes. We appreciate the difficulties of the
situation, and the tremendous weight of re-
possibility which attaches to il. But it is
impossible to disguise the fact that there was
dilatoriness and indecision, where there should
have been promptness, frmness and single
purpose to stop the fire AT whatever nccessa-
ry cost
The Boston journal say: lit would sp-
pear that while We have gained in some di.
rections toward security from fires in our
city architecture, we have neglected impor-
tant requisites in others. Flames do not run
along our streets, as they did in Chicago, but
they leap from roof to roof Of inAammablc
materials. often beyond the reach Of the en-
gines, which, however, even where they can
throw 10 the requisite hight, are of little
avail when the air has become so heated tina,
water is instantly turned into yapor and ev-
erything combus.ible is as finder
The height OF the buildings was one ct tht
greatest advantages the fire had. The
streams Of water from the engines failed t.
reach SO high and the flames went on un
checked The Mansard roofs have fallen il
the estimation of Boston since the FIRE.
There are two theories about the origin oI
the FIRE, One is that the fire originated in
the basement, from the furnace and another
that it was ignited in the third story, Of the
building corner Of Summer and Kingston
streets. The first seems the most plausible
one. The building was heated by steam,

Execution OF bartholomew Barnes
at Pittsfeld, Illinois.
ST. LOUIS December 30.-Thc RcpuJli-
can has special from Hannibal, Missouri,
giving an account of the hanging Of Bar
tholomew Barnes at Pittsfeld, Pike Co.,
Illinois, yesterday, for the murder OF John
Grisham, in Calhoun county, last Feb
ruary.
The murder was committed in the man.
ner and under circumstances rs follows
Barnes and Grisham had a difficulty some
weeks previous 10 the murder, and Barnes
then threatened 10 tear Grislam's heart
out. On the eth OF February, they
crossed the river from Clarksville togeth-
er. Grisham was in n wagon with hissDn
Of fifteen years of age, and was drunk.
Barnes was on foot. On leaving the land.
Ing Barnes asked TO ride, and on promis.
ing to behave himself consent was given.
Barnes and Grisham sat together on Il
board. Before they had proceeded far
they got into quarrel. Barnes rose up,
made an offensive remark, and caught
Grisham and jumped out OF the seat. The
board tipped and GrishNm fell on the op-
posite side and laid on his back near
fence. Barnes ran 10 him, stGadied HIM
self by holding to the fence and delibGr.
ately stamped him TO death, crushing his
skull and mutilating his face beyond re.
cognition. Mr.. Tyler, who saw the dread.
ful work OF death, called TO Barnes to
desist, and thcmurdcrcr jumped the fence
and fled. MIR. Tyler pursued and captured
him, and lound blood, brains and hair
adhering to his boot heels. The case was
tried at tho December term, and after a
very brief retirement the jury returned n
verdict oi guilty.
The prisoner, although only nineteen
years old, betrayed no emotion during the
trial and manifested no concern for his fu.
ture until a lew days ago. Yesterday ho
became penitent and stated that he killed
Grisham, but did not intend to take his
life, and that whisky was the cause.
At two o'clock he was taken from tho
cell 10 the gallows in one corner Of the
Jail. He mounted the steps firmly and
faced the spectators without moving a
muscle. Rev. Jobnsey offered prayer,
the prisoner at the same timc besceching
Gods forgiveness. Rising to his feet he
said: II believe God has pardoncd my
sins and forgiven me. thank Mr., simp-
kins for being kind TO me. l hope
no other man will ever be hung for MUIR
der"
After shaking hands with the sheriff,
jailor, ministers and doctors he asked per-
mission to pray again, and offered up a
touching and earnest petition, which aG.
lectcd oil who heard It. HerOse, stepped
on the platform, took the moose in his
hands and examined it. While his hands
and feet were being bound he prayed
earnestly. The moose was placed around
his neck and the black cap pulled overhis
face, while he cried "God savo my soul"
Tho drop fell at 2:25 and he was prcct-
pitated five feet, tho force breaking his
neck and producing death almost instant
". AT quarter TO . o'clock the ply
sicians made an examination, and pro
nounced him dead. Hc was cut down
and placed in a colIiu and delivered 10 his
mother for burial.
