Meeting OF the New York Underwriters
Xesterday--What They Think of Lit-
iEution in Times of Great Fires.
New YORK. Nov. 16.-The Fire Underwriters
to-day adopted resolutions expressing their con-
Vlctlons that the laws Of this State, requiring
an official examination by the Superintend-
ent Of the Insurance Department, into
the actual condition Of the mpanies,
afford ample protection to the rights Of
policy-holders. The resolutions also declare
that when company becomes embarrassed in
consequence Of extensive CONGREGATIONS, as at
Chicago and Boston, judicial Interference on the
complaint Of 3 claimant for loss or of individual
from continuing business, and appointing . re,
is inimical to the best interests of
the claimants and stockholders; and,
finally, that Judicial .ction upon an "a perte
pursuing itn business, either becomes, or is sup
posed to be, embarrassed BY the occurrence Of
exceptionally large fires, would inflict wrong
upon honest claimants and the stockholders,
and would be lAble to involve substantial COM
pa1ies in serious loss, and eyen tend to produce
bankruptcy unnecessarily.

Special Despatch to The chieugo Tribune.
New York, NOV. 16.-The news from Albany
indicates that Roscoe Conkling will be reelected
to the United States Senate without serious op-
position. As far as canvassed, nearly all the
Republican members are for him, while Morgan
is not believed to have strength in any quarter.
Thurlow Weed and Dix. are supposed to lead one
Republican wing, while Conk]ing and the Gus
tom House command the other. The question
OF supremacy between these folowines must be
settled before the general line of operations can
be determined
The Democrats feel rather mournful over the
heavy spols captured by the Republicans in this
state. Governor Dix will appoint new Adju-
tant General and fourteen officers on his mill
taty staff. he will also select a Loan Commits
sloner and 1lotaries for each county, and I'll w.
