Politics Last Night.

Ias5 night politics had reached point
verging on stagnation A few Republican
clubs meto Some few were entertained by
addresses, but in most of them no business
of Importance transpired. A few Demo
cratic. clubs met. Messrs. Jonas, Wagga-
man and others were announced to address
the Chanticleer Club, and large crowd
was attracted. A Democratic mass meet
ing was held at the corner of Washington
avenue andMorales street, in the Third Dis
tric+e A Reform club met at the corner of
jackson and Freret streets, in the Fourth
Districte An adjourned meeting of the
Democratic-L c-LiberalReformc conference com
mittees was held at the St. Louis Hotel, in
which the question of the congressional
nomination for the first district was being
arranged, with what result has not become
known.
The chief question discussed on the
streets and in public places is whether the
Democrats will meet the Liberals and Lib
eral Republicans in proper spirit of con
ciliation in the matter of city and parocbiaI
nominations, No satisfactory intimation
has been given in this respect as yet, and
it is intimated that the conference parish
committees have as yet achieved no results.

The st. Louis Times of the fourth instant
reports a case of especial interest to policy
holders in the Etna Life Insurance Com
pany This is the report:
A bill in equity has been filed in the
United States Circuit Court by William S.
Field and Mary K. Field, his wife, against
the Atna Life Insurance Company, of Hart
ford, Connecticut. The bill sets forth that
dofendantissu on the tbirtieth of Novem-
Der, 1865, an insurance policy on the life of
Mr.. Field, whereby the company, in con-
sideration of 1874 20 to them paid by Mrs.
Field, and of the premium OF like amount,
to be paid on the thiItieth of November
annually thereafter during the term of ten
years, insured the life Of Mr.. Field, for the
separate use and benefit of his wife in the
sum of $4,000, and further agreed that in
the event Of the policy lapsing from non
payment OF premiums, after two annual
payments should be made, TO issue a paid
up policy for two-tenths of the amount
insured. or if three payments were
made to issue paid up policy Of three
tenths, and so on, according to the number
Of payments made. The bill further al
Ieges that after six annual premiums were
paid, Mr. Field demanded paid up policy
for six-tenths Of the amount insured, which
the agent of the company agreed to give,
but which the company has since refused to
90; ana 1urJler alleSeS That the agent prom
Ised that if the seventh premiu1a were paid
the original policy would be reinstated, that
such premium was thereupon rendered to
said agent, but that the same was refused
and that the policy has not been reinstated
or paid up policy issued. Plaintiffs, there
fore, pray that the company be decreed to
refund the entire amount Of the premium
paid, with interest thereon, amounting in
whole to about $4,000, or that the court viii
adjudge tho company to make and deliver
to plaintiffs paid up policy Of $4,000

AcadRSnv- nf Music.

This popular place of amusement opened
last night with the regular dramatic com
pany secured by Manager BidweIi for the

the favorites Of last season, among them
Miss Louise Hawthorn, Mr. j. Wesley Hill

There was large and fashionable aUs
dience present last night to witness the per
formaDce of the grand fairy comedy entitled
''The Palace oS Truth, ;" in which the new
company appears to great advantage The
high encomiums passed upon the piece by
the press of Europe and this country had
raised Ou1o expectation of its merits to- a
high degree but we confess the wit
Messing of "the great London sensation"
as performed at the academy last
night, occasioned US no disappointment.
The play is we'll calculated to amuse
and instruct an intelligent and refined au-
sdience, being well written, well conceived,
and not without wholesome moral. There
are some palpable hits at the frailties of
poor human nature in it, and they are given
in rich and strong language. The play is
presented in the usual elegant style of Man
ager BidwelI, SO as far as rich scenery,
splendid costumes and other appurtenances
that are necessary to give proper effect to
fairy representations. "The Palace of
Truth is well worth seeing, and must meet
with favor.

The selection of Major Jones is very ex-

Judgment of Mr.. Bayley, who strives to do
everything that will promote the interests
of the public and the road he represents.
The travelling public and the merchants
who send freight over tie New Orleans and

such management as will promote low
faras, high rate of speed, cheap freights
and the rapid transmission of merchandise.

A Burlington dispatch of the eighth instant
states that semi-officiaI returns of all but
four small towns give Converse a, ,222 votes
and Gardner l6,604. Converse's majority
25,6l8. The remaining towns gave, in
1870, Ito Republican majority. The Senate
is unanimously Republican, and the House
stands-Republicans 2O6; GreeIeyites 81,
In 1870 the Democrats had two Senators
and twenty-nine Representatives.
As compared with the vote for Grant in
1868, which was 80. 1879, it will be seen that
the Republican loss is more than $780, The
same comparative loss on the Republican
vote might in some States, change the re-
