From the above items of expense
we find that S19,815 46, or 36 per
cent. of entire premium receipts for
the year arc required to pay officers
salaries and fees; also the sum of
S14,592 06, or over 20 per cent ofen-
tire premiums, paid in commissions
to agents and brokers. The other
items ofexpense for the year, amount
ing to $3.50 81, swallows the re-
naming premium receipts, and still
not dollar of the losses for the year
paid-and this claim alone amounts
to S129,764 SO. Coupled with thu
Statement of the Company, we find
this sentence in italics "The ratio
of expense to receipts does not deter

From tho above expense items we
conclude that the officers believe Just
what they say, and must practice in

economy, as they further inform us
that "nc officer has ever got rich Out

Land over its deathly portals.
The New York World furnishes Us with
this news from our Peruvian refugees, and
strange to say no accusing conscience &ei-

minds they poisoned with their pe.ricious
teachings until they fed from a land they
the South was ready at one time to seeis
in selt-banishmeDt the safety and peace that
they were told could nc longer be found
in the United States. And now the same
terrible stories are repeated to distract and
unsettie other weak and unrefectirg citi-
zens. Night and morning the dismal
song is sung that the country IS being
ruined, liberty is being tralnpled under
foot, ignorance is being put above intelli-
gence, vice raised above virtue. All Of
which is false, or else the men who say so
are false to their own honor and selt-re-

tleir families beyond the reach Of the des-

about. Verify it is heavy load they have

SOME SENS o. Rim.

Despite the regular ration Of impending
ruin which is doled out to Us morning and
evening by the Democracy and its friends,
the disposition to invest IL eligible real es-
tate, and % improve the same. seems to be
in mood to grow better day by day.
There is, really, vast deal of healthy
growth visible in the suburbs Of the city.
Houses are being built, lots ale being
fenced, old buildings being renovated, new
squares are Continually being reclaimed
from waste and idJeness. How are We to
interpret these signs but as contradictions
Of the decadence and desolation that are
asserted Of the city. Turn in whatever
way we may, the hand Of the mechanic is
lifted in protest against the declaration
that New Orleans is finished and ready for
fencing 1t is pleasant to see these evil
dences Of prosperity after being told d.
least twice before three o'clock that we axe
ruined.

POLITICAL LESSONS.

: revolution similar to that which oc-
cured in New York when the Tammany
Democracy was beaten, las just taken
place IN Cincinnati against the Repub-
licans, which goes to show that the people
are really recovering that Independence
which they partially abdlcated during the
rebellion. Cincinnati is a Republican
city, and ought TO elect Republicans at
every election, as it did in the municipal
contest last year, and in the guberna. orial
contest this year. But at the election on
Monday last the Democrats carried the
day by an average majority in favor Of its
candidates Of four thousand votes. The
reason Oh this IS easily explained. The
Republicans allowed their nominating
conventions to be controlled by certain
ward politicians against whom the better
portion Of tie people were greatly preju-
diced. The Cincinnati C6mmercia!, the
strongest Republican paper in Ohio, and
probably il the West, deliberately advised
lis friends to vote the Democratic ticket il
the interest OF good government, and it
was seconded in this independent course
OF action by tie best Republicans in the
city. Hence the result. The case is i)aral-
leled IN New York, where lifelong Demo-
Gratis voted against their own party ticket,
because the nominees were not worthy Of
confidence. As We do not claim that the
election in New York was a permanent and
enduring Republican success, so the Demo-
Gratis must 10. claim that their triumph in
Cincinnati viii follow them hereafter Both
Of these revolutions are to be attributed to
the good sense Of that large class Of citi-
zens in the North, who refuse to vote for
man that they despise as dishonest. even
when ne is tie candidate Of their own
party. They put thsir duty before their
party, and love their country more than
they do their conventions. When the
politicians allow dishonest men to control
the organizations from which they expect
promotion, they commit a crime and
mistake, for they betray the interests of
the community and pave the way to their
own defeat. Witness New York and Gin
cinna;i as proofs Of what We say.

low TIE BLIND HAVE FaLLEN.

After the war Of the rebellion closed GER
tain high-strung Southern people con-
Guided that they could no longer live in q
country that was subjected to the despot-
ism of governing itself Their self-respect
refused to maintain itself in e community
that allowed negroes all the rights Of citi-
zenship. Some of these people went to
Brazil where they proposed 70 regain their
favorite institution Of slavery il bloom as
it had hourished in tie South. They had
to be brought home at the expense Of the
government they deserted and deaplsed.
Others went to Belize, Honduras, only TO
discover that there the negro was a greater
fayorite than they could ever hope 70 be.
Others went to Mexico, and were con-
founded by being subjected to negro
officers. A large colony sought comfort
and absence in Peru. The latest news
from this latter colony represents the
Southern fugitiyes in Peru as being il the
most torlorn condition. They never real
lied single blessing that they hoped for
in their flight. The climate was against
them, the language was against them, their
lack Of enterprise was against them, they
had 10 capacity to work, the wages were
merely nominal, the people were strangers
to them and to their ways Of life, and now
they constitute little colony in that far
off country that is really pitiable to look
upon. Most Of these Southerners have
