Overthrow of Satan and his Hosts.

Is the millennium coming, or what? A
man has actually been arrested for stealing
ten millions of dollars He has been held to
bail as if he were only vulgar rogue that
had stolen loaf of bread to save his family
from starvation Has it come to this? Has
the reform movement gained such impetus
that men who steal railroads are in peril al
so? Surely the world is moving faster than
usual when society in addition to the crimi-
nails it deliberately manufactures by suffering
them to remain in ignorance, poverty and dis
tress, or at best by educating them only in the
schools of vice called '.reformatories," jas
and prisons, Furnishes also those monsters OF
wickedness who make use of their intelli-
gence, culture, social standing and wealth to
plumber and harass mankind. Let
November 1872, be forever white
letter. month. The cool impassi-
BILE, soulless Mephistopheles of the Erie Ring
seems about to follow Fisk into the abyss.
All the old primeval Titans of fraud-mon-
sters that crept out of the slime left by the re-
ceding wave Of rebellion-are one by one
overthrown. Tweed, Connolly, Sweeney,
Hall, Fisk and Gould-Baal, Cog, Magog,
Ashtaroth, Loki, Juggernaut, Pluto and the
foul fiend Flibbertigiblt-are all dead OF mort
bund! Why, if this thing goes ON who can
tell if the sacred shoulder of Vanderbilt him
If or of pious Deacon Drew may not feel
le sheriff's electric tap? That would be q
iumph of nineteenth century civilization
.,orth talking about, to put man worth say
twenty-five millions in the Tombs for "con-
veying' few hundred miles of railroad.
And perhaps the consequences of the on
slaught on unprincipled railroad men in New
York may reach to all parts of the country.
Railroad managers everywhere are distin-
guished for their contempt for law. There
has come to be by convention new code of
morals that might be called railroad NOR
ais" in pursuance of which man may do,
without impairing in the least his respecta-
bility, things that would otherwise entitle
him to be classed with pickpockets. 1t is
time for this code to be repealed. 1t is time
for hook to be put in the nose of this hun
CRY monster, the railroad king, who has
usurped both the the executive and legisla-
tive functions of government. 1remblez,
tyrans! For the maker of railroad kings
has at last succumbed!

THE prompt action of the British govern

NAPoLEoN's PRIVATE BLLs.-The Indepesa-

lating to the liquidation of Louis Napoleons
civil list debts, which are not without interest
1t appears Them that Napoleon III owed 7,2O0,-
900 francs to all his creditors in Paris Put into
American money this amounts to 81, $40, OOO-
no doubt large sum, but not very exorbi-
tant amount for the sovereign of great and
powerful country. By the sale of his china,
glass; furniture, &C.. the sum of 81 100000 was
obtained, and the purchase money to be paid
for the hotel in the Rue de Courcelles, inhabit-
ed by the Princes Mathilde, which was private
inherited property of Napoleon's, will cover
the deficit of $240,000. When the private cred
itors are thus paid off to the last sous, the
State will take legal measures to get back a
sum of from 100000 to $80O,OO0 for money
paid to Napoleon LII in advance. Before he

MASSACHUSETTS INSURANCE BILL-The gen.
eral insurance bill which was passed to third
reading by the Massachusetts, Senate Monday,
and which is likely to become law without
amendment, plainly prescribes the steps to be
taken by those who wish to form an insurance
company, either joint stock or mutual, the cap
ital of the former of which must be Lot less
than 100000, and of the latter guarantee cap
itaD of between 100000 and $500, 900, divided
into shares of 800 each. The fixing of these
limits of capital is doubtless based upon the ex-
perience of companies hitherto, although it is
deserving of consideration whether the new sys-
tenn, if it is to go into force will not be likely
to vary the conditions somewhat in this respect.
The other conditions in regard to organization
appear to be judicious. 1t is provided that the
dividends in mutual companies shall be limited
to four per cent. semi-annualy, if the net prof
it is sufficient to pay it. Three-fourths of the
net profit, after paying the dividends, shall be
divided among the insured, and the other fourth
invested as reserve for their security, except
when it exceeds five per cent on the amount
insured, when the excess is to be divided Pro-
visions are also made for keeping up the guar
antee capital. In joint stock companies the di-
rectors may he elected from the stockholders or
policy holders, not less than one-half being the
holders of stock.
