and peaceful methods which are efectual
among ourselves. The English leaders of
this movement will weaken their power
over their own class, besides damaging
their influence with all classes, by making
themselves the preachers of a Polish war,
and proposing a universal Revolution.
We make allowance for the enthusiasm
which, at the outset of a political career,
magnifes objects and exaggerates means.
But there are few elements in the cal
culation which escape the straining gaze
of these visionaries. One would think.
to read through this narrative, that the
whole world was divided between a few
capitalists and landowners on one side,
and the working classes on the other, and
We are at a loss to discover what place
will be left in the future millennium of
labor for those professional and CONNER
cial classes, who count for something in
the constitution of society. English life
is founded on too solid base to be over
thrown in the interest of any single class.
But all classes are now anxious, beyond
all other things, to do all that can be done
by wise Legislation for the very ends pro-
posed by the International Association, so
far as they are practical. If Mr. Odger
and Gis friends would secure the benefits
which are within their power in England,
they would afford a guidance to their
friends abroad which would do far more
to help them out of their confusion than
those "pet plans of clever thinkers" which
they begin by distrusting, and end by
adopting.

JOHN AcKEAGUE rs. J. r. HELEN
ALLEN, c. j.:
This case comes up on appeal from the Police
Justice of Honolulu.
An action for money had and received was
brought against the defendant, for money receiv-
ed by him from the plaintiff on account of pre-
MUM on application for a policy of insurance on
the life of said plaintiff, to the Mutual Life In
surance Company Of New York." and the Police
Justice ruled that if the agent exceeded his
authority, alleged by the plaintiff, in giving re-
ceipt for the money paid by him, the remedy
would be, action on the case, and not assumpsit
for money had and received, and on this ground
the nonsuit was entered
When one has received the money of another,
and has not the right to retain it, the law implies
that he will pay it over. Lade5itatus Assumpsit,
for money had and received by the defendant, to
the use of the plaintiff, is the proper form of ac
tion for money so received. This is general
principle of law, and the statute does not conflict
with it.
IN addltlo0, the statute does not require rlgld
forms of pleading in the Courts not of record,
for amendments can be made at any stage Of the
proceedings when the justice of the case requires
it. We are Of opinion, therefore, that the Police
Magistrate erred in ordering Non Suit
The second ground of nonsut was, that the ac-
ton should have been brought against the New
York Mutual Life Insurance Company" and not
against the present defendant, he being only an
agent of said company. The Court are not salts
fed from the case as presented that the agent
acted within the authority as given him by the
company. If he exceeded it, he is of course liza
BILE, unless it should be proved that his acts were
recognized by the company, and without deceit
or detriment to the plaintiff.
In view of all the circumstances of the case,
we deem it our duty to set aside the nonsuit and
order the case back to the Police Magistrate for
trial

prosperity, and that war is its greatest
foe. Spain was at one time the greatest
empire in the civilized world, and domi-
mated both Europe and America with the
same strong power But wars Of aggres-
sion and conquest proved as much Of q
drain upon her resources as wars Og inva-
sion had done previously. The wars Of
Charles the Fifth were a terrible trial upon
the resources Of Spain, happening at the
same time with the great emigration to
America. No nation can for long period
engage in such contests without either
overlooking its own people with taxation
or levying enormous fines upon the con
quered nations, as was done by Rome and
afterward by Napoleon, and now by Ger
many.
In our own case we clearly see how
much we have lost by the ravages OF four
years of civil war, and there can be no
question that if we had as much of it as
Mexico suffers under, our progress would
be no greater than hers. As regards the
blighting effects of religious intolerance
and persecution, the lesson Of Spanish his
tory speaks trumpet-tongued- And yet
there are scarcely any of the Roman Cath
Ole journals or magazines issued in this free
Republic that does not defend the most
extreme tenets of ultra-montanism, and
oppose all efforts to spread liberal institu-
tions in the Catholic countries Of Europe.
1t is very true that all religions have
spice of intolerance about them whenever
they are in power sufficiently to bring it
out. But, taking things as we find them,
there seems to be no reason to apprehend
peril from the ascendancy of Protestant
ism at present, however there may have
been in the past. Let us hope the day
may not be far distant when we may be
able to say the same of the Latin, Greek
and all other Churches, for there can be
no worse foe of all true religion than in
North AB,e,iean.

LIFE Insurance Companies are among
the most remarkable institutions Of our
day. The extent of their operations is
amazing. The ability with which they
are managed astonishes the most skillfuI
financiers. Many good people have OBJ
jected to employing them, as though it
were distrusting Providence Yet il is
no more so than is investing money in
land or stocks, in which the whole sum
required is not demanded at once. a
thousand men agree TO put a Thousand
dollars piece into \ y Life Insurance
Company" on certain conditions. First,
that each man at his death shall receive
his investment-with what it has earned
or lOst-for his family. Second, that AZ
all the money is not Immediately required,
he need only pay certain per centage
annually. Now the tables Of life Stats
tics are so exact, that it is possible to IN
fer exactly how many Of the depositors

million Of dollars demanded viii be paid

penses, and establish 4 permanent fund.
There is no hazard or distrust Of Provi-
dence in the transaction. The only dan
ger is that a man may be tempted to IN
vest more than he can afford, in the same

boes Back on Itself.

The Supreme Court of Ohio has
promulgated its dececision in the case
Of Reamer VS. Bennett, of Montgome-
ry County, contested election. which
reverses the lower Court, and declares
that the inmates of the Soldiers Home,
near Dayton, are residents of the State
and County, and entitled to vote. By
this act the Court virtually masticates
and swallows its own record. The
decision is delivered by Justice Welch
q candidate for reelection upon the
Republican state ticket, and it is the
price paid by him for another lease
upon his position. The Supreme
Court of Ohio has for years been the
refuge of cheap political lawyers, and
has been run exclusively in the inter-
est of the Republican party.

WE submit says the Washington
Patriot, that the Democrats have q
right to demand of the Liberals an
exhibition of their resources before
forming any copartnership. If all the
banking is to be done on our capital
of three millions, then there is no good
reason why we should not at least
choose a President after our own
heart. What is the inducement to go
outside if no strength is to be added
to the concern? The decision of this
great question may be said to rest
measurahly with the Liberal Republic
cans. If they are able to show the
country before the meeting of the Bal
timore Convention that they are the
power they claim to be, but have as
yet failed to establish, it would GER
tainly furnish an argument to the
Democrats who have insisted upon
the expediency of endorsing that
ticket. If they remain passive, and
content themselves with calling upon
Hercules for aid, they are very likely
to get the answer which Hercules
gave to the indolent WAGNER.
