ElIHIS Society, which confines its bust
"a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
Of persons resident III the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that of
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and sulfi-
cient to create large surpIuycs, out of
which Reyersionary Bonuses, averaging
81 9 per cent per annuln upon the amount
assured have been distributed among the
Members Of the Society.
Its career, during Il period of 80 years
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of the
world, are, when carefully selected, almost
as valuable as those inhabiting Europe,
and that they do not demand such excess
sive Premiums as are charged by every
other Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life -

IMPORTATION OF CRIMINALS.

The importation of criminals to this
country from Europe still continues not
withstanding the efforts made TO prevent it.
The Philadelphia Gazette says Three
ticket-of-leave convicts from England have
been arrested in New York city in des-
titute condition and taken in charge by
the public authoities at the instance of the
Commissioners Of immigration. They had
been released from an English prison and
furnished with money to emigrate to the
United States. Each had been sentenced
10 seven years penal servitude; one for
theft, one for housebreaking. and the third
for attempted robbery, with violence.
They were sent TO America by the Prison
ser's Aid Society of Manchester, and land
ing in New York utterly destitute were fit
subjects Of new crime. This is the way
in which cur country has for years been
made the recipient of the refuse of Eu-
rope. Our cities swarm with foreign GRIM
inals and paupers. that in no proper sense
ought to be burdens upon the tax-oppress-
ed people of these communities. - o>..-
We regard with such profound satisfac-
ton the huge annual aggregates of for
eign immigrants, that We look into the
details, and fail to see how much we re-
ceive that is not only worthless but worse,
from being desperately hardened in. vice
and crime. Digniied foreign critics con-
template complacently the struggles of
these Atlantic ports with The evils under
which they labor, and fatter themselves
that, after all, our civilization produces no
better condition than their own, when, in
point of fact, the evils under which we
suffer are not the legitimate fruits Of our
civilization, but devolve upon us through
the chicanery of Europe. 1t is gross
outrage upon our people to make the
United States penal colony, as we see
these English authorities doing, and, as it
has been shown in other instances. that
the continental States also do. }3 sti
If some penal colony could be set apart
in some remote part of our distant terri
tories, the convict and pauper element OF
the foreign immigration might be shipped
thither and utilized under the auspices of
government officials. tits calculated that
a majority of all the foreign criminals who
find home becoming too hot for them,
through the watchfulness Of the police,
collect their resources and come to Amer
lea. These are persons who bring money
and it is therefore impossible to detect
them, because, not being in want they do
not come under the Supervision of the
Commissioners of Emigration. 1t is only
the jail-birds, such as these ticket-of-leave
men, who landed without means Of any
kind, fall under the notice of the authori-
ties. |isi

The New York Finaneier, a very able pa
per, commenting on the disposition mani
tested by portion Of the press to cry out
monopoly" whenever railroad interests are
brought before legislative bodies, says:
"Monopoles or no monopoles, our rail.
roads are of incalculable service to the coun-
try, and we do not believe in the assertion
that the whole nation is under the heel of the
railroad king. The indications of such a
thing are not sufficiently clear to US, and
even if they were, it would not be difficult to
point out remedy. 1t would be easy so to
surround the railroad corporations with lepis-
lative restrictions that they could exert no
pernicious influence. In this, as in every
other matter, the prevention Of abuses is in
the hands of the people, and for any wrong
which may be done they are chiefly respon.
sible. 1t is true that the immense wealth in
the hands of the corporations enables them
to execute schemes which would be otherwise
impossible; but are we grown so base that
the material for incorruptible legislatures and
an honest judiciary can no longer be found
among uss The railroad monopolies are not
yet SO dangerous to the country as many
would have us believe; what they may be-
come Is another and very different matter"

Mr.. KEEGAN proceeded to refute some of
the charges brought in the afhdavits, after
which he spoke upon what he conceived to
be the real question in the matter. lie said
he doubted whether members might not be-
lieve that the Committee on Elections, which
acting no doubt in good faith, had not at least
made a mistake in Judgment, and mistake
in law. 1t seems that the question is to be
tried, and he should far prefer trying it upon
a motion that the contestant be admitted to a
seat in this House. He had made no motion
of that kind, but the case was this
In the first place, the contestant had come
here by no counsel of his. He (Mr. Keegan)
might have said that he believed that the con-
testant, according to law, was entitled to a
place here, and had not he a pretty good
reason to do so when the judges of the Su-
preme Court upon their opinion to the Gov
ernor and Council of this State, have defeated
the man who received majority of sixty
six honest votes in Aroostook county for the
office of Sheriff. They counted out the plan
tation of Hamlin, that had cast a decided ma
jority for the democratic candidate for Sheriff,
because they claimed that the returns were
all signed by one man, and that man at the
head of the board of assessors. The supreme
judges in their recent decision said, ''if the
returns do not appear to be signed by the
proper officers they must be disregarded."
1t was acknowledged that the returns were
not signed by any one of the officers in the
case of Wallagrass. They say "if the names
signed are forgerics, that fact may be shown,
for forged returns are not those contemplated
by the statutes, etc."
The committee in this case can only have
decided on this one point, that the House is
the judge of its own elections. He supposed
this to. be SO, and he was willing to submit to
its decision but he did contend that the Com
mittee on Elections in this case had disre-
garded law and the opinions Of the judges of
the supreme court, for by their decision they
