New Scheme of Insurance.

We reprint, from the Musca'lne
Jownal, the following, not with
view OF giving it any endorsement,
but to bring the insurance question
before the people for discussion
The recent advance in rates OF
Insurance., on account OF Eeavy losses
by insurance companies in the Chi.
cago and Boston fires, lie causing
much CONSERVATION ard comment
among p,opcrty-holders. Many OF
them think they cannot afford to pay
The advanced rates. We notice that
business men III Minneapolis talk OF
dispensing with insurance altogether
ana employing men to watch Their
property, believing the plan will
prove cheaper and better than TO IN

A shrewd business man OF this
city, in conversation with us on this
subject, the other day, made a sug.
gesliun, which. if adopted, would

ANOTHER Perjury CAsE.-Chas. Scales was
brought before Justice Padgett this morning,
charged by Geo. l.. Seston with perjury in his
testimony in the case of Tancil VS.. Seaton.
Justice Padgett dismissed the warrant for I'M
perfection in setting forth the charge. The
case OF Tancil VS.. Seaton was an action for
balance of some 5000, alleged to be due the
plaintif on 81 900 note found by him and left
with defendant for safe keeping, and which the
testimony showed was stolen from him. The
case was noted at the last trial, from the fact
that jury of lawyers tried it, and failed to
agree. On the trial Charles Scales swOre that
he was porter at SeatOn's store at the time of
the alleged robbery, and heard nothing said
about it by the proprietor, and it is now claimed
that he admits, or can be shown to have heard
the fact from Seaton himself The parties are
colored. The warrant being dismissed for in
formality does not preclude another being sued

WASHINGTON CITY IN lS13.-The correspond
ence OF Sir George jackson, a British diplomat
v 10 fOurishCd at the beginning of this century
has been published in London. Among the
letters are several from Francis Jackson, Brit
iSh minister 10 this country about the years
-Sf2-15. Mr.. jackson mentions that he Tput up
a cOVey of partridges within 800 yards Of the
House of Congress, yclept the Capitol" He
speaks III the following strain OF the future OF
the great republic: 81 have remarked that it Is
a very general and favOrite article of belief
with those few Americans who look beyond the
events OF the day, that their country is destined
at 20 very distant period, to take a conspicuous
and influential part in the affairs of the world.
Ard tins is an idea so Eattering TO their vanity
that even some men are found to accede to il, ,
and yet consider the present system of policy
pursued Or their government as the least cal
culated 10 produce such a result" The word
''iHRuential' seems to have been marked in the
above extract as an Americanisn, over fifty
years ago. Perhaps the American meaning of
the word is better understood now than il was
then. THE ideas of progress. which Minister
Francis jackson deemed il sufficient 10 quote to
expose their absurdity, seem TO have found
their yerihcatiOn, and that, too, cat no very
distant period" The city of Washington pre-
sents respectable growth in sixty years, and
the same three score have shown our country's
''infuential position in the affairs of the world.
