OFF WITH HIs ItATi
New York Herald. July 1s.

An odd case has arisen in a French
town near ROuen. A few Sundays
since a young Englishman, son Of a
manufacturer of Manchester, stood
with his hat on looking at the religious
procession passing in honor of afestival
of the Catholic Church. The Mayor of
the Commune knocked the young mans
hat of, and a complaint on the subject
was forwprdea 20 Tie Public Prosecutor
Of the Republic. There can be no de-
fence of the act which has been made
the theme of remOnstrance. At the
same time we cannot too highly cen
sure the rudeness of the stranger who
would not in presence Of any religious
ceremony, no matter the denomination
or character, remove his hat. Such an
act is due to the feelings and belief Of
the multitude around. He has no more
right to wear his hat on such sn oeca-
sion than he would to walk with it on
his head into a lady's parlor. If a
gentleman had any scruples on thesub-
jet from religious convictionsh he would
go away. But the question was not one
of religion, but of courtesy.

LIFE INSURANCE DURING THE
WAR

A few months ago two cases came
before the United States Supreme
Court on appeal, one from New York
and the other from Tennessee. On
both the court was equally divided,
leaving the decisions below in full
force. Strange to say, the decisions
below were in fiat contradiction of each
other. Therefore, the law remains one
thing in New York and the reverse in
Tennessee. The New York State
Court Of Appeals has ruled that
.since the occurrence Of war
prevents and forbids the transmission of
money for the payment of premiums,
a condition forfeiting the policy in the
event of non-paymcnt is suspended
during the existence Of the war, but
tender after its termination Of the pre-
miums unpaid, with interest upon each,
revives the policy" The caseof Ham
iltun VS.. Mutual Life Insurance Com
paDy, appealed to the Supreme Court
as above stated, from the United
States Circuit Court for the
New York city district, held that
notwithstanding the suspension both
Of intercourse and agencies during war
the policy might survive, on the ground
that the inability Of the company to
receive the premiums is equivalent to
a refusal to receive them. The other
Of the two cases appealed was that Of
TAFT VS.. the New York Life Insurance
Company, from the United States Cir
cult for the Western District Of Ten
nessee, and this decision takes
the opposite ground, holding that
the relations between insurer
and insured are in war
those Of belligerents and public
enemies; that thepayment Of premiums
during the whole period of the con-
tract is an essential condition Of the
policy and its non-performance either
by becoming unlawful or by the act of
God impossible vitiates the policy; and
that the relations between the insured
and the insurer, in mutual companies,
are dissolved by war as those between
copartucrs in business. The great ma
iority of rulings in State Courts are in
favor of the New York decision.

JUDGE MACKEY, of South Carolina,

Grant, has waxed very bold, and has
begun to attack his quondam friend,
Gov. Moses, from the bench. in pro-
nouncing sentence the other day upon
a criminal who had been convicted of
arson, the Judge said that the verdict
had been rendered by an impartial
jury, composed Of five white and seven
colored citizens, after the evidence had
clearly shown that child about seven
years Of age had been consumed in the
burning building. He sentenced him
to hard labor in the penitentiary for
life, and in conclusion said: Il do,
therefore, in the name Of violated law,
protest against Executive clemency be-
ing extended in this case 10y the Chief
Magistrate, F. J. Moses, Jr., who has
So prostituted the pardoning power as

clares that any person who shall make,

If person has sent to him an un.

rlIE OLD STATE BANK.

Comptroller Burch's proposed re-
vival of the old State Bank, or an in
stitution similar TO it, has evoked a
good deal Of warm discussion pro and
con among our bankers, merchants
and the citizensof Nashville ut large.
The great majority Seem to think it
just the thing needed by the times, but
some are in doubt concerning the ten
per cent revenue requirement. They
seem to think that the war is s.ill going
on, and that a purely war measure,
without color Of constitutional authori-
ty, can still hold nine or ten years after
the war Is over. 1t is time for our peo-
pie to feel that we are in and of the
United States, now and evermore. AS
such we must take hold of our affairs
and manage them with the olden free
dom, looking to our own welfare and
thereby contributing our due share to
the welfare of the whole laLd.
In the country among the yeomaury,
the discussion OF this scheme is likely
10 be even more earnest and animating,
aud we hope our State exchanges VIII
give the public the benefit of their
views.
AS we take it, the promised benefits
of State Bank are'
1. To give the State an additional
source Of revenue, thus enabling it to
relieve the pressure on the people. The
State and people enjoyed this source of
revenue unquestioned before the war.
under the same Federal constitution as
now, except the three negro amend
ments. There is nothing in these
amendments, denying the State this
source of revenue.
,. To furnish home currency for
home folks-currency that will stay
with US, and not gravitate to New York
to blow Jay Cooke bubbles. In other
words, to offer some check to the GEN.
trahzing system of national banks, IN
der which the currency of the country
might be doubled tomorrow with No
benefit to West or South, but to East
ern capitalists only.
5. To increase our banking facilities
and reduce the rate of interest, not
merely by the direct actionof the State
bank. but also by It's indirect action in
compelling the national banks to fol-
low suit, OF abandon the fed TO free
banking. &
4. To give home aid to home enter
prises, the development of our mineral
resources, manufactures and other in
tercsts.
5. To open the practical campaign
on the network of Radical monopoly.
The Democracy is not themere negative
of Radicalism. 1t existed half cen
tury before Rsdicalism was conceived.
Democracy is a positive. 1t is not
enough to grumble. We must act.
The financial issue has been forced on
every man, woman and child, by the
panic Of last fall. Congress has con-
fessed its inability to settle it. 1t can
never be settled-ought never be set.
tled-on the system of Capitalization.
The Democracy must present some bet
ter solution.
