Life Insurance a Dead loss to the
Country y

From the Austin StatesmanI
Consolidated reports of life in.
surance companies for last year
shows that POI 1866 policies were
issued, and 15O,663 policies term
mated, Dis follows = by, y death
S766, by expiration 927, by change
1888, and by discontinuance and
non payment Of premium 133,137.
The last item will takeathe ,raader
as curious !; for if the year men-
toned was not an exceptional one
the permanent increase in the
number of p0icieab held by, iusur
anee companies is comparatively
small. Last year it was 10000.
These. facts. indicate that either,
from lack of desire or of financial
ability to pay premiums regularly
nearly threw-fourth of the per
sons insured annually 9'step down
and OUT without awaiting SUM-
mons from the Angel of DEATH.
But at the same time it proves
that the hazard to companies by
expanding their business is much
less than the public have been led
to suppose 1t may not be inn
proper to add that it seems from
these figures that a very large
share Of the annual snrplas pro
dnct Of Sontherh toll il absorbed
by, Eastern life and fire. insurance
companies, and palpably enough
the loss to these States is simply
enormous. It's the fault of those
who forfeit life policies, but the
fact still stares us in the face that
the millions going away annually
to insure property in houses and
souls should be invested at home.
The best legacy one can leave his
wife and children is q life of hon
est industry, or rather, the exam
pie and fame inci1eutt0 itssFhey
never prosper who win goa the
turn Of cards, or on that of an
issue Of life, or death, the faro
dealer being Grim Death. But
whatever, individuals may think
OF the policy Of life assurance, of
which only one aspect is present
ed to the country, it is plain
enough, ifthe figures above given
be correct, that the State Of Texas
should saurely restrict or regulate
the business.

From the Mobile Register
Gen. Sherman shows remark
able micronimity in his MEM
DIR. His admission as to the
charge made against General
Wade Hampton is bad enough,
but his REPETITION, without pol>
ogy, of the remark he made to
Gen. Johnston relative to Mr.,
Davis is even worse. By an
arrangement, Gen. Sherman
waste meet Gen. Johnston, on
the 18th OF April. As he was
entering the Car at Durham on
his way to this interview, the
telegraph operator told him
that All important despatch in
cipher was just then coming
over the line. He waited until
the despatch was received and
translated. 1t was from Mr..
Stanton, announcing the assas>
sination Of Mr.. Lincoln, the
attempt on the lives Of Mr..
Seward and his son, and a
suspicion that a like fate was
designed for Gen. Grant and
all the principal officers of the
Government. Gen. Sherman
directed the operator to divulge
the contents of the despatch to
mo one until his return. He
kept the matter secret. He
met Johnston at the place
appointed. and he thus describes
what followed:
AS soon as we were alone
together, / showed him the
despatch announcing Mr. Lin
coins assassination, and watch
ed him closely. The perspira>
ton came out in large drops on
his forehead, and he did not
attempt to conceal bis distress.
He denounced the act as a
disgrace to the age, and hoped
l did not charge it to the Cons
federate Government. / told
himI could not believe that
he, or Gen. Lee, or the officers
of the Confederate army, could
possibly be privy to acts OF
assassination /; but I aCould not
say as much for JEFF. Darts,
George Sanders, and men ofthat
stripe. II
l. Gen. Sherman had no right
to believe then and has no
reason to repeat now, that Mr..
Davis was capable of conspir~
ing for the assassination of Mr..
Lincoln. No one entered into
the secession movement with
greater regret and hesitation
than Mr.. Davis. His speeches
for the Union during his visit
to New England, just before
secession, exhibited an ardent
desire to avert the calamity
which the Republican party
was threatening. Mr.. Davis
was not in advance of, but
rather behind the people. He
did not seek the position Of
President of the Confederacy,
That Office was thrust upon
him by an unanimous people
After he accepted it he pleaded
for the laws and r1sages 'o1

who are now high in thesregard
Of the Northern people. and
some who have sold theil
birthright for a mess of pot
tage, were in favor of raising

sloping surface was difficult to hold. A narrow
plank walk led down to the galiows The sun
shone brilliantly upon the ica and the red wall Of
the jail, but a keen and uncomfortable wind was
blowing. A scm-crcle of policemen surrounded
the gallows, and back Of them the crowd slowly
gathered, 200 or more altogether coming into the
yard. Those who had been excluded surrounded
the fence and pecred through knot holes and peep
holes cut through the boards, and the constables
within hammered on the fence against them and
ordered them vainly TO go back AT last, the Jail
yard being half full, stir arose as precededby the
two clergymen and the Sheriff and followed by u
posse, jarvis and Jackson came out plnioned
Both, at the express desire of Jarvis, wore new
suits Of black cloth. Each had little noseSay at
bis buttonholc. Jarvis smiled broadly as he pass
ed through the crowd, looked up with half laugh
at the moose as he came under il, and then stood
under 1t smiling, facing the crowd. The nooses
were adjusted, the ccrgymen and the Shenii babe

The axe of the Sheriff was heard moment later
in the half minute Of dead silence, cutting the rope
that held the weight, and the two black bodies
sprung into the air. Jacksons neck was broken
at once, so the doctors said afterwards. Jarvis
was hauled up two feet, and the rope brose. iie
fell on hls feet and tottcred half paralyzed by the
shock, but was quickly supported by three men,
and swayed helplessy about between them Two
or three in the crowd said "shame" under their
BREATH but nobody spoke aloud. Jarvis muttered

A man clambefed out upon the beam from which
Jackson was swinging and passed down rope
hastily, and then descended. That took minute.
The man below to whom the rope was passed let
it slip from his hand, and it flew up again and dis
appeared. Jarvis muttcred again inariculary. a
second time the executoners assistant climbed
out upon the gallows beam upon which dead
body was hanging, and passed the rope down
again. That took another minute. No mistake
was made this time The moose was securely fas-
tened to the rope, and the men had hardly time to
step away from around him when Jarvis was slow
ly hauled up by the neck and strangled in tie ar
The crowd, half Of which had no business to be
present, had enough of hanging that time.
Life was pronounced extinct in Jacksons case
in eight minutes and in the of Jarvis in twelve
minutes after suspension. The bodies were con-
veyed in coffins to the house of Jarvis's widow in
South Oyster Bay, and will be buried at Jerusa-
lem.
The Sheriff says the ends Of the broken rope
locked as if it had been partly cut in two. Under
him the arrangements Of the gallows were manag-
ed by the New York professional hangman who
hanged Mechella ut the second attempt year
ago last Friday.
