insurance company are co-extensive with the
civilized world. With capital and accumulated
assets, amounting to the magnificent sum OF
s25, SOL 1868, the institution may we'll be consid-
cred sound to the core, while the promptnees
and fairness with which its losses are adjusted,
have given it deservedly widespread reputa-
ton. We have seen in the Liverpool Mail, OF the
It'll OF August, the annual statement OF the COM
pany, rendered on the previous day, from which we
learn that the profit in the fire branch of it's great
business amounted to no less than f200 139 rs Id
In the profit and loss account Of the company's
report, We find that the amount to the credit of
this account of the payment of dividend and
for 1874, shareholders life profit and interest, the
grand total of f532, 1857 is reached. This showing
is like good wine, " it needs no BUSH" Our
estimsbls friend and popular gentleman, Mr.. G.

THE REPUBLICANS MARE's-NEST.

The Republican has discovered "a plot Ia
repeal the compromise" bu. the evidence
adduced by it to prove the existence of this
plot, 1t must be confessed is not very conclu-
siye. The slim and solitary foundation upon
which the Republican builds up its theory is a
paragraph in communication to the Times,
In which the writer expresses the opinion
that nine-tenths the white people of the South
have pretty much the Same opinion
OF the usurpation now as they had in 1874.
1t must be confessed this is making much
smoke with very small amount of fire. The
people Of the State, we take it, do not pro-
pose to renew the strife and excitement which
prevailed before and up to the 14th Of Sep
tember. They have not, SO far as we are en-
abled Judge of their desires, the slightest
intention of anything Of the sort but
they do believe, and they have q right
TO believe that it will be perfectly proper and
competent for Congress to take up the Louis
lana question and to remedy the glaring
plumbers, nay worse the inexcusable crime
perpetrated by the President, Attorney Gen.
of the General Government The compro-
mise had the effect Of quieting political
excitement in the States, and of caus-
ing the matter of the legitimate gov
eminent to be held in allowance until |
it could be definitely settled by Congress-,
but the most sincere advocate of Compro- |
mise never claimed that the action of the |
Legislature cured the Irregularities and
glazing frauds perpetrated in order to over
throw the will of the people as ex.
pressed at the ballot-box. The people
made every manly and proper
resistance against the consummation of
the conspiracy against the State and the
usurpation which grew out of it, and went so
far as to make open war upon the latter, but
they bowed to the authority of the general
and do not propose to resort to
force to regain that which is legitimately
theirs but has been forcibly wrested from
hem. We shall come to our own again either
by the action of Congress or through the
ballot box at the next rlection.

Kew ORLEANS, SEPTEMBER 1, 1876.
sPINNER's BOND.

from our Evening Edition Of Yesterday
The telegraph reports the substance of re
marks made by Mr.. f. E. Spinner, late United
States Treasurer, at Utica, N. Y. where hs
learned to write. Where he learned his les
sons of political economy and finance is mo-
known. He is reported to have expressed
then and there, his preference for an "incon.
trovertible" bond bearing interest at the
rate of one cent day on each one hundred
dollars payable in gold, not stating when or
how the bond is to be redeemed. whether in
gold or paper. The presumption is.that the
telegraph misunderstood the General, and
that instead of describing the bond as Gin
controvertible," which can have no logical
application, he spoke Of it as interconvertibIe,
that is, mutually interchangeable with green
backs, each for the other, at the option of the
holder. 1t is probably his opinion that by
making the present currency convertible into
such bond permanent and more nearly
uniform value would be given to it. By its
operation the holder Of $1,000 in paper, worth
say $3.50, may have a bond which will earn
500 so year in gold, which is equivalent to
about four and three-tenths per cent on the
gold value of the bond
If currency should be in demand the
holders of these bonds would present them
for redemption in currency; but if the latter
should be super-abundant. it would be in
vested in these bonds for the sake of the |
interest, though at a low rate. The bonds !
would themselves be employed as currency
in large transactions, and if in small denomi- |
nations they would enter largely into the
ordinary business of the country, being used
in buying and selling as ordinary currency is
now.
This is the most plausible and seductive
paper-money doctrine that has yet been
preached.
1t is liable to many serious objections
which the press will not wait for us to pre-
sent this evening and which can not be
clearly demon strated in few lines-objec-
lions inherent in all promises that can not be
performed, and in all substitutes for money
not convertible into money, (gold and silver,
It the will of the holder. With the machin-
FRY OF these interconvertible bonds and green ,
packs, spectators and financial sharpers
night thrive as well as all to whom doubtful, {
and unascertainable values, markets
md securities afford cover for attacks upon :
public and private funds. G
1t is in the dark that culprits depreda!e |;
most successfully upon the stores, dwellings, e
ields and granaries of their victims, and it is
lnder the financial darkness of doubt, change \
nd uncertainty that modern financial high '
'aymen, speculative burglars and monetary q
ickpockets pursue their dark and stealtby c
ocation. y
