CHARTER PERPETUAL.

The BYLAWS OF this Compay, and regulations srr,-,
ing insurance have, recently been very material 1
changed, placing it upon basis equal to that Of
LIE insurance Company iii the State.
important among these changes the f0l5Eia,
viz:
Policies instead of being perpetual are issued &:
1--WE years.
An property is classified and the rate Of premi1z
fixed according TO the risk of the property.
Premium notes are taken, and all assessments s7
made on the notes.
Property i inSrued for not more than two thirds 4
its actual cash value and the fun amount Of inazar
paid in case of loss provided the loss be equal he
amount OF insurance.
Annual assessments" only are made cycer; in c''
o. heavy loss, and where special assessment q
necessary.
The Company is therefore prepared to insure pr5l'
upon terms much more desirable than under Tie
system.

The eleventh District is likely To lie
well represented IN the next Congress.
1t is conceded even 10y the Democrats
that a Republican will lie elected, and
we see that there are named rs candi-
dates, the present Representative, Mr..
Evans, Hon. Jamcs n. Tynrr, who rep
resented the district six years, and Col.
Kline g. Shryock. of Rochester, who is
well known to the people of all North
ern Indiana. Mr.. Evans, the present
incumbent is making a very respecta-
BILE Representative, but We believe he
is not seeking, and does not care To re-
ceiye nomination.. Mr.. Tyner has
had u valuable experience in the House,
and xas one of the ablest, most indus
trious and useful members this tate
has ever had in that position, and Col.
ShryOck would be a strong and popular
candidate. lie is an excellent man.

resented in the 45th congress.

In the matter of the appointment
and removal of House employees We
battered up the Logansport PhdroS so
effectually that it resorts to the last
refuge of the vhipped-the calling of
names; and it gives us more abuse than
argument, more heat than sense. Its
entire half column is answered 10y stat
ing that we spoke of the employees" Of
the House, and not the officers. The
PhdrOs attempts TO answer us by a
treatise on the officers, and how they
are selected. We were exactly correct
in all that we said before, and have no
disposition to repeat it. We merely
ask the Pidros to explain how the OIL
GERS of the present House got rid Of the
employees whose names they found on
the rolls, except 10y crossing off their
names and putting others in their pla-
ces: Had this not been done, they
would still have been there.
