The New York herald., 1876-11-28

A CHANCE ron Mr.. EvARrs s-We have re-
ceived several letters from merchants and
other citizens of New York, suggesting that
the public would be greatly interested to
hear Mr.. William NJ Rvarts opinion on the
present political situation, and that the
merchants and bankers who some weeks
ago, before the election, called him out
would do we'll to ask him once more for his
advice We think well of the suggestion,
and wish that the gentlemen at whose instance
Mr. Evarts spoke before the election would
now ask him to address them again. His ad-
vice and his opinions would be received with
interest, and would have great weight in all
parts of the country. His influence would,
we do not doubt, be cast on the side of peace
and honesty, and at this moment the voice of
men in whom the public has confidence
ought to be heard.
The New York herald., 1876-11-28

cumbrous machinery provided by the consti-
tuition. Their plain intention must rule in
the matter and the more SO as the State
law allows the Electoral College to fill
vacancies. In any case the democrat, who
did not receive majority OF the votes, is not
elected.
The democratic position with the country
at this moment is too strong to be frittered
away by any pettifogging man@uvres. The
overbearing and suspicious course of the
republicans in the three disputed States
and the peaceable aud orderly conduct of
the democrats down there is rapidly turn
ing public sympathy to the democratic side
IL world be great folly in them to sacrifice
their position now by misconduct, and espe-
cially by small attorney trick which is
unworthy of any party. The democrats
want Mr.. Tilden installed if he has been fairly
elected; not otherwise. Now, to grab vote
IN Oregon by petty device resting on the
barest technicalties, cannot help them, and
viii not, before the country.

Lifs 1n.ur.nc. ana Real Estate.

The table of real estate investments by
printed yesterday, has attracted, as it de-
served, great deal of attention. 1t showed
that the life insurance companies of New
York hold mortgages to the amount of over
one hundred and twenty millions of dollars
on real estate in this city. This, we need
not say, is very considerable sum of
money. AS the nature of this security is of
the utmost consequence to hundreds of
thousands of families all over the country,
it may not be amiss to explain to them that
it has been the rule Of these companies to
loan their surplus cash on city real estate,
to the extent, at most of fifty per cent, but
among the prudent companies to not more
than one-third or two-ffths of its market
value The greater part Of the mortgages
now held were made when real estate had
what is now seen to be an inflated value !;
and the shrinkage of the last three years,
which amounts to about forty per cent
according to the general opinion, ought not
to touch as yet the real security of these in
vestments where they have been prudently
made That all the companies have been
equally cautious, or that all the investments
of any one company have been equally saga
cious, is not to be expected |; but there is no
reason to believe that there has been among
them any general imprudence rather the
reverse.
This, however, is matter of such vital
importance to the insured that we suggest
to the State Superintendent of Insurance
the propriety of making careful investiga-
ton into the securities held by the different
life companies, in which he should, we
think, seek to ascertain what number of
foreclosures have been made in each COM
pany; what, if any, losses have been suf-
fered what amounts Of interest if any, are
in arrears; ; what amounts of property have
been bid in at foreclosure sale by companies
and what is the real present value, COM
pared with the face value or purchase price,
of such property which has been bought in.
From the best inquiries we can make the
life companies are generally in sound con-
| dition. But if there are any otherwise if
| anywhere there has been unbusiness-like
management, resulting in losses which ac-
tually impair the security of n company, the
public ought to know it. Mr. Smythe, the
Insurance Superintendent, is; we believe, an
honest aud capable man, and we hope he
| will undertake the scrutiny we have sug-
! Cested.

Pettifoxging in Oregon.

We hope the democratic leaders will not
encourage Governor Grover, of Oregon, in
what we believe to be piece of small petit
Jogging. 1t is said that, one of the republi-
can electors being ineligible because he held
the Office Of postmaster, the Governor now
means to give the certificate to his demo-
cratic opponent. This is nonsense. The people
of Oregon gave q republican majority ;clearly
they meant to choose the body Of republican
electors Who these were they did not know
nor particularly inquire--probably half the
voters did not even know the names of the
electors. They intended to cast their votes
for Hayes and Wheeler. and did 80 by the
