INSURANCE..

The New York state superintendent of
insurance recommends that the legislature
shall enact law TO compel city, town, or
"village corporation TO pay the losses in
case of arson" That is to say, If we I'M
derstand it, that if building in Rutland,
lars, is destroyed by an incendiary fire, the
insurance company shall he relieved of its
contract, but the town or village of Rut-
land, as may be provided, shall pay the
amount of insurance. Arson shall, ipsO
.fdcto, change the insurer With all defer
ence to SO eminent an authority as the su-
perintendent OF insurance. we must say
that the proposition is a trifle absurd.
Insurance companies have 1t now in their
power, If they wish to exercise it, TO so
write policy of insurance, that an-incen-
law is needed for their protection in this
respect This, however, is not the idea.
Such provision would materially inter
fere with their profits. But few men com
parativey, would insure solely against their
own or their neighbours carelessness. A
policy of insurance to recommend itself,
must insure against fire from all sources
not simply against careessncss.
To show the practical working of this
proposition that the municipality shall pay
the loss in the case of incendiary fires, take
the case of Albany referred to. 1t is said
that during ten months of 1876, the entire
loss by fire in that city was two hundred
aud flfty-two thousand dollars, of which
about eighty per cent, or two hundred and
ten thousand dollars, was caused by incen-
darism. Albany is city with over eighty
six thousand population and with over
twenty thousand voters, and valuation OF
|, over fifty millions of dollars. From these
figures some idea, at least, may be formed
of the amount of insurable property there.
Now it is coolly proposed that the insur-
ance companies shall be permitted to 90 ON
and insure this property, receive the pre-
miums therefor, pocket the same, and paw
only eighty per cent. of the losses. Re

The republicans of Connecticut, as well
rs of the country, are to be congratulated
on the good work accomplished at Hart
ford, Tuesday. Henry c. Robinson, the
nominee for governor, is one OF those rare
men, of unquestioned integrity, of COM
manding ability and of unbounded personal
popularity, that the country delights to
honor when it has the opportunity. The
office sought him, not he the office. AS a
whole the ticket is unexceptionable, and
the republicans go into the campaign, de-
serving of success, inspired with the hopes
of victory, and bound to win.

Civil Suits Between Divorced Persons

A very curious case was heard recently
in the Queens bench division of the high
court. The plaintiff, Sarah Phillips, mar
rled Mr.. Barnet, more than SIX years ago.
He beat her, thereby, she says, permanent
ly lnjuring her, and she was divorced from
him on the ground of adultery and cruelty.
She now, as single woman, sued hin tor
damages, and her counsel argued that as
she could when a wife indict her husband
for violence, so she could, as a DIVORCE,
bring an action for damages. The judges,
however, decided that man and wife can
bring no civil action against each other,
being in the eye of the law one person, and
that divorce did not revive their right as If
they had continued single persons. The
divorce did not destroy the marriage db-
initio, but only destroyed 1t for the future.
The point raised is said to be perfectly
novel, and the decision is important, as
otherwise divorce suit might be followed
up by all manner of actions, intended
chiefly to crafty domestic hatred,

Taxation.

The supreme court of California has de-
cided that the taxation of mortgages is UNI
constitutional. In delivering the opinion
the chief justice said
Mere credits are a false quantity in ascer-
tanning the SUM OF wealth which is subject TO
taxation as property, and In so far as that sum
Is attempted to be Increased by the addition
OF those credits, property taxation, based
thereon, is not only merely fanclful, but neces-
sarily an unconstitutional imposition of an adj
dltional tax upon portion or the property
already once taxed.
1t is beyond question that the taxation oil
mortgages, and oppressive usury laws, tend
to make borrowing difficult and expensive
Capital invariably seeks fields in which its
use is least restricted. There is palpable
Injustice in taxing piece of property on
its own valuation and them imposing an
other tax upon credit derived from that
property. Our system Of taxation is defec-
tive in many ways, but there is difficulty
in getting legislators to study it with view
to reform. Occasional efforts are made in
that direction, but there 10 so much apathy
regarding the matter that nothing of i'm
portance is ever accomplished. Just now
George Ill. Andrews, one of the tax COM
missioners of the city of New York, is
busying himself with the question, and has
evolved theory which is attracting some
attention. His scheme is epitomized by
the Egening Post as follows
| Flrst-That real estate he relieved entirely
from the burden OF taxation for st 10 purposes.
| This would 10 ave houses and lands TO be as
| sessed only Tor purposes of local taxation. 1t
| would prevent the injustice arising from un-
| equal valuations In the several counties, which
the state assessors, with imperfect success, at
| tempt cure.
Second-That all cornorot ions doino business
| IN the state be assessed for state purposes and
| pay taxes directly 10 the state treasurer.
Thh d-That II sufficient revenue cannot be
| derived by he stale from this source, license
tax be imposed for state purposes upon certain
| classes OF business.
Fourth-That IL be left to each county to de-
| termine whether, In addition TO real estate, II

A Catastrophe AYerted.

Miss Clara Morris afforded, a notable in
stance of presence OF mind, wednesday
evening, in Baltimore. The Bulletjn gives
this account of it ; AT the point where
Camille rises and totters to the window
and thence striving to regain her couch,
staggers to the toilet table, she introduces
most effective and telling piece of acting,
and it is one of the strongest incidents OF
the whole play. Il requires great delicacy,
and as she renders il must be done with
great nicely or it would prove disaster.
Just rs Camille was turning to the glass q
cat Of extreme indiscretion trotted on to
the stage and caused litter in the audi
ence. Miss Morris called the animal to
her, preserving in the most admirable
manner the splrt and color of the previous
situation, fell upon the floor beside ii, car
essed It, and finally staggered with 1t 10
the wing and gave It into the prompter's
too visabe hand. 1t was an appalling in
cdent, for on its success depended the
whole OF the last act, and yet the manner
of its execution held the audience spell
| bound and il was really bard to determine
ii it was not actually down in the bill.
The cat was in position to ruin every
thing, for in another moment Camille's
scream, when she sees herself in the mir
ror, would have sent it scampering off the
stage with tail erect, and then where
would the audience have been {? Mr.. Ford
