Decision Of the Life Insurance Cases

WAsuINGToH, October 23.-The decision Of
the Supreme Court in the Southern Insurance
cases. which has been awaited with much So
licitude by the companies, was delivered to-
day. The opiuion arrived at by the court
will have the effect TO drplcte very coDsidera-
bis the Golfers of some vi the larger life ill.,
surauce companies of the North. Several Of
these companies did thriving business in the
South before the war, and realized handsome
amounts from tie premiums. Now that they
are required to return these premiums, with
interest added, the aggregate sum to be repaid
will be nearly if not double the total amount
of the premiums received, as there is nearly
sixteen years interest. Very many Of those
who had their lives insured are now dead, and
the sums coming to them will be 10 the nature
of a windfal and very welcome TO their i'm
poverished families. 1t is likely that not in a
few cases where the premiums had been paid
for any length Of time the amount now 10 be
refunded will be greater than the amount Of
the policy. To refresh the memories Of those
who may not recall the merits Of the cases il
may be stated that the insurance companies
claimed that the war vitiated the life policies
issued by them in the South. The insured,
on the other hand, claimed that the companies
continued to be liable, as they were willing to
continue the payments Of the premiums, and
10 some instances rendered the same 10 the
agents Of the companies

From the ". Y. Sun, Oct. III

rErom The ". Y. Sun, Oct. IL
The people of the country, as Mr. Lincoln
used to call them, are on the average very
leyel.headed set. They are not easily hum
plugged, and they usually know what their
true political interests are. This fact suggests
that, in spite of the roaring Of Republican ora
tors, they will cast their votes next month ior
for Tilden, economy. reform. and the paciiica-
ton of the South, foreseeing that BY so dong
they will hasten the coming of the prosperity
for which they are SO eagerly waiting.
from the ". T. Herald. Oct. 49,
West Virginia is one Southern State whose
white population might have been expected to
be in sympathy with the Republican party
Il had but few slaves, and was easily cleft
asunder from the old State of Virginia during
the war. It was steady Republican State
for several years after the close of the war, and
gave its electoral votes to Grant, both IN 1868
and 1872. In 1874 it went over to the Demo-
Gratis by pretty strong majority, and this
election shows that, like its sister States oil the
South, it has gone into the Democratic party
stay.
From Tie Pail Nall Gazette.
How 1T STRIKES LEADING ENGLISH PAPER.
The Federal troops have already been called
in to lid the State Government TO keep order
aud secure freedom Of election in South Caroli-
M. This state of things is what the Chambers
and the Mortons and the Boutwells and the
Buffers of the Republican party have been
eagerly looking for. If they can resuscitote
the hostilities of the civil war, they will have no
difficulty in diverting the Northern mind from
the less sensational question Of reform, and
then the election of Mr.. Hayes will mean sim
ply the proongation Of the present system
with new fgurehead. The attempt to turn
the drift Of the campaign aside to the question
of Southern outrages will not, we may hope,
be successful; for, as the most enlightened
Americans perceive, the decentralization OF the
Republican party is due mainly, if not alto
gether, to the fact that politicians are able to
prove themselves righteous at cheap rote
by abusing the South, and associating the
South with the Democrats.
From the Nep York Express
The picture in South Carolina is just this !:
Armed negroes, and armed by the State, en-
couraged to break the law, to commit violence,
TO fire upon deputy sherilfs and constables
while endeavoriug to keep the peace. Latter
ly they have cut telegraph wires, burned ,ele-
graph poles, pulled up the rails, robbed pri-
vste houses. Coker, member Of the Leeisla-
iure, killed in one Of these ARRAYS, bad 10 bis
pocket letter TO Gov. Chamberlain aud list
Of white men TO be dispatched by rioters I'M
der his influence and control. There would be
little or none of this but for the encouragement
given by villaDous whites in and out Of the
State, who tell these ignorant and excited peo-
pie that the whites mean them harm, and
would, if they could, re-enslave them. II be-
comes the South Carolnians TO be conserve

men can blame them.

but offset our losses at the North and perpet-
uate our personal power. That is to say, a
he pless minority in the North supplemented
by the black vote of the South would domi-
neer over the whole country. Such was the
programme Of 1865, but there was this error
in the calculation ignorance instlnctively
seeks counsel of intelligence as the child takes
advice from bis parent the street-sweep dis
trusting his own Judgment follows the occu-
pant OF a browu-stone front human nature
is the same the world over and the negro OBJ
tains wisdom from his white nei sbbor whose
political interests are necessarily identical With
his own. Thus, the South, increased two
fifths, is about to present solid front against
the Vaccinations o. those political intdels
who expected to govern all the people Of this
great nation.
The Tribune and The Times delight to
speak of what they call the Southern Problem
Ia vague phrase they dare not interpretl, but
those experienced 10 public affairs well un-
derstand that the real problem now taxing the

there vas a world of pathos in the lamenta-
ton Of Tie Times that those counties in
Georgia, where the negro most predominated,
had given increased najNrites against the

white neighbor precisely as the mil operative

eventually Wade Hampton is certain to vote
