Senator WagstaH's Insurance Bill.

We are at loss to understand either The
constitutionalty or the policy Of the insur-
nnco bill introduced into the Senate by Mr..
WAGsrAFF. II proposes TO conllne the right
To institute proceedings against insurance
companies exclusively to the Attorncy-Gcn-
cral, and oven in cases now pending TO sub
stitutc the stockholders and policy holders
for the present plaintiffs, and then to turn
the cases over to the Attorncy-Gcncral.
This would seem to be bill in the interest
Of the insurance companies. But even if the
Legislature wishes to bolster up any tot
tcring Institutions, whore docs it find the
power to deprive any aggrieved party Of the
right to institute proceedings against u
company?
The Governor will do we'll to keep sharp
eye ON these insurance bills.

cause Of its striking contrast with that OF KEEL

of view, is certainly rather disqucting. The
present hitch in the Assembly is on

A Woman Sold at Auction.

American newspapers have often comment
cd upon the fact that in some parts of Eu-
gland, women have been sold at public auc.
ton during the last century. Recently the
novel sight Of u woman being sold under the
hammer was witnessed by hundreds of peo-
pie in front Of Currie's auction store. When
II became known that such sale was to be
made, a large crowd gathered TO see if the
authorities allowed such a disgraccful scene
to 20 on. AT half past ten the woman was
brought out. Her name was unknown, but
she was recognized by some of the by.stand-
ers as person who had worked in milln-
cry establishment on 9 street before the fire,
and her character had never been questioned.
She seemed perfectly composed in the pres
ence Of so largo crowd, and never moved
muscle of her face as the auctioneer called
out for the first bid. She stood in an elevated
position, dressed in plain muslin, without
any attempt at display. She was handsome
brunette, with regular features, dark hair
aud eyes, and complexion as pure as wax.
She was finally knocked down for eight dol.
lars, and to the surprise of everybody, the
bidder was q married man. He says the
woman is somewhat dilapidated, but he
thinks he can melt down the wax and make
her up into tapers for Christmas trees. She
originally cost eight hundred dollars in New
York, the workmanship being Of the best,
and was for long time displayed in
Broadway milliner's window before she was
shipped to the Comstock. Virginia (NeU.)

The PARIS Elk POSITION OF lS7S.-A de
egation headed by Nathan Appleton, Of BOs-
ton, waited upon President Hayes, and sub
sequently upon the secretary of State, with
regard to the representation of this govern
ment at the Paris exposition next year.
Congress having failed to appropriate the
100000 proposed for this object, this dele
cation intend to raise a sufficient amount to
insure the recognition of the United States
at the exposition. While the President has
no authority of law to designate any one as
commissioner, it is not improbable, in the
absence of legislation, that he will request
certain gentlemen to represent the United
States unoficislly. 1t was proposed by the
delegation to open in Washington, Philadel-
phia and New Y ork offices in connection with
the exposition. The State Of Conuec ticut
has already provided for commission, and
it is probable that other States will follow
its example. Should there be an extra ses-
sion of Congress, the President will COM
muncate with it in regard to the exposition,
and ask that official representation to it be
authorized.

We observe with regret, though not with
surprise, that the present is period of great
depression among our contemporaries of the
metropolis. Probably their circulation is
now at lower ebb than it has reached for
many years. Some Of them, especially
among the evening journals, are really in
distress while the morning journals are ex.
periencing unusually hard times. These are
the more difficult to bear because the ex.
penses of running great newspaper, aside
from the cost of white paper and some mere
mechanical matters, have greatly augmented
