THE latest life insurance swindle is that of
the Universal Life, Of New York. Its assets
are short Us regards policy-holders more than
81 900. The Guardian Mutual Lifts and
the North America Life having failed some
time ago, their policy y-holdes wcr, reinsured
in the Universal. II now disclosed that at
the very time the reinsurance was effected the
Universal was known to its officers TO be
insolvent, and that they have been virtually
robbing the policy-holdcrs ever since by re-
ceiying payments Of premiums from them.

GREAT objection has been made to the
Presidents order forbiddng office. holders from
taking part in politics Now II seems to
us that when public sentiment becomes
as enlightened rs 1t should be upon this
subject, 1t will seem Just as improper for civil
officers to take part in political management
as it would appear now for officers Of the army
aud navy to do so. The truth is that neither
military or civil officers ought To take any ac-
tive part in politics They arc the servants of
all the people without distinction OF party
and it is therefore highly improper for them

the elsHrH or JANUARY

~ must be horne in mind that
January Sth seems to have been fixed
upon throughout the country as the
day for holding public meetings to pro
test against changing the result OF the
presidential election by force and fraud.
Dallas should see to it, that this county
gives expression TO suitable views on
that day This is perfectly proper
movement, and the day chosen is ex-
oeed,ngly suitable for such purpose.
The sth of January is memorable in
our history as the anniversary of the bat
tie of New Orleans. That battle was
the turning point Of the last struggle be
tween the United States and England.
lts result did much, very mach. to es.

drew Jackson, great man and one of
our great presidents, destined TO long
renown not only as military hero and
an original and courageous statesman,
but as champion of the people and
their successful defender against the en-.
croachments Of a great moneysd power.
The liberties of the people are now
threatened by a most formidable con-
spiracy. a combination of otiicehold-
ers, supported by the most powerful POI
litical party know ia our history. are en-.
gagged in fslsifying the votes cast at a
ustionsl election, and taking, through
fraud and violence, from man whom
the peopls have elected, the office of
president. and giving it to another man
whom the people have rejected This
constitutes moro dangerous attack
upon our country and its Democratic
institutions thsn.the attack Of Great
Britain tina, was foiled at New Orle ans
sixty.two years ago. Let US hope that
the popular protest which will be utter
ed on the Sth of January next will be as
etiicacious IN driving back the public
enemy rs were the deadly rifles of our
sharpshooters and the martial genius OF
