THE MUTUAL LIFE.
LEGAL DECISION FROM EMINENT
MEMBERS OF THE SUFFOLK BAR.

Ihe following important decision was rendered
Yesterday concerning the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York
10 Frede11ck s. Winston, Esq, President Of the MH
=, SIR AT your request have carefully examined
the charter Of your company and its notifications
| am OF opinion that the Trustees of the Mutual
Lille Insurance Company of New York have fnii
power to fix and determine the rates of premiums
that are to be paid by persons who become policy
holders and they may from time to time alter those
rates by increasing diminishing them as they
may see ut This power is especially conferred
ullon the Trustees by section of the charter.
he whole subject is entrusted to the discretion of
the Board of Trustees and the exercise OF that dis
cretIon cannot he revised by court of equity or
any other tribunal.
Under the authority thus vested in them the Trus-
tees have the full legal right to deduct from the first
two premiums on new policies thirty per cent from
former rates as an Involvement to bring new asso-
clates INTO the company. My conclusion is that tle
new policies now being issued valid and bind the
company as efectually as any of the former con
tracts OF insurance. The company being a CORPORA
ton created by the State of New York and the poll
cles OF insurance issued by ii being has been re-
Gently decided. New York contracts it seems to me
that the courts of that State the only ones com
petent to adjudcate upon the relation between the
corroratlon and its members, and if the question
should incidentally come up Ill any other State, the
n les adopted by the courts of New York which
the domicile OF the corporation, must certainly
govern any tribunal where il may arise.

A telegram of the 10th inst, from Lead
City, Black Hills, says that a mob of one
hundred and fifty men, mostly roughs from
outside camps, have taken possession of
the town. All of the streets of the town
have been jumped and all the roads leading
20 the quartz mills are in like condition. A
meeting called by the officers of the town
was broken up, the mob electing their Of
ficers and passing their " laws, n of
which is to the effect that the streets should
be but twenty feet vide. At the time the
dispatch was sent tho mob was yelling and
shooting throughout the town. The cit
liens were arming and organizing to pro-
tee! life and property. Lead City is located
on Whitewood gulch, three or four miles
above Deadwood City. 1t has long been
amooted question whether or not the streets
of mining towns were the legal property of
the corporation. The gulch is q narrow one
and every square.foot of theiroadway used
is valuable ground. Among the Yankton
parties who have interests in Lead City are

In November. a mar named Rhoden was
killed by Bannock Indians at Ross Fork,
Idaho. The Indians have been threatening
trouble since. The murderer was captured
January 9by Captain Bainbridge, command
ing Fort Hall, since which the Indians
have been more hostile than before. Col.
John E. Smith. of the Fourteenth infantry,
was sent to Fort Hall some time ago to in
duce the surrender of the murderer, but was
unsuccessful. Major Hart, with three COM
psnies of the Fifth cavalry arrived at Ross
Fork at daylight Wednesday morning, and,
together with three companies of the Four
teenth infantry. surrounded the encamp-
ment of Bannocks on Snake river and de.
manded their surrender, which they did
quietly. Fifty-fve bucks, som: arms and
$50 horses were taken.

The Dakota Herald recently charged that
Yankton county had run In debt fifteen:
thousand dollars since the 1st of July, 1871
In view of the fact that all claims against
the county up to the list Of January, 1878,
have been an9 will be paid IN CASH, there
is reason why the Herald should take back
its false assertion. 1t is damaging to the
county to have such charges stand unrefu-
ted. II iepreciates real estate and renders
capitalists suspicious where there is no
cause for distrust. If the statement was
not made in malice. let it be followed by q
plain retractlon. This the Herald owes to
the public, now that it has abundant proof
that its assertions are not true.

The success of the Missouri River Trans
porta.ion Company in securing the govern
ment military transportation or the Mis-
souri, river for the coming season is q tri-
umph for Yankton interests. 1t will secure
US a good trade during the boating months,
and will bring good profits to the Coulson
line and help strengthen the various enter
prise which have grown out Of the steam.
boat business here in Yankton. The Coul.
son company is identified with Yankton
and whatever benefits the company benefits
the community at large. Therefore we are
all gratiied at the success of the Coulson

the MEXICAN SITUATION.

Senator Blaine made a speech the other
day in the senate on the situation of the
Mexican question in which he strongly init.
mated that q wal with Mexico was not al
together improbable. He charged that an
agitation was being kept up in the north.
west for the purpose of precipitating the two
countries into armed conflict. The speech
has attracted considerable attention and
great interest has been manifested to ascer-
tain the reasons which had moved the sen.
ator to make the statement he did. Upon
this subject the Washington correspondent
of the Inter-Ocean says:
I have recently discovered how and from
whom Blaine obtained his information, and
the circumstances on which it was based.
Wells, Fargo & Co. and other prominent
business firms AVE large interests in the
border states of Mexico which are worth
less in the unsettled and irresponsible state
of Mexican politics. Mr.. Evarts has been,
and is still said to be in the employ OF the
firm named as an attorney, or is, or has
been connected with them in q legal way
Just what the relation is, is not clear, but
at any rate it Is such as ito warrant them 10
communicating freely and confdentially
with him on matters pertaining to their in
terests. A war with Mexico, and the an
pexstion of the border states, would be .
great advantage to Wells, Fargo q Co. and
others similarly interested, and . treats
with Diaz, comforting upon Americans CT.
tain rights and privileges in those border
states. would be also to their advantage. al'
though not In O. great . degree. This Dim
and Others would prefer war, but, If they
could NOT get that, would be highly graf.
ned With anything IN the treaty line tbs,
would make thdr Nexican Investment
profitable.

In some wayor another Henry A. Bowen,
a nephew of Henry @. Bowen, of the 1nde.
pendent, and considerable Of an adyenturer,
Became involved in this Mexican matter,
and In the interest of Wells, Fargo s. Co.
and other firms obtained access 70 Evstts
and Assistant a6ecreArys Seward, and had
several confidential conversations With
one ofsbosh of them. Aman by the name
Of JanesfVaughn Thomas, who 10 also con.
slderably interested In the Mexican border
states. but who resides in New York, also
took part in these confidential consultations,
and enjoyed communications of q private
character with the state department also.
At these interviews both Evarts and Sew
ard are understood To- have impressed upon
Bowen and Thomas the importance OF an
agitation Of the war question, snd at least
encouraged them to beli6ve that the state
rating q policy toward Mexico SO rigid and
vigorous that 4 war might possibly bs ne
cessitated In order to carry it out. MI. Ev.
arts Is said to have stated that . little com
pltcation with . foreign power would be
greatly advantageous to this country just al
that time, when the policy Of tho admins
.tration toward the south was creating con
siderable agitation, and would be service
able in drawing public attention from in
ternal differences to those Of our neighbSrs
Evarts impressed Bowen and Thomas tha'
the probability of q wal with Mexico wal
growing, and that at least the policy
Of the state department toward Diaz woule
be such a. to compel him to make such
treaty concessions Is would crafty Ameri'
