He hoped God would grant tat he

LIFE: INSURANCE.

In0 Now Jersey MUTUAL LlI0 10Su.
rance Company.
Chancellor Runyon, of New Jersey,
has just rendered 4 decision of impol
tance to all persons interested in the
question of life insurance. Some time
since suits we're brought by several poll
cy holders of the insolvent New JERSEY
Mutual Life Insurance Company, now
in the hands OF Receiver Joel Parker -
or these suits some we're brought by
widows, holding policies on their deceas-
ed husbands lives; others by holders
whose policies were not due The Chan
cellor discriminates in favor of the for
mer elaine. He says: at is clear that
under the charter il there were just claims
for losses Of greater amour. than the
company had found on hand to pay, the
policy holders, all Of whom were men,
bers, would have been respectively liable
to pay ratable proportion of the def
cheney according to the amount of their
respective insurances, not exceeding,
however, the amount Of their respective
premium notes, and that the payment
could have been enforced by suit. =
1t is necessary consequence OF the ar
gument in behalf of the holders of pol. :
cies which were not due that il by rea-
son Of unusual mortality the losses of
mutual company should at any time be-
come 80 great that it would appear that
after payment of the losses there would
not remain sufficient assets to secure to
the survivors the full payment of their
policies when they should mature the
losses should none of them be paid, but
the company should at once 60 into
liquidation for the benefit of all the pol
icy -holders. The proposition, IT mair.-
tanned, would obviously put an end to
the business of mutual insurance. =
Should there be any surplus of assets
after payment of the expenses Of the
trust and the debts, 10 which are includ-
ed the befort mentioned death claims, it
will he distributed among the other po'-
icy holders "
From this decision it is possible that
the surviving policy holders will not re-
ceive one cent, as the death claims and
matured endowments, together with the
enormous legal expenses, will exhaust
all the assets. II. however, Receiver
Joel Parker obtains the S2O0. 900 on dt :
posit in Albany to the credit of the
Hope and Commonwealth, which we're
reinsured by the New Jersey Mutual
Life. this money will be divided, 30 that
the surviving policy holders may receive
about ten per cent. Of their premiums

In the Senate, aud. indee.i, the speech of
all the speeches which have yet been
made on the subject Of the bayonet at the
polls, was made by Wallace, Of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t was the finest ofthe many fine
efforts that Wallace has made in the SEN
ale, and surprised even those acquainted
with his capabilities as an orator and de-
batter. From the 6rst to last be confined
himself closely to the real question ct is
sue, and very nicely and very deity de-
feated each and all of Blaine's several ef-
forts to distract him fromis. "He entire
Ply iemonlished Blaine" said an enthusi
astic spectator and that is just about the
situation. He demolished the 6rst part
of Blaine's speech with q single sentence.
"Tnere is no danger" auoth Blaine, "be-
cause the great bulk Of the army is west
Of the Mississippi; and then he labored
for half.hour to prove that the soldiers
would not average one to county The
Senator from Maine begs the Question:

that we are denying supplies. said he
"The bill does not ssy so. it-does MOI
do so. On the contrary, 1t grants SUI

The SpiritV Democracy is in error
when 1t says that the Guernsey Democra-

Of whom no doubt will be nominated

County sh0nld have a Senator. 1t i.
a!reed that she shall have, ba, until no
1t has been understood that her term

Is more appropriate this year as it is Goa
ccded that the part of Noble IN the dis
trict south of us shall haze the Senator
this year. Hon. Wm. Van Meter, Jacob
Wyscarver, a, d rhos keenan, ste named
IN Noble. Either Of them would make
an acceptable Senator, and one OF them
will no doubt at the proper period.
We don't understand that Noble has
waived her claims TO the nomination this
year. That part we have italicised is
plain and at the same time puzzling.
"Nable County should have Sena-
sSr," says the Jefersoniaa, yet i. is
claimed that she should tolls " Guernsey.
Noble has heen doing that very thing
since the formation OF the disir,c. in
1851, and yet is no,o informed that "hcr
term should follow that Of Guernsey"
and that one ofseveral gentlemen named
can have the Senasorship cat the proper

That is the coolest piece Of 9 'mman-
