The recent renort that lease of the Allan

offered to the New-York, Lake Erie and west,
ern Company is renewed in another FORM anu
proves now to be well founded. There seems 10
be as little doubt that the lease VIII ne ac-
ccpted by the Erie Road, inasmuch as IL Is
regarded by the management as highly au-
vantageous. 1t is plain, from the announce

The hanging of the negro George Washing
ton the day before the birthday OF the original
owner of that name came unplcasantly near
TO being q grOteSque celebration of holiday
which in former years Americans were accus-
toned to honor. II so happened that the
Sheriff of yesterday, being doubtless conserv-
at1ve man. and not willing rashly to violate
settled preccdents, hanged the man twice,
after the modern manner of Sherifts. 1t hap
ppned. also. that no one seems to have re-
considering the kind of person this George
Washington was, il is not strange that no one
did.

determined to submit the question OF
the ivIolabity Of private dispatches to
judicial decision. The company is to be

of this subject so that all persons who deal
with it may know what to expect thereafter. Ii
Is understood that this course has been adopted

Southern claims were knocked over like
niuc-piu~ in the House yesterday. The first
was the claim OF a whari-OWner in AleXan-
dla for the use OF his property by the Union
Amy dining the war, aud the claimant was
vouchcd for 10y several members OF the House.
all Democrats, but men who would not mis-
represent case, az having been iOyal man;
but the bill was killed without Il division OF
the House. The next bill WAS advocated by
an Alabama Democrat who declared, wInic
doing so. that he had no sympathy with the
class of claims winch il represented, and was
opposed by General Bragg, the Wisconsin
Democrat who has already spoken ont 80 boldly
AGAINST the rebel raid on the Treasury. This
measure was killed by relative vote OF two
to one, and the next was trdmpled to death
without division; the next suffered the same
fate after some discussion. 1t vas clear long
while ago that rebel claims had ceased to
have any prospects IN this Congress, aud the
disposition made of these examples shows
that there was no mistake in that prediction.
But it need not be supposed, therefore. that
the danger Of grand Southern grab is over.
The hunger which is behind the vast horde
of Southern claims has been put off with one
refus&i-that is all.

Some gentlemen Of the committee appointed DY
tho New-Y0rk pOlicy-holders OF the Mutual Life.
who joined IN the remonstrance against the absn-
doned rebate scheme, were questioned last evening
as to their position in the insurance controversy as
il now stands. These gentlemen stated in reply
that the committee would not be dsbandcd until
the whole rebate plan shall have been cquitably
adjusted, and other important questions with re-
gard 10 tho rights and duties of pocy-holders IN
the selection of trustees and in the general manago-
ment of the company shall have been fully consid-
cred and finally determined. Az TO the new plan
which makes general reduction on the premiums

per cent it was stated thar. while the old policy
holders had made no objection to the formerly es-
tablished rates of tine company, because they re-
gardcd the loading of premiums simply as pay
ment IN excess for security to be returned ia the
shape Of ascert Incd dividends, nevertheless they
agree with the trustees the belief that tine load
ing has been excessive They believe also that this
excessive loading has opened the door to extraya-
CANT expenditurcs. And while they are ready 80
nav liberal salaries 10 quallied officer, they remem
Der that every policy -holder IN his individual life
and circumstances has been compelled to max" cOn-
ccssions 10 the prevailing siingcncy Of the times.
They ask therefore that the officers and agents who
have derived such benefit during the past ten years
from the contributions of cOnhdlHg and sometimes
ignorant policy holders should now surrender some
thing OF their own personal advantage, ana that
they should be willing IN view Of their 0hcial de-
clarations to contribute their share toward a rednc-
ton of the expenses of the company. A. to the
questions which have been raised in regard 70 the
security Of the c0mpany's vast amounts of country
mortgage loans, the committee Is ready to unite
with tho officers and trustees of the corporation in
a.certainng a correct valuation Of these and other
assets, 40 that the new plan may be nJeihgently
discussed.

The rcscuc Of the crew of the Sadie, which ran
aground on the bar on Point Pleasant, on Wcdncs-
day last, makes total of twenty.eight lives saved
by the Lifc-Saviug Service on the Ncw-jersey
coast alone during the past week. In each instance
the crews worked not only with great hardihood
andendurancc. frequently riskng their own lives 10
save the shipwrcckod crews but with skill and M
fclligcnre. In the case OF the Norwegian ship
which was wrecked of Long Branch. they worked
al great disadvantage, "a the crew on the ship
could not understand the directions sent ont with
the line to the vessel They did not second their eff
forts, and had 10 bc saved almost in spite Of them
selves. The point at which the Sadie struck was
thc vory spot wherr, III the same week OF the year
thir. y-thIce years ago, the john Minturn was
wrecked and in full sight OF the fishermen on shore,
powrr,c,s to help three hundred souls went down
in the surf Most OF them were SOuthorners coming
North Tor the Winter. The bodies of many delicate
women AID pretty babies clasped in the arms OF
their black nurses, were washed ashore and are
buried in the sands Of the village graveyard.
On tho very same point OF the treacherous bar the
Minerva with 800 German cmigrants, was LOST.
These and hundreds of Otner similar disasters Oc-
cured before the establishment of the Lfc-Say-
ing Service The comparative ease and pTomptne>,
wfth which the crews of these two vessels during
this week have been brought ashore IN the same
peril, not life lost is the best proof of the value
OF this service to the country, and to every man
who takes ms life in his hand and goes down into
the seas

The pleasant hope is held out from Wash
ington that the Chinese Exclusion bill may
not become a law. after all. 1t lies upon the
Speakers table in the House, and can hardly
be reached at this stage Of the session unless
the rules are suspended by two-thrds vote.
As it Is doubtful whether this can be OBJ
tanned. there seems good reason to hope that
tins pet measure OF the demagogues may fan 10y
default, if not by downright defeat Ii would
have given greater satisfaction, IN three
fourths OF the States ~ the Union, at least.
