but has gone the way that many mutuais have
gone before-into liquidation. Its policy holders

Company's afiairs, desired to surrender their poll
eies aud get back their premium notes, but "to
their surprise, the editor Of the fadeeRdes says,
the request was declined, and they were further
Surprised" by n notice demanding payment Of

dspesdsHf advised the victims Of this unfortunate

"victims" may squirm rs they piease u will be Of
no avail, for they are not only bound 10 pay the
l2l per cent. demanded on their premium notes,
but even 100 per cent if the directors order IL,
and these assessments may be repeated rs often
the directors may deem necessary so long ~ they
hold the notes, the surrender Of which appears to
be optional with themselves. These notes differ
from an ordinary promissory note, Ia that pay
ment Of the latter can be demanded but once while
payment In full Of the former imposes no obiiga-
tion on the company holding Il To give II up. IL
Is not at all surprising then that those aware Of
this fact prefer to insure in stock insurance
panies, for should one Of thesc be compelled to
''iiquidate" tho insured could In no event lose
more than the premium he had paid.
The theory OF mutual insurance is n very piausi
ble one and It's admirers have expatiated on its
advantages long and eicquently and not without
success among the class Of people who want n
cheap article. A its advocates present IT, it ,ht
to be universally adopted. IL has had men
Of ability and integrity enlisted In the cause

Eo-Gen. y. d. Tyler, postmaster at Baltimore,
on Monday last sent his resignation to the Presi-
dent aud as soon rs his action became whispered
around lively fight was begun for the position.
The most prominent candidates were Col. Harrison
Adreon. Jehu d. Asksw and Peter Thompson. the
latter gentleman being backed by the Fulton
Thomas faction. Delegations were In Washing
ton on Wednesday, pressing the claims Of the sew
erai applicants with much vigor, but the President
settled the matter in the afternoon by sending tho
name Of Col. Adreon, who was strongly endorsed
by Hon Jas. A. Gary and the Union soldiers Of
the State, TO the Senate. Col Adreon is q native
Of baltimore city and = son Of the late William
AdreOn. lie is lawyer BY profession and q, the
breakng out Of the war entered the Union army
and served with distinction until lie close, being
promoted to the rank Of Colonel Of the 9Th Mary
land Regiment. lie was U. 3. Pension Agent at
Baltimore until that Office was abolished, and since
then, In connection with his brother, he has con-
dueted ONCE for the collection Of pensions. lie
has always been an earnest Republican and is very
popular. There 10 no doubt but that he will make
most acceptable postmaster.
As stated above the contest for this position was
very spirited and II thought early In the week
that Mr.. Thompson would be the lucky man. but
when Col. Adreons friends got To work they very
soon put different face on affairs. As we have
before said Mr.. Gary strongly favored the appoint
ment Of Col. Adreon. and in this connection the
following from the S"a'. reliable Washington cor-
respondent will prove interesting:
