To the Editor of The Chicago Tridune: Bir: Inanswer to Mr, Hombleton's queries on Lhis point, growing out of tho racent docision of Judge Drummond in the caso of C. J. Ham- bleton vs. The Home Insurance Company of Now York, I dosire to say that this docislon is not so dangorous to the interosts of tho asaured, nor so subveralve of the ordinarily-underatood prinei- ples of insuranco, as Mr, Hamblolon scems to suppose. So far ag tho prinoiples of law therein la1id down are concorned, they aro such as are suataiuod by the highost muthority; so farna tho faols are concorued, Judge Drummond sim- ply decided that thers was no comploted con- tract Lotweon tho parties,—in other words, that the minds of the parties had not mot, Tho ranowal upon which tho plaintiff rolied was nob & contract mado with himself or his authorizod ogont, but simply o conversation betweon a so- licitor of tho Company and tho pariner of Mr, Hambleton's agont, who, in fact, know nothing whatever about the property, and did not pro- foss to have any authorily in regard to it; and, whoa tho bill was afterwards presented, no nt- teution aeoma to bave been paid to it by any one. It is no undoubted rulo in tho law of insur- ance that the conditions of & policy as to tho ayment of tha premivm may bo waived ; and, Fu Lhis very opinion, Judge Drummond aays thal this waiver may bo proved cither by facts ex- pressiy shown, or bv nocossary implication, or by ciroumstances showling the intont of tha partios. It aiould n)so be borno in mind that, in this €080, N0 polio{ wan_ever mado out or ronewal- certificato delivored, nor did it any way ap- ear thut the regular agonts of the Company End any knowlodgo whatover of tho action of tho solicitor. But Mr, Hambloton asks whother wo ars in- sued when wo have taken a policy and Enm our romium, and suggosts the caso whora tho agont Fiia not pattl ovor tira pramiaes to. the GOt when tho property is burned and tha Compnny refuxcs to pay, on the ground that the promiumn s never boon paid to them. ‘Ihat quostion ia ensily answerad, and supported by tho authority of & recont denision in the Unitod States Circuit Court in this city,—tho case of Thomas Cahill v, The Andes Insurance Company. Inthiscase the policy woa ‘placed” by a molicitor who Lad no special connoction with or authority from avy insurance company ; but, whenover he could optain the privilege of “placing” any fu- surance,'ho did 80 with whatever company ha could make favorable arrangemonts, Cahill wanted somo_ inaurance, oand the_ solicitor placed” the risk with the Audea, and took tho policy to him, and soon afterwards colleoted the promium. That premium he nover turned over to_the Company, and, whon the regular agent called on Cabill for it, e sald that ha ledr!mld it to thoe sol r. Tho agont denied the right of tho solicitor to rocsive the premium, aud aaid that the Company would not bo bound by this paymout, Lut should caucel tho policy, under the clanse authornzing them uo to do on non-payment of ths premium for thirty deys. Accordingly, the agont sont Mr, Oabill written notico of tho cancollation of the polioy for non- pavment of premiutn, The {)rannrtv having bean destroyed in the @reat Fire, Colill brought suit upon the policy, and, on tho trial, Judfin todgott ruled that the .polioy was still in force and binding on the Company ; that, by delivor- ingtha policy to the solicitor, they made him their represontative for tho purposos of that risk, and for recolving the prawinwm ; tnab poay- ment o hiim was paymont to tho Company ; and, if he failod to psy over tho money to the Com- ay it was £hoir lose ; and this, nobwithataud- ug tho fact that tho polioy contained s clause that the polioy should nos teko effcct until the promium was actuslly pud. Judgment wos ren- derad against tho Company for the full amount of the polioy with intorast. It ig a woll-settled principle in insurance law that conditions in tho %a!iuy may ha waived, sud that such waiver may be by parol; sud in the casa of W, O.Swelt vs, The Stale Insurance Com= pm:ly‘ decided lnst year by Judge Drummond, he hold that, in order to constituce a vahd contract of ineurance, it is not necessary that a polioy be wade out and delivered, nor that the premiuvm be paid; and that a recovery may be had upon a verbal contract for insurance, But thero must be an aciual existing coniract; to use tho old formuls of tho law-books, Lhe minds of the partios must moot, and thon both pertiea are bouod, The Foderal Qourts in this Circult bavo, I baliovo, gons tho fu'l longth of theauthorties in protecting the assured, and all conrts aro inclined to construe policies fuvorably towards tho insured, and very slight acts and circumstances aro held tote a good wawver of striugent clauson printed in {ine print, For decisions of our Supromo Court a8 to tho suthority of agonts, and bow far their acts ara biading uponjtho Conipauy, consult Karmers’ and Merchants’ Insurance Company vs. Chestnul, 60 ltinois Tieports, 111 ; Etna Insurance Company ©s, MAaguire, b1 Illinois, 343 Winnesheik Insur- ance Lompany vs. MHolzgrafe, 53 Illinois, 516.

Balloch. After ono yonr's continuunce, the Freedmen's Burenu was oxtendod and 1ts powers amplified; and, in 1867, it was orderod to pay ponsions to tho colored soldiors. Ballooh gradually got control of &ll the largo sums roquired -for these purposcs, while Gon, Howard wasg performing various humanita- rian worka througliont the North, and receiving roligious praisos from nowspapers and orators, He ostablished o University for colored peoplo at Washington, at & cost of £600,000, raised an ologant Congregational church in tho same city, ooucelvod o aystem of banks to save the wages of the frood laborers; and so porfectly wore the nogroes instructod in their political opportunity, that Fernando Wood, in the epring of 1870, mnde nn aggressive movoment upon tho Burean snd upon Howard porsonally.

It ian signifi- cant fact, howovor, that not s farmor in thin entiro sgction of tho country has raised his voico or pon to galnsay the fairness or truthfulneus of that obnoxlous communication. ‘I'ha opposition biag been contined solely to mien who would ba uzzled to dlstingalsh o corn-stalk from n Cana- o thiatlo, and whe probably nevor held & plow or hetvestod n kornel of graln, As statod be- {foro, therais some land in tho northera pact of The and the * Terrltory, on the Cacho In Poudro, and In tho “viclnity of Evaus, Longuont, Boulder, Grooloy, ~ where modlwm oropsi can bo ralved with irrigation;. but, at tho #ame time, faking the originnl cost of ditohes and repairs iuto considaration, I queation whather thoso vory same farmors could not make more mnionoy atock-raising or mining, end ime port their whoat, oatn, corn, aud vegeiables, from the States.
