“TY STATE CIPITAL, Protection for Life Insurance Policy Holders, DRUG CLERKS? BLUNDERS, A CURE FOR Proposed $2,000,000 Appropriation in Aid of Railroads. ALBANY, March 10, 1871, After # long struggle, during which THE LIVE INSURANCE COMPANIES? representatives have 1 along fought the measure with a determination worthy of a betier cause, the Flagg bill, to protect policy holders, bas finally passed in the Assembly by an overwhelming vote— 74 to 12, Selkreg and Scribner, tho moment the Dill was called up today, started atong, hand-in-hand, to miake its advocates have as hard a road to travel as poesible, and alinough they did not gainasingle poimt or convert a solitary member to their way of thinking who had not already made up his mind to yote aguinst the measure, they succee ‘ed in keepmg the House tn hot water over the thing for nearly an entire hour, Scrivner, who lias very good reasons to be opposed to anything that would benefit policy hold- erg and at the same ume force the companies to act as though fay dealing had something to do with their way of doing business, did his very best, by violent gesticulation and harsh, shricking voice, to make the members belicve that the bill opened the door to fraud end left (ue compames at the “anercy of merciless barpies.” “As a lawyer,’ said he, “[ gesert that it will cut of te plea of forgery.” Now this was rather ambiguous; but the meaning the gentleman meant to convey was jin enough to be understood by Mr. Alyord, who, "as & lawyer,” repiiod that the other lawyer’s logal knowledge was not ‘‘commensurate with the: facts, if he was reaily serious in his as- sertion. “by, continued the Giant, “ihe moment the breath icavs man’s body the companies spit about ivand, HDi, on tue strength of ib rejuse to pay over to ihe widow aud cluldrea wuatis their due. ‘They STEAL TRAE PREMIUYS. paid upon pelicies wich they lavisit upon their Officers and clerks, The people demand that some Aci like tuis should pass. 1he compames musi be snade to take all due precaution agaiust fraud and not be allowed to take une chances, with the veriatuty that a charge of sraud agemst th Insured party, made alter death, will sav them irom ‘tae trouble of not only paying their just dues, but the premiums they desire to steal away.’ Lituejobu also poured shot and shells into the companies, and vethered the opponents of the bill half to Geata with all sorts of questions coneern- ing the working of insurance companies, to answer which they bad to beat avout the bush ina very ridicalous manner, Hayes, of New York, also made @ dash at ‘the rotten , the rascalities rnd the thiey of the companies. The discussion wis ended by Mr. telkreg overmg a resointion to haye the bill recoun pitted to the Committee of In- surance, With Mustructions to put flye years instead pl thr ears in that portion of the bill which Jimits time during which a plea of fraud can be mace ugainst a policy holder. Irving called the yeas aid nays on tue motion, and tho resuit foresuadowed the fate of the bill, The voie stood 28 yeas to 72 nays, and the bill was finally passed by a vote of 74 to 12, several of the meinbers who had voted on Selkreg’s motion having, Yor veasons of ticlr own, stowed themsoaves away in the lobbies during tre taking of the yote. It may Re, as well lo state, in view of tne fact that there are ve difteréut life msurance pills now belore the House, that this Flagg bill is that whieh provides ihat no hfe lnsnrance company can putia adefence that a poliey was obtained by fraudulent representation aiter a gorse three Sunaal payed 9j the cy— the fact thal such yideuts were Cele. are ehasidersd ry ene & Saft Of si ent con. sent to the fraud, if there was any, on the company’s part, The most strenuous efforts were made by the Ife lusurahce companies to defeat the bill, and the Tesn}t ot thoir labors is a pretty sure mdici ‘Mr, Huested’s bill making: POLICIES NON-PORFRITABLE Bec also pass, notwithstanding thetr opposition. any life insurance company ofiicers have had sue a Ingh time of tt for years, King fortunes and diving riotousiy from tho hard earnings of the poor, whom they have robbed and de- franded im ways (that have assumed of late the stringency of iaw without any of its Sccracls. are at @ loss to understand why the Legisiature should all of a sudden take them so sharply to task.

There was for the advocates of the — bill, amended, to believe that it would) go through in the long run, had it not been for the stand taken by Senators Pierce and Murphy against any Imerease in the salaries, It was the Sepemop of these two geutlemea, revealed m tue caucus of the Kings county delegation last night, thar caused Mr. Jacobs to pull down pis flag this morning in the House, aud surrender with as gool 2 grace as he could under the circumstances, ‘The vote on the origmal Will, uncrefore (87 yeas ty 2 Hays), Was a Mere lormality, and was in no wise indicative of the real sense of the House on the question of the tucrease, Last ie when Brookiyn was made a separate dis- viet, the sergeants were gelling $1,600 and the men $1,200, and this they obtalued unl Jase January, When, according to the provisions of the act creating the district, le new scale was to be adopted of $1,200 for sergeants and $1,090 for the men.

Now that the quarrel iu the New Jersey Legisia- ture between the people of Paterson and tho Erie | Raiiway has been disposed of in the inierest. of the latter the Jersey City Board of Aldermen is preparing to open the fight on be- half of Jersey City. ‘The act of last Fear which exempted the Erle Railway property | from taxation Is the main issue, and to repeal this every effort willbe made, A bill for that purpose is now before the Legislature. As there was a lively debate on this question at the latest meeting of the Board of Aldermen, a HERALD reporter called | | on Colonel Berthoud, division superintendent of | the Eric, yesterday to ascertatu his views ou the subject. This gentleman, who acquired considerable ex- perience as a railroad man onthe Morris and Essex i previous te his connection with the Erie was, very frank and outspoken. The following 1s an epitome of his statement:—The Erie Rallway Company has paid into the treasury of Jersey City tens of thousands of dollars annually in the shape of local taxation, while ali the other railway companies were exempt. We went to 'rrenton Jast year and we addressed the members of the Legislature as fair-minded men for the pur- fhe of removing this inequality, Genuiemen, we said, TAX ALL THE RAILWAYS, OR TAX NONE. ‘We have no see to bear our just share of | ; this barden, provided our case is not the exception, Why make the digtinctton against the Erie? Our montaly payroll in Jersey City ,is from $85,000 to $100,000 @ month, or more than that of all the other railways that run into the city com- bined. You recollect when the strike oc- curred in our Jersey City weriohope: how the | Seventh ward was on the verge of pauperism. And yet the people of Jersey City seew pot to take this question into account. Now, say, if wo are to be taxed while all other rail- Ways are exempt, it will be to our advan- lage to remove our workshops to Port Jervis. | This very matter was under consideration | | last year.” Port Jervis 13 an intermediate ypoint, Detter adapted as a location for our. machine siops | than Jersey City, aud thither we will certainly re- move a8 yon as SPECIAL LEGISLATION be brought to bear against us.
