ALBANY, April 4, 187% There 1s great weeping and gnashing of tceth among the democratic members of both houses to- day over the disaster which yesterday in Connecticut | |W. Jerome, Edw. K. W befel. the cause they worship so profitably, evening they were skipping about the Last hall the average duration of life of a large number | and vestibules as frolicsome as lambs, and the of persons, and thus give a single life the bencfit of this calculation.” By way of illustration | itis stated that a man's expectancy of life is of course the number of years which the average at his age will attain. To assure his life, therefore, a sum must be charged to him annually which, computed with four per cent compound interest for the years of his ex- pectancy, will come to the amount for which he wishes to insure. With a view of moeting such contingencies as may possibly arise from increased mortality or from unforeseen causes, a small addition is made to this annual pay- ment. This is briefly the principle upon which life insurance works. This paramount object being attained, it happens, however, says the Protector, that the estimate for con- tingencies excecds, in well managed compa- nies, the necessities of the case. This arises in part from the fact that the rate of interest ebtainable on investments is larger than what was taken into the calculation, and from there being certain otber sources of profit to a com- pany from lapsed and surrendered policies ; a large fund denomiuated a surplus thus fro- quently accumulates, which in mutual compa- nies is intended for distribution among their policy holders, * oan It will easily be understood that it takes some time to realize the enormous accumu- lative power of compound interest—an im- portant part of the foundation upon which the system of life insurance rests. It must, there- fore, be manifest to every policy holder that it is for his advantage to allow his dividends to collect for some years before touching them, asthe compound interest alone gives a com- pany much additional power to make returns. The dividends will thus become proportion- ably larger. The period selected by English offices to declare a ‘‘bonus,”. as it is called in England, is usually after the payment of the fifth annual premium, and it has been found to work more satisfactorily, both to the assurer and to the assured, than an earlier dividend. Such is a brief statemont of the real facts surrounding the question ;.and we believe that those life insurance companies which will abandon the system of declaring ihjudged dividends for the sake of popularity will also, in the long run, commend themselves most to the favorable opision of the public as being the more thoroughly conservative, aud hence entitled to the greater confidence. Tax Demoorats were badly beaten in Con- necticnt on Monday. That's the “plaiu Eng- lish” about that. Ir is Sratep OrriciatLy in the New Do- minion Parliament that the Canadian claims for Fenian raid expenses had been submitted tothe Joint High Commission, and that if they were not entertained they would be pressed upon the attention of the imporial government, If the ferocious Dominion will insist upon this matter we must claim the right to offset the sum by our own claims of dam- ages during the St. Albans rald and for the imprisonment of our Irish citizens in 1866 on suspiciun of being Fenians, and also for our expenses in doing what the ferocious Domin- fon could not do—suppreasing and dispersing the raiders on two occasions, capturing the Fenian general and watching with our war ships the movements along the lakes and about the ports of Maine, If the Mrocious Dominion will not allow these offsets we shall have to wait meekly on tho pleasure of the ferocious Dominion to do with us as it likes, Boss Tween is still hopeful of Connecticut. He does not expect a Waterloo defeat of the republicaus, but he feels sanguine of an Eng- lish victory of some sort, Toe AnnvaL Reports or. tie Drrart- meNts.—We are glad that Mayor Hall his called upon each department of the city gov- ernment to present, not later than tho Ist of May, a report of the work of the last fiscal year.

Peck. The lower house evidently felt very much gratified at the solemnity of the extraordinary occa- sion, and they prepared themselves for it by a rather peculiar exhibition of liberal debate, Jast before the Senate entered, Gleason, of St, Lawrence, cried out thai Peck was the choice of the republicans. Alvord at ouce jumped to his feet and paid Weaver a liga compliment, and wound up by saying he was not hound to vote for anybody eise, gnd so would vote for him, Heusted got mad at this, and tried to screech out his opinion about party measures, While he kept yelling about one thing several others kept yelling avout some other thing, and the Speaker leat music to the whole dis- cord by making his gavel beat a tattoo on the block before him, so as to secure order. Winally, when it was secured Ficids got up and remarked, “I've often heard ofa legislature being turned toto a bear garden, but I uever knew one to become ap aviary before.

Nelson, of Cortiand county, did his best to save the bill, but all his efforts proved useless im the end, Tee bill was meant to repeal that of last year, which was smuggled through the Senate by a ‘dodge.’ Certain provisions of the latter com- pelled canal bouts, brick and lumber bouts, barges aud floatmg elevators to pay the most exorbitant rates of Wharlage; for instance, elevators and hght- ers were made not as of ola to pay 80 nach per cay Jor whartage, but were charged full wharfago for every time they moved daring the dey trom tie whark The owuers of the foatiag elevators prow. ised if the present bill were passed to reduce their rates one-iou yetsee the result, When it was reported favorabiy to-day from the Co Ciftes, Mosiev, of Kings, tried to get Mittod to the Committee on Commerce and d tion, If this move hat been successful, as it We not, the bill would never have been heard o' Agwin, “Th Was finally ordered to @ (hird reading ain (3 Opponents were in a terrible way, This ey vig they showed they had vot been idie all the aflerioon.
