NKW YORK HERALD. THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1871.—TRIPLE SHEKY, i q ee ! ‘this respect, and which Mmit wemserves amainly to government and State bonds, with loans on real estate worth at least double the amount, can permanently secure the entire confidence of the public. A security which is liable to large depreciation, either from its own uncertain value or by reason of financial pressure; is not a fit investment for our life companies, which can really be considered only in the light of trustees of the money deposited in their charge. The trouble that ‘has arisen among some of the insurance com- panies in England is chiefly owing to their bad investments—to their having been guided, in fact, more by the interest of their officers and directors than by a wish to do justice to those insured with them. In judging for themselves, the public mani- festly gives . preference to long-established, leading companies, the record of whose trans- actions inspires confidence and offers the best guarantee for sound and profitable manage- ment—such, for example, as the Mutual Life, Connecticut Mutual, Mutual Benefit, Knicker- bocker, Equitable Life and a few ‘others which might be named as having won abroad, as well as at home, the credit of being care- fully and honestly administered. Tovitations have been addressed by Supsrin- tendent Miller to tho life insurance superin- tendents and Commissioners of all the diffor- ent Siates to meet in New York city on the + 24th instant. It is to be hoped that this con- vention will attain its objoct, which is to secure, if-possible, friendly co-operation in promoting uniformity and other desirable im- provements in life insurance business and legislation throughout the Union.

To THR FpiToR oF THE HeRALD:— Knowing full well that you are always desirous of pleasing those who patronize your valuable paper 1 take the liberty of expressing the following idea:— As there has been so much talk about the so-called “Ku Klux” outrages at tne South, do you not think it would be a very good plan to make and publish a list of all the murders and house burnings north of the Mason and Dixon line for the last six months, and of all the murders and house burnings south of the Mason and Dixon line for the same period of time? And by that means I think you will find that there is more “Ku Kluxing’’ Norti, gocording to the number of population, than atthe South. By doing you will greatly oblige FACTS, BASE BALL.

The fishermen employed in the inland waters of East Long Island have for the past few days been laboring under much excitement. The question at issue is, the shore seine interests versus purse nets. The manufacturing of oll and guano from moss- bunkers, menhaden, or white fist; {3 an interest the magnitude of which Is little understood away from the immediate neighborhood. In the recent act passed by the Legislature for the protection of game aod fish the use of purse nets in any of the waters of the island Gardner’s and Little Peconic Bay is prohibited, The question rests with the dividing line between Little and Great Peconic Bay. A part of the fisher- men deciare that the 1ntentyjon 0: the framers of the law was to embrace a part of what is sometimes called Great Peconic Bay. One day last week some of the fishermen took the law into their own hands, and attempted to drive out the purse-net fisherman. Captains Moses Downs and John Brown, it seems, fastened their yacht on to the yacht George B. Reeve, of Mattituck, and actually towed him and his purse-nets out of the bay, It is alleged that rotten eggs and stale fish were the projectiles used by the warlike vessels. ‘Ihe matter is about to be brought into court, and, a3 @ matter of course, botn parties claim to be the injured ones.
