THE OUTRAGE ON MN. KELSEY, Some facts in relation to the outrage itselt pave been developed which have not been pub- hed. and which are necessary to a perfect un- feretanding of the present phase of affairs. It ¢ alleged that on the nicht Sunday) previous to the tarring, some ten of twelve masked men metinthe houge of Dr. George B. Banka, ex- recting to find Kelsey at that time. The man, owever, did not appear, and the expeditic was given up for the night. On Monday even- lng Mr. Kelaey attended a Democratic meeting In the village, and it was while on his way home that he was seized and treated to the disagree- able coat of tar and feathers which it Is now supposed resulted in his death. ‘Th ¢( Huntington is lIned by two rows of tall trees, There are no lamps, and the 8ux reporter found tr difficult to travel even With tha ald of, two Citizens who led hin by the arm. Teis a dark, lonely, degerted street In the ight, and almost any a atrocity might be committed, and the perpetrator escape detection. Tt was in this nreet that Kelsey was seized by the masked en, They burried him into a small back #ireet, celled Platt street, until they reached a yolnthear an open lot, to the rear of Widow Cakley’s house. It iv lonely place, though in the heart of the village. He struggled violently, b rand strong. It is ssidithat be succeeded in tearing the masks from wo'of the wen and eried out: L know you! vulwill repent this!” The masked men STRIPPED HIM TO THE SKIN, It was a cold night, aud, the poor wretch must have suffered terribly, Then they cut off his balr close to bis head, and in dolng so great gwhes were made in his head, caused by the rapid clipping and his struggles, Having done this they covered him completely with tar and feathers, Dr. George B. Banks, after the op tion bad been performed, called Mr. and Mie. William J. Wood, Mr. and Mrs. John McKay, Mre, Oakley, and Miss’ Smmith, to look upon the victim of thelr outrage. The doctor says that he was not one of the party, but was called by them to see Kelsey after the operation bad been (fformed, and was then sont to call the others, (is sald that he held the lantern for the others to look upon the wretch, and that Kelsey threw boot at bin which broke the lantern. After had looked upon the shivering wretch, ‘us allowed to dress, and he started for home starun, A gentleman, who lives on the road, testifies’ that he saw a nan run by his house The sa hour, about 1) o'clock, and that he was pursued by several men, MISSING. Relsey went directly to his room, took off his Watch, and went down stairs with a water pall, It is supposed, to get water with which to wash himself. The pail was found in the yard the uext morning ; but Charles G. Kelsey was never seen by mortal eye again. Mr. Henry P.

For the past two years, he sald, we have been living in stirring times. Persons high in office have been displaced and stripped of the power and position they possessed.

That letter was written, signed, and pub- lished by the respondent, who had been a Jus- tice In that Court since the year 19867, It was bold, public, direct, and left no doubt In the ublic mind 4s to what was charged, It left the uit. of | Impression that there was something in that Court to investigate, What was the next step? ‘The respondent made no appeal to the Bar As- sociation. He made his appeal to the people at large. Counsel said he remeinbered well the time the initiatory step was taken for the f/ mation of this Bar Association, Three or four of us, he sald, met in asmall room and there laid the foundation for this organization. Twell remember the solemn, words uttered by one of those present, a man distinguished for his abi prominence in the bar, He said to us and we understood him, We knew the risk and danger of the step we Were about to take—the risk and danger of setting ourselves up against certain Judges, unscrupulous men, whe had alt the Bower conferred upon a Judge of the Supreme Dourt. Nevertheless, we went on and formed our Bar Association, But what was THE RESULT of this lotter published by Judge Curtis?

Now, for eight months thix respondent has been lying under the iinputation of crime, but he ts thankful for this opportunity to have his conduct, investt- gated. But, he said, I am astonished at the smalliess of the res which is only nen the promise made at the outset by the counsel for the prosecution, Those gentlemen came here charging the respondent with conspiracy, and with violating eleht stat The main | charge was that of receiving reference fees, but thre is not one particle of proof Justifying the charge.

Mor- ident Bxcelsior Life In Edward » President of the National Life Ins. Co.; C. W. Bouck, President Brooklyn Life Ins. Company. New York, Dec. 6, 1872. GextLeMen: We are in receipt of your favor of the 4th inst., asking our opinions in regard to the reduction of premiums to be charged for life Insurances by the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, as set forth in the pub- shed letter of its Actuary, Prof. Bartlett, to which our attention {s specially dirdcted. We have examined that circutar with care; its precise meaning is not clear, while some of its statements seem Inaccurate. Itis gravely proposed to reduce the cost of life Insurance by reducing the rates of premium. But the Actuary of that company, of all men, ought to Know that In a Mutual company the cost to the insured can enly be reduced by re ducing the working expenses. For the premium, #0 far as it is found to exceed the actual cost, is | returned to the Insured, with interest from year to year. Mutual rates are designedly, and certainly Bieta Waco reasse LDroett + the excess forms the capital, the balance . the perennial reservole which exalts contiugency into certainty. This has been most abundantly jeated in the history of the * Mutual Life’ itself. ‘The language of Prof. Bartieit’s letter is quite inaccurate when it speaks of reducing the mar- gin of the premtume from forty per cent. to ten, and may have misled many, as it has puzzled us. For in only one of the present premium cotumns ts the margin as high as forty per cent., and in some It Is only twenty-one per cent.; so that only afew of the margins are reduced tothe extent be mentions, To state it accurately, all the various additions to the net premium for expenses and contingencies are to be reduced to 0 per cent., and the rate per thousand for an ordinary life policy om @ person aged %, which ie now $22.20, will then be $17.82, while for a ftve-year endowment policy the charge willbe from $23 to $199, the proportionate reduction being thus greatest where the premium is least and the risk of the company the heaviest—a self-evident er- ror which peeds no further exposure from ue, ‘The next section of the Professor's letter pro- vides for the retention of the surplus—accruing from these new rates—untif It amounts to one (originally stated as two) annual premtum, which is to be retained as a margin for contingencies not provided against in the lower premiums ; but this very course wilt make the average out- lay of the insured for the first ten years greater than now, and cause the company to-retain on hand a much larger surplus than it mow dees. At present the average surplus on hand foreach policy {s only about 40 per cent. of the annual premium, while on the new plan itwill iu time become at least 100 per cont. ‘The following sections may be regarded as necessary sequences to the one just mentioned, ‘They are as fottows : 2 That these credits be held to be assessable to meet any deficit that may arise from any eir- cumstances what ever. 8. That in case of death the whole of the re- versionary credit to be paid to the heirs, as at present. The fourth and last we would fain believe a misprint, but we are assured to the contrary, a8 ft is the same in all the publications, viz: 4. That exieting policy-holders may have the option either to leave their policies undisturbed and pay their old rates, receiving, of coume, thelr proportional dividends and reversionary edits, oF to take Out new policies, with thele existing credits added, and pay the new rates corresponding to thelr then present age, pro- vided they subject themselves to a now medical examination, and are pronounced assurable, It {s diMcult to properly characterize its terms, and we are quite sure that no intelligent present policy-holder will care to accept the second op- tion It affords, as he would thereby forfeit all his share in the present reserves except as to divi- dends, As to the general plan, it i¢ a virtual abanden- ment of those cardinal principles of security end equity upon which the claims of the Mutual Life Insurance Company to the confi- dence of its poliey-holders and of the com- munity have rested. It cannot be carried into eect without injustice to existing policy-hold- ere and a decrease in their security, If carried out atall, the reduced rates should apply not only te future members, but also to existing policy-holders, sick and well, without nece: tating changes in existing contracts by impos- ing new conditions, which may be prejudicial to their interests, as well as to their security. ‘The reserves of the old policies are in éffect to he used as @ capital stock, to bear the expen of getting new business at stock rates, w must considerably exceed the margins of the new premiums, But this expense to che old members cannot be reimbursed to them by profite derived from the new ones at any future time, because they are matus! members, and atitied to any surplus that may ever accrue from thelr own premiums, How far tt is competent for the trustees of a strictly mutual corporation to admit persons to membership upon terms more favorable than have been, and continue to be, exacted from existing members, is @ question ef law, as well as of mathematics and equity; butif new mem- bers are to be admitted into the Mutuai Life as the expense of those already insured—as will be the oase if the plan Is carried Into effecs, and the seourity of the Intter be lessened thereby—then it ta an fnjustice, of which every policy holder in that company has a right to complain. Nothing ean express our views better than the language a Life Company only second to the “ Mutual” in size, which thus announces its intention not to reduce its rates Nothing containing any element of hazard truly safé unless more than apparently safe; = purely mutual company has no resource what- ever beyond the premiums charged pon its policies; wherefore these premiums must be apparently hgher than any foreseen contingency will exhaust, or future solvency Is in peril. The cash premiums of the Mutual Life re= celved from 1843 to 19T) were $64,677,770.28, an shown by {ts published statements, and the working expenses were $10,083,080.58, or 16.29 per cent. The expenses could not well have been much less if the premiums bad been lower. By the reduction proposed by Prof. Bartlett, the Premiums would have been about $59,000,000, which would have made the expenses not much, if any, less than 20 per cent. or double the wargins now proposed for new policies. A com pany to be composed entirely of such policies could not stand without a large capital behind it, anid no person of much common sense can contend that what ts too weak to stand alone can add strenth to anything. We are unhesitatingly of opinion that the re- duction of premiums as proposed by the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York is unwise, defictent in security, unjust to existing policy- holders, and prejudicial to their rights and ine terests, and deserving our unqualified disap- proval. We are confident, however, if the ‘Trustees of the Mutual Life should carefully econsider the matter, they will see that they are about to take a step unwarranted by thelr own experience or that of any other company, and will decide to refrain from It.
