To the Editor of the Kennebec Journal: When at Augusta I enquired if you weald publish an article respecting Life Insurance, my object being to bring the subject before the Legislature, for the purpose of obtaining a change in the law of our State respecting State supervision over Insurance. Too said if there was nothing personal, you saw no ob jection, as Life Insurance was something in which a general interest is felt. I told you I would inform you by letter the substance of what I should want to put in j our paper when the Legislature is in session. 1 shall first give an account of a Life Insurance Company which our Commissioner refutes to admit in to this State. I lie Protection Life Insurance Company of Chicago, Illinois, which has been doing busi ness about four years, baa at the present time about 10,000 members. It has a capital of 200,000 dollars. The State Auditor’* certifi cate shows that on the 31st day of last De ct mber, it had two dollars of assets for every dollar of liability; $100,000,00 of its capital ia deposited with the Treasurer of the State for the benefit of the assured, and any claim up on the Company that is not paid within ninety days after it has been adjusted, can be ob tained by calling upon the Treasurer a* pro vided by the law of the State of Illinois, and the company can do no more business until the sum that is thus taken ia restored by the company. The company publishes a month ly paper, which is sent to each member of the company, free of expense except pottage, in which an account it given of the butinesa done the preceding month, in each paper the name and residence of each person that bat died, that was insured in the company, and also the amount that hat been paid upon each death claim, aniount'ng to $712,932.91 up to the 1st of last month. It has done business on the following plan; viz. on a policy of $5,000.00, its charges snd admission fee of $20.00, and a deposit of $10.00, of a person that is not more than forty years old, as se curity for the payment of each assessment for death losses age above forty, a proportional sum according to rate of premium. It baa no classes but is an entire company, each one being assessed according to age and amount insured. Assessments are made at the eitd of each month to pay the death losae* of the month, and as each member has to make a deposit sufficient to cover the assess ment of the month, the assessments are vir tually paid in advance. If the member fails to pay his assessment within thirty days after it is made, the company pays it with the money deposited by him, and cancels his policy. The membership of the company may fail, but the company cannot fail so long as it has 5000 members, for the reason that $5,000.00 is the largest amount insured on one life, and the company has a right to assess ea~b member to pay the death losses, having in ita treasury money deposited by the members to pay the assessments with, if the members tail to pay. From present appearances, there is little dan ger of the failure of membership. The con tract between the company and the assured in the policy given, is that the assnred after the first year, shall pay annually to the com pany the sum of five dollars for doing the business, and also all assessments made to pay the death losses, the cost of insurance be ing $5 00 for expense of doing the basinets, and his proportional part, according to age and amount insured, of death lottes. The company on its part agrees to continue the in surance, provided the above conditions are complied with. Now if the company should stop business, you see that those who entered it at the commencement would lose nothing as they have paid to the company no more than the actual expense of d$ath losses, and a fixed sum for doing the business. Their con dition would certainly be very different from those who insured in the 40 failed up compa nies, where they hare been paying four times as much money as was needed to pay the death losses, under a promise that the extra amount should be returned in part by divi dends, and the remainder put into a reserved fund for the benefit of the assured, but bat been spent for extravagant and unneceaaary expense, such at 12 or $15,000.00 for office 50 per cent, nf the first premium paid to agents furniture, $15,000 00 salary for a President, and other officers in proportion, from 30 to for obtaining n risk. If the premium amounted to $100 00, and it often exceeds that sum, the assured puid to agent from $30.00 to $50 00 for the privilege of entering the company. 1 he company has encountered a determined opposition from agents of other companies, statements have been made in the papers by agents, which they must have known to be false at the time they were made—such as the company has failed; its assets were in the hands of a receiver; it never paid any death losses, &c. l’lease look at a monthly paper I have sent you. The company not with standing the great opposition, is licensed in most of the Western States, in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia and Ver mont, and has been refused license in only four States so far as I know, where applica tion has been made, viz.: California, New York, New Hampshire and Maine. About one year ago, I applied to Mr. Nye for a license. After showing him evidence of its financial condition, he said that he saw no reason why it was not entitled to a license, but said the year was so near out that he bad rather have a delay to the end of the year, and if it was in a good condition at the end of the year as it was at the end of the preceding year, he would give a license, but before I obtain documents showing the condition of the company at the end of the year I received a letter from him stating that he did not think it would be for the interest of the State to ad mit that company into it. I however ob tained the necessary documents from the State officers, aqd called again on Mr. Nye; he told me, at first, that he could not admit the company into the State, if he should he would have Paine and some others on his back, but after talking with him awhile he said, if I would have the papers, he would examioe them, and if he could would give a li cense. After waiting several weeks 1 re quested him by letter to decide whether be would give a license or not, and received for answer that he thought the manner of doing business by the company was wrong, and that it could not succeed in business. When at Augusta lately, I had another talk with Mr. Nye and he told me that he would not license the company, let the financial con dition be what it might; and gave aa a reason that he did not like the manner in which it does business; that in his opinion it cannot long con tinue in business. 1 consider his reason inval id. I suppose the whole object of State super vision is to inform the public of the financial condition of companiea doing business in the State, and to license none that had not coai plied with the law of the State respecting eap 1 [CONCLUDED ON FOURTH l'AOK.J

§ailjt Juunctct fonrral AUUUdTA. SATURDAY MORNINO. Nov. 21, 1874. THE i(VC>. If C*« and Unll«Uo»». The New York Tribune attempts to criticise the position taken by Speaker Blaine in his letter and by the Portland Press in its accompanying editorial—that the question of the Senatorship now pend ing in this State, should be settled inside of the Republican party in “a full, free, fair and open caucus.” The caucus 13 simply anucewuj, uui only in political organizations, but in all other associations where division of senti ment arises and where those thinking alike wish to conso'idate their strength and make it effective. Every President of the United States, since General Wash ington, has been put forward by caucus nomination—tho caucus originally be ing composed of the members of l on gress—but since 1824. for a lull hall cen turv, each successive President has beep nominated by a National Convention wInch Is simply a caucus on a large scale. In deed a National. Convention is a caucus born of an indefinite scries of caucuses— each delegate being chosen by the caucus of a State Convention—the State Conven tion itself being composed of members chosen by primary caucuses. Mr. Greeley was the nominee of two such Na tional Conventions, and wa3 actually put forward by the largest series of caucuses that ever aided In presenting a candidate to the American people. The 1 ribune never yet supported a Presidential candi date from Clay to Greeley, or a Guberna torial nominee from Seward to 1 ilden that was not put forward by a convention that was the outgrowth of numberless caucuses. Nor, since the Tribune was in existence, has any United States Senator been chosen in New York without being first put forward by the Legislative caucus of the dominant party. If the Tribune ever protested against the practice it has escaped our observation. The limitation of the caucus is where the end is carried by unfair and corrupt means, or where the nominee is a corrupt and unfit man. In such a case, it we cor rectly understand the position of the Press and the Speaker alike, they would justify bolting, as we assuredly would, not only justify, but advise it. But very hap pily in the case under consideration, these circumstances do not enter even by hint or suspicion. No one asserts or even imagines that the Re publican members of the Legislature will.do anything else than act from pure motives and the whole list of gentlemen presented as candidates for the Senate does not contain a name to which the re motest suggestion of dishonor attaches. How then among political friends, we re spectfully ask tho New York Tribune, where there are several candidates ol high character and fitness, are you going to devise atij’ better or more honorable mode of deciding who shall be taken than by leaving the question to tho old-fashioned “free, fair and open caucus Differ as the Republicans of Maine may as to can didates, they do not differ as to the mode of settling their differences The Commissioner of Pensions has sub mitted his annual report to Secretary De lano. It gives a review of the business of the office up to include June last. It rec ommends that higher fees be paid exam ining surgeons, so that better talent can be commended. The amount of appro priation that will be required for tho pen sion service during the fiscal year ending June 30, 187C, will be $30,500,000. The Gardiner Home Journal copies with gusto the strictures of the Press on Speaker Blaine's letter but does not per mit its readers to see that letter. For manliness and courtesy the Journal is pe culiar. POLITIOAL. Tbe Utica Observer, since the letter of Governor Seymour declining to bo o candi date for United States Senator, advocates the election of Francis Kernan. Tbe tone of the republican press of tbe rcuntry shows that the republican party w ill Dot abandon its advocacy of sound financial policy any more than the republican adminis tration will. Both remain true nnd tlrm. The fight for the democratic leadership in the next Congress will be interesting to spec tators. There is no democratic member who is recognized as of sufficient prominence to entitle him to the position. A number of small fry politicians w ill struggle for the place, and among that class the struggle will be bitter and animated. Despatches from Prescott, Arizona Terri tory, says that the official returns shows that C. C. Bean was elected delegate to Congress over Stevens, who was supposed to be elected. They both ran as republicans. Gres', excite ment exists in consequence of the disc ivery and the election is to be contested. Democratic Kentucky can claim the dis tinction of being the only State which shows a republican gain in Congressional delegation. Tbe mountaineers of the 9th district elected John D. White by a decisive majority. 'I he succesaful candidate is only twenty-six years of age, a graduate of the College of Arts of the Kentucky University, and of law at the Michigan University. His grandfather was Speaker of the Twenty-Fjurth Congress, lie it the first Republican Congressman Ken tacky has sent for six years, and will be the youngest member of the next Congress. The second oldest church building in Phil adelphia has been torn down, and its site will be occupied by a business edifice. It stood on Fifth street, near Arch, and was erected in 174#. It was owned by Lutherans, and known as Old St. Michael’s. Tbe Old Swedes' Chnrch, which is still standing, vti built prfor to 1700, It is now occupied by Episco NEW YORK A REPUBLICAN STATE. We have now the full official vote in the State, and can proceed to deduce intelligible and just conclusions. The examination may furnish occasion for some reproach to Repub licans, but none for discouragement. The vote on Governor is as follows Democratic, 416.5-.7 Republican, 0.10 Temperance,' 11.077 Total, 793,074 This total is 40,477 less than the aggregate vote of lb72, which was 840,151. The vote of the two parties in 1872 and. 1874 compares as follows Republicans, 187-', 417,'01 Republicans, 1874, 30>,0i0 Republican decrease, 81,771 democrats, 1872, 392 350 Democrats, 1871, 416.507 Democratic increase, 24,217 But though the Democrats thus increase j their vote over 1872, and though they have a plurality of 50,537, it will be observed that their aggregate vole is less than the Republi cans ol the State have cast at several elec tions. This will be seen by comparing it with the Republican vote in 1808, as follows Republicans, 1868, 419,883 Democrats, 1874, 410,567 Republican excess. 3,310 It will be answered that though the Repub licans cast so large a vote in 18G8, the Demo cratic vote was still larger, being 439,833 and thus giving a Democratic majority of 30,000. But no candid man now pretends to deny that about 30,000 of the vote credited to the De mocracy then was fraudulent. The compari son is still more effective and just when made witli the vote of 1873 Republicans, laii, 417 sol Democrat., 1371, 416,067 Republican excess, 31,2.14 That republican vote of 1873 is larger than the Democrats have ever cast in tins State, and 31,000 larger than they muster this year. It may be answered that it was not all Re publican, as some Democrats voted for Gen. Dix in 1873. So they did; hut quite as many republicans—we are inclined to think more voted for Tilden this year. The Democrats expressed their discontent in 1872, not so much by voting the republican ticket as by staying at home. But to put the case in the most unfavorable light for our own side, let us suppose that 20,000 Democrats voted for Dix in 1872, and only half ns many republi cans for Tilden in 1874; The case, then, would stand as follows Vote for Dix, 1872, 447,801 Less Demon a'.n, ‘JOOuo j Republicans, 427,801 Vote for Tilden, 1374, 416,3 o Less Republicans, 10,000 Democrats, 403,567 Republican preponderance, 21,831 We submit that this is a fair and candid pre sentation of the case—that it understates rather than overstates the strength of our side. What is the conclusion? That on a full and fair vote, New York is a republican State. The republicans who staid at home or who voted for Tilden have not ceased to bo republicans. In ’7G they will be with us again. Of course, with so large a vote and so comparatively small a majority either way, much always depend# upon the shape of the canvass; but making every allowance, this review is lull of encouragement lor rt publi cans.—Alban 1/ Journal.

As the yield of cranberries in this State has been large this season, they must be plentier than usual in the market. Cratfberries raised in Maine have a much finer flavor than the Cape Cod fruit, and all will say so on comparing the two. An old lady said she was so glad that Dr. Ayer was defeated. She feared that if he went to Washington she should never get any more of “that air Hair Vigger!” So the bald-headed peo ple are all glad the doctor is to remain at home about his business. In yesterday’s ^oticc of the new Railroad Brake we inadvertently omitted to state that it was man ufactured at the machine shop of Messrs. Webber, IIaiviand Philbrick at Waterville, and applied to the “Cushing” under the immediate superinten dence of Mr. Frank Philbrick and the patentee. A spirit of revival is being felt at Pettengill’s Corner in this city, under the labors of the Rev. C. E. Luce of this city. Notwithstanding the bard struggle Mr. Luce has had for the past few days, he is again in the field and will preach in the school house at Pettengill’s Corner to-morrow at the usual hour. The new Winthrop Royal Arch Chapter at Winthrop village, have recently bad an election of officers, and there will be public installation ser vices on Wednesday, Dec. 2d. The ceremonies of Installation will be conducted by M. L. P. H. P., Samuel W. Lane of this city. The ceremonies will be followed by a banquet. To those of our citizens who think that rum fi lers are getting off scott frte, we would say that there are now in the hands of the County Attor ney some 34 executions, amounting in the aggre gate to over nine thousand dollars against rumsel lers and their bail in this citv which lie will forth with proceed to collect.—[Ellsworth American. And that without the aid ofany State Police act. The law we have is abundant for all emergencies. The first asembly given by Richardson’s orches tra at Meonian Hall, Thursday evening, was a very successful and pleasant affair, about seventy live couples greeting the new orchestra, and ac cording it a just appreciation, and we sec no good reason why any local assembly or entertainment need seek for music from abroad, while such a band exists in our own midst. Look out for the tramping beggars that seem now to invest the State. A lady on Capitol street in thi| city, found one quietly seated in her parlor the other day, and as the lady was alone in the house, she was very much frighted, but managed to get rid of the fellow' without much trouble. Jle has called elsewhere, ostensibly for the purpose of bottoming chairs. There arc plenty already in this town who follow that occupation. Mr. J. L. Adams has found time between the "busy hours to make a very fine copy of a beauti ./ul landscape painting, which now adorns the Freemans National Bank. The subject was well chosen, and its graceful execution shows great talents and proficiency in the ait of painting, It must be a rare pleasure to turn from the prosy routine of the cashier’s counter to the easel and be able to produce a thing of beauty, which is a joy forever Mr.-J. Frank Pierce has at his store an enter taining book called “The Frozen Deep,’’ by Wil kie Collins, a Dramatic story in five scenes. It was originally written by the eminent author as a play, to be presented in a private circle. When it was first brought out Charles Dickens took the leading part and the cast embraced other eminent authors. The play afterwards bail a successful public run, and when Mr. Collins was in this coun try last year lie placed it, in a condensed form, among his public reading, and it was most enthu siastically received everywhere. He has now written out the story in a more elaborate form for the general reader, and sends it out to tbe public along with several of tbe great author's minor sketches. _ Who has not, in passing by Col. Thomas Lom bard’* elegant residence, corner of Wiuthrop and Scwall streets, admired the beautiful green lawn in front, laid out with each precision and kept with such care 1 How verdant it has been through all the dry season, having the appearance of a lawn in the most gushing season of the year. Hut we have at last found out the secret of that greenness. Col. Lambard sowed broadcast over his lot about three hundred pounds of iron filings or siftings, from his foundry, and this gave the grass roots new life and growth, ami has preserved the lot green a fid beautiful. These iron tilings applied to a lot in the cemetery has bad the same effect. These are facts that people ought to know, especially those who live where they can obtain these siftings. Sabbath Services. Rev. W. II. Uowen, D. D. of Lewiston, will oc cupy the pulpit of the Freo Baptist church in this city to-morrow, on exchange with the pastor, Rev. Mr. Penney. Rev. A. L.

A prominent Baptist clergymen in the central part of the State, has subscribed, we understand, #5000 to the fund which is being raised for the endowment of academics tributary to Golby Uni versity. Canon I’ullen, and those who believe with him, that Christianity is only a civilized heathenism, should take note of these rases where. Christian ministers unostentatiously givo away a quarter of their whole possessions.—[Portland Press. That is a fact which has been known in this sec tion for some time, by a small circle, who have kept it strictly private at the request of the person in question, but we think it would be cruel to bold on longer to a good “item.” The reverend gen tleman to whom the Press refers is no other than the Rev. Joseph Ricker, D. D., oT this city, for six years the beloved pastor of the First Baptist church here, who has made the handsome donation of Jii t thousand dollart to the Colby University en dowment fund. This comprises not a quarter only, hut at least a third of all his earthly resource!. Those who know the Doctor will say it is just liJcs him. lie is a practical believer of the doctrine which he has so often preached so ably, and to the great relief of the pocket books of his congrega tions throughout the State, that verily it is more blessed to give than to receive.” Cruelty to Animal*. It seems strange that in a civilized and Christian community like this, such gross barbarisms should be allowed to he perpetrated as are witnessed in our streets every day. We allude to the presence of old and lame horses—horses that have become entirely incapacitated from age, abuse or misfor tune, or all of these combined. Foor, weak, wasted, creatures, that can hardly stand, are eeen crawling about the streets, and picking up what- j ever stray btraws they are fortunate enough to find where other horses have been baited. These poor brutes are often dragged about and par-1 aded by their masters until a crowd of ninth rate bar-room horse jockies is collected, when, after they have been whipped, teased, and wor ried to make them show what little life theie is in them, they are put up at a sort of gutter auction and bid olF to the highest biddei—perhaps for a few glasses of rum, to be abused and neglected, and put up at auction and hid off again the next day. And this is not ail. Horses that are so lame that they can scarcely walk, are harnessed to heavy loads and made to struggle along with them often upon three feet, and if they halt or balk, are scourged most unmercifully with the lash* This ought not to be. .Such wrecks of horses would not be allowed long to exist within the city limits of Boston or New York. It would be a truly humane deed to put such suffering creatures out of their misery. Horses suffer enough when they receive the best protection possible. Summary of Religious lutelllgeuce. Rev.
