Tn advine?. of the eoimtrnrtinn of politi-Bl
slates fur the campaign in this State, mir
Albany letter ?vives some data as lo tlie aspi
ntkn_| of the present occupants of office.
Secretary Willeri and Controller Hopkins are
tired uf the anxtr-tice uf their poota, and d?>
nut wish r-numinntion. The S'tte Treasurer,
Engineer, and Attorney-General are bettered
to be at th?> disposai of their friends.
Thor?'? s?-t "us to he dangar that tlie T'nite.l
st ?n s will lie thinly repreaented at the Cen
teiniial Exhibition. Nut une half the npplica
tions tot spore hare y?*t been tunde that will
lu* required to till iii? aMgued limits. Bereral
uf tin* states arc scarcely represented at all.
Upon the abandonee and variety of this __?
piny ?!i lund alike the 1006001 ?of tins exhihi
tiui', a.?ii ilie proopect tot some yean to cosne
of an increased trade in unr products, art*?,
and manufactures.
Rarely is a political pri?_!ninnie so unexcep?
tionable m thal which the telegraph reports
fruin the Republican state Central Conraitt-ee
of Louisiana, .'lu* party is t.? be reorgnnuedi
which in th.tt State means a great ??tal If it
means anything. An early resnniption oi
Specie payments, reduced taxation, free
Behool-! oppoaition to monopoHes, ptuiiahmeiil
for crime in office and tot ?Moults on pereonal
? rights, are to be tin* features ot the proposed
regeneration. Evidently t!i<* Repnblicons of
Louisinna have learned something since last
year.
In th?? sonic what noted pam of James A.
j Duffy, tie* Msailant of Deputy Controller
I Ernie, n d'-cisiun of Judge Daniels ?hecks the
attempt t?> use the writ of habeas eorpus for
the diBchftrge of <i eonricted ?prisoner. The
eise of Wn. M. Tweed is ched as a prece
il.nt for Duffy's relief, hut Judge I>ani?ls
thinks that abat mu*, be accepted us the la'.'.'
in the -'".ted suit?, should lie confined to them.
Its extensioa to other criminals would resull
in ?i general jail delivery. So far as the Tweed
i fi.se i? e..;ic<Tn.-d, the Opiuion of .lud.-'e Daniels
1 is quiti in accordance with thal ni the public.
It will be observed thal the mansgers of the
Union Square Theater have ohtai ?ed m In
.junction restraining the manager of the Fifth
Avenue Theater from producing the drama <>f
"Boee Michel." The Bffldavil of Ernest Blnm,
the Kreuch author, sets forth thal the man*
ngers nf the Union ?Bquare Theater hive
bought certain property rights ol him, and
that tin manager of the Fifth Avenne Theater
lias nu right OT title tu the pla*?. The views
tve hore expressed on this Bnbj<*ct arc justified
'?y the fact* ?is now officially raadi known,
and by the action of the Court. The rosewill
??'une up for a hearing on the 6tk of ?Septem?
ber.
The grand "Greenback Convention" a'
Detroil ha? turned ont a wretched lade. It
consisted of une uf Mr. Kelley's speeches end
ii long lettei from Mr. Henry ?'. Carey, both
o!' which are common things nowodnj -. thongfa
oontoining nothing cmnprehensible but the cry
?? Dam ! Bogs I !" Bul the " rade mail" is satis?
fied, so Goethe says, if only he -??-es ?something
going on ?A a show. Mr. Carey's letter was
not dramatic, bal Mr. Kelley is getting to be
s veritable ?lack in the box. At Ural mily ..<?<>
?)?.(?? tutor.? were ?present?! hut 500 more after?
ward caine in to see, the skinning of the
"Golden Calf." The resolntionfl rio curiou.
though nut new.
There will ho a general feeling ol' satisfae
tion at the decision ol the Kings toutitr Char?
ity Comniii-Uoners to discharge the nursM at
the Lunatic Asylum who maltreated Mr. Ma?
ree, nnd ?adopt measures to prevent such ?>ui
lagea hereafter, 'l he only thing to be _t-*gi*et
ted is that the wretches who tie np patients in
atrait-Jackets and heat and braise thom,
cannot tbemaelves he subjected to similar
?treatment for a short time. Even then there
would be no parallel in their suffering-, fur
Mr. Mai. c's form of insanity?not an uncom?
mon une among Asylum patienta?involved s
bodily -?ni mental anguish whk.i sane people
ena scarcely realise.
Another ?letter from our Ohio correspondent
?hows more definitely than before, the impor?
tance ol the publto school question in the polit?
ical campaign in that state. 'Ihe feeling on
iltis subject lies beneath the surface, and is not
readily estimated hy pol?tica] mauagera. The
belief si ems to he widdy pr?valent that iln*
Democrats, if in power, will be likely to yield
to ? preosure directed against non-aectarian
?schools, nnd their record in the last Legisht
ture is regarded as furnishing reason foi such
distrust. Whatever may be the extent of ; i
feeling it is not likely to Ik* made folly ma ii?
feat except ?it the ballot-box, where it may
possibly overton tho calculations which ha.
ignored it.
The contest between rival schemes before
the Co-imis-kniera of Rapid Transit ?seems to
! turn mure upun questions of route tlittu oi
I plan. It has been long evident tlnit do scheme
can be adopted which would please everybody.
! Especially art* tlie residents on any route ?.
i lectcd sure to feel aggrieved. But as tin? wel?
fare of n much ?greater hotly of dtisens is
I at stake, the main question at issue should
be what rood W?l beet meet the wallis of
I those who will ride upon it, ami accommodate
j must completely the greatest number. Of
, course the Con___-Bionors must ?listen to re
! monatrants, bait before giving head to every
i (iipjectiun they might do well to recall the
I story of the father and ?on who finished by
1 carrying the jackass to town on their shoul*
j dors. _
THE CASAL WAR.
The southern tier <>f comities seem to he
thoroughly awake to the importance of the
: pending struggle between the Governor ?and
the canal thieves, and the resolution? already
, adopted at at number uf the district conven
? iions have no doubt of tin* direction whiih the
! sympathies of the people have token. Every
i ?lay makes the position of the reform party
mon* formidable. The Hint.' has never even
mad?* a respectable demonstration against it.
Stunned and demoralised by the first dis
eloanrea, the swindling contractors and th? ir
i political creatures ami Supporten have ap
' porently compiehended, better than the Re?
publican newspapen which are ue.ifcly trjing \
to serve them, how deeperate tboir cum? really \
I is. They know, if a portion of the Administra
j lion i?re.?s does not, that not half Hie ti ltd
lins yet been brought to light, and they can
set what the inveotigations now in progress
will had tu. Tin* Legislative Inquiry haafully
(???iiiiiiii? ti some of the roost remarkable ot the
?torios already told iii Til*-: Ti. i m ni. of tin?
Operations ol the ?.'tent finn of Denison, Beiden
?. Co., wIliI?' Um (.overa ?t'a C-nimindfjii of '
Inquiry sends forth report after report, ?li
filled with disehiHiircsof fraud and oftlcial neg?
ligence, at which tin? whole .State may will
stund aghast. IVoplc are almost tempted to
lah after all this if any work nu the canal lias
ever boon dona .ucording to contract, Of ?my
(.in.ti officer has ever Wen both competent and
honest.
Yesterday or published ? curious nan of
testimony nnd report fruin each of the two
investigating hollies. The L?gislative Com?
mittee gave us an ?ifli? ial narrative ol' the
notorious CHUKO Laka swindle, which
has boen pretty fully deecribed l?ef?ir<*.
The Governor*- ( .'onimi--toii devoted it*?
fourth report to a contract which differs
ni many interesting particulars fruin
thoac previonsly examined. The usual practice
has been to cheat the Btate bj nnbalaneed
estimates and fraiiduletit meaonrements ; hut
when Assemblyman Willard Johnson took his
contract for the We?! Trnv loci., he combined
an extraordinary variety of illegal and dis?
honest devices, including double payments,
double measurements, bohl and even de?
tiatit departure bum the contract pines, nnd
th-* construction of a ?real ?ha! of work not
specified in lili* contract at all. Having been
authorized for instance to build a luck, he
1 went on without any warrant of law t<> put np
! an iron bridge, consttmt a waste weir, and
inclose and ?pave mi una of 0,000 square
? yards of ground, omi Upon this "extra work,"
1 as then* was no allusion I'? it in the contract,
be put the most preposter?os prices. Having
agreed to build 50 c tbic yards of vertical wall
ni ?-'<; a yan!, he put up 1,320 cubic yalda ol'

AS EXPEBIMEXT IS UFE INSURANCE.
The cost of obtaining customers in starHng
a new mercantile enlei prise is always a Beriooa \
cunsideiatinn. The vnunir concern niav have
money, facilities, and ability sufficient in all
respects fur conducting the Misluesa proposed;
hut wilhoiil i ?i?lon,?'is ii ia Id?' a lo? ??motive,
properly constructed, with steom up, but no
?tracks to run upon. In older countries tbe
"good will" or the establishment of channels ;
? of traite, possessed in families for half a cen
! tiny ur more, becomes the moat valuable part
of the business. The rapid change*of fortune
in the United stiies modify this condition ?if
things here, and render if? more practicable for
? beginnen t<? make a new start In life, compet?
ing with those who bave already a lived name ,
I and position. But to accomplish success, it i?, '
absolutely necessary for the new conceru t<>
give whle publicity to it-? nndertaking.
We an? reminded of th. -<? somewhat obvious '
j facts by the programme oi a recently started
life Inattrance company which propo? to dts
pense .vii h i li?- costly services of canvassing
agenta. This ?rill be ? novelty on our -id? of
the Atlantic, where one nf the gravest occa?
sions ul solicitude has been the extravagant
commissions paid hv young companies to Huir
canvassers. Hand in hand with thi* abuie
then- ha* been usually a emile??, ?selection of
iii?iir?-d lires. These causes, rathei than loose
investment of funds, have brought down Into
iii?' dual of amalgamation <?r bankruptcy a r
ernl of the minor concerns. The -ucee?? ?d
certain English companies thal have never em?
ployed canvassers, gives bone ii? the new
I enterprise bare, Bul it must bo admitted
j that the conditions abroad are very different.
! Much of the life iuaurenee of Great Britain
Hows from the dispoiial ni' inherited property,
j and in miking marriage ?till?mellis ?i life
j policy is ?i frequent element. The application
in these ??i?es comea to the companies from
the legal adviser? ni tin? family. It ma\ heit
be mentioned, however, thai in the exposure
of the affairs of houkrupl English conipauics,
ii has been shown that heavy commissions on
policies were paid to this class ?o' lawyers. As
to the large proportion oi British companies
' that ilu employ canvassers, ii cannot be add .
?that they sei ?i*.i example of economj in man- -
agement to our older com.mi.it?, in whom
practice commissions to agenta are reduced to
a minimum.
There is another fea-ture m the programme
of ih?* new company, to niiich the public may
be expected to pay some attention. What la
??illili a "savings-bank account"' is t<? be
opened with each policy, and what tin* com?
pany can by calcubttion afford t<> pay hack on
ih? surrender of the ?policy is !?? be condo
li.uily placed to the credit of this account.
This is tn enable the Insured either t?> apply
tin accumulation t<> the renewal of a policy,
or to surrender the policy ?is. li ?it anytime
i fur ?i cash value. It is believed that this 9JB
, tem will prove an offtel to th<* det*p dissatis
faction which now prevails among the people
who have taken Insurance in years gone
by, and now either cease to need it Of ',
me scarcely able to pay for it. Tiny'
generally consider what the companies offei :
th?m for a surrender too ?mall a proportion
of the value of their policiea. The leading i
obiectiou ?hut companies raise to the often- |
urged project of naming a surrender value
fruin the start of n policy through its whole
existence, is thal it WOU-d oller an inducement i
to the insured to relinquish the polk) : that
this would be mora of ?a temptation to the
sound ami bealtby than to th?< feeble and dis
eased, and thus eventuaUy most of the good
' riaki would be withdrawn from the hooks,
while ?ill the Inferior ones would t.ain.
Here then is ?i qucotion which cannot be solved
by mathematics in advance ??1 expi riment, A
! wide-spread interest nwj perhaps be taken in
an endeavca t?> put lapsed and wrreudered
policies on nu equitable and satiafactory bards,
since many peuple believe that in these ?nut?
ters tiny have not met luir dealing.
Ii is beyond our province to foii'iitsl the '
fatura of the now undertaking; whatever the
result,it Mill not affect the principles involved !
in the proposed plan. Their merita or demerits
will become inore than ever the ?objects <?!
divided opinion. At lc.i-ii the compon) may
?'?ti clear of the two quicksands of extra va
gauce in agents' commbadona nnd dissatisfae
lion among ; tolley -h?hten. If _ marked sne_
i ceas i*? attained, it will hasten the day of
i Improvement ?u life insurance in respect to
cheaper and better ways of conducting the
I business, If failure ensues it will long post
i pone an experiment which perhaps som.* ol the
older, stronger companies might h .ve af
tenipted to greater ?advantage.
