THE TURKS' VICTIMS. APPEAL ON BXHALF OP T11K EXILED CHEIS TIAN8 OF THE BALKAN PUOVINCKB. Yentnor, England, Nov. 29, 1870. To the Editor op the Herald:? Will you give me space in your columns to make an appeal to tbe American people on behalf of the people ot the Western Balkan provinces exiled by tbe meas ures luken by tbe Turks for tbe repression of tbe in surrection? 1 bavo been in tbat section since Sep tember 1, 187&, and am, therefore, competent to speak ol that portion of tbo refugees 1or whom 1 plead?those who have taken refuge in Croatia, Daiinatla and in Mcnteuegro. Of theao there are in Croatia alone, according to Miss Irby, an English lady who has been working among the refugees more than a year, 72,000; along the Dalmatian iruntler, north or the Narenta, probably about 10,000; in the district of Kagusa alone 16,000, and in Catlaro proba ably 2,000 or 3,000 more. Those in the district north of the Narenta we know so little about tbat only an approximation Is possible. They have no committees to care for or register them. But in Montenegro alone, whoso poor and valorous population is nearer kindred by race and roliglon to the hnntedChristlans of Herze govina, and to whose mountains they lied, when It was possible, In preierence to Daiinatla, there are 76,900 souls thrown on the charily of a population which Is the smallest and poorest ol all tne independent Chris tian States, being only 120,000, the total revenue oi the country being abont $260,000 and tbe total In comes of the whole people probably not rnucn above $1,000,000. 1 do not allude in any way to the refugees In Servia, or the mlsorable living victims of Bulgaria, bocause I do not know anything personally ot them; but their number la nothing like so largo as those on this side Ihe Balkan Peninsula, and they are already looked after ?y poworful English committees, under the direction >1 Lady Stronglord and others. Of those of whom 1 mow 1 can say, unhesitatingly, no destitution can bo (reatcr than theirs Most ot them have now beon in. ixilo for moro than a year, and are entirely dependent in charily?living in tents, in hovels, stablei, barracks tastily put up by the committees, Ac. 1 have soen as nany as thirty souls, young and old, huddled in tbo liable ol a kindly peasant, where the pigs and sheep and cattle were mixed up with children auu sick. Thou sands died lost winter Irom Hunger and cold. On one Sari of tbo frontier the Austrian guard told me, in [arch last, that all the children under three years bad died already. One unfortunate band ot relugees brought in tnelr arms tH'iy-fonr dead bodies ot their children wtio had dtod In their flight, to give them burial in a Christian land. Even all summer long they were dying in numbors of "starvation typhus. " Lust winter the Austrian government allowed tbem In some districts about four cents each, but in tbe sum mer tnis was withdrawn, and the winter new setting in dads them without resources, except the Utile aid Liu local authorities and private charity gives them. We may succeed lu so calling attention to their condi tion that the Austrian government must do something ugain for those on Its hands, but what 11 does will bo barely to prevent starvation, and the question ol their clothing In the cold, bleak hills of Dalmalia is almost as important as food, and for this the governmoni baa uot done and will Dot do anything. lu Moutcnegro the moans of tho government are tlready exhausted. Tbe bread supply ol tbo country s never enough for Its own population. The crops >t this summer are nearly exhausted already, and the ;ailant little people which for 400 years bus been at tlmost continual war wltb tbo Turk oitber to preserve is own frcodom or to aid Its kindred Herzegovina, is now menaced with starvation from too great hospt tiility. In the district of Ragusa one of the first cares of tbo committee was to orgauize schools lor tbe children of the refugees, none of whom could read, and by the help ol tbo priests they established seven schools, which have provided over 600 chlldron with tho rudi ments o( a substantial education, with some clothing and a small pecuniary contribution to their living at an expense ol about $140 pur month, everything in-, eluded. This has now to be given up, the need for bread absorbing all the meaus ot the committee, and being miserably Inadequate oven for this tn the limited district in which It works. As things now stand at lsast 100,000 of these refugees must die of sold or starvation n we oannot get moro aid lor them, i calculate the cost of carrying them through the win ter at about $6 each. 1 want to ask a practical and tlmplo question. How many people are there lu the United Mates who are willing to charge themselves with one soul at that cost? 1 should like to see soino of the geuerous deeds of our past outdono?ships loaded with broad, with grain, wheat or maize, coming In an Imperial way to bring tho aid of the groat Repub lic to thuso martyrs to tbe cause of lreedom, to tbe race which has endured centuries of slavery rather than abandon its faith?a great, a splendid race, one of those which will one of these dayB divide with our own the sovereignty of the world, but which has now hardly got its head above tbo waters of oppression, and whoso very name Is a synonym of servitude. I should like to ace ono of our biggest ships come to Catlaro bringing its fullest cargo ol bread to the noble l'rlnce of Montenegro?that oasis of liberty in the desert wnleh Turkish oppression has made and Europeau imperial jealousies maintained?to enable him to teed hta people and their guests for another winter. I should like to aoe bankcra' drafts lor aomo hundred thou sand dollars come to relieve tho im mediate strain of this Immense misery and show that the American people is as roady to aid the poor and oppressed In' this hemisphere as In Its own. Will the American people do a splendid thiug lor the starving Christians ot Horzegovlna and do it in the quick and splendid way it can do such things? WHERE fiCllSCRIPTIOXS MAT 1)> SENT. Money by post olQce order or London bunkers' draft may be sent to me, Vontuor, Isle ol Wight, England, or by drall on Loudon or Trieste to His Gruco Hilarlon Rogonovlch, Bishop of Montenegro, Cettinge; or Baron Ghetald!

THE POLICY-HOLDEB8 OF THE CONTINENTAL STILL WAITING FOB A STATEMENT?HOW THEY ABE SOLICITED BY THE NEW JE11SEY MUTUAL. Indications strongly suggest a lively struggle for ttie rights of the policy-holders ol the Continental Life In surance Company. The evidences of gross mismanage ment by the officers ol that concern have aroused the Indignation of the public, and will bo likely to result in an exceedingly close scrutinising ol Us slfalrs. Al ready a meeting haa been bald In Philadelphia, where some 1,37.1 policies of that company are held, and a committee baa been appointed to leok out lor the in terests of the assured. The Insurance Superintendent, Mr. William Smyth, Is tully alive to tbo importance ol the matter, and will rigorously perform bis duties tnerein. Policy-holders of the Continental have waited pa tiently long enough for some Intimation from the receiver concerning the vsluo or the contracts which they possess. Mr. Anderson has been Ove weeks in office, and not one ray of inlormalion has in that time been afforded. The necessity for some explanation of the Continental affairs has previously been made ap parent through these columns. It is Just to suppose that Mr. Anderson knows something of the real condi tion ol tho concern, and it seems equally Just to pro sume that the Court which appointed aud gave him Instructions could have no objection to his furnishing tbo anxious policy-holders with such facts about the situation as are already established. They are atked by another company to make a transfer of their old policies and accept new ones In its stead. Upon what basis can this be done, except that ol blind specula tion? The policy-holder aoes not know the value of that which he assigns, and tho New Jersey Mutual, according to the statement of its President, is simi larly ignorant ol the value they accept. The latter are, of course, in the bettor Informed condition, and it is not likely they will enter inte anything unprofitable to themselves. Mr. Anderson by his rotlcence indi rectly aids In 8upportiug this unequal position. His sxcuss is that the instructions of the Court do not allow him te make any approximate declaration. He says that the long pfocoss, by which aknowledgo ot the precise condition ol things will be determined, must be gone through with before any information whatever can be given out. Mr. Chandler, the Actuary of tho company, further Informed tho writer that be cannot hope to complete bis labors until after sixty days at least. He says that a specific calculation has to be made upon each of 20,000 policies; that clerical help has boon reduced, and he has now otght assistants, and that sgents have shown a provoking Indifference to tho rccoivor'a requests for a final statement of their accounts. Policy-hoidors may thua see that their patience Is to be tried much longer, according to the present pro gramme. RBUPOX8K TO POLICY-IIOLI)KliS. A number of communications have reached tho Hsuald from different parts ol the country, asking advice in regard to the Continental contracts hold by the writers. Theso contracts are of ail descriptions and all stages of fulfilment. By way of general roply, It may be stated tbat any company which asks the assignment ol theso contracts will not be likely to afford the hold ers much the best of the bargain. Those policies that have any reserve, or any return to the ownors due upon lliem. mu>t have somo value; aud from what has been shown and stated by the recotver it would appeui advisable to hold on to ibem tor such payment. The policy-holder can tako out a new in Buruuco and let the olhor remain uuassignod, or ho can, it necessary, do without insurance lor tho tlmo that may Issue previous to the Continental settle ment. As the matter stands it is a speculative busi ness anyhow, and on this basis tho policy-holder is at a disadvantage in dealing with his agent. Several in quiries have ucen made upon thosubjoctol "lapsing," and in this regard it should be understood that no policy which was paid lor up to October 26 can lapse or go out of existence. A little examinatiou into the statomonts made upon the first ol the year by both tbo Continental and the New Jersey Mutual Clio will shortly be publlsbod In these columns, and policy-holders may be able thore Irom to form somo opinion as to tho extent of the in solvency ol ono and the solvency of tbo other. Here is one of tho communications received:? "Tkoy, N. V., Doc. 7, 1876. "To Tub Editor of thi Ribald:? "The commendable manner In which you have fol lowed up tho exposition ot the Continental Lite In surance fraud is deserving el the gratitude of all the victims of tneir contemptible trickery. And 1 doubt not the whole pubho feet under inanv obligations to you for the light thrown upon the subject of llfo in surance. Cau you tell me if thore wore auy proceed ings instituted agalust tho Continental prior to October 12, or had they auy right to receive my premium due on that date ? Mine is an endowment policy. Any information yon cau give on this point will be grate lully received by yours, rospectlally, ??J. K. P. PINE." In rcsponso to tho inquiry eontninod in the above it may be well to state that tho suspension of tho Conti nental was aunouueed upon October 25, and any col lections made alter that date wore unlawful. HOW IT IS DONE. 1UU tuiiuwiuti circular mummies UIO memou pursued by former agents ot the Continental to induce their policy-holders to transfer their contracts to the New Jersey Mutual Lifo:? "Kochkstxk. Doc. 1, 1876. "Dear Sir?You have probubly learned that a re ceiver has been uppointcd tor the Continental Lifo in surance Company of New York. I liuve been with the company since tin organization, anil always believed it souud in every respect, and the appointment of a receiver has been a grout surprise to us alL The question at once arose, 'What will become of our policy-holders?' Our goueral agents at ouco met and held u consultation in New York, to ascertain vrnut arrangements could bo made with somo good solvent company to protect our policy-holders from loss, and last week arrange ments were completed with the New Jersey Mutual Lite Insurance Company for tbut purpose, so there will he no loss to thoso tnat transfer thoir policies to tbem. It may bo that agents ot rival companies will try to mlslend you; but ullow me to assure you that it wtli be lor your interest to send mo at ouco, 'or to any ol my agents,' your policy with last paid receipt for transfer. 1 will be pleased to furmsb you with any Information you may desire. KeBpcciiully yours, "W. H. MONTGOMERY, Nu. 13 Powers' Block." The ubove is printed upon the regular letlor beads ol the Continental, having the names ol that com pany 's officers at the top and Abe following:?"Conti nental Lite InsuranceCompany of New York. Roches ter Branch?W. H. Montgomery, manuger." That agent was odo ol the flrst to form a connection with the Now Jersey Mutual alter the Continental falluro, uud no longer can bo said to represent tho latter, un what grounds theu can he continue to use Continental blanks!1 It is plainly an effort to mislead policy holders with tho impression that the transfer Is mudo by the sanction ot both companies. Tho languago used in tho circular is evidently Intended to couvey the same idea. Yet the President of the New Jersey Mutnal says In his statement concerning the transfer ol policies:? "So coercion is used; uo misrepresentation is author ized; no deception is pructiscd." It should be remem berod that policy-holders are not coerced with "shot guns;" hut in their dependence upon their agents are easily managed with a little sharp practice like the above. A UKEZZK FROM NEWARK. The New Jersey Mutual Idle Insurance Company has Its ncad otneo in Nowark. it would appear from tho following that its operations do not meet with entire ap proval, even upon ??its natlvo heath. " Tho Newark Daily Courier, alter reviewing critically the recent statement of President Siedwell, and the relations of the New Jersey Mutual to the Continental, thus con cludes:? "We have sr.arco patience tr pursue this company further. As lar as all outward appearance is con cerned, taking tho la?t state.nculs as a basis, we sec little difference in theso two companies. It looks as If they were u scheming set of men whose business is that of life insurance wreekine. Wo are sorry tho city of Newark Is ihe held of their operations. We are glad, however, that they are not of us?that their management Is not by our own citizeus. Us presi dent comes every day from New York, and its directors are from New York, Marion, Patursou, Tren ton and other places. The company is only u squatter lu re. We don't own tliem, aud wo give lliem lair no tice that their plans and their schemes shall ho ex posed. Wc trust also that tbey may receive sucli utteniion from the Secretary of State and tbe forth coining Legislature as will teach them that, while liiey w ill lio allowed to do a legitimate lile in-urnnco busi ness here, life insurance wrecking must Ins slopped. New Jursoy lias never been a field lor wildcat*. Thanks to our efficient Slate management insurance frauds have been kept out of the citato. Wo do not want tbem and we don't moau to have them. In this answer to the card of tho New York President of the New Jersey Life wo nave not gone ns fully into detail as we intend to do in iutnre. That wouderlul arrange ment ot blending the Hope Lite with the New Jersey must and shall he placed side by side with tho blending of tbe remains of the two with the Continental. " ST.
