If I were in tbe dock and doomed to d:e on tbe scaffold, the terrors of tbe hour could ! not overcome tbis habit; for I should watch tbe judge's construction ot bis periods and pass literary sentence on bim while be was) passing judical sentence on me. Grant's talk is noteworthy for its clearness, its Saxoa simplicity, its terseness, its grasp of facts, and its strong massing of statements. He talks rapidly, never pausing .for a word, never uwing a word more tban ! is needed to make his meaning clear, never uttering a word that tells of a doubt in bis mind. No man I have ever met obeyed Goi-tbc's advice so faithfully "tell me what yon think; I bave doubts enough of my own." He never once said "perhaps," or ''possibly,'" or "it may be,'" although be spoke of South Carolina politics aud of the Snancial problem, that are thick with chances to use tbem. His verbal style bas one charm very rare now, and dai'y growing rarer among our public men, because, I fear, the mental soil that it springs from is less prized by the people. He always chose tbe shortest words. A child would not have been aide to grasp Lis argument, because it dealt with an abstract question; but it would bare known tbe meaning of every word he said For five min- utes once hm talk wu as rugged as. Carly le's in the form of his thought; but he was as clear and simple as . uiis ..urns, ii is ouiy luu sham great minds tbat wallow in 0 ig words. Tbe pages tbat thrill us in F.uglish oratory; the persons tbat bave soared highest in the pore air of song; tbe bymns that have stirred for ages tbe souls of tbe pure in heart; the prayers, the blessings, and the curses, thai bave moulded the lite of a hundred generations each of tbem aod all of tbem are clothed in tbe words that tbe children prattle in ibeir play grounds. Lincoln' Get ivsburgb speech, I'ur.ler's farewell address to tbe army of the James, Gruut'se very-day tula are specimens of the purest Sax-m that America has given to tbe literature of ihe eenturv. There are pages of Grant's War lie ports that will be quoted so ae dav as models of official rbeti c. Tbey bave all the great qualitie .bat such writing should embody: clearness, brevity, modesty and. above all, ibey have the rare mrii of flopping wben the story is told.

THE LIFE IXSI UANCE PROBLEM. The failure of three or four Life Insurance Companies, which will be r .n .n.A :.. - i... . l I or four more, inakes a rifciibui riiiiitu , ... 7 " iu uuauciai circles, i nese events are of more importance than appears upou tbe surface. Tbe companies leather money from all parts of the country, and bold it here in New York for investment. It is loaned oa real estate, aud is presumed to Le so saMy invested tbat nolbiug can effect it. Tbe Life Insurauce Compauies with their millions upon millions I withdrawn from the circulation ot the country, represent an imporiant fac tor in the financial interests of tbe country. They are tbe depositors of! i the people's money, to a greater ex-, tent tban are tbe saviugs banks, and tbeir relation to tbe people is one of confidence purely. For tbe man of the country kuews very little of tbe people in whose bauds be entrusts I bis earuiues, aud he has to take it ou faith. Now, wben one of these companies breaks, and it is shown ibat for years tbere bas been sys tematic stealing; tbat tbe statements have beuu conked; that assets that nev er existed have been put in; tbat lia bilities Ibal did exist bave been left nut, and tbat ibe whole fraud has been sworn to, aud that tbe (.Seers created by the state ore not shrewd euoUatb 'o delect the swindle, it is cat ulated to uproot things in a rath er uncomfortable manner.

A CASE t'F SERIOl'S TROUBLE. A very curious incident occured, to a younir lady who possesses more beauty and brains tban money. Tbe voun fellow is a fool, as is tbe case with tbe mst of tbe young fellows who bave money iu the city, but tbe girl accepted bim, all tbe same, he cause be was reputed to bave an in come of $35 000 per annum. It was rather a comfortable thing to bave a rich fool for a husband, for while he could pay tbe bills, aud keep her in diamonds and all sorts of things pleasant to the feminine mind, he would not beiu ihe av ol berenjoy- 'ghers - lf as sh?cboose.

For gome reason or other tbe Sen ate appears to bare gotten far ahead of the House in the work of tbe ses sion, perhaps because tbe former is a smaller and more compact body, easier to handle aod quicker to ar rive "at a decision than the dnwe idy and generally less experienced House However tbe latter is making an ef fort to catca upaod succeeded in p"8 ing the first bill of the preseut sessiou ou Tuesday last, ll was a compara tively unimportant bill, authorizing clerks if courts of quarter senaioua and oyer aud terminer to take recog nizance and bail in certain cases but j it shows that ibey have got down to work in earnest. un aua auer Thursday of next week there will be two daily cessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays the morning session from 10 to 1 o'clock aud tbe afteruoou session from 3 to b o'clock. A resolution bas been adopted by ibe House aud sent to tbe Seuate for concurrence, providing for a final adjournment on Marco 15: b, to meet iu aiij urued aunual sessi..u oa tbe flint Tuesday of Jauuarj, IS.". Tbere seems to be a deler uiiuatiou on all rides to have tbe wink ot the Session finished by the liiue fixed for alj 'Uruuieut. A bill of great i merest aud impor tance lo business meu throughout the Staio aud at tbe commercial centres or tbo country passed second readiug iu the House ou Wednesday last, li provides tbat upo all judgments now reuiaiuiug unsatisfied, or which may be obtained witbiu six mouths of the passage of tbe act, or upon which a rale of re:il estate bas not yet been confirmed there shall be a stay of execution for two years from the pas sage of tbe act as regards judgments cow existing, and from tbeir date a.s regards judgments obtained six months after tbe dale of tbe act, provided tbat the defendant is pos sessed of real estate in the county where tbe judgment is obtained or in any couuty of tbe State to wbicb the judgment id transferred, worth at a fair valuation a sum sufficient to pay ti)3 same; or the defendant may give fceeurity for the payment of the same which must be appioved by the court or justice before whom it was obtained within sixty days from the date of the jud ifmect or the passage ! of tbe act. Tbe provisions of the bill are very sweeping and extend to ! judgmeuts entered or to be entered as well upon bond or warrant of at torney as upon mortgage to secure tbe same, and to any subsequent owner of tbe premises as weal as to the original mortgage. It gives any mortgager or lien creditor, whose interest would be af fee'ed by tbe sale, a like rigbt, with tbe defendant to claim stay and makes invalid any waiver of slay j matte alter tbe passage ot tbe act It applies to all judgments entered or to be entered upon conditional ver dicts, stipulations or warrants of at torney in actious of ejectment. It makes auy person, firm, banker or broker, who holds collaterals for debts, due or to become due, respon sible for double the amount for wbicb tbey were pledged it tbey bell tbe same at public or private sale within two years of the passage of tbe act. It does oot apply to any execution for collection of six months entered on any judgment not less than $500, or for interest on judgments entered for security fur the payment of -mon ey to willows or orphan or minors, or judgments for the Wages of labor. Though ibis bill has not passed Easi ly, as erroneously stated by some pa pers, tbe large vote, 1 03 to 67, by w hicb it passed second reading, iudi cates t bast it will pass finally unless i here sbuld be a sudden aud great change .f opinion as to the merits of the bill. Tbe debate upon it was spirited and probably all tbat could be said for or against tbe measure was brought cut aud thoroughly dis cussed. Yesterday in the house, after a long debate, a bill ceding certain lauds on the Ohio river to the United States for the puritose ot erecting dams, locks &c, to establish slack water navigation was defeated. Pe titions for the re-enactment of tbe Local Option law continue to pour in rapidly. Some ot tbem are of im inense length. Members of tbe Leg islature are beginning to Ieel uueasv up n tbe local option question and express much anxiety as to its effect upon politics. B. STATE CAPITAL. Proceedings of the Legislature.
