"LETTER FROM BANKERS"
Wtia are Insured In the Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company, Show
Ing how the Promises of the Connecti
cut Mutual Life Insurance Compaujr
are Performed.
"Troy, October 20, 180(5. Mpssm. Pock ft Hill
man, General Ageius of Connecticut Mutual
Lite Insurance Company Gentlemen: Tne un
dersigned, policy holders In tbe Connecticut
Mutual Life Insurance Company, feel that It is
too late In the day for this Company to need
any r?commendation from u. Yet, lu view of
the fact tbat rival companies are jealous of her
unparalleled succtes, and are making an effort
to disparage her, we take great pleasure In Bay
ing that the ConnMicut Mutual lias done better
by us tban was promised.
"Your representations to us have been more
than realized. Tbe nou-l'orfcitable feature
adopted by your Company the great economy
and prudence in tn- mnnacemcnt of its busi
nes the large dividends annually paid to us,
and especially tho 0 per cent, dividend paid
thin year also the change made by which, iu

These gentlemen commend "The Connecticut
Mutual" in much stronger language I think
than the facta justify. They may understand
hanking operations, but it U extremely doubtful
whether they know enough ol the principles or
science ot lile insurance, or of the management
ot that Company, to warrant tbem in expressing
their opinions with fo much confidence.
If it was their object ty enlighten trie public
upon the subject, it was a very laudable one;
but they should have furnished such facts and
figures as would have prevented any mistake or
misapprehension In a mat'.er of so much impor
tance. They kuow that the dividend are paya
ble lour years from date or policy, that is, when
tbe hfth premium is due, and if any ot them
have been insured ten or mare years, and pay
ODe-half cash and tbe olhpr half with a note
beariug 6 per cent, interest, they know that the
dividends were 40 per cent, in 1857, 185H, 185l,
and 18i0, and that the notes then given were
as-essed 20 per cent, in lBGO, 1801, 1802, and
1803, to make up tbe dear ieney.
Tbe 6i per cent, dividend, of which we hear so
much, applies only to pelicies which were issued
in 1862, and nottothoo of "this year," as oue
would be led to suppose by reading this corres
pondence. Four years interest is chnnreable asrainst their
dividends, and that would reduce tbe b'U per cent,
dividend to about 45 per cent.
Perhaps some ot these gentlemen may have
been insured ten or fifteen years; if so, it is
quite time tbey knew that "uniform percentage
dividends" are veiy unjust to old members.
I call their attention to the following extracts
taken from the bound official reports, of the
Hon. Elizur Wright, Insurance Commissioner
of Massachusetts; 1859 to 1805, pages 301-302.
He says: "Since a Mutual Company is as
solemnly bound to maintain equity as solvency,
it appears to us that there can be no possible
justification lor ft uoU'orni percentage ot divi
dends;" and "other iusuperaole objections to a
uniform percentile1, have been dwelt on in.
former reports." "They amount to this, that
money which belongs to old members is put
into the pockets of new comers;" aud he de
clares that "this process of sacridcine the in
terest of old members to nw-oues, we think
would be set aside by miy Court of Equity:,
and the question wou'd soon get there if the
older membeis came to understand their in
terest." No ope acquainted with tbe qualifications of
Professor Wiiuht will doubt bis ability to de
termine this or auy other question of Lite In
surance scientifically.
As a policy is not an exchangeable article, It Is
very convenient for these policy-holders to say,
"We would not change our insurance in this tor
one in any other company;" but I gues.s if they
knew the results of insurances in somo other
eompanies, they would not make such an asser
tion; if they dia, they would be considered very
incompetent bankers, and incapable of under
standing "exchange."
The "contribution plan" Is the only one
wherebv tae "divisible turplus" can be adjusted
I equitably, by
A MurcAL Life Insurance Company.

Fire. About 10 o'clock last evening, a
gentleman discovered a laree light in the gro
cery store at the corner of Broadway and Divi
sion streets, occupied by Eli Tellis. He imme
diately procured, as he supposed, a bucket of
water, and attempted to dan utile coi. tents upon

Had it not been for this they would have been
subdued ns it wna, they soon gained rapid
headway. The stewmers were soon upon the
spot, and flooded flit! building with water, Mr.

IIionwAY Robbery Tiie Gakbote
Again in Operation. Last night a couple of
teliows, named Joseph Kocey and Michael
McCarty, went into a tavern near Broad aa I
Prime streets, aud sat down to play cards.
They played for some time, and wheu a man
who bud been playltur got up und left, tbey also
arwso and followed him out. They follower
him until he entered a small alley that enters
into Pioad street from Curmea street, when
they made a rush, and whilst one of them gar
rotcd him, the other robbi him. In his
struggles to get loose he got sufliciently tree to
give an alarm, which Wi.s heard by Otlicers
Joseph McKinney and Corkrey, who rushed up
to his assistance, and after a short struggle suc
ceeded in putting both ol the garroters hors de
conlat.
They were escorted to Alderman Lutz's office,
where the case was investigated. The proprie
tor and bartender of the drinking suloon near
Broad and Prime streets, came forward and tes
tified that the prisoners were tbe men who had
been playing cards in bis place, aud who had
gonu out after the man who had been robbed.
They were held iu default of $2000 bull each, to
answer the charge ot highway robbery.
Keesey, it will be remembered, was pardoued
last Friday by Governor Curtia. He had been
convicted of being a party to a prizefight a
short time ago. which came off at Church Lnhe
and Media Kailroad, in the Twenty-fourth Ward.
The other man, Johnny Green, is still serving
out his sentence, both having been sent b'jlow
for nine months ach.
An Unseasonable Fellow. A man
giving the name oi Kett Manly was arrested on
a charge of assault aud batiery last night. It
appeals that Manly has a manly lova for maul v
sports, and esjiecially for the manly art of solf
delense. Like many another man in whom the
desire for knowledge is implanted to an intense
degree, he is unable to gratify his curiosity,
owiue to the niggardliness of Dame Fortune in
not showering greenbacks upon blm. It ap
pears, in fact, tbat Kitt went into Mr. Dougher
ty's drinking saloon, at Front and Dock streets,
and asked him to lend him money to go on and
see the approaching prize-debt.'' Of course
Dougherty refused to do it, and Manly went into
bim in a style that would have doue credit to
the "Boy" himself. Manly was arrested, how
ever, and had a hearing before Alderman But
ler, wtio held him iu $1000 bail to answer lor his
irritability.
UfA Heavy (?) Kobbeky Frustrated.
William Monk, a covetous individual, undertook
to steal a roll ot oil-cloth from the furniture
store of Mr. A. P. Millis, in Market street, near
Fifteenth. William, however, ual miscalcu
lated the thine. In the first place, his muscle
was not sufliciently developed to carry off tbp
roll with a reasonable degree of speed; and in
the second place, he did not allow for the eyes
of others beirg upon his movements. As it was.
tbe first compelled him to drop tho plunder, and
the second ensured his capture by Officer
Weakly. For some time previous he had been
seen prowling aronnd, and had tried to transfer
a coat Irom a tailor's peg to his DaoK. Alder
man Jones beard the history ol his little opera
tions, detailed In a graphic form, and then held
him to answer lor bis little pame.
'Titem 190." Some time ago a party of
men lormed themselves into a beneficial organi
zation, under the name ot tbe Widows' ttelief
Association. Stein Wolf, one of tne corpora
tors, thinking this a good opportunity of replen
ishing his exhausted (lunds, went around to
various parties and collectedvarious small suras
of money, amounting in the aggregate to about
$190. Elated at the possession of such an
amount ot cash, he went on a oenuer, ana in
the course of a few days his riches took wings.
Those whom he had swindled brought an action
against him on the charge of embezzlement.
Sergeant Murray arrested him at Mansfield
place ,and took him before Alderman Hurley.
After a hearing in the caso he was held in $500
bail to answer thequerv. "Where is them $190?"
A Hard Customer. Some time ago a
man giving the name ot Robert Stuart was be
fore Alderman Allen, and during the hearing in
his case lie behaved in such a violent und un
ruly manner tbat Hutenant Tolbert ordered
him to be put out. Mr. Hollowav, the turnkey,
obeyed the order given by the Lieutenant.
Shortly afterwards Mr. Hollownv was charged
by Stuart witn aauit aim omery, Din was
honorably acquitted by Alderman Davis, before
whom tbe charge was mane. Mr. iioiiowav
sued out a warrant asalnst Stuart tor perjury
and disorderly conduct. The hearing was held
before Alderman Allen this morulng, who
deemed the evidence conclusive enough to com
mit Stuart to an'r thP flmrnw.
Henry Vincent, Esq. We would re
mind our readers that this eloquent and dis
tinguished r.ngiisn retormer. who made such a
favorable impression on the occasion of his
recent visit to this city, will repeat, by invita
tion, his great lecture ou "Oliver Cromwell," at
the Acaoemy oi juusio io-morrow evening, ins
description of the battle ot Marston Moor w
roost thrilling aud effective, and bis portrait of
the dispersion ot tn Loug farliameut bv
Cromwell is both amusing and dramatic. No
one should fail to hear him on this occasion, as
it will be tne taut opportunity mis winter.
Unsuccessful. James Oakley, a lal if

ol larceny, it apoeit mm jiuui-s went into a

Habeas Corpus Case.
Washinotoh, January 15. Two colored boys,
who escaped from their former master, Or. Wat
kit s, ot Montgomery county, Mary and, were
brought before Judue Wylio, of the Supreme Court
of this District, yesterday, on a writ of habeas
corpus, and alter a hoaring, the Court ordored the
children to be returned to tboir old master. The
greuud of such restitution was based opon evidence
that the ohildren, under a Maryland statute, had
b en apprenticed to Watkins after their emanoiDa-
tion. The counsel tor the children pleaded ill treat
ment by the matter, and tbat the apprenticing
of the children was in violation of the Civil
Rights bill, in that the laws of Maryland
on tbe subject of approntioing tbe children
ot emancipated slaves make a distinction between
white and colored; that they do not require the
master to educate tbe latter; and, further, that those
children were apprendced without the consent ot
their natural protectors. The evidence went to
show that these children were in a most dostitnte
ai d deplorable condition when they reached their
lather in (jeorgetown, being covered with varimn,
aud their elotbes ragged and dirty. Tue mother
also bad bten the slave oi Watkins; bad died since
her emancipation, in the woods, irom sheer neglect
and hanger. These facta were testified upon the
bearnv of the case. After the order of the Court,
an appeal was taken, but be ore sei vioo oould oe
had 'he master departed with ihe oniidren.
