Cowsbrvatism, like tho slothful man of the liook of Proverb", always says, " There 1h a liou without; I Bhall be slain in tho streets." ?ut when Progrons has dragged her into the streets there i8 no lion there, and Conservatism follows on unharmed. We can all remember when it was assumed as an altogether incontrovertible truth, that the immediate and unconditional emancipation of the slaves of the South would be the signal for their general uprising, to engage In the pleasant pastime of cutting their former mas ters' throats. This was a view of the subject always insisted upon by those especially inte rested in never having- the experiment of emancipation fairly tried. And so persistently was it maintained that, probably, the mass even of anti-slavery people came to adopt it, and really thought that immediate emancipa tion, if ever attempted, would result in some lemendous convulsion. Time passed on, and slavery was abolished in a day immediately and unconditionally. And although the nation was at the time con vulsed with war, and a rising on the part of the slaves would have met the moral sanction of the civilized world, yet not a single deed of violence was committed. There was no liou in the streets, after all. A similar experience, at least in its pre liminary stages, we have passed through in regard to allowing the blacks to exercise the right of the elective franchise. This has been a very big and fierce lion in tho eyes of conservatives. Negro suffrage was a thing not to be thought of. The most terrible results were sure to attend the attempt to put it in practice. j Well, yesterday there was an election in Georgetown, a real democratic, republican election, in which all tho people, without dis tinction of race or color, participated. Where was the lion? Ho was not to be found. The polls were quiet and orderly. The election was admirably conducted, and the result was the first fair expression of the popular will which has ever been had in Georgetown. One great fact of this kind is worth a whole volume of theorizing. It shows that republican in stitutions are adapted not merely to the tew, but to the many to the masses. Again, such a fact as this gives a new mean ing to the expression "the people." The re sult of yesterday's election in Georgetown shows that what has hitherto been called the people in that city was merely a minority of the true people. So it will be found all over the South when the people, and not a mere fraction of them, shall be allowed to speak. The Benefits of Life Insurance. Thh subject of life insurance needs only to be understood to command the attention of people of all classes and conditions in life. Although it is rapidly gaining ground, the masses of the people, unfortunately for them selves, have not as yet participated in its ad vantages to any considerable extent. Without doubt, this arises in some measure from tho fact that it generally requires more time and trouble to persuade a working man to take ' out a policy for $500 than it does to obtain fror a merchant or capitalist an insurance of 110,000 or $20,000. As large insurances pay the agents of the different companies much better than small ones, they very naturally neglect the latter for the sake of securing the former. As every man and woman must die, a policy upon the life of any one id a positive agree ment to pay the amount provided for. The whole gystem is based upon natural laws; while, on the contrary, fire and marine in surance is founded on a calculation of chances, on a contingency which may never happen. The one is uncertain, the other is certain. The 'expectation" of life, or its average duration, at any and every age, is determined with . almost mathematical, certainty; and when the ' business is conducted upon scientific princi pies, and the funds invested in such secure manner as the law requires in all cases of trust funds, no other financial transaction can be safer or surer. Nor is there any way in which Sinall sums can be invested with so much ad vantage. A life-insurance company is the best providept institution or savings bank that was ever devised. The merest pittance pan tnus be made available to those who are dependent upon one for support; and when a man with a large family, and a salary so moderate that it barely suffices for making both ends meet at the end of the . year, is suddenly called to the other world in the very prime of life, the pittance thus in vested will realize his loved ones a hundred, aye, even a thousand fold. . The laboring man, clerk, or small merchant who is an habitual smoker, or who indulges in the more repre , henaible practice of "chewing," by denying . himself these doubtful luxuries, can secure with the money thus saved a policy on his life, the proceeds of which will rear a barrier between his wife and little ones and the troubles and Bufferings which fall to the lot of those who are at once fatherless and penniless. It is then that the smallest sum is a Godsend, and with the smallest sum hunger can be driven from the door and anguish from the heart. For $800 or $1000 a widow oan stock a small store; can furnish a boarding-house, THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PniLADELPlItA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2C, 18C7. paying her first quarter's ront in advance; can rent a small farm, if she have sturdy boys to help ber till it; in truth, can do a score of things that will place her feet upon the rock of independence, and pave for her and her de pendent family a way to compotence. j Life insurance companies on the Joint-stbck principle have existed in Europe for over a century, and one such has been in active Ope ration in this city for more than fifty years. But the strictly mutual companies did not come into existence in tho United States until about twenty-five years ago. Since then their success has far surpassed the most sanguine expectations. : Moreover, during that period, so many valuable improvements in the terms of payment and in the kinds of insurance have been developed, that nothing further would now soem neoessary. r The various kinds of policies now in use are thus enumerated: 1. "The ordinary whole life policy," upon which the premiums are paid during tho life of tho insured, or until the dividends aro equal to the premiums, which is the case in some Companies. 2. "Whole-life policies upon the five and ten-year plan of payment." In these the premiums are all paid within five and ten years;, and after the lapse of that period a cash income is secured during the remaining years of life, and the amount of tho insurance at death. 3. "Ordinary endowment policies," upon which the premium is payable until the endowment falls due, or until death, if it should occur be fore the time specified. 4. "Endowment policies upon the five and ton-year plan of payment." An endowment policy is a double contract. The insurance is payable at a fixed time say at fifty, fifty-five, or sixty years of age or at death, if it sooner occur. Such a policy adds to the advantages of an "ordinary whole-life policy," security against misfortune in the later years of life. Policies for large or small amounts are granted to all applicants in good health, and the same kind of insurance is sold upon the same torms to all. At twenty-five years of age an ordinary life insurance for $500 will cost less that twenty cents per week; at thirty, it will cost less than twenty-three cents per week; at thirty-five, twenty-six and a half cents per week; and at forty, less than thirty cents per week; while larger or smaller amounts can bo obtained in precisely the same proportion. The payment of tho premiums varies according to the company, some re quiring the whole amount in cash, others ac cepting a portion of it in credit. Such is a brief exposition of the leading principles of life insurance, and of the benefits arising therefrom. To commend the subject to the thoughtful attention of every man and woman upon whom there are others depen dent for support, is our earnest and impartial desire. It only remains to be said that a policy of life insurance is effectually secured against debts and obligations of every descrip tion whatsoever which may be left unsatisfied by the person upon whose life the insuranco is taken, when the policy is granted in the name of the person or persons for whose bene fit it is to accrue. The Iteform Movement and the English Covernmt)ut. , Tuf speech made by Mr. Disraeli in the House of Commons upon tho reform question, and the resolutions introduced by him in behalf of the Government yesterday, indicate with sufficient clearness the irreconcilable an tagonism which separates the governing classes and the masses of the people of Great Britain. The third of these resolutions affirms "that while it is desirable that a more direct repre sentation should lie given to the laboring class, it is contrary to the Constitution of this realm to give, to any one class or interest a pre.dominatin power ovr the rest of the community." Mr. Disraeli elaborated this idea in his speech at length, winding up with the asser tion that in any measures which the Govern ment might bring forward, they should assert "that the elective franchise must be regarded as a popular privilege, and not as a democratic right." The long and short of this is, that the Eng lish Government is a Government of "classes," and not of the people, and that the ruling classes are determined to hold on to their power as long as possible. They rightly judge that the extension of the elective franchise to the masses of the people would eventually change the existing order of things, and revo lutionize the present English Constitution. Wexlo not wonder that John Bright and the masses look upou these resolutions as an "in-' suit," and totally inadequate to the necessi ties and just demands of the English people. The agitation must go on. It is not impossible that tho governing classes may hold on to their unjust power until the strong hand of revolution sweeps them aside. It is certain that no such halting and half-way scheme as Mr. Disraeli has put forth will satisfy the people. Congress asd the Cotton Tax. We are glad to see that the House of Representatives yesterday refused to agree to the amendment to the Tax bill striking out the tax on cotton, adopted iu Committee of the Whole a few days since. Mr. Morrill showed that while the cotton tax d uring the year 1 fetitl in the Rebel States amounted to over fifteen millions of dollars, the taxes from all other sources amounted to less than five millions, so that striking out the tax on cotton would be about equivalent to relieving the Rebel States from taxation altogether. The idea that the slight tax now imposed discourages the production of cotton is falla cious. We do not believe it diminishes the production a single pound. That tax is the only method by which the South can be made to sustain even a small share of the enormous burdens she has heaped upon the country, and the House has done well fa refusing to abrogate it. Mr. Defrees and the Office of Congren , , ionl Printer. , t We are glad to see that Hon. J. I. Defrees is likely to be elocted by the Senate to the new office of Congressional Printer an office which, by a law just passed, supersedes that of Super intendent of PublJo Printing. Mr. Defrees.undor the appointment of President Lincoln, filled this latter office for some time, and conducted that department of tho public business l-itlt such fidelity and discretion as to secure a large annual saving in expense to the Govern ment. He was finally removed on political grounds, to make room for Mr. Cornelius Wendell, who has held the position down to the present time. The law just passed makes the Congressional Printer an officer of the Senate, to le elected by that body. We shall 1k glad to see Mr. Defrees again in a position which he is so admirably fitted to fill. Important Lkttkii from kx-Govkknoii Buowx, of OiioituiA. Ex-Governor Brown, of Georgia, is out in a strong letter urging the people of that State to take immediate measures for re organizing their Government in conformity with the Reconstruction, bill which has just passed Congress. He says it is the best offer they will ever have. He recommends the Gov ernor to immediately call the Legislature of that State together, and urge upon them the call ing of a Constitutional Convention. He says if the white people treat the'blacks well, pay them their wages promptly, and in all respects deal justly by them, their action at the polls need not be feared. Tun Mksbagk of Governor Biamlette, of Kentucky, which we published yesterday, is only additional evidence of tho wild spirit of lawlessness and disorder which prevails at the South. That Message is very good to go along side of the resolutions of the Rebel Democracy of Kentucky. Each is a good commentary on the other. - Tjik New Comet. At the last sitting of tho Academy of Sciences in Paris, M. Leverrior oommunicated details of the observation of the new comet discovered at Marseilles on the 22d ultimo by M. Stephan. but reobserved with greater care on the 25 th ultimo, at 55 minutes past 8, meantime of Marseilles. At that precise hour tho right ascension was 2h. 33m. 52-5s., the polar distance 74 deg. 2li m. horary motion in right ascension 5-17 sec. in polar distance 1-2!) niin. M. Stephan describes the comet as being exceedingly brilliant, of a roundish shape, and a strongly marked nucleus. It nevertheless appeared so condensed on one side as to lead him to suspect that there might be something like a fan-shaped tail on the other. He also thinks that the comet is gradu ally increasing in brilliancy. M. Leverrier said that it could not be observed at Paris, owing to the state of the weather. The oldest of the superior officers of the French army, and probably of any army in Europe, Colonel Andre Marchal, has just died ai Chalons-sur-Saone, in his one hundred and third year. He was born at Lyons in 17l4 He entered the service in 1781, in tho Canta brian Hussars a corps which became in 1791 the 5th Battalion of Light Infantry. He served in all the wars of the first Napoleon, and in 1815 was placed on half pay. He then counted thirty-four years' active service twenty-two campaigns, five wounds, and he had repeatedly distinguished himself. He was a Knight of the Empire, Officer of the Legion of Honor, and Knight of the Military Order of St. Louis. Only two years ago the Emperor Napoleon III conferred on this gallant veteran the cross of Commander of the Legion of Honor. Among the few brevet promotions after death', confirmed by the Senate on Saturday was that of First Lieutenant Bayard Wilkeson, son of Samijel Wilkeson, of the New York Tribune, killed at the age of nineteen at the battle of Gettysburg, in command of Battery G. 4th Regular Artillery, promoted to be cap tain for gallantry in the battle of the Deserted House, and to be major for gallantry at Fre dericksburg, and lieutenant-colonel for gal lantry at Gettysburg. The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edin burgh, the Duke of Cambridge, Lord Stanley, and all the members of the English Commis sion, are to be present at the opening of the Universal Exhibition. The French Emperor is frequently present at the fencing lessons given by M. Bonnet to the Prince Imperial. His Majesty, who is him self an able hand, occasionally does M. Bonnet the honor ol crossing toils with him. ; Brussels contains 190,000 inhabitants Ghent, 120,000; Antwerp, 124,000; and Liege 105,000.
