Fire Insnranc'.B The following letter, taken froO he editorial colum nil of the North American of jfsterday, Is of considerable Interest to insurers: Offku Uirabd Kirk Insurikoi Comtakt, ) M. If. corner Chesnut and seventh sis., -Philadkuhia, Nov. 6, 18i7. ) L. W. Cram, Esq., Agent, No. 19 Kllby street, Boston, Dear Slr In reply to the usual Inquiries made of you relating to our business esnnec tions with the Boston Agency, you are at liberty to ai swer as we should endeavor to do at tbU eftket That this Company Beyer deemed It necessary to Join any combination of "Under writers" whatever. Indeed, for the many years we have been In business, we have felt an uu wllllnpneKs to enter into any pledges, except those made with the insuring public. These we bare been able faithfully to keep and abide by. We could print and issue to our Agents a schedule cf rates and adopt rules of business, either arbitrary or liberal; but it is not so easy, however, to obtain such rates or enforce such rule upon the public. The field of insurance is too wide, the character of our risks so varied, that our Aarents will find it vastly more import ant to discriminate properly and carefully be tween individuals and property. Tney must have and use some discretiouary power In such matter. If, as we term it. the "moral hazard" could be made less, we might conadent.lv look tor a dimi nution of tires, and a corresponding reduction in rales. Perhaps the multiplicity of Insurance Companies within the past few years has had somrthinir to do in encouraging '"over Insu rance." and their agents thus tempted to take, great rli-ks at .nadequste rates of premium. This U not the fault of the public, or justly chargeable to parties Insuring. We have in Philadelphia about seventy-five companies from abroad, all ' anxious to do a good paving busi ness. Most of them are from New York and Connecticut; others from Europe. This is, perhaps, a sufficient reason why we should (lev ire to do business in your city and other, and we have established, long since, agencies at St. Louis, Chicago, Louisville, Cin cinnati and the larger towns in our own State, and more recently in New York, Boston, Port land, New Haven. Hartford, and Springfield. It is true that our agents axe instructed to act independently in many things, but to co-operate with the responsible local companies, so far as possible, in maintaining a fair tariff of rates, abd the dignity of the profession. We deem this essential to all parties, and no thing should be done by either to undermine the Indemnity promised by the Underwriter. For, alter all, this is, in our estimation, the most important and vital matter to all con cerned. We have been able to successfully Insure more than one hundred millions of dollars' worth of property within the past fourteen years, and to pay eight hundred and fifty losses by fire. There Is not a dollar due or unpaid on this or any other account. Why should we not desire still to insure the people? Our stockholders have alo received very .ati'actory dividends. The "Gieat Port land Fire" did not injure as in the least, hence We have no occasion to add to the calamities of the good people of that city, or any other, by an extraordinary increase of rates at this time. I am, very truly yours, Alfred S. Cillbtt, Vice-President an 1 Treasurer. Philadelphia, Nov. 19. 1867. At a nieetlog of the residents of Broad street, held last evening, it was unanimously Setolved, That statements made In an editorial Of the Horth American of Nov. 16. 1867, are In every par ticular Incorrect (la mistake, probably), that the widening ef the footways does not diminish, but does, on the contrary, Increase the original cost and ex pense to the property owners. Betolved, That our chief aim la to embellish and beaullty our street. Bewlwd, That we never had, and have not now. any Intention of encroaching on the extended footway. EtBoUtd, That we do believe the opposition gotten np to defeat this Improvement of our favorite drive and promenade Is but a forerunner of an effort wbloh will be made the coming winter to ruin it by a double track horse railroad. Now, Mr. Editor, In passing and publishing thess resolutions we make no charge against his Honor the Mayor, but In defense of the charge of selfishness brought against us by the writer of the aforesaid arti cle, and to show the honesty of our purposes to onr fellow-cltiKens. We do believe, from the absence of all largument In his Honor's veto sent to Common Council, there exists a power behind the throne which to us has proved irresistible; or why should be refute the petition of every property-holder on Broad street T why disregard the request of his fellow-cltl-aens who crowd that thoroughfare, not only on Ban day, but on every pleasant afternoon T It Is ridiculous to say that It will Interfere with tne future improve ment of the street. Bland on the corner of Broad and Poplar streets, and look north; at this point commenoea the narrow ing, and yon see nothing but one long stretch or pala tial residences, a beautiful avenue of trees, and aU the evidence of future magnificence. Now look south; bsre the atreet widens, and what see yon, with few exoeptlODS, bnt mills, factories, blacksmith shops, coal and lumber yards? Now, Mr. Editor, all we want, and we are supported by nlne-tentbs of our fellow -cUisvens, Is permission to carry out and perfect ur original design. "' THOMAS A. REILLY, M. D., Becretary.

Tbb Cretan Scfpebebb .The history of tbe straggle 'which the Inhabitants of the dis tant Island of Crete are making for their inde pendence, cannot be well.known In Its details to our people; but we have all had intimations, now ana lueo, lor more man a year, oi ine ter rible snflerings which they have undergone. In Hew York, and Boston committees were organized last year to do something for their relief, and the old well-known friend of Greece In Its revolutionary days, forty years ago, Dr. Bamuel O. Howe, of Boston, went out to that country to oversee tbe distribution of the relief mat was sent, we understand that he has Just returned, and now, at the moment when the struggle is recommencing, he proposes a visit to ruuaaeipnia to leu tue story or the Cretan sufferings. A number of gentlemen have been ai-aea to meet mm at ine Board of Trade Rooms, No. 505 Chesnut street, on to-morrow (Friday) evening, at 8 o'clock, and all who feel an lute rest la ine suDiect are invited to attend. Tt la surely fitting that Phllaaelpnla should Join her staler cities In this cause of religion and hu manity. ITomb for Littlr Wahdkrerb The ap proaching cold weather should remind our clti cena that there are benevolent citizens' institu tions In our city that require a more liberal support, In order to provide for tbe wants wbloh a winter sea Hon so rapidly Increase. The Home for Little Wanderers is such an institution as Khould have a large share of the public benevo lence. The object of the Home is well under stoodthat of doing all the good possible to poor little children. Tbe poor send their little ones there, who are washed, clothed, fed, and taught free of charge. Let our people remem ber tlmt it Is situated at Tenth and Shlppen streets, and that It gives bread to tbe hungry, aod clothes to tbe naked: that it is a home for the homeless, regularly incorporated, and not sectarian. Thr Globus of the Bonbbak will be re vealed to-morrow evening, at tbe new Horti cultural Hall, by Professor Edward L. You mans, of .New York, the oooaslon being the second lecture of the course before the Teachers' Institute of this city. Professor Youmans Is one of tbe most eloquent sotentiuo men In this country, and has few equals In the art of elabo rate word painting. Several years ago we beard bim tit liver a lecture on "The Masquerade of the Elements," In wbioh he displayed the most thorough acquaintance with the great science of chemistry, and at the same time a wonderful command of brilliant language. We doubt not bnt that bis lecture on "The Chemistry of the Sunbeam," to be delivered to-morrow evening, will fully sustain tbe renutatlon whlub be enjoys both at home and abroad. Labcbky of China Ware William Thomp son, aged fifty years, was occasionally employed to unpack ware at Brown's obina store, Paa synnk road and bhlppen street.

Vnlterl States taso.OOO Discovery that Bardlsies a5 Preserved Fruits Are Not Stamped, There is quite a com motion among the gro cers and other dealers in prewer,ved frnlM, sar dines, ate., created by the operatloO" of Deputy Collector Kneass, of tbe Heoood ColK'otton J1" trlct, during the past few day Tba.1 ollloial P heen making a series of observations .tmong the dealers in these commodities, t Ire result of Which is tbe discovery that the internal ra e- stamp which, as is alleged, is required to piRred upon them, is very generally omitted. Deputy Kneasa has already attached article for this evasion of the law on which the penal ties amount to f250,000. one establishment alone. It Is said, being full 11,000 in arrears to tbe Government, As soon as possible tha necessary documents will be prepared, and, In a few days It is the intention of the omoers to seize all the establishments which, have thus been guilty of an alleged violation of tbe law. The matter Is destined for a time to create a semation almost rivalling that caused by the non-payment of taxes on whlskv illicitly manufactured. The following la the law Which applies to these articles: ''i'reiierved meats, fruits, etc., for and upon every can, bottle, or otber single package, containing meats, ilsh, ahell-flsb, fruits, vegetables, sauces, syrtiim, prepared mustard, Jams orlellles contained therein, and packed or sealed, made, prepared, a ad sold, or oiTered for sale, or removed for consumption In the United Btatea, on and after tbe first day of Oc tober, eighteen hundred and sixty-six, when such can, bottle, or other single pnekage with Its content, shall not exoeed two pounds la weight, the sum of one cent, "When such can, bottle, or other single package, with lis contents, ahall exceed two pounds In weight, for every additional pound or fractional part thereof, one cent." From the high standing and unimpeachable business character of our leading wholesale and retail grocers, we do not doubt that this alleged omission of the stamps, as required by tbe law, has been the result or inadverteuoe or a misun derstanding of its requirements. A Dishonest Bedfellow. Willis J. Robin son went to bed last last night at about 11 o'clock, with another gentleman, at a board ing house at Fifteenth and South streets. When everything was dark and quiet, and Robinson felt assured that his neighbor was sound asleep, he got up, and groped around till be found the pantaloons of tbe latter, and was about to "go through them" when the supposed sleeper and owner thereof got up softly too, and Jnst as Robinson was about to accomplish his deslgu, he felt himself suddenly flying towards one corner of the room. The intended victim then cried "police," and tbey being about, arrested Robinson, who was committed, by Alderman Mink In default of 800 bail. Larceny of Flannel. John Cabe, who lives at Fourth and Stflppen streets, with two others, stole from the front ot a store at Heoond and Caliowhlll streets two rolls of flannel. Officer Houck, stationed near by, saw the manoeuvre, and gave chase. At Coates street they took a oar, and when at Eleventh and Coates tbey got out. But the offloer came up in time to ontch Cabe, who was escorted to the Seventh District Station House, where be was committed by Alderman Toland. Robbbrt of ?55. Patrtok Igoa was arrested for the larceny of t'A. It seems that he and a Mr. Murphy bad been staying at No. 2302 Mar ket street; that one night both slept together, and that Murpny, on awaking next morning, missed bis wallet, with the above amount Igoa was arrested and searched, when money to the mount and corresponding to the other was fonnd upon bim. Alderman Warren commit ted bim. Popular Leotpres. Henry Vincent, the popular English orator, will deliver two lectures In onr city, under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian Association. The first will take place at Concert Hall, on November 26 Bobject, "John Milton;" the second on Thurs day, 28th Subject, "Garibaldi." Mr. Vlnoent is an eloquent speaker, and these lectures will no doubt prove Immensely attractive. Musical Testimonial. On Friday evening, a musical and vocal entertainment will be given to Mr. Stephen McCaffrey, disabled from pulmonary disease and loss of sight, contracted while In the army, at Mechanics' Hall, Fonrth and George streets. The friends of Mr. McCaf frey bave resolved that tbe concert ahall be unusually fine, and a dellgbtfal evening may be anticipated. Suspicious Case. John Morgan was found by Lieutenant Connelly yesterday afternoon. In a seml-lntoxlcated condition, stowed away In one of Adams' large express wagons, at Six teenth and Loons t streets. He had got In there, as it la alleged, to purloin some of its oontents. Alderman Hwift committed him for a further hearing. Stealing Wearing ' Apparel. Henry Pitts and Charles Scott (colored! were arrested by Officer Parker, of the Fifth District Police, for stealing some wearing apparel from Tuoker's stable, at Twenty-first and Sansom streets.

The whole vol of the State being 110.000, yet 100,000 voters bad controlled the election, oa.000 of whom were negroes, controlling the 45,000 white voters who were not disfran chised. An oligarchy now existed and reigned In Tennessee, and the Franonlse law there was atllegisceto any free form of government a dishonor to civilization, and a reprobation to all forms of republican self-government. Hav ing disposed of this general objection, he pro ceeded to stale his special objectlou to the swearing in of Mr. Butler, a member from Tennessee, because as a member of- the T nnt ssee .Legislature, before and during the Rebellion, be had introduced, supported, and voted for resolutions and mea sures proving bis disloyalty to tbe Uuited Slates Government. Among those were reso lutions to reject the confirmation of any man wno endorsed the Helper book; condemning tbe appointment ot Mr. Seward in Mr. Lin coln's cabinet, as an act of hostility to tbe Son th; and for the calling of a convention to tubs tne Klata out of the Union. He quoted the precedent established by tha Republican sl or tbe House last July lu re-p-irrt to the Kentucky members, and argued tbat they were Irrevocably bound by it. He ob jected to the swearing in of Mr. Mullen as a member from Tennessee, on tbe ground that he had elven aid and comfort to tbe Rebellion: had mad speeches In behalf of it; bad lent his aid in support oi ii; ana naa aiteuiptea to raise troop for it, having made a speeon In Bedford couuly.ln lfil, in wbloh he urged the young men to enlist in a uebel company, ana to ut ttnil thnlr liomea and flrsldea. He or iented to tbe awearlna in of Mr. Arnall (Tenn.) on the ground that he bad established, in Lawrence county, Tenn., a tannery wbloh wba devoted to supplying shoes to the Rebel uolillcrs. His objection to Mr. Trimble Was the in formation tbat if be voted at all on the que-, tlou of seowtaiou he bad voted (or taking Tu nraseeouioi tucUnlow, NOVEMBER 21, 1867. Mr. Trimble, In his seat, assured Mr. Brjoki (N. Y.) that be had not done so. Mr. Brooks accepted thedenlnl, and therefore Withdrew all special objections to Mr. Trimble. Mr. Eldridge stated to the House tbe grounds on wliloh be objected to tbe swearing in of Mr. Stokes, ftf Tennessee. It was that Mr. Stokes had admitted in the House, on the 27l.li of July, ISM, bis having written a letter to Mr. John Duncan on the 10th of May, 18M. stating tbat he understood some gross misrepresentations were going tbe rounds of his section In refe rence to his position, which be wished to oor reel. Tbat he had been a aealons advocate of tbe Union np to the time President Llnooln had called for 76,000 troops, in violation of law and for the subjugation of tbe South. That he commended Governor Harris, of Tennessee, for his course", and for arming the State and resisting Mr. Lincoln at tbe point of the bayo net, and tbat he had enrolled his name as a volunteer to resist Lincoln's usurpation Mr. Logan (III ) expressed his gratification at Seeing members on the Democratic side of the House coming np to the mark. He was willing to have the matter ot Mr. Butler referred; but aa to Mr. Stokes he thought tbat if any man could wipe out a wrong that noble man bad wiped out the wrong of that lotter, fighting for tbe Union while some of them were publishing treasonable articles. Mr. Dawes ( Mass ) moved, aa a substitute for the pending motion, that the credentials of Mr. Butler be referred to Jhe Committee on Elec tions, and that ponding the decision of the question he be not sworn In. He understood the gentleman from New York (Mr. Brooks) to make this motion In good faith, and he as sumed tbat tbat gentleman had made wonder ful progress since last session. When he put himself on the ground that no charge of dis loyalty, however flagrant and nalnable. was sufficient ground for the exclusion or a member who held tbe certificate of his election. He congralnlated the country on this wonderful conversion, for which there was no parallel since tbe celebrated Journey to Damascus. He trnsted that Mr. Brooks would continue Journeying on until he saw more dearly even man ine memnors on tne nepuoucan side what did constitute loyalty and disloyalty. Tbe gentleman had also taken the ground to-aay tnat it was proper ior tne uouse to iook Into the Constitution of a State and decide whether It Is republican or not. He was happy iur uuch to uu aoie to atana wivn tne gentleman from New York, and to vote with bim. He welcomed him as a new convert, and expected him, like all converts, to take the lead, and to do works meet for repentance. Mr. Kelly (Pa.) opposed all the motions look ing to the exclusion .of any of tbe Teunesse members, and eulogized the character and ser vices of Mr. Stokes. He wished the men of the North to know tbat it was the Demooratlo party on this floor which did not reoognize any place or time for repentance wbioh could relieve disfranchisement, not for the Rebel lion, but for tbe holding of opinions in 1861, which tbey held to-day, on tbe suojeot of 8tate rights, and the degradation of the oolored people.
