ThkRbnkwalot Insurance Policies. decision of the CommUsioner f Inwr.vil Re Tenne on the question whether tuo renewal receipt attached to a fire policy should be stamped states that when by the tonus of the policy it expires by limitation in one year, the renewal receipt coutinue a no contract, renewing or continuing tho policy f r another year. It should the refore have attorn to tbe same amount as the original policy. Borne misapprehension on this subject h is been occasioned by the exemption of receipts from stamp dutv, under section fourteen of the n!t of July 14. 1870. Previous to that amendment, receipts for premiums, which simply prevented a policy ffom expiring by reaon of non-performance of Its conditions, as in he case of a common form of Hie policies of indefinite dura tion, were held to require only a two-cent receipt stamp. Accordingly they are now considered as cominer under the treneral exemption of re ceipts. There Is no other change In the stamp tax affecting insurance. Any writing, whether called a "receipt" or otherwise, which contain" a contract, renewing a policy that has expired from any cause, oris about t expire by limiti tion, should be stamped the same as an original policy.

It was the last to which she was attached, and is the one of which her surviving sifter, Mis Pucs'ie Carv, Is a member. A memorial window has been de cided upon by ber friends as more appropriate than a tablet. An artist is engaged on the design, and tbe window will be as rich as the contribu tions of her friends will justify, it is necessary only to state this object to setmre the necessary funds. A few dollars from each of her many friends and admirers will make this gracwtiil monument to her memory. Contributions will be received in Philadelphia ny Iesrs. J. B.

But these worthies went about the work of removal in a manner highly reprehensible. Last night, under cover of tbe darkness, they "jimmied" a door-of the bouse, and ransacked It, carrying off jewelry and a pocket-book containing $20. As they were making their exit, one of them he who had the funds so surreptitiously obtained was captured. He refused to give his name. He will have a hearing at the Central Station.

"Since the opening of our road we have oeen seeking to secure the transportation of tes and silks of China and Japan, and arrangements have recently been made to secure a large por tion of this business overland, and we expect during the coming season a very large increase of receipts from this source. "The great mutations which have taken place in our securities in the months past perhaps demand some explanation. After we had saved the Government millions upon millions on the cost of transportation over the plains and to tbe Pacific; after we bad done away with the neces sity of keeping soldiers for eighteen hundred miles to secure the safety ot emigration and trans-continental trade; after we had opened the vast interior to settlement seven years earlier than required of us by our charter, the action of some of the departments of the Government became so hostile to us as to shake the credit of the corporation. "The Treasury Department first refused to re celve United States raclfic Railroad bonds as a basis for banking, and thus lessened their mer cantile value. It next selected and set apart these bonds in its monthly publication of the public debt as if not a portion of the debt of the United States, but of our road exclusively, thus apparently indicating its irresponsibility, and thereby again lessening their value. Thea pun ished monthly not only the indebtedness with nterest, but the deficit of the interest, as if due by us and left unpaid, and then, worst of all and hardest of all, withheld from us our earnings in the transportation of etters, newspaper-packages, and of army and navy, all of which we had hitherto been paid one-half of as under act of Congress. The Treasury Department was fortified lu the last act of injustice by an opinion of the Attorney- General. These repeated blows against this, the greatest work of the age, no unexpectedly directed, sh ook our credit for a time, for it was soon seen and felt that no corporation could withstand such attacks, and hence the wide and wild variations in the market value of our securities. Tho Judiciary Committee of the United States Senate, every member except one, offset their legal opinion, that the interest was not due, against the opinion ot the Attorney-General that it was due, and every other committee in both houses ot Congress, before whom the question was brought, agreed with the Judiciary Committee of the Senate Both houses of Congress finally reversed the action of the Treasury Department and ot the Attorney-General, the House of Representatives, without a division, and the result is tbe res tor a tlon of the credit of the company, with a great advance in all its securities.

Mr. Miller said that this proposition was an excel lent one, and would save the city thousands of dol lars wr.lch she was now about borrowing to pay for a local 'mprovement on Broad street.

The Aaansala Known to the Police load ver tent lonfea.len of a. Profmalonal Hurclar. The Times announced the confinement of Ellis at the Sixth Ward Htation-house several week ago, but refrained from mentioning bim by name, for fear that it would injure if not defeat tbe plans of the detectives. It merely stated that tbe prisoner was supposed to have some knowledge of tbe murder, although tbe reporter was in full possession of all tbe facts in the case, which, as it was believed, were not known to more than four persons. One of these was tbe late Superintendent Jourdan, wboee suspicions fastened ou For rester from a remark which Ellis was reported to bave made in tbe State Prison, where he was imprisoned for burglary. It was told to the late superintendent that Ellis had said, on hear ing of tbe Nathan murder, that he had planned with Forrester previous to his arrest and sen tence to "crack" tbe house of Mr. Nathan, ia Twenty-third street. Mr. Jourdan promptly obtained a writ of habeas corpus from Judga Cardozo, and had Ellis brought from Sing-Sing; in a secret manner, and placed In the Franklin Street Station House, where he was kept in the mopt rigid seclusion. Before Mr. Jonrdan had sufficient time to elicit Any confession from Ellis he died, leaving, to Judge Cardozo, a relative of Mr. Nathan, aud Judge Dowling, his most Intimate friend, to gether with two other genttemen, the task; of unravelling tbe great mystery to which he bad devoted his constant and unflagging attention. So guarded and close did he preserve - his plana that lt was not until after his death that Mr. Kelso, his Chief Detective and subsequent suc cessor, became aware that he entertained anr suspicions against Ellis or Forrester. After t keeping Ellis here for six weeks, he was Bent back to State Prison without having peached on his "pal." In consideration of tbe premature publication of some of the minor facts about tbe detectives' operations, lt will not do any harm to mention. now that Ellis has been constantly watched by a fellow-convict ever since he re-entered the prison doors at Sing Sing. At one time the de tectives thought that tbey had enough vi1enee to make out a cose against Forrester, o t (hey found that it was not sufficient to prove tun guilty under the Jaw. The belief, however, luat be is tbe man bas almost strengthened into ft certainty. N. Y. Times to-day. "ytKDDINQ AND PARTY INVITATIONS BNGBAYK1) AND PRINTED IN THE LATEST; BTYLK.
