DELEGATE ELECTION.—We hope' our Whig
friends will not fotget their different at p.iintments for
next Saturday frth Sept.) in elect delegates fur the
County Convention. on the Monday folto , , v:.itte It is a
matter of considerable impo . rtance, that good men be
xietected as delegates: We *ould also Suggest what
experience and ordinary propriety would prompt in the
Delegate Meeting, ttiat thei members vote Tina race,
instead of by ballot, and that their prrieedirtge be
conducted with closed doors, as the Inconvenience of
interruption by visitert would therebr be avoided and
the basiness of the ConveutiOnltnuch expedited.
CONGRESSIONAL..
In the Senate, the most important feature
during,the week was th'e passage oflthe fugi
tive Slave Bill, on Monday. It giVes to the
owner every *security for the recovery of the
fugitive that he could deiire. The President,
it is suggested, will veto it, on the ground of
unconstitutionality. The Senate refused to
appoint a day for adjournment until the Cali
fornia and Texas Bills shall be disposed pf in
the liouse. On Thursday, theßill to abolish
the Slave tradeli, n the District of . Columbia,*
'was proposed by Mr. Clay, and'agreed to. It
was afterwards deferred malting it the special
order for libpday next.
On Thursday, ' in the House, the Bill estab
lishing a Territorial GOVernment for Utah,,
was read and referred to - the-Committee on'
Territories. The bill to settle the Texas
Boundary was then taken up, and after some
curious manceuvreing, a vote iraS had on the
question as stated be the Speaker, "Shall the
Bill be rejected r which was losay a 'ma
jority of 168 to *24.
,So the Boundary Bill
was not rejected. It is difficult, hnwever,-tO
draw any conclusion Cron? such a vote akto
the intention of the Honieupon ttiis ques
tion, as we find the names of every class of
•politicians among the votes' ou either side.
The dodging of trii. Tariff Qui.s'tiOn as pro
posyd by Mr. Hampton,: last Saturday, win
be found under another head. We regard
his amendment as a moderate and,equitahle
arrangement, and nothing but
,the manner
in which the vote was taken, concealing, the
times of the voters, could,prevent the uni
versal scoutin,g of its opposers. " '

Prof. John W. Webster was to have been

as we deplore the necessity of such a Bug
maryvipunishment
.on the part of the law,
still We r%*aril its strict execution in the'vin
dication of Justice, of far more consequence
than the life of one individual, it matters not
what attainments he has made, or what his
position maybe in the community. 'We
doubt not but that this instance of thelaw's
scrutiny in the investigation of crime, and
its fearless independence in the administra
tion of Justice, without .'fiar, favor or affec
tion,"wW go further toward the suppression
of crime - than the punishment of ten ordi

,offendets.
➢'Zany speculations are already, abroad in
regard to a confeision he was expected to
Make. We shall not he surprised at such a
revelation, but for the present forbear any
further comments.

of the time of his execution.
; THE PARKER WATER WHEEL.
Importa . nt Decision—lnjunctionßefured
The application to grant an injunction
a,gainst the use of these wheels by those now
using,thein, on tbegrounddiat it was an in
fringement of the Patent, has been refused by
the Circuit Court of the United States, after.
a patient inyestigation,
Justice Cirier gave his opinion on - the 26th
inst., which is too long for our columns, but
ritich'can be seenat this office. The prin.
eipal grounds upon which he bases the refu
fusal, is, that. the Proprietors of the Patent
claim more than they are entitled to, and that
it is still doubtful whether the Wheels now
' tised are a violation of the Patent—if they
are, they are only partly so. ,That their use
was acquiesced in fora long tithe, and the
notice of infringement, if any, had been de
layed for a long - time, and given'only-a short ,
time Wore the Patent expired.
1,, "To suddenly stop one hundred mills and
ininufsctories, e by injunctions issuedtt this
time, - would cause great and irreparable in
jury, not only to the defendants, but to the
Tiutilic at, large, and be of no correspond
lir, benefit to the plaintiff, whose interest it
r ,
is that they should use his invention ifs they
pay him for it. The plaintiffean becompen
sated for damages if the defendants shall be
found to have infringed his patent, and they
are amply able to pay both damages and
costs. In the six oreight weeks which this
patent has to run, it cannot be expected that
the complainant would sell any uew licenses.
if the defendants continue to use and
Pay hint for his invention, so much the bet
ter for him. There may be, and often are,
cases where the patent is for a machine to
make some articles of manufacture, or mer
chandise, in a cheaper method, %bass was be
tore known, and where the source of profit
toP the patentee arises from his monopoly of
the articles, and having no competitors in
the market. In such a ease, the damage to
the patentee by a piracy of his invention
be very great, and the court would
issue an injunction on a plaiwcase in the last
month or week of the patent'S life, or even
after the time limited for its expiration, to"
*train the sale of machines or articles pir
atically manufactured in violation of the pat
ent, while it Waain force. But in this case, the
injunction cannot benefit the plaintiff, except
by its - abuse. His standingby, for so many
years, without complaint or demand ofcom
pensation, is conclusive evidence that a con
tinuance of a nse:of his invetion, for a few
,
weeks or evert months longer, if paid for in
the end, will not be an injury ofsuch an irre
parable nature as to- require this sharp and
t hasty remedy."
There are a great many - of these Wheels
in use in this county, and the decision is
I therefore an important one to onr citizens.
- _ _
PERPETUAL IROVION.
,A machine was exhibited before the Ameri
can Scientific ConventiOn, in session at New
Haven, last week, to produce a uniform con
. nous-motion. :It was invented by Messrs:
Bond; of Cambridge, sodisiletlthe Spring
GOvernor. It is thus described in the Con
ventional proceedings: .
_ . I .ft consists of a train of xvheels communi
eating with a fly-wheel intermediate bet Ween
which and the motive power is a dead beat
escapement, connected with ,a half second
pCnclulum. The connection between the es
capement wheel and the rest of the machinery
is through a spring. The elasticity of.the
spring allows the motion of the circumference
of: the mcapement wheel to be arrested at
every beat of the pendulum, while the rest
of the trairi. continues, moving. By this
means ;II changes in the motive power are
effectually controlled, and alotation perfectly
continuous and uniform secured in the fly
wheel so that the moving fo'rce may be in
creased-without affecting its velocity.
iThe principle may be applied to various
forms and kinds of machinery. The deSign,
ia'the present instance, WEIS to secure an in
variahle motion to the ,recarding surfaces em
pkiyed in the electro"telwaphic operations
of the coast suivev. ,
t i A clock of Allis description is to be-ton
sttucted for the theat . Equatorial of the Cam
bridge Ot*etvatory.
!Anthracite Coal .4shes as a Manure. - -4
communication was presented to the Scien
tific Convention,or, TbUrsAlay,22d by Mr. J. B.
Brine; a chemist attached to the Yale La
bdratorv, on the subject of the soluble con
tents oratithracite coal ashes,..and the appli
cability' of the latter its a manure. - Mr. Bunce
finds that water dissolves' between 3 and 4
per cent. of both red and white ashes, while
acid from 17..t0 181 per cent. The soluble
matter consists principally of alumina, iron,
lime, and magnesia but there is also , some
soda and some potash—together, from I._ =,r
to 3. 3 per cent.—nearly 2 per cent. of phoi-
R hOric-acid. and from 3 to 8 per cent. of sul
phuric acid.. The presence - of these acids,
in 'connection with the alkalies and the lime
and magnesia. give a value to these ashes,
and. in - Mr. Bunce's opinion,would justify
their extensive use for agricultural purposes.

THE MINERS' OURNAL: AND POTTSVILtE GENERAL ADVERTISER.
LIVE INEII3IIAIIOI3
The primary object of Life insurance is to
encourage habits of prudence in individuals,
by enabling them to make provisions for their ,
families after their . death." This object ap
peal's to have beets forgotten by a large pro
portion,of those officers, based upon the Mu
tual plan, which have been chartered and
put into operation within the last few years.
With them the chief object seems to be, to
induce individuals to Insure tbei4lim, with
the prospects of receiving back alarge Dart
of their premitun paid, so as finally to reduce
the premium to a very tow sum. They
hold out to the World that a - policy of Life
Insurance can he obtained, not only by a
very trifling outlay of cash, but with the
infallible addition to the sum insured of a
large per tentage every year after the first.
The consequence has been, that multitudes
of people, anxious' to secure a comfortable
provision to' their families by the.smallest
possible' expenditure, have procured their
Brea 10- be insured by companies who-have
but recently embarked in • the business, but
who guarantee pot only to pay 'the sum
mentioned in the pOlicies, but a profit annu
ally of 40, 50, and even' eighty per 'cent., in
addition to this Sum, whilst they take from
the insurer a small premium, and one half
of that only in cash.
Now •if these ,promises, on the part of
these Insurance Companies, could be redeeiri
ed in the course of years, and the means of
the companies remain unimpared, and in a
condition to meet the increasing liabilities,
which, from the nature of the case, advan
cing years are sureto bring upon them, then
would the conduct of those who are relying
upon thpe brilliant promises be wise, and
in the highest degree prudent. But if, On
the other hand, it should be demonstrated
that these promise's are all fallacious, that
the companies who, persist in making them,
must inevitably become bankurpt in'the pro
cess of years, bow utterly unwise and haz
ardous must such investments appear. •
And it is truly amazing , that a people so
proverbially cautious and calculating as our
,own, should embark so deeply in the busi
ness of Life Insurance, without bestowing
upon it hardly a pas : sing, consideration : that
on the one hand, companies are started under
the management of honest and intelligent
men, with promises such as we have named,
in return for small premiums, but partly
paid in cash ;' and that on the other, vast
numbers can be found who rely upon these
promises, and place the welfare of their
families upon the hope of realizing large
profits in their own lifetimes., and the pay
ment of the sum insured at their deaths.
It is 'amazing, because it is a subject pe
culiarly within the sphere of arithmetic,
where the data are as reliable as those upon I
which the astronomer founds his euktilations,
and the deductions quite as sure. The data
are the Tables of Mortality, on the one hand,
by which, within the nicest approximation
to certainty, the chance of the applicant's
life can be ascertained • and on the other.
the sum which should be paid annually by
the applicant, to enable the insurer to pay
the amount named in the policy, in the event
of his death, which is ascertained by calcu
lating how large a sum anntially during the
ap;ilicant's expected term of life, at compound
:merest, will produce the sum insured by
the policy.
Now, if there was no variation in. the per
centage of deaths on the one hand, and no
expenses incident to the business a deteriora
tion in the money invested on the other, the
amount received by the insurer, placed at
compound interest, would be about equiva
lent to the amount to be paid on the death
of the individuals insured, leaving not a cent
for profit. But there are many circumstan
ces to be considered, affecting both sides of
the account, and in well conducted insti
tutions, leaving the two sides still nearly
equal, but with a preponderance in favor o - f,
the insurer. On the side of the insurer it c
is ascertained that the decrement of life is
not so great as the ordinary tables make it
—that s is to say, not so many .people die out
of a thousand, at a certain age. Among thine '
.vvho'becotne insured, while many policies are
surrendered, or are saffercd to lapse or expire,
by their own limitation before death. These
facts tend of course to increase the fund de
rived from premiums, out of which losses
are to be paid. This fund is diminished on
the other hand, by fosses and expenses inci
dent to the business, embracing all the char
ges, for office hire to the commissions of
agents, and which amount to about 'twenty
per cent, of the prerniums.
Taking even this cursory view of the
subject, it must be evident to every one who
reflects for one
_moment, that but a small
margin can, be left for profits. Sven upon
the presumption that the whole amount of
premium is paid in' cash, and earning com
pound interest. • But calculations have been
made, !akin , ' the most favorable view, and
allowing but.fireper,cent. for expenses, with
a view to ascertain the result where a Com
pany upon the Mutual plan proposed to add
as a dividend two per cent. per annum only to
the amount insured. receiving the whole
prernium.in cash. The lives of 832 persons,
each aged 30 years, were taken: the rate of
premium was 823 GO per $1,000: two per
cent, per annum was added at the expiration
of each five . years ; the result was, (all the
lives becoming ,extinct in due course of na
ture, that in severity years there would be
a defi ) eit of 1.394,24020. If the policies had
been for 85,000 each, instead of 1,000, and
the number of policies 5,200, the total deft
ciencv would have been eleven million, night
hundred and twentr:seren thousand two hun
dred dollars ' (811,827,200,) and the loss
would have fallen upon those who had paid
their premiums through a long ccurse of,
years
What would have been the result, if the
same Company had 'pretended to divide 80,
or even 50 per cent. per - iinnum, and had
received only one halt the premiums i n sash ?
the most active imaginations can hardly con=
ceive.
But beyond this natural and inevitable de
ficiency, many companies that declare divi
dends issue scrip for the,profits, upon which
interest is pa, gable.
The object of these remarks is to arouse
attention to the subject of Life Insurance,
still in its it.fancy in this country, and to
induce the 'public to investigate the basis of
Life Insurance Companies, so as to distin
guish the safe from the. hazardous.
Let it not be understood by these remarks.
that no Life Insurance Company can ever
safely declare a dividend; this is not true.
But let it be understood that no Life Insurance
Company can eversafery . declare a large dui.,
dead, and particularly, in the early years of
its operation, when the per centagre of death
is very small, and the number of its insur
ers very.tlarge, and that it can never safely
declare a dividend, unless it leaves on hand
"a fund for which an office charging equal
rates:could relieve it of its liabilities."
That company is not the best„to insure
in; which offers the largest return in bonuses
and dividends. but that which offers to insure
lives for a fair prerr.ium, and to distribute
among those who insure, the surplus which
really remains after leaving enough to meet
its liabilities for the future. Let the inquiry
among Applimats for insurance be, not w,hat
office insures the cheapest and divides the
most, but what office holds out to the public
the best evidences of stability and good man
agement. ° Such offices ,have no cause to
despond because the number of polities issued
falls far below any Of their youthful com
petitors. A few years will tell the story—a
sad one to many a widowand orphan—when
the hopes of parents' and husbands, who
have sacrificed pleasure and practised set&
denial for the mite of their families, will be
cruelly disappointed by the bankruptcy of in
stitutions whose projectors and managers
were ignorant of the, first principles of the
science of Life insurance, upon Which their
institutions purport to be based.
