The following are the leadiDg points of the platform
adopted by the Democratic State Convention:
After the usual preliminaries, the Convention con
gratulates the people on the repeal of many of the
odious and oppressive acts passed by the Republican
Legislature. They proclaim that, when the Demo
cratic party comes into power, they will administer
the government in the interest of and for the benefit
of the whole people, and not of party end, Howeverso-
o much they heve been provoked to hostile and re-
talitory measures by outrages committed on them by
Republicans and State government. It will be a part
of the great mission to rise superior to their just re.
sentments and restore the government in such man
ner that every citizen of whatever politics, religion
nationality or color shall feel he is really protected
in his life, liberty and property; that the Democratic
party affirms the past opinions and policy
it has ever pursued; that it is bound
n duty of State to maintain an efficient
system of common schools, and to insure means to
secure a common education to every child in the State ;
and thatffvery adopted citizen may enter into the spir*

There was no abatement in the excitement until near

Mutual Insurance.
Marietta, Ga., Sept. 5. 1873.
To the Editors of thf. Herald:
The remark is often made, what a pecuni
ary blessing it would be to our State, to have
ten such insurance companies as the South
ern Mutual Insurance Company, to undertake
the insurance risks of the State, where our
people could effect their insurances at a mini
mum point of cost, and save to the State tbe
large amount of money which is now being
sent out of it, to pay for such protection.
Such desirable companies can be ’easily
formed and put into active operations if our
people would co-operate in organizing them.
Adopt .the plan of the early friends of the
Southern Mutual Insurance Company, and
similar companies may soon be organized to
realize the wish so often expressed, and be
stow upon the State tbe benefits and inde
pendence of a sufficient number of insurance
companies to undertake all the insurance
risks of our Stole.
A mutual insurance company can be made
sufficiently strong from its commencement,
to provide for all ordinary losses, If it com
mences with a sufficient number of polices in
moderate amounts and prudently distributed
at current rates of premiums. The income
of tbe company would be more than doable
the amount of its probable losses; and thus
afford it ample means to pay all ordinary
losses, and a large surplus to return as profits
to the assured, or to add to its strength for
more extended operations.
The Southern Mutual Insurance Company
has practically demonstrated the soundness
of such anticipations. Twenty-five years ago
it commenced its existence without any other
means to meet its losses than its incoming
premiums. It has promptly and liberally
paid all of its losses, returned large profits to
the assured, and accumulated assets exceed
ing $500,000.
Daring the last four years its losses have
not exceeded 20 per cent, ot its premiums—
from 1801 to the present time its losses have
not been 30 per cent, of its premiums; and
during ito twenty-five years of business opera
tions its average losses have been less than 35
per cent, of its premiums—thus showing that
the rates of insurance premiums cbarged|in
our State have been much in excess of the
degree of hazard; and by virtue of its mutual
feature, the excess returned as profit to the
assured, and been an efficient agent in saving
the money of the State.
What has been done so successfully by the
Southern Mutual Insurance Company may be
done by other similar organizations. Why
not put into existence many more such com
panies? Have wo not other business men,
equally energetic, prudent, and enterprising,
as those few who so successfully organ
ized and gave life to the Southern
Mutual Insurance Company ? If such talents
and ability be limited to the citizens of
Athens, then, for the good of the State, let
the additional mutual companies be located
there, and placed under the contract of its
wise men, to secure their success.
In Marietta a similar mutual insurance
company (the Mutual Protection Insurance
Company) has been organized and in opera
tion for a year past, prudently progressing
and accumulating strength, and now return
ing to tho assured fifty per cent, profits on its
past year’s business. Why not organize a
similar company in your enterprising city?
If suitable persons for its managers cannot
be obtained among your own citizens, invite
such from Athens to undertake its direction.

of law as will protect the people against oppressive
and unreasonable action until each section of such
State has its equal proportion of roads. They are op
posed to granting money subsidies by a State to build
ing railroads as unequal in the distribution of benefits

tion denounces as false and slanderous, the imputa
tion sought to be attached to the State of Texas by her
enemies, that ahe contemplates the repudiation of any
of her legal liabilities. That the situation and the
sufferings of our frontiersmen and their families are
deplorable and demand our sincere sympathy; and
that the meet earnest exertion of the Democratic par
ty will be used to secure their speedy and adequate
protection in the future, believing j this to be para

resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Resolved, that we deprecate the action of
denouncing of members of Congress who co-operated
with the Republican majority, and President Grant in
the passage of the back salary bill. The resolution pas

H. J. Byron, the English dramatist, was in

charades to be given for the entertainment c f
a large number of fashionable people. Byron
waa announced as third on the programme,
but when the first act was over it was discov
ered that he had as yet made no preparation
for his part of the show. Byron started out
of the room to look something up. He pro
ceeded to the nursery, where he found a
child’s rocking horse, made of pine wood, or,
as the English call it, deal. This he ordered
to be taken down stairs and placed on the
stage, immediately behind the curtain, as the
second piece was already over. When the
curtain was rung up he was seen standing be
hind the horse iu an attitude that would have
done credit to a circus master. “ Ladies aud
gentlemen,” said he, pointing to the horse,
“this represents ore of the islands in the
Greek archipelago* Del-os.” Then the curtain
came down amid the applause of tho audience.
But this was not all. The curtain went up
again, and Byron, stepping forward, said:

Yesterday, while on a tour of inspection through
the city, we noticed the vaults and safes placed in
the new express office by the Hall Safe
and Lock Compauy, of Cincinnati. In tho express
office the entire;vuult is built by this company. The
lining of them is made of half inch plates of
wrought iron, placed together so nicely as
to confine steam. Both doors are modo of
iron, of course, and are fastened by Hall
combination lock. The safe for the Interior of the
vault* are supplied by the tame company. Mr. Bcheet,
their agent here, has recently placed a safe iu Messrs.
Lowry & Co.’s lank vault, aud supplied the door for
the cam^. The following is some of the excellencies
of this safe we will speak of:

for safety and strength, among which are the dove-
tailing of the corners at each successive plate into
each other, thereby securing great strength. Tho
