No Interest connected -with tlie whole qaclliun of pulilicul economy vilully con cerning the American people ia more Im portant Ilian that of life insurance, ami there ia perlmpa none so little understood, although its agcnl* are almost omnipreaeut. Men insure their merchandise and their house* that may lie destroyed by fire, uud too largaly ueglect to provide lor a loss that is sure to come, at no distant day, by death. Hut this uiny be explained upon various grounds, prominent among which are ignorance of the beneficent lustltutlou and prejudice concerning it. Indeed grave errors have been committed by too many companies iu selecting tbelr agents, who have not been scrupulous iu their represen tations, which lias Imd a tendency to bring the system into contempt; and then agaiu, some companies have thrown dis trust open the system try viissslation and deception, k case iu point tins recently occurred, wherein a company lias at tempted to lower its standard of rates to new applicants, Urn*causing wide spiaad dissatisfaction with old policy holders, whose patrouago built up the company to aolossal proportions. Aaotlicr case in point that has attracted our attention, which we find detailed in n recant issue fa Savannah paper, which we copy, without giving the name of the company, vix On the 31st of Doccmbar. IHtiH. Mr. Will. Morrell, an old resident of Havannab, but a poor man, took out a policy of iusu ranee on his lifer for SS,()UO in favor of Ills wife anil children upon the half note plan. On Hie .’list of August he died, haviug paid only four full snunal premi ums. umounliiig 111 sll to $ 1,-Kilt 40—0110 ball - of which, tliHt ia #757 40 was paid in cash, and for the remainder, or $772, the Company held his notes, payable w ith inletest at the rato of li per cent. The proofs of loss were promptly made nod on the l.'lth of September, less than two weeks after Mr, Morrell’s death, notice was received from the home otllce Hint the proof* had been accepted, and the loss was payable according to the conditions of the policy. One noticeable feature in the settlement to which we refer Is this, that the four notci given by Morrell in part juiyintiil of hie premiumi or re not deducted from the amount of hie ineiirnner. and the tamed elaries under hit policy were consequently butter oil by $732 than they would have been bad lie I wen insured on all cash plan, or In any other company tlfHng bnal iichs on the half note plan. The special point, that will not full to attract jHilic attention in the foregoing, is tho statement that fhi amount due on the premium noire of the allured teat not e.r acted by the Company. The question will naturally arise . if the Company does net require pry meat, why does she luke such notes V A suspicion arises that such ac tion, in the case detailed, is but an “ adver tising dodge " to get business, unworthy any honorable well conducted Company— s special charily conferred In a s|ns-ifie case, and by no means general. Such acts arc likely to create distrust, and injure a meritorious cause. We sure for no individual company, hut we do care fora system fraught with so much be uellcence that it should be administered with Iho utmost uniformity mid fidelity, tbne scouting a confidence without which it becomes wholly worthless We may have more lo say on this subject.

Jeff. Long, in a recent speech at Macon, reported Mr. Stephens as having said to him, at an interview, "You colored men have nothing to do but keep quiet. The white men all want office. Let them alone, and in a little while they will be fighting among themselves. Then will be your chance—slip in.” —Savannah ltepubUr.an. There is about as much truth iu the above “report” as in most of the other “interviewer's reports”. about the sayings and doings of “Mr. Stephens,” going the rounds of some of the papers just now. We can hardly suppose that “Jeff. Long” ever made such a statement as that here attributed to him, for “Mr. Stephens" has not seen him since the war, nndj it would be [straining probability a little too far even to suppose that he would have so ex pressed himself before that period.
