The officers of the leading Life insurance Companies of New York have petitioned the Legislature of that.-Stoic" .tp1 remove , .th* restriction that prohibits ?hera ^ from loaning monev ou real ?state outside of the .city of New York or' fifty miles beyond it. The reasons. they bring* forward for the removal of this prohibition are good ones, I and suggest a-few facts for our own con sideration,. They are: 1. Because it does not in any respect iu . crease ? the securities of the- companies, and investments ?an now be made in real estate of unquestionable value in other States, and such investments yield a larger per centage of. interest than they do in . New York. - <. 2. Because the insurance companies of New York derive the largest-proportion cf their business from other- States, espe cially from the West and. South, .and-the citizens of the latter sections are justly offended because the New York compa nies do not loan on their real estate'a aol lar of the millic/is annually drc?wrt from the policy holders of. their sections; . V' \ ? 3. Beoaus?^opd..eerurit?esi^-New. York, .'in proprotion, to capital, grow scarcer, eve ry year ; and as they grow more difficult and impossible to "obtain, the insurance compauies of that State will be compelled to imest-their capital and surplus in in [ferior and Uss pro fitable securities, or al low both to remain idle and unproductive. .! A. Because it robs New; York compa I nies cf the. hundreds of thousands of dol j lars annually which .they ought to receive I hom excellent investments elsewhere at a I higher rate of interest and deprives the j citizens of their States of the means they need for developing the resources of their country. ? This petition was signed by the officers j of twelve of the leading companies of New j York-, but was not granted The Legisla I ture of New York appreciates the auvan ' tage bf keeping and investing ali their J money at home, and of bringing all they I can from other sections; hence they make j the life insurance companies chartered by ? that State one of the means of concentra ! ling capital in New York. Even these j couipanies to their disadvantage, have to j invest their capital and surplus in inferior j and unprofitable securities, and at a lower I rate of iuterest. as stated in the above pc ! tition. ; This being a true statement cf the case, ! Southern men. or those interested in the ! development of thu South, what compa j nies should you patronize? Would it not j be to.your interest, to the.interest of your ; section of country, to insure with compa ! nu-s located in the South, making their m j vestments'South, among the people from i which their money is obtained, and get the ? benefits of larger dividends, which are sure j to result from the higher rates of interest' : obtained by home companies? This seems to us thconlv practicafconclusion at which the people of tue. South can arrive. Grant Pardons Bowen. President Grant on thc 1st inst., issued the following proclamation, viz: Ulysses S.

This outrage wti committed1 OD the night of the 30th i'?he; at the "residence of Mr. Harrison Scott; who is one of our best citizens, and who resides in the Western portion of the. County, near Mt. Gallagher post office. . Al tiie time, Mr. Scott was absent on . lU.ainess, having gone to Honea Path for ibo purpose of selfing cotton. About 1 o'clock on the hight mention - jj, a band of negroes, supposed to- be .jome ten or twelve bi number, rtime to 'iis premises, and first made an attack Apon the store-room, m which a little boy .vas sleeping. The little fellow, becoming frightened, ran out, and was fired upon, but ortunately escaped without injury. They hen made an attack upon the dwelling louse, in which they found Mrs. Scott, her wo children and her motlier. Her moth .r fled from the house, ami was fired upon vithout effect. Entering, they demanded abney of Mrs. Scott,'or information as to he place in which it was kept. Mrs. Scott refusing to tell, they proceeded to search ?ic room, breaking in pieces ? splendid rurcau and smashing things generally, unid oaths and all manner of foul lan guage. Failing .in their search, they re al ned to Mrs. Scott,'dragged her from her ..ed by the hair of her head, fired pistols around her person, arid finally presented them at her bosom and swore, that she .mist either tell or die. She was still firm. They then carried her daught r . brough the same ordeal, with like result. Seizing upon a little son. they held him up by thc hair of the head and swore if he ?lid not tell them where they could find the money they would cut his throat from ear to ear. In his fright the chiid refer red them to a certain trunk, where they bund and took some $300 in gold -.and diver-mostly gold. All this was done amid the most horrid oaths and abusive language. After this the band returned to the storeroom", where they obtained some $20 more, and were only prevented from sacking it by the gathering of the neighbors, who had been awakened by the firing and the shouting to the distance of a mile or more.

The latter who detest and abhor English rule, very naturally abhor and detest also the Orangemen. To-day, Wednesday 12th, is ?u anni versary day with tho Orangemen, and in New York, Newark, Trenton, they, have made great preparations for a grand parade and partisan demonstration. Buf so bitter is tho* feeling between them abd the Hibernian Societies, and sb apparent are th"^ portabilities of bloody" strife be tween the two barties, that the municipal - authorities of New York have absolutely forbidden the Orangemen to parade on the 12th, nrtd have-ordered the militia to be in readiness to suppress outbreaks., This has created' immense excitement and indignation. Party spirit is running high, and universal apprehension exists that the day may not pass off without serious destruction to life and property. Gen. Hancock. Lho Boston Post says : " The Cameron and Geary factions in Pennsylvania are I contending fiercely ' for the control of the party in the State, with the-chances in fiyvqr of Cemeron.

Circular of the Grand Worthy Patri arch read at the installation of officers, at Charleston, oil Monday night last: It must bo apparent to every ob server that intemperance prevails to an Lalarriiing extent in this State; that the war and the troubles since, have driven thousands of our people of good habits before, to seek relief from their misfor tunes in intoxicating beverages, and it Ls to Be feared that dissipation is, even now, on the inerca.se in our beloved old State. ] Boforo the war, tho temperance cause '?as popular iu South Carolina.

It HComs that the cotton interests or Brazil are on the decline. While the ex port of this staple from Rio Janeiro in 1868 amounted to 113,465 bales, they were in 1869 only 45,005 balos--un enormous faRing'bff- which was farther reduced in 1870, when the exports from that port WLfo only 17,910 (Brazilian) balos. The exports of cotton from Santios during last year were 2?3.72T arrobas, equal to about 18,180 bales? ot 400 pounds, which; added to the 17>910 bales from Rio, makes a total export of cotton from Brazil for 1879, of 36,190.

WILMINGTON, .Inly ll.-A fearful butchery was perpetrated in Robeson county yesterday afternoon by Henry Beifry Lowry and -n band of negro .out laws. A sheriff's posse having in charg? l?owry's wife and' several others, who have been aiding?rid abetting thc out laws, was ambuscaded near Buis* store, on the Wilmington, Charlotte and Ruth erford Railroad, and the following of thc sheriffs posse were killed : Hector Mc Millan, Archibald? Brown and Hector McNeill. Wounded : D. McCormick, Berry Bames and James Lowry, the lat ter a colored man-, and-cousin of the out law LowryV but co-operating with the shcriff'8Po.M??. The fight resolved itseli into a regular battle; which lasted for some time. The sheriff's posse fought well, evc'n'followingthe outlaws in thc recesses of a swamp, but it is not certain ly known that any outlaws were killed. Lowry, leader* of the outlaws, and Capt. F. M. Wishart, hada regular duel on the railroad track, each loading and firing deliberately ?ve or six times, bul neither was wounded. The wbolo coun ty of Robeson is at last fully aroused, and it is believed a ' campaign will now be inaugurated that will result in exter mination of the outlaws. A committee of citizens of Robeson county came tc this city to day, to'secure arms and am munition. Every member of tho Lowry band is a negro. ^ ?Sr At Washington, on the 8th, Judge R. B. Carpenter,"o*f Charleston, was five honrs before the Kn Klux Committee. There had been Ku Klux outrages in various parts of the State-not, however, originating from hostility to the Fedoral Government, but the natural outbreak ol men who had no redress throughout the forms and administration of the law. Tho Government'Of the State is defective .in capacity in all its departments and venal ; it had increased tho debt ?11,000, OOOj without constructing a mile of rail road, a foot, of canal, or a school-house. When a candidate for Governor last year, ho visited every County in the State, but never heard a man utter a word against the Federal Government. Tho opposi tion was to the corrupt and mal-adminis tration of the State Government. Mem bers of the Loyal Langue committed outrages, such as murders and burning gin-houses, before there were Ku Klux organization's. The. people submitted quietly for two years, until .they found they had no redress through elections of law. The. Ku Klux wa?* composed-pf men of high respectability, organized far redress and protection. . Judge (.'arpen ter, how?ver/xlid not endorse the organi zation*.
