fg fl FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 29, 1867. Hie Jews and thc Insurance Companies. As a great outcry of persecution has been raised, and been taken np almost unanimously by tho press of the whole land, against certain insurance companies, we print tho following from a reliable abd well informed source, which will both explain the cause of the difficulty, and, at tho samo time, state the case "from thc other side," which, in controversies, should alway be heard : {From the Walt Street Underwriter, Feb. 28.) JKW RISKS.-The Jewish Messenger, a secta? rian paper published in this city, haB lately made a great outcry of persecution, because some In? surance Companies bavo instructed their distant agents to refer Jewish applied-ions for insurance to tho home office before granting policies. That Eaper endeavors to remove tho question from the eld of biifluess expediency to that of religious controversy. . We hope that the catch-penny nature of this ef? fort will be evident to the better doss of Jews, and that they will refuse to make themselves the champions of the itinerant class which it is noto? riously unsafe to insure. Ih this country religious freedom is happily se? cured by the Constitution, and a man may be? lieve or disbelieve whatever he chooses and be "a man for a' that." It is not to be supposed that any class of business men, having largo risks sub? ject to losses from physical and moral causes, will incur such risks blindly. It is their duty to dis? criminate between risks and to avoid such as aro {> roved too hazardous to leave a margin of profit or the capital entrusted to their management. Thus some w?l exclude all factories, others wood? working establishments, others tanneries, others sutlers' property, others transient property in gen? eral terms, others "Jew Risks." The religious meaning of the word Jew does not enter into this designation at all. Every respectable Jew iu the country knows that it docs not mean him, nor condemn his faith; for, in all probability, he is himself insured in one or the other of the compa? nies, who, from time to time, havo given similar instructions concerning "Jew Risks." He knows, therefore, from his own personal experience, that these companies will insure him os a respectable man, without regard to his faith or nationality. What good can accrue to him, therefore, from rushing blindly to the van to fight the battle oi the man of questionable respectability, whose risk is-termed a "Jew Risk ?" Does he not realize that this coarse is the only one likely to bring about the religions discrimination which he deprecates, and which no sane business man would make, un? less compelled in self-defence ? The probability is that he will cancel his policy in one company which, ho fancies, has attacked his religion, and put it into another company which has done tho same thing, only without his being aware of it. We happen to know that this has boen the case in several instances during the last month. If the Jewish Messenger will only recognize the fact that "Jew Risks" is a business term entirely foreign to any question of faith, it w?l gain a pro? per basis for argument. But if it stirs up the pas? sions of good and true JewB against compa? nies who want to examine into the character ol their applicants before granting insurance, it must fail of its object; for the Management complained of gives evidence of circumspection, which will enlist for ijfr patron age among business men fully equal to that whose withdrawal the Jewish Mes? senger may bring about. The term "Jew Risk,' in the insnranc? world, applies to no Jew who has a stake in the community in which he resides, a permanency of residence, and a known respectable name. It does apply to the itinerant venders oi stocks (their only property) so largely released lately from follet lng the lanny as sutlers, con? tractors, speculators, and adventurers. They are uninsurable characters, and any company taking their risks will lose more than it gets. This class embraces many a man who is not, by faith, de? scent, or nationality, a Jew. It is the entire class of mushroom traders, whoso morality is so looso that a fidl in the market is almost sure to bring about a sale to ah Insurance Company. In this light we view the question of Jew Risks, and we cannot see wherein the good J?.w who is insured, csa suffer by the exclusion of this class of risks from the books of the company insuring him. Its policy will secure him all the better ii its coners are not drained by claims for losses on " Jew Risks" as herein defined. In conclusion, wo question the morality ol basing a public discussion upon a private circular, the privileged communication between principal and agent, and still more that of dragging into the controversy, as has been done, copies of writ? ten letters apply in g to a s nagle case, where it was deemed more expedient to refuse any exceptions than to give the reasons why the exceptions de? sired could not be allowed. JCODBT.-The Spring term of the Court of Com? mon Pleas and General Sessions, for Newberry, closed Saturday hist. An unusual amount of busi? ness was transacted, yet much remains undone ix the sum pro docket; continued to next session. Ic the casie of I. Nance, for tho killing of Stokes, thc Jury returned a verdict of manslaughter; the sen? tence of Court was twelve months' imprisonment, and $200 fine. Judge, Dawkins' address to the prisoner, before ps seing sentence, was full ol good advice. The Judge presided with great dignity, wisdom and courtesy, and, with the Solicitor, worked vig? orously to clear the dockets.-Ibid. COMMEECIAL. Exporta for the Week ending Thursday Marett ?8.

The offerings were sufficient to meet ordinary re? quirements, and those factors who uncovered their tables seemed quite anxious to sell, and were evidently disposed to entertain offers below tho ruling rates, but the greater portion of the buyers, in view of the unfavorable posi? tion of the leading markets, both foreign and domestic, as well az the increased depression attending gold and exchange, were averse to operating, preferring to await tho receipt o: later intelligence. Under these circum? stances thc sales were restricted, summing up barely 2,750 bales, mostly intended for the fitting up of unexe? cuted orders. Fourteen brokera participated in the busi? ness. Prices disclosed an easier feehng, but not a quota? ble decline.
