members-the damages from such bands
payable by the Counties wherein the

cussed for three hours in caucus. There
is strong opposition to both the military
and judicial features of tho bill in tho
Senate caucus, whioh adjourned to 10
o'clock to-morrow, without action. Tho
House caucus meets to-night to consider
tho report. It is believed thc Senate
caucus will order the bill to bo put
upon its passage without material modi?
fication.

Ii is a PURELY MUTUAL COMPANY, ma?
naged entirely in the intercuts of its Policy

It is a strictly CASn Company, avoiding
tho CREDIT system which is at host expen?
sive, complicated, and often deceptive, and is
being abandoned by the best Companies in
tho North. "IT 18 SIMPLY TRADING IN
MONEY, AND DOES NOT INVOLVE ANY
ASSURANCE PRINCIPLE."
Tho solvency of a Company docs not de?
pend on tho amonnt of its Aesote, but on the
PROPORTION or Assets to Liabilities, and
on the character of its Assets.
Tho following table is based on tho "real

below cost. Thc investment waa compulsory.
Prudence in tho selection of risks is an?
other test of good management. ThosucccsB
of tho Tobey Holders' can be best shown by a

lighter mortality, (ao much the better for it,)
tho following is submitted, to which no such
objection can be made.

Thc large incomes received from interest
by old Companies belongs and is apportioned
to tho older policies, and is not used in pay?
ment of death claims; therefore, the only just
teat of "cost of insurance" is the per ccntage
of premium iucomo paid out in settlement of
"doath claims and expenses."
