' Daily, eix months, $4 00; Trl-Wcekly, 3?Cj , .?/-J^ij#a* SoLnisn's P^OT^??^LJ letter received by a gentleman in ?bw York is sent by bira to the Ne^^erkJ World for publication, with the osanr aqoe that "the writor waa an officer o? ' tho United Htai.es army during the late war, and at ita oonolosion settled: ia Sooth Carolina. He is a Northern man and a Republican." The writer says: * ? * ??The difference between.Tweed, and Scott is one only of degree, The' partisan press of tho North, shooting ? some of our miserable, thieving popula tiou get Kn Klnxed, they get.no moro than their deserts. I wonld rather the law wonld punish them, but it won't. Scott pardoned ont sixty oriminala from the penitentiary just before his last elec? tion. What would be said of General Grant, if he placed Illinois under mat tial law because some of the incendia? ricH at the Chicago lire were hung at the first lamp-post? Yet be has pot half this State under martial law for a Ino greater provocation. I. did hope better things of General . Gran t. I waa o yb r a firm believer in him; I was the only white man in thia:Parisb who votj?d' for him; yet I think he has done us a great wrong, probably through bad advisers. It is false that negroes or any others are Ku Klnxed on account of their politics I haye, lived 'here six years, and have even been known politically as a Repub lioanji yet I do not believe I have an enemy in the State on that acconnt ' No, the effect of ? martial law in this seo tio'a ia going to .be bad upon every ma tonal 'interest. The tax-payers believe that it is got up to lengthen out the rule of cormorants and shysters. It appears to me that it will have that effect. I will have nothing to do with pol?tica, saving entering my protest against snob sooondrelaaa ran tho'machino in this , State and with yon. Men whose moral . principio rises no higher than .a faro .able or a house of ilbfame now repre? sent ns in Congress and denizen tho public offices at the capital. One seedy, wretch, whom I knew five years ago to have garments whioh could not protect 1 him in a cooler climate, is now the State | Treasurer;, ho stole in one seosou $100,,-. OOO of bonds, whioh were to buy lands 1 ,\fo> the landless. He is now believed to , be tho owner of 18,000 aerea of land in ! thia vicinity. This is only one instance of their 'onssednes,' as they Bay here. If thora is, justice in history, as I believe, there must bo retributive justice await? ing these vjjjgtos." . THE TrctumjiiE Ku KLUX.-The Even-1 > fag. Post, of Saturday last," published what, purported to be the constitution aha by-laws' of the dreadful Ku Klux Klan, and impressed upon its readers the importance of carefully perusing a document whioh "reveals the whole character of the horriblo organization whi?h Is?onnded on it. " Thus prepared for some halr-ereoting disclosure, we plunged into the portentous print with something of the zestful anticipation, wherewith we were onoe wont to open' one of Mrs. Radcliffe's romances. But, alas! our hopes of "feeling goose-flesh ali .over," like an average Republican, were doomed to disappointment, and we were forced to the conclusion that if the document in question waa really genuine, and not a hoax devised by some waggish correspondent, the famous K. K. K. must be a very tame affair. With the single exception of a death penalty de? creed for members who shall violate their obligations, we fail to find any " thing more heinous than a covertly-ex? pressed dissent from President Grant's political opinions; .and if this be an offence amenable only to martial law,, a goodly nnmber of stannoh Republicans are in danger of losing the privilege of .habeas corpus, .... The "obligation" above referred to reads aa follows: ' "1st. Weare on the side of justice,' humanity and oonstitntional liberty, as bequeathed' io 'us in its purity by Our. forefathers. j Vj:V2cL We oppose and reject the prin? ciples of the Radical party. "3d. We pledge mutual aid to each other in sickness, distress and pecuniary embarrassment. "?th. Females, friends, widows and their households shall ever be special objects of our regard and protection. - "5th. Any member divulging or caus? ing to be divnlged any of the foregoing obligation shall meet the fearful poualty and traitor's doom, which is death, death, death." As far as the plain meaning of words is concerned, there seems to be nothing here but a benevolent association, com? posed of discontented voters. In look? ing through the constitution and by-laws whioh follow we discover that "persons of color" are excluded; that "no person shall be admitted into the order who noes not sustain a good moral character;" and that if a candidate were a .soldier in the late war his rank, "whether in the Federal or Confederate service," must bo stated. All the other olauses refer to matters of internal routino and disci? plino, and are rather to be regarded us infractions of the rules of grammar than of the laws of morals. It is, of course, possible that in any organization foul deeds may be con? cealed under fair words; but if the Post's transcript be really a reproduction of the "Ku Klux constitution," we fail to see in the document itsolf anything moro reprehensible than a rather silly mystery concocted by persons evidently not over? burdened with intelligence or common sense; nothing certainly to warrant the subjection of ai entire commun i ty to the arbitrary will oi a military despot.

'/'Hf:... . >f?. ?VI li I UKADTHK FOLLOWlHOi : ulJ?.*: A lengthened experience has demonstrated that the rates of premium ordinarily charged by life in BU rance companies are from twenty-five to thirty per cunt, in excess of; what a?? ne? cessary for a safe and legitimate conduct of tho business. Tn other words, carefully and prude-utly-iaan&gcd companieso barg in g "mutual" rates have boen able td return* to'their policy-holders from 20 to SO per cent, of the amonbt charged for preminms. .?<.'' i When hfe iUBuranc? companies were first organized; reliability of the data upou which pre? mium? were constructed had not undergone test of experience, lt was thought, therefor?, no more than common prudence ttr adopt apeale of premiums which would, in,any event, ?neel all tho-presumed and unforeseen contingencies of the business. As long as tho matter was involved in nomo doubt, it was better to fix the rate too high than to incur the rink of making it too low; because, in the former ease, the *rror could he easily remedied, at least in part, by returning to the polloy-holdora, at certain intervals, auch portion of the premium charged aa Was found necessary for tho purposes of the business and the complet? security of the company. 1 ; Experience, however, baring satisfactorily demonstrated that these ratos are- excessive, what possible excuse can there be for maintaining them? ' v> ita Availing themselves of this experience, the Directors and Managers of the Universal Lije Insurance Company, at Its organization, adopted A scale of premiums in accordance there? with, and which ha? proved to be fair and adequate, and all that was necessary'to meet the requirements of the business. These premiums are about twenty-five por cent, lower than those cbargo by mutual companeib. QM It also appeared, inasmuch as tho rates so established were as near as could, possibly bo I determined fuir rates, and not in excess of what insurance has previously cost th? policy? holders in mutual companies, that any profits arising from|prudentmaasgfeknent ftrstly and properly belonged to the stockholders of tho company, for the risk incurred by them in undertaking tho business. .J fe&ah Experience has shown that there aro sources of profit in the practice of the business which theory will not admit of being considered as elements in the calculation of tho premiums. These result? form a saving in the mortality of tho members-of a company owing to th'? me? dical aeleot ion of good lives, a gain tn interest on the luvestsaiht s of the company oven that assumed in the calculation of its premiums, the profits derivable from the lapsing and sur? render of policies by the members, and from other minor sources. J atlT Profits from thofeo sources, in a company possessed of a capital of $200,000, apd doing a fair amount of business, would give to the stockholders dividends largely in excees of what -wero counted on by the Directors of the Universal at the time of its Organization. They h av e, therefore, determined to divide among the policy-holders of the company a large pari* of the Broil ts accruing from the sources named, all of which have heretofore been divided among lie stockholders. 1 ' The plan adopted for such division is as follows: Every person who may hereafter insure with tho Universal will, for the purposes of division, be treated as a stockholder to extent nf one annual premium upon his policy; and will share in the profils of-the Company .ioprecUely the same extent as a Btoclcholder owning an equal amount of the Captial Stock. . [rp By this system of insurance, original with tho Universal, tho policy-holder eeonres tho fol wine important advantages: 1. Insurance at the regular''stoak" rates, requiring a primary outlay of about twenty lo thirty per oent. less than that charged by mutual companies, and whian ie equivalent; toja yearly1'dividend" paid in advance of that amount on mutual rates. This low cost o? insur? ance IB worthy of attention. Since its organization, this company baa received ip premiums from ita policy-holders the sum of $1,517,000. To effect the same amount of insurance in a mutual company would have cost them an initial outlay of $2.000,000. By allowing iti? policy? holder s to retain, in their own possession, thi? excess of $483,000, the Universal baa virtually paid them a "dividend" of $483,000. and paid it, too, in advance, instead of at the end of one or more years. It is impossible to find any example cf a mutual company furnishing Insur? ance at so low a cost by returning to policy- holders an equal amount upon similar receipts. 2. Participation in the legitimate profits of the company, upon a plan which secures lo the policy-holders the same treatment whioh directors and stockholders award to themselves. This system of participation, in connect iou with the low "stock" rates of premiums, must necessarily secure to the policy-holders every possible advantage to bo derived from prudent and careful management. The low rates of premium compel economy, and, Independent of participation, guarantee to the policy-holder his insurance at a rate which ?B notin excess of tho cost in waiim?aaged mutual companies- while, by the proposed plan of participation in what may bo considered the legitimate profits of tho business, the cost will be still further diminished. < 'J. bus by the combined advantages arising from low stock rate and participation in profits, it ia confidently behoved the UNIVERSAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY offers insurance at ita lowest practicable cost. A?~Th08e of the existing policy-holders who desire to participate in profits under tho new plan can do so by making application to the head office, or to any agents of tho compauj.
