ANDES INSURANCE COMPANY.-The j trouble with this company seems to be only with the Superintendent of Insur? ance in Ohio concerning their re insur? ance reserve uuder a recent arbitrary law. We have just seen a letter, dated the 26th September, from its reliable Secretary, J. H. Beattie, Esq., to tho agent of the "Andes" in this city, in which he says: "Wo do not ask parties to cancel their p dimes, and can muke no exception to our usual short rates mode of cancellation. Wo claim thut tho company is solvent. Wo have over a million of dollars cash assets, bat our solvency is a question between the Ohio Superintendent of Insurance und the company. Wo are obeyiug his order to suspend business uuder protest." [Charleston Courier. All persons who aspire to beauty of personal appearance should not neglect that natural accessory, the hair. By mauy it hus been neglected until tho hair has become thin, gray, or entirely fallen off. Messrs. Hall & Co., Nashua, N. H., have produced au effectual reme? dy, called Sicilian Hair Renewer, which cures all diseases of the scalp. This wonderful preparation acts upon the glands, which support aud nourish tho hair, restores grey hair to its original co? lor, makes tho scalp white uud cloan, re? mores aud prevents tho formation of dandruff and all cutaneous eruptions; and. by its tonio and nutritive properties, restores tho scalp to u healthy stute, and creates a new growth. As a dressing, it is unsurpassed, giving thu hair that bril? liancy so much udmired by all. [Boston Commercial. Laucaster had quito a sensation ou Monduy last. Whilo a party of work? men, B?X in number, were engaged in re? novating a house belongiug to Mr. J. Q. Cousart, recently built by Dr. W. J. Willie, the wooden pillars upou which it stood gnvo way, making a complete wreck of tho entire building. Remarka? ble as it may appear, though tho work meu were all inside, nono of them wore seriously hurt. Ooo of the speakers ut tho convention of colored Liberals remarked last Wednesday, that "with tho Administra? tion party the negro is a good subject for promises but not fer their fulfill? ment." Tho history of Grant's admin? istration is a record of brokou pledges, both to whilo and black people. A clever Westerner lately committed suicide by seating himself iu his eusy chair, with his dressing gown aud slip? pers on, aud taking in the contents of the gas-pipo through a rubber tube. Carl Winch, of Grand Chute, Wiss., recently died after living eight weeks with a broken back. Tho lower part of his body was dead, and corruption en? sued long before his death. Henry Bremor, a Norwegian, and a jeweler by trade, blew out his bruin:! with a pistol, in the reading-room of the Youug Men's Christiau Association at Newark, N. J. Since the occupation of Metz, by the German troops thu emigration from that plaoe has boen BO heavy and contiuuous that the population is now said to bo but one-third of what it was beforo the war. A citizen of Wilmington, Del., ninety six years old, who, within tho past year or two; has proposed marriage to over fifty ladies, has been advised by tho Muyor to take a rest. In Dubuque pigeons aro shot down and pluckod in the streets, ducks ure bunted on tho levee, and everybody has the swamp fever. H o it Ao G GREELEY A3 A STATESMAN. Whoo Mr. Greeley was nominated for the Presidency by the Oinoinnati Con? vention, very mauy people wero appre? hensive thut a grave mistake had been committed. They knew that he was u great journalist, but fearod he was want iug in some of the requisites of a states? man. Tho report had gono abroud, und was credited to a certaiu estent by some of hi" friends, that, though a mun of un? doubted ability, his conduct was likely to bo governed too muob by impulse aud too little by prudence ond sober judg? ment. Noirly five mouths have elapsed sinoe that time, and the friends and op? ponents of Mr. Greoley have ulike seen cause to modify their opinion of bim. No unprejudiced man now doubts thut he is a statesman, and that, too, of the first order. His Liberal and Democratic supporters have learned that they can lep?se in him the most implicit confi? dence, and his Radical oppoocnts have found, to their chagrin, that he commits no mistakes. Mr. Greeley's letter accepting the nomination of the Cincinnati Conven? tion was the first of his campaign mas? ter-pieces. He said in it just what he ought to have said, omitting nothing, aud writing not a line or syllable too much. After awhile, he was again nomi? nated by the Democratic party, in their National Convention nt Baltimore; und to that nomination be also replied iu a letter, in which nothing was omitted und to which uothiug could bo added. By ibis limo, Buoh us mistrusted Mr. Gree? ley's prudence and statesmanship had had their minds disabused. They saw that they hud greatly under-estimated him, and appreciated tho fuct that bc was not only a great editor, b?t a great statesniau. Since the publication of these lottere tho Liberal candidate for tho Presidency has furnished still stronger proofs of bit discretion and statesmanship. It is r dangerous thing for a Presidential eau didute to make political speeches, for il is almost impossible to steer betweeu tbt Charybdis that threatens to wreck bia on the ono hand and tho Scylla which it ready to swallow him up on the other. Mr. Greeley, in tho course of his visit to different purts of tho country, hui found himself under tho necessity o making a good many speeches, and it not cue of them hus he committed t mistake or beeu guilty of au i inprudence Every ono of these short (speeches, callei out by the people of the different part of the country through which hu hu traveled, is a master-piece. In ever; one of them he bas said just what h ought to have said, nothing more, nc thing less. Not ono of them but ha made votes for tho Liberal cause. The objections entertained by some t campaign speech-making by a Presider tia! candidate cannot apply to Mr. Gret ley. His brief but most effective speeehc are drawn from him by tho crowds c peoplo assembled to do him honor in th towns and cities through which ho passe ou his tour through the couutry. Hat iug resigned tho editorial charge of th New York Tribune because of his norn nation, Mr. Greeley cannot brook ina? tivity. He has all his life been u hui worker, and now that he is const raine by circumstances of delicacy to abdica tho Tribune tripod, he must have en ploy tuent of some kind. The litt Cbuppaqua farm takes up some of h time and attention, aud hu seeks to el out the rest by attending some of tl expositions and fairs to which he h been iuvited. His journeys to aud fro those places ure mudo by t he peoplo 01 cootinuous ovation. Wo are more than gratified that the speeches have been brought out by tl people. They prove not only that ?J Greeley is u patriot, but a statosmu They provo to everybody that bo c safely be entrusted with thu President ollioe. They prove the wisdom aud i tegrity of the mun. Thore is not ti other mun in America who could ucqi himself so well under the circumstauc There is not another mun in Amen who, similarly situated, oould talk tho people so often aud with such u form wisdom. Tile burden of all Horace G roule speeches is reconciliation and peace, never .forgets that. He uovor forgets impress it upon his audiences that tho sections of tho Union ure equal, t I to insist on the abrogation of every th like proscription. He argues that civil war having terminated moro tl seven years ago, the Southern pee uro entitled to recognition ns cilize with overy right of citizenship. There is a grandness in tho speedie Mr. Greeley that must elicit tho adm tiou of bis enemies. In every ono them ho pleads the oause of uationa and fraternity. Every ono of tl shows that his great heart is yearn for tho perleot reconciliation of sections. Every ono of them is a fei protest aguiust the proscription of American citizen in any American St When this grand old mau declares he would not be a candidate, if I candidacy would affect tho rights of citizen, we aro morally certaiu bo spi the truth. His campaign utterance? tho eloquence of patriotism. Tho pie who listen to his speeches appret that it is so, and v/heuovor tho voie Horace Greoley is heard convorts made to tho Liberal cause. [Louisville Courier-Jour m A New York paper says that tho sti are now in a much eleanor corni than a few weeks ago, and that by 1 ing a handkerchief to ono's nose, possible to pass through sevcrul ol principal thoroughfares.

Lady Burdett Coutts recently gi bishop who was begging for fuut build a church, a blank cheok, ant modest ecclesiastic filled up for $150 Tho Colorea Liberals. Tho National Colored Liberal Conven? tion, nt Louisville, Ky., adopted tho fol? lowing platform, a synopsis of whieh wu8 givon yesterday: Whereas in tho political history of our oouutry, by common oousout of all, equal human rights bas ceased to bo u question ut issuo between the contend? ing political parties, and all citizens ure ussured of equal rights, equal privileges, and equal protection ; nod Whereas the nomination at Cincinnati of the most devoted Republican ever nominated, aud tho adoption of tho most comprehensive und liberal platform ever adopted by tho most exemplary Repub? licans ever ussemblcd together iu this country, is a titting climax to tho solf sacriliciug labors of tho best mou iu the laud for more than a quarter of a cen? tury, aud augurs a brighter and moro peacoful future to our common country; and Whereas it booomes the sacred duty of all citizens, of whatever raco, origin or condition, to contribute toward that gruud consummation which is the end and aim of tho progressive Liberal Re? publican aud Democratic party under the leadership of Horace Greeley and B. Gratz Browu, touding inevitably toward tho unity of tho republic, with equal rights to all and reconciliation; therefore, Resolved by the colored Liberal Re? publicans of the Uuited States, in na? tional convention assembled, at Louis? ville, Ky. : 1. That astcitizens of the re? public, wo hail with joy tho prospect of the burial of all caste, olass, aud sec? tional prejudicos, and forgetfulness aud forgiveness and oblivion of tho past. 2. That our thanks and gratitude are aliko duo to tho Cincinnati and Balti? more Conveutious-to the first, for the adoption of u platform which opeus the channel to tho grand future in which all men will \w known hereafter as Ameri oau citizens and by uo other designation: und to the hitter, tor magnanimously am! patriotically accepting the reBults of om lato internai convulsion, and for miking the grandest strido iu tho iutcrest ol civilization and good government yei made by a political party actuated bj motiven high above any selfish uggrau d./.erneut of mero political advantage. 3. Wo join our political fortunes witl thosu of the pur: v having for its stund ard-beurer that great and good man win has devoted his busy life to attending ti the Bufferings of humanity, und who while a special friend of the Americai slave, has not forgotten the requirement aud wauts of others who, iu tho Provi dence of God, have need of holpfu hands; of thoso who, as instruments o the divine power, are permitted to b with us iu that strugglo upward, whicl makes a civilized aud God-fearing pen pie, iu tho full faith and sanguine hop that all men's rights will thus be assured aud that wo, us a people, will have tn or cause to rejoice that we can forget au forgive the past than any other class o American citizens. 4. We deprecate tho bitterness of th conduct of tho Giant people, aud cour sel our p'opie everywhere, uo matte what their political preference, to us moderation, kindness and Christin charity towards those who differ froi them, aud give moro attcutiou to the material interests and tangible udvai tages of education thau to transitory an bootless political frenzy, which at be has no result but to a low not of the race (jr blood. 5. Wo deplore tho tendency of tl present Administration towards despot centralization, aud demanel that son deliuing lino bo ineradicably fixed whe the powers of tho Gouoral Goverume shall cease and the functions of tho loc governments begin, aud that there sh: be equality of the States iu the Uah as well as equality of mea; that a O vern ment liku ours, administered by ?ingle will, controlling tho policy ai vast patronage of tho States, when t temptation of Kelf-perpetuutioa remair caunot continue a republic except name, aud must, in the eternal lit ness things, culminate in au empire or c gurcby of ollico holders. G. That civil service reform must bot at tho source of all power of abuse official patronage-and that Gnu systi of reform is impossible in the absei of tho one-term principio for tho Pre dent. 7.

Among the speakers, wns a negro, and this fact snems to havo excited the ire of the New York Herald, a journal which long since announced itself as an independent Grant paper. In its oditorial comments on the meeting, the Herald used tho fol? lowing laugnage: "At tho Cooper Institute, yesterday evening, a mass meeting was held by the Graut Republicans, nt which Judge Pierrepont delivered a careful, smooth uud well-poised address, ns a lawyer of his ability might speaking for his party. But whatever party good may have been derived from this speech was thrown away by the appearance of u 'culled geminan* to tell patronizingly what bc knows about tho white vote. Although having given the negroes their freedom, wo aro not quito prepared yet to swallow their dictation us to bow wo ure to cast our ballots. We have a re? spect for tho colored peoplo in their place, und that place is assuredly not as the equals intellectually of tho whites. They cannot turu their leading strings into oratorical whips for ourselves just yet. llayti, which they have had to themselves, is about iu tho nuurchial condition of things which their assump? tion of leadership would mean; and .tithough the bare idea of this is absurd, we object to it even in homeopathic dosos. Wo can, therefore, only wonder ut tho complacency with which the 'culled gemmau' was listened to in the patronage ho extended to his white fel? low-citizens. We can admit, for tho sake of argument, that 'tho colored troops fought nobly,' but wo know it was under white leaders; uud as this seoras to bo about the position they are destined to fill in the approaching elec? tions, it would be something moro to thu point to let their white lenders now do the talking for them also." .. - - FOUL AND FAIR.-Tho acquittal of Laura Fair, by u Sau Francisco jury, points a moral terribly significant for tho times, and udorus with hideous malevo? lence oue of the darkest tales in all the annals of crime. That a jury of men, some of whom are supposed to bo heads of families, should so solemnly give their aauctiou to lawless inroads upon tho peace of tho domestio circle by a baso bounty, and should pronounce ber slaying her victim iu the prosouco of his wife no murder, shows the weakness of human nature and the degeneracy of our system of judicial triais. It virtually offers a premium for blood-crowned prostitution. It saps tho social system, confounds and confines justice with license, blunts tho public conscience and degrades our civilization. Against such monstrous perversions of justice und morals tho indignation of the press, all uvor tho laud, ought to be raised. I Wilmington Star, Wc bear of a poor domonted creaturo in tho North who is trying to put nu end to his days by starving himself to death. If he is in earnest about ibis thing, let him havo himself committed to the Lu? natic Asylum in South Carolina. The Slate authorities guarantee starvation there. - Charlotte Observer, They've just been celebrating the in? dependence of Mexico iu that delightful country, and tho people seemed to enjoy it as heartily as if they know whut it was ull about. Another prominent Pennsylvania Re? publican has "come out from among the foul party," and pronounced emphati? cally for Buckalow and reform. The Hon. EaaiaB Billingfelt, of Lancaster County, for six years State Senator from that district, and one of the most notable men in ti i H party, announced his intention, on Monday'laBt, in the pre Hence of thousands of Republicans, to oppose Hartranft and the infamous ring that forced his nomination upon tho party. A recent decision in England has held responsible for losses, thefts and crimes, parties who give bad servants a good character, and who, upon- the strength of that character, are admitted into other houses, whero they perpetrate thefts, do damage because of intoxica? tion, or commit other crimes. The principle of this deoisicn is a very sound one. Wm. J. West, Esq., of Greenville County, bas beon grau ted a patent for a seed and guano distributer, by the Patent Ofllrto at Washington.
