% THE JOURNAL. I CAMDEN, EKIilU AKY 23,1S71. e South Carolina Kail Road. | During last week, the Stockholders of ' c this road had their annual rueceting in TIip rpnnrt.q of the Presi" I i?ui a oiv>? . A *? -r- ? - _ . ? . ? dent and A ice Precident were satisfhc- j tory, and represented the condition of . the road as very good, and its prospects bright. There was n proposition before them ^ of selling out the assets of the South* c western Rail Road Rank, and applying the proceeds to the liquidation debt of . the Company, which in our opiuion, would bean, advantage to the corpora* j tion, in as much as it is now an iocubus, and as long as the Company is so much involved iu debt, is likely to remain so. There was an attempt made to oust President Magrath, but it was i - J 1 Dipped in tne oua, ana very wtsvjj tuu, j for under his administration, the road has been much ioproved, and its press- ^ ing debts promptly met. The earnings ^ of the Company for the* year were ?1,472,020,59. The expenditures j were 8916,005,82. Leaving net earn- a ings 8532,924,77. j Federal Troops lor L'niou. ' A company of United States troops has been sent to Union Court House, to * stop the ravages of the Ku?Klux>K!ao. e Whipper, Nucklesand Wilkes have 1 taken their departure from" Columbia v to Washington, to inform the Federal c Government of the state of affairs in 1 South Carolina, and ask for troops in accordance with the resolution of the ? House of Representatives. We have never known the introduce s tion of these to serve a good purpose, 6 and we do not believe they wMl prove 1 such a soothing balm this time, for it 8 seems*fo us that the Ku^Klux proceed c with their work regardless of troops or c any other obstacle. A id we arc little c inclined to believe that five hundred or c a thousand desperate men inteut upon X : 1.1 1J ?1 I V uusjuus^, uuuiu ui nuuiu i/c uuruacu, much less stopped by one or two bun- 1 dred men, having nothing at stake, and 1 probably in a measure sympathizing ^ with them. ^ But we arc rejoiced that a regiment 6 or brigade of colored militia was not P i sent to the up-country, because we believe that their presence would have G . only added fuel to the flame, and a general insurrection in the upper Coun- a ties would very probably have resulted. ! d Triumphal Entry into Paris. w The Germans intend to have a tri* umuphal march through Paris, with b colors flying, bands playing and all a balance of the "pride and circumstance ri of glorious war." The Emperor will ? lunch at the Eeole Militaric, thence he is to return to Berlin, where the Crown vv Prince will have his triumphal entry. r( It is thought that there would be a ir revolt among the German troups, un- 0| less they were gratified by their tri- tc ..umphal march. tl Yet bow much better, in all re-* spects would it be, if they would con- u: aent to forego their inteutioo, aud uot u subject a brave hue fallen enemy to f this additional humiliation. But it ^ would be expecting too much of humaD nature, to suppose that it will resist this gratification. We think it is settled that the war will not be resumed, aud - . . , .T we sincerely hope so, in as much as " xce have suffered enough, besides the awful slaughter of human lives which a 0 resumption of the struggle would p necessitate. s< si The Usury Laws. is The wise House of Representatives, ? vote of 76 to 16, passed a Lill j re-establishing the usury laws. It j| now goes to the Senate, where it will n probably meet its death blow. w It sounds very well when one is told ^ that it is the purpose of the bill to t make money worth only 7 per cent per annum, but its passago can no more effect that end, than does the T Decalogue prevent the fracture of its ^ commandments. Our Solons must have had some I TTtoDian dream, which induced them to (] tbink that South Carolina alone, of all ,! the world, by the passage of a statute, ? could make money worth seven per cent, when elsewhere it is worth from b twelve to eighteen, rer annum, and a P vision, which anfolded to their longing Sl gaze, millions of money flowing in to Q A-^- - fVin Stat a. nnrl ]if*p niM. ~ IIIC WUUO VI VMV WM?V| ? u zens at five per cent less than it was b worth to the fools who had loaned it. j' A new and hitherto untaught species of political economy, but it is sure to fail to bring down the "stamps." ti As has often been said, "money is p merchandize, worth what it will bring," ^ and that is more than seven per cent!

AkOvjlU. I consider such an institution as iflective in the ad^wcement of'inttlcctual culture, and intellectual culture a an eminent i'egroe, is beneficial to any immunity. Man, from the cradle to be grave, must be considered as under* ;oing a process of preparation, to tit lim for that "future state" to which it s his duty to seek to attain. What* ver his powers and faculties of mind re, bestowed as they are by the hand if a munificent God, it becomes his luty to leave nothing undone by way of ultivation and improvement. It s this desire for intellectual improve* ncnt that characterizes man, markes lim the superior creation, and thor* ?ughly attests the immortality of his oul. By the cultivation and expansion if his mind to more enlarged concep* ions of the order and beauty of the mivcrse, it becomes a real addition to he sum of his human happines, and n giving him a just appreciation of he attributes of tho Supreme Being, nd acquaints bim with his own high lestiuy. It strengthens his mind, enables iim to to resist temptation, raises it tbove the grosser passions, and elevates iim to the true standard of hisintcls ectual and moral being. We live in a progressive age, ono hat has undoubtedly witnessed the most plendid achievements of miud over natter. We stand as it were, under the vide expanso of heaven, by the bedside >f a world just awakening from ages ofmdisturbed slumber. ?it 11 ? ;? _v:i? onan we remain passive wune me | ;;reat world presses onw*rc| around us?

Bowen's Case in Congress.?The Washington correspondent of the Frovienee Journal says: The narrow escape of Congressman 5owen from conviction of bigamy creates uitc a stir in the House, and there 5 a very strong impression there, as it corns there was on the minds of the ury, that he is not only guilty of ' igamy, but of bribing a man to perjure iinsclf, so that Bowen might escape unishmcnt. There is talk among ome members of the House of an at- , cmpt to expel him from the House, not n the charge of bigamy, but for things rhich he admitted during the trial, 1 ut the session is so short that the sub- 1 set will probably be allowed to pass.

The recent failures of iwo companies in New York?the "Great Western Mutual Life" and the "Farmers' and Mechanics' Life"?have attracted much public attention. ' : . These failures do not surprise reflecting insurance men. The organizatiou of new companies in that city has been of lateyeaKsat the rate of moro than one every two mouths, no les3 than nine having been organized in 1S70. Too many of these enterprises were started- as private speculations, with little or no regard to public utility. The -special end and aim Was to furnish-official position and salaries to men, too ofteu over ambitious, frequently incompetent, and sometimes dishonest. The, in some respects, excellent article you copied a few days since from the Baltimore Sun, is in error in saying that the "Great Western" was one of the "youngest, smallest, and least I successful of its class." It was organ* i ized in 1865. There are nearly tbirty | Companies its "Juniors." At the end of 18')9 only one of its compeers bad outstripped it in the race for business, and it had passed by several of its "Senior?." We do not bclive that any of its three thousand policy holders think it was too *>mall. Neither its youth, size, nor cvan competition (of necessity,) had aught to do with its failure; some of its "J uniors" are remarkably successful, and are conducting their business on sound principles. The failure of the "Great Western" was owing to the inco,vj)elnia/ of its officials. There docs not seem to have been any fraud ou their part. Its tables allowed a loading of 30 per ceut. on net premiums for expense of mauagcinent. In 1869 it expended 50 per cent, of income on this account, and paid on death claims only 11 ? per cent, of income, being less than was paid l?n "Mutual Life, of ^ew York, aud 6 per Cent, less than was paid by the "Equitable on same account, and 4 per cent, less than the average of Companies of its own age. Among its assets 38 per cent, is reported as due from agents, aud nearly the same proportion is rep* resented by "premium notes" and "loans on policies." Among its liabilities SOOjUOO are reported as "duo to agents ou account of commissions."? \\ e have given these details in order to show that its tailurc was not the re* suft of excess of mortality but was owing to mismanagement?mismanagement of such a kind that the merest tyro in business might l^e avoided. The failure of the "Farmers' and Mechanics'" was owing to fraud from beginning to end. The Superintendent of Iusurncc says that n large number of false or fictitious entries were made of polities that were never issued nor eveu applied for. The expenses cf the Company from tho first were enormously large and entirely disproportionate to the business done. In fifteen months SGS,000 were expended for advertising, printing and stationery. Salaries and commissions allowed officers and agents were oa a scale that no young Company could stand. The New York Underwriter, for Dc-1 cembcr, says : "\vo nave otr.er companies wnicn, as respects available means fur rcinsurinir tlicir policies, arc no inure solvent than the "Great Western," and suggests "that all such paper item Companies set their houses in order aud henceforth be prepared with as much realized assets well in hand, as shall be equal to the reinsurance liability." We venture to add that among them the editor would include some of the "old and largo" companies, the writer of the article in the Baltimore Sun to the contrary notwithstanding. We think the article from the Baltimore Sun tends to an unfair discrimination in favor of old as against new companies. As far as unhealthy increase of business in question, the fin is not confined to the doings of the young companies. We give below a tabular statement of losses on the new business of fix leading old and young companies in New York, (omitting names,) compiled from a tabular statement published by the Insurance Times, of New York City, which was made trorn the sworn reports of the companies to the ^lassr.uhufictls Insurauce for 18G7-'8 and 'U.

From the above data, it is evident, that, as a class, the old Companies, with tho advautage of longer experience, did not excel the youug, to say the least, iu the selection of new risks ?aye, more?the conduct of some of the leading old Companies justifies the "New York Underwriter," lor J December, in saying, when speaking of this unhealthy increase of business?"Tho economical, conservative ways that are i ueccssity of the system, are forgotten or defied; even tho old solidity?entrenched offices have been startled from their property." Old companies have some udvantar*.*\a it in f Mm ktif tlintr Tint innwA?./v 111 AO VI UV| UUU VIIK>J VIW UWV IMVHJIjpU* lizo them. They have largo amounts )f assets, but they have corresponding 'labilities. They have large iucomes ^rom interest, but the larger portions of t belongs, an J is returned to, the older members iu dividends, and is not paid ri settlement of claims by death as the 'tutemeuts of some agents would imply, rhey have experience,-but officers of roung companies have abundaut data vithin reach to guide them in a safe lischarge of their duties. Young companies have a great ad% vantage in the rate nf mortality of members, as compared with oid companies. In 1869 the "Mutual Life" of New YorkLost of old busincss..l.0O per ct. or.#l to #100 at risk. . * < s " > Lost of new and old do.*85 " " " 117 at rli?k. Lost of new do 0.13 " " " 763 at risk. The losses of the old business as compared with the new was. therefore, nearly eight times as great. It must be borne in mind, too, that much of the "old business!' referred to above was , secured within the Inst Jew yr.artt. The College of Actuaries, of Eng- 1 land, after careful investigation on this point, st^tc that the advantage of alcarcful selection of lives lasts perceptibly for ten years. In 18(59 orie of the lamest and most successful Companies in New York lost by death 18 per cent, more of iocotne ' than a young Company that canmt claim to bo morn ptvdant. This increase 1 of mortality in old Companies docs not argue weakness. They have made corresponding accumulations to meet these losses. The smaller ratio of mortality in young companies, gives time for accumulation and counter balances their larger ratio of expenses. The only just test of cost of insurance, other things being equal, is the per ceutagc of premium income paid out for losses and expenses. Prudent and well managed young companies do not expend on these accounts a larger per ccntagc of said income, if as large, as companies, and, therefore, furnish as cheap insurance as the old if not cheaper. We do not agree with the Baltimore Sun in saying that disastrous irregularities may be avoided in New York through the Insurance Department ? Wo may differ as to the mean'"'* -r terrna, but th(, fai|?r0"of"a I vompuny claiming to have more than ! half a million of asset?, uyt one fourth of which can be realized, thus disappointing and causing loss to three thousand policy holders, is quite a disastrous irregularity. This it tailed to prevent. We do not doubt that these failuresare very unpleasant things to those who have proclaimed the infallibility of this department. 3 me New York Companies, and their agents, have claimed that this State supervision ga7e absolute protection to persons insuring in New York Companies. This all pro-supposes that - tho Superintendent will nlwajs be honest and sufficiently oramicient to detect any untruthful or incorrect statements made by a company, located one hundred miles or more from Albany. Nay, more, even these good qualities could only (hlrcl not prcxait irregularities. A trust must, therefore, be reposed, and we suggest to those desirous of making investments in life policies to seek | companies whose officers and managers they know to bo men of ability and iategri.y. This is the best security agiinst "irregularities." Feb. 23.?It. Annual Meeting of the South Carolina Railroad and South-western Railroad Eanlr. 'This body convened in the Jlank Hall, in Charleston, on uie iitn, uon. ai> [red Ilugcr, presiding. The Committee on the President ot' the read's report stated that the business of the last year showed an increase, and that it reached its full average hefore the war.
