Bank Presidents with far less work and respon sibility, get from 5 to 15 per cent, orj tbeir capital stock, as their annual ' salaries. The trouble with the most fof the Compa nies Jias been owing to I the shrinkage of values in real estate in which they bad invested. The Insurance Companies rank next to the Grange in the bonesly of tbeir agents and' employees. There have been in some other lines of business five defal cations or thefts to one in Insurance. Just now there is an outcry arising from ignor ance and prejudice, but that will soon be silent The Spectator , reports the dis bursements by the companies belonging to the Chamber Life Insurance to have been $57,325 ,477.66 between Jthe first of April,' 1874, and the 1st of January, "1876, (34 months.) Whocan estimate the re lief tbna afforded to widows and orphans, who would otherwise have been destitute? WENDELL PHILLIPS ON THE B. CABINET. B. The Hew York Observer replies to an article in a Southern paper . (name : not given) and criticises it pretty severely for recommending the Southern Presbyterian Church to "preserve the separation" from the Northern Church. We give an ex tract : "We are quite prepared -for the indig nant condemnation of our suggestion, which will be uttered by men in sympa thy with this writer. To them we are not peaking. But we are addressing many, in every one of the Southern States, who are heartily in favor of restoring the friendship and co operation of former days : who desire to see the Church of God united, and her members, North . and South, working together as in days of old, for the peace and prosperity of our com mon heritage. "There is now no reason which God and good men can approve, why fraternal re lations should not be enjoyed between the Churches of the North and South. Every atone of stumbling and rock of offence have been removed on both sides, and the two Assemblies have cordially agreed and declared, in regard to the past, 'that no acts or deliverances are to be construed or admitted as impugning in any way the Christian character of the other Assembly, or the Assemblies of which it is the suc cessor.' . "Since that declaration was made in good faith on both sides, great events have oc curred in our national history. After a fearful political straggle and months of intense auxiety as to the peace of the country, we have seen, what it was scarce ly expected this generation would ". see, a Conlederate soldier installed as one of the confidential advisers in a .Republican Ad ministration of the the government of the United States. This unexpected step is taken by the President as a pledge of bis purpose to pursue a policy of pacification and union toward the South, and restore the gofernment to the broad, national and united platform it occupied before the war. Such a spirit should be reciprocated first of all by the Christian people of the South. If it be the first step, let it be made the most of. At any rate, let us all, North and South, admit, as we must, that the war is over, and the time of peace has come. Let us bury our old grievances, nd, in the spirit of Christian magnanimi ty, let bygones be bygones, while we are all fellow-citizens and brethren. Bow, very different is the spirit and purpose of the writer whose proposition has been made the text of these remarks. He asks . the Southern churches to 'preserve the separation,' end especially 'sgaicBt our former associates.' "Brethren of the North and the South, that is not the spirit of Christ. It is not the spirit of the South; it is cot the spirit of the North. It is cot the spirit of. pa triotism. It is cot the spirit which is to make the Church and the . Conntry united and prosperous and happy. And we be ' seech you, in behalf of our common heri tageand for the future of immortal souls, to put away such counsels, and act in this matter not in the fear of ; man, but in the love and spirit of the MaBter. If states men have established fraternal relations, shall Christian ministers and people pre serve the separation ? If the country is one, God forbid . that the Church should be divided." This ia gushy and tender, but it occure to an old rebel that this "separation" is about the only thing that we ' can "pre serve." We tried to establish a little Re public of our own in 1S61, but the very men that are so loving now called us then rebels,'! "bereticsV "blasphemers," &c.l . Ac. They took Government contracts for themselves and sent Foreign troops to slaughter the flower of our youth, burn our houses and desolate our fields. So we" failed to preserve our little Republic. Then we tried to make bread and meat for our better-halves and the dear little ones at home. But our dear, gushing lovers of to day put the carpet bagger, the negro and the low white to rule over us and these loyalists robbed us of . all that we could make. We failed to "preserve" our bard earnings. Then we tried to get the carpet-baggers sent home and the ne groes and low whites remanded to obscu rity. Bat Grant "prt served" the status quo with his soldiers and the K B Presi dent seems disposed to do the same thing. " ' We elected our President by a million of white votes, but Joe Bradley would not let us " preserve" him. ' We trust that the Presbyterians of the Scnth will "preserve the separation" as being the only thirg that they have been allowed hitherto to preserve. It is plain that the Observer Icoks upon "fraternal relations' as but the first step towards or ganic onion. The French have a proverb: "It is the first step which coats." If that first fraternal step be taken, the march to union will soon follow. Let us "preserve the separation' until we get a military order for organic union. ' This vile old Abolitionist delivered a lecture at Music Hall, Philadelphia, on last Monday night. The B.ble.hating malignant ia very smart in the Yankee sense, t.e. be U shrewd, cunning, caus tic and a thorough master of k rhetoric But he has no depth of thought, no broad statesmanship, no genuine pbilan throphy. He is narrow-minded, bigoted, prejudiced and hates the Southern people almost m bad as be bates the Bible? 'Bat bis lectures are always rich and racy. The extracts below are in his happiest rein; HaYXS kHT HIS SLAVE-HOUND CABIN IT. Hayes' Cabinet reminds toe of a story of Turner, the English painter. He bad hong up at the Exhibition a painting subdued in color. As be studied it on the wall the canvass seemed to fade out of sight in the presence of its bright rivals. After gazing awhile Turner flung a drop of bright red on the centre of bis piece, and the picture glowed into startliog ef "feet. So I can see Hayes gathering bis Cabinet. There is Sherman, who will leave a name linked to no measure or idea his only record that he entered Congress poor and leaves it rich. Evarts reminds one of the Protestant riots in London, when men chalked on their closed shutters "no popery,'' to conciliate the mob. One timid citizen, anxious to stand well with both sides, chalks up ' no religion," 'Amid this death grapple be tween Caste and the Declaration of Inde pendence, Erarts writes on bis flig "No principles." Then comes Sctiurz, the Swiss soldier, always to let. Hayes gazed at the colorless piece, which was bard'y visible. Suddenly be remembers Slave- hound Devens the low monotony of whose life rose only once into noticeable infamy, when, with his own hands, he put chains on Thomas Sims and dragged him down State street. Hayes flung that blood-red drop on the canvass, and, be hold I it grows immortal the slave hound Cabinet 1 Perhaps you will sty Devens sinned long ago ; so did Judas Iscariot. And Judas besides repented and hung himself. If Devens bad done that Judas would have no right to resent the comparison. Bat in spite of repent ance, and after 1,800 years, I hear of no proposal to add a St Judas to Mark, Luko and John. ' Ho years oan Bweeten a slave catcher any more than the whole ocean could cleanse Lady Macbetb's bloody hand. I can-forgive Foote and Long street ; O'Conor, who voted for slavery ; yes, and Lincoln, who helped to extend the area of slave hunting ; for I remem ber where all of them lived and were born. Bat the being base enough actual ly, with his own hands, to crush back in to slavery the hero who proved his title and fitness for freedom by the courage of flight such a hound has, in this world, no forgiveness. It is not safe, consider ing the moral training of the world, to risk forgiving such a one. A Massachu setts man, in the fall blbZ9 of anti slavery truth, in the city of Cbanniog, Parker and Garrison, to volunteer at slave catch ing! Such a bound should ever after be hidden in privacy and hermitage ; be has no right to obtrude himself on the disgust of mankind. " Jfcancy him entering toe Cabinet chamber I Sherman, ' never an abclitionist. neither knows cor careB about bis history. Evarts receives him with the suave indifference of one who is "everything by turns and nothing long." Schoiz has neither brain nor heart mean Returning Bjard. So the initials of W A Wheeler have been supposed to Sig nify Willing Accomplice. Bat it will be remembered that this same W A Wheeler, few years ago, denounced the Louisiana Returning B jard as a fraud and recom mended its abolishment upon the very ground that the election of a President of the United States might depend upon it. Now this man takes the second office in the nation upon the award of this villain ous Board. Such a political somersault has seldom been witnessed in " any age. or country, and Wheeler's ground and, lofty tumbling appeals to justify ' the applica tion of the Wonderful Acrobat to him. W A Wheeler alias Wonderful Acrobat Wheeler, so let bim be known. VNREFOBMED THIEF? D H Chamberlain baa published his let ter to Hon Stanley Matthews in reply to the request to him to pack his carpet-bag and go back to Buzzard's Bay. Chamber lain expresses a sweet willingness to-be a martyr for the good of the party, but bis honor compels him to remaia, &o.t &c. He says that bis life has been in danger for the last five months, both by day and by night All decent people in South Caro lina believe that Chamberlain ought to be in the Penitentiary, but the the State has made his life as lumbia as at Bazzard's Bay. Edgefield where the supposed to be, and chivalry oi safe in Co He went to dangerous boys are there made a . free speech, saying whatever he pleased.! He was escorted to and from the depot by the best citizens of the State. The boys gath ered round bim, asked for a shake of bis loyal band, expressed the wish that his journey might be safe. Some of the most enthusiastic of them asked the bald bead ed carpet-bagger fbF a lock Of hair from the top of his head. He came unmolested and he went away unmolested from the home of the "Hamburg Horror." D H Chamberlain knowingly wrote a falsehood when he said that bis life had been in danger for the last five months. The people of South Carolina do not wish to put. a rope around his neck, on the con trary, they want him to live that they may put striped breeches oh his legs. North Carolina Hews.

Even C P Leslie's stomach is turned by the rascally designs and false and foolish statements of the Chamberlain committee now in Washington. Io a letter to tbe Republican, of the 19 th, he admits mat the Republicans lost tbe . late battle for the State government. He maintains that they are bound to withdraw imme diately from a position tbat aggravates the misfortunes of tbe people. He refers to the offer of the committee made to the President that "if the administration would recogniza Chamberlain as Gover nor, they could recognise tbe Republican party in South Carolina and will win the next two years hence, as all sawdust and delusion. For once Leslie talks sense, and at least ia good authority against his late wicked partners. He is far from en couraging thia fooli&h enterprise. He says: Reorganize the party with whom ? Democrats? No Democrat of any in fluence would dare enter into such a scheme. And tbe full Republican vote was polled at the late election. A care ful examination of this novel proposition thrust upon tbe President would disolose tbe whole secret of this committee insist ing upon tbe recognition of Chamberlain. There is only one way tbe Republicans can carry the next State election. That is let the administration recognize Cham berlain as Governor, and begin war at once, and keep it up until the -Hampton party are annihilated ; then tbe .Republi cans can, if there are any left, carry the next election. Winnsboro News items: Governor Hampton bas granted a pardon to David liordon, who was undergoing sentence for the crime of assault and battery with intent to kill, of which he was found guilty at the January term of the circuit court, and for which he was sentenced to three moritbs' imprisonment in the coun ty jaiL The pardon was granted ou tbe petition of the prisoner's attorney, ac companied with a physician's certificate tnat toe prisoner s health was such that farther confinement would result serious ly if not fatally. The document was 6erved upon Sheriff Buff on Thursday, and Gordon was at once discharged from CttftMdy., - Hezskiah Sims and several other colored men have recently paid their Hampton contribution,; New is a good lime for all the colored people to come lor w aid and join tbe strong side. They bad better leave Chamberlain before Hayes lets him drop. It will be much better for them to acknowledge Hampton. Tbey need not be Democrats to do this. Just as Democrats in 1871 acknowledged that Chamberlain defeated Greene, so Republicans now sacrifice no party prin-1 cipio by acknowledging, what they all snow, tbat Hampton defeated Chamber lain in 1876. Chamberlain, by holding out, is merely trying to continue' strife between White and blacks. Every one had: better abandon bim. ' " .
