THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 15, 18G7. "LETTER FROM BANKERS" Wtia are Insured In the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, Show Ing how the Promises of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Compaujr are Performed. "Troy, October 20, 180(5. Mpssm.

Pock ft Hill-man, General Ageius of Connecticut Mutual Lite Insurance Company Gentlemen: Tne undersigned, policy holders In tbe Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, feel that It is too late In the day for this Company to need any from u. Yet, lu view of the fact tbat rival companies are jealous of her unparalleled succtes, and are making an effort to disparage her, we take great pleasure In Baying that the ConnMicut Mutual lias done better by us tban was promised. "Your representations to us have been more than realized. Tbe nou-l'orfcitable feature adopted by your Company the great economy and prudence in tn- mnnacemcnt of its busi-nes the large dividends annually paid to us, and especially tho 0 per cent, dividend paid thin year also the change made by which, iu tbe settlement of policies at death, not even a muffle note conies out ot tbe policy all combine to increase (if any increase is possible) our confidence in your Company. And we cheerfully recommend It tn all desiring to get their lives insured.

We would not chantre. our insurance in this for one in any other company. "Respectfully yours, JARGD 8. WKFD. 1 resident Troy Savings Bank.

They may understand hanking operations, but it extremely doubtful whether they know enough ol the principles or science ot lile insurance, or of the management ot that Company, to warrant tbem in expressing their opinions with fo much confidence. If it was their object ty enlighten trie public upon the subject, it was a very laudable one; but they should have furnished such facts and figures as would have prevented any mistake or misapprehension In a of so much importance. They kuow that the dividend are payable lour years from date or policy, that is, when tbe hfth premium is due, and if any ot them have been insured ten or mare years, and pay ODe-half cash and tbe olhpr half with a note beariug 6 per cent, interest, they know that the dividends were 40 per cent, in 1857, 185H, 185l, and 18i0, and that the notes then given were as-essed 20 per cent, in lBGO, 1801, 1802, and 1803, to make up tbe dear ieney. Tbe 6i per cent, dividend, of which we hear so much, applies only to pelicies which were issued in 1862, and nottothoo of "this year," as oue would be led to suppose by reading this correspondence.

Four years interest is chnnreable asrainst their dividends, and that would reduce tbe b'U per cent, dividend to about 45 per cent. Perhaps some ot these gentlemen may have been insured ten or fifteen years; if so, it is quite time tbey knew that "uniform percentage dividends" are veiy unjust to old members. I call their attention to the following extracts taken from the bound official reports, of the Hon. Elizur Wright, Insurance Commissioner of Massachusetts; 1859 to 1805, pages 301-302. He says: "Since a Mutual Company is as solemnly bound to maintain equity as solvency, it appears to us that there can be no possible justification lor ft uoU'orni percentage ot dividends;" and "other iusuperaole objections to a uniform percentile1, have been dwelt on in.

former reports." "They amount to this, that money which belongs to old members is put into the pockets of new comers;" aud he declares that "this process of sacridcine the interest of old members to nw-oues, we think would be set aside by miy Court of and the question wou'd soon get there if the older membeis came to understand their interest." No ope acquainted with tbe qualifications of Professor Wiiuht will doubt bis ability to determine this or auy other question of Lite Insurance scientifically. As a policy is not an exchangeable article, It Is very convenient for these policy-holders to say, "We would not change our insurance in this tor one in any other company;" but I gues.s if they knew the results of insurances in somo other eompanies, they would not make such an assertion; if they dia, they would be considered very incompetent bankers, and incapable of understanding "exchange." The "contribution plan" Is the only one wherebv tae "divisible turplus" can be adjusted I equitably, by A MurcAL Life Insurance Company. Proclamation by the President. WAsniKaTON, January 15.

Last night a couple of teliows, named Joseph Kocey and Michael McCarty, went into a tavern near Broad aa I Prime streets, aud sat down to play cards. They played for some time, and wheu a man who bud been playltur got up und left, tbey also arwso and followed him out. They follower him until he entered a small alley that enters into Pioad street from Curmea street, when they made a rush, and whilst one of them gar-rotcd him, the other robbi him.

In his struggles to get loose he got sufliciently tree to give an alarm, which Wi.s heard by Otlicers Joseph McKinney and Corkrey, who rushed up to his assistance, and after a short struggle succeeded in putting both ol the garroters hors de conlat. They were escorted to Alderman Lutz's office, where the case was investigated. The proprietor and bartender of the drinking suloon near Broad and Prime streets, came forward and testified that the prisoners were tbe men who had been playing cards in bis place, aud who had gonu out after the man who had been robbed. They were held iu default of $2000 bull each, to answer the charge ot highway robbery. Keesey, it will be remembered, was pardoued last Friday by Governor Curtia.

He had been convicted of being a party to a prizefight a short time ago. which came off at Church Lnhe and Media Kailroad, in the Twenty-fourth Ward. The other man, Johnny Green, is still serving out his sentence, both having been sent b'jlow for nine months ach. An Unseasonable Fellow. A man giving the name oi Kett Manly was arrested on a charge of assault aud batiery last night.

It appeals that Manly has a manly lova for maul sports, and esjiecially for the manly art of solf-delense. Like many another man in whom the desire for knowledge is implanted to an intense degree, he is unable to gratify his curiosity, owiue to the niggardliness of Dame Fortune in not showering greenbacks upon blm. It appears, in fact, tbat Kitt went into Mr. Dougherty's drinking saloon, at Front and Dock streets, and asked him to lend him money to go on and see the approaching Of course Dougherty refused to do it, and Manly went into bim in a style that would have doue credit to the "Boy" himself. Manly was arrested, however, and had a hearing before Alderman Butler, wtio held him iu $1000 bail to answer lor his irritability.

UfA Heavy Kobbeky Frustrated. William Monk, a covetous individual, undertook to steal a roll ot oil-cloth from the furniture store of Mr. A. P. Millis, in Market street, near Fifteenth.

William, however, ual miscalcu lated the thine. In the first place, his muscle was not sufliciently developed to carry off tbp roll with a reasonable degree of speed; and in the second place, he did not allow for the eyes of others beirg upon his movements. As it was. tbe first compelled him to drop tho plunder, and the second ensured his capture by Officer Weakly. For some time previous he had been seen prowling aronnd, and had tried to transfer a coat Irom a tailor's peg to his DaoK.

Alderman Jones beard the history ol his little operations, detailed In a graphic form, and then held him to answer lor bis little pame. 'Titem 190." Some time ago a party of men lormed themselves into a beneficial organi zation, under the name ot tbe Widows' ttelief Association. Stein Wolf, one of tne corporators, thinking this a good opportunity of replen ishing his exhausted (lunds, went around to various parties and collectedvarious small suras of money, amounting in the aggregate to about $190. Elated at the possession of such an amount ot cash, he went on a oenuer, ana in the course of a few days his riches took wings. Those whom he had swindled brought an action against him on the charge of embezzlement.

Sergeant Murray arrested him at Mansfield place took him before Alderman Hurley. After a hearing in the caso he was held in $500 bail to answer thequerv. "Where is them $190?" A Hard Customer. Some time ago a man giving the name ot Robert Stuart was before Alderman Allen, and during the hearing in his case lie behaved in such a violent und unruly manner tbat Hutenant Tolbert ordered him to be put out. Mr.

Hollowav, the turnkey, obeyed the order given by the Lieutenant. Shortly afterwards Mr. Hollownv was charged by Stuart witn aauit aim omery, Din was honorably acquitted by Alderman Davis, before whom tbe charge was mane. Mr. iioiiowav sued out a warrant asalnst Stuart tor perjury and disorderly conduct.

The hearing was held before Alderman Allen this morulng, who deemed the evidence conclusive enough to commit Stuart to an'r thP flmrnw. Henry Vincent, Esq.

Habeas Corpus Case.

Washinotoh, January 15. Two colored boys, who escaped from their former master, Or. Wat-kit ot Montgomery county, Mary and, were brought before Judue Wylio, of the Supreme Court of this District, yesterday, on a writ of habeas corpus, and alter a hoaring, the Court ordored the children to be returned to tboir old master. The greuud of such restitution was based opon evidence that the ohildren, under a Maryland statute, had en apprenticed to Watkins after their emanoiDa- tion. The counsel tor the children pleaded ill treatment by the matter, and tbat the apprenticing of the children was in violation of the Civil Rights bill, in that the laws of Maryland on tbe subject of approntioing tbe children ot emancipated slaves make a distinction between white and colored; that they do not require the master to educate tbe latter; and, further, that those children were apprendced without the consent ot their natural protectors.

The evidence went to show that these children were in a most dostitnte ai deplorable condition when they reached their lather in (jeorgetown, being covered with varimn, aud their elotbes ragged and dirty. Tue mother also bad bten the slave oi Watkins; bad died since her emancipation, in the woods, irom sheer neglect and hanger. These facta were testified upon the bearnv of the case.
