A meeting has been called ii Newcastle, Indiana, to tcice into consideration the propriety of jietitioning our next Legislature to repeal the law. It U alleged that many of the Companies organised under it, as it now stands, are nothing mure than impositions fraudulent nrrnngeme uts for swindling the people. Their agents have been very active in geouring business; a great many policies have been issued, and heavy premiums paid. Now, the holders assort, they are called upon for nuiaerii and Inrw MAOssmeotrt when the$ wre assured but few and light ones, if any, would be required. They further assert that these companies are close corporation. i, really controlled by their ofliocrs, though ostensibly by their stockholders that their officers fix their own h.i..,ri i j i .ilce assessments and manage businegg solely in their ti irent and not in that of the stockholders, who are scattered throughout the State, and without notice or means for cooperation. Xheae remarks, of course, only apply to those companies Wtose mnuagemcut has resulted injuriously to tho policy holders; and the movement is innuvuarated to prevent impositions in !'il ere. The poople of the central and cistern part of the State have been sufferers by the Sinnissippi concern, as well as many of the citizens of the First District; and it..- mismanagement is, doubtloss, prompting the above action. There scorns to be some reason for the move ment , and we think it will hardly moot with any opposition from the responsible and resectable companies f the State. They are as deeply in - torontor? as the peoplo cau be, in throwing such guards and checks about the Insurance Laws as will pre vent irresponsible and mushroom companies from niching the people's money under tho guigc of organized egal authority. Such companies as our own Vanderburgh Mutual and others, which are of long established reputation, or the uew ones which have tho confidence of the miblic. will be benelltteu by the adoption of such restrictions as will onerate to prevent the multiplication or speculating concerns, whose failures and frauds go . i J . e i T iar towarue uuevioynig uvuuuence in all.

' Tho attowdaiice at the National Convention of the Grand Army of the Republic, now in session in this City, it not so largo as many supposed it would bo. The rumors of many hundreds from Wisconsin, Illinois, Ohio, and other States, proves, as do most rumors of tho kind, without foundation. Indiana is well represented, and Ohio and Illinois have delegations respectable in numbers, but there is not that outpouring of soldiers that many anticipated. Wo feel confident that only a minority of the posts in tho groat Northwest are represented, to say nothing of those that have been established in the Middle end New Kngland States. This is to be regretted, as the Convention is expected to organize the (Jriind Army on a more substantial basis than it has hitherto boon occupying. The action of tho Convention yesterday indicates that a complete and radical change in tho wholo structure of the organization including a now Constitution, ByLaws and Ritual is contemplated, ami, from the remarks of one of tho committeemen on Ritual, it need surprise no one if the ceremonies of the Order arc divided into three degrees, , ami its workings materially1 complicated. Whether there be sound practical wisdom in this contemplated ehange is, in tho opinion of your correspondent, exceedingly doubtful. Among the delegates may be recognized some of the most distinguished officers of the army. Missouri reports Oen. John McNeal, tho recently elected Sheriff of St. Louis, Gen. II AJRDINO, Col. CAVKNDKn, and 0tbW8. Illinois sepds Generals John M. Palmer, Pikkuon, Mohhkr, ChetLAIN, WERRR, OenORNE, IH'BLBUT, Major Stkvenhon, and others. Pennsylvania sends Colonels Kelly and Clayton, MoMiohakl, and Major Fitters. Ohio, Generals Potto, Taylor, and Willioii. Iowa, General Vanuever and three or four Captains. Kentucky, Colonels Far LEIUH, MlI.WARD.and Hi H.iK. Indiana reports a host of names, including many of her best officers. Ten departmcnte report delegations ; a few of the departments, however, being represented by only one or two delegates. The President, Gen. John M. Palmer, in his address, on taking the chair, gave a briof summary of what he conceived to be tho objects of tho convention. In addition to looking after the comfort of the widows and orphans of fallen comrades, and ursisting maimed companions into positions, public and private, where they might earn an honest livelihood, the General thought the order had a higher and more honorable mission. During the war they did not fight bocause they desired to slaughter and devastate. They contended for the principles of liberty and free government, and their work was not complete so long as there remained a solitary State in which the life of a soldier of the Republic was jeopardized by the j avowal of the principles for which ho contended during the war. It was for the Army of the Republic to so concentrate public opinion, as to secure the safety mid peaco of every soldier and friend of tiic Goverumeut, wbereever floats the fla". This sentiment of tho General was responded to enthusiastically. He also directed the attention of the Convention to tho necessity of such a ohange in our system of military education as to prevent the building up in this country of a military class. This sentiment was responded to by a resolution drawn up by Gen. Willich, appointing a Committee to prepare a plan for a general system of military education, to be ultimately submitted to Congress to be embodied into a law by that body, At the close of tho morning session of the Grand Army the Indiana delegation, by a largo majority vote, recommended Gon. John A. Logan for Commander-in-chief of the Grand Army. It is probable that he will be elected to that position. Some politicians ' have hiin on the cards for President in 1868. They argue that his nomination will be made by tho Grand Army, and that tho Republican party will be compelled to indorse tho nomination. This movement, to say the least of it, is premature. It is much too early to be hunting a candidate for the next Presidential race.

It it fur wiser to get well out of the Wrape into which the country has been precipitated by onr present Vxceuiivc before we perplex onr brains as to who shall take his place. Yesterday morning, as er ftnnouncotnent, the lit rail office was offered for sale to satisfy an execution. Your correspondent dropped in to see what estimate the loading Democrats of the State placed upon their State organ. The circulation of the daily iraltl may be imagined by the fact that, preceding the Male, the auctioneer announced that whoever purchased tho office entire would be expected to furnish papers to all subscribers who had paid in advance. The number who had thus paid in advance on the daily was me kundrnl ami nffhfrm! Truly a heavy mail list for the State orgun of a great party. Tho assignees were very liberal at the morning sale. They called for bids, but reserved tho right to postpone the sale, at the same time giving bidders tho privilege of withdrawing their bids. Thin was not calculated to make a sale, and after rci l iving on offer of $18,000, the bidding wus postponed until tho afternoon, when the office was disposed to Lape. Develin of Cambridge City, for 2T,0T0 fully as much, we guess, as tho establishment is worth. While tho Democratic State japer is thus sold out under the hammer, it is gratifying to know that the leading Republican organ is prosK;rouS 8fif growing. The now building for tho Indianapolis Journal will be, when completed, one of the best arranged and most commodious for a priuting office in the West. The front building is five stories high, and every convenience for fooilitating the Work provided. When we rcgurd the magnificent and costly charadtcr df the uew edifice, we aro not surprised to learn that one of its owners is soon t lead to the hymeneal altar the daugbter of dome distinguished New York millionaire. One is naturally the supplement of the other, The Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows and the Grand Division of Sons of Tomperonce are both in session in the city. The Grand Lodge is largely attended, and its proceedings, we are informed, are unusually interesting. A great many new Representatives have come up at the present communication, as many as one hundred, we bolievo.'bcing initiated. This speaks well for tho prosperity of the Order. Wo know but little of the prosperf ity of the Sons of Temperance. We trust, however, tho members will see the wisdom of not burdening the next Legislature with ill-digested schemes for legislating the evil against which the Order is warring, out of the State. We have had many such attempts and all have proved failures. ' Notwithstanding the crowd in the city the bot8 80(5 m to be e(lul to the omergeney.
