THE ROGERS MURDER.

THE CASE MORE THAN EVER INVOLVED IN MYs-
Terry TIE ABSENT CONVICT DENIES HIS
GUILT.
Each succeeding day seems to involve the
Rogers murder in deeper mystery. Already three
James Logans nave arrested suspicion OF having
murdered Mr. Rogers, apparently for no other valid rea
son than because their the same as chat on
the envelope found in the pocket OF the coat
torn from the murderer by Mr. Rogers during
the struggle There is another person suspected how
evera convict, known to the public only as Tom, al
though his full is known 70 the police, and who we
are told was without doubt the writer Of the letter the
envelope which found in the coat As this letter
was never delivered IL is thought that the writer must
have retained IL in his possession and as natural conse
quence, must be the murderer Active search las
accordingly been made for him, but without success,
and it given ont by the Police that the accused bau
gone TO the West. This latter statement however,
was rather premature for friends OF the absent one say
that he can be procured within "a hours; IN facf,
that give himself up, and prove conclusiyey fhat
he was absent from the city at the time OF the
assault provided that he is not sent back
TO Sing Sing escaped convict The proclamation OF
Mayor Han lie laughs at declaring that had no oeen
guilty Of tho murder there are none of his companions
but would have sold him TO the authorities for so large
a sum 5000. As there seems 10 DO no direct
evidence against the other persons under arrest. II
| these statements with reference TO the absent
convict should prove 20 be correct, the Police
| not where 10 turn in their further search
They cam however TO have further Developments ana
say by the end Of this week something startling may e
expected II be hoped that this may prove TO be
real for public have been treated 10 so many start
ling developments in this connection, which have event
ally amounted nothing at ALL that they are becoming
disgusted and ask II anything tangible has yes beep
accomplished Much surprise s manifested by
the police knowing the ways OF thieves in general that
the companion the murderer has not yet come forward
and given the much desired information to the authon'
ties There only that can DO assigned for
his silence that he is relative OF the assassin NO or.
dnafy thief could be proof against such offer as that
Of Mayor Hail. The public sti awaits with impaenct the
further developments In the but having been dsap
pointed 30 often, will receive with caution such as arc
given.

TFROM Az OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON. Jan. lG.-This is the manner Of be-
coming prominent candidates for the Cabinet !"
The popular and accomplished Tide Waiter, esq, of
Maine and tho Hon. Whisky Blossom, NJ. C., of Hi
nois meet on the Avenue greet each other with efu-
sion, and mutually inquire Whats the news y
Waiter. esq, responds with the information that
Jones thinks John Covode would do for Postmaster
Generals and Blossom, NJ. c., scorning Jones's opin-
ion, as who should say "Am not one of the noble
army of opinion-makers general for the nation my
selff-BlOssOm, NJ C., announces that as for him
self. he thinks the claims of the Pacific Coast
can't be ignored by President who once lived there,
and if John COnness isn't put in the Cabinet Repub-
lican Congressman will know tho reason why. The
distinguished gentlemen separate. Next day the
hotels and other second-rate boarding houses
of the Capital tngle with the that Conness and
CoYOde are prominent candidates for the Cabinet,
that the pressure for both is tremendous and that
both arc sure to go in suppose the truth about the
Cabinet to be that before the holiday recess neither
4ir. Waiter nor the Hon. Mr.. Blossom, nor
any other Honorable, nor even Gen. Grant
knew who were going to be offered places in Grants
Cabinet. Certainly the man who. next to the Presi-
dent elect is credited with the most information on
the subject then ignorant as to the persons most
hkely to be selected and was even without any posi-
INo huoWleuge as 10 whether place would be
offered TO himself. Since that time however, IL is
more than probable that Grants ideas have been
coming TO focus on this subject and it is at any
rate certain that his tongue has been loosened lie
has sought meetings with prominent statesmen
whose names the country keeps before him as fit for
his Council Board; and if the soft-spoken Father
Of the House were now to assure Mr.. Ouid-
nunc that he had MT the remotest idea Of the proba
bilities about the Cabinet. Mr.. Quidnunc would be
apt TO laugh But after ALL it is true that absolutely
nothing is knOwn here in any way that brings it
within reach of printers ink of Gen. Grants pur-
poses in the matter. We are within six weeks of
the Inauguration, and 20 this day the political
gossps of the Capital Including gnineteentwentieths
Of our excellent Congressmenl are left to such
speculations as their own ideas of Grants predi-
lections and Of the fitness andlcsims Of prominent
gentlemen4in the Republican party may suggest.
But it is noticeable that the time for the range of
these speculations beyond the limits of the Repub-
lican party has passed. The audacOus chatter of
the Democratic papers came near unsettling the
faith OF few of the weaker brethren for a time
but II to-day there is man of either party who
honestly thinks there is probability possibility of
Grants Johnsonizing," the credulous individual Is
