The terrible struggle that must have ensued
at the murder of Mr.. Nathan, the blood
splashed high up on the wall, the broken
fingers of the murdered man, the dis
ordered condition of the room, and
the fact that Mr. Nathan himself was
a streng old man determined to sell his life
dearly, all indicate that more than one person
was engaged in the terrible strife. One man
could not have battered the old mans head
and body so cruelty while that old mans
fingers were at his throat and come off scot
free. The immense reward that has been so
long unclaimed will certainly not induce the
murderer, if there was only one, to give him.
self up-to lay down his life, in fact, for the
money-nor will it induce an accomplice, if
there were more than one, to surrender up
himself with his comrade, unless there is full
immunity guaranteed for himself. The two
are bound together now by the closest ties of
mutual interest Their lives depend on their
secrecy and they are faithful to one another.
But the proposed compromise with the least
guilty will demoralize both of them. They
will each dread and doubt the other. If there
was but the one murderer the proffered i'm
munity will not make him keep his secret
more closely than he keeps it now. If there
were two, the assured safety from punish
ment, the terrible dread of his companions
treachery, the pangs of conscience, and the
forty seven thousand dollars reward will
drive the less guilty one, sooner or later, to a
confession. AS it stands now, the inquest
ended, the Nathan case remains an example
of the utter inefficiency of our detective po-
lice. Like the Burdell and Rogers murders it
will always loom up as a black horror, the
mystery of which nothing but the terrors of a
deathbed may unravel

also recommend among other things that the
reward for the arrest of the murderer be
modified SO as to include immunity from
prosecution for an accomplice or acces-
sorry, if there should be such, provided he
gives all the knowledge relative to the crime
in his possession. This recommendation is a
very sensible one, and it is not creditable to
the shrewdness or zeal Of our authorities that
such action has not been taken long ago.

by its division into separate, jealous, and
often hostile States; but now that the
German people, from sense of their common
danger, have become united into a confede-
rated and compact nationality, it is no longer
possible for France to carry out this long
cherished scheme of conquest; and, now that
Germany has it in her power, she would be
unmindful of her own interest and insensible
to the advantage of her present position if
she did not restore the former physical bouu-
dairy between herself and France, which is the
best security for the national integrity of
each country. With what show of justice, we
may ask, can the United States or its people
say to the people of Germany, "You should
not do this 2" With about as much justice as
the people of England declared that we ought
to let the Confederate States form separate
government; because they-that is, their gov
ernipg class-desired it.

The difficulty between Mr.. Tilton of the n.
York Independent and Rev. Mr.. Fulton of
Boston, began in this wise. Some time ago
Mr. Tilton received letter purporting to
have been written by the Rev. Mr.. Tilton, in
curing whether Mr.. Tiltou really drank
glass of wine or not at certain time. To
this letter Mr.. Tilton replied through the
Brooklyn Union, to the effect that there is no
donbt he did drink the glass of wine referred
to, and further more, that the shot gospeller"
meaning Mr.. Fulton, had himself been track
ed one Sunday evening from Bowery, where
he drank lager beer like a trooper. 1t is said
thu. the letter to Tilton was forgery, and
that the answer was without foundation. At
any rate libel suit seems to be in progress
and both gentlemen will have all the notoriety
in connection with the matter they desire.

To Oakley Halls letter to General Pleas
anton in relation to General Woodford, Pleas
anton replies as follows:
To HIS Honor A. OAKEY HALL,
DEAR SIR: Your letter dated Manhattan
Club, Oct 4, was only received at my office
to-day, during my absence.
You propose to try certain charges you
have made against the character OF General
| Woodford before private tribunal. l have
no authority to constitute a private tribunal
to try either his or your personal character at
fected by those charges.
You made the charges in public, appealing
to the people of the State as the tribunal to
try them. Gen. w oodford has since offered in
his speech at Albany, to submit the question
of their truth to the arbitrament of the peo-
pie, if his opposing candidate would assume
the responsibility of making or supporting
them in a public discussion. l think he is
right, and that any answer he does make
should be before that popular tribunal to
which you at first resorted, and from which
his accusers should not now be allowed to
withdraw. Very respectfully your obedient
servant. A. PLEAsANToN.

wife or not, for he distinctly condemns the
verdict, in the Sickles case, as we'll as all of
those of the same class which have followed,
Notwithstanding the fact that adulterous
intercourse between Key and Sickles' wife,
was fully established by the written admission
of Mrs. Sickles herself, so that in fact he de-
nounces the adoption of the legal principle
that libertines and adulterers pursue their
hellish designs upon the daughters and wives
of their neighbors and crafty their wicked
lusts to their hearts content, with perfect inn
punity-at least so far as any danger of ven
geance from the hands of dishonored and out
ragged husbands and fathers are concerned.
Practically it is demand that adulterers
and debauchees shall have free course and
be glorifed in the qualification of their I'M
hallowed lusts.
Doubtless every libertine and adulterer in
the land will shout "amen" to the demands of
the Press, but am inclined to think there
are some 'old fashioned people left yet who
believe in the duty of preserving the sacred
ness of marital relations, the purity of the
wives and daughters, and the precious sweet
ness of homes hallowed by affections, and
who will still think there is justice as well as
truth in the declaration of Holy Writ that
Jealousy is the rage of man." Therefore he
will not spare in the day of vengeance.

REPUBLICAN, VICTORIES IN THE
WEST

The returns received of the elections
held on Tuesday indicate republican VIC
tories in all the States where they occurred
1t appears that the republicans have not
only held their majoritics of former years
in the popular vote, but have increased
them. This is more than was expected
or claimed BY the republican committees
and canyassers. Just how the result Will
be on members Of Congress, we cannot
vet definitely conclude. Some OF the
doubtful districts have returned republi-
cans. while in few instances disorgan-
izers have succeeded in overthrowing the
ticket, but upon the whole the issue is
favorable. 1t was granted before cleo
ton that in the middle created by Reve-
nue. Reformers, Independents, malcon-
tents and open boilers, there would be a
loss to the republican side, but the re-
turns are not of that complexion. 1t is
settled by these elections that the repub-
lican majority in Congress will continue
to be about what it is now, and that re-
publican measures will still prevail in the
government of the country. Most graft
flying must be the endorsement which Is
thus sent up by the people of the acts
and policy of the Administration and
Congress.
The opposition has made every effort
in its power to overthrow the republican
party, not only by bringing out its own
positive strength, but by encouraging and
organizing all the disaffected elements
among republicans into active efforts to
destroy the party. But the decision is
against the democracy. The honest vot-
ers are not with them. Their past course
is remembered against them, and though
they plead ever SO eloquently to be en-
trusted with power, and denounce ever SC
bitterly republican management, they have
no influence upon the popular mind. Be
side, the Administration has rendered the
best evidence of its fidelity, wisdom ant
economy, in the reduction of the public
debt and taxation which it has effected
and in the general prosperity which its
foreign and democratic policy haze aided
to establish facts which all can see and
understand. With these before them, the
people feel that the affairs of the govern,
ment are in safe hands and there is no de-
sire to change. This is the verdict of the
elections thus far.

There was little "scene" at a Mormon
conference in Salt Lake City on Saturday.
Brigham Young offered to resign his place
as trustee of the Mormon Church in favor
Of young man. But Young is a shrewd
politician. One of his adherents immedi-
ately declared that the motion to precede
that of accepting his resignation was one
that the Mormon chief be sustained. OF
course the great and faithful congregation
voted to sustain him with enthusiasm. He
then resigned the trusteeship and the pres
idency of the perpetual fund, alleging as
the cause that he wanted to travel among
the saints, and that he was getting old,
and did not want to be harassed with law
suits threatened by apostates. He was
very bitter against the courts; and said he
was determined to resist every encroach-
ment and persecution. His councillors.
Smith and Wells, resigned their offices to
travel with him.

The prospects of the Republicans in
Missouri under all the difficulties which be-
set them are reported to be good The
designs of the boilers are exposed in a
late letter of the Chairman of the State
Republican Committee which says:
1.-THE fact is, the bolt was planned and
predetermined long before the convention
by as unprincipled set Of political gam
blers as ever disgraced the annals of par
ties, and nothing could have restrained
the determination to break down the Ad-
ministration and the Republican party OF
the State. Restoration of suffrage to late
rebels and change of Governor were
only subterfnges to cover latent purposes
having in view the establishment of a new
party to contend for power in the next
national election, and break down the Ad-
ministration of General Grant.
