PROCEEDINGS III THR LEGISLATURE. The
fifteenth amendment resolution, repealing the
resolution of the previous Legislature, was
passed in both houses Of the lie yislaturc yes
terday. In the Assembly debate of one
hours duration ensued upon it, in which Mr..
Murphy contended that the ratification by the
previous Legislature had not been completed.
In the two houses various measures OF interest
were introduced, among them bills repeating the
Conspiracy laws, or the laws against working
mems strikes; repeating the Excise law, amend
Ing the Metropolitan Police laws, declaring Mr..
Henry Smiths appointment as Supervisor
valid, providing for certain street railroads,
and to compel the gas companies to report to
The Comptroller. Both houses agreed to ad-
iourn to-day until Tuesday, in order to give
ahe presiding officers time to form the regular
committees.

THE SEQUEL TO THE ROGERS MURDER
One year and four days ago Charles M. Rogers
was killed at his own door, in broad daylight,
by ruf1ian whom circumstances at the time
and subsequently on the inquest pointed out to
be one James Logan. Several James Logans
were arrested at the time, and, for the purpose
of convenience, they were cassed as No. /,
No. and No. 3. The James Logan who was
classed as No. was shot and fatally wounded
In an affray on East Houston street, at an early
hour yesterday morning, and now lies in Q
dying condition at Bellevue Hospital. With
him, probably, lies the only hope Of ever clear
ing up the Rogers mystery. He has made no
statement yet, but it may be because he does
not believe he Is dying. 1t behooves the off,
GERS Of the hospital or those attending him to
watch and take down carefully his last words,
for they may be of more importance than his
whole life has been.

CUSTOM HOUSE, REFORMS. Grin
nell has been unearthing good many abuses
in the Custom House-some of long standing
and has been and is working faithfully in the
work Of retrenchment and reform, for which
he is entitled to credit. We think, however,
that in doing justice to Mr.. Grinnell We need
not do injustice to the late Collector Smythe.
He, too, was faithful officer, and cut down q
good many abuses, and he would doubtless
have cut off q good many more had he been
actively supported at Washington. But his
President, Andy Johnson, was too much
absorbed in defending the constitution" to
have any time to spare in defending the Trea-
sury; ard so Collector Smythe was not
properly encouraged in his efforts to save the
public money. He did the best he could, and
If Andy Johnson had supported him actively,
and had devoted little more attention else
where to the Treasury and little less to his
defence of the constitution, General Grant
would have had o greatly reduced margin Of
rascalities to look after. AS the facts will
show, Mr.. Smythe was one Of the few of john
sons collectors who made his own interests
subordinate to the interests Of the government.

THE STREET CLEANING CONTRACT. The
Superintendent of Street Cleaning has made
his report To Mr.. Brown, the contractor, for
the past year. 1t was laid before the Common
Council yesterday. The Superintendent says
the work has been greater than usual, owing,
among other things, 10 the increase of popula-
tion, and he has lost about ten thousand dol
lars by the unusual mixture of sand in the
street manure which he carts off to sell. He
thinks an appropriation Of about one million
dollars would keep the city cean for the
present year.

THE METROPOLITAN POLICE REPORT. Tho
annual report Of the Police Commissioners is
published in full in another column. 1t is in
the main o somewhat satisfactory exhibit.
The force, it states is insufficient for the work,
there being only one officer TO every five
hundred inhabitants in this city, and to every
thousand in Brooklyn. The total number OF
arrests during the year in this city was ~ 9S4,

ing salutary influence in the matter OF

Qua CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICAN
BupeRT.-we publish in another column the
latest intelligence from the Central and South
American republics. Generally speaking
affairs are very quiet throughout. A most
disastrous fire ragged in Valparaiso and many
buildings, among which was the British Con-
sulale, were destroyed. The Paraguayan
war still drags slowly along, and Lopez was

seize such an opportunity as Cuba presents to
promote its interests and to Increase its power
and grandeur. II the President cannot COM
prehend what is our national policy with re-
gard to Cuba, it is to be hoped Congress will.

AIIzoNA.-Governor Stafford, Of Arizona,
who is on his way to Washington, gave our
reporter yesterday his views in regard to the
mode Of dealing with the hostile Indians in that
country. 1t seems the Apaches, who number
twenty thousand, overrun the Territory, and
are Of the old treacherous stripe of savages
who hold to the torture and the stake in
dealing with their captives, and have not been
demoralized into civilization and peacefulncss
by bad whiskey. The military force in the
Territory is about one thousand five hundred
men, and is, Of course, wholly inadequate.
Governor Stafford suggests that more cavalry
be sent to the Territory, or that volunteers
from among the miners and farm,A be allowed
to take the field.

SpaIu-AuOthor Crisis.

Spain is once again in what we might call
agony For year and a half nearly she has
been before the world in . revolutionary
character. During that time we have had no
end of promise and failures abundant. There
were those who hailed the revolution which
sent Isabella adrift with high enthusiasm.
There were others who regarded 1t as the
believed in Spain. Some pronounced Spain
hopelessly incurable. II Is not our habit to
follow the prophet Of evil tidings. We were
willing to give Spain chance. Now, how
ever, that we have had this protracted expert
ence Of Spanish incompetency now that we
have seen Spain going about for year all
over Europe and vainly begging a king, and
with the facts of the hour before us, we must
admit that Buckles view Of Spain Is the
correct one. Spain, according to that great
writer, has been so long stepped in ignorance
and misery that there is no hope Of any
immediate resurrection. Since the days of
Charles the Fifth and Philip the Second Spain
has bsen going backward year by year. The
resurrection must be equally slow. 1t is now
rumored that Serrano will be invested with the
sovereign power. 1t is said also that the
Cortes are unwilling to adopt this extreme
course Meanwhile it is fact that Prim has
failed The refusal Of Italy to allow the Duke
Of Genoa to become candidate for the
Spanish throne made Prims resignation q
necessity. 1t is also fact that the partsans
of Montpensier have become more active than
ever. If it be true that Topete has expressed
his willingness to take Office the star Of
Montpensier is fairly in the ascendant. The
real question now is whether Prim can do any
thing. The secondary question is, what will he
do? The crisis is such that moments may
work wondrous changes, and an extraordinary
reaction be heard Of at any moment from
Madrid.

IRELAND AND THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Our news by cable regarding the result of the
election which has just taken place in the
county of Longford, Ireland, is instructive. Mr.
John Martin was once political convict. He is
known to be welded to his esrly anti English
opinions, although not Fenian. He was suili-
ciently Fenian in sympathy, however, to be q
popular Fenian candidate. Mr.. Martin in the
British Parliament would, we think, have
become very tame old lion. H. -
however, by scion of one of the oldes
families is an instructive lesson. 1t
imply that there is moro noise than
Irish reformcrs. Ireland may gre
will, but it is Mr. Gladstones intc.4
remove all cause OF complaint that the growl,
wherever heard, will provoke contempt, not
sympathy.

THE PURCHASE OF CuBA.-Our Washington
correspondent has seen private letter from
Madrid, which says tn at Prim and Serrano
are both inclined to favor sale Of Cuba to
the United States, but are fearful Of the effect
on the Spanish people, who are bitterly OPP
posed to it. Spain needs money, and that fact
would no doubt facilitate negotiations.

THE COUNTERFEIT SwINpLERs-Judge Bed
ford has done another good thing for which
yesterday sentenced David II. Smythe, one OF
the notorious counterfeit swindlers Of the city
who carry on business by tempting their GUS
toners to invest in what they claim to be
excellent limitations Of the genuine currency,
and then to save themselves from the law
hold back the counterfeits and palm off on
their unwitting confederate a mass of waste
paper. They arc generally secure in their
rascality, because their victim cannot COM
plain without duplicating himself. But yester-
day Judge Bedford caught one of these sinners
on tho hip and sent him up for five years,
amid applause in all parts OF the court room.

CONFESSION or BUoKHouT. .-Buckhout the
murderer of his wife and Mr.. Kendall, in West
chester, made a confession yesterday while
partially under the influence of chloroform,
administered to him to test the truth Of his
pretended insanity. He says he killed his wife
because she was unfaithful to him, and he does
not know why he killed Kendall. AS so many
cases Of this kind occur in which o plea Of
insanity is entered, the success of this expert
ment by chloroform is a matter of congratula-
tion. Hereafter, when murderer pleads
insanity, put him under the influence Of chic
roform, and if he proves his insanity in that
way send him to the insane asylum.

OUR LETTERS FROM EuRoPE.-By special
written correspondence from Europe we have
a very interesting elaboration of our cablo
telexrams to the 25th Of December. Tho homo
prospect for the new year in Great Britain was
dscouraging, as our writer in London has to-
speak of heavy taxation, depression of trade,
political discomfort, pauperism and crime
Outside the Basilica, in Rome there was
military review, the Papal army mastering in
force, but it must be acknowledged not with
anything like the coherent esprit which distin-
guishes the ranks Of the clerical le onaries of
the Holy See. North Germany iy about to
make solid and powerful additions to the navy
of the confederation. Austria was agitated by
trades unionists and attempts at Industrial
rectifcation by tho people. Generally speak

wider separation both Of classes and people

THE TnLEGRAPuERs' SrRlKE-Thc strii II
the telegraph operators is spreading in all
directions. Both sides make statements
regard to the cause Of the strike, which diff
SO materially that q harmoniziug of views "a
the subject seems impossible. The matter -
at any time Of interest to the general public, hut
it becomes painfully so whcn the result may
be a stoppaye of telegraphic communication
with Europe and Cuba. The latest reports
show that the strike is becoming general
among the operators in the South and alon:
the Newfoundland lines, where it will directly
affect our Gulf and Atlantic cables. When
matters come to such crisis as this it is time
the government should run the telegraph for q
while, If only as an experiment.
