SHOCKING MURDER IN NEW YoRK.-Sat-
urday's World says: The city was shocked
yesterday with the report of a horrible and
mysterious murder committed in the heart
OF the fashionable quarter of the city. The
victim was Mr.. Benjamin Nathan, the we'll
known stock broker, gentleman of very
large wealth and high social position, and
brother-iu law cf Judge Cardozo. He was
found lying dead in his bedroom, in his
residence, at No. u West Twenty-third
street, near Fifth avenue. His head was
beaten in with five terrible blows. the in
strument of murder being heavy iron bar.
known by ship carpenters as a dog Mr..
Nathan retired in perfect health on Thursday
night, and the murder was not discovered
until O'Clock yesterday morning. The
most remarkable feature of the tragedy is
that, though two sons of Mr.. Nathan. with
his house-keeper and her son slept in the
house, they heard no unusual noises durino
the night. Mr.. Nathan's watch and lew.
elry were missing and his safe was broken
open. The theory of the murder is that the
assassin was concealed in the house. and
after killing and robbing the old gentleman
quietly made his way into the street. The
excitement over the affair has been intense
The police and detective force of the citv
are max ing every effort to track the butcher

A Queer Jugsle-who can Explain it

When the new election law for this city
was passed through the two houses of the
Legislature, its twenty-second section was in
the words following:
IAN nspectors Of election and poll clerks for any
election, until the inspectors and poll clerks herein
provided for shall be elected or appointed, shall be
appolated as now provided By law"
So the law was passed and everybody
understood that it gave to the Police Com
missoners the power to appoint the inspec-
tors, poll clerks, and canvassers for the cleo
ton of May II. But this belief was shaken
by the appearance here of printed copies of
the law in pamphlet form, supplied, as
We have learned, by that virtuous
Democrat, the Hon. ALEXANDER FREAR. just
appointed by the Hon. A. O'HALL as a Com
missioner of Charities and Correction, in
which place lis vigorous honesty and incor
ruptible love Of public economy will shine
like the morning star. In these pamphlets
the twenty section was expressed as
follows:
IAN inspectors OF election and poll clerks for any
election, until the inspectors and poll clerks herein
provided for shall be elected or appointed shall DO
appointed by the Mayor OF the city OF New YORK"
Coming from 30 virtuous a man as Mr..
FREAR. this was rather a sumner; but when,
on referring to the Transcript Of April 8, the
law was found to be printed there just as in
Mr. FREAR's pamphlet, it was impossible to
doubt any longer For the Transcript is an
official organ, and rich one at that. 1t is
owned by Boss TWEED, Squire SwEENY,
the Hon. J. B. TAYLOR of the Dull Times,
and one or two others and it clears
Several hundred thousand dollars year by

Common Council proceedings. When any
thing of this sort appears in the Transcript,
It is Of course just as Boss TWEED desires to
have it; and accordingly its version Of the
election law was universally relied upon

the law was different when It was passed

The Coming winnipeg wnr.

There are two influences underneath the
Winnipeg revolution which have not been
fully uncovered to the public observation.
First in order of impulse if not in order Of
strength was the discomfort Of the Canadian
fnctors Of the Hudson's Bay Company with
the provisions of the sale of the Compony's
proprietary rights to the new Dominion
Government. The price stipulated was
100000 sterling This money was TO go
wholly to the Companys shareholders resi-
dent In England. The Canadian factors
were not TO have farthing of it. The sale Of
tho Hudsons Bay Companys property threat
cncd all the Company's servants with loss Of
employment and social consideration, and
opened to every man Of them the door Of
dark future, They arasped to save some
advantage out of the sale. They demanded
grants of land.
Here camo in the second inhuence-the old
religious contest between the Canadian
Catholics and Professionals. The employees Of
the Hudson's Bay Company are mostly Catho-
lies. The Governor, Mc'TAvIsH, is Of the
same faith, and has Catholic half breed for
wife at Hudson's Bay. Ademand was soon
framed and pressed with strength for large
territorial grants for the factors of the Com
pany aud for the Catholic Church. Soon
they demanded the exclusion OF Protestants
from politics and property in the Winnipeg
valley and the Northwest Territory, The
refugees from the Red River are Protestants.

lies. The man whom RIEL executed was a

Fort Garry is o transfer to rough and law
less scene of the chronic discord between the
French Catholics and the English Protestants
in Canada, melted and aggravated by the
factors Of the dissolved Hudson's Bay Com
pany, who thought that by making common
cause with tho French element they could
get possession of great tracts OF the rich land
in the Winnipeg valley and on the Assini.
boine and the Saskatchewan. 1t is the re-
ligious character of the quarrel which gives
II its bitterness and 6erceness And, if the
new Republic of Assiniboine goes down this
spring it will be because the French Catholic
power in the new Dominion has made an
issue Of force with the English Protestant
power.

Fraudulent Assessments-Anoth Swim
die in the Tax Levy.

Sectious 2S, 90, and 30 Of the tax levy now
pending before the Legislature, provide for
legalizing fraudulent assessments. Bills
identical with these sections were intro
duced early in the session, and met with such
universal condemnation that no one has pre-
sumed to urge their passage. And now they
arc to be struggled through in the tax levy.
1t will be a poor commentary on Demo-
cratic promises of reform If the party should
now go to work to upset the decisions of the
Supreme Court and impose illegal burdens
upon innocent persons. No party can JUS
tify itself for such action, and we call upon
all the honest men in the Leg stature, Dem
ocrats and Republicans allie, to protect the
people from such oppression.
If these sections of the tax levy should DO
passed without amendment. their operation
would extend backward over many years,
and their consequences would be felt far and
wide.
