TE NATHAN MURDER.
To TIE EDITOR OF THE nERALD:-

~ IHE EDlIOH OF TIE uERA1.D:-
AS the result thus far of the most careful
search and inquiry, by both police authorities
and Coroner's jury, only two facts seem to be
fairly established-viz., that doath was caused by
the Inurderous use Of the "iron dog" and that
said dog Is peculiar object-a peculiar
or unusual object, because no one of all who have
seen it, or Of those who were examined by
the Jury, appear to have seen its exact coun.
terpart before. l imagine that the importance
Of this fact is felt by all those who are ION the
search;' but why do they not make proper use
OF it? The "dog' has no doubt been seen and
handled by Others in this city besides the mur.
dcrer before the murder was committed and vet
they may not be able to recognize or identify it
from the mere verbal description we have had
of the instrument. Very few, even of the
educated, can form proper conception Of
the actual appearance Of it, even from
good description OF 1t. How much
more improbable would IL be that an unlettered
person could recognize it from such description.
And yet that very person might have handled it or
kicked il around many time and not have known
that 1t was even "ship carpenters dog" Let
the authorities have photographs taken Of it, or,
better still, as near possible tdc si,nHies made
OF wood or other material and have these
exposed in fifty different prominent places in the
city Let the original dog be exposed to the
public also, where all may see it who
desire to, and then when it is thus
brought before the people in manner such as
that even child might recognize IT il he
had seen it before, and with the fact that a
reward is publicly offered to any one who will
positively identity it, feel confident that the
effort will not be altogether barren Of results 1t
is not too late to have it done now. Let 1t not be
ssid that in less than three weeks after one of the
foaest murders that has stained the annals of our
city the murderer defantly walks the streets of
the great city safely and ieariessly, because the
officers ut Justice are asleep and the murder IS
already forgotten by the people, whose sensibili-
ties were terribly shocked so recently.

victlon that IT is politically unwise TO
make fight which would only embitter
the feelings of both parties; but n vigor-

Murphy will have TO meet in the Senate

convinced that this was an overt act Of
party disloyalty, he will be rejected
otherwise he will be confirmed. Opin-
