Tho Close Of she Nathan Mystery.

Tho Close Of ehe Nathan Mystery.
The Coroner's jury charged with investigat-
Ing the Nathan murder were called together
yesterday aud formally rendered verdict Of
death from wounds inflicted by an instrument
known as s'dog" In the hands Of some person
or persons to them unknown. The jury also
recommended among other things that the re-
ward for the arrest of the murderer be modified
80 rs to include immunity from prosecution for
an accomplice or accessory, II there should be
such, provided he gives all the knowledge
relative to the crime in his possession. This
recommendation Is 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. The terrible struggle that
must have ensued ut the murder Of Mr..
Nathan, the blood splashed high up on the
wall, the broken fingers Of the murdered
man. the disordered condition of the room,
and the fact that Mr.. Nathan himself was
a strong 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 tho 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 1t induce an accomplice, II
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 tho least
guilty will demoralize both Of them. They
will each dread and doubt the other. II there
was but the one murderer the proffered immu-
nifty will not make him keep his secret more
closely than he keeps it now. IF there were
two the assured safety from punishment, the
terrible dread of his companion's treachery,
the pangs Of conscience and the forty-seven
thousand dollars reward, will drive the less
guilty one, sooner or later, to confession. AS
it stands now, the inquest ended, the Nathan
case remains an example Of the utter inefi-
cheney Of our detective police. Like the Bur-
dell and Rogers murders it will always loom
up as black horror, the mystery of which
nothing but the terrors Of deathbed may un-
ravel.

liam can wait with patience his advance by

Should the Prussians assume the offensive
they VIII hnd numerous obstacles IN their
path. They can make no movement by the
right flank without violating the neutrality
Of Luxemburg. If they move straight on
the enemy can retire behind the MOselle
and hold them at hay. The VOsges, how
ever, would not be in the way were they to
move by the left flank; on the contrary, >
movement in that direction toward the ives
would take them into an open country.
We make no speculatiOns as to what
either party will undertake to do, but we
aim only to set forth the Typographical
eatures of the surrounding country.
DISPOSITION OF THE TROOPS.
The disposition of the troops in the ac-
companying map Of the seat of war is based
llpon the meager information that has been
obtained through the telegraph; but the
railway connections, the Typographical and
geographical features of the country, have
much to do with the general disposition of
the troops of both armies.
From what we know of the country and
the massing of the forces, it would seem
that the first great engagement must take
place somewhere in the vicinity of Saar-'
bruck, or Saarburg, or Neuenkirchen, for if
Louis Napoleon can take and hold the line
of railroad between or at those localities, it
will go far to neutralize the action of the
Prussian right wing, and having accom-
plished that France may stand on the de-
fensive and let Prussia take the laboring
oar. The skirmishes already had at Saar-
bruck indicate that Louis Napoleon is feel
ing the enemy's position at that point.

Telegraphic dispatches announced some
days ago that the Prussians were within
gunshot Of Metz, and as yet we have no
authority for saying they have met the
French and driven them from that strong
hold; nor is there evidence confirming the
report that the empire is on its "last legs"
On the contrary, a reactiOnary meoelnent
has been successfully accomplished in
favor of Napoleon and the empire. A new
ministry has been organized with Count
PalikaO at its head: and the work of uniting
Frenchmen under the strong personal gov
ernment of Napoleon, for the purpose of
driving back the enemies that have dared
to invade France. believing that disaffec-
tions among Frenchmen would give them
an easy victory, is steadily progressing. It
will no doubt be cOnsummated, and the
brave Prussians who have ventured on
French soil for the purpose of humiliating
an equally brave and determined foe. may
find it necessary to seek shelter on home
soil once more, and in turn be compelled to
fight it on the defensive Such is the for
tune OF war, that it sometimes proves to be
bad IN the end, to those most certain of
hnal success, from the fact that
victory at first crowned their eff
forts. King William believes in the divine
right of Kings, and Napoleon is strongly
impressed with the belief that he is born to
rule until he accomplishes his portion of the
work commenced by Napoleon the first.
This he believes to be his destiny, and it
amounts to dynasty equal to that claimed
by the proud Prussian who claims he rules
by divine right. Every man has a destiny.
though it may not be to rule nation. A
man may be destined TO draw fortune in
the Louisiana State Lottery, but he can not
fulfill that destiny unless he buys a ticket
Let all remember this, and if they would

LOUISIANA FRUIT.

We yesterday received from friend re-
siding upon Napoleon avenue, Sixth Dis
triet, the following note:
New ORLAEANs August l3 1870
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Having just returned from an excursion
to the Eastern or Florida parishes of the
State. have brought with me. and submit
TOR your opinion. a specimen of the pears.
apples and grapes there produced in the
greatest abundance. The fruit herewith
sent We're grown upon the farm of Mr.. II.
w. l.. Lewis. in the parish of TangipahOa.
The advantages surrounding this section
seem to designate it as peculiarly adapted
to the habits, tastes and industry of our
German immigrants, and through them we
may predict the development of unknown
resources in this almost unknown region.
Very respectfully, V. o. X.
The young girl who brought the above
note also brought samples of the fruit re-
ferred to. Grapes, pleasant to the taste,
and no doubt admirably adapted for wine
making; apples of excellent flavor, aud
sizes varying from small average to very
large, were in the basket. But, in our
Judgment, the pears give evidence of the
greatest success. They are very large of
the most exquisite flavor and juicy.
We are glad to know that Mr. Lewis
has succeeded so we'll in demonstrating
the capabilities of Louisiana soil We
want many more just such public spirited,
energetic men as he is in every part of
the State. In the Florida parishes alone
there is waste and neglected land enough
to supply all the region hereabout with
fruit of all kinds, and there is nothing
more grateful to the human system, more
gratifying to the taste or promotive of
health. We thank the gentlemen for
their remembrance of US, but owe to Mr..
Lewis, especially, a greater debt for his
enterprise and good example.
