Is II not wonderful coincidence that this
vagrant should have come upon him Tint
night? or course, no one supposes that an
ordinary loafcr thief would have desired Mr..
NATuAN's presence, even If he had known
when Mr.. NATHAN would come to the city.
Also, ifa vagrant committed the murder,
how comes IL that there was 80 little con.
fusion in the bedroom9 Everybody who saw
the room on the morning after the murder
concluded that the murderer must have been
we'll acquainted with the interior of tho
house. But Migrants arc not accustomed TO
inspect houses carefully before they enter
them. They make the entry in some hap.
hazard way, aud steal what they can and
their work is usually very bungling.
Also. how happens it, If this Hypothetical
vagrant did the work, that Mrs. KELLY, the
servant woman, in her room to the rear of
Mr.. NATuAN's, and separated from it by only
ono door heard no nose2 Remember that
the conflict and tho murder took place in the
still Of the night, and that According TO
Officer MANoAM's testimony at the inquest,
Mrs KELLY was first awakened from her
sleep at six o'clock in the morning by the
shouts OF the sons at tho front door below.
And, finally, why did this Migrants bloody

took or his shoes on entering Mr.. NATIIAN's

left it. But is II not more probable that in
such case n man, whether vagrant or bur.
glar would have kept his shoes off until lie
reached the door below, 10 IA TO make as
little noise as possible in descending the

Before this vagrant theory can be estab.
lished, these questions must be answered.

why Soldiers arc Dissatisfied.

The letters from several soldiers which
appear in our columns today reveal a state
OF affairs in the army that imperiously de.
mands reform If their statements arc
truc-and we have the strongest grounds for
believing them in the main correct-thcse
men have at least been treated lille
gally; md while they cannot themselves
tell how il il DONE their sense Of wrong is
from its very vagucnoss all the more bitter
and intense.
Ii is prescribed in the Revised Army Rcgu-
lntions for 1868 that when It is necessary to
employ non-commissioned officers and sol
diers on constant labor for not less than ten
days, they are to be enrolled as extra.duty
mon, and allowed twenty-five cents a day
wien employed as laborcrs and teamstcrs,
and forty cents day when employed as
mechanics clerks, and storekeepcrs, ut all
stations east Of the Rocky Mountains and
thirty-fve and fifty cents per day respectively
at all stations west of those mountains. BY
an act Of Congress, approved July 10, 1866,
the provision we have just cited was 80
amended as 10 make it more definite, while tho
rate of compensation was somewhat changed.
Thereafter enlisted men, when working
az artiiicers, and non commissioned officers
employed as ovcrsocrs Of such work, were
TO receive, in addition to their regular pay.
thiry-lvc cents day and soldiers en-
ploycd as laborers, twenty cents per day
additional compensation.
If IL ha trua t1ot most cOmr1o uflprG tppn
skilled workmen on duty more than ten
days without the additional compensation
allowed by law, it is an outrage on the legal
rights of the soldiers. If, again 1t be true
that, in order to keep within the require
ments Of the law, private soldiers are detail
cd on what is called daily duty for six or
eight days, and then after two or three days
interval again placed at work, and if this be
done in this manner simply to avoid paying
them wages, It is a trick unworthy an officer
end unworthy the Government. We are
sure the American people will not counte-
nance such dishonest devices 10 save money
such paltry, miserable attempts at army re-
trcnchment.
A nation that can pay of twenty millions
of debt in month does not look with favor
upon cheating; and people the most
generous in the world, and the most jealous
of their rights, desire nothing more than to
treat with eyen-handed justice the humblost
of their servants A General who holds a
contrary opinion is mistaken, nor will the
people thank him for robbng the soldier in
order to achieve reputation for economy.

Was MT. Nathan Murdered by Mere
Warrant

The opinion flat II was vagrant or lOafer
who murdered Mr.. BENJAMIN NATHAN seems
TO be gaining ground. Mr. GEoHGE WILKES
has given in its favor the authority of lis
acute mind and careful Judgment. There
are, however, strong objections 10 be urged
against such a theory.
Suppose that n wandering thief or beg
gar Glanced to pass Mr.. NATnANs house on
Thursday morning, and saw the front base
mcnt hall door left open, as the carpenters
who had leen employed in the house said
they had occasionally seen II; that he mp
preached the gate with the iron grating
which stands before the hall door, and,
thrusting his hand between the bars, lifted
the latch that Ao entered the basement, in.
tending, If detected, to ask for aims, but
found no one to bar his progress and sneakcd
up stairs; that lie managed to escape the
observation of the carpenters who were at
work in the upper part of the house, and
concealed himself in some closet or wardrobe,
waiting for a chance 10 make off with such
booty as he could find that lie heard the
carpenters go away, and still waited that he
heard the murdered man and his sons enter
the house and retire one after the other and
that at about two o'clock on Friday morn.
ing, without entering any other room in the
house, or visiting the pantry with its silver
plate, lie stole softly down Stairs, his shoes
An his hand, TO Mr. NATHAN's room
There, we VIII suppose, he first took the
studs from Mr.. NATHANs shirt, the watch
from lis wastcoat and the pockotbook from
lis trousers pocket; that, with a sleeping
man only three fcot away, he took time to
examine the pockcthook Instead of simply
thruslirg it into lis pocket for inspection
after reaching place of safety; that he
found the safe KY and knew at once t.

The Luck OF Louis Napoleon.

LOUIS NAPOLEON made war upon Russia
in 1854, with q view Of weakening her
power but he actually strengthened it. In
1859 he made war upon Austria to strengthen
Italy and then he weakened France by per
hitting Italy to cooperate with Prussia in
the war Of 1860, In 1862 he made war on
Mexico TO break down the United States,

Of the United States was increased. He now
now makes war to break down Prussia but
instead Of this, he has already succeeded in
consolidating the unity of Germany, and
in giving tho death-blow TO the political
power of tho Papacy by allowing the Italians
to transfer their capital to Rome. His design
was to humble Russia, Austria, Prussia, and
America aud make vassal of Italy. while ig-

The Regents of the University have con
fcrred upon Mr.. BRYANT and Gov. SEYMOUR the

of Mr.. BRYANT no one win dispute il and as for
G ov SEYMOUR he is an accomplished scholar and
an elegant writer, Notwithstanding his devotion
to politics and family. If he had turned his at
tenton to poetry and newspapers as Mr.. BRYANf

Thanatopsis or Waiting at the Gate, he could not
have filled of great distinction as q journalist.
But what is the use Of these honorary degrees

few, doctors diploma had meaning but now
il is nothing but toy, and putting il upon men
like BRYANT and SEYMOUR is IN obsolete and

day. The ferry house at the foot Of whitehall street

This increase Of visitors doubtless came Of desire
TO see the feet OF beautiful yachts.
One OF the most amusing incidents OF the day was
the meeting OF two OF tho Cambria's tars and Of
the sailors Of the Dauntess in q liquor saloon
the Club House. Each fully persuaded that his
vessel would win. Amer awhile the English sailors
and the American entered into personal eIpa-
nation Of their own opinions OF the merits OF the
yachts The Englishmen were confident that the
Cambria would beat the Dauntloss, and the Ameri-
can WAS positive the result would be just the oppo
site. After some rather warm wrangling the sailor
from the Dauntess offered to back his opinion with
dollar, which was soon covered BY tie representa-
tive OF the Cambria.
