More than two years ago Mr.. Rogers,
an aged and respectable citizen of New
York, was murdered in his own doorway
by an. unknown man, who escaped, and
was SO successful in eluding pursuit
that his detection had been given up as
an impossibility Several persons were
arrested, each on suspicion Of being the
criminal, but no evidence could be pro,
duccd to inculpate them. The affa ir
was a nine days wonder, and afterwards
was only remembered as remarkable
instance of the daring Of professional
thieves, for such there was no doubt the
murderer was. Now he appears as a
convict in the Auburn peuitentiary,
who, while serving out term of i'm
prisoment for another crime, has cou.
fessed being guilty OF the murder His
name is Pinton, aud he is notorious
among the criminal classes of New
York.

GETTING RID OF THE NEGRO Power.

GETTING RID OF THE NEGRO Power.
The Washington correspondent of the
York cypress, Jan. 10th, writes:
The District of Columbia bill, passed
the House to day, practically disfran-
chises the negroes in all but the minor
Offices. As the negroes so badly gov
ern here, the bill was got up to give
negroes as little power as possible, aud
to leave the real Government in the
hands Of the President Of the United
States, Wbileitstrips the negroes ofpow-
er, it gives very great power to the Pres
ident. This sort OF legislation, very
Objectionable in many respects, has been
deemed necessary to preserve good Or
der, good government, and prosperity
in the District. This is worth noting,
as de frst step blackboard were negro
government began, viz, in the District
Of Columbia, the capital Of the country.
