Henry Rogers, the Brooklyn murderer,
was executed on Friday, the 9th instant,
the Governor and all the thirty three
Justices of the Supreme Court refusing
to jnterfere-and from all accounts the
execution was one of the most horribly
inhuman murders which has ever been
prepetratsd under the laws of the State.

Important Opinion OF the Attorney
EoD ar1

Attorney General IIeiskell has deeds
ed that the Comptroller shall move on
any tax coll ector's bond on the first of
January of each year and that the two
year" allowed the collector by law is
only intended as time within which he
may settle with those whO have been des
linquent in paying their taxes to him.
While 1t is perfectly proper that every
provision should be made for the prompt
c objection Of all taxes, it would seem that
this is a rather severe construction Of the
reading Of the law.

From the AIurfreesboro Monitor Of December, y.
There are several worthy gentlemen
named for the Office Of Secretary of
State. We presume not to discrim mate
where there are so many alike worthy,
1t has long seemed to us that the duties
Of Secretary of State should be devolved
upon some intelligent, capable, journal
list, tecause the duties of one necessarily
qualify for the other. Hence we are
pleased to learn that Col James B Bing
ham, of the Southern Newspaper Union
of Nashville, is presented By his friends
for the responsible position. Col. B. was
long a leading editor in the western por-
ton of the State, and when he retired on
account of his health in 1866, had placed
his paper in the highest possible cOndi'
ton of prosperity He Is now in the
prime of life, with sober, studions habits
and is an indefatigable worker. lie Is
good writer and q forcible speaker, and
possesses lare combination of tact and
talent that would adorn any position IN
the State Government We regard him
as possessing pre-emiuent qualifications
for the Office Of Secretary of state. and
we shall esteem it fortunate if the Legis~
lature shall secure his services in that
important trust Let all the press~gang
throughout the State, press his claims as
their representative, and thus the high,
est interests of the people be promoted,
and the duties we'll and faithfully dis
charged.
We know Col. Bingham we'll, and deem
him worthy the position. We hope he
may be elected.

occurrences Of the day, was mora,izing
upon the strange yisitations, when Agnes
started 20 go to the middle bedroom, which
opened from the diningr0om. A loud
knock from within sent her affrighted
back Mr. Mssel directed her to enter
the bedroom and ask who that visitant
was and what be wanted. She shrank
from the trial at first, bat upon Mr.. Ma>
sci advancing near the door to assure her,
she entered the room No sooner was
she inside the door than she saw a sha>
dowy figure near the corner to her left.
She cannot say whether it stood out in
relief, or was spread on the wall ike a
picture; but she saw it distinctly, and
noticed that it had short whiskers upon
the chin, that the eyes were fxed and
partly closed, that the shirt was white,
the coat black, and that a small black hat

asked her if tbs spirit Of her father was

had most frequently occurred when she
was IN room apart, he requested her to
step into sacristry by herself, which she
did, when she says the apparation at

him outside
As we have already stated, the spirit
had said that an angel would come for
it at half-post one on Friday, and it had
also told Agnes that she could see It as

Dr.Tu OF MRS. GREELEY.

The many friends Of her dstln-
ruished hu band will be deeply panied
to hear of the death Of Mrs. HORACE
GrrrLFr. The sad event has not been
p,exnected. For a number Of years
rast Mrs. GREELEY has been in declin'
n, health, her disease being rheu'
Motto affection complicated with pull
r,.,9ry weakness. She spent last wear
IA France 10 hope that the change OF
climate would prove beneficial, but, ex'
pr,ienc;ny no relie', she returned home
About a month ago she was removed
from the farm at Chappaqua to the
hcpse Of q friend in the city OF New
Y,rk. where she died Yesterday morn
INC at four o'clock, having been Tor
several DAYS past beyond all hope OF
racoycrv cr Enforcement. Mrs. GREE
rryvas before her marriage Miss MARY
Y. CHExY and resided with her parents
in New York. She was married to
Horace GrErLEY on the 9TH of July
1886, at W.rrent"n, North Carolina
where she was then engaged in teach
ing school.
In this sore bereavement that has
fallen upon him Mr.. GREELEY will re-
ceive the sympathy and coincidence Of
AL hearts. His private grief will be all
the more poignant because OF the pub
lie position he occupies before the coun'
try to-day and the peculiar dnties which
that position involves; dutiest that must
be particularly narrowing to mind
distracted by such a sorrow. In the
presence of this suffering, let the asprl'
ties Of party rage be so'tened aud the
bitterness OF political strife laid aside.

A SAMPLE of the abuses that have
grown up under GRANTS administration
is witnessed now in New York. where,
under the pretended sanction oflaw. an
United States Commissioner is sending
spies into every house and arresting
men who refuse 10 answer the imperti'
nent and illegal questions put to them
touching their right to vote. Even
women who refused to answer concern
ing their husbands or brothers or sons
have been threatened with arrest and
imprisonment BY this petty officer who
is doing GRANTS pleasure. Four years
ago such an outrage would not have
been tolerated for single day. How
will it be four years hence?

What the Democratic and Liberal
Republicans are COntending For.
The following extracts from the Dem.

LEY's letters and speeches are COM
meuded to those who ask what are the
principles for which the Liberal hosts
are centendiug:
"The public welfare requires the SUI
premacv of the civil over the military
authority and freedom OF person under
the protection Of the habeas corpus. We
demand for the individual the largest
liberty consistent with public order. for
the State selfgovernmept and for the
nation a return to the methods OF peace
and the Constitutional limitations OF
power.-Gncinnati- Baltimore Platform.
THAT, subject to our solemn constl"
tutional obligations to maintain the
equal rights OF all citizens, our policy
shall aim at local self-government and
not at Capitalization that the civil
authority should be supreme over the
military; that the writ OF habeas corpus
should be jealousy upheld as the safe
guard of personal freedom; that the In
dividual citizen should enjoy the largest
liberty consistent with public order,
and that there shall be no federal sub
version of the internal polity Of the sew
eral States and municipalities but that
each shall be left free to enforce the
rights and promote the we'll being OF its
inhabitants by such means as the Judg.
ment of its own people shall prescribe.

The next session OF the Legislature

labor and that Of more important

the changes required by the new Con-
s,itutiop, so lately adopted by the pee-
pie after as hard fought battle be-
tween ignorance and prejudice, and en-
lightened sentiment as it has ever been
our lot to witness, than has devolved
upon legislative body since our young
State was organized.
