to hearing these evidences of the presence
of company in the house on the night OF
the killing, and as no persons have yet come
forward to state that they were with MIR.
Frye on that evening-as they would have
done had they been innocent-there seems
to be some ground for the belief that the
visitors, whoever they were, may have been
the murderers.
The Boston police seem to be going about
the work Of investigation in sensible man
ner. They have no pet theories to turn
their eyes in single direction and render
them unable to see in any other, and it is
therefore probable that they will soon solve
the mystery. If q murder was committed,
it is to be hoped that its perpetrators will
be speedily detected and subjected to the
extreme penalty Of the law.

Boston's Mystery.

The mysterious death OF Mr.. Joseph +.
Frye, OF Boston, causes as much excitement
in that city rs the murder Of Mrs. Hull oc-
casioned in Now York. 1t appears to DO
now tolorably well established that the de-
ceased gentleman did not commit suicide,
but was killed by some person or persons
who were in the house probably as his
guests on tho fatal night. The first i'm
preston was that he died by his own hand,
but the character of the wounds found upon
the body disposes of that theory. The de-
ceased was alone in the house, his wife and
family being absent. The fact that tho
police heard the billiard table in use and
some one playing on the piano at
the same time at late hour on
the night of the tragedy leads to
the supposition that the visitors were q

General Grant Declines.

It remains now to be seen whether the
celebrated Grant movement can get on
without General Grant.
For General Grant positively declines to
re-enter the political field In a conversa-
ton with the Viceroy Of Tientsin, reported
by the HERALD's correspondent in O letter
published in Saturdays HERALD, the Vice
roy expressed the hope that the General
would be reelected for third term to the
Presidency. General Grants reply is FULL
of good sense and patriotic feeling. He
said
Your Exccllency is very kind. but there could be
wish more distasteful to me than what you ex-
press. have held the Office of President long rs
1t has ever been held by any man. There others
who have risen to great distinction ut home and
who have earned the honor who are worthy and to
them it belongs, not to mo. have claims to the
office. 1t is place distasteful to me. place of
hardship and responsibilities. When l was
younger these hardships were severe and never
agreeable. They would be worse now.
The VIcERoY-But you are young man and your
experience would be Of value.
General GRASr-No man who knows what the
Presidency imposes would to friend in the
Office. have had my share of it-have had all the
honors that be should be given to any citizen,
and there many able and distinguished men who
have earned the office. To one OF them it should be
given.
The viceroy, smiling. said that the General showed
himself to be what he always heard-a modest man
and he still hoped tor the good relations between
China and America alone. that he would be again
President. The Viceroy said he had read in some
Chinese papers TRANSACTIONS from the American
papers about the great reception that was awaiting
the General in California, and supposed he would
time lis arrival SO as to meet it..
General GRANT-I would much rather time my ar
rival to avoid it. But most of these paragraphs
exaggerations and others are written in UNI
friendly spirit 1t is possible some personal friends
may come to meet me from the East-a half dozen
perhaps-who will take the occasion to run to
coast, whom will be glad to But my time of
return is unknown ana indefinite, and the stories
that have crept into the Chinese papers about
ster excursions are Congregations
Those foolish and ignorant people who
went about crying that the HEE LID was the
enemy of General Grant, because it
opposed the ridiculous and at heart cor
rupt "Grant movement" so called, and the
schemes for a hippodroming reception, will
now, we trust, be silenced. Every reason
given by the General for refusing to be
dragged again into politics has been long
ago given by the HERALD for him and if it
had been his confidential organ, what it has
for the last six months urged against the
Grant movement, could not, as it turns
out, have more accurately represented his
ideas, feelings and wishes.
Who knows, now? We may have q re-
publican President yet. The General has
helped his party out of its worst hole.

all. He cannot be held responsible for
officers whom he did not appoint and can
not remove. 1t is Of the very essence of
responsibility that the chief executive
should control his subordinates. We are
glad to find that our contemporary, the
San, which has made itself the champion of
the Police Commissioners. is prepared to
accept this Wow. 1t said in the course of
a recent article 1--WE have no doubt of
the power of the Legislature to authorize
the Mayor to remove without cause. We
should not object to that" Indeed, no.
body should object to it, since it is the only
means of fixing and enforcing administra-
tive responsibility in city so large as New

Failure OF James BIcHenry.

Mr. James McHenry has failed in London
with liabilities in the immediate neighbor-
hood of five million dollars. His assets are
stated at about hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars less, and are said to consist of
''shares and leasehold and freehold prop
erty." Far the largest portion is doubtless
covered by the word shares, and il is prob
able that these are generally stated as
assets at their par value, but are in reality
worth much less; in which case the receiver
who was appointed on Saturday will find
his labors tolerably simplifed and his fees
not heavy. This is one failure at least
that has no relation to the ordinary
commercial calamities often reported
from the other side as due to manufacture
ing difficulties and changes in the channels
of trade. It is q calamity of speculation
ant chapter of the history of some American
railroads. Erie, Atlantic and Great West
ern, c., c., G. Il l., Montreal j. Boston, these
are the names that Mr.. McHenry conjured
with and apparently with great success for
time SO far as the accumulation of vast
fortune is concerned yet the great fortune,
like the Aireet in the fable whose stature
filled the whole heavens, can at last be put
into very small jug. Many distinguished
men in our city were his allies. Lawyers.
especially, and financiers, and politicians,
and mere adventurers; and they generally
stood by him while money was to be made
by it and generally gave him up when their
moral perceptions were vivified by the
diminution of chances for profit. 1t was
through his activity and by the use of
money which he supplied that the Erie
Railroad was wres:ed from the hands of
Gould and Fisk; but honesty in railroad
management had no advantage in the
change, tor it was not an improvement to
handle that great road merely in the interest
of connection that was simply intended to
bleed it. Erie has proved tho ruin of
McHenry ct last, if, indeed, this failure
really ruins him. He must be classed as
one more, and one very conspicuous victim
to the mania for speculation

THE WEATHER.-The meteorological condi-
tons have become exceedingly complicated over
the whole country, on account of the develop
mcnt of another disturbance in the Northwest.
The low area that passed over the Middle At
laniic States on Saturday and yesterday has
filed up somewhat, that the pressure within
it is now only slightly below the mean. The
barometer is highest over the lakes Over the
central valleys and the South Atlantic States it

Atlantic New England States and the lower
lake regions. II was heaviest in the first men
toned district, particularly on the coast line.
The weather was fair III the upper lake regions
and the Northwest, and partly cloudy elsewhere.
The temperature rose decidedly in the North

States and fell in the other sections of the
country. The winds have been fresh on the
New England coast and in the lower lake
regions, brisk TO high in the Northwest and light
in the other districts. The weather over the
British Islands continues stormy. Heavy rains
are falling, and the wind is strong from the
northwest aud west ut most of the western
stations. The weather in New York and its

Brooklyn's Mayornity squabbIe.

The Corporation Counsel of the city of
Brooklyn has cut very short indeed the
difficulty between tho Mayor and the Presi-
dent of the Common Council. He holds
that the Mayor himself, except in the event
of his insanity, is the proper person to de-
eide whether he is in good enough health to
attend to the business of the office to which
he was elected, and that his notice to the
effect that he is sufficiently rccov-
cred to resume the Mayoralty duties
stops ut once the functions of the
President of the Common Council
as Acting Mayor. This is such n common
sense proposition that it scarcely needed the
legal acumen of Corporation Counsel to
give it effect. But the opinion of the citys
legal adviser goes further, and holds that,
while acting as Mayor during the tenn
porary inability of the regular Executive,
the President of the Common Council had
authority only to perform such duties or
functions as are current and pressing, and
not to make appointments contrary to the

OBITUARY.

OF the late Capt. Alexander Smith,
father of the wife of Hon. N. p.
Wheeler, the Cincinnati Daily Gazette
has the following sketch:
Capt. Alexander Smith, of Smiths
Landing, Ohio, died December 8, at
his winter home, in Mayport, Fla,
where he had gone four weeks ago for
his health. He was born in Perthshire,
Scotland, December %, 1911. AT an
early age he came with his parents to
this country, settling in Belmont
County, Ohio. He grew up to be very
active in business. He and his brother,
Capt. Joseph Smith, built several
steamboats,, running them in various
trades. Before the war he was Su.
periutendent of the Maysville, Ports.
mouth q Big Sandy Packet Company
for four years. His duties were ever
discharged promptly, and he was
known to be an honest man. The
poor never failed to receive his assist
anoe. Although his sickness lasted
over year, he was never heard to
murmer, and endured patiently the
most intense suffering. His family
were with him as he peacefully passed
away. He left a wife, the daughter Of
the late Capt. John McClain; two
daughters, Miss Belle Smith and Mrs
N. P. Wheeler, and one son, Alex
Smith, jr. He lived wisely and died
in the hope Of a blessed Immortality
His remains were brought North by
the sorrowing family and placed in
the vault at Spring Grove Cemetery
yesterday afternoon.
