OPENING OF THE CENT.RAL PARK TRACK. Yesterdsy afternoon the truck at Central Park was formally opened to the public. A very good way, perbaps, to have celetrated its opening, and poe which would have been mora gonersally en- Joyod thao sny other, won'd have been to throw openthe gatos and admit whomsoever chose to wojoyit. If this conrse had been adopted, it is uite Liely that tho atiendan ca would have been folly as large, the speed shown would not bave been much inferior to that which was wit- pesced, sod the management wonld have es- paped the chargo that the opening was a trifle undignified and inanc. But ME. ¥. G. WELCE Jsome of the Board of Managers. Mr. F.G. Welch is pothing if not s:nsational. Hence sometbing of the startling and sensational order was sbeolutely necessary in the openiog of the Central Park diive. The same master hand which crested the wonderful exhibition of the Californis riders, which took place at ‘Dexter Park several years sgo, could be seen fn the programme of vesterdalr's exercises. Who ot F. G. W. would have thcaght of & chariot ¥ace, s pony race, sod an ostrich race, for the g of & private park in which steady-going, quist-minded gentlemen will hereafter exercise their rosdsters] If gentlemen who have secured Tbe right to the track intended to devote their aspars time to the curious and undomestic em- ployment of contesting chariot races with their wives, thoo the chariot race yesterday between Mr. and Mrs. Andrew McDonald would not have been inappropriate as illustrating the msuner of eports to which the track is fo be devoted. If the people of the West Bide enter- tained the base idea of allowing the ungainly ostrich to cast the horse in the shade and super- weds bim 22 an _snimal of easy aud speedy loco- motion, then the announcement of an ostrica ace would not have been s much out of place. But aa they Go not possess in s high degree the Tove for the novel, the startling, andgrotesque, Which characterizes Mr. Wulch, it is not probable that quiet gentlomen axd their wives will zival each other in the excitement of chariot races, or that West Side stables wilt ‘hereafter contain ostriches maintained for the express e of faptastic contesta upon the {Central Purk track. Hance the propriety of ‘those extraordinary restures of the’ programme 8 not easdly discernible. , Thers ware s great maoy shildren present, and #f they were designed for the delectation of that portion of the audieoce the designers thereof &honld be spared the faintest want of reproach, ‘but on the contrary be admired for their kindli- pees. But here srises the vexstious :question, ‘Were the children responeible for the chariot, pony, aud ostrich race? or were thess curious pectacles responsible for ths preaence of the ehildren ? But notwithstanding that the opening in these wespecis was A TRIFLE , PUERILX, St wasa grest success in some respects. The sitendancs was very large, and embraced many of the wealthiest snd most fashiouable people of the eity, and many elegant turnouts. ere were not less than 5,000 people present, most of whom were in carrisges. The standing room for rehicles was so fully occupied that during the aiter part of the race many who had arrived ate to gee the mport wers obliged to turn back.

The result of his recent trip is the en- tire chaonge of tho system of examining passen- gers' baggage, and the adoption of & plan which will effe y prevent fashionable smuggling. POSTAASTEDS DISMISSED. The Postmastor-General has dismiased forty- one Postmasters in various parts of the country, who have beon conoected iu an improper Bals of postage-stampa for the purpose of increasing their own salaries, The cases of about 200 more are undergoing investization in the Stamp Di- vision of the Lost-Ofice Department. These frauds are easily detected. When a Postmaster is found by his stamp account to have been runping regularly alopg for & series of Years, aud thenall st onca to incrense seversl hundred dollars in his requisition for stamps, suspicion is st once dirocted to him. Some of the offces, where it could be easily done. have been discontinued. In some places, whero a change of Postmastors Las been made, the ouated Postmaater has continued to purchase and sell atamps ou tho other side of the street from the Post-Office, to the great infury, finan- cially, of the Postmaster.

The mysterious disappearsnce in this city, in the winter of 1872-3,0f Danie IRiordan, s well-to- do bachelor of Andrew Conaty, will come vividly upin tho memories of cur readers, 88 We are called again, after nearly two years of silence, toallude toit. And the event will be inyested with & greater interest, if possible, when it is stated that trail of evidence has been discover- ed which those who are working up the mattor believe will lead to the discovery of hia fate and the whole manner of his snpposed tragic death. Riordan was Iast seen Iate at night, and being well ncquainted with the city. and, aa supposed, baving a sum of money on his person, his disap- ‘pearance succeeded in working up an uncommon state of interest in the public mind as to his fate. Search warranis were issuedand reissued, and every invontion of fancy as to his where- aboute was sounded, only to result in nothing, and resolve the lm'sy into thin air and find that it was Daseless; which two years of time have not sorved to revoke. The disappointed esid *time will tell;” and time has told at least one thing, that sane men do not judge withont evidence, and that nothing is more erratic and unsafo to depond upou than an excited public mind. After nearly two years, a 8o posed clew to Riordan’s death is claimed to %nvo been dis- covered, and is entirely dilferent from any theo- ry that obiained at the time of his disappear- ance, except in the fact of foul dealing, gg is supposed to have been murdered, not for money, but in & quarrel, his death not being intended, but the result of injuries, and occor- ring io such s manner as to necessitate concealmont by the perpetrators in order to avold arraignment for capital crime. Tho theory, as held by those who have been work- ing it up for some time, is that on the night of his appearance he visited a house of ill-fame on the west side of Seventh street, just south of Messanie; thst while there he ot into s quarrel with the women in the Bouse, which rosulted in s desperata physical struggle; that in the affray one of the women dealt bim a terrible blow on the skall with an iron instrament, probably a poker, which felled bim to the floor and I8 supposed to bave boen sufticient canse for death; that when he did not rewivo the women belioved they had killed him; that they were frightened at the consequences if the transaction was Dot con- cealed or suspicion diverted from them, and that in order to divert it they carried the body and threw it down at some distance from the houso. in the belief that guilt, comolicity, or knowledge of the affair conld pot b fastened npon them ; that they subsequently lost faithin the safety of their plan and in their fright decided to haz- ard concealmeut of the body in the house until sach time as it conld bo secretly disposed of; that thoy then carried the body back futo the house and into the cellar, resoiviag on tempo- rarily burying it ; that before doing 8o, in order to mako doath certain and silenco securo, they cnt Riordan’s throat and then turned him into 8 hastily-dag bole in the bottom of the cellar, and subsequently had the body caried away ob night, but disposad of in s mamner and place which the investizations have not yet indicated. The affair is said to have occurred in the house of Nettle Nowman, on the west side of Seventh, just south ‘of Mossanio, who, it is stated, was then its_proprietress as s house of ili.-fame. Sbeis said to have boen ono of the principal actresses in the supposed tragedy, ber accomplice, or one of thom, being an inmate of the honse, named Sarah Johnson. famliarly callad ** Big " Who the other particeps criminis were it 18 not known, and it is possible that thos much of it might never bave been revesled but for tho dying re- morse of Miss Jonnson. A littlo over s year ago Miss Johnson sickened snd died in the house sbove mentioned. in tho month of June or July. _Before bor death she is said to have committed the terriblo secret to the bosom of another, fatally mistaking that a secret con- fided to snother is no longer a secrat, and the safaty-valve of silence is thereforo peyond reach. So it proved, and the secret burned its way ea- sily along feminine fiagers into semi-publiicity and fell at last into the powder of public inter- oat. It was traced back to its reputed origin, and then investigations wero begun under cover of tho law. THE WILLIAMSON COUNTY MURDERS. Specinl Dispatch to e Chicamo Tribuns. Senrorterp, ..

It was true, he said, that the good people down there had boen afrsid to speak ont for fear of the assnssins, but at last they had determined to get together and drive the murderers and assassins from the county by securing their srreat and conviction of ‘their crimes. The murderors are known. Thero is no doubt as to ths sufficient proof of their guilt to hang them. The Gover- por said_he must_have the lsws enforced, and was ready to furnish the mesna to doit. The question of troops Was discussed, snd the Sher- it eaid it would do no good to gend troops there unless they woro militia. After talkiog the matter over thoroughly, the geoeral conclusion was reached that there was to be no ‘more halting on the part of the Sheriff or other Siicers responsible for the enforcement of tho aws, The Governor admonianed the Sheriff that he was expected to do his whole duty, and that the power of the State should Dot be want- .| ing when it should be needed. Itis to behoped that these resolutions -n:urrmhuwfll be kept, aod that the sssassing will scon meet their de- served punishmeant.
