OBITUARY. Marquis Leonel de Moustier. A cable telegram from Paris announces the death in that city yesterday of the Marquis de Moustier, late Minister for Foreign Affairs. The deceased statesman was one of the most distinguished public menof France. He belonged to a noble family of the Franche-Comte and was descended from Renaud de Moustier, who accompanied King Philippe Au- gustus in the third crusade and lost his life in 1190 at the slege of St. Jean d’Acre. This family has sent many warriors into the field and in later times has given to France able and distinguished diploma- tists. The ancestor of the late Marquis, the Count and afterwards the Marquis Eléonore Francois Elie de Moustier, born on the 16th of March, 1751, and deceased the 18th of January, 1817, was successively attaché to the Embassy of the Marquis of Clermont d’Amboise at Lisbon in 1775; then at Naples in 1778; Minister of the King at the’ Court of the Elector of Treves in 1783; to the United States in 1787, and at Berlin in 1790. Louts XV1. omfered him the rtfollo of Foreign Affairs, but he preferred to charged with auer"i Public duties at the Embassy at Constantinople. The Revolution con- demned him to inactivity, proscription and exile. His son, Clément Edouard, born the 2d of Jan- uary, 1779, and deceased the Sth of January, 1830, entered upon public business as Secretary of Legation in Germany, where he continued from 1800 to 1812. He afterwards became Chargé d’ Affaires at Dresden and Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of the Duke of Baden, of the King of Wirtemburg, the King of Hanover, and the Swiss Confederation. Elected Deputy for the Department of Doubs in 1824, he was in the interval charged with the Mints- try of Foreign Affairs after the retirement of M. de Chateaubriand. Finally he occupied the it of Am- bassador to Spain, whence he was recalled at the pee of the complications occasioned by Dom Miguel Marquis ‘Léonel de Moustier, the subject of this sketch, was the eldest son of Ciément Edouard, and was born during the early part of the present cen- tury. In 1849 he became a member of the Legis- lative Assembly, and was distinguished for the zeal with which he espoused all measures of order and moderation.

Interesting Protestant Episcopal Missionary Meeting at the Academy ef Music. The Academy of Music, which on Thursday even- ing was the scene of the extravagant frivolities and whirl of excitemeut of the Arion ball, was last even- ing transformed into a place of divine worship, the occasion bemg a missionary meeting in the interests of the domestic missions of the Protestant Episcopal Church. But although the assemblage of last evening met for a religious purpose, there were those among them who could not help mading all the opera house display which the circumstances would permit, and who plumed themselves in the proscenium boxes and ogled the house with lorgnettes, as though they were actually taking @ biraseye view of the veritable heathen. The house was comfortably filled by a very respect- able audience, and the entire stage was occupied by musicians and chorus singers. In fact, the meeting was more of a musical entertainment than a mis- sionary gathering.

General Grant and Mrs. Grant, accompanied by Generals Dent and Badeau, of the President elect’s Personal stail, remained at the Fifth avenue Hotel during yesterday. The apartments occupied by the distinguished party are ina very quiet part of the hotel, and there is nothing about the building which Would indicate the presence in tt ot the President elect, except the “Stars and Stripes’ which float over the edifice in his honor.

The Rumbling of Distant Thunder—“A Cloud no Bigger than a Man’s Hand.” {From the Nee ee a (semi-radical), eb. Six weeks ago the politicians in Washington who fancied that they were the persons to be consulted by General Grant in regard to Cabinet appointments were fretting because their advice had not been asked and because General Grant appeared to have friends in New York ctty with whom he made himself at home, There was a little amusement and not a litle irritation because when General Grant arrived in Washington, soon after the November election, he caused some bushels of letters addressed to him to be burned without reading, ‘That circumstance, upon the whole, did not look as if the General would be on the most amicable terms with the party hacks and acknowled; infinite obligations to the professional poli- ticilans. Now, General Grant is going to New York again, and though his inau, hgaveg will take place within a month has not opened his mouth about his Cabinet, further than to say that he would presently not ask advice, but vise the gentlemen he proposes to call to the heads ofdepartments. It & believe and there is terror in the thought, that he has deliberately taken his pocket slate and ciphered out the Cabinet for him- self, How does he know whether his Cabinet will please the party? Well, perhaps he don’t care very much whether we party is pleased. At A rate the wisest of the persons assembied at Washington, and Pl courtesy calied statesmen, shake their heads and say tuey know nothing about Grant. He was a military necessity, and that's all; or, in the last words of Hamiet, “the rest is silence.” it will be remembered that the House of Repre- sentatives, some time ago, hurriedly repealed the Tenure of Oflice bill, and it must have been noticed that the Senate has not done anything of the sort; and it is tolerably Bikes go that it will not be done. Clearly, e first place, the Senate would anwititgy, in. any case, the peculiar power which it has exercised eed the War wich Andrew Johnson; and appea there is a disposition, while Grant aitathot ths confidence from the ‘Senators to hold the Senate in position to subordinate him. More than that, there is @ bill before the Senate, and likely to be passed, forbidding a person in the Tnilitary and naval service holding a civil office. The real intent and meaning of the bill is to prevent Graat from making pt vol Secretury of War and an admiral Secretary of the Navy. This isthe more significant because it is no secret that it is Grant’s disposition to do just THE ROGERS MURDER. More MystericsThe Case Given to Central Office DetectivesThe Absurd Stories Put Afloat—De Lanoy’s Statements Reiterated. Since last writing no further revelations of a mature calculated to throw light upon the murder of Mr. Rogers have been made. De Lanoy was very active in hunting up further facts yesterday, but it has not transpired that his researches amounted to anything. The Fifteenth precinct oMicers, it is un- derstood, have abandoned the case, the Super- intendent having for the first time yesterday placed the matter in the hands of the detec- tives of the Central Office, who are now engagea im the unravelling of the mystery. The officials at the Central Offics have inaugurated the work by en- deavoring to throw more mystery around the case and secure the circulation 01 lous statements said to have beea made by one of the prisoners. It was circulated about headquarters yesterday that Reilly had been communicated with by Captain Young, who was assured that Maher wore for some weeks after his return to the city a coat that he had monet at prvcsuaa ee oe worn ou! with Reilly to Five Points ‘mubsion H where he wes given @ new ent, then proceeded to a rag store in Baxter street, where he sold it for five cents. Thecoat he received from the ion House, it is asserted, he wore up to the time of tie murder, and sill wears 1t, that he bas never worn the coat said to be given him by De Lanoy. No mention 1s made of the hat, however. Reilly, it is said, confirms the statements of Collins in every particular as tp the movements of Maher on the morning of the murder oo leaving the Spring street station house—viz., that he at evel went to the Tombs to tear Justice Dowling define the law. It is safe to that there 1s not @ word of founda- tion for this ieged statement of Reilly, and that it was circulated ‘or the express purpose of befogging the public and the press. A SINGULAR DISCOVERY. When Lowery arrested Maher it was given out that a man named James Reilly was aiso arrested. The plotter of the Fourteenth precinct shows that Reilly was tak@ out of the station house, and this circumstance gave rise to the im) mpreasio n that he was arrested, Whét was done with bim i 8 mystery.

Commencing shortiy after nine o’clock with a grand march, the festivities were con- tinued throughout the night until the usual warn- ings of approaching dawn, loua and long, were oft repeated. The members of the association showed that they were case oa in handing around the “ducks.” The officers of the aseociation—Messrs. Johnson, McDermott, McMahon, Nash and with the door manager, Mr. Ken- O’brien— nedy, and committee, arranged and conducted the Lg abs - such @ manner as to warrant the assurance everybody present must have Cy be humnself most hearti there were no hearts fricasseed, cut up Into fragments and eemony it was not because there were no tender hearts present and no sweet smiles and bright eyes to do the cutt and the cooking. Then again the members showed themselves quite ‘eticient th serving “toasts” at the refreshment board, and when the well known strains of “Home, Sweet Home” were ven by the band, if there were no ‘‘soles’’ well done it was only because their owners had not through the lengthy and comprehensive menu which the hosts had provided tae ae for the occasion. Young Men’s ‘Friendly Association. At the Germania Assembly Rooms last evening this association gave its fifth annual ball, and as the ordera of dancing were headed ‘‘A friendly welcome to all,” it must be said that all who were present certainly experienced a friendly welcome. The as- sociation comes from the upper portion of the island, and the receipts from their reunions are alw: donated to some deserving charitable object. rooms in which the ball was held are well known as being among the most com‘ortable and well ar- a of their kind in me city, and with the genu- ine friendliness which pervaded the entire company the guests could not feel leased.

THE NEW YORK LEDGER. ‘This strange story, with its startling incidents and thrilling situations, is founded on fact, and kept as close to fact as reverence for the dead and respect for the living will permit; and ft proves that the most marvellous and seemingly tm credible, as well as the most pathetic and terrible subjects for ‘the pen, are to be found in our common human life, with its fierce passions and profound aifections, its fatal sins and awful sufferings. “The Hallow Eve Murder,” as it was called, overwhelmed with unutterable horror, not only the secluded neighborhood where it occurred, but also the whole country so far as the newspapers could convey the account. It was one of the most “memorable murders” of the age, and for these reasons :— ‘The accused was a young, beautiful and accomplished woman, only daughter of one of the haughtiest old houses in the bistory of two worlds, sole heiress of one of the richest manors in the Old Dominion, the loving and beloved bride of w noble bridegroom, and the idol of « large circle of worshipping friends and relations; yet, by a most atrocious crime, or the imputation of such a crime, suddenly hurled down from her heaven of happiness and seeming safety to the depths of ruin and despair. ‘The victim was also a woman, as young, beautiful and highly born as was her supposed murderess. The motive for the diabolical deed was sald to be jesiousy driven to desperation. Long after “The Hallow Eve Murder” had ceased to thrill the hearts of the people “The Hallow Eve Mystery” continued to perplex thetr minds. abe But quite recentiy events have occurred to lighten up the deep darkness of that deed; and so the author is en- ‘abled to present to the readers of the LEDGER the whole sory.
