The results of the Convention yester-
day we're subjects of general comment
on the streets last evening and this
morning. A general feeling of satisfac-
ton prevails over the nominations, and
the belief in the success Of the ticket is
universal. Bets are freely offered on
the candidates, odds of one thousand
votes in the district being rendered in
favor Of our Congressional nominee
Colonel Haynes. There are few sore
heads who swear they won't support the
ticket-even few of the delegates from
this city say so-but these heightened
representatives of the people are desti-
tute of influence, and cut no important
figure before the country. Men are
nothing, principles everything" is the
true motto of the patriot, and we are not
of those who believe that patriotism
has ceased to exist in this land.

Mrs. Fisk aud relatives Of the 1cccas-

were present at the time Of his death.
This cowardly act has awakened in the
city and throughout the country a SYM
patty which his life would scarcely enti-
tie him to. Great Indignation is felt to-
ward the murderer, but it is said Stokes
is worth S250,000 and you never re-

hanged in this country"

brought to Brattleboro for interment.
