Charge of Judge lngraham to the
Jury in the Stokes Case.
The Jury Unable TO Agree and are
Discharged.

New York, July 13,-Judge 1ngra-
ham, in his charge to the jury in Stokes
case to-day, reviewed the evidence for
the prosecution and defense, and con-
cluded as follows:
''If you believe that when the pris-
oner fired and inflicted the mortal
wound, he feared great bodily harm or
danger to his life, and that there was
danger of it being accomplished, he was
Justified in his act, and you will find ac-
cordingly If yon do not believe the
act was justifable, and that in sudden
hea. Of passion, and without any pre-
vious intent to kill, OF that the prisoner
might have avoided the conflict by re-
treating from the danger, you will find
him guilty of manslaughter in the third
degree. If you believe the wound in.
ficted was not mortal, and that it was
treatment which caused death, then you
must acquit him; but if you fud he was
not justified before shooting, he. having
a premeditated design to take life, wheth-
er such design was formed before or
after arriving at the hotel, and that the
wound so given caused the death of the
deceased, then You will find the prison
er guilty of murder in the first degree.
The jury retired at $50 p. NJ, and
returned at p. M. to ask for all of
Fisk's clothes, which request was gran
ted. Att o'clock they were sent for,
and there being no prospect of their
agreeing, the Court took recess until
1880 a. M, to morrow. 1t is under,
stead that eight are. fer murder in the
first degree and four for mansiaughter
in the third degree. s ps''.7f q
New YoRK, July Is, 1872.
~ s-5ii THE STOKES JURY 1855 $50
did not retire to rest until thismornins
One report is that they stand nine for
murder, one for manslaughter, and two
for .acquittsl, Another is that eight
are for acquittal, two for mansIaughter,
and two for murder in the first degree.
No hopes of an agreement
There was an immense concourse at
the courthouse, awaiting the decision
Of the jury in the Stokes case. The
prisoner and his counsel looked rather
cheerful when the jury entered. The
foreman announced that they could
come to no agreement whatever. The
Judge thereupon discharged them
Stokes was taken back to the Tombs.
Among the reports as to the Stokes
jury is one claiming that seven were for
murder in the first degree, four for
manslaughter in the third degree, and
one for acquittal. A motion is to be
made to day to have Stokes bailed.

NEW YORK RUFFIANs.

The party known as Reddy the Black
smith must have charmed life, or else
fate has doomed him to the gallows
otherwise he never could possibly come
so safely through the dangers that at
times hem him about. He has been IN
deadly affrays without number, and yet
has always escaped with his life. His
last exploit was an attempt to break IN
to saloon, on Broadway, at o'clock,
in the morning, with companion OF
equally loose principles. The proprietor
fired a revolver at them, and Reddys
companion was mortally wounded. The
proprietor of the saloon was arrested
and locked up, and the wounded man
conveyed to the hospital to die. Reddy'
the ringleader, walks about the streets
of New York unharmed of the police,
unchallenged of justice. What is there
about this fellow. of what power Is he
possessed, that he can thus defy every
decency of life, every moral and social
law with impunity? He has earned the
right, over and over again, to pass the
remainder of his days In convlcts cell
AMI yet is loose to prey upon society a
his will. He is the bully and the dreao
of the city through which he roams
his name is more frequently before tn
public than that of any ruffian of hi
stamp; and yet, through some myster.
or other he manages to laugh at the Law
and snap his fingers in the face OF 1t
ministers. Such man could exist n
where else but in New York. He Is
fair sample of the tools that are mad
by corruption, which needs such charae
tiers to carry out its DEGREES. He goe
free precisely for the reason that b
should be shackled. There seems to
but one hope regarding him, and that

Making virtue of necessity, he gave
himself up as deserter. and related all
that had befallen him since he left his
Majesty's service without leave or IL
cense. Thinking the crime had brought
its own punishment in his case, the
authorities allowed him to depart for
England by the first homeward- bound
vessel; and when he got there, Browne,

MORE BITTER THAN DEATH.

nj. Thiers has now become powerful
by being indispensable and he can no
longer shift from himself the response
bility of the dreadful suspense in which
the wretehed Communists at Satory are
men and women have now been lying
for weeks under sentence of death, one
or two of their number being occasion
ally brought forth and fusilladed at the
fatal posts. These people may have
done deeds meriting death-some of
them, unquestionably are guilty of very
great crimes but their offences are more
than a twelve month old, and no code
of modern civilization permits torture to
be included among the penalties of JUS
tice. Yet there they languish after this
long Imprisonment. The condemned
night after night, 60 to their pallets,
dreading to hear in the gray dawn the
key turning in the lock, and the fatal
summons uttered to 'scome forth and die"
Day after day passes, filling them with
little fresh hope, to be bitterly dash
ed as now and again another victim or
two. equally buoyed up by the long de-
lay. is beckoned out to the awful pain.
This, we say, is not punishment, bat
tyranny; and Justice repudiates the in
Fiction, even upon the vilest, of torments
so slow, so wearing, and so fatal to all
spiritual amendment. The agonized
creatures whom NJ Thiers thus keeps
at his convenience have we understand,
presented to him the most dismal petit
tion ever signed. They beg that he will
forthwith either order them in front of
the firing parties or commute their SEM
tences; for they declare with truth
which common humanity must endorse,
that this prolonged suspense is much
worse than swift death, and beyond the
right of government to infict. In the
name of society which has little reason
those at Satory, the whole civilized world
calls upon M. Thiers to leave his guns,
promenades, and philosophers for mo-
ment, and attend little to that pray
er of anguish. Europe itself is utterly
scandalized at the way in which these
wretches have been kept like rats In a
cage, two or three being dispatched by
bullet from time to time, to frighten
Paris and content the bourgeoisie. II
is absolutely barbarous taire la pOtitiqu'

to that which causes certain animals to
prey on others of their kind when torn
by hunger. The man who was shot will
prove no loss to the community upon
which he fed by violence; but, judging
by the tone of the New York papers,
there was a universal feeling of disap-
pointment that the incorrigible bravo
Reddy again escaped the fatal bullet
that menaced him so near.

NAKED VENUS BY THE RIVER
A POETS MASTERPIECE.
A SATIRE.

A poick sat in his attic bare,
A-viewing the things around him there,
"a real shabby hole is this" said he,
"For such a famous poet as me-"
rickety table before him stood,
Der which candle shed its light;
There sat this poet in pensive mood
Until the wee sma' hours o night.
Still sat he there in his night-shirt bare;
But ladies, don't blush, 1t covered him all,
Save his long slim limbs, which under his chair
Were twined about its legs.
His eyes flashed fire as still he sat;
His back was curved just like cat;
His bony fingers tore through his hair
AS If to hunt some animals there.
Then suddenly he grasped his pen,
And swore by all the gods of men
That all the world should know his fame,
And every tongue pronounce his name.
'In write my masterpiece" said he,
And brought his fist against his head
an write them something awfel grand,
That'll spread my fame DER all the land.
perhaps Samantha Jones may then
Think me as big as other men,
Jehovah and ye gods above,
What powerful thing is lowell!
Now, whatll call my grand effusion?
Ugh I'm beginning to shiver.
Well let me see, III call it
Naked Venus by the River"
Then he stuck his pen right in his ink
And dug his head to make him think,
. And quickly wrote, in language terse,
: This touchingly tender little verse:
80 mother, may 60 down to swim?''
Oh, yes, my darling daughter;
Go hang your clothes on a hickory limb,
But don't go near the water"
His fame did spread o'er all the. land
You hear his verse on every hand; g.
By either sex, both old and young,
You hear the verse most paintive sung.

and within its borders lies that immense
inland salt water sea which has excited
the wonder and admiration of the world.
The population of the entire Terrific
ry, now exceeding 100000, lies in the
belt of the country extending from Salt
Lake, the Jordon and Utah lakes on the
west to the Wasatch mountains on the
east, and as far south as the head-waters
of the River Virgin, which falls into the
Colorado after passing through Arizona.
This belt is about one hundred and six
ty miles in length, with an average
width of sixty miles. This population
is largely made up of Mormons, or of
those favorable to that bigoted and non
markably rich in mines, and it is conf
IDENTIFY declared by old miners that as
rich gold leads exist in Utah as in Cali
fornia. But the policy of the Mormon
Church has been from first to last strong
ly against the development of these in
terests. for very palpable reasons. The
opening Of rich mines would cause an
immense immigration into the country,
and of such peculiar character as to
demoralize the disciples and ruin the
prospects of the hierarchy. Until the
Pacific railroad was pushed through the
country this policy was maintained
The little settlements that sprang up
along the line of the road were made up
of rough go-ahead people, who cared
little for Brigham Young or his COM
mands. They soon discovered the wealth
which nature had SO literally bestowed
upon the country, and went to work to
profit by it. They have already, with
in the narrow belt mentioned, prospect
ed enough to warrant the statement be-
fore made that Utah, in mineral wealth,
especially gold and silver, is second to
no other possession of the American
Union. And yet hardly a quarter OF
the area of the Territory has ever been
explored while the remainder is liter
ally terra incognita to even the gov
ernment surveyors.
But thanks to the energetic restless
ness of our Western emigrants, this igno-
rance is not to be of long continuance.
