CAN STOKES ESCAPEP

The telegraphic dispatches from New
York have announced with great -four
ish that Stokes, the murderer of Jim Fisk,
will now surely escape hanging because it
has been discovered that the court Of oyer
and terminer Of New York, has been held
by only one judge whereas the act pre-
| scribes that three shall be the complement;
consequently, that any action by grand
jury summoned for that court, would be
illegal; and that Stokes having been in
dicted by a grand jury Of the court Of oyer
and terminer, cannot be convicted upon
such indictment, since it is invalid from
the illegality of tho constitution of
court and jury. This reasoning must pro-
coed upon the principle we'll recognized,
that party cannot be twice put in jeopar-
dy Of life and limb. The absurdity of
such conclusion will be manifest, when
it is considered that jeopardy has not yet
been encountered by Stokes. Tho word,
in its legal accepta,ion, is derived from the
French, .jeu parti, and which signifies, a
game in which the chances are exactly
even. In law, it signifies exposure to death
or injury. Stokes has not yet been
exposed to either. The action of grand
jury by indictment, determines nothing
neither the guilt or innocence of the &C.
cused it merely charges him with the
commission OF a crime, and leaves the
charge TO be substantated in court of
justice and before a jury, summoned to
try the truth or falsity of that charge. If
the jury that preferred the indictment in
question, is an Illegal body, their action
doe, not preclude another grand jury from
taking cognizlnce Of the homicide
and presenting it before u proper tribunal.
In word, the duty Of grand jury has
not been performed at ALL il the ono now
under consideration was incapacitated
from acting, and consequently another one |
is not prevented from examining the case.
As to the legality or illegality of the court |
OF oyer and ,crminer, that has nothing to |
do with the matter. If Stokes had been |
tried for murder before an illegal court
ana convicted, then the question of jeop-
"rdy might well arise. As it is, he has not |
been put in jeopardy, and if his escape
from the gallows is based upon this Ainsy
pretence, the sensationalis,s have lost their |
labor

coi- GRoSrEYoR $ FAMILr.

WHEN Chicago went down before the
;,rosi.,ib,e aaue. Of her great conaSgra-
ton. and many thousands Of her people
were len homeless, the whole civilized
world, moved by The sublime impulse Of
the greatest Of the virtues, stretched forth
it. hand to feed the hungry and clo,he the
naked. The noble charity Of which the
"Chicago are was the occasion, will deck
one of tie brightes, pages in the history
of mankind. 1t remains for the people
of this country to supplement their kind
ness by another act not Of charity, but of
simple justice. 1t has been brought to
the notice of the public by the testimony
presented to the Illinois legis-
lature with the majority report OF
the committee on the military occupation
of Chicago, that the family of Col. Gros-
venor have been left destitute by his
death. The people of this state should
see TO it that the wife and children of the
murdered man are not only helped in the
present, but that they be lifted above want
in the future. Laying aside all consider
atoms of the constitutionaity or necessity
of the military occupation of Chicago, the
fact remains the same, that by it the fam
lily Of Col. Grosvenor were cruelty robbed
OF his affection, protection and support.
The first, it is impossible TO give back to
them; but it is the plain duty of tho peo-
pie to prevent them from suffer M by the
deprivation of the latter. And they
should not be regarded as dependents on
the chari,yofthe public, but as rightfullyen-
titled to its generous and thoughtful care.
A Grosvenor testimonial, to which every
| body who desires may contribute u stated
| amount, would be proper and graceful
way Of showing to the family of Col. Gros-
vsnor that the public deprecate his un-
timely taking off and sympathise with
the sorrow which it has caused his be-
reaved family. We make the suggestion,
with the hope that it may be acted upon
in this city or elsewhere.

The UNHAPPY TEMPER which controls
Mr.. Grant, his suspicion of all who may
appear to come in competition with him,
and his disposition to carry his personal
resentments into his official intercourse
with his subordinates, especially towards
officers of the army, is most strikingly ex-
hibited in the puerile and petty means he
has adopted to deprive Gen. Hancock of
the command which is due to his rank in
the army. For one who has distinguished
himself as Hancock has, whose record is
so good and clear, Grants conduct can
be viewed in no other light than as per.
sonal, unfair and studiously discourteous.
