TIE opening of the second Stokes trial
to-day was Similar TO the former one.
Judge Fullerton delivered an address for
the prosecution reciting the circumstances
of the shooting. In conclusion he drew
attention to the lawlessness Of the times
and said the question now prominent in the
community was whether Criminals should
be arrested and when arrested whether
they shall be punished and a stop put to
this bloodshed. Bad men regard the law
Furnishing murder with death as played
out. II this state Of things y permitted,
we shall soo1 be in q state of anarchy.

The New York Tribune, In sn editorial
announcing the proprietorship, has the fol-
loving:
ave purpose contin uing our cid battle
against injustice and ignorance, under the
same Republican banner which Horace
Greeley upheld so stO utly and so long, aud
on tile same policy Of candid independence
which it was one of his latest acts to re-
affirm, over his own signature in these
columns. Naturally we shall prefer to sup
port as far as possible an administration
which PROCESSES the party name. Such an
Administration will receive from us frank
and cordial approval of every action per
formed in accordance with the principles,
but lie Tribune is nobody's official adv0-
cate. Our party sympathies are not strong
enough to overcome our independence or
mUZZle cur honest utterances."
