The StOkOs Case.

New YORK, July 11.-In the Stokes case the
testimony will be all in to-day, after which the
lawyers will talk. Doctors Tripler, Shine and
Buck were examined this morning, principally
as to the administering of morphine to Fisk.
DIR. Shine, for the defence, testified that they adj
ministercd 100 or 1870 minimS Of morphine, and
Fisk's condition became such that they had to
deSist.
MIR. McKeOn wanted to show the bad condi-
ton of the probe used on the deceased. (EX-
cluded)
On the cross-examinatiOn, DIR. Buck said that
Fisk's death was not exclusively from shock,
and again that he would have died at any rate
of the pistol wound.
After recess, Thomas Hart again took the
stand, and said Stokes might have come in
when he went up stairs to wash the spOng
which he used in cleaning the window.
The district attorney said, chat is our case,
your honor"
Mr. Tremaine asked Patrick Scarf if he said to
the parlor man at any time or place, "we'll
make plenty of money"
mo, Sill" answered Patrick, 81 did not say
anything of the kind"
Defense then called DIR. Howard in, surrebut-
tai being shown. DIR. Trpler's probe, he said,
was broken in two places and unsafe for use,
and might produce bad effects by probing
wound with il.
TO Mr.. Fullerton The probe, if not broken at
the time OF using, could produce no bad effect;
being broken at the top end would render the
probe less efficient, the necessary rotary motion
not being able TO be given.
D. G. Farwell, apothecary, who furnished
opiateS, was examined as to the quantities or
dered.
Henry D. Corley, the parlor man, testified in
answer TO Mr.. DAILY: patrick Hart said to me,
We'll make plenty of money out of this; he also
told me that the bullet found fitted one pistol,
but did not fit the other.
TO Mr.. Beach, cannot say what time he said
this. 1t was the same evening; there were a
good many people around; can't say who was
present; Hart said the bullet fits the black pistol
found on the stairS-Stokes pistol-but does not
fit the other pistol.
Tremain then commenced to sum up for the
defence, and consumed the rest OF the day.

AN ICE FAMINE IN BROOKLYN.
New YORK, July 11.-There is IN ice famine
IN BROOKLYN, and great suffering among the

panies say that the strike Of the laborerS is the
cause, but the fact OF their doubling the price
last week, without notice, and qnadruplius tine
price yesterday for the few hundred pounds on
hand leads the BrooklyniteS TO believe they are
repeating the game of former years.

NEW YORK, July 11.-Horace Greeley was
serenaded this evening at the Lincoln club
house by the liberal republican state committee
About fifteen hundred people were present
When Greeley made his appearance on the
piazza the cheering lasted several minutes.
Greeley stood smiling down at the upturned
faces while Grafulla's band played Hail to the
chief" He then bowed and retired without
speaking a word, and the wild shouts aud
clamors of the gathering failed to bring him in
sight again.
Gov. Brown of Missouri was to have been
present, but business detained him in New Ha-
ven. Three or four of the national democratic
committee appointed at Baltimore 10 notify
Greeley of his nomination, were present, and
were introduced TO him. Addresses were made
by Major Haggerty of New York, ex-senator
Mallory of Kentucky, Henry o. Kent of New
Hampshire, Mr.. Trumbull son of Senator
Irumbull of Illinois, Mr.. Norris of Tennes-
see, Col. Crisp of Missouri, MIR. Hathaway of
Massachusetts, aud others. They all pledged
their different states to give large majority
for Greeley and Brown
Col. Crisp said almost all the eX-rebcls would
vote for the Cincinnati platform nominees, and
very large minority-and perhaps even ma
jorlty-of the cOlored people of the south would
do the same. Ex-senator Mallory said he could
not see what the democrats had to gain, even if
they elected Il straight0ut democratic president.
The questions that divided the liberal republi-
can aud democratic parties are extinct, never
to be resurrected.

New YORK, July 11.-The Herald believes
the democrats at Baltimore made the wises
nomination in their power. 1t welcomes the
straight, square issue proposed between Grant
and Greeley. ItsayS: "The Herald has hitherto
supported Gen. Grant and his administration
and sees no reason yet wholly to condemn or
abandon them. There is yet time for Grant to
avail himself his great popular strength, and
stay the tide again by cutting loose from his
surroundings, and adopting policy of his own.
His administration cannot afford defeat in Il
single state election, and should commence its
reforms before the first of August"
The World says: "Iu faithful fulfilment OF
the pledge which the World constantly respected
since its great disappointment at the surprising
nomination at Cincinnati, we bow TO the deci.
sion of the democratic national convention, and
loyalty accept Greeley as the democratic candi-
date for president" IL says it has objected to
Greeley's adoption because his fierce iuvectiVes
against the democracy will make it difficult for
democrats to turn short corner and support
their most violent asSailant
We deprecated the nomination of Greeley be
cause his denunclatOns seemed 10 make him
the most Incorporating connecting link be-
tween the hide-OOund democracy of the past and
the liberal, progressive democracy of the future,
and we still believe that the party has no chance
OF success unless it can carry the former ele-
ment along with it. Greeley'S election depends
upon the suppot of that portion of the democratic
party which would never have proposed him as a
democratic candidate. 1t deprecates abusing
the antiGreeey democrats, and says unless
these can be won over the campaign against
Grant is utterly hopeless. The great object is
harmony and uuanimity.
