Mr.. Armstrong, of Braeken, of the
Kentucky Legislature, has prepared a
bill requiring sheriffs to advertise all
real estate levied on by them in news

lished therein. 1t is now in the hands
of the Committee on Revised Statutes.
and we hope will be favorably reported
upon. Such law has long been needed
in Kentucky. There are few States
which have not such law. Local laws
have been passed, from time to time, re
quiring such publications in different
counties of the State-in Boyle, Lin
coin, Bath, and others and they have
given general satisfaction. 1t is the in
terest OF both debtor and creditor that
extensive publicity should be given to
sales, so as to induce competition in bids,
and this can be done most effectuallv
through the columns Of the county news
paper. The publication by written or
printed handbills, pasted on a few doors

The President we want.

The stirring article from the Brooklyn
(N. y Eogle (Democrat,) seems to
strike national Republicans forcibly
Here what the New York Sun says
about it.
That able organ of the New York
Democracy, the Brooklyn Eagle, lays
down very suecinct and practical plat
form for the approaching Presidential
campaign, in the following sentence:
Let it be understood that we do not
want Democrat to be elected next fall
half so much as We want a gentleman, a
statesman, and a man of honor, no mat
ter what his politics, elected over nepo-
tist, gift-taker and corrupt head of a
notoriously numerous and corrupt fami
ly."
This is the feeling of the best portions
of the people, and of intelligent Republi-
cans as well as Democrats. The sort of
President we have now they are sick
and tired Of They want a gentleman,
and man of honor. And they will have
him.

The Stokes Trial.

The Stokes trial which is going on in
New York has developed some curious
features of legal chieane and impudence.
Graham, the counsel for the defense
and the ablest criminal lawyer at the New
York bar, has moved to quash the indict-
ment upon the ground that the coroner
admitted no evidece to show that Fisk
was armed at the time of his death, The
defence, says a correspondent, has mapp
ed out its course, and this is the first
step in it. The next will be to prove
that Fisk shot himself while attempting
to draw his pistol; and if this fails, it will
be made very clear to the jury that Stokes
shot his antagonist In self defence; that
Fisk pursued him from the Opera house
to the hotel ''in a carriage ten yards IN
advance, aud placed himself at the foot
of the steps in hostile and dangerous
attitude.

were crushed almost in two between it
and the boiler He remained in this
condition for three hours, and suffered
iDdeseribable torture The cocks in the
boiler had been Knocked off and all the
water therein let out This, added to
fact that the fire In the engine, by its
peculiar position, could not be put out,
made the boiler all the hotter, johnson
had not only to stand the terrible pain
caused by the crushing of his legs, but
also suffered from the heat. He was
badly burned, and begged in agonizing
tones that somebody should knock him
in the head with an AK and end his mise
ry. DR.. Eve had, in the meantime, been
sent out to the wreck, and was actually
compelled, after having tried every other
possible expedient, to cut off Johnson's
legs with chisel, in order to extricate
him. johnson prayed for death, and
expired soon after he had been taken
from the engine. lie had previously
had the misfortune to have one of his
legs amputated below the knee, and wore
a cork foot, which doubtless prevented
him from jumping off and saving his
life. He was about forty seven years of
