A New YORK wri'er argues against the
death penalty on the score of the excessive
cost to The community of ca ital trials.
Such trials as those of Foster and Stokes
cost the taxpayers enormous sums. Years
are often consumed, when this writer ar
CUES tbat months would suffice If the penal
ty were only impris onment for life. The
announcement by telegraph this morn
ing that Edward Stokes has been awarded
still another trial Cor The murder Of DANES
Fisk on Jan. 6. 1872, gives some cogency TO
the views Of this writer.

speech from Gov. Baxter.

Speech from &OV. BaXteF.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, June 10.-Gov,
Baker was serenaded by the Capital
Guards and large number oflcitizens to-
night. He responded in half hour speech,
stating that be did not construe this into
personal ovation, but one inspired by The
friends of law, of order. he said he would
not dwell upon the unsuccessful effort to
oust him and overturn the late government.
He was beset with spies and foes inO his
own political camp. He deemed it wise to
call on those not of his own political house
hold to uphold the government. When he
took upon himself the oath of office, it was
no unmeaning vow, but one made with the
intention of faithfully discharging the duties
of the position There were some who be-
lieved he had consented to te inaugurated
when another was elected. In regard 10
that he would say that the validity Of his
election had been submitted to every tri-
bunal in the land, suspected OF having pow
er to determine it, and further, if there was
any fraud in his election Re was neither
cognizant of or privy to such wrong doing
Had bis competitor been duly declared
elected, no man in the State would have
been more willing to respect his authority.
When the matter was presented to the leg
islature, that body, including both political
parties, decided in his favor, and when in
the face of this authoratatiye declaration,
an effors was made to go beyond the con-
stitution by applying for quo wIrranto
against him, when that right had
been specially given to the
legislature, it was reasonable to suppose
conspiracy had been formed to eject him
from Office without regard to the merits OF
the case. Under these circumstances, and
with a further knowledge of the Intention
of the bad men, he had put himself in po-
sition to meet force with force. 1t was
source of happiness, however, that no COD
flict arose. While rumors of a great civil
commotion were being spread broadcast,
not ripple disturbed the peace and order
at home. He thanked God, while we had
suffered some from the acts of these bad
men, that we have preserved the
dignity of the law, and that hence
forth the people are determined to put
down every reasonable demonstration that
may be made. In the future he would be
guided by the same principles as in the
past. BE expected to remain faithful TO
his party. He Vas Republican not only
In name but in principle, but at the same
time he returned thanks TO the Democracy
for the manner in which they had sustained
him. In his future administration he
should faithfully adhere to that great fun
dameptal principle, the equality of all men
before the law. At the conclusion OF the
Governors speech the crowd dispersed.

TRUE HOSPITALITY.

pray you, oh! excellent wife, cumber
not yourself aud me to get a curiOusly rich
dinner for this man and woman who have
alighted at our gate; or bed-chamber made
ready at too great cost; things il they are
curious in them, they can get for few
shillings in any village; but rather let this
stranger sea, if he viii, in your looks,
accents and behavior, your heart and earn
estness, your thought and will what he
&nnot buy at any price in any city, what
he may well travel twenty miles, and dine
spariDgly, and sleep hardly to behold. Let
not the emphasis of hospitality be in bed
and board; but let truth, and love, and
honor, and courtesy flow in all thy deeds.

A CORRESPONDENT, writing from Lon
don to a Baptist paper, says: Another
thing which strikes an American as
strange, is the fact that all classes drink
here. At the dinner of the Baptist Union,
at Spurgeon's church, decanters Of wine
and pitchers of ale were on the table, and
all the brethren took freely. They seemed
to think that while water was good to bap-
tie in, it would not do as a sole beverage
at dinner of Baptist preachers
