A JUST CRITICISM,

The Richmond Di$patch Of the Sth saws
':Ihe closing scenes of the Stokes trial were
both novel and disgusting. The manner of
Stokes was extremely offensive. He was
hardened and impudent, being unrestrained
bya single mark of good breeding or decency.
His upbradiug of both the counsel for the
prosecution and the jury was in keeping with
his bearing throughout the trial. The craven
conduct Of Mr.. Fellows, one of the counsel
for the prosecution, in attempting an apology
to Stokes, was contemplate, and no one could
sympathze with him under the rude answer
he received from the obdurate and brazep
criminal. The scenes were such as to excite
wonder amongst simple people at the pecu>
ilarities of New York justice.
One thing may be said creditable to the
jury-viz., that they were proof against the
browbeating of Stokes and the stumpspeech
he was strangely allowed to make when called
to the stand to make statement. He is one
of the most hardened of criminals. The his.
tory OF his relations to Fisk prove him to DO
most depraved as we'll as a most vindictiye
man. and the jury rendered in his case most
righteous verdict.
AZ Edward S. Stokes has been found
guilty of the murder of Col James Fisk, in
New York, and sentenced to be hung on the
2Sth day of February but it is not certain
that the sentence will be executed. His
counsel have filed exceptions, and the re-
sources of skillful attorneys are well>uigh in
cxhaustibe. The new Governor of New
York, General Dix, will, in the last resort
be powerfully memorialized to extend execu-
tive elemency. But as public sentiment in
New York hes become somewhat excited as to
the insecurity to life resulting from the prac-
teal impunity accorded to murder, it is be-
lieved that General Dix, like his predecessor
in such cases, will let the law take its course.
GS- Six members of Pinchback's Senate
withdrew from that body on Friday and Joined
that Of the tusionists, thus making quorum
in both branches of the peoples Legislature.
The movement has created lively stir in po-
litical circles in New Orleans, and it was as
serted that other members would desert Pinch
back on Saturday, probably breaking up his
quorum. The address to the people by the
six converts is an interesting document.
ES" The Stanton Spectator says: "Mc-
Chesney & Nadenbousch will add wing to
the American hotel, extending back to the
creek, and giving them 70 additional rooms,
They will also erect row of double cottages
on CARRIERS Hill, and connect them with the
Hotel by wire suspension bridge over the
Railroad. This will make it the finest Hotel
property in the State, capable of accommodate
ing 500 guests.

arm, and they concluded to wait reasonable
length of time to see if the leg could be so
