The Washington Chronicle says AS there
has been good deal of clamor raised on the
part of the colored men that they have had no
representation in the War Department, it has
been decided to prove the assertion wrong by
official memoranda. To do this the Secretary
of War has issued circular to all the heads of
bureaus, requiring them to give record of
how many colored men have been emplt yed
since 1861, their position, and the salary they
have received The circulars have just been
sent out"

The Washington Chronicle says:-"The
Trans-Alleghany Canal Convention does not
seem to have accomplished much good. A
great deal of eloquence was expended IN de-

was to appoint committee to apply to Congress
for an appropriation of twenty millions of dol
lars. We would rather have heard something
more practical proposed" Nevertheless we
hope good will come from the effort to excite
public attention to the subject.

4 New Sensation in the Stokes Trial.

From the New York Sun September ILL.,
Mrs Minnie w. Benton was arrested on
Tuesday by order of the District Attorney, who
has information that she can give important
testimony 10 the Stokes case. After her arrest
she was taken to the District Attorneys office.
aud nearly all day underwent close questioning
by District Attorney Phelps and his assistants
She is the widow Of General w. =. Benton, OF
the Federal army during the war; and aftcrward
Collector of Internal Revenue in New Orleans.
1t is said that he married her in drunken
spree, aud he was 50 Inundated after recover
ing his senses that he drank himself to death
in few months Since his death she has ac-
cumnluated some means by speculatlngl IN Wall
street and lobbying contracts through Congress,
and lives in good style in Lexington avenue.
Her connection with the Stokes case dates
from an intimacy with Fisk sometime before
bis death. Atterward she was represented as
desiring to testify that she saw Stokes throw
away the pistol that was found i'll the parlor
near the scene OF the shooting, but District At
torncy Gavin thought it best not to put her on
the stand. 1t was elected on the first trial that
she visited Stokes 10 the Tombs, and offered to
testify for a consideration that Fisk threw away
the pistol. The prosecuting officers now say
that they expect her to furnish missing link
in the chain Of evidence that even she Is ignor-
ant of as yet. She was sent to the House OF
Detention in default of 100 bail.
Stokes said yesterday afternoon Some one
CAME to the Tombs to-day and told Iue that
new witness had been found in my case-some
one who says she saw me throw q revolver on
sofa, aud who knows that Fisk had no pistol.
don't know anything about har-never heard
Of her BEFORE and don't believe she knows any
thing of her own knowledge about my case. 1t
seems strange that such witness was not Sc
cured before this. They tell me that there has
been much noise in the District Attorneys
ofi"e to-day about it. | can't understand why
it should be so; but let them 90 on, | am to
be tried, | understand. next month, ard then
the case will be settled"
