stokes Receives His Sentence.
NO nR BANGED rEpnuARY 9srH.


New YORK, Jan. 6.-Stokes was In the
Oyer and!T d!TermIner, this morning, to re-
ceive sentence. Tremain his counsel,
made an address In relation to the bill oi
exceptions TO the Judges ruling which
he proposed to offer. The prisoner was
then asked what he had to say and why
sentence OF death should not be passed,
Stokes thereupon said he had not VIolst-
ed the law Intentionally, and that the
testimony upon which he was convicted
was manufactured, perjured. Judge
Boardman then in feeling address, in
which he alluded to the prisoners youth
and social surroundings, sentenced the
prisoner to be hanged, Friday, 29th Feb
bruary, this being the shortest time that
could be legally allowed the convicted
man. Stokes counsel were in consulta-
ton last evening and they were greatly
surprised at the verdict and expressed
their purpose Of applying at once Tor q
stay proceedings, and ultimately, II posi-
bic seek another trial. 1t seems that the
lawyers regard the newspaper and public
c.amor about tho prevalence Of murder,
as partly responsible for tho adverse
verdict. They should have deferred
the trail Of tho case at this ttme but for
the demands Of the prisoner and his
relatives,

Ye esterday's Election.

THO election Yesterday for Judge Of the
conntv Court resulted in the choice ol ~
\ COCHRAN, Esq, by handsome ma
iori,y. Capt. COCHRAN Is Nepuo-
iican, but We do no! claim his eIec'
lion as distinctly Republican victory
Aside from bis personal popularity the
result is largely due to general disregard
Of party ties. Many Of Mr. CocHRAN's
warmest and most energetic supporters
were from the Democratic ranks. The
result Is gratifying, first, because the Office
will be well filled and, second, because
the election shows that our citizens are
emspcipating themselves from The slavery
ormere party in local elections,
The Commissioners chosen in the city
are good men, about equally divided as to
poltlcs. Il the country district has done
as well AS the city, the Board will be an
excellent one. AS illustrating the In
difference to party in tho choice OF Com
mIssioners, We may mention that in four
districts there were no Republican can
didates.

BURNED TO DEATH.--[From the Charleston
wv. Ya1 Courier. On last saturday morn
ing at about > o'clock a house occupied by
IL family named Martindale, situated near
Hurricane bridge, in Putnam county, was
entirely destroyed by fire and one Of the
family, girl about nine years of age, burned
to crisp. The family consists of the parents
and five children, four Of whom were in the
house and asleep in bed at the time
of the fire. The father and mother
were both away attending a sick.bed
at neighbor's house few hundred yards
off, the former having gone for Il physician,
while the mother was devoting herself di-
rcctly to the invalid Mt the house. The fire
seems to have originated in the chimney, and
had spread in the upper portion OF tile build
ing until it burned over the beds of the
sleeping children, when Il piece of burning
wood fell into one of the beds and awOke
the three occupants thereof, who imne-
diately made good their escape without
waking up the fourth, who was in
u separate bed. The latter was sup
posed to have become either suffocated by
the smoke, or so badly burned by the fire
before Sue was aware OF its existence that
she could not save herself. A small pile Of
whitish dust where her head laid in the bed
and short piece of erisped bone of one Of
her lower limbs, were all that could be found
to tell the sad story of her fate. The upper
works OF the house were supposed to have
fallen upon the bed, which, together with
the light and highly combustib!e mattress
and coverings, generated the intense heat
that so reduced to ashes the loved form and
person Of an affectionate child.
