Our dead comrades" " The army of the

They showed the rare quality of fortitude in
diversity, for aoybody can be brave in sue

Army of the Potomac, and whatever may be
the fate of this government, the great cul
mnating victory Of this army sh wed that
1t never could be overthrow by iorce In
concluding Col. Benton paid high compli-
ment to ex-Gov. Holbro0k, who conducted
the affairs of the State during the two most
discouraglng years of the war. He knew
that IN one of the darkest hours of the
struggle, when the great heart Of President
Lincoln was faint. no voice encouraged him
SO much 10 make the calls for the men who
closed out the war, as that Of Frederick Hol-
brook. He therefore proposed his health.
Gov. Hobrook spoke teelingly of the emo
tions of admiration and sadness with which
he saw SO many brave regiments go forth.

Geo. H. BigeIow. of the Free Press, was
called out and made capital speech, though
he claimed he wasn't expected to "put in"

down, however, without referring to the at
tack male upon the press in Judge Poland's
speech, and that the Congressman was wrong
in his cond ,mnation He believed it gcner-
ally true that the press does not criticize men
unless they deserve it, and the editor who
fails to denounce what is wrong, in high as
well as low, loses his own self respect, and
fails in his duty to the public.

pressed to have GOV. Hobrook deliver the

SroKEs.-Last Wednesday the third trial
of Edward S. Stokes for the mul der of Fisk
was concluded. Judge Davis having charg
ed the jury they at S ga P. Nj, retired
About 10 IL O'Clock the jury came into
court, and asked what constituted murder in
the first degree, and what was the punish
ment for murder in the third degree The
Judge advised them, and they retired. Al
ll2O the jury returned, after being out six
hours. The usual formality having been
gone through with, the Judge asked if they
bad decided upon a verdict. The forema q
said they had. He said " We find the
prisoner guilty Of manslaughter in the third
degree" The announcement was received
with loud cries OF joy from the prisoner
family, and the counsel for Stokes looked de-
lighted, and Dos Passos was moved to tears.
Tremaine asked that, prior to sentence being
pronounced, he be allowed to consult with
his client He was permitted to do So. He
thanked the jury and SAID they had a fair
trial. Alter few MINUTES absence, Stokes
was brought up for sentence. Judge DAVIS,
10 pronouncipg it said (: 10 rendering this
verdict, Stokes, the jury have exhausted and
more than exhausted all mercy 10 your case.
No appeal to this Court can diminish the
sentence from the highest penalty affixed by
the statute in the degree 10 which you are
convicted, and that is too light and apparent
ly tr,alng as compared with the great crime
YOU have Committed. l do not desire to
make any further remarks on this case, but
shall impose upon you all that the law con-
iers upon me power to give, and l only re-
greet that that sentence cannot be more ade-
quate to the crime which rests upon your
guilty head. The sentence is that you be
imprisoned at the State Prison in Sing Sing
at hard labor for four years.
Stokes was then surrounded aud embraced
by his male relatives and friends, and instant
iy hurried off to the Tombs. His female
relatives swere not present at the sentence.
He was taken to Sing Sing Monday.

SENATOR CARPENTER. Senator Harlan
IN the Washington Chronicle, continues to
defend Senator Carpenter from the criticisms
passed on him by the Republican newspapers,
and says they appear resolved to persecute
him into prominency, to which even his BRILL
liant talents might fail to elevate him in the
absence of such unsought assistance, ard
that they viii complete his reelection as
President of the Senate pro tenn. as a means
of vindication from unjust aspersions. We
hope the Senator is right.

A Hard Winter.

The disaster at the money centers OF the
nation is coming to be felt in all our borders
All the pecuniary interests of the country
are SO interlocked and Iinke1 together that
if one great enterprise suffers all must suffer
It is not true that only bankers and brokers
go bankrupt in this unprecedented time OF
failures and sbrinkage of values. The
staunchest business men 10 every department
of production, manufacture aud trade feel the
pressure. Manufacturers are overtakIng their
orders, buyers are carrying small stocks oil
goods, the wages of hundreds OF thousands
of operatives are being cut down aud other
hundreds of thousands are finding themselves
thrown out of employment. And winter Is
close at hand. If there be no work how
shall the poor be able to endure the winter
A hard winter seems inevitable. Storehouse
and barn are filled with plenty. Famine
does not stare US in the face. But what OF
the poor who live one day at time, whose
receipts at pay day hardly meet outstanding
bills. and who may not see another pay day
for months?
Will the enforced idleness of the coming
winter entail evils worse than want? Will
dissipation and crime prevail all the more or
will the time of extremity become most
gracious opportunity? 1t certainly becomes
all professed phlanthrOpists and earnest
friends of mankind to do the 90 good Samarl-
tans" part in tue winter before us. Deal
kindly with the many suffering unemploy-
ed poor Retrench and give help.
But the winter of want before US should
impress many of the poor with certain les
sons for the future. With all kindness and
with no feeling that we are better than the
poorest, with none of the " l-told-you-so
spirit, we do say to multtudes Of the pen
niless, now losing their work and their
wages, it need not hare been SO. Not that
the opera ives could have kept the factory
running, but tOur.ffts of the mechanic
whose occupation is gone 50 suddenly mi eht
have been in circumstances to have survived
one idle winter in tOlerable comfort. The
few years past have been a period OF good
ments of work 1t should have been i'm
proved in saving something against g this
rairy day" IL may not be the peculiar
duty of the poor to avoid waste and extrav-
asance, bat 1t is peculiarly unsafe for them
not to mind any and every wasteul expendi-
ture. 1t is sheer folly to say that DAY
laborers, average IN, chanics, could not hav'
saved some of their wages 10 the recent past.
Sickness doubtless has consumed the saving
of some. All h DnOr to the honorable anu
wor by poor. But the multitude have II"
formidable doctor s bills to plead. On thu
& easy come, easy g." principle they have
ea:en aud che sed. and drinked, and danced
aud wasted generally. And now as they
'' begin to be in want a mighty famine OF
work occurs in the land.
Here is a sample bill. Look at it.

The election of McKinstry TO the Supreme
b nch in California IS regarded as almost
certainly securing Governor B,oth's election

Colorado has astonished herself by casting

recent election Tor members itne legislature,

George Hawes & Co., who bought her of the
government or Si2 600. The ships length
IS $40 feet, width AZ feet and eight inches
and the hight of her mainmast 100 feet.
She is very finely built, and, being under

she is expected to prove herself very fast

Kong, Shanghai and Yokohama She is a

| the American trade. She has a Capacity of
400 tons, and has been placed in the highest
Classification by the Lloyds. Her builders
promise that she shall make the passage to
Hong-kong in ~ days-remarkable quick

SUICIDE Edward B. Tuxbury, a son of

Windsor, committed suicide by shooting

on Tuesday afternoon, Oct 18th. He was
about thirty years of age and has been re-
Gently engaged as a commercial traveller for
Boston house. Tbere are conflicting stories
about the deceased, some OF which are to the
effect that he was unable to drink much, and
that after using intoxicating liquors he was
accustomed to take morphine. Persons who
saw him just before he committed the fatal
act, say be appeared to be in a stupor. He
IS said to have endeavored to enlist at the
navy yard, but being unable to do 80, came
out OF the y. rd and shot himself Another
story is that he had some $40 about his per-
sun day or Two ago, aud nad ON a fine suit
Vt clothes, which are now missing.

Here is sample bill. Look at ii

Now multiply this by ten (years) OF five
or three and the result, if available at
savings bank, would keep the wolf from any
mans door one winter.
And the average wages OF mechanics have
been amply sufficient for ten years to enable
day laborers to save this amount. 1t is not
the salary or days wages. but the habits OF
saving and laying by which settle the ques-
ton of pennilessness or comfort when work
and wages stop. If people won't try to save,
if they are not willing to pay the price, even
self denial, IN order to be ready for the day
OF want, then they must suffer IN poverty
For such there is no help but charity. Ii
families will they can easily spend all 1t
seems that some people just plan TO use all
whether it be much or little. But how
much better to wear the same hat the year
round, to forego this piece of fnery and 60
along with that palmer fabric, to occupy
humber and cheaper tenements and to eat
fewer dainties in order to be measurably in
dependent when a crisis comes.
And this lesson if we'll learned will prove
well worth the tuition. There are doubtless
other years of plenty with occasional panlcs
and periods of non-employment About
once in ten years we may expect a crash in
monetary matters. 1t does not come with
the ioreseen or calculable regularity of an
eclipse. 1t sometimes is harbingered witt
certain and visible and audible warnings
Again its coming surprises all. Who sup
posed this lightning would strike Jay Cooke
& Co. first or among the first? But crises
come and they doubtless will come. w
may hope all affairs will get into a settle,
state after a few months. Spring will b,
gentler than winter. But when work revive
and wages return and pay-days come again
will extravaganza and waste also come
Will the sand builders of the past years he
come wise and build on the rock of savin,
in the future? Saving, at whatever cost il
self-denial, is the one absolute, invariabl
condition of competence.

Ii. B. CLAFLIN 4 Co. in consequence of try
themselves short for money. The course of
the firm had been such that meeting was
held Monday by the bank men and measures
were being taken to give help when a note
from the firm stated that they had made such
arrangements with creditors as would put
them all right. The creditors had met that
day and found the assets of the firm to be
So, sos 600 and their liabilities SIS 5S4, 900.
This favorable showing Induced the creditors
to give the firm five AID hail months more
time, after which payments should be made
monthly. This enables the firm to 90 On
with its business. The determination of the
mercantile community to support Mr.. Clafln
may be due partially to their grateful re-
mbrance of The honorable course of his
house in 1857. At that time, Clafln, Mellen
Co. were obliged to suspend but finally
agreed to give their notes for 10 per cent
running from three to six months, and after
that to pay the remaining 80 per cent, if
possible. TIE firm not only paid the 20 per
cent, with intesest, and aiterward the 80 per
cent, with interest, but Mr. Clafiin hunted
up the original holders of the paper and re-
lmbuJsed them for any sacrifice to which
they might have been subjected by it's sale.
He is said to have paid $240. 900 in this way
more than was required in law and honor.
