TIE STOKES CASE,

The trinl OF Stokes, which terminated on
Wednesday in,his conviction Of manslaughtor in
tho fourth degree, is tho latest mockery Of the
forms OF Justice. Tho sentence Of tho Court
WIS tho extreme limit allowed BY law, four years
in tho States Prison at hard labor. Had tho
Jury acquitted tho prisoner altogether, tho farco
would not have boon moro glaring. In fact. an
acqmttal might have bcon attributed to On hon
est doubt Of tho mans sanity; but his convic-
tion Of granddaughter excludes Ill suggestion Of
irrosponBibility, admits the killing, aud then
awards four years. imprisonment for q
mos.a fdolborate murder. There las hardly
boen murder committed in this country which
was 40 barren Of extenuating circumstances rs
tna murder Of Fisk by this man Stokes. It was
i mean and cowardly murder; 1t WAS a deliberate
and premeditatod murder. Since tho murder OF
Abel BY CAIN. thoro has been no killing more
deliberately planned or moro coolly, executed.
Thore was nothing to lift this man Stokes above
stokea' relations to tho woman Mansfield
TINT WAS calculated to lift him above
tho level Of any other lbortino quar-
re1ing over the hire OF his misttoss. OF
tho threo FiBl, Stokes, and Mansaeld), Fisk
was in oyory sense the superior; ho WAS un-
scrupu1ous, yain, and concoited tAoy were mean,
sordid, cowardly, and murdorous. Fisk was
good-natured reprobate; tho othsrs we're pro-
fessora Of tho panel game. Tho malo prostitute
at least murdered tho man who refused to .bo
1oi5 in 4 md
shot him down deliberately, maliciously, and
cowardly. Thia man has boon throo times tried.
| Twice, after the most vigorous efforts
! of able counsel, and with oil the
| aid that tho lavish expenditure Of
money could purchase, lie was convicted of mur-
| der and sentenced to DO hanged. Twice by tho
anne meana did he escape death, on tho plea Of
infornality in tho proceedings Of tho trial. We

The only debts decreasing through
prosperity, thriftiness and the capacity to
raise taxes in excess of expenditure, are
those of the first two groups, the Anglo
Saxon and Teutonic, embracing as they
do the most active and industrious
nations. Their joint debts constitute
about one half Of the whole, and Austria
alone excepted, they are the freest from
internal and external compilations at
present. In the Latin group we have
France and Belgium, whose Indebtedness
is also considered perfectly safe by reason
of high state of civilization and indus
try, and no lack of activity, although
France cannot be classed politically
safe. The Slavonic group shows modeI 2
ate total of debt, and as matters stan at
present, inspires full confidence. Of tn e
semib arbarous nations Japan and Egypt
by reason Of almost unlimited material;
resources, are considered good, although
by no means politically safe. The re-
naming Latin and the Turkish debts
| inspire the least confidence Of all, both
from want of capacity to raise taxes and
on political grounds Italy, Portugal
and the Brazils rank highest among
them, but are open to internal complca-
lions nevertheless. Of the various debts
the German will probably be the sooner
extlnguished. The French debt, thou gh
large, is furthermore considered safe, as
it is mostly held in France, ackno wledg-
ed to be one of the richest countries in
Europe.
Full capacity of taxation is observablo
in three quarters of the aggregate debts.
Where such capacity is wan ted, or where
the raising of taxes is not vigorously and
honestly carried out, there is gradual
incl case Of debt, which social conyu'-
sions may obliterate altogether sooner or
/ later.
The true principle seems to be to ex-
tinguish an extraneous debt by special
internal taxation, England applied this
principle to the extinguishment of the
CrimeRn war debt, while France simply
passed the Crimean Indebtedness to the
debit of the great State book, fer which
the Napoleonic regime" was much bIam-
ed at the time, as we'll as for similar small
err war debts subsequently incurred and
reated in the same manner.
