Washington, May IA new
Assistant Attorney General Spen-
Ger made his debut to-day in an
opinion asked by Treasurer Spinn-
er whether the abolition OF the
franking privilege after July l
would be construed 80 as to prevent
the transmission to and from Wash
ington of registered letters con-
tanning currency for redemption:
His opinion briefly that it would
not, is of greater importance than
appears. It is the wish Of the
Secretary that as fast as fractional
currency or legal tenders become
worn they should be exchanged for
new notes. The government al
lows, on paying the ordinary pos
tage, that all such letters may be
registered free, so that no one may
have any excuse for keeping dirty
money. An adverse decision would
cut off this privilege, now ayailed to
large extent all over the coun-

stokes once More.


For some time Stokes has been
kept out of the papers, but his case
ia again attracting attentiOn. Stokes
killed Fisk IN January, 1872. A
year afterward he was sentenced to
death. Then. came motions for .
new trial. and the motions are be-
ing argued and reargued, and if
finally granted second sentence
win doubtless DO pronounced, if at
all, in the course of year hence
Then the counsel can ask q stay of
proceedings, and If refused by one
Judge can prefer the same request
in regular order before any or all
of tho thirty odd Supreme Court
judges who deal out justice spar
ingly and at remote intervals IN
the State Ate! this there is still
left the Court Of Appeals, to which
the condemned man can take his
case for further delay. Altogether
there is rather poor prospect Of
Mr.. Stokes suffering from strangu-
lation for some time to come. The
Graphic has . versifed soliloquy
which ssDoesticks'' puts into the
mouth of Stokes, and in which he is
made to say:
I've my dainty cigars in my rpeted cell;
Ny library, pictures. my champagne IS well,
For Delmon leo serves me each delicate nseal,
And for me there 10 never lack Of "Green
Seal.''
The rope is for Foster aud Nixon and King,
Who are vulgar and poor. and All that sort
But cash will meier let . gentleman swing.
The srope' seems by no means
sure. for Nixon, however, as he has
also gone into the courts for stay
of proceedings and proposes to
slight it out on that line if it takes
all summer which it probably
will. IL The others were executed af-
ter so long delay that the lesson
lost its warning, and the example,
so far as the moral effect was con-
cerned, might about as well have
been omitted. When win courts
learn that punishment to be salu-
tary must be speedy, and that JUS
tice and safety alike demand that
delays now practiced shall be put
an end to?-Inter-Ocean.
