DEVOTED TO CHARITY.-Since the passage
OF the salary steal bill by Congress, several mem.
bers have conscientiously refused to accept
their increased pay, and one or two, at least.
although not leaving it in the Treasury. have do.
mated their extra allowance to charitable in.
stitutions. The great and good ex.Delegate

which has been Get apart and reserved for the
purpose. the Board negotiated for piece Of

STOKES CAsE.-The telegraph informs US
that the new strategic movement on the part
of Stokes counsel has proven successful: and
that Judge Brady has issued the order applied
for on the part of the condemned murderer re-
curing the District Attorney to show cause
why the judgment record in the case should
not be amended. The amendment which is in
sisted on is that the record should, OF course.
DO more favorable to Mr.. Stokes. and as we
understand it is, that the afiidavits of newly
discovered evidence, and others affecting the
qualifications Of one Of the jurors who found
Stokes guilty, should be Incorporated in the
record, and be reviewed by the court Of last
resort; but whether or not those afidavits
were used on the motion tor new trial we
are not informed. Fisk's friends have no
doubt aided and assisted the prosecution in ev-
cry manner possible; and they have probably
not been very scrupulous in the manner in
which they used money to procure convic-
lion; and Stokes family and friends have
doubtless pursued the same policy, in their en-
deavors to shield him from the punishment due
for bis crime. Whether or not Stokes will sue
coed in getting new trial is hard to predict,
but il j. safe n assert that. should he fail, he
can have no ground to expect Executive Glenn
ency at the hands Of Governor Dix. That of.
6ciaI, BY his course in the Foster case, demon.
strsted that he intends the law shall take. its
course.

CANDIDATES FOR PREsIDENT.-fwo OF the
lenders Of the Radical party have already put
themselves in training for the Presidency, in
1876, and the rivalry between the two became
plainly apparent during the discussion OF the
Caldwell case in the Senate, each taking oppo-
ate sides. One of these aspirants is Senator
Morton, Of Indiana, who is without doubt the
mouth piece of the present Administration ana
who is as morally corrupt as his body is phys'-
cally diseased. The other is Mr.. Conkling' OF
New York. the turkey. cock of the Senate. who
chimed in with jim Nye in demanding that a
stou be nut to investigations into the corrupt
practices of Christian statesmen. 1t is also
ru,nored that Speaker Blaine, of the House,
h.s. for some time past, had his eye on the
Presidency; and that be has been quietly lay
inc pine in his own interest. He is probably
the least Objectionable Of the three But what
are they going to DO with Pomeroy, Brother
Harlan. Colfaz and Cakes Ames Their occu-
patton, like Othello's, is gone; and two OF them
who, it was believed, had received their politi-
cal death through the Credit Mobilier investl
cation, have been received with open arms by
their constituents. Colfax is always retiring
from public life, but is q standing candidate,
and Cakes Ames claims that he has done more
tor the country than any other living man. oy
building the Pacific Railroad, and that he is
entitled to the nations gratitude: while Pome-
roy and Harlan, by the assistance of Morton
and Conkling, having been thoroughly white
washed. rely upon their pre-eminent qualltica'
tioss of Christian statesmapsbip. Then. too,
there is old Simon Cameron, who. under the code
of Radical ethics, is qualified above all others
for the highest Office within the gift Of the Rad
ical party. We can depend upon it, that,
though Morton aud Conkliug have apparently
taken the lead, they will not have things all
their own way. Ben Butler intends to have
his say before the nomination is made; and 1t
he can't get it himself he will make it lively
for some OF them, and Mr.. Blaine can depend
on the "Beast" haunting him like o spectre,
a. there is no lore lost between the two. OIL
one thing we can rest assured, and that lie,
however much Grant may desire another term,
neither Morton, Conkling nor Blaine will give
way for him.
