Four Years.

Few will dissent from the opinion
expressed by Judge Davis in pro
nouncing sentence upon Stokes, that
the highest penalty affixed by law to
the crime Of which he was convicted
is too light and positively tlirling in
comparison with the gravity of the of
tense. The life of James Fisk was as
dear to him as existence is to any man,
and his right to security from violence
as good as if no cause of enmity had
been given his murderer. -Four years
in prison may indeed seem a trivial
punishment for a crime which works
irretrievable injury to a citizen and de-
liberately set at defiance the first law
governing all society. But in view of
the uncertainty that has attended this
trial from the beginning, the inhuen-
ces that lave been brought to bear in
favor Of the accused, and the doubt
lest he might finally escape through
some loop-hole Of the law, the general
sentiment will be that Of qualification
at the ultimate decision Of this notori-
Gus case, even while regretting the in
adequacy Of the punishment. The
public clamor for the death of Stokes
has, moreover, notably diminished, if
not entirely disappeared, under the in
fuence Of long delay, and the very
persistency of the defence has worn
out the earlier urgent demands for OK
emplary retribution, until it may rea-
sonably be doubted whether second
verdict of murder would not have ex-
cited greater surprise than this excess
of leniency.
But whatever regret may be felt at
the escape of the murderer from his
full deserts, it is undeniabIe that the
last trial was more free from sensation
al elements than those which preceded
it. a morbid sentimentality kept the
courtroom filed with sympathizers to
the last, but two years of confinement
but reduced the exquisite assassin Of
the former trials to the condition of a
commonplace criminal. The fashion,
able dress, the sumptuously appointed
cell, the perfumed baths, the suppers
with wine and the game dinners, all of
which once went to show Stokes to
be man of too refined tastes for
hanging, have been unnoticed on this
occasion. Dramatic scenes in Court
have also been remark BILE through
their absence, and, however one may
differ with the jury IN the estimate Of
the degree of criminality, it is evident
that the verdict is made up with less
clap-trap to draw attention from the
evidence and the arguments. The
law is so distinct in its definition of
manslaughter in the third degree that
the only inference consistent with the
| Judgment is that Stokes shot Fisk sin
the heat of passion, without design
to effect DEATH Outside the panel
that has sworn to this opinion, few
consider it sustained by the facts and
the indignant statement of Judge
Davis, that the jury has "more than
exhausted all mercy" will find gen
eral endorsement. 1t must be regard
ed as at best a mockery of strict jus
tice, gratifying only inasmuch as it
ends trial that has at times seemed
to promise the free escape of the
criminal.

Cotton as a Power.

IF the manufacture of the raw sample
is an immense interest, its production
exceeds in value the conceptions Of the
most enthusiastic of statisticans. We
are informed by the New York Ship
ping List that during the eight years
that have interviewed since the war,
the South has raised and sent to mar
kcl twenty three million five hundred
thousand bales Of cotton, average four
hundred pounds to the bale. At
seventeen cents per pound the currency
value Of this vast product would
amount to 81, j98,000,000, which is
more than twice the entire greenback
and bank-note circulation of the coun-
try, and equal to three-fourths Of the
National debt. Whether there is still
any power in cotton as aproduct of
the soil and an article Of export, as
we'll as of domestic consumption, the
most superficial view is capable of an
swcring. How much the country at
This very day hangs its hopes on the
abundant crop Of cotton that now
waits to be moved, may be understood
from comprehending the export de-
mand and computing its money value.
The tlcecy sta pie comes forward in
the emergency to rcaSscrt It's com
handing place IN the exchanges. Grain
is demanded largely abroad in eNcep-
tional years only, but cotton may be
relied on to supply all deIianccs.
And this brings up the considera
ton Of the old-tme circuit of trade
and production, in which cotton played
so conspicuous part. 1t likewise
suggests reflections on what has been
lost to the shipping interest OF the
country in consequence of throwing
the frcighting business into the hands
of foreign owners. Had more saga.
cious policy prevailed, or even a more
intelligent one, in Treasury Depart
mcnt, some sure steps would long since
have been taken to regain that COM
merclal position which the war. the
tariff and a corrupted currency COM
bined to deprive us Of as Il nation A
clear and comprehensive mind at the
head of the Treasury Department dur
ing these eight years would have faced
the finances toward specie basis,
brought about reduction in general
taxation by simplifying the whole sys.
TEN, reformed a tariff that is the child
Of monopoly, and so shaped affairs
that the machinery of business would
inevitably have turned out the profits
of the vast cotton production into the
laps Of our own people. Instead of
that, we behold the very section from
whose bosom the whole of this vast
wealth has flowed impoverished by
political marauders and plunderers,
deliberately DEGRADED as a vital por-
ton of the Union, and held under the
shadow of standing mcnaces from a
Capitalization at Washington. 1t is
not difficult to see how and why the
industry of our people has failed to
benefit them any more.

control them. The testimony of our best cti-
zcns, of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases Of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves I'M
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unpcrceived attack Of Pulmonary Alice
tions, which are easily met at first, but which
become ncurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwisc to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes ARE rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against, ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influ-
enZa and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured
Originally the product Of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited and capable Of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

sayS-Among the conspicuous ac-
QUESTIONS which the House will re-

ing minority in the Senate of 1872,
which included besides him such men
as Mr.. Tarbox, of Lawrence, Mr..
Smith, of Springfield, Gen. Whitney,
OF BrOobline, etc. He was sent from
a Republican district then and repre-
sents what has been a Republican dis
trict now. He is clear headed and
successful business man and is the
decided choice of constituency that
this year has been disposed to closely
scrutinize the abilities and characters
of its candidates. AS an associate he
will have Hon. John Quincy Adams,
whose record as legislator is a bril-
liant one. He is good debater, a
sound thinker and Jealous of the in
terests and reputation of the State.
Hon n. p. Banks goes to the Senate
as one of the strong men of the OPP
position, and there is a prospect that
more sound sense will reach the lis.
teners in the galleries of both branches
the coming winter than bias been
heard for several sessions before.
