| Restiessness of Stokes.
| NEW YORK, January 5.--Stokes was found
| guilty of murder in the first degree Sen
tence deferred till Monday.
| The jury came into court at 11:12, having
| been absent three hours, and in reply to he
usual interrogatOries announced that they
| found the prisoner guilty of murder in the
| first degree There was a marked sensa-
ton in the court at the announcement of
| tho verdict. The prisoner turned ashy
| pale, and his sister wept aloud. The dis
| trict attorney moved that the sentence OF
| law be pronounced, but at the suggestion
of TTemain the judge deferred passing sen
| tence unit! Monday. The jury, 1T trans-
| pired, on retiring stood ten for murder in
the first degree, and two for manslaughter
in the third degree.
! NEW YORK, January 6.-Stoltes' counsel
! have determined to take a bill of ex-
| ceptions, and steps will be taken at once to-
obtain a stay of proceedings and obtain q
! new trial. Stokes will be sentenced to-day,
when he will be placed in the murdorers'
row at the Tombs.
After notice of exception to the Judges
| ruling, Stokes was asked what he had to
| say why the sentence of death ghould not
be passed upon him.
| Stokes, in reply, said he had not inten-
| tiOnaIly violated any law, and that tho
| testimony upon which he was convicted
was manufactured and perjured. Judge
Boardman then in feeling address, in
| which he alluded to the prison RS youth
+ and social surroundings, sentenced the
prisoner to be hanged on Friday the
twenty eighth day of February next, being
the shortest time that could be legally al
lowed the murderer
Several of the jury were interviewed
yesterday, and stated that they ell thoHght
that Fisk had no pistol. Two of the Jury
at first opposed verdict of murder g. the
first degree and favored a lighter punish
ment. When the verdict was rendered in
court the scene was very affecting. Stokes
friends wept, and his sister uttered a pierre
ing wall. The prisoner himself bore up
well, and remarked in strong voice to Mr..
Beach, the lawyer for the prosecution, that
he did his work we'll, and he hoped he
would be well paid for it. When the as
sistant district attorney stated that Fisk's
family gave no fee to his associate counsel,
Stokes remarked in loud tone Neither
did Jay Gould"
During Saturday night the prisoner
walked his cell, and only retired at an early
hour, when he slept until yesterday noon.
One OF his counsel then called. when Stokes
sent letters to his relatives not to appear ia
court to-day to witness the sentencing.

THE MOB SPIRIT
p.sault Upon Governor Pine chback.

assault Upon Governor Pinchback.
AS Governor Pinchback, accompanied by
Lieutenant Governor Harris, was on his
way to pay an official visit to General En-
ory at the st: Louis Hotel on Sundar, he
was most grossly insulted by some of the
chivalrous Democracy.
Passing through the crowd at the corner
of Canal and Royal streets, these gentry,
brave through numbers, assailed him with
the vilest of epithets, prefaced, as usual.
with the adiectives Radical and "nigger."
Calm, unmOved and unfinching, the Gev-
ernOr and his friend pursued their way, com-
pelling by their bearing, even from that
crowd, a wholesome respect for the inviola
bility of their persons.
If this community has not yet learned
that assaulting gentlemen. because of their
political opinions is not profitable game
to play, they are stupider than we ever had
credited them with being.

The Monetary sisuntion-Rnir, sIeet an
icicles-Wreck of Telegraph Wires
Streets Badly Flooded.
NEW YORK, January 6.-The monetary
! situation to-day was marked by increased
demand and lower rates of interest on call
| AT an early hour in the morning borrowers
| on call supplied themselves at currency to-
| gold, and the afternoon rate dropped Go s
for short time, but before three o'clock
went to 7, and closed at that rate. Prime
discounts are quoted nominally at 10 a l01s.
Exchange firm, with only limited supply;
prime bankers sold at 9k q 9ss, and closed
at 9's less brokerage some of the prime
drawers were asking 93s net. Gold opened
at llla, sold at II 7s, fell to | Ii 70, remain
ing steady at lllas 0lll2a pre- ty much all
day. Loans ranged from to tor carry
ing. Governments quiet and strong; prices,
as compared with those of SATURDAYS,
show an improvement of u II.
Yesterday morning shortly after ten
O'Clock rain storm began which soon
turned to sleet, and continued until late in
the afternoon. Everything became fringed
with icicles. No such spectacle was wit
messed in years before.
The trees were cased in ice. Locomotion
on the sidewalk became almost impossible,
and throughout the day the streets looked
deserted. About half past one o'clock tele-
graph communication with points outside
of the city was stopped
The ice froze to the wires and broke them
down. The police and fire alarm telegraphs
were destroyed throughout the city and
wire poles falling in the streets and side
walks.
The whole of New York becomes isolated
so far as cOncernes communication with
the outside world. 1t will cost $3.50, 900 to-
repair the fire alarm and police wires, and
the work can not be completed for some
time.
In the meantime extraordinary measures
have been taken to insure the prompt trans
mission of fire alarms or other emergencies.
Mounted patrolmen are kept at the station
houses, and the police and firemen are to
work amioably together in case of an emer-
gency.
No dispatches were received here yester-
day either from West or East. There was
never 80 complete wreck of telegraph
wires in this city; not even during the July
riot of ten years ago. Great damage is done
to trees by breaking of limbs from the
weight of ice. At ten last night the high
wind increased to gale from the south
west, clearing off tho dense fog, and this
morning is bright with falling thermome-
ter.
Alrthe streets having low situations in
this city. Brooklyn, Jersey City. Williams
burg, Hoboken, and other places are badly
flooded.

General Emory has received instructions

An Editorial Based on Imperfect Re-
ports Official View of the Situation
Hcre-Action of Congress-.

First Dispatchl
| WASHINGTON, January 6.--The following
is an extract from the Chronic editoriallyi
I'VE have not hestated to deprecate the
reckless or lawless action on the part OF
the Republican body calling itself the
Legislature of the State. An infringement
upon the rights of the minority can find NO
apology or defense in this quarter when
attempts were made to deprive men of
their seats because they were not in them,
and TO declare the minority candidates
elected"
We denounced the action as utterly in
excusable, SO now We hesitate not to affirm,
in view of the proclamation of Acting Gov
ernor Piuchback, published in yesterday g
| dispatches, that he If going too far and tCo
fast; that he la placing himself on unten
able grounds While the body recognize
as the legal Legislature should retain pos
session OF the State buildings and comply
with the forms of law in its action, it should
not attempt to disperse or interfere with
the opposition.
If they see fit to meet and organize what
they may choose to call Legislature; if
they gee fit tc inaugurate Mr.. McEnery and
call him Governor, and select some one
whom they may please to call q United
States Senator, let them do so without
molestation.
They may not and should not be permit
ted TO exercise power in defiance of the
orders and decisions Of the courts, but they
should be permitted to do anything and
everything that will help them to make up
and present { case for the State and federal
courts.
1t is evident that the case will have to be
heard before Congress and the courts on its
merits, and the sooner that result is peace
fully reached the better for tho State and
country.
tSecond D!spatch.l
WAsHINGTOs, January 6.-The following
is the official view of the situation in Louis
lana: The New Orleans dispatch of Gov
ernor Pinchback's proclamation OF the
fourth instant did not include the following
expression, which it is alleged that he used:
"It they" meaning the fusion Legislature,
''inaugurate an executive and exercise
governmental functions in the presence of
and in conflict with the existing established
authorities, such parties are revolutionists,
and must be dealt with ss such. It was not
contemplated to interfere with the mere as
semblage of the fusion Legislature for the
purpose Of expressing their legal status. If
such had been the case the United States
troops would not have aided to prevent its
a5semblage, as prompt orders were issued
by the President to General Emory not to
interfere, but only preserve peace.
The day has evidently been one of great
excitement in New Orleans, but has hap
PLY passed without violence.
The fusion Legislature has Assem- bled
pro forma, and probably like ceremony
will ensue upon the Inauguration of Gov
ernor McEnery next Monday.
The proceedings in the United States Con-
gress to-day indicate that the whole Qaes-
