Stokes New Trial.

We have nothing to say to the decision
of the Court of Appeals in the case Of
Stokes. 1t is not for laymen to discuss
questions of law with the bench which has
power to decide them, and no one but has
confidence complete in criticism Of an
inferior court, uttered by such judges as
Church, Grover, and Rapello. But We
have this to say as matter of public policy
and of justice that the spectacle of Stokes
still untried, in the eyes of the law, for an
act committed year and u half ago, is
mockery of justice and scandal upon our
jurisprudence. The fact of the killing of
Fisk by Stokes has all along been admitted,
The question was only whether that killing
was murder. And that question is MS far
off now from legal settlement as on the
day when Fisk was buried 1t has become
the custom to say that punishment should
be merely exemplary and not yindictive.
If that is true it seems to us that the exc
eution of Stokes after what has already
happened in his case would be of scarcely
any value to society as an example. The
men who most need such an example are
the men upon whom the example ofpunish
ment two years after the fact would have
no deterring effect, The few Of them who
are capable of connecting a retribution so
long delayed with the crime which brought
it on would cherish hopes that they would
clear all the difficulties in their course to
freedom which Stokes so nearly cleared
Stokes has had two trials already. The
first was yitiated by a failure to reach the
verdict. The verdict in the second has
been nuliied. And Stokes stands now
where he stood on the day he killed Fisk
lin the position of an untried culprit.
We say again there is radical wrong in
system which takes eighteen months,
three juries, and dozen courts, to find out
whether man in killing another has com
mitted murder or not-M T. World.

INFRINGEMENT OF THE CIVIL RIGHTs
BILL.-ISeveral suits has been brought by
colored men who had purchased tickets to
Wallacks theatre, in New York, against
Mr.. Lester Wallack, the proprietor, under
the civil rights bill ofthat State for exclud-
ing them from the theatre. The Tribune
says:
1.-THE counsel for Mr.. Wallack have put
IN their answer to the suits. 1t takes the
ground that this establishment is conducted
as private business and that the proprie-
tor claims the right to sell tickets or refuse
them at his discretion, or to revoke them
after they are sold that the tickets
in the cases in question were sold to the
colored men under the supposition that
they were buying for others and finally,
that they were not excluded on account of
their race. The defendant declines to
swear to this answer, and it was not
permitted to be filed by the court, for the
reason that the petition was sworn to, in
which event the statute requires the
answer to be sworn TO-
