ANOTHER BLOODY RIOT. Tte Latest Achievement of South Car olina Hupuhllcaua A HOWLINO BLACK RABBLE AGAIN, FOB A TIME, HOLD TUE PUBLIC STREETS--UNPROVOKED ' , MURDER AGAIN UNPUNISHED-INFAMOUS CONDUCT OF PABT OF THE POLICE THE UNITED STATES TROOPS CALLED OPT-WHOLESOME EFPECT OF THEIK APPEARANCE UPON THE RIOTERS THE CASUALTIES, AC. The Bccncs which were witnessed in thc streets of Charleston last caning could only have occurred under a govern ment such as has existed here aluce 1308. The riot was the diroct consequence of imbecility and want of responsibility on thc part of tboie who are charged with tho nigh duty of watching over the pub lic peace. Imbecility because no ade quate preparations were tal:?.n to prevent. it ? occurrence, and want of responsibili ty because no public officers not absolute ly independent of their constituency would have dared to degrado tho police force by using it for thc purposes to which that of ibis city has lately been put. The police force, while it contains some excellent material, includes also some of thc moat bitter and notorious partisans in the Republican party. Many of them syrryathizc openly tvith the crowd of rougns and bullies comprising the Republican campaign clubs, and some of them aro members and officers of these organizations. Only tho dey be fore the riot three of tho most obnoxious of the whole body were allowed to act. in citizen's clotbeo, as rallyers in the elec tion in which the Mayor and Alderman Mackey were candidates, and these ral lvers wero taken back on the force on tLo following day. While this sort of trifling with the peace und good order of thc city goes on, it is useless for the city authorities to expect to have, in any de ?;rcc, efficiency in the police or confidence rom the community. During the entire forenoon of yester day the bulletin board at the oiiice of The Newt and Courier waa surrounded by a crowd of.- anxious citizens eagerly awaiting additional news about tho Na ti" nal and Stato elections. As each dis patch came in and was bulletined, they would give a round of cheers, and when it finally became tolerably certain that Hampton had carried the State, despite tho negro repeating it. Charleston, their enthusiasm was unbounded. In the meantime tho ex-deputy sheriffs and Hunkidori bullies had assembled to the number of about 300 or 400 at the Court house. They seemed to be despondent over the news, until about 3 o'clock, when Worthington, Mackey and Buttz gave out a dispatch saving that Hayes and Wheeler were elected, and that Chamberlain had carried the State by 16,000 majority. Then *Ley fired up and seemed to be ready for a row. THE OUTBREAK. About half-past 3 o'clock there was x disturbance in Meeting street opposite tue Charleston Hotel, caused by the insolence of n negro to a white man. A squad of i.j.li*.ion wnrA nf nn/in dispatched to til G scene and succeeded in restoring quiet. By this time the Courthouse mob had, so to say, become red-hot. They were evi dently mad at the election returns which had been received at 7%? News and Cou rier office, and which their leaders knew meant "go home" foti tho carpet-baggers nnd back seats for renegade Carolinians. About 4 o'clock, Mr. E. W. M. Mackev came down to The News and Courier bul letin board and began to boast about th< election of Hayes and Chamberlain. Th i: provoked a discussion which finally 1er to a quarrel and ended in a riot. Mr Mackey states' that the row was brought on by a white Democrat shooting at hun This is denied by a dozen witnesses, whe say that while it ia true that a white mac did make at him, no e-hot was fired aj him, mid that a young man fired his pis tol accidentally in the air, the shot not going near him. A negro immediately rushed down to thc ex-deputy sheriffs al tho Courthouse, nearly alt oi whom were armed, both with pistols and thc blud geons which they used so freely at thi ?nlla on Tuesday, and announced tha lackey had been shot. Thc crowd im metlintely raised n yell nnd rushed dowi Broad street 1 ri thc' direction of The New, and Courier office. Tho whites stool their ground and received thc nttacl firmly. Another shot was fired, and thct a dozen in rapid succession. The blacl mob stampeded and retreated in the di reefton of Church street, where they wen met by a squad of policemen who h.u been sent to the scone upon the first rc port The rioters emptied their revolv ers while running, amt then those whi did not have their bludgeons with then tore down tree-boxes nnd paling fence and armed themselves at once. Th police forco with.their Winchester rifle for thc most pnrt discharged their dut; as well us they could under the circum stances. They brought in a number o Crisoners and several of the wounded ut in order to do so they had to brand ish their pistols and rifles. Very few o them fired. When the crowd roache the corner of Broad and Meeting street the negroes wore much excited. Som of them rushed to the places where the had their arms concealed. Others weri home. A large number of thc Hunkidc ri rowdies made o dash at the main cr tranco of the Stntionhouse abd tried t forco their way in, shouting "dlVE tis DUNS 1" Chief Hendricks had taken the preen tion, however, of; stationing a couplo r Imcn at the door, who with their bavonei managed to keep'tho cror?? bock. I the meanwhile a pistol waa fired by negro nt a white mftn, and this waa tb "ignai for a general volley. Tho fe white men who were in tho vicinity, i ?Hin us thc negroes, began firing, dre their revolver? nnd ,ro?^rnr?.l ?La ?r?^ Tli police were utteriy.poweriess to stop t|i disturbance. E.ery nsgro fired his pisti at every whit? m t? h'he saw, and after 'I nnd emptied bi? wc?brjn retreated to n load, lt was in this fight that Mr. E. I Walter vas billed and Mr. Geo. H.

' Li the mhfthtime tho whites had begi orally. 'They all reported at opec joe ^^nliouse,with their rifles, and ?S time ino United 'States troops, w werqsent for, had arrited, tljert) wi about ?ve hundred white citizens, who : bad volunteered to act as special police. ' Gen. Hunt, commanding the United States troops, had a conference with Chief I Hendricks, and a squad of colored police- ] men, were sent out to quell thc disturb ance, white the rest were kept under arms in front of thc main Statiouhnusc. About 5 o'clock Company E, of thc 5th Artillery, Maj. Kenne, and Company II, of thc First Antillcry, Mnj. R. T. Frauk, arrived nt the Statioiihouse. The citizen police were ordered to fall in the rear of thc soldiers. The negroes by this time had all disappeared, except iu certain localities. In thc bend of King street, nea. Market street, about 200 of them had assembled with their musket-,, and DO white facer being in sight amused themselves with firing in the air and smashing ibo windows of thc stores. A fiart of tun Hame crowd occupied Robb's ot, firing upon and clubbing white men who chanced to pass. FIRIKU ON TUE BOYS IK BLUB. Privat* Remke, of Company E, Fifth United States Artillery, while walking down King street to join his company, was fired upon by the crowd, and narrow ly escaped with his life. Several gem le rnen were shot at on their way down town, and acveral of them were wounded ami beaten. Thc character of the negroes who took part in tho riot can best be illustrated by nu incident which occurred in the Guardhouse. A negro mau name J Marcus Green was wounded in the leg. He waa also drunk. Upon being hud upon tho floor, and while thc surgeon waa attending lo the wound, the savage would rise up iu a sitting posture and exclaim : "Lemme kill one more before I die. Lemme shoot one white-..ian more." Ho was painfully but not seriously wounded. Tlie mob who had thronged the Court house, and who were mainly instrumental in getting up thc riot and continuing it, retreated up Broad street and procured their arms in au incredibly short space of time. Buttz and Worthington were in Buttz's house in Broad street, and were seen to pass out rifles to the mob. THE LIST OF CASUALTIES. As fur as could bc ascertained last night, the list of casualties footed up ono ; killed and about twenty-five wounded, j Thc names of these are as follows: WHITES. Mr. E. H. Walter, shot through the breast; dead. Mr. Geo. H. Walter, through tho left breast; dangerously wounded. Dr. C. C. Patrick, slight wound in the head.

Felix Drayton, shot in the leg. Policeman Henry Carrol, flcsb wound, in thc head. At a late hour last evening most of the wounded colored men were conveyed tc the hospital. TUE ACTION OF THE TOLICE. Dr. Cassimir Patrick gives the follow ing statement in connection with the riot, and is willing to make an affidavit of the facts : "? was standing opposite the Neu? awi Courier office when thc row com menced. After the firing lind ceased temporarily in Broad street, I heard shotf in Meeting street and went up there, nnrJ nt thc time I reached the corner of Meet ing und Broad streets, there were uc white men in that immediate vicinity While I stood by the lamppost at tnt northeast corner of Broad and Meetint streets I saw three negro policemen gc behind thc first pillar of the Stationhousi and fire nt mc with rifles at least six tima in rapid succession. I was doing nothing at the. time but quietly standing at thc corner. As soon as I found beyond i doubt thnt they were firing at me, I drev my revolver and returned th-fire and thi roliccmcn ran into the Stiitiontm inmediately after this I was struck oi the head with a brick, and turned to i colored man standing nenr by and ask? if bc had hit me. He replied that hi did not, mid that he had nothiug to di with tho row. A gentleman then cairn up and told mo that a colored man hai lifted the sash in the City Hall and hat ?lit mo with a rock and then slammed tin window again. I then went over to Capt Hendricks mid told him that his negri Slice had fired upon me several times tpt. Hendricks said : 'I have seen thei firing into the whites, but i had nothiiij to do with it, and they have had no or ders to fire upon any one.' Capt. Hen dricks appeared very much annoyed, am I am confident that he was not in th slightest degree to blame for the infn mous conduct of thc negro policemen vc ferred to. This statement ia corroboro ted by Bovcrul other witnesses, arid yet i js but justice to say that many membei of the force-the old members-bchnve w;tfi commendable courage and coolnea WHO KILLED MB. WALTER? i It seems to bc the general impressio . that Mr. Walker was killed by a polici f man. Chief Hendricks states that h i saw Policemnn Beckett and nriother co i ored tnembet of thc force firing tn tli t direction of Mr. Walter, uear the Cour ; houBC, but that they fired their pisto I and not their rifles. Another gentlemai t who was standing in Meeting street, an ! saw Mr. Walter fall, states and ia bri I pared to awear that he saw several nolie I men fire In thc direction of Mr. Waite f Mr. Wt iter waa sh-.? near thc Ccurthous r and ns ho fell was carried by Mr. C. ] f Hard and Mr. Houston to the dooraU j in Meeting street, at the corner of Cour house Square, where his body was lal i Whou it was brought to the Stationhou i lifo was extinct. It is due to Sern ? Brown, of tho police force, bi state th > he did his duty fearlessly, firing into tl i negro mob who started tho riot. Mr. E. \\\ Wultcr make, the following ?internent rotative to thc shooting of Mr. E. II. Walter, his brother : While return ing from dinner, in co mr any with Messrs. C. F. Hare, Cant. G. *' *valter, E. H. Walter and W. J. Mc . -ack, wc were attacked in Meeting street, opposite the City Park, by a mob of negroes, who commenced firing upon the party. The fire was returned by us in self-defence, and the firing from thc mob continued until a squad of negro police came out, and from the northeast enrner of Meeting and Broad streets, opened fire upon thc party with Winchester rifles. The gen tlemen then took refuge behind tree hoses, and a black policeman got behind a tree hex and deliberately took aim and fired at Mr. E. H. Walter, killing him almost immediately. Thc smnc negro policeman again fired upon Mr. E. W. Walter aud Mr. C. F. Hard, several of tho balls burying themselves in thc tree box behind which they stood. Capt. George H. Walter was shot through the left breast by the negro mob, who still kept up their firing. Tho firing from tho negro police continued until Capt. Hen dricks arrived, and under his protection the dend body of Mr. E. H. Walter and thc rest of thc party were conveyed to the Stationhouse. END OF THE UIOT. The riot, was over before 6 o'clock. The negroes had entirely dispersed from the aire?is, the wounded had been sent to the hospital, and the assemblage of armed white citizens had the effect of re storing the peace. The Federal troops were marched back to their quarters, and the streets were quiet. A detail of a half dozen mounted citizens was made to assist thc police in patrolling thc streets ; but after thc appearance of thc Federal troops theVe was no further disturbance. INCIDENT? AND ACCIDENTS. Between 7 and 8 o'clock inst night, a citizen was on his way home, and when near the corner ?if Franklin and Queen streets was waylaid by six negroes, who held him, rifled his pockets, took their contents, and uuder the pretence of find ing no firearms, allowed him to proceed homeward. Tuc gentleman had no weapon with which to protect himself, having loaned his pistol to a friend du ring the day. Such au outrage shows the necessity of a vigilant patrol being kept on thc streets, at least during the present excitable times. During thc riot Mr. E. W. M. Mackey was surrounded by a number of citizens who told him that he need fear no hann from thc Democrats, that they would stand between him and harm. This seemed to give offence to the negroes, who started to make a fuss. Mr. Charles H. CIcapor, one of the gentlemen who offered Mr. Mackey protection, received a pistol shot through his hat. A number of tho Democrats accompanied Mr. Mackey as far as they could. An infuriated negro who was acting in a very obstreperous manner on Anson I street near Society, and declaring his in- j tention to hurt some white man with tue baton he carried, attracted several young men to the corner of Society street last night, one of whom in defence of himself fired two shots at thc bully, striking him in the side and leg. Mr. John O'Neill was arrested, during the riot, by Lieut. Fordham, charged with firme the first pistol shot. Mr. A. B. Haight was standing by tho side of Mr. Walter when he was shot, and immediately after he fell thc negroes rushed upon lum and cut him with a razor iu several parts of his body. Hie clothing was literally cut to shreds. Mr. Haight says that he is ready to make affidavit that he saw Policeman Gole run ning down Broad street towards the row, with a gun on his shoulder, calling upon the negroes to follow him, and crying out: "We'll kill the d-n Democrats. THE LATEST. One of the News and Courier reporters made the rounds of thc city last night be tween the hours of ll o clock and half past 12 this morning. His route in cluded East Bay to Calhoun, thence through Washington street to Chapel, up America and around Hampstead itali, thence westward across King and through Spring streets to Rutledge Avenue, and down thc same to Calhoun, coming east to Pitt, di wn the same to Beaufain, and thence eastward to King atreet, across which he passed and continued through Hasel to Meeting streets. The entire route was gone over without Iii? having met with a single negro until arriving at thc Pavillion Hotel, opposite which, stood a noisy negro (partially drunk) who in reply to a well known citizen's advice to go home responded that "ho knew what he was out for; would go home when he pleased," and that he could change his "figure" ry quickly if any white man thought t .at he could scare him. How weil he counted upon the forbearance of the whites it may oe men tioned that, while he was making his "little speech," there stood opposite him six or seven gentleman. Assuming a beligercnt attitude, tnBP poor fool at tempted^ to draw into dispute with him the gentlemen standing upon the oppo site corner. Whereupon two white po licemen, who bad be*- watching his pranks, crossed ove- to whero he ?tooti, and ordered him to leave or accompany them to the Guardhouse. At this junc ture he was joined by another negro, who ^proposed to him a" walk down Hasel street eastward. They both then started off, muttering something to the effect thnt thev could get some of thc "boys," &c. T?he colored women in parts of the city, even very distant from the scene of the disturbance, were, as usual, in an ex ceedingly excited state of mind, and in dulged in obscene and ?inflammatory language. They paraded up and down tho streets, swearing venge?neo against thc whites. UNITED STATES MARSHAL R. M. W, i i nit ?vu Tl,12 E>irO".C""U"T ACT.-The Enforcement Acts aro at worst two edged weapons; they aro as easily turned against these who take them up, ns against those whom they are em ployed.

FOURTH OF MAKUK. THE RUABON WHY GOVEKNOB TILDEN CANNOT UK INAUUUBATEO ON THAT DAY. "If Tilden is elected to be Ibo next President of thc United States, I'll bet ?100 that ho i* not sworn in on the 4th of March." This was the remark drop ped hy a Republican in discussing Presi dential probabilities with n Democrat, whereat the latter replied, "Groat God, does your party mean revolution in addi tion io its other usurpations of law?" "Oh, no ; not at all. Tilden, if elected, will not be inaugurated President on the 4th of March, r nd for the very good rea son that it .alls on Sunday." Such is the fact. The oflieial term of General Grant ?ui Piosident expires at 12 o'clock noon on Hunday, the 4th of March, and from that timo*until the day following, when either (lovernor I luve? or Gov Goveror Tilden can take thc outh, the acting vice-President, Senator T. "V. Ferry, of Michigan, will be tho Presi dent of the United Suites. That the next President will not be sworn iu on Sunday has already been settled by historical pre cedent. The Constitution provi-'es that thc President and Vicc-Presirient of tho United States shall hold their offices du ring the term of four years, but un pro vision was made by thc framers of that instrument when thc lour years' torin should commence. By act of Congress, passed September 13,1788-thc Constitu tion at that time having been ratified by a sufficient number of States-thc time set tor the inaugur?t ian of thc first Presi dent of thc United States, and thc com mencement of thc working of thc new Coustitutiou, wits thc first Wednesday in Man h, 1789, that being the 5th of Mandi. In fact, however, tho inauguration of President Washington did not take place until Wednesday, April 30, eight weeks after thc designated time. In more than one history it has been erroneously stated that the Constitution wont into ef fect and the inauguration took place on thc 4th of March, that being neither the day appointed, nor thc actual day of either event. Before the second terni of President Washington thc day for com mencing the term of office was changed. The act of March 1, 1792, provided that the term of four years for which a Presi dent and Vice-Precident shall bc electo J, shall, in all cases, commence the 4th day of March next succeeding thc dav on which thc votes of theelectoia ahull have been given. Thc 4th of March, 1793, on which by law the f ?cond torin of Prc?i dent Washington commenced, fell on Sunday. There is no record stating ox uclly thc day on which Washington took the oath of office, but from his known character, and from the course of lifter proceedings in similar cases, there is little doubt his second inauguration was on Monday, March 5. The next occurrence of thc 4th of March in Presidential yeni falling on Sunday was in 1821, when President Monroe commenced his second term. The inauguration was on Monday the 5th. The National Intelligencer o: March 6, describes the scene, and sait tho oath of office was administered by I Chief Justics Marshall. Thc proceeding! took pince in the House of Representa lives. The third occurrence of this kim was in 1849, when Pr ..lidcnt Tyler wai inaugurated. In this instance, also, thc ceremonies took place on Monday, thc 5th of March. Next year the Presiden elect will, therefore, be inaugurated or Monday thc 5th of March, instead o Sunday, the 4th. There is no specia law bearing on the subject, but thc pro ceedinga follow the general rule that fo; legal purposes Sunday is a dies non, ant Saturday, the 3d of March, therefore onlj ends when Monday begins. Thia rule is followed in Congressional proceeding! where it has happened that Saturday'! sitting hes been prolonged until Monday the records showing no evidences of pan of the proceedings having taken place ot Sunday. Every seventh Presidentin term the 4th of March, on which tin term should commence, falls upon Sun da}'. Unle*8 there should he a change ii the duration of the term thc coin cidc-ncc will not occur again until th? year 19U5.- Washington Star. The Hampton Family of South Carolina To the Editor of the New York Sun : SIB: Thc old General, grandfather o tho present Gen. Wade Hampton-i General in the Revolutionary War, ns ii the War of 1812-was one ol' the wenlthi est planters in all the South, bavin} sugar plantations in South Carolina But he was a ?o ii man of strong passion and prejudices. His only surviving soi by a first marriage was Col. Wade Hamp ton, who had married a wealthy lady and was thc father of a large family, o which the present Gen. Wade Hamptoi was one. A disagreement occurred be tween old Gen. Hampton and his seenni wife, tho mother of three daughters, am in his anger he left them homeless am unprovided for, and went to Louisiana C\... Wado Hampton, not having tho fen of his father's wrath before him-as mos sons might have had-at onoe resolve! upon the course to which his instinct pointed. He purchased for his step mother and half-sisters the finest dwell ing in Columbia, furnished the establish ment with servants, equipages, and ever luxurv, -?nd through twelve years main mined them in every comfort to whicl they had been accustomed. At thc deal i of thc old General il was discovered thu ho had devised his whole estate, amount ing to moro than $1,600,000, to his soi alone, but, with thc unbounded generosi ty of that son's nature, he divided hi inherit anco, share and share alike, equal ly with his stop-mother and sister*, am would cousent to reserve for himself onl such a portion as thc others received Nor was Mrs. Hampton undeserving o unmindful of thc step-son's devoted sacri fices. On nu occasion, in 1838. While C?l Hampton wits absent in Louisiana, th notes of a friend for whom he wa?;en dorser nt thc bank, were protested fo $42,000. So soon as word of this event ronche her she promptly sent a check to th bank for thc full amount, at com pan io by only tho simple directions th nt Co Hampton should bo spared nil kuowledg of ti * annoying circumstance. L. GETTING RICH.-Nothing is casie than to grow rich. It ls only to Inn nobody, to befriend nolie, to get c^crj thing und save nil you can get, to stii ourselves nnd everybody belonging to u to be tho friend of no man and have n man for 'your friend, to heap intere; upon interest', cent upon cent; to t mean, miserable and despised, for eo:.. twenty or thirty years, and riches wi como as sure as a disease and disnppoiu ment. And when pretty nearly enoug wealth is cpllected by a disregard of a thc charities of the human heart and i the expense of every enjoyment save tin of wallowing in filthy mcauuess. deal comes to finish thc work; tho body buried in a hole, tho heirs dance over and tho spirit goes-where? -There is nothing moro truly inainn ting and deferential than il - wnggle of \ little dog's tail in the pres JC of a b j dog with a bone. TUE EDITOR'S WASTE BASKET. Au Invert's Valuation of Advisory and indignant Letters. Undoubtedly the most entertaining parts of editorial correspondence aro the indignant mid tho instructivo letters, ilorwinth. Billingsgate and had grammar deliberately Written out, sealed, stamped, posted, nud arriving in due courso of] mail cool and still, arc very ludicrous. Thc s talc ties J of champagne timi has been opened for some ?lays is a typo of thc let ter of wrath nud fury when it reaches the editorial hand. And if anger could ever bc reasonable, thc furious gentleman or lady would count twenty-five with Tatty coram before conunitlimg indignation to ?uk and paper. Ho,does not menu to bc ridiculous, hut he makes himself so, nnd no peals of laughter in tho busy sanctum uro ever more sincere and ringing than Umso which greet tho missive of thc in dignant correspondent. Of course, honest and simple correc tions nf statement uro of the Utmost Usc, and are in the highest degree valued hy every sensible editor. When thc con ?uctoi of thc London Times was asked how he knew the movement of public opinion, which his paper so accurately represented, he answered that he knew it by his correspondence. That was, per haps, us good nu explanation ns he could give of what is really inexplicable. For an editor apprehends instinctively, by n tact which is not to bo learned, so that, like the poet, he is born, not made. Great volleys of epistolary censure ure, therefore, not necessary to tench him that ho lins done something which displeases. Ho knows that, bc will do HO before he begins only because ho bas counted tho cost. If the editorial object bc to relied public opinion, the letters will represent only th? scattering readers who disagree, and wilone approval he expects and has already "discounted." If thc object be to oppose a strong publie, opinion, bc knows equally that thcro will bo vehe ment and gencrai protests and that, also, lie has already weighed. If, indeed, thc editor bo not an editor, but simply an occupant of the editorial chair, then ho is utterly at sea. Two letters or twenty equally confuse and confound him. Ile has no idea, and can have none, whether they represent the crochets of twenty people of public opinion. Thc editorial sagacity is that which assures its posses sor of action und reaction in public sen timent, although he cannot point out to you the detailed sources of his knowledge. In a political "campaign" he apprehends tho movement for or against a candidate or party, and knows that, to-day, thc chances arc doubtful which yesterday were favorable. To write little letters of indignation to such a man is like swear ing at the north star. It is mero waste. Tho other kind of remonstrances is thc didactic. This unusually concerns the character of the 'east which the editor provides for his readers, or consists of ju dicious hints as to his management of his own business. "Tho Father of a Family" wishes to know why the editor admits a story which he is constrained to say is far from tho-standard which he conceives the editor of a publication of such lofty pretentious should constantly regard; nut] he is sorry to say that ho, the parent, is considering whether it bo not his duty to decline to receive the work any longer. This is unquestiona bly an interesting consideration to thc parent, but he should remember that editors aro very busy men, and should therefore refrain from troubling Ihem with his men.nl processes. If the father of a family would but reflect for a mo ment, he would perhaps suspect, what is the precise truth, that for every such letter of reproof, an editor receives an other of commendation, and if he should undertake to govern his conduct by them, the result would bc pitiful. Indeed, tho same disposition must bo made of the didactic letters aa of tho indignant, and they must be dropped in tho limbo of entire uselessness.

Stokes, after nearly six years of imprisonment, was released Saturday morning at 8 o'clock. The New Y<'<rk World says : Since Stokes luis been in prison lie lias paid in lawyers' feen und other expenses nearly $300,000. He Bays openly that lind lie been Willing to pry $2,600 fur the privilege, he would not have been drafted from Sing Sing prison to A thurn. While in Sing Sing, Stokes regularly fed the offi cials and lived, in the language of his fellow convicts "like a bird/' WHAT MON KY ft ILL nu. He has no hesitation in saying now that any one with money or politic**1.! In fluence cat; do about as he pleases ia cither Sing Sing or Auburn prison. When he was hurried, handcuffed and irohed to "Jimmy thc Kid," a notorious th it f, to Auburn, he was not given a cont or waistcoat. When he reached tho prison he was shaking with the ague. He (legged to be taken to tho hospital, and Wanlen Durstou ordered him to a cold bath. Then Stokes was attacked with catarrhal lever. Ho was approached by one of tho oflioinls while helpless in his cell and told that if he paid $500 hecould got into tlie hospital. Stokes doubted, and asked for tinto to consider tho propo sition. Whon ho was ordered to cigar shop No. 2, which is called hy sonic thc bindery and by others 'IUK "RUMMERS* KKTEKA .," he met Woodford, thc incendiary, and George Clayton, the burelar, mid spoke to thom of the hospital. Woodford snid : "I can got. in there for five dollars." "So can I," echoed Clayton. Stokes handed each of thom a five dollar bank note, mid told thom to start for tho hospital. With in au hour both wcro registered on tho sick list, and tho deputy physician lind tho ton dollars in his pocket. Dr. Hoxic, thc chief physician, spoke to the warden. They had learned that Stokes paid the molloy. Then they took him into thc hospital, and he remained there up to the time of his release. He never did five minutos' work for the State while in Au burn, and never atc a mouthful of prison food. Ho paid for all that ho received, and had plenty of good food. "I might have lived cheaper at Delmonico'*," ?aid Stokes tn tho ll or/d reporter, "but there is nb use growling about it now. Within the past few days I have met convicts who, with tours in their eyes, whispered to mo : "Stokes, when you get out, tell 'em what they do to ns hero." I know what they do. THF.

On his way to this city the platforms at the stations were crowd ed by persons who wanted to seo Stokes. Women stared at him as though for dear life, and one aged .female lady presented him with a card on which was printed "Come to Jesus." Stokes ordered two bottles of champaign nt Utica, and tho party drank his health. He said that be was not afraid of any personal attack upon bim in this city. Ile took rooms at thc Hoffman House lust night. He in tends to call upon Commodore Vander bilt, this morning. He says: "No man on earth lins boen so good to mc as the old Commodore has been."

Of the worst foes that wninan'lms ever had to encounter wine ??alida af the head. Tho appetite for strong d ri rik i u man has spoiled tho lives of more women--ruined moro hoyes for them, scattered,more for tunes for them, brought thea more sor roa, shame and hardships-than 'aiiy other ovil that lives. Tho country num bera t?na of thousand:-, nay, buudrcda of thousands of women who are widows, to day and sit in hopeless weeds because their husbands have been Blain by strong drink. There ure hundreds^of thousands of hom"? scattered all over the land in which women live lives of torture, going through nlllhc changes of Butlering that lie between the extremes of fear ano. des pair, because those whom they love like wino better than they do the women they have sworn to Iovo. There arc women by thousands who dread to hear at the door the step that onco thrilled them With pleasure, for thii itep bas learned to reel under tho influence of seductivo poison. There are women groaning with pMn, while we writo these words, from bruises and brutalities inflicted by husbands made mad by stroi.g drink. There can bc no exaggeration of any statement made in regard to this matter, because no human imagination can create nny thing worse than thc truth, mid no pun is capable of portiuying inc truth. The sorrows and the horrors of a wife with a drunken husband, of ti mother with a drunken sou, nro as near thc realization of hell ns can be reached in this world at least. Thc shame, thc indignation, tho sorrow, tho sonso of disgrace for herself and her children, thc poverty (and not {infrequently thc beggary,) the fear mid tho violonco, the lingering, lifo long struggle mid despnir of couullc&s women with drunken husbands arc enough to make all women curso wine, and engage unitedly to oppose it everywhere as the worst enemy of their sex. Women, there aro some things you can do, and this is one: You may make drinking unpopular and disgraceful among the young. You can utterly dh countenance all drinking in your own house, and you cnn hold in suspicion every young man w ho touches thc cup. Yon know that no young mau who drinks can safely be trusted with tho happiness of any woman, and ho is na unlit ns a man can bo for a woman's society. Have it understood that every young mau who drinks is socially proscribed. Bring up your children to regard drinking ns not only dangerous but disgraceful. Placo temptations in no mao's way. If men will make beasts of themselves, lot them do it in other society than yours. If your mercenary husbands treat their customers from private stores kept in their counting-rooms shume them into decency by your regard for thc honor of your home. Recognize the living, terri ble fact that wine hes always been, und is to-day, the curse of your POX ; that it dries up your prosperity- that it endan gers your safety ; that ft can only bring you evil. If social custom? compel you to present wino nt your feasts, rebel j -gainst it, nnd mako a social custom io thc int?r?t??: of vii lue and purity. Thc matter is very much in your hands. Thc women of the country, in what is called polite society, can do more tb make thc nation temperate than all the legislator: i and tumultuous reformers that are strug gling and blundering in their efforts n this end. _ Been to tho Races.

Tho Cont of Making a President. "Tho American people," said an Eng lish writer on our politics, "is perpetual ly voting for .-orno election or other." Somebody, it picht bc added, has to bear tho expenso of tnese perpetual elections. Just what tho expensa is, ina general cauvrtHs Miro that which is now drawing to n close, it is difficult to estimate with any approach to accuracy ; for there are no statistics extant upon tho subject, and the politicians who plan mid conduct campaigns aro naturally reticent upon such matters. It is plain, however, that there must bo a heavy outlay of mom.y. Tho printing and distribution of cam paign documents, the rental of public nails, thc pny of stump speakers, tho purchase of bauners, torches, uniforms and other paraphernalia ; the expense of postage and telegraphing-all these are necessary outlays, and when tho extent to which they are carried throughout the country is borne in mind it becomes very npparcnt that tho nggregate must be enormous. A paragraph lins lutely been pillttcr the rounds of tho pro*"1, to the ef fect thut tho strenuous campaign in In diana preparatory to the recent Stnto election consumed $10,000,000. This is, of course, wild exaggeration, based upon a mere random gue*n. . An> estimate that seems to us not far from thc truth places tho average cc.it of a Presidential eloction at about $1,600,000 for each of the great opposing parties, or a total of $3,000,000. Accepting this ns within the bounds of probability it would seem that the ex pense of putting Mr. Tilden or Mr. Hayes i uto the White Huuso is fifteen times greater than tho whole amount of salary paid to the incumbent during Iiis term of four years. Calling the population of the country about 40,000,000, this would be equivalent to a tax of seven and one-half cents n head for every mau, woman and child in thc United States. Tho mainten ance of thc court of France for thc first year of the second empire was less than two cents per head of tho population. It appears that tho cost of making a Presi dent may bc grenier than that of keeping ii prince. Tho expenses of our elections, however, nro borne mainly by voluntary contribu* j tion. Tho burden falls chiefly on I wealthy partisans who expect to share in aoino way the benefits ensuing from the election of their catididnte. It takes the form of n tux only in tho case of office holders who are assessed for election ex penses hy tho party in power, a custom thal often falls heavily Upon department clerks ind minor officials. Tho burden touches tho people remotely, and indi rectly, if at all, while in reality they de rivo un actual and immediate benefit. Thc various devices by which their sym pathy nnd support nro solicited servo io awaken a moro activo interest in public affairs, and the masses thereby acquire thc rudiments o? political education, in stead of remaining in apathy and Ignor ance of thc condition of thc country and tho administration of tho goverr.mcnt. Great ns tho costs of our elections may be, they cannot bo lamented as an un mitigated burdon upon tho people.-JVcic Yuri: ifernhl. Difficult Love-Hating.
