The eighth juror la the Stokes case, by

It Ibis light sentence all tbat a man gets
Id New York City when be commits perju
ry, tod with it, an outrageous coti tempt of
court. Had a citizen ol New York City
failed to appear as wltoess or juror.after
being subpoeoed, be woold have received
about tbe same punishment. Tbera Is no
difference then between a tardy juror and
on who commits perjury aud received a
bribe, thereby permitting cold blooded
murderer lo escape tbe full penalty or bis
crime. Have not the people ot New York
Slate made a grent mistake at tbe lait elec
tion In not changing their coostitutoo so
that tbe judges would have received their
appointments Itotn tbe Governor. Would
be not appoint men tbat could toll tbe
difference between a tardy juror from one
that bad takeu a bribe and committed per
jury. Since the conviction ol Centre, two more
jurors lo tbe same oase bave bten arrested
upou the same charges bribery and per
jury and It is published and believed in
New York tbat some of tbe officers io oharge
of tbe jury furnished tbe opportunities lor
Corrupting them. We' will wait and see
bow tbe court deals with these men's oases
belore we make up our minds that tbe
judge hat been tampered with too.

ting tbe best pointt of bis predecessors
eminent lawyers escape bit notice in cu,cb
ctrelesi manner, that one would think he
also bad been riding with Stokes' brother;
but we will be more charitable in his case
nd call it want of capacity.
We tblnk now tbat Charles Dana, of tbe

Yesterday we made mention ol tho sui
cide of Leo Williams, at Oil City. This
morning's Derrick gives a lull account ol
the affair, in which the iuforcnee is Cvtried
tbat Williams was murdered ty a man ura
pd Chas. Foster, who accompanied him on
the gunning expedition. Tfcls inotniug the
chief of polioe of Oil City was ill ti.wu
looking after Fuller, who bus been missing
siuce the siriir. n was nut found here
and the officer proceeded lo Titusville and
discovered Foster and at rested him. lie
nassed trDouhg here 011 the afternoon train
eo route to Owelty. Wa ;learu that art!
cles kn. wn to have belonged to Williams
were lonhd on the person of Foster. This
would seem to indicate tbat Williams wa"
murdered lu cold blood.
A few weeks ago we auoouoced tbe fact

tbe Governor was very generally signed by
our citizeosjand bitclenitucy met with geu
eral approval.
Mr. M'Elbeney deposited the amtfunt ol
bis fine iu one of our city banks In such a
way as to secure tbs Sberitt to cute it was
not remited. Such is the (Statement made
lb us. It now turns tup tbat tbn County
Commissioners lu spite or tbd Governor's

hundred dollar deposition the nrsumptiou
tbat it was paid before tbe Governors ac
