'fT It is a beautiful city with magnificent surroundings, located ru arichjpleas ant section of country. Immense coal fields, rich iron ybeds and inex-; haustible quarries of slate, marble and limestone, constitute the miner al wealth which gives the " place prominence iii the industrial world. The wonderful growth and prosperi ty of the place .is due in a great in eas ttre to the energy , of; those citizens who invited capitalists to come and develope ihe- resources of ; that sec tion of Georgia. Other portions of the South might profit . if they would, by Konje's examplell . JUDGE SETTLE. . The January Term of the Supreme Court of North Carolina began oh Monday. All the Judges were pre sent.

V IMPORTANT EVENT, ' : The conviction of Stokes, the mur- drerer . of Fisk, is hailed; over the country as an omen6f a better time cpming, for. the denizens of lew ork City. That a murderer is to be punished is regarded a subject of re jO icing! Perhaps when this wealthy cfiminai is iea io tne gallows an ex . cited throng of Goshenites gathered to witness the greats event; will rend the air with their cheers' and' plaud its. As tae body of the jewel-fingered murderer swings off into space and stretches hemp; the crowd who , are gioatmg .tneir , eyes upon the scene will shout ;aver. this. triumDh , of Law - and congratulate eaeh other upon the return -of Justice i to the land, ' '--v - f - We.can appreciate, somewhat the joy of the New York people over the prospect of the' hanging of Stokes, when we' reflect that within the past three years as many as Jitp-sU mar ders have been committed in 'I New York City ; and tjf 1 th esa - cri m inals only .-a very small proportion have been; punished. Lawlessness " has reigned in the city; murders , and robberies have bee 11 the common events of the nights ;.and to walk the treets'"after dark' has been accompa nied t with; considerable f danger. Crime of all kinds has been rampant and unchecked -. The main cause "of this lamentable state of affair has been the corruption and general in efficiency of the . Judiciary. ; Judges were open to . bribery, and it was difficult . to; get Juries that - were dis posed to do exact justice. The conviction of Stokes marks an era in the criminal jurisprudence df "thej city. And hereafter the law "Thou shalt do no . murder," will be something more than a dead letter upon the statute book. , j , TIFEVIENNA EXPOSITION. U. S.
