The same is true of others,.but these two most prominent are recalied to my mind at this moment. ARCHITECTURE, &c. The seareity of imposing brick or stone etrac- es aud the great preponderance of frame buildings, particularly in those portions of the city devoted to private residences, is apt to im- press the visitor from the east unfavorably ‘There are of course some creditable exceptions to this rule, In several of the hotels, the Mer- cantile Library building, and in many of the bi 28 blocks, both brick and iron are used with ‘ine architectural effect, and the new Mint building of Oregon stone, now nearly complet promises to be in every way worthy of the gov- ernment and the use to which it is to be applied. in the case of wooden buildi: & good il of elaborate ornamentation ts used, which is pieas- in one sense, but the effect fails to carry with it the idea of durability and substance which one is apt to associate with the more im- posing and solid stone and brick houses of the eastern cities.

APOLOGETIC. Many other pointsof interest present themselves, but I forbear touching upon them here for the reason that I see by copies of Tae STaR which have reached me that the letters heretofore sent occupy more space than I supposed they would. They have proved, I fear, too long for the pa- (lence of the reader,—certainly too long for the limited room the for such —— has to spare matter. I can only say in extenustion that I had not time enough to make them shorter. ——— The Hung Jury in the Stokes Case, SCENES INSIDE THE JURY ROOM. ‘The following particulars of the proceedings ofthe jury inthe Stokes case are given: On Satarday evening, when they first retired to deliberate, a ballot was taken which resulted in seven for murder in the first degree, three for acquittal, and two for man-slaughter in the third degree, This state of affairs remained util the jury came into court and got Colone! Fisk's clothes. The clothes were all tried on one of the jurors, and they arrived at the con- clusion that Fisk had both bis arms enveloped in Lis military cape at the time Stokes fired, and con. equently that the theory of Fisk drawing pi wer ahumbug. ‘his influenced the three for acquittal to veer aronnd for manslaughter in the third degree. The medical testimony was thrown out altogether, all believing the wound mortal from the first, and the question of insanity wes barely referred to. There was along discussion ax tothe premeditation. All the jurors were of the opinion that Stokes never Went to the Grand Central Hotel with the pr meditated design of mecting and kills isk. The ceven Jurors who were for murder believe that when Stokes met Fisk on the stairs, in & moment he formed the design of killing Fisk, and that this second was sufticient time for meditation. The five jurors stoutly maintained that Stokes pulled bis pistol in the heat of pas- sion, being stirred to frenzy by the sight of Fisk, and that his crime was only manslaughter the third degree. The debate on this point became quite excited, and some harsh words were used on bok sides, but to no purpose. Firm to their opinions they all remained, and at last fell asleep, but awoke = precisely the same state of mind. Finally they gave up the dispute, seeing there was no hope of alterin, ther opinions. it is the opmion of severa jurors that if they were allowed to bring in a verdict of murder in the second de, or ma’ slaughter in one of its bi; , they Would arrive ata verdict, but this was not al- wed, as the Judge charged them that they should either find @ verdict of murder in the frst degree, manslaughter in the third degr Gr Rey uitta: in a few days.
