A FISK SERMoN.-Rev j. 8. Berher, preach
ed sermon at Poughkeepsie Sunday on James
Fisk, Jr He said Mr.. Fisk was the product of
three forces, the Erie Railway, the Supreme
Court and the State Legislature they made up
one worse than he. The scum, filth and de-
graduation of New York boiled up and stopped
over into the State Senate. There was eminent
fitness in the method of Fisk going out of be-
ing. The harlotry of law made him, and the
harlotry of a woman betrayed him and the jeal-
GUS revenge of a fellow criminal killed him
The murderer should be hanged by the SEN
tence of the corrupt judiciary which has sold
itself over and over to crime. A corrupt Legis-
lature should impeach and imprison the Judge
and then painfully derelact public, repentant
for past carelessness, should rise in majesty and
cast from them with adherence every man
from the Governor down tainted with crime
and see to it that none but honest men admin
lister them. sd ,.-f.fsssi.,- r..s. sltfts ' l

The excitement caused in Michigan and
other States two or three years ago by decision
of the supreme court of the State against the
validity of town and county bonds issued in
aid of railroads will be wildly remembered
The legislature was called together in special
session and submitted an amendment to the
State constitution meeting the objections of the
supreme court, and making it lawful to issue
such bonds. The amendment was defeated by
the votes Of towns whose faith had not been
pledged, and the question was carried to the
United States circuit court. A decision has
just been rendered to the effect that the bonds,
having been issued in! good faith, and transfer
red to innocent purchasers, were legal con-
tract between the citizens of Michigan and
other States, which the federal courts are bound
to enforce. The DECISION applies only to the
bonds issued before the law was declared to be
unconstitutional by the State courts That
declaration would be in the light of notice to
buyers, and subsequent contracts would not be
enforced. As no after issues were in fact made
this renders substantial equity and covers the
entire debt. al Is iEll q

The rumors SO busily circulated, that the COM
mittee are really striving to stfle investigation,
or that the inquiry is prosecuted on both sides
in a factious spirit, seem to be almost unbound
ed. We have hardly ever known body of
men, differing SO widely in their political asso-
Citations and aims, to examine subject SO
closely connected with political prejudices in a
manner SO cordial and courteous; and we can
ascribe the great, though partial success which
has already attended their labors, only to the
general candor and sincerity of the Senators
themselves None of them can fairly be ac-
cused of showing any disposition or desire either
to suppress or to distort facts.

STOKES Defense Burleigh" of the Bos-
ton Journal says their are some startling posi-
tons to be taken by Stokes counsel when the
matter comes to trial. The one is that Col.
Fisk was not only armed, but that the wound
in his body was inflicted by himself-inficted
a Ia Vallandigham, in attempting to draw his
pistol from his pocket That two pistols were
used is very clear, from the fact that two bull
lets were found, one in Fisk's body and one on
the marble pavement, the one bullet fitting the
pistol found and the other not. The bullet in
the body fitting the pistol found. The bullet on
the floor, which produced the wound in the arm,
not fitting any pistol yet produced. The theory
is that Fisk, coming in at the door and seeing
Stokes on the stairs attempted to draw his pis-
tol, when it accidentally discharged at the same
moment when he received Stokes's bullet in the
arm. The parties who removed the outside
clothing of the Colonel are yet to be produced
in Court: The woman who handed the pistol
to the officer is yet to tell how it came into her
hands, with other interesting testimony to show
that Stokes did not fire on an unarmed man.
But two persons witnessed the shooting These
were two hall boys of the Central Hotel who
know what was going ON, or deliberately per-
jured themselves, as they fatty contradicted
each other and their own testimony on the
stand In the proper time, and before the
proper tribunal the action of the Coroper's
jury will be tested. Above all the proceedings
of the Jury in consultation will be investigated
One man on the jury was not summoned. He
came unsolicited He said that he was on the
Matthews inquest, understood such matters,
and wanted to go on the jury; so he sat at the
inquest. He was found to be special enemy
of Stokes, and pledged to look after the inter
ests of Col Fisk. On entering the room for
consultation the jury was presented with YER
dict drawn out in the strong form of an indict-
ment, in which the shooting was set forth as
''killing with malice or forethought" and other
well known phrases of an Indictment. On this
verdict the jury were divided, six and six. The
gentleman referred to, acting as counsel, insist
ed upon the adoption of the verdict with its
strong phrases as the only thing that would
satisfy an indignant public Others contended
that the object of the inquest was not to try
Stokes-not to anticipate his defence, but sim
ply to ascertain how Fisk came to his DEATH
The debate lasted over three hours, and ended
in compromise by which the word sdeliber-
ate was added to the simple phraseology of
the verdict 3D..

The DEMOCRATIC TIoKET.-The Presidential
question is still prominent one in the private
Congressional mind around Washington 1t is
rumored here that the leading Democrats have
agreed upon Gen. Hancock for President, and
B. Gratz Brown for Vice President. But as the
Southern unterriaed want Joe Johnston, of
Confederate army fame, for the second place on
the ticket, don't see how the Northern hreth-
rem will reduce the muddle unless they surren-
der to them. Nobody, however, believes that
the Democracy will stand any chance to elect
their candidates, and in this case the passive
policy comes in very pat. But if they should
elect them, the best men of the Republican par
ty are convinced that four years of uninter-
rupted Democratic rule would enable the South
ern States to place themselves upon stronger
war footing than that they hello in 1861, and in
the event of another rebellion it is difficult to
foresee the result. 81 ,-c7g .saat e. Ia.
