The Death or James Fisk, Jr.

The telegraphic dispatches elsewhere
announce the death, by violence, of James
Fisk, Jr., who was shot down by an assassin
named Stokes, in one CT the most public
places of New York city, on Saturday
afternoon, and died Sunday morning, from
a mortal wound in the abdomen. Stokes.
who fired the fatal shot, it is alleged, was
Fisk's rival in the affections of Miss Helen
Josephine Mansfield, who had n suit on
trial against Fisk for SANDER, in which she
and Stokes were both on the stand as wit
nesscs on Saturday. Miss Mansfeld's
suits and threats to publish her letters from
Fisk have been the. subject of protracted
litigation and newspaper gossip for weeks.
Fisk. it would appear, had, by his master
" manipulation of the machinery of the
law. %triumphed with injunctions in this,
as on many other noted occasions, driving
his rival to madness, with the fatal result
now chronicled. The career of Fisk is
well known. A few years ago he drove a
pedler's cart across the hills of Vermont.
He has since passed through such a career
as no other adventurer has over run, al
ways buoyant and nearly always successful,
whether by fair means or foul. Miss
Helen Josephine Mansfield, or Mrs. Law
lor, as she is sometimes called, as the wife
of the actor of that name, is represented
as a sweet syrcn,a gorgeous adventures,
whose silks aud diamonds and rare beauty
matched the mcteoric brilliancy of the
career of the "Prince of Erie" Stokes.
the assassin, is n married man, about
thirty years of age, and is only known to
the public recently in connection with the
Mansfield affair. The end which has been
reached is the natural climax of such a
career as has marked the lives of the re-
speetive parties.-BdLineorc San.

Christmas Esarssems.

The following petition was. on Christ
mas day, addressed to His Excellency,
Governor Brown, BY the officers of the
P~enitentiary.
The undersigned, officers of the Peni-
Tertiary, respectfully ask your ~lIxcellency
for the following Christmas gift pardons,
viz: Abraham Burket, white, of the
county of Washington j. G.. Scalf, white,
of the county of Davidson John S. Wal
ker, white. of the county of Knox Ellis
Mclean. colored, of the county of MaIlEy.
THE above prisoners, by uniform good
conduct, have given unmistakable eYiden=
ces of reformation, aud we believe the
pardons, for such reasons, viii hapesa salu-
tary effect upon the morals and discipline
of the prison." z,5=
For the reasons stated in the latter part
of the above petition, says the Union and
American, it has been customary for the
officers of the State prison to ask of the
Governor, each Christmas, pardons for
those, who by Uniform good conduct, give
signs of repentance and reformation. The
same, paper adds:
In reply to this petition, GOV. Brown
sent a letter to the officers of the prison,
refusing to pardon Burket, who had COM
mitted the murder for which he was sem
fenced without any proYieation. and while
in a state of intoxication. ''Thejuryha had
given him credit for being drunk, mas
much as they5spared his life, by returning
a verdict of twenty years. Imprisonment
Of which he has served FIVE" The Cover
nor, among other reasons for not granting
the. pardon, stated that 1.-The last five, or
six years had developed such a disregard
for human life, that mercy to murderers
must be meted out with a sparing hand"
and that while he could not doubt the
of the officers in asking the par |
don for reasons given in the petition, he
received Information from other
that led him to know there had
been no cause for, and no palliation of the
murder. except whisky"
Burket, who is thirty-three years of
lge, was sentenced to twenty years I'M
at the July term Of the Cir
,uit. Court of Washington county, for
Josiah Conlcy.
John s. Walker was convicted Of horse
by the Circuit Court of Knox
at its June term in 1866, and
eHtenced to ten years Imprisonment.

men of education and good social standing.
DR.. Whitesides is a respectable physician
Mr.. Mitchell, a Captain in the Confeder,
ate service, is u man of good social posi-.
ton. His counsel frankly admitted he
was a member of the Kuklux Khan. Many
witnesses, themselves members of the or.
der, declared him to be the Chief of the
Mitchell Khan.
1t was not shown in the trial that either
of the accused participated in raids at
which the more shocking atrocities were
committed, but that they raided to pre-
vent negroes from voting the Republican
ticket, and influenced" their victims, by
severe ~whippings, was sworn to by mem
bers of the khan as we'll as-by the victims
themselves.
The written constitution and bylaws
| of the kuklux khan, sometimes known as
the Invisible Empire of the South
avows its purpose to be ..to oppose The
principles of the Radical party" 1t re-
quires each of its members to provide him
self with ga pistol, a kuklux gown and a
signal instrument" "a whistle). 1t avows
It's purpose to preserve the Constitution Of
4 Jul -IDiGtdNuClO III ~ tothIs NAidL 10
ignoring the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments, and it further de-
clares that any member ''diyulging the
secrets of the organization shall suffer
death"
Many witnesses have declared they
were induced to join the order Believing
its aim to be, simply, for mutual protee-
ton, but finding tito be a political orgai-
cation, they abandoned it. Others joined
it with the understanding that its object
was to put down Radicalisin, which they
further understood was to be effected by
whipping negro Radicals and killing white
ones.
A marked feature of the trial was the
number and terribly convincing testimo-
ny of confessed members of the kuklux
order. Many of the details Of raids made
by the khan, with which the accused are
charged with being connected, are per-
baps more shocking and revolving than
ever before were given from the witness
stand. Ihave hesitated whether the par
ticulars should be exposed to still greater
publicity, and l am, at the present writ
ing, convinced that a knowledge of these
facts will aid in the formation of an intel
ligcnt public opinion respecting this poll
tico-social sore that has afflicted the State.
A remarkable bit of testimony that first
came out on this trial, Was that the fe-
males of a certain household, married and
single. assisted in making the horrid dis
guises in Which these kuklux were clad on
their midnight raids. 1t was their Gus
tom to disguise their voices as we'll as to
conceal their persons, and a %favorite trick
of these masked and long-horned Williams,
was to scare their too credulous victims by
declaring that they we're C~onfederates that
were killed at Manassas. Don't kill me,
gentlemen" said one beseeching victim.
Don't call US gentlemen We are just
hell. and have to hurry back to
breakfast"

BISMARCK.
His Estimate OF Napoleon.

NJ. Jules Favre has published his diplo,
matte experience. The following, relating
to his interviews with Bismarck. is of in
terest:
At another interview N. Favre again
limited that Count Bismarck was only the
tool of that imperialism which Prussia
meant to impose upon France. The reply
is not only marked by the blunt frank
ness of the spea ker, but it assumes his
t%orical Importance by the light which it
casts on the views and political creed of
the Count and lis master:
"You deceive yourself. I have no
reason to like Napoleon III. I do not
deny that it would be convenient for US
to keep him on the throne but personally.
[ have ne reason to praise him. If he
lad SO willed, the two nations could have
been sincere allies. and acting together,
they have given the law to Europe. He
has tried to deceive everybody, and |
never trusted him but did not wish to
fight him, as | proved in 1867, during
the dispute about Luxemburg. Ali those
about the King demanded war, and l re-
sisted them. even rendered my resigna-
ton, and thus cast a slur upon my own
reputation. [ tell you all this only to
prove that [ had no wish to go to war
and war would not have taken place if it
had not been declared by you. 1t seemed
to me that France was determined to
Gght.
When l heard Of the anger which was
shown about the candidature of the Prince
of HohenzollerD, | was alarmed by the
determination of your ambassador, NJ.
de Benedict, to treat with the King alone,
He troubled the King and. knowing this,
1 advised q policy which should give you
satisfaction. When l learned that the
King, following my advice, had obtained
from his cousin the Withdrawal of his name
as candidate, [ wrote to my wife that all
was over, and that l should join her in the
country. Great, therefore, was my sur
prise when [ heard that the trouble had
recommended. Our side did not show
systematic hostility like the French Gov
ernment, which was determined to have
war. The cause was TO be the hunlilia-
ton of the King-a humiliation to which
he could not submit. And to this mo-
ment [ cannot stand such infatuation, es-
pecially when displayed by such men as
NJ. de Grammont and NJ. Olivier. The
former was always second rate diplomatist
and NJ. Olivier was an orator, but no
state | have already told you that,
had it been to our interest to re, establish
the dynasty of Napoleon, we would have
done it, or we could have set up even the
Orleans Princes, or NJ. de Chambord, who
was more to our taste-at least to that of
the King, who thinks much of hereditary
right. AS for me, l am altogethee i'm

Government is good which does not satisfy

ARRIVAL OF FIsK's WIFE.

Shortly after, Mrs. Fisk, his wife, and
Mr.. Morse, his fa~ther-in-law, arrived and
went to the bedside of the sufferer. Mrs.
Fisk was greatly agitated. The scene was
the most heartrending that bad yet taken
place, and those present could not restrain
their emotion. The doctors were APP
pealed to by the wife to give some little
hope. but they gently indicated that they
dare not say there was any chance of life.
GOODNESS OF THE DYING MAN.
Fisk was not much moved at the
moments he was conizant of surroundings,
but seemed never deserted by the cool
ness and fortitude he had displayed when
first shot. At halfpast eight o'clock the
doctors consulted again, and at 0 o'clock
the suppressed excitement about his bed
was almost too intense to bear. The rapid
ity of the decline showed itself more
strongly than ever before.
At 10 o'clock there was eager and hush
ed whispering, in every ear, as it was told
that the end was drawing near. At 10i
he layiscarccly knowing that there were
any ministering TO him he looked at the
opposite wall and noticed no one, and a
quarter of an hour afterwards breathed his
last. At 2 o'clock the remains were re-
moved from the hotel to the residence of
the deceased, No. 313, West 23d st.

DEATH OF FISK.

joining Mr.. Fisk's rooms Jay Gould was

sensation and regret. No unkind word
was heard of the dead. On the contrary.
many tongues r%ecounted the numerous acts
of kindness the deceased had performed.
At half-past 6 o'clock Mr.. Fisk said
something in a broken tone, and then
closed his eyes. The change in his face
had become more apparent, the pallor was
more deathlike, and moisture appeared on
the forehead, the pulse being then over
