The Last Hours of James Fisk, Jr

A New York dispatch of Sunday
furnishes the following particulars
of the last hours of James Fisk:
At 6 o'clock this morning the
first ominous change appeared in
the patient, although not perhaps
the first indication of his final end.
He grew Il little restless, his face
had greater pallor, and his
breathing was less regular and
easy. On feeling his pulse, DIR.
Fisher found it was more rapid,
very nearly one hundred. At 81
o'clock Colonel Fisk said something
in an under tone aud closed his
eyes. The change in his face had
become more apparent; the pallor
was more death-like and moisture
appeared on his forehead the pulse
was over one hundred, and the
Doctor stood by the bedside watch
ing his patient attentively. At :
o'clock it was announced that there
were no danger of his sudden end
ing, although his agony was still
very great. His pulse was at this
time 1870. DIR. Fisher went down
stairs III a hurried manner and
asked something of tie night
clerk, aud then went back again.
He looked very anxious.
At a quarter past Mrs. Fisk ar
rived. She was admitted first into
the ante room and soon after into
the bed room. Mrs. Fisk was ter
ribly excited at the bedside of her
husband. This scene was the most
heart-rending that had yet taken
place, and those present could not
suppress their emotion. The doc
tors we're appealed TO by the wife to
give her some little hope but they
gently intimated that they dare
not say there was any chance of
life.
Mr.. Fisk was not much moved.
At moments he was cognizant of
bis surroundings, but seemed never
dpsei ted by the GOODNESS aud forti-
tude which he displayed when first
shot.
At s o'clock there was a little
change. At halfpa the doc

The Murderer of James Fisk.

A New York telegram has the
following in reference to Edward
Stokes, the murderer of Col. Jas.
Fisk, Jr.:
Stokes was sent to the Tomhs
this morning and placed in IA cell
on the second tier, where the worst
criminals are confined. When he
heard of Fisk's death he expressed
regret, and said that he did the
deed in a state of frenzy. The in
dignation of the public finds vent
in Il general wish that the criminal
may be tried, COW iuted and hanged
without delay.
The Journal comments on the
Fisk murder, and says the coward.
illness of the act bore the first fruits
in the public mind, by awakening
for Fisk a widespread sympathy.
There is nothing in the case to dis
tinguiSh it from murder, for which
death on the gaIlows is the penalt,
if convicted.
The Times prOnOunces it muir
derons aud cowardly deed, and
will attract toward Fisk an amount
of public sympathy to which no
part of his career has entitled him.
The World says that in the act
may he seen in its most accurate
type the spirit of those marital mnr-
drrs which disgrace our preten,
~ionS to civilization, and whatever
miserable results this business will
have, it will have one beneficial re
suit. of enabling the whole land to
see that murder is murder, when
prrprtrAted under the specious plea
OF uphoding the Sanctity of mar,
riagr, and prTpetralcd with Il view
of concealing concuhinage.

tT 1t has been stated that a sin


gle vote has caused the most import
ant consequences, and that some of
the most useful Legislative enact
mcnts were adopted by bare ma
jority. The history of these various
instances would form an interesting
chapter in the legal and Legislative
annals of a country. Within our
own recollection of political events,
we know that the Governor of Mas
sachuSetts was once, if not twice,
elected by one vote. In 1852 we
think it was-in the U. S. House of
Representatives. after ballOting an
entire month for Speaker, Mr.. Fo
cock, of Virginia, was elected over
Mr.. Winthrop, of Massachusetts,, by
one vote. Many other instances, go
ing to show the importance of ONE
vote, might be stated by any old
politician possessed of a good mem

history, showing what one vote (not
cast but cOunted) has accomplished
in the history Of modern times.
1t is related by Bishop Burnet, in
his history of England that the Heb.
cas- Corpus act-our great writ of
Liberty-was obtained by jest and

= by an odd article in the House of
Lords. Lord Norris and Lord Grey
were named to be the tellers, Lord
Norris being a man subject to va
pours, was not at all times attentive
to what he was doing; so, very fat
Lord coming in, Lord Grey counted
him for ten, as a jest, at first, but
seeing Lord Norris had not observed
it, he went on with this miSreckon-
ing of ten, as it was reported to the
the House and declared that they
who were for the bill were the ma
jority: though it indeed went on the
other side; and by this means the
bill passed"

The Northern Democracy.

We have, heretofore, (since the
late elec,ionS) given the opinions
of able and true Democrats in
Maine, New Hampshire and Penn.
Sylvani1. as to the real sentiments
of the honest masses of the Party
in these States, upon the false move
ment of their leaders in the fall cam.
paignS in those aud other Northern
States. We now give an uttprancc
on the sane subject, from that
sterling champion of JeiferSonian
principles, " The Democrats pub
liShed at Oltumwa, Iowa.
These indications, to say nothing
of thousands OF others, clcar ~ show
that the masses of the Northern De-
morracy do not, any more than the
masses Of the Southern Democracy,
sanction or approve the i'raudu-
lent amendments" and that they
are ready to stand shoulder to
shoulher' with the friends of Free
Institutions everywhere, in a rescue
of the liberties of the cOuntrq. in
the contest of 1872, upon the square
issue OF Constitulonalism against
CentralSm and DeSpotism.
The Editorial referred to, is in
the issue of that paper of the 18th
inst, and is as follows:
"THE NEW DEPARTURE"
It is certainly to be desired that
those Democrats who strongly urged
the New Departure and fOr ced it
upon the party are now satisfied.
