Whatever may have been the private
character of James Fisk, Jr., says the
Nashville Banner, or however rePrehea
sible his conduct in business affairs, there
can be but one sentiment in regard to
his murder: 1t was a cold blooded as
sassination. The murderer, we are told.
pleads justification for his bloody deed,
as if anything could justify the shooting
down a man, without a word of warning,
and when the victim was totally uucon-
scious of impending evil. The private
wrongs, if any, of the murderer must
not be weighed in the presence of such
a dastardly crime.
Let Fisk's failings be hidden in his
grave; in his death New York loses one
of its most enterprising business men.
When Summer time comes round and
pleasure seekers HE away for rest and
recreation on the plymouth Rock" and
the floating palaces of the Souud-mouu
ments of the enterprise OF the deceased
"a pang of regret viii force itself on
thousands that James Fisk, Jr., is no
more.

Upon examination of the last Report

of about two million bushels, in compari
SON with the crop of 1870. We think
