the Grand Central Hotel, New York, and

Hotel, rested his pistol against pillar in the
House, and fred twice, both balls taking eff
fect-the fatal shot being in the abdomen
Stokes and Fisk had been partners In bust
ness operations, and were also rival suitors
for the favors of gay, dashing and beauti-
full syren, named Josephine Mansfield. DIFF
6cuties followed the rivalry; business con-
nections were broken between the men, and
a suit instituted against Fisk by the woman.
The case was being heard that day, and it
was very apparent that it would break down.
Stokes became frenzied, and hence the assas-
sination. Great excitement prevailed
throughout the city. Fisk's regiment, the
9th, was very much concerned, and threats
Of lynching the murderer we're free among
the men. It is estimated that Fisk's bro },

to his wife, with the exception of donation
of ST. 900 to his regiment, and an annuity
to his father and mother and several neices.

FALLACIEs.

A capital error is committed by the cx-
IRENE friends of the Funding Bill, in charg-
ing that any modification of that act is repu-
dtation of the public debt This is either
wilful Misrepresentation, or glazing stupidity.
No action Of the Legislature justifes any such
conclusion. On the contrary, the reverse is
the fact, for resolution, unanimously adopt
ed by that body, declares that such an idea
is not to be tolerated This ought to be suf-
fcient to quiet the nerves Of these guardians
of the States honor But this is not what
they want. There are deeper interests to
consult, which are foreign to any ia which
the State is directly implicated.
Some friend has sent us the synopsis Of a
speech delivered by Senator Herndon in sup
port of the funding bill. Reputation is a
man Of straw which the Senator sets up that
he may have the heroic pleasure Of knocking
it down again There is nothing in this view
Of the case. It is merely a fancy figure en-
ployed to consume the foridity Of Fourth of
July eloqucnce, now somewhat out Of date
The Senator places great stress on the..credit
Of the State. To Thoughtful persons, that is
not really impaired by any action of the Leg
islature as yet The debt she owes is as safe
and secure without the funding bill as with
it. The opponents Of that measure believe
u - ,oxx,o otbor ~, MO oor bo Jo,;eaA ~ nav
it, without causing ruinous sacrifice Of pro-
perty. To force the payment Of compound
interest in the present financial condition of
the people, on two-thirls Of the debt, would
amount really to more than the interest on
the whole of the debt, inasmuch as it would
force the sale of property at half Of its real
value. There is no bargain to the taxpayer
in any such result as that.
Senator Herndon calculates On large in
crease of taxable resources for 1873. Let the
tax bill be brought out first, and then we can
see the facts. "Counting the chickens before
they are hatched,'' is not the mode to ascer-
tain the number
As to capital that is respected to food in
upon us as the result Of the funding bill, we
have no faith in that. Capital is greedy ,and
wherever it can be made to pay it will stick.
Excessive taxation will do more to keep it a.
way than anything else. IF railroads, incomes,
&C., are to made furnish the deficit reported
by the LIST Auditor, after paying the July in
terest, would not that have che effect of keep
ing capital out !? Railroads will certainly
constitute the most prominent agent in bet
tering the condition of the State, by enlarg-
ing the basis of taxation. But will capital
seek investment in them, if they are to be
taxed so that the profits will be nominal unless
the rate Of freights is increased il proportion
to the increase of taxation? In that event,
it would all come off the people, and especi-
ally the producer, at last
