. THE BITTER END. Stokes Convicted of the Mur- der of Jim Fisk, A Further Stage Reached in the Great New York Drama oi Crime, ‘Bricf Resume of a Remarkable Mistory and Its Moral. E£dwnrd Stokos has been convicted by a New “York *jury, of the murder of Jim Fisk, tho sec- wond trial of tho easo. The playwrights only fol- Oow tho natural course of human evonts whon tholr mimic dramas closo with a final disposition ‘of charactors and tho curtain falls upon Vico @unished and Virtuo rowarded, But nover was adramatist 8o vonturosome and daring in bhis ;‘I‘Inghllngfl ns to group such sharp, short, and Apid catastrophes as havo ovortaken the actors n the late groat Now York drama of nssociated ‘&coundrolism and crime. But a fow months ago fhoy all boro themselves bravely boforo tho Footlights and went through thoir partsin tha foco of an audience, over whom swopt all tho omotions from startled ndmiration to indignant tromor and grave alarm. Wo have nover won- ‘dored that tho attomptof the minor thoatros ko bring out & -countorfolt present- ment of this drama of Tweed and Fiskk upof their boards, + was an mttor failuro. It necded no loss than the actual theatro of a great city and all that mado up its fadjuncts of natural greatness to supply the flold, proportics, aud beckground for the combination Aroupe that are instantly rocallod when the ‘manos of Stokes and Fisk aro rovived. Tweod Ba s tosry villain; Hall, Connolly, aud the ost, his tools ; Fisk a8 a dashing sloight-of- Emml; and, associnted with thoso, working out jum purposo of tho plot more than tho usual mtago army of reckloss men and abandoned wo- fmen, to fill up the wings and serve as a chorua. IAt ono time, not many months ago, it scomed ag \if all the old true precepts of “Bo virtuous and ou will bo happy,” * Honesty is tho best poli- cy,” ¢ A poor boginning makos a bad ending,” %i0d boon nbrogated, and that unblushing vice and opon rascality wore quilo ag safo, aftor all, w0 that tho unblushing and open features woro losoly obsorved. Tieed and his followors rifled ho monoy-chest of New York. Jim Fisk andhis- mccomplicos were plucking a stolon railroad. nch apparently held the courts in their loashos, nd the best legal talont of Now York at thoir \command. 3 ; | It wosn High Carnival of unmasked crimo, end seomed unassailablo tlroughout some of the eatlier acts, And then that vengoance tho sncionts pictured as Nemosis hogan to appear in theplot. The fall of tho Tammany Ring is ono of tho memorable events of the local Listory of Now York. The comploto discomfiture and fight of tho banded accomplices, the roaching oot of justico on this sido dnd thatihat nono phould eseape, the dogradation from his high ofileo of the infamous Judge Barnard, the death of McCunn, ore all historical. And early and Bwift with this meting out of retribution camo tho fate of Fisk, from a quarter 8o unoxpected, in an end 6o strango and startling that tho most skoptical observor instinctively rocognizas, if ho doce not opeuly confoss, s Higher then human bond guiding the bolt of vengeance. On Saturday nftornoon, the 6th of January, 1872, the writer was standing in the oflice of the \Grand Central Hotol, on Broadway, whon a pig- tol shot was heard, so locatod sé to ronder it wncortain whothor [t was within or without tho houso. Almost instantly a man of ;iunhml fig- nro ran down stairs, dropped a hurried romar to & hall-boy, ‘‘A manis shot up stairs, better Boo to him," and thon rushed toward the roar of Eho house. The sama instant a shout came from tho top of tho stnir-case, “Stop that man," mhich was easy, for thero was no exit through tho roor of the Grand Contral, and in loss timo than It takes to writo thoso finos the fugitive was firought back in custody, and placed in tho ands of the officors. All this occupied but » minuto or two, aud tho intolliganco that ¥im Fisl was the victim. and Edward Stokes the nasassin, was fying in o compnct form of nows all over Now York and by telograph to the ends of the laud, almost Leforo thoso first nerived on the epof bad removed Fisk from tha fanding on the ladies' ataircase to a littlo room nt the north end of tho-main corridor whero his lifo was to end. In a fow minutes Broadwa; was full of an eager, oxcited crowd, kopt bacl Ey n atrong corps of polico from entranco to the otol, an extra guard within holding the accoss 0 tho staircases and corridor given up to this t olosing scone. Omo. after another the syounded” man's associatos gained admission. Baoss ‘'weed was among tho first to arrive, Jay Gould camo noxt, and Loth passed into the room to the bedside of Fisk. Two slots had boen fired, ouc inflicting the mortalwound in the abdo- men. 'Tho most noted surgeons of Now York sverospoedily in attendance. Tho press ropresont- ntives came hurriedly, Tho leading Erio Rail- road asgociatos and strikors refused tobe ox- eluded. Tho tall, golemn figure of David Dudley E:u]rl and tho brisk littlo Bhonrman wero thore, 0 formor for somo minutés in privato consul- tion with tho wounded man. Jay Gould man- ifosted groat emotion, and onco was too much yorcomo to remaiu at the bedsido. Tho facts f-tho anto mortom statoment of Fisk chargin, kos with tho deed, tho finding of the piatol, @ painful suspense onded at 11 o'clock on Bun- day with the death of Fisk, will bo recalled by » ghe many who watched the courso of nows of tho vont, On Monday, Figk's romainslayin Stato at the Grand Opera House, visitod by thousanda of cu- rious gazers, aud on tho same day wero escorted thenco to bo taken to Brattleboro for Intormont. Thoro {s In ordinary casos n sentiment to be honored in respegtin tho dead, but the grave was not allowed to ahuf out the moral of Fisk's life and taking off. Not 8 word of rospect nor affection was wasted on him. Now York only slightly modified the stir .of its atreots to provide for the passage of tlo 'mock cortege, and thoee who put on the moreat somblance of mourning wore fow.

My good friend, lot mo adviso you to stick to the small fruits, corn, and . pork;. for.the world will continno to wuse thom, and somo day thoy may command & better price. I onco s0ld alond of first-rate spring whoat in Chicago for 82 conts o bushol, andsoveral hundred bush- ols of onts nt 10 conts a bushel, and then gave o heaping bushol by messure, equal to 40 pounds to tho bushel, or 13f of a legal bushel ; but I did not quit growing whoat or oats on that ac- count. Our momorics aro o triflo short asre- gards pricos @ tho past, tnd o ouly rotain those that were the result-of. short erops at tho closo of the war. Wo thon complainod of the lake-vessol monopoly, tho- Erie Ca- nal monapoly, the wildeat curroncy, and similar Then tho. .merchants overtraded and becamo bankrupts, and just now tho farmers areina tight pluco for tho same reason. With tho railroads charging more in o majorily of cases than thoy ought to and more than is thoir truo interost to change,- Whon wo go back to firat principlos, and spond Iesa than our incomes ; elect tax-payora to rogu~ latothe exponse of Government, and cut off tho robber claes, we shall bo ready to look in on the ellonnium, that is, to entor and tako possos- sion, Tho' ruling idoa In rogard to that poriod is, an exomption from labor; and that was also tho nogro ldoa in rogard to the ond of slavory and the now order of frecdom. Tho ono has not beon renlized, and the othor may not be. Somo ono_mnst run the train whén wo go picnicing in thoso_ days, aud somo ono must mino tho coal and tho iron, to keep the rond runnin% and in repair, for the Millennium will bo nothing without railroads, and our wives and daughtors must have dry goods, for without theso thoy would bomore triflos. We might pursuo_this lino of thought, but there is dangar of puilding & castlo that some cyclones might unroof and leave ua in o bad pn?\m. Hero is anothor romedy for the evils that be- sot the country; it is to SYNDICATE THE FABM-CROPS. Suaan Grovs, 1N, Jay Cooke & Oo, wero employed by our dear Unclo Sam’ to negotiate his boudsf at tho closo of tho late War, for which they recelved a small commisslon,—s good thing for both artios, for both had theroby mon- oy in thelr pockets, Is not the Industry—that is, tho farmers—nearly ua helpless as was tho nation at thet perlod, snd are we not {n the ssmo_danger of become ing servitora to tho railronds aud other monopolics s wns tho Govornment to tho monoy-kings and tho inati- tutions of tho South? Could not some Jay Oooke & Co. negotiuto our bonds—i, e,, our pork, beef, graln, aud otbor farm staplos—at (o great commorclal con: tres of Europe, at & less conmlesion than it now costa through tho robber-banditw of Boards of Trade, rail- way or bighway-robbers, and those Inqulsitions ycolpt clovators, or, mare proporly, recoptacles of atolen grain ? 1 eay stalen, for, from the books of a relisblo country gralu-dealer, it was shown that his shortago averaged 5 bushels por car-load, Tho roceipts of grafn 4n Chicago for tho year 1872 wern 80,000,000 busbels, or 210,000 car-loads, ou which o sbortago of only & bu ‘18 por car would Lo 1,030,000 bushels, Other deal churgo that thelr shortago bas bean from 10 to 60 bus els per car, Now, allow me fo ask, What part of this was reol stesling, and what part leakngo from the cars in”translt? The ovorago valuo of tho gruin isabout 60 cents a bushicl, and that would muke $500,000 to bo nceounted for, from loaving tho local slation on its woy to Chicago, Could tho industrinl products of tho Northweat b negotiated for at the commercial ceutres, thoy could e deliverod from our farms to compoting points of raiiroad and water trausportation, from which point we might expeot a reductton of frolghts, agonte’ com- missions, and othor charges, Then wa could pur- clinko our Bugar, tea, coflee, cloth, bardwure, and agri- cultural Lmplements by similar procees, and dis- tribute thom on tho sama plan, ~ Witholt legal or legislativo protaction, we arv as ‘helpless ua o pleop bound for slaughter, What shall bo dono? is tho question, T.J.

A million bushels of graiu strown along tho iino of our railways an- nually is o trifle too much to wasto. It1is not robable that much palus are taken to advertise ?husu surplug accumnulations, of which wo have whisperings from time to timo. If thero is a wastnga in tranait, lot that go to tho account of profit and loss, A local grain-donler ouco told mo that ho hnd to steal from each wagon-load of grain from tho farmer half a bushel, to indem- nify him ageinst tho shortago.

RUSSIA. A Foreign Prince of IRoynl Blood ¥ne dicted for Forgerye«Eis Crime and Lineage~=Coviction and Scitence. From the Exchange Gazette of St. Peteraburg, Dec, 6, A fow dnys sinco tho publis of Ht, Petorsburg saw standing bofore tho bar of o 8t. Petoraburg Court of Justico Princo Michaol Lusignan, n doscondant of the former. Kings of ?} prus, Jorusalem, and Armenia, The family of the Lusignans is one of tho oldest of royal origin, and goos back to tho twolfth contury. It iw, thorefore, not to bo wondered at that when Priuce Lusignan n;:punrml bofore tho Court to auswer & charge of forgery a largo audienco had gathorod together to witness tho event. Among those prosont in the court was tho fathor of tho nccused, Princo Louis Lusiguan, bont down with age and sorrow. It was sad to look upon tho old man, reduced from grent woalth to extrome penury, and condemnod to witnons the disgrace of his family in tho person of his only son, Tho pergonal history of this old man ia so full of intercat that wo cannot remain from giving a fow of ite main incidonts. Prince Louis Lusig- nan was born i Cygruu, April 19, 1808, and ro- coived from Lis” father an inheritanco which smountod to about £6,000,000, mostly in money. This fortuno had boon placed for safo keoping in tho hands of his uncle on tho mothor's sido, Ath- anssius, Motropolitan of Nicomedin. On Hastor Sundsy, 1821, Athanasius wes arrested by tho Turkish Govémor, and, togother with the Patriarch of Constantinople, put to death, Tho ontiro fortuno of Prince Louis was conflacated, end he himeolf barcly oscaped with Lia lifo, owing to the oxertions of tho Spanish Minister in Constantinople and tho good oflices of somo mombors of tho British Biblo Socicty thon in Turkoy. Aftor wandering about for nearly a ear, Yrince Lusignan wont to Athons and on- orod the Grool aarvico. In the yoar 1828, he camo to_Bt. Potorsburg and offored his servicos to the Ruassian Govern- mout on the following conditions: Tirat—To recoive no pay nor mark of distine- tiou for his services. % Socond—Not to becomo a Russian subject. The conditions were accopled, and Princo Lusignan was sssignod to service ,in_one of tho roginionts with the ranlk of Oaptain. Binco enter~ ing sorvico tho Princo took part in nenrly every campaign mado by the Russian army. By dogrecs his meaus of.living bocame well nigh oxhausted, and his efforts for recovering his lost foctuno from tho Turkish Governmont mot withcontinual obatacles till & fow wooks before the war between Franceand Gormany,when Napoleon I1L. throngh ono of hia Ministors, offerod to uso all hie influ- enco to recover the proporty of Lusignan on con- dition of roceiving 10,000,000 francs for his sor- vices in caso of succoss. Prince Lusignan on this occasion received an autograph letter from Napoloon, in which the sbove-mentioned con- ditions aro roforred to. The war with Prussin, howover, gayo the hero of Sedan something clso to think of bosidos saving the property of the Lusignans, Failing fortune and monoy embarrassmonts prompted his son to commit tho crimo of for- ory. Ho has boen found guilty, and condemned o oxiloin tho Ural country. “The docision of the Court has boon submilted to His Majosty tho Czar, and somo mitigation of the punish- mont is hoped for. —_— Switzerland and the Vaticnn, 5 From the New York Times, Dec, $0, Tho vory briof telograph, rocetved yostorday, simply sudouncing tho broaking off "of diplo- masic rolations botweon Bwitzorland and the Vatican, though not unoxpocted, is 8o suddou that somo explanation s to tho present rolig- fous quarrol with tho Papal Chargo d’Affnires may bo of intorest, Bwitzorland, in 1586, had for the firet timo a Furmnnuut roproscntative from the Pope estab- ished in hor midst, who oxorcisod & cortain powor. From that poriod religious focling bo- camo more and moro embittered, froquontly throatening to disturb the integrity of tho Bwiss Confodoracy, aud ofton dividing tho coun- try mto two eanips, ono Catholic and tha other Protostant. In the midst of incossant quar- rols, moro than once Switzorland would have succumbod if it had not been for a _sentiment of national unity, which ropelled tho incessaut encroachmonts of tho Papal Nuncio. As earl o1 1713 tho intrigues of the Nuncio Carracioli slmost caused bim to bo drivon from Switzer- land, and flually, in 1847, the Sundorbund trou- blos'endod by tho withdrawal of Dlaciotti, tha ropresontativo of St. Potor’s, Tho orrors mado by Maciotti wero of sv grave a character, thut it brought down on him tho censure of Dlus IX., (tben tho Popo had not thought of his dogmu of tho infallibility), and mensuros proposod by tho Bwiss_authorities for the utter nbu‘lislmlcu! of any Papal post in their midst was soriously thought of at tho timo. The offairs of 1848 having intorvonad, no positive measures wore adopted, but from that timo until now, instoad : of & Nuncio, the Popo had his intorosts carcd for in Bwitzorland by a Chargo d'Affaires. It soon, however, bucame cvident that though in name but n simplo Chargo d'Af- faires, lus functious woro precisoly of thie same charactor as those of formor Nuncios, and that his attention was o3 much cugrossoed by mattors occlosiasticnl as tomporal.
