- COLUMBIA, S. C., January 8..
Both houses of the General Assembly have
got to werk again, and are again manifesting
the fame reckless disregard of the limitations
of time and haughty contempt for expense
?hat characterized them before the recess, and
that bid fair to prolong this session far beyond
the usual limits of time and bf human patience.
The House after Its two failures, on Friday
and Saturday, to get a quorum together, final-.,
ly succeeded lo getting the requisite number
this morning, and was called, to order at halt
past twelve. The morning business proceeded
very quietly until the report was reached of
the committee on statehouse and grounds,
upon Bowen's resolution of inquiry as to the 1
granite now being cut and carried off from the
Statehouse yard. The report was that, the
Go vernor had been authorized by a concurrent ,
resolution, ia 1870, to sell this granite, and had
accordingly sohl it (n May. 1870, at public auc- ?
tton, and had placed the proceeds In the hands
of the sinking fund commissioners. Mr. Hur?
ley thought this was too thin, whereupon the
chairman of the committee rather hastily rose ,
to explain, and after a little debate the matter- ,
- wa? postponed till Thursday next.
' The Governor's message, conveying his ap?
proval of certain acts, as already reported by '
telegraph, wa? then received; but the expect?
ed message of his Excellency, in which he un?
dertakes tb exculpate himself from the charges
broght against him, not having yet been print?

The Governor returned to the Senate, with-1
out his approval, the bill to repeal a joint j
resolution authorizing the employment of an
armed loree for the preservation of the peace.
flvlng as bis reasons for the veto that the bill
ad not received Its third reading in the
House, and, further, that the exigency which
required the pa?aage of the joint resolution in
1869 might at any time recur. It ls doubtful,
however, if the Assembly, in its present tem?
per, will consent to the continuance in the [
hands of the Governor of this power of em?
ploying a horde of partisan adherents in all
parts of the State, and it is openly asserted
that this power has been freely used by the
Executive for securing his election and
aggrandizement, and, indeed, for everything
but the preservation of the peace.

were received and confirmed by the Senate in
executive session:

THE FISK TRAGEDY.
FULL DETAILS OF THE ASSASSINA?
TION OF THE "PRINCE OF ERLE."
The Circumstance* and Carnes that Led
to the Bloody Deed?
The Fisk-Mansfleld scandal ia New York, as
already announced by telegraph, culminated
Saturday afternoon ia the fatal shooting of J
James Fisk, Jr., the Prince of the Erle Bing,
by Edward Stokes. The shooting affair took
place at 4.30 P. M. Saturday, at the Grand Cen?
tral Hotel, New York, and Fisk was struck
twice. Stokes, who flrqd the fatal shot, it ls
alleged, was Fisk's rival In. the affections of
Miss Helen Josephine Mansfield, who had a suit
on trial against Fisk for slander, in which she
and Stokes were both on the stand as witnesses
on Saturday. MIBS Mansfield's suits and threats
to publish her letters from Fisk have been
the subject of protracted litigation and newspa?
per gossip for weeks. Fisk, lt would appjjar, had,
by his masterly manipulations of the machine- j
ry ot the law, triumphed with Injunctiens in
this, as on many other noted occasions, driv?
ing his rival to madness, with the fatal result
no 7 chronicled. The career of Fisk ls well
known. A few years ago he drove a peddler's
cart across the hills of Vermont. He has since
passed through such a career as no other ad?
venturer has ever run, always buoyant and
nearly always successful, whether by fair
means or lout. Miss Helen Josephine Hans
field, or Mrs. Lawlor, as she ls sometimes call?
ed, as the wife of the actor ofthat name, is
represented as a sweet siren, a gorgeous ad?
venturess, whose silks and diamonds and rare
beauty matched the meteoric brilliancy of the
career ol the "Prince of irle." Stokes, the
assassin, is a marled man, about thirty years
t>i age, and ls only known to|the public recent?
ly in connection with the Mansfield affair. The
and which has been reached is the natural
?llmax of such a career as Sas marked the
lives of the respective parties.
Dispatches from New York, received Satur-1
lay and Sunday, give the following particulars |
if the occurrence, together with the fatal
result:
-'THE LIBEL SUIT.
During the morning, the trial of the suit of I
Mles Mansfield against Fisk, for libel, occupied
the Yorkville Police* Court. Miss Mansfield
was cross-examined by Fisk's counsel. She
dented making an appointment to meet Fisk
and lhe Egyptian consul-general, George But?
ler, at one Miss Wood's; met Butler In Call
lornla, and bad never Intended to blackmail
F.sk. Mri. Williams testified that the state?
ments made that Miss Mansfield and Mr.
3tokes had held conversations in her presence {
ibout blackmailing Fisk were untrue. E. 8.
Stokes also testified that there was no truth In
?id statements. He testified that he hada
family; flrBt met Miss Mansfield In New York
it a dinner with Flss; visited Miss Mansfield
aloe or ten times a month; bad threatened to
pursue Fisk in a legal, not physical, way; have
threatened to print hts letters, and made pro?
positions to settle with Fisk; witness's rela
ilons with Miss Mansfield were not Improper,
bat he had often stayed at her house all night.
THE SHOOTING OF FISK.
After the testimony of Stokes he encoun?
tered Fisk ia the vestibule of the Grand Cen?
tral Hotel, when the shooting took place. It
seems that at 4.30 P. M. a carriage stopped at
Lhe entrance of the Grand Contrai Hotel. It
contained Fisk and a companion; the former
jil ch ted and. entered the hotel for the pur-]
pose of proceeding to his rooms. an?J ps he as*
leaded the first utep Stokes came Out at an
idjolnlng passage way, and, unobserved by
F.sk, unbottoned his coat and drew out his 1,
revolver and rapidly discharged three shots I j
it Fisk. The first shot lodged in Fisk's | ?
shoulder, the second whistled close by his
head, and the third, with more fatal direction,
took effect in the abdomen, inflicting a mortat
wouad. Fisk at once staggered and fell,
while Stokes said: "I have done for the -
this time." Fisk evidently recognized his as
rill ant before falling, bul made no remark.
Immediately after the shots were fired the '
betel employees rushed to the scene, and
while some cared for the wounded man,
others seized Stokes? ?rho made no resistance,
\nd was promptly handed aver-to the police.
Fisk was conveyed to his room, where the
mrgeon of the hotel waa soon in attendance
apon him. Meanwhile telegraphic messages
?.ere sent for further surgical aid and for the |
friends ol Fisk.
THE SCENE AT THE HOTEL,
after the shooting, - was one of extraordinary
excitement. The crowds coming from the
matinees of the various theatres, hearing of I j
the occurence, thronged the corridors of the |
hotel, eagerly discussing the event and mak?
ing inquiries about the particulars of the out?
rage. The officers who arrested Stokes con?
veyed him to tba Fifteenth precinct s tat ion,
where he was lodged in a cell.
- THE CAU81! OF THE SHOOTING.
It ls said that th} order of Judge Brady, re- ?
atra?alos Stokes and Mi&s Mansfield from pub?
lishing ihe letters in Misa Mansfield's posses?
sion, affecting Fisk, Peter B. Sweeny, and
others, had an exasperating effect upon
Stokes, and lt ls believed he was aroused to
desperation partly in consequence of the
rumors, generally received as well-founded,
thai the grand Jury bail lound an indictment
agalDst himself and Miss Mansfield for au
attempt to blackmail Fisk. The news ef|
the shooting rapidly spread over the
city, and produced Intense excitement. Fisk's
friends claim that in the examination at
the Yorkville police court the evidence was
strongly In favor of Fisk, and tended to show
that Mansfield and Stokes were endeavoring
to levy blackmail. They say Mansfield's case
completely broke down, and Stokes lost all
self-control. Charles S. Spencer, one ot Fisk's
counsel, says Stokes had already obtained
150,000 from his client, and was attempting to
get more but tailed, w h i. e Fisk's condition on I
Saturday night was critical, the opinion of the
surgeons.In attendance was that he would cer?
tainly live over the night Many irlends and
acquaintances of Fisk are at the hotel, William
M. Tweed and Jay Gould among the number.
Fisk waa calm and collected and able to coa
verse. About nine o'clock on Saturday night the
coroner heard the statement of Fisk about the
shooting. At ball-past nine o'clock he was
engaged with his lawyer, D. D. Fle:d, making
his will. The weapon used was a four-cham?
bered Colt's revolver. One of the detectives
at the precinct where Stokes is in custody
pronounced the bore the largest he had ever
seen. The bullet found on the stairway was
tn size more like a rifle ball than a pistol bul?
let.
ANOTHER REPORT OF THE SHOOTING.
According to one report Fisk, on receiving
the shot in the abdomen, fell on bis back, and
on belog assisted to his feet walked up stairs
to the reception room. Stokes, lt is alleged,
rode down from the Yorkville police court with
his counsel, ex-Judge McKeoa and Assistant
District Attorney Fellows. They got out at
Delmonlco's, ia Fourteeath street, and while
taking lunch discussed the case and agreed
that lt had broken down, and was sure to be
dismissed by Justice Blxby. Stokes observed,
in an excited tone, "Is lhere no way to beat j
this man ?"
STOKES AND MISS MANSFIELD.
Stokes then went to the residence of Miss j
Mansfield, and in this connection it la a cir?
cumstance of perhaps some significance that
Stokes had not been more than a few minutes
in custody at the stationhouse wheo she ar?
rived there. A reporter obtained an Inter?
view with Miss Mansfield alter the shooting.
She declined to enter into any lengthened con?
versation, but remarked that she was sure
that "Ned'' Stokes must be insane. At mid?
night Fisk fell Into a tranquil sleep, and Drs.
Camochan, Wood, Sayer and White took their
departure until 8 o'clock. All concurred in
saying that lhe symptoms were of a favorable
character. Mr. Fisk's statement to the coro?
ner was lo the effect that he had come to the
hotel to T make inquiries as to whether Miss
Moses was in, and being answered In the
affirmative, proceeded up stairs. He had no
suspicion thai any ene intended to harm him.
When about on the first landing he saw a
flash and something strike bim upon the abdo
men. Before falling he recognized Stokes as
his assassin. He did not again see Stokes
until he was brought before him to Identify
him. The evidence of the boys In the hall?
way corroborated the statement of the wound?
ed man.
The bullet penetrated about two inches
above the navel, and passed down towards the.]
right The doctors were at first of opinion that
the Intestines were uninjured. Late Saturday
night Jay Gould, president of the Erle Ball
road company, attended the bedside ot his
wounded coadjutor, and was deeply affected
In consequence of the critical condition of j
Fisk. He remained a long time In assiduous
attention on Fisk.
V DEATH OF FISK.
A few minutes before eleven o'clock Sunday
morning. James Fisk, Jr., expired at the
Grand Central Hotel. He lay upon his side
breathing heavily,, his face was pale, but be- j
fore six o'clock had not any alarming expres?
sion, only round the ejes were dusKy rings
that seemed to show some little danger. At
six o'clock the first ominous change appeared
in the patient. He grew a little restless, his
face bad greater pallor, and bis breathing was
less easy end regular. On feeling his pulse,
Dr. Fisher found it waa more rapid, being
very nearly one hundred. At, half-past six
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 J
was more death-like, and moisture appeared
on the forehead, the pulse being then over one
hundred. At seven o'clock it. was first an?
nounced that he was fast sinking: his pulse
was at this time one hundred and tnlrty.
ARRIVAL OF FISK'S WIFE.
8hortly 'after, Mrs. Fisk, bis wile, and Mr.
Morse, his father-in-law, arrived and went to
the bedside oMhe sufferer1. Mrs. Fisk was
greatly agitated. The scene was the most
heartrending that had yet taken place, and
those present could not restrain their emotion.
At half-past seven the friends collected lu the
ante-room had been joined by Others, one by
one, who asked anxiously after the condition
of Mr. Fisk. Lawyer Sherman and Jay Gould
stood near, the latter completely overcome.
The doctors were appealed to by the wife to
give eome little hope, bt?t they gently Indicat
ed that they dare not say there was any chance
ot Ule. .
COOLNESS OF TK# DYING MAN.
Fisk was not much moved at the moments
he was cognizant of surroundings, but seem?
ed never deserted by the coolness and forti?
tude he had displayed when first shot As the
morning advanced his pulse still grew more
alarming, and he became more and more
feverish and exhausted. Morphine, which
had been given bim la large quantities, only
kept bim from terrible agony, and, aa lt was,
bis tortures were excruciating. At eight
o'clock there was little change; at half-past
eight the doctors consulted again, and at nine
o'clock the suppressed excitement about his
bed was almost too Intense to bear. At half,
past nine a few were permitted to go to his
Dedside. The length ot his Ute now depended
sn bia being kept as quiet as possible.- There
was by this lime a good deal of going to and
fro In the sick man's chamber. Fisk thanked
lils friends simply for coming. The rapidity
sf the decline showed itself more strongly
I han ever before.
*^THE FINAL SCENE. *
At 10 o'cNck there was eager and bushed
ivhlottering In every ear,"as lt wustold that the
and was drawing nigh. At half-past 10 he lay I
scarcely knowing that there was any minis-,
Leriog to him; ne looked at the opposite wall
ind noticed no one, and a quarter of an hour
afterwards he breathed his last After bis
death had been announced, numbers cf j
friends were allowed to view the body, but
the general public were not admitted. At 2
o'clock the remains were removed from the
hotel to the residence of the deceased.
STOKES IN THE TOMBS.
Stokes was taken to the Tombs this morning
ind placed in cell No. 15. His counsel were
vlth him, as aleo his brothers. He said that |
ie did the deed In a state ot frenzy,.
COM?IKNTS OF?IHE PBESS"
The Journals comment upon Fisk's murder
is follows: The Herald says that the coward- j
ce of the act reaped Its first fruits In the pub?
ic mind by awakening for Fisk a wide-felt
jympathy. There ls nothing In the case to
iisdogulsh lt trom murder, for which death
)n the gai lo ws ls the penalty. The Times pro- j
iounces the murderous deed brutal and cow?
edly, aad will attract toward Fisk aa amount j
>f public sympathy to which no part of his
;areer has entitled him.
