CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 9, 1872. - J ?^-I?A-.? I ??-?Viii .."?kam? ninan/} if? rtrwmtfOM I THE YANKEE ALADDI THR MARVELLOUS CAREER OF LATE JAMES FISK, Jil. From Peddler to Prince-How the '. nate? of Wall anett were Wheed The Wonderful Power of Bra Demoralizing Example. [From the New York Tribune.] James Fisk, Jr.. lias been described b of his admirers as the most fascinating cl tero! the Nineteenth Century. "Talk i Aladdin !" exclaimed tue representan ve worshipper from wUom we quote, "Why, you have Aladdin under your very e driving a peddler's cart one day and co to New York tue next as the ruler ot the m ?rket, where tie has exerted a greate fluence upon business thau any other man in the- world." Allowing tor a lu tu thusiasm, this do-s not much exaggerate extraordinary vicissitudes of tuis ext dinary man's career. He was burn Bennington, Vermont, on the 1st A, April, 1834. His lather waa a ped driv 1 cg one of those capacious wagons, st common in the rural districts of New Engl stored with calicoes, tinware, laces, trin and household utensils, at which the fare wives and daughters do the most of i ho s ping. From Bennington he removed to J tleboro', where James obtained alt the i education he ever got, at the district sci It was nothing more than the mode acquaintance with the alphabet and Hie c book. He never mastered the art of spell and to the end ot his iife had a comical i tempt for grammar. The elder Fisk had same commercial Instincts and a little of same taste for variety in hts enterprises wi afterwards distinguished the son. He bull inn, and in default of a satisfactory lei used to manage lt himself; tho son at 8 times was employed as waiter. There report that J??rnes made his tiret acquaints with the outside world In some humble capa in connection with a travelling circus or nagerie; but hut ambition was to be a i 1er. Ho began by travelling with his fall Pretty soon he was entrusted with a se| ate wagon, and he ended by buying out business, and laking his worthy sire ai hired man to di ive one of the vehicles. Vi the brightest wagons, the showiest hon and the most glittering harness in the au and, williwin abundance of that ready wit i good-natured impudence lor which he aft ward became famous, he prospered BO I that be waa soon one of the principal jot>b in Vermont. He bought his supplies of J dan & March, in Boston, sud the members thia firm were BO Impressed with his shrev ness tbat they gave lilma position lu th establishment as salesman. From salesm he became a partner. He made some exe lent bargains with the government during I war. Ii is said that he made a happy siro , by smuggling cotton through, the lines, four years hu retired from the flt m with ca tal 'enough to open a dry good* shop of own. In four months more, nis money w v all gone, and the business was closed up. wneu he appeared in New Yoi k in ISCA, a opened a broker's office in Broad street, I entire capital consisted (if history can oe I lie ved ) of a borrowed silver watch. If he h anything more than thal he soon loBt lt, a when he Introduced himself to the favor Daniel Drew, by negotiating 1er him the f>? of the Bristol line ot ?t-amboats, he was pn ticaliy penniless. Mr. i Tew Hist set him I as a broker, in partnership with Beiden, ai employed the new flem in carrying oa I famous war with Vanderbilt for the pcssessii ol the Erie Railroad. That warfare ls a mi ter of history, which we need not here t count. When the crisis came, ou the eve the election tor directors, lu October. 186 there were three contestants in the Heit Fisk was serving under the Drew party, wi wanted to be retained io office. Vauderbtl master of Harlem, Hudson R.ver, aud Centn seemed to be on lue polut of securing Brie als? Eldridge was the leader of the Boston, Har lord and Erle party, which wained to get Int the trie directory f jr the purpose of makin that corni any guarantee the bonds of the own worthless ro id. E tiri ?ge was assisted t Gould. As a result of (he compromise b which the three opposing intere>ts coalesce Fi.-k and Gould were both chosen directors c Erie, aud from the month of October, 186' dates the memorable association of these tw Choice epirltssiuce so famous lu the moue markets of the world. They were not th counterparts, but the complements of eac other. Fisk waa boM, unscrupulous, dashim enterprising, ready in execution, powerful 1 his influence over the lower and inure sensua order ol tuen. Gould was artful, reticent long-headed, clear ol brain, fertile of inven tiou, tenacious of purpose, and no more but dened with unuecessaiy scruples than hi more noisy and flasny companion. The were not long in jolniug foriuues. At ihi y tine of the lamons Erle corner the nex March, they were ostensibly working oi opposite Bides, Gould uoting for Vautier Wit, and Fisk being the man to whom Drew entrusted flfty thousand shares ol nen stock, secretly It-sued, to be used when Vanderbilt's brokers began to buy. The mys teries oftbat transaction ure fully known oui] to a few of the principal actors. An Injune tlon ot Judge Barnard's had forbidden Drew or anybody connected willi the road lo manu? facture any more stock by the issue of con? vertible bond'. But Drew was "short""of Erle; the Vauderbilt pool threatened ruin, and stock must be had. The .new certificates had already been made out lo the name ol Jamos Fisk, Jr., and were in the hands of the secretary, who was enjoined from issuing them. Mr. Fisk saw a way out of i he difficul? ty. The secretary gave the certificate books .to an employee of me road, with directions to carry them carefully to the transfer office. The messenger J e tu med In a moment empty handed, and told the astonished secretary tbat Mr. Fisk had met him at the Seor, taken thc books, and "run away with them." On the same day the convertible bonds com s ponding lo tuese certificates were placed on the secretary's desk, and as soon as Vander? bilt had forced up Hie price of Erie, Fisk's - new shares were thrown upon the market, and bought by Vanderbilt's agents before their origin was suspected. Mr, Fi.-k unfor? tunately had not yet cultivai ed ihe Ja'imate relations with Judge Barnard which he subse? quently sustained. When the Drew pirty ap? plied for au order from Judue GLbert, in Brooklyn, enjoining Barnard's injunctions the petitioner whaaccused that ornament of the New York b?n>h of a corrupt conspiracy to speculate in Erie stock, was noue other than Fisk's partner, Mr. Beiden. The next > morning Barnard issued an order of arrest for contempt, aud Fisk, with the whole b rie Direc? tory, fled to Jersey City, carrying $7,000,000 of money aud the books and pipera of tho company. Among the most valuable of (he assets transferred"on that occasion to Taylor's Hotel was Miss Helen Josephine Mansfield. "I went to Jersey," testified this fair creature some weeks ago in the suit which has jus; come to so tragical a termination, "wu h the officers of the Erle Company, and the railroad paid all tue expense." Mr. Fisk could afford to amuse himself. He hod made filly or sixty thousand dollars by lils day's work in Broad street, and he had the sutUtaclion ol' knowing that he had not on y beaten Vauderbilt and Barnard, but outwitted even lils particular friend and patron, Mr. Drew. He had uow practically the greater share of ihe manage? ment on his shoulders, though lu name he was only comptroller. He sofie:.ed public indig? nation by subsidizing a gang of ruffians, os? tensibly in the Vanderbilt interest, to besiege "Fort Taylor," as if for the purpose of kidnap? ping the directors, and orgat.izing a band of railway hands to mount guard about the hotel. He dogged the steps of Mr. Drew, who was stealing over to New York by night to make a secret compromise lor himself uh me with Mr. Vanderbilt, and when Drew carried off the ninds of the comp my FNk compelled him to brlug them back by pulling an uiiuch ment on his money lu bank. A bill was uow introduced at Albany to legalize Dre .v 's over Issue of stock. Mr. Gould visited the capital with haifa million dollars and caine back with? out a cent, and the bid which three weeks be? fore had been rejected by a vote of 83 to 32 was carried by a vote 101 to 6. This was fo!- I lowed by a general su-penMou of hostilities. The scandalous network of Injunctions hid 1 * become so Intricate thal one geneiai order waa I ' obtained sweeping lt all away. Judge B.ir- 1 nard wu? placated In some manner not made .public. Mr. Peter B. Sweeny, who, as tue , re pr?sentai ive of Tammany, haJ been ap- : pointed 1 receiver" of the property of thu s railway company af: et- lt had been carried out ot reach, waa allowed 9150,000 for bia ? trouble of takiug care of nothing: and the t exiles returned to New York. In one of his characteristic fits ol frankness, James Fisk afterward on the witness stand described the settlement which ensued as an -'almighty rob. bery." The directors of Erie took 50,000 shares o? stock off Vanderbilt's shoulders at 70, and stave him $1,000,000 besides. Eldridge got $4,000,000 of Erle acceptances in exchange for $5,000,000 of Boston, Harttord and Erle, which became bankrupt very soon afterward. Drew kept all he bad made, but was to pay $450,000 Into the Erle treasury, and stand ac? quitted of all claims the corporation might have against him. Nearly balta million more was required to pay the lawyers and discon? tinue the suits. Fisk, getting nothing per? sonally, stood out agalust the arrangement nu til the conspirators consented lo give him the Erle Ballroad I Drew and some others were io resign, and Fisk and Gould to take possession of ihe property. Thus begau the most extraordinary chapters of railway management the world has ever seen. A series of dishonorable transactions on the stock exchauge had plundered one ol I the most magnificent roads lu America of j about $9,000,000, and left lt, with an empty treasury and a legacy of lawsuit?, under the control of two adventurers, who had not ex? perience enough to run a hand-ca . They took advantage of the calm which followed to clear out the old board of auditors, and concentrate all power io the four offices-as president, vice-president, treasurer and comp? troller-which they then divided equally, each taking two. There had already . been indica? tions of an alliance with the Tammany Ring, and the bargain was now completed by the admission ot Tweed and Sweeny to the di? rectorship, and the appoint me ut of Barnard as judge In ordinary. They needed strength? ening. The slock had gone down to 44, and was destined soon to go to 20. Vanderbilt was Billi to be feared, and an election for di? rectors was coming on, when the Bing might be completely destroyed. How Fisk ana Gould met these di'.Hen Hies everybody knows. -The printing press was set running to manufacture more stock. Englishmen were investing heav? ily In Erie just then, with the idea apparoutly that because it was cheap it must be good. Fisk and Gould Bold the new stock to them, but kept lt in their own names, as crokers, on the transfer books, and so could vote for them? selves with lt alter lt had passed out of their possession. Finally, when the foreign hold? ers, alarmed at the depreciation of the prop? erly, sent the certificates to New York and sought to have them transferred in ihe usual way. Mr. Fisk, with the assistance of Gould aud Barnard, seized them under cover ot a fic? titious suit, and had them placed la the hands of Judge Barnard's Gratz, who was as safo a voter aa Fisk himself. We shall not undertake lo trace the compli? cated suits which Fisk sud hin confederates have since promoted. Probably it would be unfair lo hold him principally responsible for* j ihe judicial scandals in which he was the most conspicuous figure. His was not the cunnlng hrain which devised the shameful chicanery, and planned out long legal campaigns full of ambiiBcades'nnd surprises, and treacheries and dishonors. He was rat her ihe daring and reck? less executor of ihe designs or more cralty associates; but it was the nature of the mau lo be the most conspicuous figure of any com? pany into which he might be thrown. In that baud of '-britruans" (to use hM owu urthrograpliyj which has held possession of the Erle Road lor the last four yeats, he has always been ihe loudest and ihe biggest; but we doubt whether lie has been ihe captain. He has glittered with rlbbous aud gay breeches. His arms have been the brightest. His swagger hos been the grand? est. But there hus been a more astute masker behind him. Ii was ihe peddler's taste for varnish which placed the Erle offices lu a the? atrical palace, and filled them with magnifi? cence of carved wood aud gilding, and bur? nished morocco and monstrous mirrors. It was In a spirit of barbaric magnlticeuce rat li? ar, perhaps, than ot speculation, that he Dough t the Eighth Awn ne Operations-, and eased pan of it ro the railroad ; bought ihe Fifth avenue Theatre; bought a summer garden np -own. for the purpose of running a restaurant; nought two lines of steamboats, und pul him? self Into naval uniform; bong nt coaches and ?aggage wagons; bought everything that would keep the name of James Fisk, Jr., per? petually ia the public ear. the portly figure of James Fisk, Jr.. perpetually In the public eye, Bul, lu managing ihe business details of 'he railway corporation, shrewd as ho was. lie needed the help of a diffeient class of j men. Toe famous gold conspiracy of mack Friday, lu which he played BO ?) rom iii" nt. a part, waa probably not ot lils de? mising. It was his duty lo conduct the Presi? dent to Boston and entertain him on his steam? boat while the keener confederates employed ihe Boclal hours In working upon the mind of :'ie unsuspicious Chief Magistrate. When Fisk, lu his laced uniform, matched Into the Boston Coliseum In Ihe suite of General Grant, lie doubtless felt that he had played his share Df the game, and was as near happiness as ho iver could be. But when Black Friday came, il needed just such a mau ot nerve and head? long moral courage as Fisk to carry on the iPBperate bidding bf the corner-and to repu? l?ale their contracts when the President at oat overthrew them. Eveu the Erle lawsuits ire lull of incidents characteristic of Fisk's recklessness. It ls to the vagaries of his pri? mate life, however-if Fisk can be said to have iad any private life-that ihe ejes of the mulgar have been turned with the great? est Interest. The troupes of dancing rirls and opera-bouffe singers whom he sup? ported at his theatres, exhibited In his box, md uaraded in public places on his arm; the splendor of his equipages; the glories of his .oilel; the rumored luxuries ol' hie banqueting ?ooms and his buffel; his lavish generosity ia riving, and his ingenuity in never paying; ns insolence and his wit ; lils vindictiveness ind his good nature; his thirst for notorlely md his unparalleled contempt for public minion; his boldness in defying laws and :our(s, coupled with a comical sort ot coward ce In the face of physical danger-these things mve been thu talk of New York for four years md have made the name of James Fisk, Jr., notorious from London to San Francisco, and no doubt they have been admired. Bad, rross, sensual, vulgar as he was, be had not july troops of associates, but hundreds of ad nlrers. Young men saw in ihe career of this io or roue the road to wealth and pleasure, fie was chosen colonel of a regiment )f militia, marched it to Boston In de lance of the unwillingness of ihe peo ile of that city, encamped with lt at liong Branch, was cheered sometimes in the ttreets, and when he serenaded the Grand Duke Alexis was admitted to an Introduction villi that Imperial young mau. He ran away llsgracefully during the Orange riots In July, >ut that did not seem to diminish his popular ty even lu his own regiment. The courts lave rung with Hie shames of his domestic re? stions; but he bore his head as nigh us ever, t is the worst ol' his offences mat. by the brilliancy of his rapid career and thc rude >onliomie of his manner he did so much to fas Uuate the weak und blunt the moral sense of I .he young. He and his associates did more :hun any other men except Tweed to corrupt he bench and the bar-more even than Tweed himself to defile the judicial emlne in ?he public sight, and degrade in general esti n a: iou names once honored tn the roll of ad? vocates. He did his best, to destroy what honor here was left lu the st ck market. He found 'peculation a sort of gambling, and he made it lothiug belter than freeboutlng. He denied i stage that was bad enough already. He )opularized sins thal common decency used 'o ionceal. But worse than all this was the in lidlous influence by which he relaxed bu-in- s. nonUlty, and tauuht young men just starling n ihe race of life that auy uneducated boor :o;ild gel off u peddler's catt und steal a rail? road without, going to Jail or being kicked out )f so-called respectable houses. Trie ouly way o gel on, In the Fisk philosophy, was to cheat riends aud enemies ulike, bribe, lie, cheat, Heal, und have a good time.
