On what ground ?' ' Mr Ould. The first letter purporting to be from Mr. Kerte. Mr. - Siekles, enclosing certain other 'ooninstinications addressed' to various parties—one to Mr. Wooldridge and his reply ; one to Marshal J. Bacon and his reply ; one from' Mr. - Key to Mr Beekman and his reply ; all in'the handwriting of Mr. Key and all the first purporting to be copies of other letters. The date of nearly all of them is March 25th. 1858. The first letter says—" I mend by Josiah D. Hoover the correspondence had -to-day, etc."—elluding to certain matters, por tione,-of which have been detailed to day as part of the expected evidence of the defence. The objection is that this correspondence at present seems .to be in no manner connected` with the issue the (gnt and jury are now trying. Besides, the note from Mr, 'Key to Mrs. Sickles is dated a year ago, and as it unist•relate to transactions before the tragedy, it must be excluded in point of time from the it reit gestic.", Another objeotien is that it shows no re lotion, direct or indirect, to the matter before the jury I should like to know on what peculiar ground' this correspondence is Vibe offered as evi dence? • ' Mr. Brady. I will state it The learned Dis trict Attorney, in opening the ease.- told the jury that the Government, speaking through him, could ascribe the sot of Mr. Sickles in killing Mr: Key to no other impulse than remorseless revenge. lie painted Mr. Sickles as an asaiissin. There is .ne pita before the jury that Mr. Key and Mr. Sick lee met each other before the time of that fatal 00- currenee. The jury have nothing in their minds as to their former personal relations. ,The cause of their meeting and the relations and eir cumatinces, are left 'to ' such 'inferences ns tho jury Meat' necessarily draii front • them in the absence of this testimony. We do not propose offering the testimony to prove the adulterous sot on the part of Mr. Key, but to show the friendly relations between the deceased and accused. His Honor geld, in the ease of Jarboe, that theleolara- Gone of the defendant in his Own 'favor are ad missible in murder, and only in murder, but they numbs declarations of kind feeling—to acts of a friendly oharaoter, or such like, toward the de- Ceased, prior to the commission of the crime with which he is'oharged. I understand that this cor respondence between the two gentlemen la of such a character es to.show relations of a friendly character, and that Mr. Rey treated Mr. Sickles as an equal and friend at that day. - Mr. Oald. There is no communication on the, face of the papers from Mr. Sickles to Mr. Key— no expression of either a kindly or a hostile feel ing. There' was only a note of Mr. Key to Mr. Sioltles, - in which their relations are not substan tittilrencebod on'-at all. Thera was nothing to show their friendship continued throughout the .year previous to the killing. Mr. Brady replied, claiming the admission of this testimony on the same ground as decided in the Jarboe ortee. The question was, was such ovidenne competent 9—and this beingadmitted, its value was to be determined by•the Jury. When the prosecution charged Mr. Sickles with de liberate assassination on Mr. Key, in broad day light, the law gives ns the right to prove that Mr - Sioklesis not an assassin.. and that his hands are not polluted by blood. Did not the District At torney say that Mr. Key's letter to Mr. Sickles does not contain any expression of good-will: The jury. will determine that, but the 'letter ' com- Mann "Dear Sir, " and ends Reepootfully and truly yours." I f we show friendly. relations in 1953, the low would presume continuous relations of friendship until something inter - muted them. We claim that the letters are ad missible on another point—namely, as showing, by Mr. Key's own admission that he had most intimate relations with Mr. and Mrs. Sickles, and that they belfeved his intimacy of an innocent and honorable character; and we claim they are admissible, as showing the origin of the pecu liar relations between Mr. Key and Mrs. Sickles. Mr. Carideo said this was a case in which the doors Omuta not be thrown open to what was not evidence, but they should confine themselves to the mode of proof which the law assigns in this cone. They should go no further than public justice requires Your Wonor would perceive the actual use which it was proposed to make of this testimony. 'Von hare heard in what man ner this correspondenoe in to be connected with tble unhappy ca'astrophe—m the way of blackening the character of. the deceased. On that nomad it could not bo received The eloquent ,address of the learned gentleman for the defence warrants Us in believing it was offered for that purpose. It leroffered fleet to bear on the question whether thin act of homicide wee an assassination. My learned colleegne, although he did not seethe word, painted it as one of assassination, and for the'parpeee of showing It was net an assassination; my learned b-others offer is show there was a continuous friendship between the accused nod the deceased, by the production Of lettere written eleven months prior to the collision; not writ ten by the deceased to the prisoner, but by certain other parties, and enclosed in a note written by the de ceased. An sasassination Is OP less an assassination be cause of the deep motives or passion which led to it— whether it be gold. or ambition, or vengeance for a great or au Inconsiderable w-ong—it is still au assas sination, and no power of human eloquence can paint it in any other Mr. Brady. These letters go to prove the fact of Mr. Bev a friendly relations. Mr. OarVele. I was coming to that. • Mr. Brady 'farther explained the object in offering thane lettere r Wieling that there wee a state or thioge wbioh prevents Mr. Plates from being convicted of o crime., Mr. Oarßele, resuming, said that when be used the we'd SMANUSUOD, be quoted from hie learned oppo nent, and had asserted that the evidence did not tend, tf admisethle, to chow it weal:Mt 11)3 assassination. And, secondly, it this kind of evidence of previous friendly Watkins were admitted to chow It was not en sameal nation, certainly evidence reaching beck nearly a year before the transeetton was not evidence It tends to shed no ray of light, which any reasonable mind can perceive, on the question. Be farther replied to Mr. Brady. Mr. Phillips said the relations the parties been to each other is pertinent to the Issue, because the Issue ii, not the killing of the de catered, but the murder, In which is implied that mallet+ by, which the law designates the offense. The pre aumption maybe contradicted, and one of the suedes by which it may be done is to ascertain V the relation which the parties bore to each other. This may be: demonstrated by acts of friendship or nor. respondence. In the present case we prow e to demonetrate it by the latter mode. The only question for the court Is the competency of such testimony, which maybe as duet in the betan.e; but lie effect and weight is for the jury As to thepoint of time, we may trace beck acts or friendship and Inti macy, and runback to the days of- boyhood, proving such relations' from Infancy .to the present time. Length of time, Instead of weakening, strengthens the argument that he was not killed With malice. We are not called on to give the order of time. This is but on, link of the chain of .531rcumttancei to show friendship -prior to the date of the tragedy, which continued down to within a few days of the commisaitu of the act. The (Mart mild the object of the deteoce WAS to show the relatione of too puttee to each other. The law undoubtedly le, when a man is on trial for murder, prevlone expreolons of good-will and sate of kindneas towards the deceased may be preyed. On this ground the court understood these lettere to be offered; but the one he had read was etmply courteous, and had no bearing on the lune. The lettere are not evidence. Mr. Brady took an exception to this ruling, and then to a ruling which minded Mr. Key's lettere apart from the enclomares -, The following are the letters; Mr. Noy to Mr. Sickles.

The name of the official organ 'at Washing ton, recently transferred under a peculiar ar rangement, which may form the subject of fu- tura investigation, by Contlntus WENDELL, to Gen. Geono W. BOWMAN, IS to he changed from The Mien yhe Comtitittion. Its new managers have resolved to r , let 'the Union' slide'? and in view of the recent course and history of that journal, the determination cannot be regarded as an s unwtse one. The Union was originally published .by BLAIR' & Rtyas under the title of The Globe, and under their management, during the, Administra tions of JACKSON and VAN BUREN, was to slo,o97,—viz : salaries of teachers, $16,880; books and stationery, $824; incidentals, $1,302. The cost for educating ouch pupil, including books, stationery and incidentals, is a fractionof $B5. In the Central High School there aro 515 boys, whose average attend ance is 511, Mr. M.4.auttie, the Principal, is paid $2 000 a year. Four other Professors are eAch paid $1,500 ; one receives $l,BBO : five receive $1,200 per annum each, and one (Dr. Ironins, Professor of MOral, Mental, and Political Science,) has so little as $660 a year. In the Normal School, the expenses are es timated at $6,332 for 1858, viz : for salaries $4,512 ; for books and stationery, $lB4 ; for incidental expenses, $636. The average an nual cost of each pupil is less than $27. Mr. P. R. ORaGAR, Principal of the Normal School, reports 212 female pupils attending on February, 1858 ? and learning the various branches which constitute a good English education, to be acquired in three years, though It Is often done in less, from previous training, ability, and application. Mr. One- GAIL highly eulogizes the beneficial effects of the calisthenic and gymnastic exercises, in what is called the School of Practice. • In the Grammar, Secondary, and Primal Schools, the expenditure in 1c 58, was $366,- 910, viz for salaries of teachers, $286,038 ; books and stationery, $33,803 ; for incidental 'expenses, $47,068. The cost:of the whole School System of Philadelphia is $475,781, made up of various, items of which the most important are Sala ries of Teachers, $808,618; Books and Sta. timiery, $31,947; cleaning School-hOuses, $28,295; rents of School-houses, $21,766; repairs and additions, $19,262; ground rents, $8,695; fuel, $17,209; furnaces and stoves, $6,1 06 ; night-schools, $11,270; furniture, $8,130. In 1858, the City Councils appro priated $481,707 to the Public Schools, and of, this a balance of $5,873 was on hand at the I close of the year. To 59,400 pupils, in 314 Schools, there are 1,018 teachers, 24 controllers, and 315 di rectors. • For further information ori the subject'of he Public Schools, we refer -to the Report tself, and will only say of it, in conclusion, that it is drawn with ,singular clearness, con cealing nothing, exaggerating nothing, and confirming our strong faith in the Public School system of Philadelphia. i'ablie Amusementg Mr. Frazeria concert, at Musical rand Hall, this evening promises to be a decided success. The vocal performers are -Miss Susan May, M'lle Anna Wieder, and Mr. Frtixtr ; the instrumental, Mr. Charles Jarvie at the piano-fgrte, Mr. Jong- Woke!, violoncello, and Mr. Harvey, violin. There is now performing, at-Walnut-street The atre, a very able young notiess, Miss Fanny Fits Parrett, daughter of that Mra. Farren who has an. gaited considerable popularity at a star," and is enable performer at this day, belonging to the " sanitation" school. It is of the young lady, how ever, that we desire to speak. She is yet in her teens, has a brilliant complexion, good eyrie, Sae hair, a neat figure, sweet voice, and graceful, Im mune natural, aotion. She has received an excel lent education, without her relatives having the slightest idea that she ever would. enter the pro fession. But the Farms, like the Hemblea, the Wallacks,_and the Yininga, seem destined for the stage. Mies Fitz. Perron, we suppose, . oonld not help herself. Nature had determined to make an actress of her, and Nature had very pretty materials for the purpose. The young lady, whose practice has not yet been very,great, (she is only a few months on the stage,) is already a good comedienne, and we anticipate a bright future for her. Last night she had an enthueiestio reception, as Constance, in "The Love Chase." This evening she appears es Lucretia Borgia. Our American Cousin" continues unceasingly attractive at Arch-street T:matre. At New York, Miss Laura Keene committed the mistake of with drawing it on its fulness of popularity. Mr. Wheatley, we suppose, will be wiser. It is sue seeded every evening by an interesting afterplece. The report from MoDonough's Gaieties is very lively; hundreds of people refund admieston on Saturday, from want of room, though the house does hold a tidy number. Fanny Forrest and Eliza, Thielman, and the usual strong company, improved by the addition of the Hutchinson Final ly, are attractive. Thomo•lfs Varieties is orewded every evening, with a farce and other performances. MISS DAVENPORT IN NEW YORE.—The Tri• buns of yesterday says : " Miss J. M. Davenport commended her cam paign at this house (Burton's) on Monday night last under very flattering auspices, and the week closed satisfactorily in the box office. The Czarina,' from the French of M. Scribe, was played four nights, when it was superseded by The public gratefully remember the rare excel tense of Miss Davenport's rendering of the he mine in the latter drama, and excellent houses testified to the fast. There Is a spirit of enterprise and liberality In the management which ought to &Aura a large share of substantial public) appreciation." The Bored says: " Anart from the popularity of Miss Daven port, who is rocognised as among the very best artists that have ever played here, and who, in artistio grace and grasp of character, has very few rivals, the theatre is worthy of support. It has been placed .in the beet order. The properties, scenery, and stage furniture are all new and In good taste. The company is full and efficient, and will compare favorably with the best in the city "Oa Friday and Saturday Miss Davenport revived her version of the "Dame aug Camaiste," which she produced at. the Broadway Theatre five years ago. The perforiganee on Friday attracted a full house, and,, notwithstanding its length, fixed the attention of - the audience from the beginning to the end of the play. The applause was frequent and hearty, wane many of the softer aex gave laohrymal tribute to the power of the *dress. Mine Davenport played admirably, and we have seen no one who made the refs so interesting, and, at the same time, so ;free, from objectionable features. The others were fair, and Mr. and Mrs. Conway and Mrs. W. H. Smith especially good. The piece ;will be repeated, to-night, and also to- morrow evening: The new piece.

B Y MIDNIGHT MAIL Letter front ,4 Occneionale" [Correspondence Of The Press.' WASDINOTON, April 11,1859. Exposures will be made at the next session of Congress of a character to demand the Impeach ment of high dams of the Government. It would seem that in many departments there is not only a deliberate disregard of the letter of the lair, bnt, more ehamoful feet still. that there has been authorized violations of the sanctity of pri vate corrospondenoe. To relieve our institutions from the infamy that the present Administration has put upon thorn, and to save us from that dire calamity, in which the finger of scorn would point at us from every quarter of the civilized world, it is a bounden duty of every man, whether a re presentative or the people, journalist, or other wise, to so mate the facts appear that they will call down at once crushing denunciations upon the heads of the guilty. Bare is one : A gentle. men, in one of the great cities of the West, bolds himself responsible, with another, on oath, to prove that not only were documents ordered not to be dis tributed when sent by a certain Senator, but that letters were also violated. An investigating com mittee will, I understand, be called upon this mat ter as well as upon the mal praotices of the rest Office Department, at an early day of the session. So insecure has the transmission of private cor respondence become, that ono might well think there was here, as In the palmy days of the Austrian despotism, a censor of the mails—one who, with diabolical ingenuity, got inside of let ters and allowed all 111 pass that were uneicep. tionable to its requiregents and withheld all that weru - caleulated to defeat or embarrass the pur poses of the powers that are." Again have sealing wax and doop.ont seals come Into almost general use. Complaints arise on all aides that letters are lost. Then, again, the stracgest rumors Heat about of votes purchased by money raised from per oentages upon contracts. I learn that a Phila delphian, who (tomes hero occasionally, hesitates not to tell that he was ordered to pay a per -contage on what ho received for printing the post office blanks, to a high officer of one of the depart ments. All these things, and others, must come out. The result, the consternation of good men, can only be Imagined. - The Democratic party has always maintained itself in power by devotion to principle, and its advocacy of retrenchment and reform in the pub lie expenditures, and it cannot now belie its his tory. Corrupted for a brief space, it will return to the teachings of its founders. In the North already, the iniquity of this Adml nistration has deprived it of power; and today, in the South, it is becoming surely Tylerized. Ilan. Jere. Clemens denounces it in Alabama; Mississippi politicians spurn it; Kentucky treats it with contempt ; anti so with the other Southern States In Georgia, particularly, and elsewhere in the South generally, the Union man of 1850— the men who elevated Ilccavell Cobb to the Gubernatorial chair, and upon the prin. oiplos of popular sovereignty and non•inter vention, everywhere defeated the fire eaters and disurtionists—are again gathering their hosts for renewed battle. Forsyth, ex.ral ulster to Mexico, draws up an indictment against Mr. Buchanan ,and his advisers, which fastens upon them ineffable wickedness in their bomb go vernment, and a weakness and incompeteney in foreign relations that are unparalleled in any history. Judge Wright, in Congress, from Geor gia, boldly flings to the breeze the anti-Lecompton banner; and heand those who gave Cobb and others their prominence in the SJath, will now, since they have falsified their pledges, and apse. tatized from the true faith, proclaim and condemn their treachery. The Sickles trial i3ontinnes to excite Unusual attention. There was a large crowd in the court i9 - 4.a.f. to Baton .to tho close of Mr. Graham' speech.

One bee been advanced to royalty ;in_ the profession. I presume it is the duty of short hand writers to bow down to him, although they may believeof bim as Oxenstiern did of the men of Frankfort. Said the wily old statesman to his son, "Go, my child, and see by what ineapables the world is governed." This thing of admiration has gone so far that a New York member of Congress was disgusted with it, and bad to rebuke it a few evenings since, at a gathering of the mutual admirers.' It is doubtful whether Lord Lyons hee intros- Hone to cover the late developments of Gore Cooley's diplomacy in Central America. Gen. Cass will rehearse to him the promises of the Bit tish Government, andlow they have been broken, and then the negotiations will goon as they have gone on since Crampton left, and' with like un profitable results. Not even the searob question is finally adjusted, notwithstanding the sapient_ Dogberrys of the Batrisburg Offioe-holders' Con. vention so announced it. The same Convention' gave great credit to Mr. Buchanan for bringing the Indian : trans to .a happy termination, but re frained from stating what lawn wars Only a day or two ago, too, the Union was full of orders from the War Department calling upon the troops for a vigorous campaign against the Indians on our frontier. Probably the 'Convention bad not Gradgrind's affection for feels, and believed that consistency was a scoundrelly virtue.
