PRIDAT, APRIL 1859. The Democratic State Conveation. We pulalish this morning a full report of the Proceedings of the Demooratio State Oonven- tion of the 13th instant, at its afternoon ses sion. It WIS one of the most imposing poll tloal ever held at Harrisburg. It Savo'ciaar and' distinct -utterance to the sen time* of'nettrly 'eve& intelligent and honest Democrat within the liorders of our Common , s wealth. It reasserted the time-honored prin ciples of-the Democratic party in plain and unequivocal terms. It rebuked with becoming dignity the conduct of the manacled slaves of -tower, who'faisely assumed to speak for the people whom they insulted on the 16th of - It showed that, universal as aro the disgust and indignation with whtoh a disgraced Administration is -regarded throughout the Union, in no portion of it are those feelings more general than. in the State which gave birth to JAMES fiLMIANAN. The tone of, the proceedings, the address, and the resolutions, should serve as a beacon of warning to the Democracy of the 'Union. From this denionstration all who cherish the welfare of the Democratic /party can learn at Mice ,the perils which' menace it, and how it may yet be rescued *Om them. There are hundreds of thousinds of freemen in the North, who, much as they have loved a mere. organization, love its principles inll - bettor, and they will, spurn with disdain the 'decrees of all, Convocations whose primary object is not their faithful enforcement. The true object of parties is not to minister to low ambition, not to reward venal place-hunters, but :to enforce great truths, and to impress the will of the people upon the action of their Go vernment. The elfort to purchase, by Federal 'patronage, the Democratic organization, for the pnrpose of prostiiiiting it to low ends, and to wield it as an instramentfor the destruc tionof the vital principles it was formed to .entorCo, has proved 'a lamentable failure. The tine, men- of the party have protested against it in tering which none can misunderstand, and they will emPhatically rebuke it at the polls' in October nest. Hereafter, those 'who are interested in the welfare of the pemocratic party must choose between a miserable oflice-holders' organics- tion, which has no Well-grounded principles, andwhich, after the term of the present Nation al Administration closes, cannot even have any offices to bestow, and a genuine Democratic organization based upon eternal principles, Which, by the rectitude of its intentions, would be certain to eventually secure the support of the American peoplo. Our itelatiois 'with Nicaragua auff, • New Granada. The intelligence from °entre! America, brought by the steamer Star of the West, is of an important' character. Accounts have repeatedly been forwarded from Nicaragua stating that our interests in that country wore very inadequately represented by Hr.' LAMAS; that, in abort, "not to put too fine a point upon it," he was' in the habit of frequently becemiisg _lntoxicated, in public, and that he commanded no respect whatever. It is now represented 'by his 'apologists that these charges against him were gross exaggerations, but that hewas duped by the faworabla repro. sentationi Of Sir WILLTAM GORE 01794E1r, forwarded to,him by the Administration. He •was informed that that gentleman would corn municato freely with him and co-operate in nrobicting American interests, instead of which he devoted his attention • eviusively to his own treaty, and kept himself entirely aloof' from Mr. LAMAR. In the meantime, England, Prance, and Sardinia have been securing such treaties as they desited, and all'. the rights guarantied to American companies under their old contracts have been destroyed by unfavor able legislation. At length, after many delays, it is rumored that the Cass-Yriseari treaty has been ratified, but-with the important amendment that the United States shall not be allowed to land ,troops in Nicaragua 'without the special per mission orinvitation of the Nicaraguan Go item:tent, except` in -eases where filibusters eaoitpa "the vigilance of our erulaerer The substance Of this amendment, therefore, is that our army cannot be employed to pro toot the American interests, which have re peatedly bean wantonly injured, and which can haie no adequate-guarantee of safety but force ; .yet,that wo are *free to use our army for the' protection of the, Nicaraguan authorities from the assaults of our filibusters. Partly from the inefficiency of our minister, and partly from the skill of Goan OUEIRLEY in hoodwinking Mr. GIICEI.OTAN, our Nicaraguan diplomacy has been of a most 'disastrous char acter.. The rights of our citizens have been sacrificed, Our most eligible route to Call,. fornia has been closed, and if it is ever opened again the indications are that it will be under the control of European Govern ments. Additional interest in Nicaraguan affairs has been created, and the germ of serious fu ture difficulties sown, by the arrival of the fa mous Monsieur BELLY, with his retinue of en gineers, sevens, laborers, etc., in Nicaragua. Their nominal object is the construction of a ship canal, a work of Herculean magnitude. It is estimated to cost $80,000,000, but many of those who have examined the subject pro nounce the scheme impracticable, and it is generally regarded as either a' gigantic stock swindle or a grand French colonization project, which will furnish LOWS NAPOLEON a pretext for obtaining a controlling influence in Con. tral America. The treaty with New Granada, which wee ratified not long since, has excited great dis satisfaction among the American residents on the Isthmus, and our affairs with that Govern ment seem to be ag. sadly mismanaged as our relations with Nicaragua. The Aspinwall cor respondent of the New York Times, waiting under date of April 4, says - " The intelligence of the ratification, by the Senate of the United States, of the treaty with New Grenade, caused a feeling of very-great repot among Ameriban citizens resident upon this Istli 'Moe.' The strongest objections which have been presented' against its ratification, and which should be kept before our countrymen, are: rtrat—Tha.t it brings no proteotion to the lives and property of American citizens crowing the Isthmus, and virtu ally diminishes that which they now receive from their own Government. Second—That if in noway settles the exceedingly important questions in dis pute' between the two Governments. either the postal tax, the tonnage duty, or the passenger tax on American °Mewl passing the Isthmus, and which taxes the Government of B ew Granada+) an not Impose in consequence of their contract with the Panama Railroad Company; all which ate etillelaimed by New Granada, and are understood ' to have been reasserted by their minister to the Secretary of State of the Baited States sines the reception of the modified treaty from Bogota, Third—That it will be constructed by New Gra nada to exclude the Panama Railroad Company, composed 'of citizens of the United States and their property—amounting to the enormous Invest ment of sB,ooo,ooo—from the protection of their own Government, for Josses sustained by them during the massacre of 1850, end from the expo , Sons and violations of their centred with the Go vernment of New Granada; and, Fourth—Be cause, by the abrogation of the seventh article of the treaty concluded at Washington, New Gra nada has shown a moat ungracious and unfriendly feeling towards the United States. "lint the most important objection is, that the treaty contains a fraud upon the Government of the United States in designating the fonds out of whisk the sufferers, by the muesaore and plunder of 1856, shall be remunerated for it is a well known feet among intelligent mercantile men upon this Isthmus, that the very rands doaignated have long since been hypotheoated to an Baglish house In Bogota. Bow then are our citizens to be paid for their losses? New Granada is a bankrupt State, with no credit abroad, and is frequently obliged topostpone payment of the salaries of her officers and employees. The general impression is, that General Herren has been playing a deep garde at Washington, and has at last succeeded in + throwing duet' Into the eyes of the American Secretary of State, as well ea the President, and that the settlement of the whole affair will event milli devolve upon a new Administration. In ouch an event, it, is to be hoped a more wise and dlr crest one than the present may be in power." IN the Court of Quarter Sessions yesterday, two Very important cases were disposed cf.

The court was opened this morning at about tho usual hour, but did not commence business till half past ten o'olook. TESTMONK FOR THE DEFENCE George B. Wooldridge was the first witness call ed for the defence. He was examined by . Mr. Brady. I reside in Magoff Valley, Sullivan °earl tk, Now York ; on the 27th of February last re aided at No. 531 Twelfth street, Washington; came bore in the latter part of November, to be here at the organization of the House of Representatives ; was a oierk under the clerk of the House; knew Mr Rey nt that time; never spoke to him but once or twice; on Saturday, 27th of February, I wee - in Fifteenth street, from very close to ten o'olook in the morning till three o'clock in the afternoon; I saw Mr. Sickles that afternoon, be tween four and five o'olook. at the Oapito Q What was at that time his appearco and condition? A. Whenj went first to him, be appeared diffe . - rent from wEat he had been the day before; he' appeared more like himself; he was in the hall at the rear of the Speaker's chair; we had a conver sation ; I got him to go into a rotiring-rrom, and there parted with him, after - endeaverina to pacify him; he was very much ended and distressed; there was no one with him in that room, when I left him; saw him no more that day; the time I left him was about five o'olook; saw him the next morning, about ten o'clock; in 'the library of his own house; his eyes were' blood-shot and red ; he approached me, and told me he had sent for me to oome there; [lnterrupted by the District Atter. ney his facie denoted that3he had been weeping; I remained in the house until all the strangers had left it. in the afternoon, •Q. -What was bis condition daring Om day ? A. lle noted like a man in great sorrow and distress; so much so that I watched for his comiog and going constantly. Q. :Why? Mr. Carlisle. That is not material Witness. There was a strange manner about him; he would go up stairs, and then come down stairs again ; then he would talk about matters, and go np stairs 'again; every time ho came into the room whero I was ho pressed his hands to his temples, and would go over to the secretary and sob; he appeared as if he was in great distress; every time these fits came upon him he would clasp hie temples and loan over in this way, (illus trating ; i he would sob and cry, so rouoh so that told him to give vent to his tears, as they would relieve him; sometimes these fits would take him before he. could got to the secretary, (where be went as if to hide himself,) and. then he would bow down his head as if his•etomach was giving way, and ho would be hardly able to reach the secretary for support Q. Did you see Mr. Key thot,San day ? A. I did, twice. Q Where, and when? A. Pirat, between ton and eleven o'olook, going out of the gate of Lafayette Square, on the oornor of Seventeenth and Pennsylvania avenne, near the War Moe, in tho street in which Mr. Sickles', house was. Q. In which direction did ho go 7 A. Ile crossed -the street and wont up the aye. nue, I presume ; I did not observe in what direc tion he turned his glance; the second time I saw him was about a quarter to two o'clock; di rectly under the library window' in Mr. Sickles' houso; , there were a lady and gentleman with him then; ha was on the side towards the ourb.sforie ; the lady was nest the railing; the 'three were in a direet line ; Mr. Siolties was oh stairs at that time; ho had:left the library anti gone up stairs. Q Did you observe Mr. Iry do anything while passing? riaw him take hip handkerchief °up of his pociret and 'wave it three tidies; while doing to, his eyes ware towards the upper window of•frjr. Sickles' home ; he kept his eyes from the gentle. man, as if be did not Isiah him to see what he was doing; he parted with the lady and gentleman at the corner, entered the park, and -propeoded the 4heotion of Madison Pines; some five mi nutealefore that gr. Sickles had gone pp stairs; saw him enter the library door two minittes After; heard some one coming down staire'very rapidly, and came into the library; he said, !, the iditaf;tt has jilt passed my house." District Attorney. Do uot state what be said. Mr. Brady. What did he do? Witness Ile was very exalted ; he talked for II moment with Mr. Butterworth, who endeavored to oaths him; he appeared to resist these attempts to calm him, and threw Mr. Butterworth MT, an turned into the hall ;Aso had nothia hat on at that time; that is the last I saw of him till he come into the house vi lb the ineers; MayorDerret wee there. and",eaptain Goddard, bir. Walker, Mr, Moßlair, and some other genticmon I woo then sitting in an easy chair near the library window; Mr. §iokles came into the library, and then want out as ir to go up stairs; knew he was in the parlor after that ; saw Butter*ortia and Walker go into that room; the door.betweeit the rebate wasolosed• I remained in the library, • Q. Did you bear his sobbing, arid so arthl Mr. Carlisle. That Is g leedjagquestlea: Mr. Wadi did not know that fbey Could be held down to a mere matter of form. Q. Did you hear Anything of Mr. Siohlea While in the parlor? , A NO, sir; my attention was directed to the persons in the, rzom with me; I wee' very much excited ; I never want teimP :VAL awSillor day as , that. Mr. Brady proposed to prove what produced the state of mind in which Mr. Sickles was when wit ness saw him at the flapitol, on Saturday s and asked the latter whether ho made ao oommunl• cation to him at that time. ' Mr. Ould ohjseted, saying it was proposed net only to 'prove the nature of the communicatiee, 'but that the entire subject matter should be given in evidence to the jury, in cenneetien , pith the excited state of the prisoner's mind. • Insanity is a feat distinctly capable of proof. If this comma. nioation is offered in evidence to shore the insanity of the prisoner, it is uncertain, unreliable, and leads to no fixed and sure °Manion. Whatever the nature of the communication, it dose not fol. low, as a matter of mien and reasoning, inanity necessarily or probably took place. ,it does not rim to the dignity of secondary eviderioe. The only proper evidenee would. bo a manifestation of mental disease given by . the prisoner, either 'at the time the commueldatepn eras made or subse quently, up to the commission of 'the hemietdo. The creation was, whether this evidence could be given for any other purpose than to show lie state pf mental disease on the part of the pill ioner at the bee? Could It, in any sense, be offered for the parpeee of satisfying the court and jury that there was provosatioh of any kind.; that the pri eoney was entirely and properly under the lop once of a heated or excited mind, whittle inflamed it to anger or drove him to revenge ? Could it bo offered for any such purpose as that? All the au- Meriden clearly show Wives incompetent for any such purpose. Even adultery does net offer anY ex- Ones or . inttilloation, swim the husband catches Me wife in the cot; then the offence is reduced from murder to manslaughter. Mr. Brady said his learned opponent might" argue on adultery as long as hie convenience, taste, or ,judgment might permit. On that point, we, he laid, are quite as well prepared as the learned and eminent counsel (for, they are both eminent) may be. We do not propose to discuss any such Racal= now. I thought:l had ftiVell my friend a distinct understanding millet effect. Mr. Oald replied that he was aware of that, but it moue rily Shut out the evidence it ores now proposed to offer. He understood the propo sition of the defence lobe this: 'that on Saturday a oertain communlostion connected with the 'Dint terous intercourse of the prieoner'er wife woe made to the prisoner at the bar, which ',threw him into such a state of mind es 'demonstrated insanity, or such a state of excitement whichibed tense rela tion to insanity, or rage, or,frenzy Such evidence as mope short of insanity :is load miscible. If insene, the prisoner could not be made to suffer Ile then eueted From North Carolina decisions, Bth Imitate ponetetee deci sions, Bth Iredell, the Slate against joint, in which the prisoner's counsel insitied that a know. ledge or belief of adulterous intoreourse mitigated the crime from murder to manslaughter- The court reieeted the evidence. The counsel offered to prove, not that the demand was found In the fact of adultery at tbo time the homicide Was committed, but that adultereue Date:ems. et some time bad occurred between the perties, and, us be had. before said, counsel insisted a knowledge, or even snob a belief, by the prisoner, would mitigate the crime from murder to manslaughter. Alt the authorities, Hale, Foster, East, Russell, and Week stone, aro against the course now proposed, :end Ouliefurther argued that to extenuate the of• feriae the husband must fled thts, deceased in the act of adultery with the prisoner'lwife. ;The rule of Judge Battle was on the nf,the evidence. The proposition was that such evidence was competent to ba offerel ; • bedause, if the jury believed the evidenoo, they old reduce the, of fence from murder to mansion hter. The deci sion was against this; for if t e evidence fell short of ehowing the parties wore ea.sght in the foot, it was incompetent for any such pu•pore. Was not this identieelly the game ease? It Was merely proposed to offer a oortaip statement mails to the witness by the prisoner at the hur, net under the solemnity of en oath. After further ergo. ment, he said it seemed to the counsel for the Vat ted States that the statement seds entirely and to• tally incompetent as evidence. Mr. Stanton replied. The evidence offered pre sented one proposition entirety ifferent thorn that argued by the public promouto At the moment of the not of homicide the prisener dooltred that the deceased had violated hie hod. On the pre view; day he is found terribly excited by a clergy man of thin eity,•who met him that sauce evening. He appeared defiant and desilate, and in that same condition he is traced down to.the moment of the homicide and afterwords. ;No one who hoard the testimony of Mre Walker, would ever forget it. The defence here proposed to prove; as partly accounting for this condition, that a certain own. munination was made to him. ; The public prose. outor objeete to that, and, folidsving the argument of his associate yesterday, intimates that there are two (flosses of men on whom that communication weld produce lesanity - • . Who was to judge of that? ' Not the start, but the jury. They ere to determine no to how this communication would act an 'the reason of this prisoner. The public procreator had, however, undertaken to argue that the Offenee of slaying an Mutterer cannot be rodyeed from murder to man slaughter unless the husband had senior demon stration of the fact. He denied that that was law. He denied that it had ever been so decided, and he denied, in the name of huManity, that it would ever bo so decided. The counsel wanted it under stood and held in mind that, nithOugh the prisoner, et the time of the homicide. Teetered that the de ceased bad dishonored his bed, yet the corrospon. dense between the prisoner ,and the deceased In reference to the prisoner's wife had been excluded ; but yet counsel did not complain of the ruling. So, too, a oomuannioaf ion from the wife to the husband, which was enough to induce the pridoner to anon. floe, not one life, but a whole hecatomb of lives, Was exoluded ; and here a ocenmunioation from a third party, of a .character to mfoot the pri• sonar, is offered to be proved, and the proem tion object to it. The case cited by the public pro mentor, in Bth Irodell's N. C. Reports, Was the ease of a slave wife Was it true that the condition of a free man's wife was the liondition'of a slave ? lie denied it, and three wail pot a man within tho sound pf his velim who wopld not wade knee doe? in blood to gainsay mob a proposition. - If Philip Barton Key owned a married woman as a slave he might place a halter around her nook and leadher to the shambles, but could he do so with a free we- • man? The ,prosecution in their thirst for blood had forgotten the institution of slavery, for the judges had laid down the principle that ne oivil • rights are acquired by a slave on account of mar• nage; but the very evidence which in that North Carolina case was excluded on the - point of justi fication, was admitted on the point of showing the prisoner's mind.; That was all they claimed in this MM. They only demanded for the prisoner at the bar the same right aeoorded to a North Carolina slave. He would show that never in England, singe the time of Charles the Second, in a ease ad judged by ',Wale, one of the moat porrantjcolges of a corrupt age, had a utau,been punished for slay-, ing the man who bad deSehthed his hosed). and now it was to be aeon whether that was - Amerioan law. If it was, his Honor would bo the first judge in this country who bad held that the man who had slain his we's adulterer was a murderer; and was not to place in evidence the justification of his ant. I will stew you, moreover, the counsel proceeded, that never in this land has it been so held—that never on the civilized earth has it been so held— that never by any judicial tribunals, anywhere, has it been so held. When that question comes up, I will shake hands with this prosecution. and meet them upon it. Hare, your Henri., yon have to say whether this evidence is to be abut out' against a freeman who has vindicated the honor of the marriage relation. If it be your Honor will be -the first to may that a man shall be punished who, under the influence of the passions exalted by his outraged honor, humanity; nature, and feeling, has slain the corrupter of his wife, the adulterer, the violator of his bed, and the dishon orer of his home. Counsel then referred to Judge Crawford's ruling in the Tarboe ease and in Day's ease. and claimed that these rulings oovered the ground here, and authorized the introduction of the evidence proposed. Ho naked that these prin. 0 - ples, and the ordinary feelings of humanity would be recognised, the ordinary rules of evi. dance, followed, and that this evidence should not be excluded, in order that vengeance might obtain the blood of this prisoner who was so fiercely hunted. Mr. Onld responded . The anneal for the do• fence bad insinuated that the public prosecutor wag actuated by a thirst for blood, and that he hunted down the prisoner to vengeance. Mr: Stanton disclaimed making such a charge. Mr. Odd said he would let his arguments and conduct in this ease go before the court and before the world in contrast with the disreputable rant which this counsel (pointing to Mr. Stanton) had exhibited. There was no place where gentlemanly • feelings could bo better shown than in a forensic contest of this nature, and so there was no place where vulgarity and rudeness could be better ex; hibited. There seemed to be divisions assigned to the counsel for the defence—to come high tra gedy—to' some comedy—to some the part of walk ing gentleman, and one appeared to fill the office of clerical sups to set the theological part of the house in order. One of the counsel hadloarried on that part--whether assigned to him or not—of the bully. and the bruiser. [Sensation in the court J He one bad a greater dislike to personal an.

Ile stood here under the solemn responsi bilities of his with, and had endeavored to dis charge his duty faithfully as a public:, prosecutor. He had not now, and never had, a prejudice or ill feeling against the prisoner at the bar. If, how ever, he believed that the prisoner at the bar had imbrued hie hands in a fellow-creature's blood, he would not bo restrained-from declaring it. He did not call murder gentleness. or malice good feeling. He had only risen now for the purpose of r elieving himself from an aaversion winch had hoop waptoply, and he believed vindictively, made against him. The exigencies of this case, perhaps, had,demanded that, before this, he should have vmdipatecl himself from the aspersions mode against him- in the course of this ease.- He was glad to have the opportunity of doing so now. Mr. Stanton, who was seated beside Mr. OM during thelatter's remarks, rose, earnestly saying : I know mg duty to my client, to, the cause, to so ciety, and to myself, too well to allow myself to be drawn aside by any each personal considerations. I am not to be drawn from the principle of law by any such input of the counsel for the proeecution. I will leave his course and place to be judged of by the whole world. If his eourse Is justified by his being public proseentor, be it so. I say the law be presents here is not adapted to Om state of pociety.

It he had no other motive for being brief ho would he ad ineoithed to be brief by the heated air of this court-room, which was already•testing his strength. He *as at a loss ta know on what distinct ground this evidence wee offered. qtanton qgclnrod it wns offered to aoeount foethe state of mina pi widen tip prisoner was elsosin to tie ; , ' Judge. Spit is understood. - ParlisleWould then Inquire whether it was admissible fop that pageoe. it was not compe tent to prove insanity hy deolarations or mon re:lntentions of other parties, but by the aota- and dealarallOne 'of the prisoner himself. If any of •the« progreslitas" of the law could show that any other' principle had ever obtained he should like to have the oase pointed out to him. What ever eoilitunnioition this witness, like Togo, poured Into the ear of his friend—if he might be permitted to refer to a ploy which seemed to be the special priperty of his friend on the other side—was not losbortant, he effect which that communication produced on the priisinerls ruled was thq only thing that was important., to the aqta and 'declara tions of the prisoner himself the widest latitude had been Given, to paint his state of mind through the descriptions given by the witnesses fur the defciitd, Counsel then referred to the ease of the State against Toby, § Roden fro wag much sur prised, thot the counsel who had adiponished bins the other day not to introduce simony into this matter, had tinder takqn to denponce that de olden beams* ft was made for 11119C11 and the 'wives of slaves, not for freemen or the wives of freemen. They knew that no distinction was made in the ruins of evidence as between slaves and freemen. Mr. Stanton. In that case, how did Flora, the wife, come to be examined ? Mr. Carlisle did not deny that there were some peculiar laws In the States where elavery existed. In North Carolina the wife of a slave might be examined against her husband. Tadao. It Viet be po, beemose slaves cannot con tract a mairlaee. Mr. Stanton. Precisely; that is the point. Mr Carlisle. At the same time, the natural re..' Wiens between the slave husband and wife ate recognised. Whoever else might have been ex pected to be affected by the denunciation of the lair made for a eleye man, as applied to a free man, his. Honer would not be affototed by it. " knew bow much it was worth. In that ems of John, the court said, tot only that the evidence was inadmissible on the point of reducing the of fence from murder to manslaughter, bat, by the plainest• implication, that It was not admissible on the point of insanity. In that ease the offer was not to prove that the prisoner bad boon informed that the adultery had taken place; but the offer wag to prove the adultery itself, and the evidence was rejected. A bill of exceptions was taken,and the Court of Appear decided that no evidence which the prisoner had been entitled• to introdace was rejected. .How paid they any so, if the fact of the adultoty having been commi tted could affect the sanity or insanity of the prisoner? Do gen tlemen mean to say that if the evidence was Im material either in point of justification or in eclat of ineanity, the Court of Appeals would sot have (teetered it-admissible? It is the duty of the judge, if he sees that evidence susceptible of hat vial; any operation on the defonoe has been reject ed, to remand the case, and order the evidence ,to he admitted.. North Carolina, however, is not se fact a State no New York. The rules of law there hal a soundness of foundation which ho confessed he liked. The judges there had not arrived at the point of edmittiog evidoree, not that a man was mad, but that he ought to have boon mad. That was the point hero. Gentlemen might use all their ingenuity, but they could not mane this precise issue—" Was the prisoner insane?" Not that ho " ought to have been insane' If the effect was oho " crei ' , 0n0," investigate the clause. of it: If it was not shown that he was mad " cui bow)," investigate whether there had been until plant canoe to out him mad. Lot them prove, if his Keane thought it material, not that the prisoner bad been informed of a certain state of facts, hut that the fecte did really exist. Mr Stanton read pert of the prase of John, in Iredell, referred to in the argument, to show that the evidence, which was rejected under the head of justification, was admitted under the head of Insanity. As 'lto relations of counsel to elavery bed been referred to, be would State here that he had the blood of slaveholding parents in hie vein.. His father load been a North Carolinian and Ms mother, a Virginian. Mr. Carlisle That is an important filet, which I 'bole will be chronicled, like all other things that take place hero, when the gentleman canoes to have his biography written in connection with the doctrine which he has tem-eased and main tained in this cage. Mr. Stanton. The doctrines which he has main tained bore in defence of homes and families will be the proudest legacy ho will leave to his chil dren `Suppressed applause. Mr ()artiste. No doubt of it.' No person can doubt the eat newness of the gentleman as to his doctrines i but unless tba earnestness and fire with whiehehese conolustens are announced are to he taken as indloations of their soundness. I shall beg leave to gonsider these opinions and declarations in themselves, and the manner in which they are brought to notice': I do not agree with the geotlemen, end I am sure he does not expect me to agree with hint. Mr. Stanton. Certainly not. I appeal to the hearts of other men. Mr. Carlisle. Thom aro a great variety of ha man hearts in this world. I& Stanton. Yes, sir; and some of them very bad ones Mr. Carlisle. And I mil happy to say that mine does not contain many &logs which seem to exist to the hearts of some other people; though, like all other bunion hearts. I suppose that it 18 filled with much it would be better were out of it. Mr Stanton It would be better if there were something also in it. The Judge. Really, gentlemen, this thing must be interrupted. Mr Carlisle lam Addressing myself to your Manor. I shall say no more about this, beoauee I really feel quite indifferent to the observations made, and shall take no further note of them. Mr. ,Stanton. Then proceed with your argu ment. Mr. Carlisle closed his argument against the ad missibility of the evidence. , The Judge. The proposition, as I understand it, Is to receive evidence of a communication made by the witness on the stand to the prisoner, to prove or to aid in proving the insanity of the pris oner at the time of the commission of the offence. That is the distinot and single ground on which the proposition is now put. Mr. Stanton. Proctieolp. The Judge I wish that to be marked, because my opinion might vary in partioular aspoote, and I do not want to commit myself more than is ne emery . Mr. Stanton, That Is the precise point we on. cony. The Judge. I thiA this evidence, offered as a link in the obain to prove insanity, in not receive. 'ble. The jury are to judge how far tho insanity exists, strengtboned by the evidenoeot Nth nob as usually characterize derangement of the mind, if proved. But the communication of AB to the prisoner, or of any given number of persons, in regard to insanity, cannot, I think, go to the j try. Exception was taken to the ruling. Mr. Stanton. Will your Honor be good enough to explain a little further, so that we can under stand your Honor's views on that point? Your Honor says it cannot be admitted on the point of insanity ? The Judge. As tending to produce insanity was a cause that would probably produce ins inily. Mr. Stanton. Hut if coupled with evidence of insane acts, what then? All that we desire is to got in evidence that will save the prisoner's life—of course the jury to be the ultimate de terminers of the facts. If there be any view in which we can get it in, we would be glad to be in formed of it by the court. • The Judge. Igo no farther than to give this par ticular opinion, because I foresee that.there will be a great many discussions on this point, and I do not choose to commit myself incidentally. • Mr. Stanton. Can your Honor suppose any given state of facts, which, connected with this proof, would render it admissible? - • - Tho Judge. I wilt not touch that. Mr. Stanton. Then, your Honor will allow us to go and fled it ont. The Judge. Whenever you reach a stage where you think any particular piece of evidence is ad missible, you can air it, and the court wits do aide it. Mr. Stanton. Your Honor will recollect that we are trying togot evidence to save the prisoner's life. Mr. Brady. In order to prevent its bele? said hereafter that the ehattge of Mr. Sickles' mind' od , Saturday was produced by a communication re ferring to some subject; other than that which was in point of fact made, we offer it in a distinct form to prove this: that the witness had, communi sated te'Mr. Sickles that en the Thursday (the 23 , 1 of February) preceding the decease of Mr Key, Mr. Key had gone with Mrs. Sickles to a house Fifteenth street, in Washington, which was hired by Mr, Key for the exclusive purpose of there having adulterous connection with her; that Mr. Sickles having investigated that statement made by Mr. Wooldridge, ascertained that Mrd. Sickles had riot been there omattraday. but she bad been there on Wednesday with Mr. Key, and they were seen by the whole neighborhood. And it was the revelations made by Mr. Wooldridge to Mr. Siokles of the feet that he had made a mis take in the day, that removed from Mr. Siekles' mind the presumption that his wife was innocent, and produced the conviction that ebe-was The Judge made a memorandum of the question, and read it to Mr. Brady, who said it was substan tially correct Mr. Wooldridge was then set aside to be here. after cross-examined. John Ouyler was sworn.—Knew the late Mr. Key for three or four years; knew where Mr. Sickles resided ; saw Mr. Key in the vicinity of the house a week before his death. Mr Oarlisie said, that having been informed that the counsel on the other side intended to in terrogate the witness about the handkerchief, the *mensal for the 'United States objeoted to the ques- tion. They did not see its relevancy, either on the question of provocation or the question of in sanity, or any other question arising out of this The Judge It is now too late to abut the door on that kind of evidence. Mr. Carlisle. This evidenee has relation to something which occurred a week before the event. Mr. Brady. We want to know whether Mr. goy waved his handkerchief to wile the admiration of the dog, or anything else. (Laughter.] The witness resumed : As I en'ered the corner gate of Lafayette Square, I saw Mr. hey enter the earner gate, proceeding to the front of the Jackson statue; he took a seat on an iron bench, rested his head on his left hand, then pulled out his hand kerchief and waved it; I went behind the statue and watched him; he waved his handkerchief this way (Illustrating), and then looked at the house of Mr. Sickles, [laughter ;) there woe no dog about at the time ; this was between 12 and 1 o'clock ; I left him in the square, as I went but of the northeast gate to go home I left him sit ting there; when .

[For The,Pregn ] For some years past the streets, instead of being sprinkled in summer, have been inundated, as it wore, with water, so as to make them muddy and disagreeable. This plan of watering the streets was done, I presume, to save time on the part of the contractor. It is true, the dust ,was laid, but in Its place was left a viscid mud, unpleasant to look at and to endure This mud rendered the streets, and even the crossings, disagreeable, and could not be healthy. On business streets persona wishing to erase over were often prevented by the mud, and theaonaegnenee was that business was impeded.- Another great evil is the great waste of water by this method—and at a season, too, when to -mush it required for domestic purposes, and whenit Is sometimes difficult to got a suffieiett supply in our houses. Improvement is the order of tlse,day, and I am pled to find that Mr. Ifyne man has proposed to Council a plan of sweeping the, streets by night, and judiciously sprzu &lug them by day, so that, in addition to the saving It will be to the city, we shall have Olean- streets, rendered cool and pleasant by repeated sprinkling, if necessary, adding another attraction to our -pleasant city, and to the comfort of its inhabitants.
