The Washington Tragedy and Trial.
We- are
,net - of 'those who have regarded,
,
Oither the details of the harrowing tragedy at
:Iffrishington,,Or the proceedings of the re.
'Stilling trial, as .the most delectable of Intel.
'actual enjoyments. We have not even read
vihat has tnnin• So fully published in our own
'ctrlntaros:' excluding the revolting confes
'sten of an unfortunate woman:we acted upon
-the ithpulde that , has always decided us in ex
binding 'questionable reading of any kind from
Able paperiand
,we are glad that for doing so
,441 r 'course is generally sustained. Claiming
no excess of-delicacy in the premises, we sub.
niit - whether the elaborate republication of
Saab, matter, as enters into this trial is not
caleniated to produce a large crop of evil. ,
Flaunted in:the
. eyes of all' women and
men in one Shape, or the other; thus.
tested in millions of cheap newspapers;
stating at ;its from street corners; 'rung into
our ears in railroad cars, and constituting the
'xibjeet for conversation in every circle, great
aridtunall, high and ion-, the public mind be.
cenies :saturated with, -and familiarized' to,
obrenfties, and the appetite of youth and age
41 4M:4s hi *kit it feeds upon.'? It is not
the fault - so much of the newspapers that this
latio dO not see that those who pan
dem* particularly, to this appetite are the
papers most eagerly sought and bought 1 The
mibjeat may at last be satiated, however, by
the tallions over-dose; and as the trial is, n e
we, hope and - trust, rapidly approaching its
Cleats, may we ,not also hope and trust that our
miblic.joumats will, hereafter, refuse to sur
render .theinselv)es to - such a rivalry as that
which now. exists between them, in the repro
diction of-nauseous and contaminating details
of imnari depravity and 'revenge T That Hr.
Sicaitas shotdd have deemed it necessary to
protest against the unauthorized publication
of the,r,onfession was what might have been
'tweeted. Anotherconsequence of the bust
,ness of nationalizing this trial is to be found
iq the acerbity which has grown up between
the counsel in the case itself. There is as
great aetteggle between the, lawyers, in their
itttellectual tourneys, as between the news
papers:in. the
_efforts after "items" of the
tragedy itself. :Meanwhfle, the prisoner at the
bar is almcist lost sight of, and he is compelled
.14 ihninie the one or to read with breaking
hiart;,the other. The prosecution threatens
to beisoine a persecution, and the justification
o ttidleed, bide fair to be lost sight of to
giatify the feeling, local and otherwise, which
is being aroused against the prisoner.
'l77*it hite made arrang ements to have the
tall prOosedingt,of the ,late emooratio Conran-,
Con published in pamphlet form. The whole will
Ani carefully revised and gotten up in good style.

Jouflnat coneur in severe condetunaMan of the
coarse 'ef , the :New -York Central Railroad
'COMPanylit the struggle for the Western and
Southern trade. Every day goes to show that
Bhiladelphia needs but a little time to place
her :preeminent 'in the rage of commercial
superiority. When the Sunbury: 'and' Erie
Railway shall open to us the enormous trade
of the lakes, our beautiful city will then be
come the reservoir of a vast internal trade
concentrated here by the Baltimore and
Ohio on .tho South, by the Pennsylvania
Central through the Middle, and by the Sun
bury. and Erie Railroad from the Northwest.
Let us prepare for, in order that we may be
Worthy Of, this great' future.' The folloWing
extraete, from the papers alluded to, will
I be read with treat Merest
" Philadelphia and Baltimore have a natural ad
vantage in shortness of routes to - -the West of, at
the' least calculation, $4 a ton over New York.
The Central has made a compact allowing for this
difference, but theta, natural advantages were so
perceptible, in her receipts, that she broke it, and
did this in the most dishonorable - manner. Fur
thermore, these natural advantages will be felt
the 881818 in any arrangement made that does not
discriminate in price so as to counteract them , _ and
this, it is not likely the Philadelphia and Balti
more routes will concede ; therefore it - is not any'
incompatibility in the managers of these roads that
Prevents an -arrangement, but the , fact that the
New York Central cannot accede to -a fair ar
rangement without losing a large portion of its
through business, -
The New York Central seems, for some cause
or other; in a desperate necessity for an increase
of receipts. Before the opening of•iiike naviga. ,
lion her agents contracted freight at lake ports,
by propeller to Buffalo, and thence by sail to-New
York, at 300. per 100 pounds . Witbiu ; a few days
freight has been carried from Chkage to 'New
York, over the northern lines. at twenty-two cents
Per 100 pounds. On the same day the rate from

centre at: certain points to the exclusion of
other portions of the land, and more especially
the South; Southwestern, and Western sections

lakes, through the instrumentality of time ached

Unjust in the highest degree to the holders of rail

" It: is in view of this one-aided and Illiberal
-policy, aided, as it appears to have been, by utter
faiiblessnesa to arrangements solemnly concluded
and agreed upon, that wo have taken especial
pleasure in seeing the bold and manly stand as
sumed and fully maintained by the president
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, the ._great
eonnecting link between the Southern and West
ern railroads., and those to the north of Bal

the North is so fond of seetionalising even
railroads, so as to place the South at a disad
vantage, .it is to be hoped that the South, South

It will thus be aeon whether the Southern and
Southwestern States, with their cotton, sugar,
tobacco, rice and other products, are not entitled
to some consideration to making the arrangements,
"and- whether the producers in those sections of
Country will not prefer the chord to the are of the
bo'r in transporting their staple commodities to a
market. The Conventionjust closed at Columbus,
Ohio, will doubtlees have done something definitive
in forming a system of railroad connections at the
Smith, Southwest, and West, -independent of the
action of Northern roads, or, rather, the dictation
of the New York Central Railroad.
"If New York merchants aro as shrewd as they
are supposed to be, they will at once see the propri

goods and passengers by the most direst and safest
routes to the sections of the country south and west
of Baltimore. Of the regions above referred to, the
roads which connect with the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad are the legitimate highways, and are din

admirably in this odd drama. There will be be

evening, Mr. J. B. Clarke meets his friends, and
will present the following performances: "Beth
Slope, or Done for a Hundred," written by Ster
ling Coyno for the late George H. Hill, in which
Clarke will represent four characters; a new
farce, by Mr. MoCiees, of Philadelphia, entitled
"Joseph's Coat;" the lively farm of " Bob Net

Mr. Clarke will play the leading parts; and "The
Maid of Munster," in which Mrs. Drew, and
Messrs. Wheatley and John Gilbert will appear.
This is an extremely strong bill, and, even if
Clarke were not the tavorite that ho in, ought to
crowd and cram the theatre.
Mr. Showell; one of the most rising, because he
is intelligent and studious, of our young performers,
will have a benefit here on Thursday, and an

himself, with Mis. Drew as Julie, Mr. Wheatley

how extremely fine was Mr. Showell's representa

that his Rte./is/feu will ba a thoughtful, able, and
impressive performance.'
Mr. Wheatley announces his benefit for Satur
day next. The performances will include "The
Married Rake," the comedy of "The Follies of a

is a very good company at. the Moh-atreet Theatre,

WALNUT• r IITRENT TIIKATRE.—Oritios, after all,
are only mortal—liable to the pains and aches of

rem We are informed that the Wainut.street
Theatre has been well attended during the past
week, From the same sources we learn, from our
play-goers, that Miss Fitz-Farren is already a most
admirable notion; with great originality of style;
while another impresses upon tts his convictions
that her acting is only a well-tutored imitation of
the extravagant Western style of her mother,
who is famous for tearing passion into . tatters.
This evening, mother and daughter appear to

for them, called "The Widow's Stratagem." We

interesting Case of Swindlin g.
A very singular oaee, and onenf considerable
interest to a commercial community, was tried at
February tileSsion, in Westmoreland county,
The evidence disclosed a most eatraordinary
and elaborate .soheme of villainy, which had for•
its object the swindling of several of our mar- ,
°haute heroin Philadelphia, but which they were
unwilling M allow to go, unpunished, and they
therefore interested theniselVes Somewhat in the
conviction of the offenders.
' It appeared on the trial before Judge Buffing
ton, that two brothers, named Bamuel and IMO
Horner, conceived a plan to swindle a certain
Jacob Repot°, a neighbor of theirs, out of some
$l,OOO or $1,200, whisk they hiew he was about
to receive as the balancie of the purchase money
of a farm he had Bold to pay his debts. This
Nopple was a man of very intemperate habits,
and so simple and ignorant that he kneW nothing
of any kind of business. Ulm thoy prootued to go
into partnership With Isaac) Romer for one year
as retail Merchants. This firm was so managed
that at the end of the year, Kepplo's money was
all gone ; but be had one•half of the remnant of
their stock, and he was in debt about the value of
that for money borrowed to pay their debts in the
East. Elated at the success with which they forma
kepple could be cheated, they came to the conclu
sion to make nee of him in oheatingthe Philadel
phia merchants—becauso if they could only get
material into ICepple'a hands they knew very well
how to get it out, his stupidity opposing no bar-.
rier to their rapacity.
Danz Romer and Kopek) then having divided
their stook, and borrowed. money enough to pay
the debts they owed in Philo&tibia, they decided
that Kepple should go along to buy for himself, on
hie own account. Re and Isaac reached the city
first, and Isaac having -Tolled their money in
packages, labelled with the amount and name of
the house to which eaoh parcel was owing, he
gave them to ICepple to carry, and they eat out to
w.pe off the old scores , ffepple, who seetned to be
the treasurer, performed his part admirably, and
at every halt pulled out the exact amount due the
creditor with as much precision as any old farmer
could do, while Isaac hinted that he was sound to
any 'amount. After having paid off all claims, the
two appeared again to pqrchase a new stock for
Rapple, in which Isaac officiated not only to select,
the goods purchased, but also id vouch for the
solemncy of the buyer.
Commencing with a principal and heavy house
on Market street, they bought large bills in that
vioinity, enough for any one establishment such
as ffepple's ; the latter, being, however, entirely
innocent of either the quality or quantity of the
goods his ardent friend was making him the own
er of.. They then went to Third street, and be.
ginning 'with a well•kpown and leading house on
Third Street, they bought on that Street, perhaps,
still more than on Market street.
Kepple, In the meanwhile, being unable to re
frain from his besetting sin, was observed to be
considerably drunk, and Isaac was called upon to
explain, lie attributed it to the excitement of
suoh a great city; remarking, at the same time,
that it. was naturally weak in , the knees, and
that he was not so bad as he seemed; while at
home he was a sober man. Still, this did not ea-
SOY the vendors, who informed Isaac that they
Would not deliver the goods sold to K. till they
had seen Sanaliel Horner, who bad followed to the
city two days after. When Samuel came on, be
endorsed the etatements of Imo as to Kap
plars sobriety, solvency, the., getting . Kepple,
at the same time, to tell that be was about
to receive some SI 000 for a farm he had soldi and
thathe could pay for all the goods he had: bought
• WithaTlFfeliing 0 - 7), hieitale of them to raise ;the
money. Moved by these represeittailies, the
came to the conclusion to ship the goods to
the plane of their destination. Here another trick
was played upon Kepple, because, at first, ho had
directed all his goods to be sent to Greensburg,
Pa. ; but the Hornets afterwards went to the
Third-street homes and had the goods bought
there re-marked, directing them to Oonitelhiville,
about sixty miles by railroad beyond Greensburg.
An this done, and for fear that Hopp's, might, by
his drunkenness, do something to spoil the plot
now in such good shape, they took him to the
house of a relative, a few miles from the city—
there to remain while they made their purchases
—whioh they did very sparingly, the two not buy
ing more than half as mush as Isaac had selected
for Kepple.
On their return home, Kepple received the goods
Sent to Greensburg, but those sent to Oonnedirrille
were taken from that station by Isaac Horner, and
very few of them given to K., who went on in niter
ignorance of the whole matter, and keeping Store
in such a manner, that in about three months they
thought he was in a proper condition to be drawn
into bankruptcy, and, as they were his sureties for
the payment of the money be had borrowed to
pay off the debts of Horner 4t Kermit), they notiflel
the creditor to push. Kepple then confessed a
judgment, and his store was levied upon and tgid,
the greater part of it for some $5OO or $6OO ; Out
while this was doing, the Hornets both addend
Kepple'ellaughters to carry off and seerotepor
lions of the goods, in order afterwards to turn pub
lic, attention to them, and at the same time ac
count for the non-appearance of a large .inamity
of Kepplo's goods, whieh Isaac then had in his
store. As soon as they bad seduced the poor girls
into this offence, they then disclosed the fret to
some of the creditors, thinking in this to woven
themselves.
Their game, however, was about' played out—
for, at this time, ono of the Third-street defrauded
merchants made his appearance in Westmoreland
county, and, after reconnoitring the ground, he
came to the conclusion that there were tore agn
ates at work to matter Kepple's property than his
own improvidence or that of his family. Re was
led to inquire whnt bad become of stab a large
stook of goods in so short a time? lad Kepple
got the goods sent to Connllsville for him? The
Third-street marabout went to the stops of Isaac,
and examining his stook found a considerable
quantity of goods which he had sold to Kepple
some months before, with all the ear :Jerks upon
them That night Isaac removed them goods, (as
it afterwards appeared, to Samuel Horror's store,)
and in a short time after sold his store to Samuel
and loft the country.
One of the Market-street merchants then oame
on to the rescue, and he and the other merchant
having procured a warrant, they Aisarobed the
store of Samuel, and found large quantities of goods
sold to Kepple by them in the spring, and which
he had evidently never received. The marks' at
this time were all defseed,.or attempted to bo de
faced, but enough remained to identify them ful
ly. The two norners 'Were then Wieted at No
vember sessions for a conspiracy tq defraud and
obtain goods for Kepplo by false Interlace, ;
but as Inn had run away, the trial proceeded at
February sessions against Simnel alone, and the
great difficulty was to oonnaot hip all the way
through with Isaac's operations, nd satisfy the
jury that both were working upon s common plan
to achieve a common purpose. It Wee done, how
ever, so clearly as to !warm doubt in the mind
of any one, and he was convlated.! The trial last
ed several days, and demonstrated that, however
carefully snob schemes aro planned and executed,
enough always remains to bear witness against
those engaged in them.

The Inouncement of Mr. Brady yesterday at
ternoon that if be had the sole conduct of the
Blokies o tse; he would insist that Key was killed
in the of adultery within the full meaning .of
the Imre, nd that the testimony of the prosecution
had peied it, has led to a very spirited, ably con
duotedand lengthy discussion, in which Messrs.
Cutlet Phillips, Graham, and Quid participated.
Brady: Idea was to prove a standing adulterous
intertwine between Key and Dire. Sickles for he
held tat Key having hired a house for the ex
press ernes° of meeting the wife of another man,
and sh having met him, they wore literally in a
state if actual adultery all the time, and that
conseuently, it was not necessary to catch them
in theist to justify the killing of the adulterer.
Title views, in oonneotion with the five propo-
MUM; which the defence altered to prove, struck
Mr. tirliale as being of the greatest importance,
and h spats() at great length against the admissi.
bilityof the testimony offered. Ho held that the
partis should be caught In flagrante ddielit to
justif the killing, and that, under any other Mr
ourannoes, it was murder. He also held that Sic
kles, nowing his wife to be a confirmed adulteress,
and tat thus she was more dead to him thin if in
her gtve, and that, consequently, he was not bound
to,deind her. Key's presence, waving the hand
herelat, on Sunday, as a signal for outrage on
Siekitivife, wee, In Mr. Carlisle's opinion, no in
eitemmt to the deed ; for Mr. Mottles was already
awaresinee the night previous, that he could not
be outiged. Mrs. Sickles was beyond outrage in
being)) habitual adulteress.
In cephatio manner, the assistant proseeator
protesti that he meant to try this ease on the
prinoipm of Suttee, Truth, and Christianity, and
desirodto die before the trial was ended if he
Awervei from them. In reply to the line of argu
ment otiefenee, that society had not kept its com
pact wit Mr. Sickles—oonfidlng in the commu
nity, lubrouglit his wife hare, and he was not
protectd against the evils brought on him by the
adultere—Mr. Carlisle said there was a law
against clattery ; it was a misdemeanor, punisha
ble wade a law of Maryland.
Mr. Degrader asked Mr. Carlisle., if he was
aware d the penalty of the Maryland sot, and
not beitt answered, informed the bar that the fine
waslivenandred pounds—of tobacco.
Gebam,, in an under tone, said that the
only thl left for the sufferer from adultery was
to.,ttibirattrtr. to_elaew tobacoo, To which a by.
dander- remerkett-thittr'nfireattia - mar put - it in
his pipe and smoke it." [A titter, which who Sip
preked by the deputy_ marshal's deputy.]
Mr. Phillips followed in a speech 'of great
ty. , Mr. Phillips is a gentleman over the medium
height, with a bland presence and a genial group of
regimes, surrounded with an effective cowl of hair,
in which the gray ss fast 'gaining the tuisendant,
but millets forms a very pleasant contrast to the
fresh hues embalming and preserving the oheeks.
Ilicrityle of /Viking Is like the combination of
his head and lace. We have a fresh rhetorical
complexion ce phraseology with the gray, but
graceful rigidity of legal lore, the one oontrasting
with and helping to illustrate or make forcible
theethee. His remarks extended into this morn
ing, sad were listened to with Marked' attention.
Ile oeMbatted. the Men propounded by the prose
in:Wen that the adulterer must be seen in his infa
my to give provocation. He argued that the oar
and the touch were equally powerful agents of the
pied as the eye, and adduced some very strong
meet in Illuftration. (See verbatim report.)
This bee been Mr. Phillips' chief performance
during the trial, and it created a highly favorable
opinion. The learned gentleman has been a Re
presentative in Congress from Alabama, practised
law in Mobile, moved to this city some few years
since, and made his first prominent appearance
with Charles °Toner, of New York, in the cele
brated case of the brig General Armstrong, in the
Court of Claims.
Mr. Graham addressed the court at considerable
length, with his usual ability, in support of the
admissibility of the testimony. If the court did
not admit it. ho thought the proceedings in this
matter should have closed with the coroner's in
quest. He thought that something more than the
killing of Key was necessary to be shown The
state of Sickles' mind at the commission of the
deed, and what superinduced it, was just as neces
sary. .lie rebuked the ground of the prosecution,
that the law only begun when the husband caught
the wife in the act of adultery.
Nadia Attorney Ould replied far the proseou.
Don, and quoted many authorities against the tes

bolding that killing for revenge was murder. Mr.
Odd created a very decided effect by quoting that
passage from John, ohapter 8, whore the woman
was caught in adultery, and the Saviour, being
appealed to, slid the memorable words "lie who
is witheut sin, let him first cast a stone at her."
During a large portion of Mr. Ould's epoech, Mr.
Stanton took a refreshing nap, and only woke up
when some allusion to the North Carolina reports

The organ, imitating the piratloal practice. of
',hanging its colors when in dangor of capture, ap
pears this morning under the signal of the Consti•

the master's livery with a dutiful complaisance.
May we suspeot him, however, of a bly sarcasm
In characterizing tho President's organ as the Con

Does the organ think to deceive the public by
so stale and transparent an artifice? There is not
a detective in Washington from whom the Bilge.
dier might not have learnt the futility of the ex.
pedient. An alias it tho familiar resort of fugi
tive malefaotors • and bow can the Union escape
the popular Indignation by the obvious trick of
appropriating a respectable title? The organ is
amenable to a penal prosecution ; for if not within
the latter it is certainly obnoxious to the spirit of
the statute against a clandestine change in the
name of steamboats, whereby, with a little paint
and a new cognomen, some rickety craft is Imposed
upon the public as A No. 1, to the imminent haz
ard of the credulous voyager's life and limb. In
this manner the George Law, a decrepit hulk,

Letter from the French Emperor
, A oorrespondent of the National Intelligences
oaths attontion to the following letter, written by

President Van Buren. The letter is found in Niles'
Register, vol. 52, p. 290 :
linw Yuan, Juno 6, 1837
Mit. PRESIDENT : I am unwilling to leave the
United States without expressing to your Excel
lency the regret that I feel in departing with
out having gone to Washington to make your
acquaintance. Though an ill-fated destiny
brought me to America, I had counted upon reap
ing, great benefit in my new place of exile
from tho moiety of her distinguished men. I
wished to study the manners and institutions of a
1 people who have aohieved more lasting triumphs
by their commerce and their enterprise than we
lu Europe have gained by our arms I had hoped,
under tho guardianship of your free laws, to have
travelled over a country which excites all my
sympathy from the faot that its history and pros.
parity are Intimately blended with the remem
brance of that which is a glory to Frenchmen.
But imperative duty recalls me to the Old World.
My mother being dangerously ill, and no politi.
cal considerations detaining me hero, I go to Eng
land, and shall from thence endeavor to return to
Switzerland.
It is with pleasure, sir, that I enter upon these
details with your Excellency, since you may have
given credence to the calumnious surmises respect
ing me which have appeared in some of the public
journals. Holding you, sir, as I do, in high esti
mation, as the ruler of a free people, I am happy
that you should know that, with the name I bear,
it is not possible for me to depart for an instant
from the path painted out to me by my conscience,
my honor, and my duty.
I pray your Excellency to receive this letter - as
a proof of my respect for him who occupies the
chair of Washington, and accept the expression of
my regard and distinguished consideration.

of a wide•epread and very lamelye practice which pre

minor streets adjoining Chestnut, Arch, Race, Vine.
and other aristocratic thoroughfares, the residents of
thews dwellings leave their asties, cinders, and kitelien
offal to fester in the burning sun, exhaling unpleasant
and sickening vapors, and tinning the pure air of Hea

The Money Market.
„PHIL/innmein., April 18, 1859.
The market for the lower priced railroad bonds con
tinues very active, and they maintain the advances
gained during the earlier part of the week, with, in
some C. 5.0.1, a Alit further rise. Outside capital to at •
traded to these matinee in preference to thine whose
intrinsic value is better ascertained and generally
known; the high:price of all the more favored bonds
and leans forbidding any senguine topes of gain from
further advances. A lively"movement Is gong forward
in the stock of the long Island Raliroad Company,
which has Titian to $1212 per share. , In view of this
fact we quote the renewing summary of the report
made on the 12th histiant
” Tee receipts were $334,088, "against 6325 3'B the
previous year- The difference in favor of the last year
was made up wholly from so increased freight buelnese,
The expenses of the year $255,427, against 1161.127 the
previous year, showing a net surptcui, after pay,n r
expenses. rent, interest, and equipment., of $ll3 610,
against $56,185 the previous year. The lag year's sur
plus is greater than that of any previous year The
report speaks mod encouregingly of the freight busi
ness, which is made up in a large.degree from the
transportation of milk; carried at half a cent per
quart. The whole receipts last - year, from bnsiness
connected with the dairy, 11818,353. There la also. a
steadily increasing freightage from tregetsbles and
fruits. The directors have entered into A contract for
chancing the terminus of the road at South germ
Brooklyn, to Hunter's Point, which will be effected in
the year 1859. The funded debt of the company is
3500,000. The other additional liabilities of the com
pany amount to $144,566 The capital stack is 60 COO
shares, equal at par to three millions of dollar'. The
reported gash balance, on the let inatt was $57,410."
It is calculated that one million lams of anthracite
Ooal from the Pennsylvania mines have already been
carried to market by the various transporters this
year—en ineresse of not leas than 960 000 tone in com
parison with the came trade to this time in 1858_
The State Department, at Washingttn, Josuee the
following notice :
" Information has been received at this Department
from Charles 2. Helm, Bret , the United States Consul-
General at Havana, that o the Oaptain , General of Cube
has just published a decree by which The duly on boa
cattle, poultry. and eggs has been reduced to iii par
cent, when Introduced In Spanish bottoms, and to eight
per cent. when brought in foreign vessels froth:foreign
ports, and that the decree is to continue in forge six
months, unless disapproved by the home Govern
ment., tt
Beery day seems to bring along its new counterfeit or
altered bank bill. ,The last which has come to light
purports to be a ten-dollar note on the Iforthireetern
Bank of Wheeling, Va. 'Vignette, X, figure 10, and
word " ten ;tr left, man' with a 'aped., ,AODIAD, two
children, and lambs; right, medallion pf man. In the
gamine the right is a woman with a sickle. -
It will be found to be ;he path of safety as well as
duty to obey the rod law of our State prohibiting the
circulation of mall notes of foreign broke, and only
to take bins of larger denominations when well assured
of their genuine character, or well acquainted with
thefts who offer them as currency. No ordinary care or
' prudence is eufficient to guard against the skill and In
genuity of the parties engaged in the business of coun
terfeiting.
