REVIEW OF THE SICKLES' CASE.
On the afternoon of Sabbath, the 27th of
February, Washington City was thrown
into the wildest excitement by the recur
rence of an event which will fill many a
heart with sadness for untold years. We
refer to the killing of Philip Barton Key
by Daniel E. Sickles. The social and po
litical positions of the parties, the high re
spectability of their connections, and num
berless other circumstances, combined to
invest this tragedy with an interest and so
lemnity which rarely, if ever, attaches to
any human event. Sickles is the represen
tative in Congress of the 3d district of New
York city—one of the wealthiest and most
intelligent of the nation ; while Key was
the District Attorney of the District of Co
lumbia. Both gentlemen were the inti.
mate personal and political friends of the
President, the latter holding his office by
the President. Mrs. Sickles, tne woman
that has so unfortanately : and yet so shame
fully figured in this tragic scene, is of Ital:
ian origin, her father, Bagioli, being an
Italian music teacher•in New York. She
is but twenty-two years of age, and is rep
resented as charmingly attractive, ading to
the soft, winning beauty of her person, the
accomplishments of the most fushionnble
education. It cannot be thought strange
that a person so young as she, possessing
the ardent temperament and passion, ever
incidental to the daughters of ' , sweet sun-
ny Italy," and plunged into the whirlpool
of Washington society, where "easy vir.
tue" rules and revels, should on quickly
rush to ruin and disgrace.
It appears that the intimacy of Key and
Mrs. Sickles commenced in the spring of •
'6B. Key wishing to be rc-appointed Dis
trict Attorney, and knowing Sickles ha d
great influence with the President. having
been his private secretary while Minister
to England, by acts of attention and kind
ness, gained his friendship, support, and
even confidence; and by degrees, was ad
mitted into Sickles' homy—first, as a visi.
tor, next as a friend, and then, as an inti
mate companion. Skilled in all the wiles
of the seducer, he grossly and infamonsly
violated and abused the hospitality of his
friend, and, in his absence, invaded the
sanctity of the marriage bed, robbed his
wife of her virtue, and made her the vic
tim of as black, damning ingratitude as the
annals of crime afford. His intimacy with
Mrs. Sickles was continued through '5B,
growing more criminal and guilty as op• ',
portunities would permit. Emboldened by
his success and the facility with which lie
had thus far in his wickedness, escaped its
tection, he rented a house for to other pur
pose than to carry on this illicit intercourse.
What a spectacle ! The wife and mother
blasting forever the happiness and affection
which were the presiding deities cf her
own home, passionately follows the steps
of her seducer to the bed of adultery I Oh!'
could she i n that moment of passion's
feast have realized the deep, burning infa
my which was rapidly overtaking her, how
gladly would she have retraced her course,
and mourned with an everlasting sorrow,
the awful wickedness of her life. So fre
quent were their visits to this house, that
the suspicions of the residents of that part
of the city, were excited, and by close no•
lice, they discovered that the woman was
Mrs. Sickles.
Upon ascertaining this, an anonymous
letter was written to Mr. Sickles informing
him of the infidelity of his wife, and poin
ting out to him, with alarming particularity
the means by which he could convince
himself. Flu engaged a friend to test the
truth of these awful suspicions, when alas!
they proved but too well founded. Here
was a moment terrible in the history of that
household. Whore before, all had been
domestic bliss, all now became heart-rend
ing agony. He immediately accused his
wife of betraying his confidence and dis
honoring his home, and blighting his hopes
and his ambition. After a moment's pro.
teatation of innocence, she confessed her
guilt and begged for forgiveness. At that
moment, earth to Sickles must have seem
ed the awfulest hell, and the glorious uni
verse of God. one unredeemed chaotic
Mtn,
Scarce had the gush of frenzy, excited
by the discovery of his wife's seduction
and his own dishonor, subsided, till the au
thor of all his shame and ntis-ry passed
his house, waving his handkerchief as a
signal to Mrs. Sickles to leave the protec•
lion which her own home afforded, and in
the sweet sunlight of that Sabbath after
noon, to follow him once again to their den
of infamy. The addition of the deepest
insult to the deepest injury, was too much
for the outraged husband to endure, and
7ildly seizing his pistole, he rushed to the
street, and meeting•his wife's seducer, he
cried, "Villain, you have dishonored my '
bed ! Prepare to die !" and with three
successive balls, shot him down as he wood
have shot a dog. His fate was no less
sudden than it deserved,
Mr. Sickles surrendered himself to the
authorities mid was lodged in jail, where
he remained over a month before his trial
commenced. On Monday, 4th of April,
he was taken into Court and arraigned for
murder. Mr. Ould, Key's successor no
District Attorney, and Mr. Carlisle, appear
ed as counsel for the prosecution. Mr.
Sickles was defended by aomo of the best '
criminal lawyers of the country. His coun
sel were Messrs. Brady and Graham, of
New York, his intimate and devoted
friends. Stanton, Ratcliffe, Phillips, Chil
ton, Magruder and Meagher, all now of

Crawford conducted the trial with great
fairness and impartiality. He has won for
himself an enviable distinction, not only for
profound legal knowledge, but also for high
purity of character. On Tuesday, the
26th ult., at 10 minutes before 2 o'clock,
the jury retired for oonaultation. The most
' solemn Interest pervaded the numberless
throng that filled the Court room. The
prisoner's friends gathered around hint
with words of hope and expressions of the
deepest sympathy. Amid the awful sus
pense of that hour, he appeared as caters us

It was a moment big with human fate.—
"Have you agreed upon a verdict, gentle
men 1" inquired the clerk. "We have,"
wee solemnly responded. "Daniel E. ,
Sickles, stand up !" "How say you, gen
tlemen of the Jury, do you find the priso
ner at the bar us indicted, guilty or not
guilty I" "Nor Guitar." The univer
sal joy of the entire crowd attested the
course of popular sympathy. Judge and
Marshal were unable to preserve order.—
The friends of the prisoner rushed around
him—hundreds of persons sought to grasp
liitn by the hand and congratulate him up•
on his deliverance. lie thanked the Jury
for his acquittal and was literally carried
out of the Court room and placed in a car
tinge in waiting. The joy of some of those
present seas so boundless that they wanted
to take the horses frem the carriage and
dram it themselves, which. hdvever, at the
earnest relbest of Mr. Sickles, was not
done. He, with hia coulmi, teas driven
to the house of his friend, Mr. McHlair,
where he continued to receive the tender
est expressions of sympathy, from hosts of
friends.
Thus ended this sad melo drama. Did
time and space permit, we would here in
dulge in wine thoughts which necessarily
connect themselves with this tragic event.

of Mr. Sickles in this affair be the means

died in vain. Mr. Sickles has already in.

Herald, in his latest letter, says there were
reasons for believing that the proposal
made by Austria ns to the various points
to be submitted to the Congress, are ,vhol

The Park Petrie, in reference to the
proposed general disarmament, persist in
repeating that this meaner cannot apply
to France. France cannot be ex i ,...cted
to diminish her army by o single noun, nor
to send bock a single cannon to her arse
