The Cincinnati Pioneer Association Celebration of the Seventy—first Anniversary the First Settlement of Ohio, at Smith & Nixon's Hall. ,, attempts to reach you ' " , r.f , jinn i.ity The seventy-first anniversary of the settle ment of Ohio, the 11th April, was appropri- utely celebrated last evening by the Cincinnati Pioneer Association, at Smith & Nixon's Hall The Committee of Arrangements are entitled to great credit for the admirable manner in which they had prepared every thing essential to the comfort and convenience of the "old folks" and the younger portion who were pros ent. Early in the evening the gatlories were thronged with the old veterans and pioneers Interspersed with a goodly assemblage of "Young America." In the main body of the hall were arranged the tables, five in number, for the banquet. Henry Alms, of the Verandah, was the caterer on the occasion, and he fully carried out his reputation by furnishing a supper that gave universal satisfaction. About nine o'clock tho company, numbering over three hundred and fifty ladies and gentle men, sat down to the repast. Tbe venerable President of the Association, Col. John John son, presided, assisted by the Vice President, Thos. H. Yeatman, Esq. Upon the stage of the hall, the Newport-Barracks Band, con sisting of twenty-three members, discoursed most elegant musio during the evening. After the supper, Col. Owen T. Reeveg,of Chillioothe, was called upon, and after a few brief re marks, submitted a number of valuable old documents, some of which were read by tho Secretary of the Society, John I). Caldwell, Esq. Among these interesting relics of oldon times was an original parohment patent, being tho first grant of lands issued by General Govern ment north-west of the Ohio River. It wan' dated February 20th, 1795, and signed by Geo. Washington, Presidont, and Timothy Pioker-i ing, Seoretary of State. He also produced an original letter from Col, Aaron Burr, addressod to Col. Mead, of which the following is a copy: Mr Deab Sib Some fatality seems to attend At to moment I was setting out to dine with you, Col. Lynch, with whom I have business, arrived and de tained me. I will indomnify myself before leaving the neighborhood. Accept the assurances of the great respect and consideration with which I have tho honor Your obedient, A. BURR. LEXINGTON, November 3. The following amusing bill, being an account owing to the great Daniel Boone, was read from the original manusoript by Mr. Caldwell. The hill is. in the old English currenoy: "JULY THE 16TH, 1787. of As aim and very Cin cinnati, Co.'s Glass sts., 0 Main Ball roud. Stock Nathaniel Mksbby fc Rout.

Interesting and entertaing speeohes w made by Gen. Robertson, Rev. S. J. Brown, Hon. Bellamy Storer, Win. J. Flagg, Mayor R. M. Bishop, Jesse Bovis, Esq., A. N. Riddle, W. P. Stratton, Esq., Judge Carter, and others, and we reg,et we have the space to give a synopsis of them. Mr. Flagg, in his remarks, happily alluded to our Calorio engine, which he termed pioneer in the West, eventually destined tupersede steam. Judge Carter presented to the Association several ball invitations extended to his mother, as far back as 1806 and 1807. The evening was spent in an agreeable sooial manner. The old pioneers, their and the widows of pioneers were grouped the hall, heartily engaged in relating reminis. cences of the past, and relating many incidents of the early settlements of the North-west, nnd Cincinnati particularly. It was a glorious gathoring of those who suffered and endured so muoh in early times, and may they all many years to meet for the same object, and the same oongenial and sooial spirit. the 10 lliq Re dowas, calls under receipt ol Official Majorities Tho official majori ties of the late election areas follows: Mayor Bishop, 1,828; Judge of the Superior Court Hondley, 1,853; Judge of .the Police Court- Lowe, 1,573; Treasurer Townsend, 648; ditor Wassenloh, 1,405; Solioitor 2,126; Civil Engineer Gilbert, 2,119; outing Attorney Johnson, 1,601; Police Royse, 2,333; Commissioner Uorton, Trustee of Water-works Stone, 1,787; Dlreotor Infirmary Llndeman, 1,940; Wharfmaster Bak'ir, 2,093; Market-master Coffin, 2,339. la? oonsequence of the rehearsal for Mayer beer's ehef d'otuvre, Robert L Diable, will be no opera to-night. AMUSEMENTS. Wood's Thea. Tho Inimitable G. S. Bucr.Icy takes a benofit nt this establishment this evening. A lengthy program mo, and "Luoroaia Borgia" in burlesque opera, is offered. National Tiikatkr. A most attractive bill is offered this evening, for the benefit of Mrs. Sinolair. An entirely new play, entitled Court nd SUtije, together with A Mnrniiuj Cull and the laughable farce of Love in Humble Life, make up a longthy programme. Tiik Italian Opera. Pike's Opera House, the most magnificent Temple of Music In the nion, was again crowded last evening with a brilliant audience the evening having been set apart .for the benefit of M'me Wilhorst, whose representations In the Daughter of Iht JteifimciU and L'Klinir V Amort, or the Elhir of love, was exceedingly piquant and power ful, as was evldenoed by the prolonged and rapturous appluuse that greeted her every ap pcarnnce on the stage The troupe, as a whole, played and sang with spirit. M'me W. never did hotter than in hor favorite role of "Maria." Her rat-tat-too on the drum "bo-ought down the houso." The "Tonio" of Squires was very commendable, while Atnodio, "Sergeant Sulplisol," was more than ordi nary. Indeed, this artiste is always good In evdry role he undertakes. The Ballet Diver- tin ment passed off very agreeable with M'lle Frank as the "Queon of Terpsichore." There will be no opera this evening, in con sequence of the necessary day and night re haarsal for the production of that greatest of modern operas, and masterwork of tho cole- birated Mayorbeer, Ilobert le Diabtc. This o pera is one of the most difficult, and yot the S'lblimost, within the operatic reportoire. It is perfect in its unity and sublimity, and we dare venture the assertion that, from the cast pre sented, it will be difficult for our cynical musi cal artistes not to be pleased beyond measure vt ith the musio, situations, etc., and execution of this great and superior opera. M'me Wil li orst as "Isabella," M'lle Colson as "Alice," M'lle Frank as "Elena," Slgnor Brignoll as "Robert," Junca as "Bertram," and Scola as uRaymbaund." We predict for the attendance on this opera the largest house of the season; ' Mary MoNhlty was arrested by Officer John 1. Jones, of the Thirteenth Ward, last evening, for walking the streets in male apparel, and Hocked up in the Hammond-street Station !house. Mary will bo brought before Judge IPruden this morning, to answer the charge and foloniously appropriating tho aforesrid coat pants to her own use. All who are not members of the Pioneer Association, and who camo to Ohio previous to July 4, 1812, who were at the Banquet, are requested to remit their autograph signatures by letter to J. D. Caldwell, committee deputed to gather statistics for the association. The Glorious Thirteen. Last night, among the multitude of visitors to see tho "Great Ericsson" our Calorie engine there were in dividuals from thirteen different States in Union. The Queon City Insurance Company, whose card we advertise this morning, is a home com pany, composed of some of our oldest and citizens, and we can safely rooommend the pub lic to insure in it. Fire An alarm of fire was occasioned about one o'clock this morning by the burning of shed attached to the white-load factory of Har rison, nill Sc Co., on West Eighth etroot, low Harriet. The fire was extinguished with out much damage. The residence of a baker on Wade street, few doors west of Baymiller, was entered evening by some burglarious individual, carried off the baker's pants, containing $16.

As soon as tho dour were opened the court-room was filled with a thionfr, press ing; and crnstiing to obtain n glimpse of the prisoner, who sits in tho barbarous-looking arrangement to which he Is consigned by the usage of the Court, though he sits throughout the proceedings apparently calm and unmoved; yot, when he gets back to his prison apartment, he shows signs of oxhaustion, and when alone, which Is not often, he is said to be a prey to sorrowful reflections not thnt he regrets tho act for which he is now on trial, (no compunc tious thonght of that visits his mind;) but when ho thinks upon his blighted home, and the ruin that has been wrought by the villainy of a false friend, his habitual self-possession gives way, and nature asserts her supremacy. The Washington papers have published a statement that Mrs. Sickles is now in the city. There is no truth whatever in the statotnont. Tho lady's father oontradicts it in tho most positive manner, and says that since she left her home here she has been residing under his roof in New York, under the protection of her mother, and hopes that hor name will not be wantonly or unnecessarily dragged before the publio. He and Mr. Sickles' father remain to gether in Court all the timo. Mr. Graham complains that lettors passing between himsolf and Mr. Sickles, have , been tampered with in the post-office, some opened in transitu, and others not reached their desti nation. The Court opened at fifteen minutes after ten o'clook this morning. After some delay the jury was called and all answered to their names. Judge After the jurors were dismissed yes terday, one of them oame up to tbe bench and asked if he oould say a word to me. I told him not about this case. However, he wont on to say: I answered the questions put to me, but since I have been sworn into the jury-box I have been reflecting upen this thing, and I am not quite satisfied with myself. On which I said, I oan not believo you, and he immediately turned around and wenton. 1 think it right to mention this publioly, in case counsel may think it proper to move about it. So little impression did tho man's appearance make on me that I can not recognize him now, but he is one of the eleven. Mr. Moore, the juror, standing up, said I was impressed with the responsibility that restod on me, and felt a kind of shrinking from the duty. Judgo I hope you were. Juror It made me feel unpleasant, but this morning 1 ean say to the Court that 1 teel per fectly satisfied in my own mind. J udge Very well, I am glad to hear it. It was the duty of the Court to state this. Juror I am very glad I have this privilege of making this explanation. Alphonso S. Wright, the twelfth juror, was then sworn, and took his seat in the jury box, when the twelve juroos were called and an swered. Clerk, to the prisoner Stand up. Mr. Sickles stood up in tho box. Clerk Daniel E. Sickles, look on tho jury while the indictment is being read. The indictment was then read. Clork Upon this indictment the prisoner has been arraigned, and upon this indiotment has plead not guilty, and has put himself on his country. That country you represent, and this indictment you are to try. Distriot Attorney Ould opened the case for the prosecution, by making an eloquent and effoctive statement of the oiroumstances of the murder, amid the breathless attention of the judge, jurors and audience. The Judge said that it was unusual here to have openings on both sides made before any of the evidence was presented, but pre sumed that the counsel for the defense would prefer to reserve their opening till the case for the prosecution closed. Mr. Brady replied that the counsel preferred the latter course. The Judge said that, while the former was the usage of the Court, the wishes of the coun sel were always consulted by him. The witnesses for the United States were then called into Court. The following persons answored and were severally sworn, such boing the practice here. Dr. R. H. Cooledgo, R. R. Stone, Richard N. Downer, F.Doylo.T. E. Martin, P. V.R. Van Wycke, Jas. Dubrow, Abel Upshur, Edward E. M. Tidsall, Cyrus McCormick, John M. Seely, Jonah D. Hoover, Robert J. Dillon, Thomas Woodward, Reuben Worthingtou, Henry Hepburn and Edward Dolanold. Some delay occurred which tho Distriot Attorney explained by saying that he was waiting for a witness whom he wished to examino first, and who was now In Court. He had sent him. This witness was Jainos 11. Roed, a police man. He soon afterward came into Court, was sworn, and took tbe stand. Q. Were you present at the time of the death of Mr. Key? A. I was near by. Q. Be good enough to state all tho circum stances oonnocted with the killing that you saw. Witness I was passing on the Sabbath tbe 27th ot February up the street Known part of Pennsylvania avenue, running by President's house, and I got up nearly opposite the street known as Madison Place. I was walking along leisurely, going westward, when I heard a loud talking, as I imagined. eyo fell on two gentlemen on the corner of pavement: one was standing rather westward, the other eastward. They seemed to be from four to six feet apart. I saw the arm of one who was westward begin to raise. Di reotly I saw there was something in it, ap parently a pistol. He raised the pistol grad ually, and in the course of five or tea seoonds saw him take deliberate aim. Saw bim aim ing at the man eastward of him. The aim deliberate. The man eastward was making effort to get away from the direction of the pis tol. In two or three seconds the pistol fired. The man who fired the pistol moved little westward slowly, and tho other advanced toward him. The ono eastward followed rapidly, but did not gain upon him till they reached the place where the first firing took place. Q. Do I understand you to say that went to the middlo of Madison Place ? Witness Thoy went westward, aud a little on the southwest line. When they reached within about eighteon or twenty foot from where the first fire took place, the man was shot at retreated, and wont somewhat northwardly and eastwardly, up Madison Place. The other followed him up, though ot so closely, perhaps. The gentleman was shot at ran up and got behind a tree, commenced shouting "Murder don't shoot me. The man who bad the pistol came up about five feet of him, and there be attempted to snoot, but his pistol snapped, lie then back a little, the man who was shot following him up, and thoy went into middle of Madison Place. That was after first snapping and the sooond attempt to shoot. When thoy reaohed the middle of the they were about ten feet apart. Here a socond firing took place. Just before that I saw man who was shot attempt to throw something which apparently struck the other. The throw ing and a sooond firing of tho pistol were As soon as the pistol was fired man got himself up this way, (describing with both hands pressed against bis stomach,) and said something like, "Kill me." He ran over to the pavement. Can not say whether he touohed the fence or not. The man fired the pistol oame up In front of the man was down. He turned up a little on his elbow, and I heard him exclaim once or "Don't shoot me. Don't shoot me I " other words he said I do not know, he was fired three times. Tbe man who the pistol was about two and a half feet the body whon the third shot was fired. Philip Van Wyoke was the next sworn. He testified as follows: "I was walking on the avenue, east of Madi son Place: I saw two persons as I advanced, apparently in conversation; I ta one of raiso his arm, and, as he did so, the other re trontcd toward the north; I then heard the report of a pistol, and ran toward them; heard another fire, and, by this time, the parties had got around the corner; I followed them and, by the time I got near, saw Key lying on the pavement lifolcss, and as he lay thore, Sickles snapped the pistol at his head twice." To Mr. Ould I could partly see the man who was fired at, and distinot'y saw the man who fired; I recognlted the mnn who had the pistol; I saw Butterworth, Martin and Upshur at the time of the affair. Upshur was near the body of Mr. Key. Butterworth was on the corner, and appeared as if he had just come down the Place. After tho last shot be approached and rested on the railing. Martin and Upshur wore leaning over the body, picking it up. Mr. Ould Did you see any act of firing but the first? Mr. Brady I object to all excopt tho simple narrative ot tne witness. The Court The witness will give his narra tive of the case, but the oounsel may ask him anv Droner nuestion. To Mr. Ould Two minutes probably elapsed before I got up to the parties. I heard three reports of a pistol. They were not in rapid succession, but at nearly equal intervals. Thore was about two minutes botween the first shot and tho last snap of the pistol. I saw a single-barreled pistol IviDgon the pavement Edward Delatield sworn I was present, and saw the affair. Saw Mr. Sickles coming down Madison Place, on the east sido of the street. He addressed a person at tbe corner, and thon heard the roport of a pistol and cries of "Don't shoot, don't shoot don't murder me." At the second shot Mr. Key grabbed hold of Mr. (Sickles, but be threw him off and fired at him again. Key then fell on his side. Siokles then snapped the pistol at his breast. He then appeared to take a cap off the pistol Some one caught hold of Sickles' hand, but he ordered him away, and snapped the pistol again. He then walked arm-in-arm with some one toward the north. I knew Sickles, having often seen him in Congress. I heard three shots fired. I recognised Sickles whon be oame down Madison Place, but did not reoogniie the mnn that was shot. To Mr. Ould I did not hear the parties say any thing after the first shot was fired. Sickles followed the man as far as the second tree, into the middle of the street, and I saw Key try to get away. To Mr. Brady I did not know Key and did not notice his dress. Mr. Brady read the testimony before the Coroner, and said that there was n discrepancy between it tfnd his present testimony. To Mr. Brady There were three snots Bred and two snaps of the pistol. I suppose it was a revolver from his manner of cocking it. I am oertain that Sickles came down on the east side of the street. Saw several persons after the first shot was fired, bnt none before. Did not see Mr. Butterworth. Joseph Dudrow sworn On Sunday the 27th of February, I was going west along Pennsyl vania avenue, when I heard a report of a pistol, and looking around, I saw Key jump aside. Sickles raised his arm to fire again, when Key grabbed it to prevent bim. Sickles threw him off and fired a second shot, and soon after third. I afterward saw him snap the pistol at bis head. Some one oame up then and seised Sickles by the hand, but he jerked it away and exclaimed to him, " He has dishonored my bed." Richard M. Downer sworn I was walking on Lafayette Square, below the soene of the affray, when I heard two reports of a pistol, and hurriod toward Maynard's corner. I heard a third report just as I got there. As I was going round the corner, heard the pistol snap. That was near enough for me, and I went back. (Laughter.) Mr. Ould It was well you did so. Witness resumed I went around as soon the shooting stopped. (Great laughter.) then saw Key lying dead on the pavement. saw no shots fired. A number of other witnesses wen examined to nrove tho act of killing1. One, Thomas E. Martin, who was prosent and carried the body of Key to tbe Club House, testified to in the regular examination that when ho lifted Key up, Sickles exclaimed, The District Attorney interrupted the ness, saying that that was not requirod. The Judge ruled an answer admissible, three o'clock the Court adiournod. An officer was sworn to take charge of jury, and accommodations were provided thorn at the National Hotel. The District Attorney says that he will the case for tho prosecution before noon morrow. One Day Later from Europe.
