ft will be remembered that during tne pendency of p

known to Ibn counsel lor the prosecm.on and the judge,
what condition uf past bab ts and associatious cuulu have
been provtd on beliaif of the people against the prisoner,
as tending to illustrate the cttcct which a disclosure of his
wife's infidelity would have been likely to produce on
Hich a mind.
ibe suppression of this important evidence, we believe,
In view ol tne wide publicity given to the trial boin in
this country and Europe, was lor the advantage of our
national character and In the best interests of morality.
The slayer was taken up by the press of England as a
model, though a somewhat truculent one, of delicate marital
srnsinttuy; he became a sort of representative husband
for the I'nlon, and as such owod a duly not only to himself
but to ibe circle of devotod friends who at onoe
pla ed themselves in the attitude of both endorsing and
lauding bin action. Clergymeu prayed for him and gave
bim Bibles; Jurymen look him as their model husband, ?
and being husbands theoaselves declined to serve on the *
ground ot prejudice in mo prisoner b tavur; bruquot* and i "
baskets of fruit wore throwo into bis coll, j use *e they are ; P
thrown at the foot of some enticing op. r* dancer on the ! 8
stage: and one or two bearded men even went so far as to i u
kiss fcim in open court when the verdict or acquittal had i "
been pronounced. 11
But now this representative husband has irifcc us ano- ! *
Ibcrhrron in domestic morals, and bos I oicby tiirown n

into the bh.thing oar cf ..n o w>^en;uiao judge. Having
given seducers the lesson of how blind a husband can be
under certain circumstances, and how tesrib y he can
avenge his wrong under others, this model husband now *
proclaims to all wiveu that no matter how abandoned they *
may he In habits, morais, tastes, and practiced; no matter Jj
how publicly and shameiesaiy they court the scorn of d
black mt ina.s and the pimp population of a degraded
n.igbborbood, no matter how they au-cp themselves in b
the infamous hypocrisy and disgrace of receiving a para- r

MR. AND lliis. DANIEI. SICKLES AT HOME.
The theory was started during the Sickles' trial that '
there existet upon the part of Sickles and his wile a mo- J
tivc lor ti e deathcr Philip Qaitou Key. That thiu motive J
wig Bo -'.rntg that the wife contented to abide the odium *
tf a conli rsion of guilty intimacy Witn uim,and the has c
lanu the nsk ofa trial for nis murder And Una theory, 1
,t Is insisted upon by thcae who prmulgated it, is strength '
ened by Ihe reunion of the couple. '
Horrible as tbo suppes Men Is, It flnds many believers. !
The tnr'.bto act of vengeance that deprived Key of his 1
lite, placed Pickles la a most trying position, requiring J
great n* rve and determination on hm yart to overcome 1
the Miter'eis of feeling engendered by it in tho munis of "
a Inrpc and It lluentlal port on rf theonmrauulty. Sickles, !
throughout bis trial, and subsequent to It, had many '
iowtiiui Iruuds, who sustained niou manfu'ly and oju '
?apt ously, and he was deeply indebted to them tor their
ecunu nance and support. 1
Kejcci'rg Ihe theory that the Washington tragedy was 1
tbo result ofa plot between Sickles and his wife as rosurd, '
how can the resumed marital relations bo viewed? '
Wo have becD told that uegovations were In progress
for n legal separation between the I'lrnoa, wUich were J
broken oif owing to tbo extravagance of tho domand J
made by Mrs. Sickles for bor maiutmuauoo; Urn a 1
llUunry lady interested herself In arrangiog the -muter I
' SHtis aetorily, and tuat tne ooly method left io settio tho
dilllrultj wirn ro forget the past and reunite their fortune*.
In this arrungemtnl Mrs. Sickles w.is largely the gainer. 1
Sickioe w?a surrounded by friends, u.ion whoso good
opinion be was dependent. They must bo, ant have

All doubts have hren removed by the article In the New
fork Timer of last evening, as to the reconciliation of Mr.
inn Mrs. Sickles. You witl excuse me 1 am sure, if in Comnou
with otbeia I venture to express my own opinion in
egara to this occuncnce, and 1 ask ike pttllisgs of doing
:o, inasmuch as your readers will remember .uat I bavc
imittcd no opportunity to do justice to Mr. sickles himself
n his recent great trouble. He bad a perfect right to take
lis wife back to ? borom It was his own act, and I am
old be justlfleo It by the declaration that be ought not to
>e called to account for It. But those woo stood by him
lave a'so a right to rclu ve themscivi-s irom we respousiJiliiy
of bis actioo. In this community -ne Lamented Key
isd many worm sr.d devoted friends. Knowing him. as
Hd, intimately and weil, it was to me a source or deep re,ret
that his life should bave been sacrificed. An acoomilifthA'H
fffmJwriiin a tirrt liwccr a atviwl ttnrl atri.
ere friend, it was an extraordinary evidence of the popu?r
feeing In favor of Mr. Sickles, that in tne very city
rhere Mr. Key bad resided all the active years of his
ife, ana where bis supporters were most cntluwistic,
the blow that struck him to the earth should havo
*en forgiven hy a jury and applauded by the people,
lence, in everything that bus appeared iu my correspondnce
(and I am happy to say 111 everything that has ap
eared In TV Prest), pains were taken to avoid the
lightest remark tbut could be regarded as a reflection
pen Philip Burton Key. It did not become mo during
ae trial to discuss the point-whether or not Mrs. Sickles
lduoed and accepted Mr. Key's attentions?whether she
as more bis victim than be was hers?and however
inch a different feeling may be Inspired by the reooac.lilion
between herself and her husband on the pan of
Ibers, at the present time I am not disposed to discuss
lis ooualdt ration under the new aspect or the question,
be motive which controlled much ot the feeling in favor
ir. Sickles, grew out of tea fact Mr. Key hud accepted
le hospitalities of Mr Siokles, and that while enjoying
icse hospitalities, together with the contldence of
Ir. Sickles, had beWayod bis honor, and this
-an regarded by all gentlemen as a crime
ever to be expiated or forgiven. But It is impossible to
eny that tbc case baa assumed new importance Oil Mount
of this reconciliation. It was made a public matter
y the political position of the parties and their local oonections,
and vou may be well assured that It will oon
nue to bo maoe a public matter, especially in this comlunity.
All the feeling for poor Key has Dnen revived,
il the grief suppressed by the verdict in favor of Mr.
ickles bus been called forth anew by the forgiveness ex
?nded by Mr. rick ice to his wife, and Heaven knows
ihere it will end If Mrs. Sickk-8 was herself guilty be
ire tbo death of Koy she is guilty still, and if sne can bo
irgiven uow Key ought to have been forgiven in Februay.
It will be a long time before another such acquittal
rill uke place as that awarded by the late jury in this
ase. It will be a long time before an American court and
.merlcan citizens will again allow themselves to be contolled
by a one sided statement to applaud the blow that
ends a fellow creature into eternity with all his sins upon
is beat). Believe mo that I am not complaining that
Ir. Slcklea should havo taken his wife back to hi;
oscm. In the spirit of Christian charity this
.as probably well enough, and, however much
be taste of the thing may be questioned, I can only roret,
or tbc sake of Mr Kc-y, that be had not mootns ago
greed to forgive bis wife, and to spare a human life,
mich under the circumstances, as now developed,
ugbt to have been spared. Those who stood by Mr.
Ickles tn Washington (and they number some of our
rat. ntlzcnf) wore In no smglo instance the enemies of
Ir Key, and never allowed themselves to indulge iu aaaults
upon the character of the deceased. They havo
into placed in a most peculiar position by the recooctlla
icn, and fee) extremely sensitive in regard to it, and I
hink I express pretty nearly their feelings in tho renhtVa
T hnro marlp Of r/tiir-.* ?hnr opn nnnnfffntlv rt%.
nindcd by those who took the other side of the c 'ntro
erfy that they did wrong in t iking their stand; and in a
ouic'unity like this, where the tr?gedy and the trial
>oth took pl?ce, you may conceive what sort of disputes
nis condition of public opinion giv< s rise to. Ail I can
ay in conclusion Is, that I hope no further trouble will

I document is that of showing that any a1:en>?t.vn between
tbr complete separation ct Lombtrrty from the Germanic
Gobtec oration, and Ma come let e inclusion witbin It, would
II be really impossible lather Germany is bound to gut?
rautce the integrity ol tbe extra-German territories of

such territories enter practically into tbe ConfederatioQ;

* Indeed, It is clear tbat if Austria were allowed to enter
the Germanic Confederacy in teipentol ber noc-German
1 territories, the rtsn't would be to desuoy ibe uaUoce of
11 Germanic to*' e with b tbe confederacy. Tbe population
~ of the wbole coule-ierscr, exciusisely of A'tstr<a, is bat
"* about tbrty iwo miilioos, wnereas tbe popniation of the
" Aus'riun rnp'ro is about lorty millions We bare soan
a ibat, to exclude Lombardv from a direct share in tbe
J federal aamiMs* ration at Frankfort, aud yet to establish
tbe doctrine tbat Germany, if sbe p eased, would be at
liberty to go to war for tbe sake of Lombard;,
would, yvnd-nfe beli", be a mere quibble ; foe
. LombarSy would gain smi'ar advaaUgee with Hivana
or Wfrtinibeig It Is, therefore, to prer.sfly
this subversion of tbe ba'ance of power be'
twrcn tbe Getmattic States tbat tbe argument of the
' Austrian part; on tbe subject of German obligations

L Walrwski reminds us, it was formally acknowledged by

tbe Pitt), says tbe French Funster for Foreign Alfa.rs,
