threats of vengeance and his sister
Mrs. Pendlcton, is. known to have been
sorely afflicted by his, untimcly death,

o. The guilty connection between ,A[s,
Key, and Mrs, Sickles, will, ! under
stand, be admitted, to avoid disclos-
ures injurious to the memory Of Mr.
Key; and the. argument of the prose.
cution will be directed to examine
whether the existence Of such crirni.
nal connection excuses the Staying of
theseducer by thehusband's hand, ,and
whether Mr.. Sickles1 committed the
act under the extenuating influence of
an exasperating conviction of this fact.
If precedents are of value it will BE-
difficult for the prosecution to sustain
their side of the case. It is but short
time since, that III the neighboring State
Of Virginia,na certain Mr. Myers pro.
ceeded to the9bed room Of the man
from whom he had received a2similai,
injury, and shot him while. in bed
Public opinion justified. and a jury &C..
quilted him without leaving the box.
Again, in this very city, but within the
|space Of the last two or three years., i
young man from near the Navy Yard,
called on the seducer Of his sister and
demanded the reparation of q marriage
for the injured girl, which being refused
he shot the seducer. Public opinion
justified, and jury acquitted him with:
out elaving the, box.,g,: Nor are such
prfccdents confined to this country.
Lord Napier has stated it as his belief
that if in England the criminal CON
nection be of the character stated no
jury could be found which would con-
vict the husband. 949" @ta@ t@l9t sol'l
n The question attempted to be rails:
ed az to whether Mr.. iSickles himself
was addicted to icentious indulgences
in his youth, is entirely outside. the
record. His early vices, if he had
such, certainly did not justify Mr.. Key
in robbing him Of the honor of his home,
or his loved and only child Of her fu-
ture. 9'i'i sea "7'' 80. s@0t'.,4. s2iif
Few men, I presume, would like to
have theirpast lives rummaged, and all
the indiscretions' Of the past dragged
forth at such an hour as this, which
has overtaken Mr.. Sickles. But this
fact is patent, and admitted even by
all Mr.. Keys friends, that from the
time Mr.. Key was introduced to his
house, and ever since his first residence
here, Mr.. Sickles' conduct as father,
as husband, and as man, has been
not only blameless, but guarded by
most jealous care.,o No one in Wash
ington can say that he has ever seen
him in 2 gambling house, which here
is the fashionable resort of. men whom
the country g delights to honor,'' or al
a bar room, much less at any place o.
more dubious character. His whole
soul appeared to be centered on ambi
ton, the advancement of his political
} adherents in New, Y ork, and the cult
vationof happy domestic life. A tt
his parliamentary duties he was, strict
ly and scrupulonsly attentive, and .he
was considered by many, among 9th
ers by the Speaker, as the ablest mem
Der Of the present House. Ever,
Tuesday he set aside for his wife's re
g ceptions, and every Thursday for en-
terta'nments to his political and per
sonal friends, where always was to b.
met much of what is most brilliant ant
best in Washington society. Is it pos
sible to conceive that the act by whicl
i the scattered all his dreams, and rush
} ed on a risk Of life and all that give
it charm, was not the work of MAJ
S|impulse OF passion? or that it was thu
b act Of q cool, calculating, bad man?
