The Honorable Daniel K. Sickles, thu
man who murdered Key for having al
he said, dishonored his bed. is again liv
ing with his immaculate wife, whereup
on q contemporary very tru.hfully remarks
bat it will be gratifying 10 the lovers o
pure morals. and the admirers of vindicate ed
laws,to learn that THAT most excellent mar
the Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, and that very
pure minded lady, Mrs. Teresa Bagiol
Sickles, have settled the little domestic
difficulty that for time interrupted the
course Of their connubial felicity. II wa,
a little unfortunate that this difficulty
should have led 10 the killing Of man,
and the destruction Of a womau's repu.
tation. But the great wrong complained ol
when their separation took place, was
that Mr.. Sickle's honor was destroyed
and that henceiorth there was no peace
or happiness for him in this world. The
intelligence that he is reconciled to his
Teresa shows that the honor is all right
again, and as for peace and happiness.
they will be the most devoted and happy
couple known in history.
There never was an honor that had
such recuperative powers as that Of the
Honorable Daniel E. Sickles. A few
months ago the honor aforesaid was de-
s,royed; he was totally dishonored, and in
his humility would have liked to have been
called--the Dishonorable Da iel L. Sick
les. But now having made his wife mar.
rate for the public the whole story Of her
shame; having killed Phillip Barton Key;
having been made a lion and hero in
Washington for some months; having
stood trial for murder and been acquit.
ted amid the rejoicings Of oil Washington,
he takes TO bis arms once more the gen.
tlu Teresa. and his honor is just as good as
it tever was! As for Mrs. Sickles, his re-
sumption Of conjugal relations with her
proves that lie is at least convinced that
she is Just as pure and yirtuous as he is.
OF this, many persons had already no
doubt; his public acknowledgement Of the
fact is quite touching, and it is gratifying
to have the truth set so clearly before the
public eye.
Considering the happy results, in the
total restoration of the damaged honor Of
the Honorable Daniel e. Sickles, the kill
ing Of Key. and the excitement and ex
pense 10 the government Of bis trial, were
perfectly proper. A good many mon ought
to be killed and great many trials and
acquittals ought to take place rather than
and damage done to such precious arti

nesses; its Mysteries and fainting fits;
its demonstrations Of the virtue, nobleness
and extreme seusibility Of the Honorable
Daniel E. Sickles; its publication Of Mrs
Sickle's narrative Of the process BY which
her husband's honor was damaged: its
triumphsl celebration at the close--,hat
trial, we say, was a highly proper thing,
and il is seen in peculiarly edifying light,
now that Daniel and Teresa are reconcil-
cd, and consequently must be recognized
as quite equal in honor. The world can.
not complain Of any eff Ct that trial may

feet Of reconciling the separated man and
wife, and enabling them to become once
more ornaments of our best society.
