Shocking Tragedy at Washington
Philip Barton Key shot Dead in the street
by Hon. Daniel E. siCkles.
WASHINGTON, Sunday, Feb. 27-P.

WASHINGTON, Sunday, Feb 27-P.M
The vulgar monotony Of partisan passions
and political squabbles has been terribly bro
ken in upon to-day by an outburst of personal
revenge, which has filed the city with horror
and cOnSternation,-I cannot unfortunately
add, with absolute surprise
At l-2 o'clock to-day Mr.. PHILIP Bar
TON KEY, the United States Attorney for the
District of Columbia, was talking with Mr.
BUTTERwoRTH, of New York, at the corner Of
Pennsylvania-avenue and Sixteenth-street, near
the south entrance to the Executive Mansion
and some twenty yards from the Clubhouse On
PreSdent'SSquare, when he was accosted by
the Hon. ID. Z. SICKLEs, of New York Mr.
SICKLEs charged Mr. KEY with DESTROYING the
honor of his wife and his own happiness, and,
drawing a revolver, instantly shot him down
One ball, entering in at the left side, passed
completely through the body of Mr. KEY a
second was lodged in his thigh, and third
glancing, inflicted slight bruise. Mr. Key
fell, imploring Mr.. SIcKLEs not to kill him.
and died in a very few minutes
Mr.. KEY had inflicted upon Mr. SICKLEs
the greatest injury aud the most ntoerabe
dishOnOr possible. OF this the full confession
OF the other party to the crime leaves no doubt.
Their intimacy had continued for months
nearly year-and was carried on with every
conceivable circumstance of aggravation. 1t
seems that it came to the knowledge of Mr..
SIcKLEs on Friday that he took measures to
render himself perfectly certain of the truth;
and that under the frenzy and excitementcon'
sequent upon his wife's confession, he shot the
man who had injured him dead upon the street.
Mr.. S. surrendered himself to the officers OF
the law, and was committed to prison to await
his examination, which takes place to-day.
WASHINGTON Monday, Feb. Is.
Application will be made by Mr. SIcELES
for writ of habsas corpus, with a view topro-
cure his release on bail to await his trial His
wife eXonerates him from all blame and he
has the general sympathy of the community
In the Circuit Court, this morning, Mr.. Cas-
Isle announced the death of Mr. KEr, the
late District Attorney for the District Of Co
lumbia. While eulogizng the deceased as
courteous, frank, openhearted gentleman, be
forbore to speak of the cause which led to bis
death, as that was a subject for judicial inves'
tigation. The Court paid a similar compI'
ment, and as token of respect to the deceaS-
ed adjourned till Thursday.

EDWIN SMITH.

This noble democrat, who is the
peoples candidate for the office OF
State Senator, is daily creating hosts
of friends wherever he makes his ap-
pesrance among the voters Of Scott
county. The people want man Of bis
standing and bis capacity to represent
them in the State Senate. They have
got sick Of such apologies as Long
John Wesley Thompson, and are
bound that he shall not longer misrep
resent them. The people Of Scott
county want farmer-just such
man - Edwin Smith to do their
business at the State Capital-aud they
are bound to have him-will have him.
Long Join has got his eye upon q
Senatorial seat, but that is oil he ever
will have upon it while he resides in
Scott. The people somehow or other
cant appreciate his merits they don
understand that he has any. or that he
is in any way entitled to their suffra-
ges. Mr.. Smith is the choice of the
entire county, and will be elected in
spite Of any thing and every thing that
his Republican friends can say or do
for him.
Let every man in this city and
county, who wants to have Scott coun-
ty honorably represented in the Sen
ate OF Iowa, who wishes to have his
views aud feelings represented at that
place, vote and work, work and vote
