that the Derringer, which had an explo-
ded cap on when found, belonged to
Key. 1t was from this, probably, that
Sickles retreated.
Among the many speculations is that
the first shot heard was from Key,
taking for granted that he had this
Derringer; and that Sickles first snap
ped. lie then retreated, and was fol-
lowed up by Key, who, knowing that
he had fired and that Sickles did not,
flung the empty pistol to further discon-
cert Sickles, or with natural move
ment in self-defence. (The spot where
the pistol was found would seem to
strengthen this surmise. Sickles hav-
ing mastered his weapon, returned,
facing Key, who retreated, and fired
the shot which took effect in Keys
groin.

The slckles' Trial.
The Sickles' trial is still progressing
but very slowly. Much of the evidence
offered by the defence has been declared
inadmissible by the Judge, and much
time is consumed by the counsel in
arguing the points of the case. This
is the case in regard to the confession
of Mrs. Sickles, which was offered to
show the state of mind Mr.. Sickles
would naturally be in. The confession
we consider too filthy to be published.
The Washington dispatch to the 7ri-
oas's-ststes that the whole of the con-
fession is in Mrs. olckles, kanlwr;t;no
It's plainly and distinctly written, and
bears little if any evidence of the ner-
vousness and trepidation natural to the
|penning of such paper, which to say
the least is somewhat singular. AT all
events Mrs. Sickles must have been
long since devoid of all shame. The
evidence goesto show that the meetings
of Mrs. Sickles and Mr.. Key were
almost of daily occurrence, and was in
fact the talk of the neighborhood. 1t
is now thought, from the evidence that
has been offered. that verdict Of JUS
tifable homicide will be brought in.
The mystery hanging over the Der
ringer pistol has not yet been cleared
up. A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia Press, while on this subject says:
| In connection with the ball, may
remark that it does not fit the Derrin-
ger pistol picked up in the street some

Tho Result.
A fresh Northern breeze and the
great National Republican sentiment
of free labor has borne sway over the
entire North during the week past.
South side Sectional Democracy is
everywhere routed and sent from the
6eh in dismay. Appointment New
England paper in view of'these tri-
umphs well and truly says: "Bad Mr..
Webster lived till to-day, the despair
~isb which, in ls4s, he said there was
no North, would have ch.need, and
his heart might haveswarmed with the
eyidencethat there was, at last, a North,
and that the principles which his public
life illustrated were reaching forward
to permanent possession of the govern
ment. The entire line of the free
states has been brought into political
action, and their adherence to the
National Republican organization and
its capacity for government tried and
proved in various fields. Connecticut
yielded the most important results in
return of full republican delegation
to Congress, besides the retention by
the same party OF her state govern
ment; St. Louis followed in brilliant
free soil triumph at holly contested
city election, saddling the fraudulently
chosen democratic congressman from
that city with load that he can hardly
stand up under; then Cincinnati and
Cleveland responding from over the
river joined in the chorus with an
Opposition" victory. Michigan in a
judicial election, placed herself erect
and strong again in the republican
column. Chicago renewed its pledge
of like allegiance, and Keokuk of Iowa,
like Cleveland, doubtful city, bowed
gracefully to the blast out of the North
for Liberty and Union one and insepa-
rable. Portland, the star of the East,
appeared again above the horizon; and
Rhode Island so Astounding in Patriot
ism and Nationality, as to hold two
republican parties without giving its
enemies any advantage, pledged its

Many of our cops<hporsries are
persevering in tbea endeaSors to bring
about an upssa of all the elements Of
oppcsit;sn to the Democrats party in !
1870. We have been amused BY the
contradictory reasons urged for this
action, and by the different and com
Trajectory purposes which are to be
accomplished when the union is effect
ed. We have refrained from comment,
until it seems imperative that we give
our readers our views, lest our con-
timed silence should be misunderstood.
"A triumph of any party which will
not inaugurate and carry forward the
reforms demanded by the country,
will be equivalent to defeat. The
reversal of the action of the govern
ment in relation to slavery, is the first
thing demanded; but that is not all.
The commercial policy of the nation is
to be oyerhauled and amended. The
leaks whereby the treasury is exhausted,
and the government reduced to bank.
ruptcy, must be sought out and closed.
The jobbing and nepotism, the specu-
lation and robbery, which have made
the national administration reproach
where our American newspapers go,
must be exposed and corrected. The
relation which the government bears
to other powers-our European as well
as American neighbors = must be set
tied on ( just and honorable basis, and
in such way, that fillibustering and
piracy will not have leg to stand on.
The improvement Of our rivers and
harbors upon some constitutional and
economical plan, must be undertaken.
The freedom of the public lands to
actual settlers, must be accorded as a
measure of justice to the landless and
to the Western States, and as guar
anty of the freedom of the Territories
now unoccupied. 8
Until the Republican party can put
in commission a government which is
willing and competent to do all these
things, honestly, boldly, constitutionally
and effectually, victory will be more
disastrous to our organization than de-
feat. We can bear a repulse while
true to our colors, but triumph which
does not bring in its train the reforma-
tory measures demanded by the masses
of the people in the South as well as
the North, would be a disaster from
which there is no recovery.
These, in brief, are the views of this
Journal as to the labor to be performed
by the candidates of the party which
shall next take possession of the Gov
eminent If all that is demanded by
the exigencies of the times, can be
accomplished by an union of the ele-
ments of opposition and the elevation
to the first or second place ut WISH
