points Of low, ostensibly for the instruction Of

cussions the case was submitted without argu-
ment The jury were out from the closing, I'M
til three o'clock when they brought in a verdict
Of Mot Guilty r. which was received by the
audience with dealening applause
As the jury appeared all restraint seemed to
be thrown Of, aud every hing calculated to in
crease the altitude OF the audience was taken
possession Of Every one wanted to get sight
Of the jury. When the Judge directed the
clerk to call the names of the jury, the uproar
instantly subsidized, and as the clerk called the
jurors, they severally responded. When the
twelfth name was called and responded to, pin
might have been heard to drop in the suddenly
stilled crowd. The jury were all standing
Clerk-"Daniel f. Sickles, stand up and look to
the jury" Sickles stood up. Cerk-"How
say you, gentlemen, have you agreed to your
verdictH" ave have" Clerk--"How say you,
do you find the prisoner at the bar guilty or not
guilty ?" mot Guilty.. As the words fell
from the lips Of the foreman, there was one
loud, wild. thrilling, tumultnous hurra sent up
BY spectators Cheer after cheer resounded in
the Court room, and was taken up by the null
titude on the outside, and repeated Hats and
handkerchiefs were waved, and there was one
general rush towards the dock.
In the midst Of the uproar the stentorian
voice of Stanton was heard addressing the Court
in these words--"I move that Sickles be dis
charged from custody
Mr.. Stanton, with excitement said-"In the
name of Mr.. Sickles and of his counsel, desire
to return thanks to the jury"
Judge Crawford, who appeared to be the on
ly person in court not excited, said :-"Mr.
Stanton wait until the verdict is recorded"

that you fud Daniel +. Sickles not guilty 7"

Stanton-"I now move that Sickes be dis
charged from custody"

Sickles amid the renewed cheers of the au-
dience was taken out Of the dock by Capt. Wi
lev and Mr. Bre7a, the former being one Of
Siclles' most devoted friends kissed him at the
moment Of his deliverance, and held fast by him
as they tried to make the their way TO the door;
it was slow wolk, for congratulations earnest,
loud, and frankly expressed saluted Sickles at
all points Though strong emotion was exh!b-
tied, his eye was calm and steady, and the effort
which he manifestly made to retain calmness and
composure, was successful.
His expression betrayed no feeling Of joy, hui
was rather that of a man who felt conscious
that he had run no risk and that the trial through
which he had passed could have had no othe
result.
The Hon. Daniel +. Sickles was not only ac
Quilted Of murder, he was the hero of a tri
umpbql procession tile recipient of an ovation
such as persons who enjoy peculiar species OF
notoriety are too apt TO receive in this country
His counsel we're serenaded. and his clerical and
other friends received similar distinction. The
jurors also, who, not content with acquitting
the accused, came one by one TO his counsel and
made clean breast Of their feelings.
