"You have no right to speak thus, for

"Will you measure weapons, sir! Mine

Immediately after the shooting, the
body of Mr.. Key was picked up and con-
We yed into the Club House, from which
he was in the habit of telegraphing to
Mrs Sickles.
One shot took effect in the groin, the
ball passing through the body to the skin
at the back where it remains. Another
entered the right chest, and the third
grazed the skin Immediately outside
where the first ball lodged.
A coroner's inquest was held, and g
verdict returned that "Mr Key came to
his death by two balls fred from pistols
in the hands of Daniel E. Sickles, and
that either would prove fatal"
Mr.. Key is nephew of Judge Taney
and brother-iD-law of Mr.. Pendleton
Mem Der of Congress from Ohio. The
father Of Mr.. Key was the author of "Th'
Star Spangled Banner" Key and Sick
les were both the intimate friends of tbt
| President.
As Mr.. Sickles has killed the District
Attorney, it will be necessary for th'
President to appoint another to fill hi
place.
An attempt will be made tomorrow
to issue a writ of habeas corpus, and bring
Mr.. Sickles before Judge Crawford, il
the hope to release him on bail.
Mr. Keys friends are quite indignant
and talk about shooting Mr.. Sickles a
sight.

will say this communication is premature
that this question should be lie: alone for

they are doing. You will no doubt un-
derstand me as alluding to a candidate

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS"

Several editors are disputiDg out west
about the comparative length of the ears
of corn they have received Can they find
nothing better to boast of than the length
of their earsl Yes, they are unanimous
in their opinion respecting the legality of
Wood, Eddy & Co.'S lottery. They note
the fact that the respectability of this old
established firm would scorn to forfeit
their well.earned reputation by hesitating
or failing to pay the prizes drawn against
them. They also unite in saying that BY
sending SO, SIS, or s23. to Wood, Eddy
& Co, Wilmington, Delaware, or Augus-
ia, Ca, you will stand chance Of recei-
wing in return the whole, half or quarter
of their magnificent prize of $50, 900.
