Reconciliation of sickles and his Wife.

1t is now definitely known that Daniel H.
Sickles, who has figured SO extensively us
the champion of female virtue, the dishon'
orcd and hoart.broken husband, and the
assassinator OF Philip Barton Key, has rc'
sumcd marital relations with his wife. From
tho following, telegraphod to tho Cincinnati
Commercial it appears that their reconcU-
iation, though but recently mado public
took place several months ago
The Hon Daniel Il Sicklcs has scnt lot
tcrs to his most intimate friends. informing
them that he had resumed their marital re-
lntious with his wife. The letters were
written Yesterday aud to-day, aud in con
sequence of tho discovery that months ago
he resumed the relations in tho most init
mate form. Tho story, for which wo have
excellent authority, is this
Mrs. Sickcs, during aud since tho trial,
has resided at hcr outraged husbands coun'
trv house. situated on Private Avenue. lead
ing from Blnomingdale road. between Elght-
ieth and Ninutioth street. and overlooking
tho river. Thomas &. Fields. tho Public
Administrator Of tho city. aud intimate
! friend of Mr.. Sicklcs. took house ABOUT
! June lst. which is three quarters OF Il milo
or So above Mr.. Sicklos' villa, and on u pri-
vatn avenue leading from Bloomingdalo
road. Mr. Flcld had not been long in hls
new quarter, before his friend Daniel re-
quosted tho privilege OF occupying room
/ there, which request was granted
! 1t Vas, however, soon observed that Mr
/ S was in the habit of leaving tho house
whoro ho lodged late at night. and return
I ing early in the morning. How often no
did this it is impossible to say. But at
length suspicion was aroused. aud fixed IN
| tho right direction. A few mornings ago
! Mr.. Field happened to DO with Mr. Emanu-
| cl Is, Hart, whom you remember AS last
and teariul friend of tho homicide during
tho trial whom should thcy meet but Mr.
! Sicklos on his return from his morning walk.
They asked him where he had been, as
friends do. He fred up, and gave an an
swcr importing that it was none OF thoiT
business. But" said MIR. Fiold, "it is my
business, if you have boon having clandcs
tine intercourse with q dishonOrcd wife, anC
living in nv house tho while, because il
suits your marital convenience. The up
shot of tho mattUr was, Mr.. SickIcs informed
, his friends that that was to bo done openly
hcncciorth which had bOCu hitherto done
, clandcs iucIy. 1t is we'll understood tia
Mr.. 5. could never have mado out cas'
: iustifying divorce. on the ground OF In
wfo's adultery. But this nUws will surprise
p some persons.
f The Now York Tribune IS assured that
\ "in taking this remarkable step, MIR. Sickle
{ has aionated himself from most, if not al
Z of those personal and political frionds VIII
. dovotodIy adhered to bin, during his reccn
a imprisonment and trial" But need it SUI
2 prise any one The disclosures of tho pros
in regard to tho character of Mr.. Sicklo'
# show that no is not tho right man for
o champion of virtue, or an avengor of Ou
Y ragged honor and his final reconcliatio
le with his wife, whom he had maguanimous
1- rcfrancd from injuring. though ho wish'
o. mover to SEQ her again, is a fitting tormin
