The SIckleS Case.

We find in yesterdays Washington Union, pretty
full report of the proceedings in the above Mon
day last amounting however to little nothing beyond
the obtaining of five jurors from the regular panel and
the consequent order by the Court that seventyfve
taesmen should be summoned to attend the next Tues

Robert Ould the District Attorney, appeared for the
prosecution He stated that Mr. Carlisle had been
ISOLATED with him. The counsel for the defence consists
Of Messrs. Brady and Graham, of New York Stanton,
of Pittsburg Phillips of Alabama and Chiffon, Rat

was completed on Wednesday, and that the trial will
really commence to-day The telegraph confirms this.
| CONFERENCE.-THE last Wilmington Journal makes
the following correct and sensible remarks the sub
iect of Conventions in the Congressional Districts
We have few words to add on the subject of Con.
ventiOnS We look upon Conventions or their equiva
Tents always aording the safest fundamentally for
party organization. General consent may, by usage
supply the place of Il nomination denomination, but
to do fully, there ought TO be no doubt about the
matter We think that if respectable number of Dem
ocrats III any district call 1E Convention they have
right to have their wishes respected although they
may not apparently constitute majority. Mere fac
ton is, Of course another thing Such things do not
necessarily, nor indeed at all imply hostility to any par
ticuar person persons Conventions arc meetings
friends not of enemes-cy arc held to prevent or nd
| Just differences not to create them
| We agree with the Journal. We think the sureSt
way TO ensure harmony and at the same time the best
way to unite the entire party strength is TO hold Con
vertlons The late member Of Congress- if he has done
well, always has the advantage in Conventions If lie
has done we'll let the people say So and nominate him
again or not just as they may choose if he has not
done well, let them say The power is with the PEG
pie. OF course remarks general and whatever
the Democratic people Of the different Districts may do
we shall be Herewith entirely content We arc not The
parti2an the champion of any Our sole wish is
to the party prosperous and triumphant and to see
| its principles maintained without regard to men.

Once two ministers of the gospel were con.

"Well," said the divine, waxing warm,
"you are running yousrelf by writing your
sermons and reading them OF Your con-
gregatian canpot become interested in your
preaching; and if you were called on ia

hold Of an old sermon, you would be com
pletely confused .
The young divine used ali his eloquence,
but in vain, to convince the old gentleman
that the written sermon expressed his own
thought and feelings, and if called upon he
could preach extemporaneously.

KANSAS FRUlTs.-The fruits Of the great
Sham Democratic scheme Of forcing slavery
upon Kansas BY the employment Of fraud and
force seem all to have ripened ct once. We
have Kansas adopting Free State Constitution
BY an overwhelming majority Of her inhabitants

cidedty anti slavery in her sentiments Of any
State 10 the oonfederacy. The appearance Of
her Senators At Washington will no doubt cause
some very wry faces among the Sham Democra-
tic members OF that body, but we much doubt
II they Will muster the courage TO carry out the
programme Of the last Congress-, and 10 refuse
Kansas admission into the Union till she shall
drst conform to the terms they then prescribed
simultaneously with this triumph Of free labor
in Kansas, We see Virginia drawing upon herself
1t Harpers Ferry an outbreak Of the fanatical
hatred Of slavery which the whole progress Of
the crusade against Kansas tended 50 naturally
to generate. II is true that in q material point
Of view Virginia escapes easily. But Der citi-

thus far 10 relation to that affair has not tended
TO strengthen their moral position. A third
