aroond ms heIds In order to recover damage
Tor the depreciation Of cattle; aad when the suit
70 brought the plaintiff must mot only prove
damage done, but also show that his fence was
safnc'ens to turn ordinary cattle. This requires
every ono to fence his crops, but obliges NO
one to make fences for keepieg his cattle. In
old countries where the land is mostly oil oc-
eupied, the rule has been the reverse of this.
viz: that every one should take care Of hin own
cattle. Urder such circumstances, the rule is
not only just but convenient. The present de-
c'sion Is meant to apply to prairie country,
where there are large commons, and where
nearly all let their cattle run at large,

After the series Of brilliant victoris won by
the Republicans in the March and April cleo
tions, the Washington States made a clean
breast Of the real cause of the crushing defeats
its party had sustained. Here is what it said:
" In this critical contingency they 1.-THE North
ern Denocrats) are appalled, by demand for
still farther and ftill more embarrassing conces-
sion. 1t is not enough that they should sane
ton slavery in its most ohjectional respect, by
aiding in the recspture of the fugitive negro
it is not enough that they should admit slavery
into the Territories under cover of the Consti-
tution-it is not enough that they should con-
sent to reverse the traditional policy of the gov.
ernment and to accept the illlmitable extension
OF Southern. insttutiOns-t is not enough that
they should tetter the arm of Congress hitherto
so active and efficient in the restriction Of Slav-
cry, and evoke the dormant energies of the iu-
dietary for its protection in the Federal domain
all these things. and more besides, tie North
srm Democracy haze yielded; out their Southern
associates are net yet content. They must agree
to employ the po,ner Of the Government for the
propagation Of Slavery. 1t is condition they
cannot accept Ii is an exacton for which they
were not prepared after the solemn reco gnition
OF ZION INTERVENTION among the fundamental
principles of the party.
"What wonder il the Northern Democracy
now surrender in dispairy Who is surprised
what they say, 1t is no use for us to struggle
against such overwhelming odds-on one side
the frantic fanaticism OF our own section: on the
other, the ever increasing exactions of our
Southern allies. Why attempt to bear up un-
der this accumulation of endorsements Over
and over again have we encountered defeat 10
support of the South but the sacrifice is not yet
sufficient. Why make further effort, when. at
best it will be unavailing against our foes, and
unsatisfactory to our friends ?"

| A WOMAN ON THE SICKLEs CAsE,-The No, II
iowa Times contains letter from q lady-,
sister OF Lydia II. Sigourney-commentine
upon an editorial in that paper in relation To
the killing OF Key, in which it was said tha,
'Sickles could not have lived had he not have
taken vengeance on the willy scoundrel who had
roobed him Of his position and disgraced his
name. His correspondent had Supposed that
. mans virtNe Was inherent, part of bis ma.
ture, and not simply reelection of the virtue
OF his WIFE" But she infers from the editorial
alluded TO-, that 'when Mr.. Sickles went to
Congress, his position, his honor, depended upon
the chaste behavior of Mrs. Sickles, his wife,
and che an Italian at that The beautiful wo-
man captiyated by the graces Of bandsomer
man than her husband, sins, is discovered, and
exposed-and Mr.. S. the only innocent person
IN the affair, shoots Mr. Key, not for betrayine
his wife, but for dishonoring himr This she
pronounces "egregious selfishness," and con-
tinues as follows:
ut is strange how differently our sexes are
constituted. Woman survive these dsagreea-
BILE Developments every day. If Mr.. Sickles
u"u i Cu tuio dcstsudtIou uOuSe, anu met Mrs.
Swizzles, do you think Mrs. Sickes would have
gone out to shoot the faithless crinoliue who
had stolen her husbands! No, sir! Women do
no such foolish things; and why? Because, if |
We are virtuous we have confidence in our yir-
tue, and We feel that no dereliction of the bus-
band can or ought to effect the virtue Of the |
wife. But suppose on some fine Sabbath morn |
ing all the women of Washington who suspect |
their truaht lords should sally out, swords and
pistols by their sides, TO cbastse the dear crea-
lures who had stolen their affections, would not
this mark an interesting epoch in history?
The following shows what u woman thinks of |
a mans courage:
"And yet, this man, who could not meet the
hollow shells of humanity that formed his So

nously promised mot to injure"-hesr again
and again, with exasgeration and minutia, the
whole history of his misery revived-meet the
wondering looks Of his little one turning from
ather to mother for an explanation of this
mystery, and in after years be tortured by her
TO the first chapter Of her life's
eality! If he can do all this and dare to meet
lis Maker at last with the brand OF a murderer
IN his soul, and yet could not meet the tallow-
sced, mustached puppies of his club-room; tell

The Jury in the case of Mr.. Sickles were out
20 minutes. All but one were ready on the
instant for verdict Of not lilty, and he soon
came to it. The delay seems, however, to have
been mostly for appearance sake-to maintain
the solemnity of the farce

The special Washington Correspondent of the
\. 7. Courier and Enquirer says:
Negotiations are understood TO be in progress
for the restoration Of Douglas to the Democratic
party in regular form.
The condition which the Douglas party insist
upon is that the other division shall cease to
denounce popular sovereignty as to slavery in
the Territories, and shall oppose the principle
no farther than to crush it out by executive in
reference, by the federal patronage, by courts
and mobs, and finally by the army in cases where
all other means fail.
This compromise will probably be adopted
without prejudice to the great object of the uni.
versal expansion Of Slavery, for after all, this
question will be settled not by what is said. but
by what is done, while using all the powers of
the Government to introduce slavery into Ter
ritory or State, it is perfectly easy for the De-
mocracy to avow an intense devotion to the
will and sovereignty of the people, Bargain to
be made in these plain and practical terms will
reinstate Mr.. Douglas as candidate before the
Charleston Convention.
He will be formidable competitor, and will
indeed, be likely TO command the support of
all the Democrats, save the fanatics of the
South Carolina school.
One OF these, Ex-Speaker Orr, declared a few
months ago, that Mr.. Douglas would have no
more chance in the Convention, than Martin
Van Buren.
