A Woman on the Sickles Trial.

The North Iowa Times contains q letter
from q lady-a sister of Lydia II. Sigourney
commenting upon IN editorial in that pa
per in relation to the killing Of Key, in which
il was said that "Sickles could not have lived
had he not have taken vengeance on the wi
lev scoundrel who had robbed him of his po-
siiion aud disgraced his name" This lady
correspondent had supposed that mans
virtue was inherent, Il part OF his nature, and
not simply reflection of the virtue OF his
wife" But she iniers from the editorial al
uded 10, that "when Mr.. Sickles went TO
Congress, his position. his honor depended
upon the chaste behavior OF Mrs. Slckles, his
wife, and she an italian at that! The beau
tiful woman, captiyated by the graces OF a
haudsomer man than her husband, sins is dis
covered, aud exposed-and Mr.. s., the only
innocent person in the affair, shoots MI Key
not for betraying his wife, but for dishonoring
him !" This she pronouDces "egregious SELF
ishness," and continues as follows:
at is strange how differently our sexes are
cons nstituted. Women survive these disagree
able developments every day. If Mr.. Siekles
bad hired this assignation house, and met
Mrs. Swizzles, do you think Mrs. Sickles
would have gone ou: to shoot the fsitbless
crinoline who had stolen her husband? No
sir. Women do no such foolish things, and
why =? Because, if we are virtuous we have
confidence in our virtue, and We feel that no
dereliction Of the husband can or ought to
affect the virtue of the wife. But suppose
on some fue Sabbath morning oil the women
in Washington who suspect their truant lords
should sally out, swords and pistols by theii
Sides to chastise the dear creatures who had
stolen their affections, would not this mark
an interesting epoch in bstory?"
The following shows what woman thinks
Of mans courage:
"Aud yet this man, who could not meet the
hollow shells of humanity that formed bis
society at Washington until be had vlndica
ted his honor, must now meet the mnltltudes
at his trial-hear the coarse jeerings OF un'
principled bertinss--confront this vile who
he magnanimously promised not to injure'-,
hear again aud again, with exaggeration and
minutie, the whole history Of his misery re-
viyed-meet the wondering looks OF his little
one turning from father to mother for an ex'
planstion of this mystery, end in after years
be tortured by her recurrence to the hrsl
chapter of her life's reality III he can do al
this aud dare to meet this Maker at last witS
the brand of murderer on his soul, and YET
could not meet the tallow-faced, moustachec
pupyles Of his club.room, tell me. in Code
name, in what consists the superior courage
Of manhood? 2"
