Daniel . sickels.

The following article from the Philadel-
phia Bulletia in relation to the recent rec
onciliation of Mr.. and Mrs. Sickles, will
meet with very general approval
DANTEL AND TERESA.
1t will crafty the lovers of pure morals
and the admirers of vindicated laws, to
learn that the most excellent man, the Hon.
Daniel e. Sickels, and that very pure
minded lady, Mrs. Teresa Bagioli Sickels
have settled the little domestic difficulty
that for time interrupted the course of
their connubial fecility. 1t was little
unfortunate that this should have led to
the'killing of man, and the destruction of
womans reputation. But the great wrong
complained of, when their separation took
place, was that Mr.. Sickels' honor was de-
stroyed, and that henceforth there was
no peace or happiness for him in this world
The intelligence that he is recouciled to
his Teresa shows that the honor is all right
again, and, as for peace and happiness, they
will be the most devoted couple known in
history.
There never was honor that had such re-
cupertive powers as that of the Honorable
Daniel f. Sickels, A few months ago, the
honor aforesaid was destroyed; he was to-
tally dishonored, and in his humility
would have liked to have been called the
Dishonorable Daniel f. Sickles. But now
having made his wife narrate for the pub
lie the whole story of shame; having killed
Phillip Barton Key; having been lion
and hero in Washington for some moths;
having stood trial for murder and been ac-
Quilted amid the rejoicing of all Washing
ton he takes to his arms once more the
gentle Teresa, and his honor is just as
good as ever it was As for Mrs. Sickles,
his resuption of conjugal relations with her
proves that he is at last convinced that she
is just as pure and virtuous as he is. of
this, many persons had already no doubt;
but his public acknowledgement of the fact is |
quite touching, and it is gratifying to have
the truth set so clearly before the public
eye.
Considering the happy results, in the to-
tai restoration of the damaged honor of the
Hon, Daniel E. Sickles, the killing of Key
and the excitement and expense to Govern
ment of his trial were perfectly proper
A good many men ought to be killed, and
a great many trials and acquittals ought
to take place rather than have any damage
done to such precious article as Mr.. Sick
les honor That trial, with its hosts of law
yers, its clerical supes;" its chambermaid
coachmen and footmen; its fashionable
young lady witnesses; its Mysteries and
fainting seems; its demonstration of the vir-
tue, nobleness and extreme sensibility of
the Hon. Daniel e. Sickles; its publication
of Mrs. Sickles, narrative of the process
by which her husbands honor was damag-
ed; its triumphal celebration at the close
that trial we say, was highly proper thing
and it is seen in peculiar, edifying light,
now that Daniel and Teresa are reconciled
and consequently mnst be recognized as
quite equal in honor The world cannot
of any effect that trial may have
had so long as it has had the effect of re-
the separated man aud wife, and
thepl to become once more orna-
ments of our best society.
