The SIcKLEs TRIAL-The Sickles trial was
the great attraction in Washington on Monday,
and the universal theme of conversation. Great
anxiety was manifested by the throng about the
Court House to gain admittance, but the doors
were not thrown wide open as usual to the pub
lie, and only about fifty persons were admitted
to the area usually occupied by SPECTATORS
Many outsiders were quite clamorous for adj
mittance, and number gained ingress at the
windows. The space within the bar of the Court
was densely crowded with jurors, lawyers re-
porters and witnesses. More than the usual
number of uniformed policemen were present,
and there was general good order Observed
The judicial preliminaries having been conclud-
Is. NJ Siclzlas- was arraigned and the indict-
ment for the murder Of Mr.. Key was read to
him, when, in response to the usual question, he
answered in a firm tone, "not guilty" The
traverse jurors were severally called and accept
ed or challenged according to the character of
their response. Out of the panel of thirty jurors
Eve only were selected and sworn. These were
discharged until ten o'clock Tuesday morning.
with caution from the Judge not to speak with
or listen to any person the subject of the trial.
Seventy-fve talesmen were ordered to be sum-
moned by the Marshal and returned at the above
named time, and the Court adjourned.
The whole of Tuesday was consumed in the
effort to complete the empannelling of jury, but
without success. After exhausting the regular
panel and seventy-fve talesmen only eight ju-
rors had been obtained up to the adjournment
of Court. The marshal was ordered to summon
seventy-fve more talesmen, to be in Court on
Wednesday, when it is probable the other four
jurors necessary to try the case will be accepted
from among them. The opening speeches,
showing the theory of prosecution and defence,
will then follow, and be looked for with inter-
est as we'll as the evidence.
1t is now understood that insanity is to be the
ground of defence, so as to bring in the moral
aspect Of the case.

Our DIFFICULTIES WITH PARAGUAY-The
correspondent of the N. Y. Herald, in Buenos
Ayres, writing on January 81, states that there
is probability of the peaceful settlement of our
Paraguayan difficulties. Commissioner Bowlin
had had an interview with the plenipotentiaries
of the Paraguayan government, and they had
expressed an anxious desire for fair, just and
peaceful arrangement with the United States ;
they further stated that they were authorized to
form treaty with the United States similar to
those with England, France and Sardinia, and
were willing to leave to arbitration whatever
claims the United States or its citizens might
have against Paraguay. Mr.. Bowlin made no
positive answer, but was to meet the plenipo-
tentiaries at the city of Gorrientes within thirty
days. .-.

The New CENT POISONOUS is stated that
several instances have occurred in different parts
of the country where children have died from
the effects of poison taken into the system by
swallowing the new nickle cent. AS this coin
is small and easily swallowed, there is great
danger in allowing young children to have them
in their possession. The metal which compos-
es it has had fatal effect, and would seem to
be poisonous.

FROM N1cARAGUA.-The late intelligence from
Nicaragua has created some excitement in off
cial circles in Washington and is considered both
piquent and startling:-
The United States sloop-of-war Decatur hav-
ing anchored at one of the numerous coves neal
the port of San Juan del Sur, on the Pacific
was taken for an American filibuster The Pre-
sldent, on being apprised, ordered out three hun
dred troops, and personally commanding, took
the Transit Road, for the purpose of resisting
the landing, but had not quite reached the shore
before being met by special courier giving the
true character of the stranger. A retreat was
then made, burning or otherwise destroying ev-
cry bridge they passed over. Meanwhile, a
French officer, heading small military detach-
ment, crossed the Lake to the river San Juan,
where they violently seized the White steamers,
and forcibly imprisoned their captains and crews
They were not released when the Dee left.
The officials put the seizure of the boats on
the ground of an anticipated invasion, and the
fear of their falling into the hands of the invad-
ers. On the other hand, the American agents
say that it is gross invasion of their rights, and
seizure Of the company's boats and property to
prevent the opening Of the Transit and done
through English and French influence.
Another and later version of the affair is that
boats were seized on the supposition that the
United States sloop-of-war Decatur, which had
come in sight, was a vessel loaded with flibus-
tiers. Under that impression, the Nicaraguan
authorities placed the boats under the guns of
Fort San Carlos in order to keep them safe from
the supposed ilbusters. The real character of
the Decatur becoming known, the boats were
next day returned to the agents of the Company.
SIR GORE OUsLEY AND THE NICARAGUA
TREATIEs.-A Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore american says:
The Administration is most exercised in re-
gard to the recent turn of events in Nicaragua,
by the TACT that Sir Gore Ousley concluded his
Treaty of Commerce and Amity, and then start
ed for Costa Rica leaving that relinG uishing the
Mosquito Protectorate suspended He thus
gained the most material advantage without
making the concession which policy dictated
should first be required by Nicaragua. This
point is much discussed in diplomatic circles
here, and in some quarters, is supposed to in
volve the same sort of sharp practice, the bare
mention of which, has so much harrassed our
venerable President That is one view, but the
good faith of President Martinez is another,
able certainly, that Nicaragua should have be-
gun negotiations, by yielding every thing that
England asked, and concluded them without Sc
curing that compensation in which her sover-
eighty and honor are concerned
