The End Of lhe SIcLIes Tragedy .

SICKLEs LIVING WITH HIS WIFE AGAIN.
We published, the other day, an extract
from the New York Tribune, giving cur
rency to a rumor THAT Sickles was again
living with his wife. The following from
the Cincinnati Commercial would seem to
give full and and satisfactory confirmation
Of the report
New YORK, July 1.-THE Hon. Daniel
E. Sickles has sent letters to his most inti-
mate friends, informing them that he has
resumed his marital relations with his wife.
The letters were written yesterday and to-
day, and in consequence of the discovery
that months ago he resumed the relations
in the most intimate form. The story, for
which we have excellent authority, is this
Mrs. Sickles, during and since the trial,
has resided at her outraged husbands eoun-
try house, situated on Private avenue, lead
ing from Bloomingdale road, between 85th
and goth streets, and overlooking the river
Thos. @. Fields, the Public Administrator
of the city, and intimate friend of Sickles,
took house about June lst, which is three
quarters of mile or so above Mr.. Sickles'
villa, aud on o private avenue leading from
Bloomingdale road. Mr.. Field had not
been long in his new quarters when his
friend Daniel requested the privilege Of Oc-
cupying o room there, which request was
granted.
1t was, however, soon observed that Mr..
S. was in the habit Of leaving the house
where he lodged, late at night, and return
ing early in the morning. How often be
did this it is impossible to say. But at
length suspicion was aroused, and fixed in
the right direction. A few morning ago
Mr.. Field happened to be with Mr. E. B.
Hart, whom you remember as a fast and
fearful friend Of the homicide during the
trial whom should they meet but Mr..
Sickles on his return from his morning
walk. They asked him where he had
been, as friends do. He fired up, and gave
an answer importing that it was none Of
their business.
" But" said Mr. Field, ait is my bust
ness, if you have been having clandestine
intercourse with dishonored wife, and lv-
ing in my house the while, because it suits
your marital convenience" The upshot of
the matter was, Mr.. Sickles informed his
friends that that was to be done openly
henceforth which had been heretofore done
clandestinely. 1t is well understood that
Mr. s. could never have made out case
justifying a divorce, Oh the ground of his
wife'S adultery. But this news will sur
prise some persons.
The following letter from the Hon. Dan
iel E. Sickles, addressed to the editor of
the New York Herald, dated goth July,
confirms the above report, and thus ends
the "high-life tragedy" which shook the
very foundation of the upper circle" of
"aristocratic society" This will perhaps
be the last we shall hear of this heartrend-
ing and "kcartsreuniting" affair of that
once "inconsolabe" man, whose only Com
panion" in confinement was dog, and now,
that he is at liberty, is fully reconciled to
again take to his bosom q dishOnorcd q0ifs.
How appropriate of him are the following
lines from the immortal Shakespeare
"'Twere better to be lowy born,
And range with humble livers in content,
Then be perk'd up in a glistening grief,
And wear golden sorrow"
The following is the letter to the Herald:
The reconciliation was my own act,
without consultation with any relative,
connection, friend or adviser whatever
blame, if any belongs to the step, should
fall on me. lam prepared to defend what
