The SiCkles Case.

ES- After some three days occupied
in empaneling a jury, which was MOI
done until some three or four large pan
els were exhausted, the trial of Daniel E.
Sickles was fairly commenced ON the eth
inst. The state of public opinion, as
evidenced in the examination for jurors,
seemed to strongly favor the prisoner
The Court room is constantly packed
with spectators, among which are many
prominent politicians, and the fathers Of
both Mr.. and Mrs. Sickles. The evidence
50 far, though lengthy, possesses but lit
tie interest, as it develops no importan
fact not heretofore published. A large
number Of witnesses viii be examined on
the part Of the prosecution, and the Trial
will doubtless last for week or two.
