Washington March 24.-The Grand Jury,
more than week ago, made presentment
againsr Mr. Sickles for the Murder of Key.

torney to prepare an indictment, and: :pace it
before them for their final action. This he
did to-day, when it was returned by them as
true BILL" The reason for the delay is un-
derstood TO be that they might in the mean.
time have an opportunity to examine add.
tional witness, moro particularly relative to
Butterworth; so that if they discovered sufii-
cient cause, they could indict him jointly with
Sickles. Messrs. Stanton, of Pittsburg,
Magruder aud Ratcliff, accompanied by the

and asked that next Monday be set for trial,
