The Sickles Case Again.
New YoRK Monday JuIv |

NEW YORK, Monday, July IL.
The Hon. Daniel E. Sickles has sent
letters to his most intimate friends, inform
ing them that he has resumed his marital
relations with his WIFE The letters were
written yesterday and to-day, and in con
sequence of the discovery that months ago
he resumed the relations in the most init
mate 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 Eigh-
ty-fifth and Ninetieth- streets, and overlook
ing the river. Thomas c. Fields, the Pub
lie Administrator of the city, and intimate
friend of Mr.. Sickles, took house about
June 1st, which is three-quarters of mile
or so above Mr.. Sickles' villa, and on
private avenue leading from Bloomingdale
road. Mr.. Field had not been long in his
new quarter before his friend Daniel re-
quested the privilege of occupying a room
there, which request was granted
L. was. however, soon observed that Mr.
S. was in the habit Of leavins; the house,
where he lodged, late at night, and return
ing early in the. morning How often he
did this it is. impossible to say. But at
length suspicion was aroused, and fixed
in the right direction. A few mornings
ago Mr.. Field happened to be with Mr.. E.
manuel B. Hart, whom you remember as a
fast and fearful friend of the homicide du-
ring the trial; whom should they meet but
Mr.. Sickles on his return from his morning
walk. They asked him where he had been,
as friendsdo. He fired up, and gave an an
swer importing that it was none of their
business. But" said Mr.. Field, :" it is
my business, if you have been having clan
destine intercourse with q dishenored wife,
and living in my house the while because
it suits your marital conveninee." The
upshot of the matter was, Mr.. Sickles in
formed his friends that that was to be done
openly henceforth which had been hitherto
done clandestinely., 1t is well understood
that Mr.. S. could never have made out a
case justifyiug a divorce, on the ground of
his wife's adultery. But this news will
surprise some persons.
He concludes his letter by saying, "let
me ask only one favor of those who, from
whatever motive, may deem it necessary or
agreeable to comment in public or private
upon this sad history, and that is-to aim
all their arrows at my breast, and for the
sake Of my innocent child, to spare her yet
youthful mother, while she seeks in sor-
row and contrition the mercy and pardon of
Him to whom, sooner or later, we must all
appeal"
