AMENDING THE CRY CHARTER.-The bill of
Mr.. Pond, amending the charter Of this city and
revolutioniziDg the whole municipal government,
IL the special order of business in the Assembly
to-day. There are some good points in this bill,
as we have before remarked. Those clauses
which place more power in the hands Of the
Mayor, for instance, provide something long re-
CURED something, indeed without which, as
things now go, this city would not be fit
to live in in a short time. There is one
point proposed, which will attract general
attention, namely: prolonging the term Of
Office of some of our city officials. If the
Legislature is to interfere at all on this
subject, it is more just that terms OF
Office should be extended than decreased, for
the reason that when the people elect man to
serve them for certain time, 1t il presumable
that they have confidence in him, and desire that
he should hold Office for that period. II il
therefore, neither dignifed nor proper that mem
beers from the rural districts should put him on,
before his term expires. We doubt, indeed
whether they have constitutional right to Dc
this at all.

point. II had q fierce onslaught yesterday OF

AMERICAN CITIZENS IN Peruvian DUNGEONS
We publish to-day, in another column, three in-
teresting and touching letters from American
citizens, two of whom are now confined in the
classmates of Fort Independence, at Callao, and
the third-Mr Monsalve--was recently there,
tn victim Of most unprovoked outrage on the
part Of The Peruvian authorities. In all Of these
cases under one pretence or another, the ninth ar
ticle Of our existing treaty with the Peru-Bolivian
Confederation, which stpulates that our citizens
or their agents shall have free opportunity to be
present at the taking Of ell evidence and exami-
nations that may be exhibited in their trials, has
been wiliully violated. We must confess that it
il not alone in Peru, but in all Spanish and
Spanish American countries, this treaty stipula-
ton, which has been wisely inserted to shield the
rights Of our citizens, has been suffered, by pre-
vious administrations, to lapse into impotence.
We know that the foolish Koszta letter Of
Secretary Marcy has brought upon the Depart
ment Of State many cases Of wilfully originated
recIamations against foreign governments, and
that its portfolios are crowded with bogus cases.
But in the present cases with Peru we have
good reason to fear that they have been
aggravated by too long official residence
of our present Minister in Lima. We have
bad repeated information from private
and responsible sources in Peru that such is the
fact IL was well said by General Jackson that
American ministers abroad should be frequently
brought home, in order to re-Americanize them;
and the President could not do wiser thing nor
one more agreeable to the great majority Of our
citizens having business relations In Peru, than
TO apply this axiom to Mr.. Clay, and give him
the benefit Of short residence in his own coun-
try, from which he has been so long absent In
the cases which we have today brought forward
wedoubt not that an interview between Gen. Cas-
and Senior Zegarra, the newly received Minister
from Peru, would have beneficial result, and
! we hope it will take place at an early day.

THE WAGES MovEMENT.-W reverted briefly,
a few days ago, to the fact that many mechanics
were demanding higher wages, and had re-
fused to work at the old rates, in different cities
throughout the country. 1t is evident that the
financial crisis of 1857 could not have very
seriously affected these classes, or @ "strike'-
which is usually an indication of independence
and plenty of work-would not occur SO
soon after the shock. We publish elsewhere on
article from German contemporary, which
avows that the mechanics are only DESTROYS to
return to the prices Of labor before the panic,
now that trade has improved and defends the
position taken by the strikers.
In the German view, the strike is the result of
a closer combination Of the trade associations
a union which our contemporary highly COM
mends. In connection with the article referred
to. we give . communication Of many we
have received-from person asking for some
honest employment, ofany kind, whereby to sup
port his family and doubtless there are many
similar applications made daily in this city. To
all who are in want Of employment we would
suggest to go West, where they will have better
chance of obtaining IL than here. The tide of
emigration Is tending In that direction in great
force; and where the people 60 in numbers,
whether to colonizc, to farm or to prospect for
gold, trade must spring up, and the demand for
labor must increase.

THE TRIAL OF Mr.. SICKLEs.- Yesterday com
menced at Washington, before Judge Crawford,
the trial of Hon. Daniel E. Sickles, charged with
the murder Of Philip Barton Key on the 9th of
February last. Associated with Mr.. Ould, the
District Attorney, was Mr.. j. NJ. Carlisle, on be-
half of the people; and for the defence appeared
]. T. Brady, Of New York; E. p. Stanton, of Pitts
burg, and others. What rarely happens on such
occasions, both sides declared they were ready to
proceed; and five jurors were sworn, when the
panel of thirty was exhausted, and an order was
issued to summon seventy.five talesmen for
this day. The panel was evidently too small
considering that it was case in which so many
had become strongly prejudiced either on one
side or the other. 1t was surprising that even
five could be obtained from panel of thirty.
The Judge however, did not go the length of
our New York Judiciary, who will not permit a
man to be sworn who "has formed or expressed
an opinion" In the District Of Columbia it
seems an opinion may be formed by juror with
out disqualifying him, if he has formed it on a
mere "rumor;" but if he has formed it on ia
knowledge of the facts" then he is disqualified.
Thus do lawyers and judges differ and draw hair
splitting distinctions "between tweedledum and
tweedIedee."
To day, it is to be presumed the remainder Of
The jury will be obtained and then the testimony
will he proceeded with, when we shall see what
course the trial will take-whether it will be
very short or very long and very ex-
citing-whether the Court will permit
the provocation to the homicide to be given in
evidence as justification, at least paliation,
Of the offence charged-and whether the antece-
dents of the accused and the deceased will be-
come the subject of testimony and investigation.
If the antecedents Of the living are inquired into
on one side, the antecedents Of the dead must be
inquired into on the other, and this will involve
long trial and travelling out Of the record
| Such an inquiry has nothing whatever to do with
the case, which ought to be decided on its own
merits. That Scklcs killed Key there can be no
| doubt that Key was guilty of criminal CONVEX
sation with the wife of Sckles is equally certain.
! The question is whether the Court will admit the
latter fact in evidence justification of the for
mer, OF If not, whether the jury will assume the
responsibility of taking into account the provo
cation offered in testimony, though not received
by the Court. Much may depend on the poin
whether there was any generalization, or whether
Mr.. Sickles was suddenly melted to the deed BY
the sight Of the destroyer Of his happiness
making signals, as is alleged to his lost ant
ruined wife. The counsel, like skilfnl generals
do not disclose their plan of battle beforehand
up in the course Of this novel, which, take it al
in oil, is without precedent in the annals o
our criminal jurisprudence.
