We believe yesterday was the day assigned
for the taking up Of this case, and the New
York Eoenino Post says that tho legal conr.e
pursued will be as follows:
The District Attorney will, most unques-
tionably, after indictments found, prove the
killing Of Mr.. Key by Mr.. Sickles, and then
rest bis case. This is ell he has to do in the
first instance. The defence, if any, must be
on the grounds Of a justifable homicide. 1t
10 very doubtful. however, whether any evil
dence Of this character can be admitted; but
If it 10, it must open oil the circumstances At
tending the illicit connection, and subject the
witnesses TO rigid cross-examination. 1t
will then be the course Of the prosecution to
entsr also into the private character Of the
defendant, TO over throw the plea Of jussif-
cation. Should the trial take the latter form.
il will be 4 long, complicated, and not edify-
ing agar.

Neighbor Tsesdale, Of the Des Moines Cit
isss, visited Keokuk, short time since, fol
the Arst time. In his home correspondents
he speaks freely Of the town, and favorably,
= will DO seen by the following extract:
Keokuk having been evil spoken Of lately,
our expectations were not very high strung
We confess TO an agreeable surprise, at this,
our first visit. Keokuk has future, that
will more than fulfill oil the expectasions Of
the past. There 10 no use trying to blink this
fact. Her position at the head of the Rapids
and the terminus Of the Des Moines Valley
is destined to secure for her place in the
very front rank of Western cities, Of the sec.

A Day OF Fasting.

As will be seen, the Governor has appoint
ed day of Public Fasting, Humiliation and
Prayer. Numerous requests and petitions
from all denominations of Christians and
from various quarters Of the State have been
forwarded to him, desiring that some day
should be set apart for that purpose, and he
has thought proper to accede to the request.

BUyINEss NOTICE.
mayer sample,s M eesing.


Mr.. Sample having given notice that he
would address the people, on Saturday even
ing last, We went up to the Court House to
hear what might be said. On entering, We
we're surprised to see SO few present, though
this might be accounted for by the fact that
the GArI CrrY had, by mistake, stated that
he would speak on Monday evening. How
ever quite large crowd came in during the
evening. Mr.. Sample opened by giving an
outline Of what he intended to say, which, for
an outline, Was somewhat long. Hewas fol-
lowed by ex-Mayor Taylor, after whom Mr..
Leighton, the Independent candidate for the
Office Of Mayor, being called out made ashert
and pertinent address. Mr.. Sample then re-
piled, and was speaking when we left, about
half the audience having also departed.
We might give reporter an outline re-
port, Of the speeches but as We are not GER
tain that the printing Of such report would
subserve the public interest, We choose to let
it pass. We may remark, however, that Mr..
Sample, among oil the things which he did
say, very ingeniously,-of course not design
eddy !-omitted to say that he was the Dem
ocratic nominee. He was very emphatic in
reminding the audience that many Republic
cans voted for him last year, aknowing that
he was IN unsiring, unainching and perseve-
ring Democrat" But he did not mention
the fact that last year he was not the regu-
la,yr uo-;nst>A nA~c.r.x;o n.ua:d.ko .rd
this year he is. He showed q very marked
anxiety to retain the Republican support
which he had last year, and We have no doubt
his present prospects justify that anxiety
But We submit that it is not very compli-
mentary to those who nominated him to stu
dously ignore their nomination. 1t sounds
strange to hear q Democrat speak for whole
evening, without single appeal to the I'M
terrified.

The rate of descent necessary to produce
q rapid current in a river is very slight. A
fall of ten inches to the mile is sufficient to
to obstruct navigation. 1t is owing to the
the very slight descent in the Mississippi
river that it is navigable to SO great an ex.
tent. We learn from an article in the Jour.
nal OF the Geographical and Statistical So.
ciety, that the rate Of descent in that rive,
below it's junction with the Ohio. il but 2.f
inches to the mile, and from the mouth of the

The Hon. Owen Lovejoy, Of H.. in re-

thus describes party~which is not so strong
in the country Is it onoe was:
"The Slavery Democracy PIRATES and chat
ters about negro equality BLACK Republi-
cans,' and niger stealing to use its elias
sic phrase and improved orthography. II
has, or affects to have, q great horror Of
sniggers.' And any one who advocates the
principles of human Freedom, as they were
enuncisted and laid down in enduring forms
by the Fathers Of the Republic, is q sweolly
head and these same ID Democrats have learn
cd to speak of them with q peculiar nasal
twist You would suppose that these gentle
men, whose olfactories are so sensitive and
acute, never saw q niger, except in men,
agsrie. And yet, would you believe it! the
very FIRST service rendered him on earth is
performed by q niger; as an infant, he
draws the milk which makes his- Resh and
blood and bones from the breast OF niger J;
looks up in her face and smiles, and calls
her BY the endearing name of NANNY and
begs, perhaps, in piteous tones, for the priv
ilese of carrying nanny to the Territories !;
he is undressed and put to bed by q niger,
and nestles during the slumbers Of it's infan
cy in the bosom Of . niger; he is washed,
dressed and taken to the table by niger,
to eat food prepared by a niger; he is led
to and from school by niger; every ser
vice that childhood demands is performed by
a niger, except that of chastisement, which,
from the absence Of good manners in many
cases, it is feared is not performed at ALL
When down appears on his lip, the tonsorial
service is performed by niger and when
he reaches manhood, he invades the niger
quarters, to place himself in the endearing
relation Of paternity to half niggers. Final
~, if he should be ambitious, it may occur
that he will come to Congress to represent a
constituency, three-iifths of whom are mig
gers, and talk about 'Black Republicans,
'amalgamation,' 'nigger equality 'nigger
stealing, and the offensive odor Of niger
