The killing of Key by Sickles still oceupies, and will for a long time occupy, a large portion ef the press. The N. Y. Courier speaks of Key's guilt as ‘‘enormous,”’ and “treacherous,” and wholly without extenuation, hardly capable of “greater baseness,”’ and of Sickles it says, that bis crime was one against Christianity, law and society. We quote: Mr. Sickles did precisely that which a ® Bioux or 2 Pawnee would have done ander -imilar cireumstances. It isa pity he could not have risen to » higher level. An old sage well snid. -- By taking revenge, a man is but even with his enemy; Bat in passing it over, he is superior. We make no representations respecting the private character of Mr. Sickles, but we do ~~ wrintain that the community which he has ~mpved bas an entire right to inquire whether : himself has respected conjugal ties. Meannot hope to escape this inquisition » record ts clear. there is no danger that he will not find sympathy enough; if. on the other hand. it isfound stained with similar wicked- ness, he ought to be. and will be judged with rigor. True, bad men have their rights; but this is a question, not of justice, but of grace Is Mr. Sickle« to be absolved of what on its face was acrime’ What personal recommen- dation has he for such clemency’? Public opinion is apt to be somewhat strict apon sach matters. pis, after all. a sense of equity in the human heart—a feeling very different from revenge—that feels no grief 2) Oo it sees Even-handed justice Commend the ingredients of our poison’d chalice To our own lips The injaries in this affair are not merely of a private character. § itself has suffered A grievous wound. [tis adisgrace to the civili- zation and Christianity of the country, that sach hideous abominations should high life of its metropolis. The Tribune takes the same view of the past history of the chief actor in the homicide as the Courier. We quote : “Tf Mr. Sickles’s past career. especially with reference to female purity and the sanctitics of wedded life. has been pure and exemplary, then his deeds of blood will justly wear a more excusable aspect than in the opposite case. If, eu the centrary, he has been systematically reckless of those sanctities—if that wife has seen in her connection with him very much to mislead and corrupt, little to admonish and re- ctrain her from the reckless indulgence of pas- cion—why, then, the case is bravely altered, and the claim to immunity and sympathy set > in his behalf has not a leg to stand upon We disclaim all knowledge, we withhold our judgment in the premises, but we insist that the justification attempted to be set up shall he complete and untainted. or it will not serve its intended purpose.”* [From the Albany Atias.] Since hix marriage Mr. Sickles displayed not merely affection. but devotion to his wife; and his owa life seemed to have been elevated in tone, and in its aspirations, by the relations of hasband and parent. We can measure the agony of the pang he has been forced to feel, by the extremity of his revenge. But while we say this. which seems like an extenuation for his ect. we feel compelled to that we have no toleration for that false e of Honor which records its judgments and executes them, as it has, in this case. done. [Frem the Correspondence of the N.Y. Courier ] The tragedy at Washington has been in all 3 to-day. Beyond all the other features of this case is that terrible truth, that where a man of fine ici An had, without own, run the tremendous power under his control over a human being. The body was removed from the rail, death had done this dread work, examination was made ef the circumstances, and the engineer nit- ted. the homicide was not in him. Yet, a little while afterward, that engineer came to the su- perintendent and asked to resign his place, he could not endure it any longer. “Why do you go?” said the Superintend- ent— one blames you.” “Ab.” said he, “Ist go. Every night I amon the road. J see that man standing be- Sore the eugine! (From the Albany Evening Statesman] The carcer of the individ | who so pompously enacts the character of the *- iujared husband” in this estic turmoil, is familiar to our citi- zens, as indeed it is known to the people of the entire State. He bas a reputation for every- thing dt integrity. honor, morality and man hoed. If there is a moral vice with which be ts not conversant—practically familiar—we think it must be indeed modern. Those who are familiar with the libertine career which first gave him possession of the unfortunate woman whom he calls wife, will not be surprised at the /evovement of bis married life. How che evuld so long preserve her purity through euch an example is matter for conj an & misfortune which ordinarily commands for a man s injured the «ympathy of every human creature, he seems less entitled to the consola- tion to be derived from the condolence of his fellow citizens than any man we ever knew We can recollect no one uet of his life that should bring him even the well-wishes of any mortal . 3 me s ago—we think about six—he married his wife. then a young, volatile, way- ward girl, but already. if common rumor be trae, hiding her shame in a tardy marriage (From the New York News] For ourselves, we cannot but sympathise with him. Though homicide cannot be justified under any cireumstances—nor do we justify it in this case—yct there are oecasions when the i paramount to every con- uel the best of us are bur- ried into acts which judgment would at other times revolt at. Mr. Sickles has ability and many good traits of character; and we hope he may be able to recover from this lamentable aftir, and yet become a useful member of so- ciety. * * * * * The friends of Mr. Sickles have advised him to waive the preliminary examination before the emnmitting magistrate, and thus avoid « repetition of the details of the ubhappy causes which led to the melancholy affair. The e dence will go to the Grand Jury direct. and the ewe will be tried at the March term of the ug at anearly day.

If they should be. we apprehend that the cen- sus at hand would show a seriously diminished population in the Federal City. [From the Correspondence of the N. ¥. Express.] Wasuixcros, Lape Ist. ‘ It is gratifying to the really good citizens o! Wadiarta that public opinion in New York condemns Mr. Sickles for his recent act. So it does here—that portion of the public excepted which hangs about the bar-ruoms and the gam- bling houses, and which naturally regards the murder of a fellow-being as a pleasant little excitement. t The conduct of Mr. Butterworth in this tra- gedy is-severely censured. Why did he not interfere to prevent this murder’? Why did he engage Mr. Key in conversation until Mr Sickles came up? (From the N.Y. Journal of Commerce.} We have already recorded the sad and eick- ening oceurrences at Washington, which have resulted in the destruction of family peace and happines, the death of a public officer of prominence and distinction, and the inearcera- tion of one of the members of Congress from this city in prison. charged with a heinous crime. The whole affair, from first to last, is deplora- ble, but wedo not deem it proper to express any opinion upon the relative guilt of the par- ties, pending the judicial investigation. Of moral guilt there 1s a crushing load resting upon all parties. (From the Philadelphia Press.] There were few who possessed, in a more ex- traordinary degree, the graces alike of imtel- lect and person than poor Key. He was uni- versally beloved, and was an especial favori in fashionable eireles. Since the death of bi wife bis health bas been very much impaired. and his spirits greatly depressed It is but just to say that the intimacy be- tween Mr. Key and Mre. Sickles had been re- marked in Washington circles fur a year past and had been the occasion of more than one disrgreement in the families of the parties During the last Congress, notes passed be- tween Mr. Key and Mr. Sickles on the sub j which were followed by a complete recon- ciliation, and Mr. Key visited as usual at the house of Mr. Sickles, having. dined with him at a large party not more than ten days ago. The last time the writer of this article saw Mr. Sickles and Mr. Key together. was some ten or twelve days ago, at the residence of the former, the lady herself being present, with other company. No event that has happened in this country for many years will occasion more wide-spread excitement. The youth of the parties, the beauty and popularity of Mrs. Sickles, the numerous connections, and personal, of the pitactpal actors, and the fearful lesson which the whole circumstances of this case mast give to society, will form the subject of comment for years to come. Mr. diekles is proverbially cool and collected, not apt to be moved by sudden passion, and is of a generous and confiding nature, devotedly at- tached to his friends and ready to serve them at any sacrifice. (From the Pennsylvania inquirer.) Tn this case it does not become us, until the evidence is fully presented, to comment upon the determined slaughter of a human being further than to expres: that there can be no provocation which can obviate our deploring an act so dreadful and deadly, and so caleulated to add to those exampl awlessness and in- dividaal revenge which, from time to time. have been exhibited in various parts of the country, as if in defiance of law and above the administration of justice. The whole world will soon be aroused by the reports of this un- happy deed, and it will furnish more, perhaps. than any similar event in our history, another seeming proof of the manner in which men sometimes, under our institutions, run the risk of any and every tribunal to take the law into their own hands. If the telegraphic report be correct in announcing the Chie facts in the case, it will be dificult to palliate acrime vo monstrous in its features. [To BE conTINUED.] e Se DISCOVERY OF na VAULTS 10. The following letter. which we find in the Cincinnati Enquirer, presents some interesting facts, if reliable, well worthy of investigation : To the Editor of the Enquirer: Jackson, O., Feb. 21, 1859. Our village is full of wonder and excitement. Martin Marker, J. W. Hughes, and Washington Long. in digging a grave in the cemetery near this village, about tem o'clock this morning. came to als rge flat stone about four feet below the surface. which stopped their further pro- gress until they procured assistance, and re- moved the stone from its resting-place of ages, when it was found to have closed the entrance to a subterranean It. All efforts thus far (three p. m.) to enter it with alight have proved unsuccessful. on account of the foul air with which it is filled. By means of a rake, human bones of gigantic size have been raised. and a small chain of silver, with coins attached to ewchend. The coins, though much defaced by time, have the appearance of those ip use among the Romans in the days of Cicero Africanus, though there were evident traces of hiero glyphic devices that cannot be deciphered. The men at the cemetery have, be means of barning straw, made light in the Vault, and theugh none have the courage to venture fur ther than the entrance, it has been discovered that there is immediately to the west of the opening ‘a chawher about ten feet square, with steps quite dilapidated, down its eastern side. Three other chambers branch out of th to the north, one to the west, the south. We are all curious, of course, to know when and by whom these vaults were made and filled. Rev. Mr. Hunter and Mr. Armstron; and Dr. Knouff, have examined them ns wel as they could without going down into them, also the bones raked out, and the chain and cvins, and all give it as their opinion that these vaults were mide by the same people who built the mounds in the southern part of the State. The questions present theinselves to every one: Who made these yanits and filled them? Was our country once the home of giants ? Groner Davesport. P.S.—4} p.m. Wm. Long, after the straw had burnt in the first vault for some time, ven- tured down to make an examination, but the atmosphere was so impure that he could re- main there but a few minutes, though long enough to discover that the walls of the vanlts » substantially builtof smooth, well-shaped stones, and that there were large numbers of bones in them. Persons will arrive here from Sidney and Greenville to-morrow, and every exertion will be made for a thorough examinn- tion of this house of the dead’ ay soon as pos- sible a. ~eweee ty The shouts with which Seulouque was received on landing in Jamaica, were more deri- sive than wrathful. One of the crowd, in an excess of pleasautry, offered a ne; sixpence ifhe would give his imperial majesty a fraternal hug, right there in the street. Stimulated the reward, the African attached a kuot of ribbons to the breast of his coat, and leaped m the atep of the barouche. Soulouque, cheated by the silken rosette, which he thanght the hi of a public functionary, benevolentl ly eabmitted himself to be hugged and kissed. The crowd was thrown into an excess ofdelight by the sucess of this imprudent trick. ue quickly saw that he bad been trified with. and retreated inty the farthest corner of his carriage, swearing furiously. ‘ waLUMRI 5 EA NG fo 10-tr Opposite Centre Marke LUMBING GAS AND STEAM FITTING | -* <= Pi all its various branches neatly promptly UFFALO ROBES!
