Jesurun and the proceeds divi ded among Baez and his partisans is the question which is now on the tapis A short time before the fall of the government' of Cibao there arrived at the capital of Santiago by way of Puerto Plata a gentleman named John Cristmas a Chevalier of the Order of Danebrog claiming indemnity for the injuries and losses which the subjects of his Majesty the King of Denmark had suffered during the civil war but as it appeared that this gentleman had not plenary powers from competent authority to authorize the character which be represented but only from the Governor of Santa Cruz (a Danish island) the government of that period believed it to be its duty conforming in this decision with the right of nations in similar cases to inform Mr Crist mas that fur the time being it cuuld notenter into communications with him seeing that be bad uot full powers from his sovereign to the effect that it would be necessary to provide himself with them iu due form and that then it would have no hesitation in giviug him all the explanayons which he might desire so as to place ou a new footing tho friendly relations which existed be tween both States Mr Cristmas could do uo less than appreciate the observation alluded to He left for St Thomas and now which is little more than a month we have him returning on board the Danish steamer Heimdal ou the same mission The government of the republic proceeding with that justice and good faith which a just cause inspires conferred full powers on Mr Delmonte Vice President of the Senatus Con sultum that he might arrange with the plenipo tentiary of the King of Denmark the difference existing between the two nations But as the private instructions of Mr Cristmas appear to be extremely limited he has refused to accept the nomination of Mr Delmonte presenting a thou sand futile objections to the end that he might have a direct understanding with the Dominican Cabinet What is certain is that the

Panama sei can answer the question as Perversion op Justice A short time since we mentioned the arrest of three men for enter ing the house of a man named Clark in the night and beating and abusing himself and his wife biting off a portion of his nose in the operation The case was adjourned from time to time to ena ble the officer to secure all the offenders and meantime a woman connected with some of the gang made complaint against Mrs Clark for ma licious trespass committed in breaking one pane of glass This was done with a view of compel ling herself and her husband to withdraw from the prosecution of the other suit They would not do so and she was put iu jail with two little chil dren where she remained several days and was yesterday allowed to go by the Police Justice on her own recognizance The character of such a proceeding is plain its only intent being to make the law subservient to an evasion of justice The party complained ot swears out a warrant against his prosecutor and then proposes to him to make it an even thing and withdraw both suits It is very much practiced when the Police Justice is out of town and different magistrates can lie ap plied to who are ignorant of the issuing of previ ous warrants between the same parties While he is at home no other magistrate has power to is sue criminal warrants for offences committed within the city limits ight between Two Brothers in a Dance House A light occurred a night or two since in a negro dance house between two brothers named Tom and Jim Slaughter both of whom are well known as not very orderly characters Jim was playing on tho rench born and being perhaps a little fuddled did not perform with his usual proficiency which caused Tom to intimate that he had better dry up or improve in his prac

promiscuously declaring that he would have no rows in his house and meantime making more row than anybody else There were several white girls as witnesses one of whom was well dressed and rather good

Washington April 11 Such ia the anxiety manifested to be present as the trialto day that before the doors opened for the admission of the audience the court room was crowded with persons who had obtained in gress through the window The points which Mr Graham presented for consideration on Saturday were: irst That the government is bound to make out a case That malice was not to be presumed but proved Third How far the adultery was to be con sidered provocation ourth Why such a crime under the old common law was not murder but manslaugh ter ifth Why the extinction of prior legum clerical the slight burning in tho baud which was the punishment in such cases is tantamount to acquittal Sixth Whether the frenzy natural toa husband under circumstances of such a character does not operate to mental unsoundness Those six points were concluded on Saturday The following was the seventh point which coun sei did not discuss but is to consider to day: Seventh Whether viewing the case as one of ungovernable passion as one of resentment pro duced by passion there was a sufficient time for passion to cool and for reason to get the better of his transport of passion and wheth er his subsequent acts were deliberate when the mortal wound was given to tho deceased Judge Crawford took his seat on the bench at 10:20 The Grand Jury panel was called the jury hav ing been instructed to attend to day when the Judge dismissed them till Monday next About twenty minutes alterwards Mr Sickles was conducted into court and took his seat iu the dock some of his counsel and Mr Emmanuel Hart having scats near him The jury having been called aud answered to their names Mr Graham resumed his argument: He said he was fast approaching the close of his present duty If there were no other reasons to admonish him to do so his own exhaustion would be such a reason The interest he felt in the prisoner must be the excuse for the tax he had imposed ou the court and jury He would briefly recapitulate the arguments which he bad submitted He had shown that human law did not reach alt cases of wrong that the omission to provide against this wrong was simply to turn us over to our ow instincts ns regulated by the law of nature He had suggested that us to the relations between husband and wife and parent and child nature had created duties of protection which it was not only criminal to disparage but which we were bound to discharge He had sug gested that an invitation to a friend or neighbor to partake of the hospitality of his house implied an understanding that all lust and unuieantiesa in regard to his wife and daughter would be repressed or banished from the bosom and that to come in tho guise of a friend while at heart a foe constituted an abuse of the license to enter He had also suggested that whether the wife consented away her chasti ty or not as between the husband and adulterer or ravislicr the rights were the same Morally speaking the wife was the property of the husband He had then considered how the Bible and how the common law regarded adulte ry While the Bible made adultery so high a crime it is fair to presume that our minds were framed with corresponding perceptions in other words that when the Almighty had portrayed adultery as so heinous an offence he invested us with that quality of mind which enables us to look upon it in the same heinous light iu which he himself has exhibited it As I understand the law of all reasoning it is this that the power which creates the duty gives the ability to under stand and appreciate it Counsel referred to what the Judges had said that jealousy is the highest rage of man and adultery the greatest provocation that can be given to him In regard to the criminality of Mr act counsel un derstood the basis of all accountability to be the possession of that amount of reasoning which en ables a man to see the right way and that amount of will which enables him to pursue it The in tention or will is the principle which gives life to crime rate this Hcto though in this ease a human being was slain nev ertheless there was not that will or intention on the part of the slayer which rendered him amena ble to criminal justice It was no matter how the unsoundness of mind was produced provided it was produced Mr Sickles was not a party to tho origin of the provocation which acted upon him He stood entirely clear of the conduct of the adulterer He had never connived at it and the first intimation he had got of it was the ruling motive which induced him to commit the act for which he was now arraigned Counsel had shown that whenever mental soundness was upset the question for the jury was whether the cause which produced mental unsoundneas was suffi cient to produce it This question had been al ready before the learned Judge on the bench He referred to Judge directions to the jury in the case of the United States against John Day There the defendant was charged with slay ing bis wife The defence set up a plea of insanity the case being the mortification of the prisoner at a child lining born to him within three months af ter his marriage The Judge ruled that if from the evidence the jury found the fact as to the birth of the child aud as to the fact of the pris oner's mind becoming diseased thereby that it was unsound and increased in intensity till his mind became diseased thereby ana in such par oxysms of rage that his power of distinguishing was destroyed or superseded and he committed tho act with which he stood charged he was not guilty of murder in other words the shame acted upon him to that extent to render his mind dis eased he was not guilty of murder Shame was only one of the elements crowding Mr mind That was the law which the defence in tended to enforce on this jury Counsel also re ferred to his ruling on the second trial of Day when the Judge submitted the same propo sitions to the jury Tho jury would perceive that the shame of having a child born to a man under such circumstances could not compare with the mortification aud shame of having a wife deflowered The Judge then ruled that if from any predisposing causes such a state of mind was produced the prisoner was not responsible for his act The counsel also referred to the decision in the case of Jarboe who was charged with murder in slaying the seducer of bis sister Infuriated by the conduct of the seducer this brother slew him upon the spot The learned Judge then said that the statement of facts made a case of murder but the state of the prisoner's mind at the time was a matter for the oonsideration of the jury Under that instruc tion the jury held that the brother was excused Counsel asked if a brother who voluntarily as sumed to redress the wrong of his sister stands excused by the verdict of a jury from the conse quences of his act because the provocation was too much for him to bear by what principle could a difference be indulged or a distinction drawn in the case of a busband interceding to avenge the outrage on his marriage relation? The ques tion for the jury was how far in the commission inu ucieuuaun coincided with the tests You said coun men You can answer it as husbands and fathers We need no books here to tall you with what affection the human mind is endowed that is a matter which can be as well passed upon in the verdict you may render in your own innate feelings aa it can be passed upon by you after any enlighten ment I might be able to throw upon It is for you to say what must have been the feel ings of Mr Sickles at the time he encountered Mr Key under the circumstances leading to his death because remember this there was no de liberation on the part of Mr Sicklesin meeting Mr Key If Mr Sickles had thrown out a bait if he had invited Mr Key to that vicinity in or der that he might go forth from his mansion arm ed as he was represented to be by the learned connsei for the prosecution to the end that he might slay him then there might be a feature in the case which might appeal to us but there ie no such feature here Mr Key was in the neigh borhood of Ml mansion following the Squabble of London Literati CorcMpoiulsnee ot the Herald London March 19 The literati of this metropolis are at the pres ent

Col Bond ot IHacoi: Ua The Columbus 'Times of March I1 th has the fidlowing particulars of the encounter between Colonel Joseph Bond of Macon and Lucius Brown of Dougherty county Ga which resulted iu the death of Colonel Bond The 'limes obtained the account from a gentleman who visited the scene of the homicide after its uccurrenge: It appears that Mr Brown was employed by Colonel Bond us an overseer upon one of his plantations in Dougherty county during ihe year 1858 and was discharged from his service by the latter on account of objectionable aud improper conduct The circumstances under which his discharge was considered necessary were thought by Colonel Bond sufficient to justify his refusal to Mr Brown to visit his plantation or to have anything to do with bis negroes A day or two before tho fatal meeting a boy belonging to Colonel Bond stopped at the black smith shop of Mr Jerry Beall to get a drink of water While there Mr Brown who was the over seer for this year for Mr Beall came up and imide an attack upou the negro The boy alter receiv ing a severe whipping and utter making one or more ineffectual efforts to get away finally suc ceeded in obtaining protection from Mrs Beall Brown desisted from his castigation of the negro aud the latter went home to his master aud made complaint of the above treatment the morning of the 12th inst Colonel Bond rode over to Mr Beall's a plantation ad joining his own to inquire into the matter He entered the field in which he was informed that Mr Beall was but before seeing him be was met by Mr Brown who was also on horseback A conversation in relation to the difficulty with the negro ensued This naturally led to insulting language which Colonel Bond resented with several blows from a cane hich he held in his hand In a moment both parlies were upon the ground grappling with each other During the conflict Mr Brown drew a pistol and presenting it to the breast of Colonel Bond the bail taking effect in tne lower part oi the right lueast passing through the body and out of the Made of the left shoulder Colonel Bond fainting under the effect of the wound staggered back against the fence and drawing a reyolver fired two ran dorn shots at his antagonist The latter fled without receiving further dam age than the wounds inflicted by the cane He was pursued arrested aud at the date of the latest information was in custody of the proper officers awaiting trial for commitment Colonel Bond lived but a very few minutes afier receiving the pistol shot wound Bond was a man of large wealth gen erous

ingenious but dishonest person named Joseph McKinney who liaa not been retaken though several ot his companions were captured He went to Cincinnati whence he wrote to the Day ton jailer an affectionate letter of remembrance and confidence and sent his love to the people of the city he was obliged to quit Since then nothing was heard of him until he turned up in New Madison Indiana where he had been delighting large and fashionable audiences by lecturing on his Travels in the Holy He so thorough ly gammoned the innocent people of New Madi son that he was invited by the professors of the college to repeat his lectures before their stu dents Unfortunately a minion of the law was looking out for the Oriental traveler and he was obliged to conclude his course of lectures rather precipitately in order to escape Sale of a Wife The Georgetown (Del Mes senger says that some time last week the wife of a mau in Dagsborough Hundred left her husband and with a young man took up her residence iu Millsboro The hueband made bis appearance one day and the two men proceeded irom the house and sat down upon a log and calmly talked the matter over regarding it in all its bearings The result of the conference was that the youug man who was in possession of the wife agreed to give the lawful but injured ami forsaken husband the sum of seven dollars and a dog tor bis wife!

Louisa Chamberlain in one of the border towns of Indiana His suit bad been well receiv ed by the young lady and they were engaged to be married but the father of his affianced inter posed his

her dear ly beloved but more than all the fear that absence might drive her image from his heart was too much for the fair Louisa She took a younger brother into her confideace and poured into his sympathetic ear the story of her grief There was a dash of romance in that younger brother and said he Louisa run meet Sam marry him and the devil take the On that hint she spake That indeed she had

the prosecution the very murderous charac ter which they have tried to impart to shows most completely what was the state of mind which prompted him to the commission of the act This is a speaking fact Mr Sickles encountered Mr Key without any expectation whatever He met him as casually as though he had met the veriest stranger and the very ferocity with which the witnesses say he went at Mr and slew him is indicative of the irresistible impulses which drove him on and against which it was impossi ble to oppose any restraint There is nothing like deliberation in the case The ferocity of
