VOLUME XI.-NUMBER 1671. CHARLESTON, WEDNESDAY" MORNING, MAY 3, 1871. EIGHT DOLLARS A YEAR. TBiE STRANGE STOBT OE TSE EARL ' WBZO TUBKBD SAILOR Thc Tendency to React from High Civilization, [From the London Saturday Bevtew.] The law courts are running the novelists hard, and the romanee of real life threaten? to | oasttnto the shade thejmost thrllllrfg sensa-; tions of Mr. Mudie'a purveyors. While Lord Chief Jus lice Bo viii and his patient Jury are engaged in their interminable inquiry aa to whether Boger DojBghty Tichborne, supposed to have been drowned at sea seventeen years ago, bas survived-in Tom Castro, the horse breaker ol Dargo in the Australian bush, one of the Scotch sheriffs has been very busy with a somewhat similar question as lo the Identity o?, George H. Osborne," second mate of the Hera, from Boston to Melbourne, who waa washed overboard in January, 1870, and George .Hamilton Gordon, sixth Earl of Aberdeen, whOoC family iiad lost ail trace ot htm some time previously. It *a striking and very creditable proof of the Sclpllne of the English press, that as regards the Tichborne case it bas been content simply to report the proceedings, and has scrupu? lously abstained from alllurthex reference taa -question which" ls probably uppermost in tie minds ot most of the readers of newspapers, which everybody is talking, about with the ut? most freedom in private society, and which is -.every day the subject ol innumerable rumors, comments and conjectures of the most extra? ordinary character. In the Aberdeen case, however, the same reasons foi' reticence do not-exist, for .lt bas practically, though not formally, been decided, and there ar? no hos (fm tile interests at Issue in regard to it. The i " story of the young. Earl ls very curious and | romantic, and bas, perhaps, something more tuan a mere personal interest. What physiol? ogists tell us of the difficulty of keeping up? highly cultivated breed, and the constant ten? dency it displays to return in .one respect or anoiher to its primitive wildness, is also in ?some degree applicable- to society. In -every highly civilised community there" -may be observed a . Bimiiar tendency to revolt from tbe artificial developments and refined tameness which mark the .social condition. There ls a vague' lons Xor tbe rude simplicities ol Ufo when "wild in ! woods tbe noble savage ran," or when at least, the limitations, of personal freedom were less ?oppressive than they are now, and there was more room in the world for the swing and play of Individual character. lu most ot 08 ibis remains a mere sentiment, but in some .cases lt breaks ont in startling eccentricities which puzzle many worthy people very much. I There was -evidently some influence of this kind at work on young Aberdeen, when he suddenly threw up bis name and rank and plunged as a common sailor, under an assum? ed name, into the dirty drudger,, and obscure -companionship of a seafaring.career. When this happened be was twenty-five years of age, &ad just succeeded his father In tbe title and estates, and had, as lt seemed, every promise Of a happy and" distinguished career. He bad shown good parts in bis college course at St- Andrew's, though bis tastes led bim rather! towards a thieu o - exercises. He. was one ol the' .best rifle shots in the country, and could- bring dowe his stag with the best ot them. He wes on good terms with bis family; and deeply at? tached to t?s mother. Au alert, resolute, thoughtful youth, with something both of bis. grand lather's still reserve and liard-"headeti -common sense, mingled with his lather's ear? nestness and tenderness of character, regard? ed hopefully by bis elders and pre-eminent in those exercises which saltee bis age and posi? tion and made bim popular with bis com-, " panions, be seemed to start in the race with no -ordinary advantages. But tbe race was not to his mind, and he turned away from it. On h ls V father's death bis own health bad shown some signs of delicacy, and be resolved te travel. Accompanying two friends, Lord Gosford and 'Mr. Peterkln, to America, be parted with them at Boston In the spring of 1866, and was never atterwardsfeen by any ono who Knew him by' his real name. Hs dropped his title, chose a. pseudonym, and seems to nave been adopted at once and Without challenge into the nauti? cal society cf Boston. . :. Asa occasional scrap o? letter to bis mother alone test lied to his existence, and gave a j hlut ol his ei-Tatio movements. In October he . hl(d come back to Boston Iron) a voyage, and found himself much stronger alter vthe long spell or warm weather and sea-air,'* but not disposed then just to risk a return to the bleak English winter. Besides be bad become enamored of the sod ai liberty he enjoyed, and could hot "bear to leave that "land of freed qm and common-sense." He had bad an Invitation from some missionaries to join them In an ex? pedition lo Honolulu and tbe Friendly Islands, and thought of accepting lt - A -few months . later he gave a spasmodically vivid account o? ?s life at sea, showing great zest for all the' little adventures ot the voyage, >kI never told you," he wrote, "my adventures on the Aui oan voyage, or about loading salt In the West Indies, or about the mysterious man, or uno u t tbe wounded cook turned sailor, or the t.mor? ons mate, or the mate In fits calling on . bis - mother, or 'abbot the cook drank, a Frenchman crying, the r^cond mate bullying, or about the captain drunk, the mate three quarters drunk, the second mate green, and the ship running on George's Shoal, and icing sav?d by the undersigned, who was not drunk; about the talking parrot overboard, saved, saved, saved-about the honest soldier-about the happy island, the Arcadia of the Atlantic about the French, cook-good times now for the shell backs, plenty to eat, and good at that -or lA s ?ark, a shark f pork tibe hook-h e ls caught, haul'him aboard; fian ti o terror of the garrot-he tries to commit, suicide-the shark i killed-shark steaks for break!?et; or about the undersigned sick with cholera; he gets well; he gets his toe crashed; be knocks off at 6.30 P.M., he turns-to again at 6 A. IL next day-Spanish pilots," and much more In tba .same strain. Alter a time all letters ceased; his family na? turally became anxious, and bis former tutor, .the Rev. W.H. Alexander,'was aispatched to America to search for him. While thus en? gaged. Ur. Alexander, in 1870, heard of the ? less of one "George H. Osborne," second mate of the Hera, who was washed overboard and . .drowned in mid-ocean,- and who, it was thought, might prove to be the young man be ?was seeking. The evidence laid before one of | the Scotch sheriffs to show the identity ol George Osborne and "Lord Aberdeen seems to . be sufficiently conclusive, though sprue further i information in minor points has yet, for the sake of legal completeness, to be adduced. American photographs of the mate tally with English photographs of the Earl, and Lady Aberdeen has "recognised them-ali as without .??bt portraits of her deceased son." Osborne : and the Earl were alike capital rifle shots-, and the Earl's rifle, (Identified by the maker.) was proved to have been sold by Osborne lb a man at Richmond In the Baited States. A pecu? liarity of gait was noticed In each, and they both, displayed a conspicuous "loudness for the sea, mechanic, mathematica, pictures, - drawing and mu wc." Further, Uwy resembled each other lu a liking for children, in strict moral conduct, and regular attention to reli? gious duties;. The handwriting of-Osborne's account?. Journals, and other memoranda re? lating to the Hera ls the ?ameas thai of the earl's leiten*, and -Hie captain er the Hera pro? duced a song in this handwriting, called "The Rainy Day," which Lady Aberdeen had . often sung to her son, and which was a great favor? ite ot his. The chain of evidence has thus been put together link by link, and the sherill j might probably have given nia decision at j once had it not been for a natural desire to make the records of Identity so absolutely complete aud conclusive that there should-be no possibility ot any question being raised on the subject hereafter, or any strange claimant irom beyond the seas putting for? ward pretensions to the earldom and estates. When Lord Aberdeen, dropping his title, first entered nautical B?clety at Boston, as "George H. Osborne," be bad probably no sealed plan of any kind, beyond that of shak? ing himself free for a time from existing asso? ciations and tfylog what he could make ot life on his own personal merits and by his own exertion. He soon picked np a knowledge ot navigation, which he improved on board ship. I In tbe African voyage be seems to have J taken service as a seaman, Judulug from a passage in one of his letters describing a trick . by which he procured release-from a distaste? ful ts ck-"underpinned painting yards-tired and hot, lets bucket tall-covers clean white boat with paint-spatters captain over with ?.Int-captain- swears-mate, runs-under? signed mes to look serious-gets soap and water and deans boat-no more painting for ur-.lereigned-Just what he .wanted.'' In Feb? ruary, 1867, be had gone as a passenger in a brig to Galveston; but during the voyage vol? unteered to act ash sailor, and showed great knowledge or navigation. The passion for an active, roving Hie grew upon him as he in? dulged ic, while Berri oe on board ship pre? sented new charms as he became more skilled .In bis work. ,. " ? u* . As might be expected. Lord Aberdeen's ro? mantic story has excited a good des,! ot' vulgar amazement That a young nobleman, who might have had afine house, good dinners, the best ot hunting and shooting, "warm cor? nera" wherever ne went, servants to walt on him and toadies to flatter-who might any day have married a pretty girl, picked from a| score, with another fortune to add to his own, should renounce, all the pleasures and advan? tages of such a position, and start for himself, unknown and unbefrlended, as a common sailor belore the mast, lu a dirty Yankoe trad? ing bark, seems to some people so utterly In? explicable that lt must be set down as sheer insanity. Certainly the life ot oar young aris? tocrats, who are described so rapturously by i Mr. Disraeli as living constantly Ju the open ?air, never reading, and speaking only one language, their own, ls i n many ways a very pleasant one; but Its full enjoyment is reserv? ed for those who have no conception ol any? thing beyond, and who give themselves op'to | lt with ? serene simplicity which knows. no doubt or afterthought, if any scruples begla to insinuate themselves, If the faint? est question arises #hether, after all, amuse ment is the sole*duty of man and the proper ! and sufficient fulfilment of existence, the [ charm ls broken. It is certainly possible to conceive a young fellow-oppressed with a bur? den of physical energy which be finds lt diffi? cult to work off so as to satisfy any theory of I usetul service lathis world. Field sports begin [ and ead with sport. As relaxation for a mau who eau show a good set-off of other! work they are all very well, but they will hard? ly bear reflection as In themselves. ?he te-all and end-all of existence. The destructive pro-1 ppjislties so bitterly satirized in the saying ? ?.What a floe day, let us go and kill some? thing," have not been reduced to a system in? volving the smallest conceivable amount of skill and trouble. There Is a fantastic cruelty In the fopperies of Hurl Ingham, where our golden youth, In kid gloyes and with cigar in mouth, beguile the summer afternoons with killing pigeons to the exhilarating strains of the Guards'band,.tinder the eyes of beaut and sustained by frequent draughts of 'gin j and seltzer. Che best excuse- for tb wretched travesty ot sport ls, perhaps, the inanity of Its votaries. It ls easy to under? stand a young fellow ot spirit revolting against the effeminate slaughter bf helpless and be? wildered birds; bat even the more manly .en? terprises ot the chase would* fall to satisfy a craving for.real useful work, with a definite objecubeyond that of mere amusement and some direct practical results. A yoong lord casting about for employment In the service of humanity might, Indeed, to.uow the example of one distinguished member of his order, and become aa amateur flremao, or Join another in chasse huz gueux. But the'd-dd of activity is limited, and it ls aot easy to strike out a new line. A born legislator, lt may be said, should j have no difficulty in finding appropriate occu? pation, slnoe he can introduce bills and make speeches and condemn the poor Lord Chan? cellor td aa over-done dinner nay Dight he pleases; but labors lise these are too barrea to have much relish, hod besides lt ls physical rather than mental employment of which a young noble ls usually most la want, and for which, indeed, lt must be said he is. by previous training usually best fitted. Ia another age he could have buckled on his armor and slashed about bim to his heart's content on behalt bf distressed virgins aud other objects of compassion. But nowadays there is. hardly- aoy outlet for Importunate physical energies', except In sport; and sport," la Its very nature, pails after a timo on a j thoughtful, earnest nature, li too exclusively pursued. It ls probable that something of this kind happened to Lord Aberdeen, and many another young maa In similar circumstances perhaps envies the mechanic ore veu the navvy his honest hard day's work, with the legitimate satisfaction which attends lt. In Germany the old tradition of bringing ap every youth, no matter of what raak?' to some handicraft, is. still maintained, the Emperor belog, we be? lieve, a printer, and th? Crown P ri nee having I also his trade; and even as a formality the practice might perhaps be introduced with ad? vantage in other countries. The longing for a* simple life of direct physical activity is a natu? ral reaction from the restraints and perplexi? ties ot a complex, highly elaborated social system. _ _ A N?W RAILROAD WAR.

CB 5 THB STORAGE OP COTTON.--The Cdtton Ex? change has for a fons time desired to concen tr?te as much as possible of the cotton In tbls city ia one warehouse, and yesterday after? noon a Bpeclal commute visited the Atlantic Docks and Inspected the different stores. The president of the Dock Company, J. s. T. Stran ahan, has at present available storage cover? ing two .acres and a half, capable of storing thirty-five thousand bales of cotton, and the company proposes to build additional stores, covering seven acres, capable of accommodat? ing ooe hundred thousand bales, aad to lease the premises to the Cotton Exchange. It is claimed that the advantages to be gained by tlie concentration ot .cotton io one place are, first, the prevention of Waste and theft: seo-1 ondly, diminution ot expense, especially in In? surance; and thirdly, the facility of transact? ing- business by telegraph, thronen an agent, without visiting tbe store. Since the 1st of] September, 1870, there have been received in New. York 1,033.000 bales of cotton.

[FROH OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] 1 Nsw YORK,-July 22. : The war on Governor Hoffman continues. ; Not only in the Irish quarter in New York, but also lu Brooklyn, the police have cut down effigies of his Excellency, which was lound s wincing from very elevated housetops. At the funerals pf the doters killed on the 12th; the rancor of the m on mem has found expression in the most fearful threats against the life of the Governor. Another j strikingevidence ot this feeling was exhibited lu a raid made upon the headquarters of th? Tammany Hall general committee, In the Eighteenth Ward, by a gang of roughs, who smashed all the globes surrounding the gas fixtures which had portraits of Hoffman painted upon them. The extreme virulence of a portion of the population against the Governor seems to be provoking the other class to express their sympathy for ulm. The Evening Post (Republican) publishes a leader lu which lt takes back all the hard things lt. has said of Hoffman, and predicts that, If he ls to be ostracised by Tammany and Its follow? ers Cor whist he did on the 12th of July, he will be taken -up by the people and. whirled into the Presidency?. . ? "-. -> We have the. sequel to the riot in the shape of numerous official-reports .'from the generals and colonels ot militia engaged In the battle of the Eighth avenue. Each commandant ap? pears to be anxious to give a variety of rea? sons why he found" it necessary to fire on the crowds. It ls agreed that the general orders from headquarters were to fire without speci? fic orders Incase of attack. The number of dead has now reached fifty. One or two of the wounded drop offUally. . The gallant.COl-. onel Fisk, who was contused lu the ankle by a brickbat, has so far recovered that ne was able to visit the city yesterday and attend to busi? ness at the Erle Ballway office. The colonel has been nursing Ms ankle at his villa, at Long Branch, surrounded by a bevy of sympa thzllng lady friends. He limps a little. The Times appears to have gotten tia muni? cipal ring on the hip. . It was au unfortunate day when the ring refused to stand the Times' black-mail levy any longer. Better to have paid up than to have undergone the terrible raking which that Journal has given- it ever since. Ad long as the ring paid any bill the, Times might'present for prie ting, lt was spoken'ot in terms of kindness, not to say eulogy. Abottt a year ago. Mayor Hall refused tu audit a, bill.of $13,761 36 for alleged print? ing, on the ground that lt was a swindle. From that moment the injured Journal opened its sluices, and a steady scream of billingsgate abuse has ponied on the municipal authorities and all Who have said a good word for them. Even such respectable 'citizens as John Jacob Astor, Moses Taylor and Marshall 0. Roberts, two of them ardent Rep?blica QB, were subject? ed to constant denunciation because they had reported favorably ol an examination of- the comptroller's books. Mayor Hall has been very sensitive to the criticisms of the Times, and bas kept up a* de? fensive ure through the World and.Herald,, and his own paper, the Leader: But he ls now' in a quandary, which it will take' all his Inge? nuity to wriggle out of.- The Times bas been able to buy up- a clerk lu the comptroller's office, who has furnished it with;what pur? ports to be a transcript of the comptroller's books, showing the amounts of monev-paid out during the past two years on account of the county buildings. The statement Is pub? lished in large type, In tbe most conspicuous shape, on the first peg* ot the Times, fresh Instalments being given dally. Borne of the items are startling. They show that during the years 1369 and 1870 a single firm received $6,663,646 for furniture and repairs for the un? finished county courthouse. A liberal allow? ance for all the furniture in the courthouse would be $25.000. Some of the other Items are equally extraordinary. The Times ex? plains the method of manipulating the frauds' as follows : The lurnlture firm ' 13 made of straw; furniture Is bought, but bills are ren? dered tor it at prices fifty times Its real value. The difference between the real and pretended value ls pocketed by the Bing.' ' It is due to Mayor Hall that his response to these damaging charges, which he publishes in to-day's Leader, should be given. He de? nies the correctness of the alleged transcript from the books; denies that any ' money paid' ont for f arni ture, Ac., has been divided be? tween himsell and the comptroller, and as? serts-and this ls his strongest point-that no payments of claims against the county can be made unless they- nave first undergone* a searching scrutiny by the board ot audit or the board of supervisors, some of the members of which are Republicans. He attributes the Times' 'warfare to malice, growing but of his veto of its black-mailing bill a year ago. This expos? on both sides of the controversy ls not calculated to give your readers a very favorable Impression of the morality of New York politicians .and newspaper publishers. I" do not see how the truth of the allegations oh either side can be settled without resort to the courts of law, Th? Tribune very solemly expresses its con? cern at these revelations, hopes they cannot be founded in truth, and advises the mayor and comptroller to sue George Jones and hts as sociales for libel. Probably the mayor and comptroller will do nothing of the sort, unless Mr. Jones ls a reB!dent 0f the State. If he has been smart enough to take up his residence la New Jersey, he has the United States Courts for ultimate protection, but he would stand little chance tn our local courts. The mayor and comptroller, If they liked, could run him through to Sing-Sing on a lightning express. Our virtuous hack men are In a. state ot re? bellion against the city authorities. A new rate of fares has been prepared la the mayor's office, and will be submitted to the aldermen for concurrence. It cuts down prloes, and cuts off opportunities for extortion and rob? bery. The nackmen held an indignation meeting last nlgl t, and appointed a commit? tee to *valt on the mayor and threaten him with their displeasure. They consider the new regulations '.unconstitutional." particu'arly that clause which prevents them from solicit? ing (harassing) passengers. What a relief to travellers it would be If they could land from a steamer or a railway car ia New York and go about their business without running the risk of being torn limb from limb by the hack men lying in wait.

J. H. Christie, of Athene, Georgia, was ex? amined to-day by tlie^Kn-KInx committee. He testified, rn substance, that be knew di no. Ku-KInx organisation-ta his district or in any part of the State. In aaa wer to the inquiry os what facilities he bad-of knowing anything, about lt, he staled he had been twice elected to Congress from that district, and usually at-, tended che courts of the western circuits, -as well as a portion o? those of the northern cir- ! cults; and in response lo Interrogatories, ho stated he belie ved that be was personally ac? quainted with"the' people generally. No more crime was committed now than before the war in his section of the: State. He admitted-: that there had been some violations of law by disguised par-. ties for the purpose o? punishing persons for; living.together in adultery, and foralsation theft, ?c., and stated that lt was the general, opinion In the community that people tooki the law Into their own hands because so many criminals had been pardoned. Another cir? cumstance whloh gave rise to the many exag? gerations In reference cathe so-called Ku-Kiux was the fact that mischievous young men, for purposes of amusement, sometimes wrapped, themselves in sheets and scared th? supersti? tious negroes, some of whom affected to be? lieve they were ghosts of deceased Confede? rate soldiers. These negroes had disguised themselves and whipped a white man in Clarke. County, and there had..been but little , said about it. Another party or disguised negroes had attempted to murder a white man named Hancock, who had been convicted and sen? tenced, but was Biibseqnently pardoned by the Governor. The witness--expressed the opin? ion that Alfred Blclmrdson. bad not been at? tacked on political grounds, and that no ne-1 groes had been intimidated, from voling the Republican ticket, buT^ome had probably been prevented by threats from voting the Democratic ticket. The whole tenor.of his tes? timony was to the t-.ffect that that he believed there was no regular organization la Georgia for the purpose of violating the laws. The ex? amination was long and tedious. A REMARKABLE CASE. Singular Canning of* Ola rd er or-He lu Tracked to Germany, and Brought j Back and Cc T lr t Jd hy C Ire um ita n tlal Kvldence. The Chicago papers are laden with the de? tails of the case of Zelgenmeyer, the Ingenious and well-educated foreigner-who has Just been I convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for Hie fer making away with a disinterested! friend In the moBt genial, masterly and cold? blooded manner. The case of Zelgenmeyer presents some very interesting details. About a yearago, a man named Qumbleton reached Mew York with 18000 In bia pocket. He came direct from the "old country," and, like a prudent man. de-, posited his money with a New York banking Arm. Going to Ballimore soon afterward, he chanced to-make the acquaintance thereof Zelgenmeyer, who had-also : recently arrived In this country. Being, adepts in the same j handicraft,' ana employed In the same office, they -soon became warna friends, and were constantly In each other's company, both, j when at work and at leisure.- With the lin-! gulslve and confiding freedom ol his race,' ambleton lost little time in telling the state of bis finances to his comrade, who, it would seem, from that tkne pursued ia scheme to get possession of the $8000 which, for delloerate and devilish cunning, bas. rarely, if ever, been , surpassed. In No? vember the two friends were.thrown ou[ of employment, and after much consultation Zelgenmeyer persuaded Gumbleton to go with him to Chicago, that city presenting, to the former's. Judgment, the most advantageous opportunities for consummating his plot. To Ghlcago they went, .and there they boarded together until one nluht. when the river re? ceived ihe body of Gumbleton, and Zelgen? meyer returned alone to his boarding house. Stating that bis friend had gone to New York, and that he was about to follow, the crafty . Zeigenmeyer secured the baggage of the murr dered man and moved, not to New York, but to another part of Chicago. He then assumed Gumbleton's name, and under inls dleguise began bargaining with some real estate agents for a farm. This adroit move was taken, as lt afterward, appeared, in order to secure the means of Identification. For his next step was to enclose, a forged endorse? ment of Gumbleton's letter or credit, which he had foundVn the clothing ol the deceased, lo the New York bankers. The check belng sent, the necessary identification was furnished by the real estate agents, a certificate for the money was procured, Gumbleton's. name was again forged In order to secure some baggage of his at the depot, his old.clothing was sold off to a Junk-dealer, and Zelgenmeyer pro? ceeded In triumph to Europe. The body of Gumbleton was found embedded In the Ice In the lake at the foot ot Yan Buren street, in Chicago, In January, and suspicion was thejn attached to Zelgenmeyer. Zeigen meyer was skilfully traced by a Chicago detective to an obscure village at the base of the Hartz moun? tains In Germany, d was arrested and brought back to this-country. ' This very remarkable case was worked out wholly from circumstantial evidence, based upon disjointed facts and fragments of facts, which lt required the most careful and acute study to gather and collate, so admirable had the criminal covered bis tracks. The most Important cine, indeed, was, as it were, stum? bled upon, In the shape of an accouut book of Gumbleton's lound in the junk establishment where Zelgenmeyer had disposed of the'cast? off garments ot his friend. Had it not been for the foolish desire of the murderer to make thus a little more money out of his victim, ll is hardly probably that a conviction could have been secured. As lt is, a new trial ls de? manded, and Zelgenmeyer ls quite hopeful os to its result He finds no faul t with the wit? nesses, but expects, next time, to get "a more intelligent Jury." -In New York, yesterday, a messenger of the National-Bank was knocked down at the corner ot Broadway-and Warren street and nibbed of #fr,000. THE - p&isomp TBE T WE ORT OF'THE DEFENCE. * How the Wittow Wharton Hr?t came to fee Sta ape? tod ot ttae rrln^TJii, Confidence In' Her Innoeence. The Baltimore correspondent of the New York World, wrrtingof the aspecta of tte great Wharton poisoning case, says: TUB THEO ax OF TUE OKVJ9KOS wlll not, In my opinion, be lnsaoicy. Her physician, wnobas Known her for many years. In ans wert ig a question on that snb Ject, did not intimate aty belief in the mental aberration of the 'prisoner. He 'had'seen her under all circumstances-In aictnoaa andr health, in trouble and weighed dowa by. sor? row, but sh? was al wa vs the same calm, digni? fied - woman, nothing emotional or flighty about her. Excitement produced a nervous complaint which, was semi-cataleptic, but nothing wild. "If I were tb grass the theory of the defence of the defendant to the first count of the indictment charging her with J wilfully and maliciously poisoning W. 8. Eetchum, I should say that her counsel would endeavor to show that General Eetchum, through mistake, administered" the poison to himself. He was a singular,' eccentric- per- I son, and inclined to look, with little respect on doctors and their medicines; but, ou the other hand, waa fond ot' j 3 TAJTPKRtSG WTTH DBU08 . I himself. When Dr. Williams called upon bim, at the request o? Mrs. Wharton, he received him gruffly, and the doctor remarked; on coming down stairs, th at he believed'he would not visit bim again unless the general sent for him; The prosecution eau only show that the prisoner bought sixty grains of tartar emetic on the 26th ol June-two days after the gene ral was taken sick. Mrs. Chubb will account for this by stating that she saw. the d?tendant sprinkle a part or It on a mustard-plaster and ] throw.the resUu the slop-basin In lier cham? ber. The druggist o? whom the tartar emetic I was purchased says he was told that lt was J to be used as a cc ut) ter, lr ri tant. In the case of "Mr. Van Ness, that gentleman himself will I assert his unqualified belief In her Inno-ecce of any attempt to poison him, and swears, that the only thing which he received from her hand-the burer--she drank-of herself from the same bottle, lhere are, however, strong] links In the chain of circumstantial evidence j which grapples her to tits terrible crime, and it wm require all the skill And touch lng elo? quence ot her distinguished counsel to eave her from a shameful and Ignominious death.' j THE FIRST SUSPICION. Suspicion, did not at -first attach to Mrs. Wharton herself, but to an humble domestic in her family. It was'Mrs. Wharton's subse-.l quent conduct which turned the current of suspicion against * herself. Two days alter General Ketch urn's burial, Mrs. Wharton went I .to Washington, and, calling upon Charles A. Ketchum, (General Ketchnru's son,). Informed ' bim that she had given his lather $4000 in j government bonds tb keep lor her, and that she was about to go on ' a visit to Europe, and wanted the bonds or the money. Young Mr. Ketchum told her he knew nothing about his*] father's having $4000 rn government bonds be-j longing to her, and referred her to. his uncle. Colonel Brice. She made the same .demand of Colonel Brice, .wno informed her that, If she was depending on any- claim against Gen-!) eral Ketch urn's estate for money, to. take? lt er to Europe, she" had better abandon the trip at once. He'then called'her? at-, tendon to the fact that General Ketch ura's books showed . that she owed him $2000. 'She said that she had paid that debt on the 17th ol January last. On being asked for the note, she said when she paid it G?n?ral Eetchum handed IC to her. and she tore it up. An entry in General Ketch nm'a day-book shows'that Mrs. Wharton paid a half year's Interest on the note January 25. He ls said to have been a most careful man in ail-his business transactions, and kept his accounts' with systematic exactness. June 16 he charges her with another half year's interest-en the note. General Ketchum's clothes remained in I Mrs, Wharton's house tor three days ofter his:] decease. THE PUBLIC SENTIMENT, I BO far as your correspondent ls able to Judge, ls, I believe, decidedly unfavorable to -the prisoner, though there are, of course, many who believe her'innocent; As is usual, the gentler (?) sex are hardest on their, poor un? fortunate sister, and I would give but little hope for her If she waa to be tried by a Jury ol her own sex. i , . V MBS. WHARTON IN PRISON. ; ' j The Baltimore Sun of Saturday says : "His. Wharton has passed her first week of Impris-1 onment In jail, and her condition remains un? changed. She continues to occupy the same cell (No. 167) to which she was originally as? signed, and her daughter Nellie, wno volun? tarily shares her mother's imprisonment, >la also as closely confined tb the same cell. Mrs. A barton's health is about the same. Sbe has not yet had another attack of epilepsy, as an-1 tlclpated; but her llabll ty lo lt requires that I she should have her daughter or some other J attendant constantly with her. Drs. Williams and Chew called to see her on Thursday Jase, at ber request. Only a lew Intimate friends, whom she desires to see, are permitted to see her. A plain white musita curtain at che door of her cell serves to exclude Its occupants from observation. Mrs. Wharton's meals con-1 linue to be furnished her by Mrs. Russell; the caterer, and ber appetite ls good. Mrs. Whar ton says that sbe cannot steep at night on ac count of the noise; She says she {eels com posed, because she ls conscious that sh? wilt be-able to establish her innocence. . Since her Imprisonment, her case has not presente? iby new development. Mrs. W. is making arrange? ments to rent ber dwelliag-house on Eutaw street. TBE NEW YORK SCBUTZENFEST. Coronation of the King. Of the close of the New York Sch?tzenfest, the Sun says : "For an hour the marksmen shot away without being able to bring down the thin little bits ol wood, the last remnant of the eagle. Every one despaired. On a sudden a loud shout was heard; every one rushed forward to the spot where the lucky marksman stood. One man frantically em? braced his back, another pulled bis Majes? ty's beard In an ecstacy of loy, and- all kissed, and hugged, and pinched, and squeez? ed the man until he got out of their way. by being lifted on the backs of two enthusiastic marksmen, who triumphantly carried him around and exhibited him to the multitude. When the shot liad been fired the band struck up 4 Hail to thee ia thy laurel wreath," and the copse scene resounded with the echoes of joy. Every one, with the- exception of the women, tried to get at least one kiss or hag out of the new King, who bore his fortune with much seeming equanimity. The new King IB George Aery, a blight young Prussian of twenty-nine years, who .l.ves at No, 267 Madison street. His Majesty received the gran? ulations and handshakes of his subjects very cordially, and thea lighted a cigar, which he smoked with gusto on the shoulders of the two who carried his royal body. The excitement was great, and Captain Gerdes ordered his marksmen to disband and to cool off their joy, which was done bv danc? ing and drinking irdod beer In Mr. Schultheis' Inviting place. The band played, and the marksmen marched up to the coronation plat? form, preceded by young girls dressed in white, and looking pretty la their golden bair and the white wreaths that enclosed their long, waving ringlets.' There the little and the big girls formed a circle round .the King, whom Miss Schnackenberg, aged 16, present? ed with a golden medal, which, she told him with much grace of action and felicity of ex? pression, "ne should ever wear on his heart, on that heart which should ever loyally beat for the weal of his corps." His Majesty took off his hat, and advised all the bachelors to get married, which was- rap? turously applauded by tue matrons and greatly laughed at by the girls. Captain Gerdes pre? sented his sovereign with the.golden watch and chain, which was the most solid of the royal insignia. Then they marched back; dancing, drinking and feasting. :-The Jews of New York, lt ls stated, have entered into arrangements for the establish? ment of a publiaatlpn society, with the object of Issuing works on Jewish life, history and literature, .excluding treatises of a contro? versial description. It IB intended to unite on a broad and linera! platform, and to bring the benefits of the organization wilbla the reach ol every one. I J . NEW YORK, Joly M.
