I m--- CHARLESTON, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1871. _ . , '; THE WHARTON TRIAL. A REVIEW OF TUE EXTRA ORDINARY \ CASE IN ALL ITS BEARINGS. Forthcoming Evidence-Strong Circum? stantial Case for the Prosecution Origin of the Suspicion - Limerai Ketctmm's Business Habits--The Lady Witnesses. The trial of Mr?. Wharton, now In progress at Annapolis, for the murder ol General Ketch vim, and the attempted murder of Eugene Van Ness, at Baltimore, last summer, is t-y far the most Interesting of any of ihe great mur? der trials of the past few years. Its Interest is due not only to the high social position ol' the defendant and Ihn atrocity ol' ino crimes laid to her charge, but to tho peculiarly con? flicting character of the circumstances at? tending the death of her alleged victim. The spacial correspondent ortho New York Times gives the following review of the circum? stances of the case as lar os they have been elicited: ANNAPOLIS, MD., December 10. As tho trial progresses the Inaccuracies of | previously published statements regarding the nature ol the testimony become more ana more apparent, The t u'h 1?, that the Ketch nm side of the story, r rather the alleged cir? cumstances on WUK J thc prosecution now mainly relies, haw never been correctly printed. The Baltlmo-e papers, printed at the scene ol* the traget ly, nave, wiUi excusa h? bte partiality for the is dy prisoner, espoused ' thc cause of the defenct, and the wrileis who have discussed the sut leer bou re the public have generally taken tht lr cue from them. A close Investigation of thc facts alleged by thc prosecution, however, s tows a remarkably strong case or circumstantial evidence against tho accused. 'Jhe testimony thus Tai presented is well euough understood to si ow thai General Ketchum died in Mis. Wbar .on's house by poi? son, and that there was a mercenary motive alleged to exist on her part -the fact thar he bela her note, past due, foi $2600, with three months' accrued Interest-io warrant the sus? picion that she was the poisoner. It ls not generally known, however, but will in allpro babl liy very soon be developed in the testi? mony, that she not only cla med that the note had been paid, but deinam ad the return to her of four thousand dollars of five-twenty bonds which she alleges she .iad given to Gen- j eral Ke tchum, either to be transferred into ten-forties or for safekeeping, she made this demand ot Charles Ketchnm, the deceased's eldest HOU, and it resulted in an Interview be? tween her and Paymaster-General Bi Ice.wnose wife ls General Ketchum't* sister. Charles Kel ch um administered upon his father's estate; hence the demand cn him by Mrs. Wharton. Tfjere is a younger son. James, who ls not yet of age. when Charlea took possession of his lather's effects he very fortunately had a witness present In the parson of Gene- j ral John H. Eaton. It seems that General | Brice advised bim lo this precaution, and re? quested General Eaton to act In this capacity. The reason for this fortuna;e foresight is evident in the fact that 't .wus not known whe. her fire General len. i will, and it was to guard agaist the possibility ol charges, such us Mr?. Wharton's irlends now make, that j General Eaton acted thu part ol' friendship to? ward the son of his old comrade. Mrs. Whar? ton 8 charges are that Chat les Kel chum has the tweiny-Uve bonds now lu hrs possession, and that he has secreted them from her. She! says lt ls as just nod as reasonable for her to; charge agalust the Ketchups ihe crime-If lt, wei o true lt would be a crime-of conspiring, to defraud her out of the bonds, by charging'; lier with the general's murder, us it is fur them io assert that sba poisoned him to get rid ot paying the $2600 note. The Interview between her and General Brice was the first intimation that the friends! of Hie deceased had of her claim against his ratall}. They had carefully collected lils ef? fects, and lound them to correspond exactly with the schedule prepared by him en Jun? lt, previous to bis death. Both General Brice and General Eaton, who knew bim intimately, j represented bim to have been a man of won? derful precision In hin busin osa allai is. He | was accustomed each nlgbt to make- a mem? orandum ot his expenditures during the pre? ceding day. which was so minute aa to in ctr le even ihe amount or number ol pennies he had given to the "colored beggars at the street corners." At the end of each month lt was his habit to odd the amounts ol these memo raudums together, and thereby determine his expenses. In tact, he was a remarkable mao tn this respect, and subjected himself to a Jpteat amount of labor by keeping Without in? termission this very exact diary ot bli finances. Whenever he collected interest, nt mode any change whatever ls his as? sets, he made - cut a new schedule! He noted on Um schedule tho payment or notes due to Um, or the Utterest torre?n, and then made out another, showing the date ol the future payments. The schedule" of June I2i h ls brief and succinct, for his {brume was eminently ail 1n cash capital, except the rca! estate that he had recently purchased tn Washington. When lt ls brought to light, lt will show that he hold United States securltlt* to the amount of $59.000, together with the note of bis son, Charles, for $2300 10. and Mrs Wharton's note for $2600, and that the interest due thereon, with, dates or the time of payment, are carried ont with scrupulous correctness. His friends say, and bring for? ward the loregoing facts regarding thu nice j manner of bis business babita to prove it, that he would not have accepted the trust which Mrs. Wharton alleges she placed in bim, with? out giving her a receipt partlculailzlng the amount aud number of the bonds. She hos no auch receipt. They add, that from their knowl? edge ot bis character, they think he would have declined accepting such a mist. General Brice told Mrs. Wharton that he was under the impression that she was In? debted to the estate, and not the estate In ^ debted to her. the positively asserted that ^kphe had given General Ketchum the bonds ?^eighteen months before, or about three or or four months sfier giving him her note. She added that she had taken up the note on the 16ih or 17th of Juue, at Mrs. Chubb's house in Washington, aud ! hat she had destroyed it in General Keichum'a pres? ence. She stated further thut she had no wit? nesses of this alleged fact, bul asserted lt as a Ecsiilve truth, diaries Ketchum believed er. General Brice did not, and found some? thing in her manner, although shu was intrep? idly cool and imperturbable, to confirm a lurk? ing suspicion that che was guilty of lils friend's murder. He filially told her that if her pro? jected visit to Europe depended on receiving those bonds she might as we'l abandon all idea of going, for che never would receive them. >he then bid them good mornlugT re? marking that Inasmuch as her visit was one of business, and her time limited, she could not remain lo pay her respects to tue ladies ot the fbmily. A few day s subsequent to this General, Brice received a note irom Dr. Williams con? taining tho result ot the analysis of General Ketchum's stomach, lo which he rep'icd giv? ing his suspicions regarding Mrs. Wharton, and the details of ihe loregoing interview. The result ol that reply, as you ar? already In? formed, was the discovery of tho motive lor the murder, as now alleged by the prosecution, and the consequent Indictment ot the uuior tunate woman by the grand Jury ol' Baltimore County. It is, perhaps, unjust ut this particular Junc? ture to allude tn mutters which .seem to hav? a bearing against her, and which may not be included lu the forthcoming, testimony. The foregoing statements, however, are "merely the conuected tale which will be developed by the evidence of General Brice, General Eaton and Charles Ketchum. Tne pitiful conda ion or the prisoner entitles lier to the sympathy of friends and strangers up lo the last moment ot possible belief In her innocence, aud she receives lt from every male stranger who visits the court-room. Not so with the visitors of I her own sex, however, for ihey are, with rare exception?, earnest believers In her guilt. This admitted fact gives the color of truth to the assertion that MIK. Van Ne^, Mrs. Hutton and Mw. Louey, the three sisters who were at her house In attendance on Mr. Eugene Van Ness during his Illness, and General Ketchnm. ??ben he died, are exceedingly ..bitter against mr" From what little I know of their feelings in lids respect, I think they do entertain an earnest desire for her punishment, because lhev have a deep-seated conviction of her guilt. But they had oo part, whatever, iu j tbe origin of the proceedings or suspicions against tier. They knew that Van Ness had barely escaped death from poisoning, and that General Ketchum had died from the effects of poison In the house of their friend. Yet they had every confidence In her, and a firm reli? ance not only in her fast friendship, but In her eminent Christianity. They suspected the servant,-, and when Mrs. Loney secreted the punch rumbler In her pocket for the purpose of showing it to Dr. Williams, she told Mrs. Wharton what, she had done. They went up? stairs together to General Knichum's room, and Mrs. wharton called M rn. Hutton out, tell? ing her that her slater wanted to see her In t he room opposite. In that room the two sls t- rs--Mts. Hutton and Mn". Loney. Mrs. Van N?s? not bel?g present-discussed the matter together, and arrived at the con? clusion, of which Mr.'. Wharton was at the time a supporter, that pome cf i h- servants had ''done the .-foul deed." They look Mrs. What ton Into their confidence, consulted with her about showing the- Sedi? ment In the tumbler to Dr. Williams, and treated her ft om that hour torward, up to the time ot'Hie disclosures made to them bv the police officers, aa a friend-aye, not only as a friend, but as a mother. When, however. Ur. Will ams. General Brice, and the authorities, explained the case to them as lt now stands mad" up lor the prosecution, they changed their minds. Then, for the first time, they were eu?bled to recall incidents and circum? stances which they hud previously overlooked, and which now tend to continu their belle! of Mrs. Wharton's guilt This statement is due to them, lu view of the fact that they have been falsely represented as malicious persecu? tors of their former friend, and the further fact th.it, they being laoies of refinement and cultivation, they have no means at their com? mand with which to reline the wide-spread aspersions of their motives. The county lal!of Anne Arnndbl Couuly, In which Mrs. Wnarton ls confined, ls a three au da half story brick build iou', out of which negro and other .convicts make easy escapes by pushlug holes through the soft walls. It is one of the voidest of the mauy very old build? ings in this quaint old-lasbloned Town. Its outward appearance Is as inappropriate to Its Inner uses as one could well Imagine. It looks more like a small factory or a very old-fashion? ed dwelling than a prison.. It ls surrounded on three s des wlih a yard In cloded by A high brick wall, and i rom s abruptly to the north on Calvert street-rou will seldom find anything lu Maryland without the name -'Calvert" at? tached to lt. Since aud during the war lt has been well filled, as a rule, but ls now compara? tively eropiy, as except Mrs. Wharton, there are only ?even prisoners within Its walls. Mrs. Wharton's cell ls on the second floor, north west, corner, and ."rectiy opposite the ap i ri mei, i s occupied by he family of the sheriff. It. ls, nevertheless, a perfect cell, the only windows In its two, overlooking the north, bel?g barred, as well os the door, which is of thick, double plank, and has heavy iron bolts on the out>ld>*, and heavy padlocks with wi.lch to securely fasten 1t. The apart? ment is ubout thirteen by s-venteen leet in ?fate, and ls carpetled aud furnished by Mrs. Wharton herself. From this room Mrs. Whar? ton is dully convoyed to a carriage lu the pri? vate or sheriff* entrance of the Jail, and thence driveu to the courthouse. 8he returns to it In tlie same way, and is privileged lo climb to i he second floor by a private stair? way, so that she ls never B"en by or comes In contact with the other prisoners. Her meals aro sent Irom Black's restaurant, at her own expense, and she ls walled UDOR by a colored servant girl, whom she has hired since her ar? rival here (rom Ballimore. The view from the windows embraces the rolling country on the uorth tide of lhe town, together wlih the straggling tenemet^B ol'the poorer classes of people who reside In the suburbs. It ls fur frota cm Icing. On tb" right, toward the west, you get a glimpse of the soinbie monuments and tombstones In the Episcopal Cemetery, the flag waving over the United States Hospital lu the dim dis? tance, und Immediately in front, the cupola of the Sinnion school-house for colored people. A shallow stream, now, partly frozen over, winde Its narrow way through a deep gully ou the opposite side of the street, and a bleak common lulervenes toward the weat between her and a few priva-e dwellings ol' respectable architecture. On the mantel, directly over a very large and comfortable wood-stove, she keeps her Bible, Book of Common Prayer, and Thoughts on thc "Services, by Coxe. There are no attempts to re? lieve Ihe bare and dismal appearance ol the newly white-washed walls by ornament or en? gravings. About the room are eclogue, hair restorative and other toilette anieles. The appearance ot the room ls cheerless, and ls only relieved from actual bleakness by its neat anil cleanly system ot arrangement, which shows that (he occupmt ls a woman of lastldloos taste. Mrs. Wharton ls allowed lo receive such visitors as she chooses to admit and hos re? ceived a number ol old Irlends, including many ladies. In conversation she seldom rolers lo her present misfortune, except to declare her ability to establish her Innocence. She enters Into the discussion of ordinary topics wlih great avldiiy. and were lt not for her sur? roundings, one would soon forget the terrible charge now p. niling against ber. She ls reg? ular In her devolioot-J. exercises, DIM a lair ap? p?tit**, and set-nan satlefivd that her Incarcera? tion will not be of loog duration. She exhibits a spirit of restlessness at limes, the very nat? ural result of loi<g confinement; but, all things contIdered, ls wonderfully contented and pa? tiently resigned to her fate. Mr. White, tue warden of the Jail, is exceed? ingly attentive io her wants, as ls also the Sheriff and his lamily. The colored prisoners, tu the adjoining apartments on the same licor ieom to entertain great respect for her, and ire remarkably quiet when she-is In the bulki? ng. m . A COSTLY COMPANY. The Artillery Corps or Loudon. A correspondent writing from Wimbledon, England, during the meeting of the National Rifle Af sn in lon, gives the following descrip? tion of oue of tho companies. He says: Turning to the right, the snow while tents af the volunteers are found, ranged In "campt" iccordlug to regiments. Here is Love lane leading to the camp ol the Artillery Company ol London;.the first volunteer corps of the United Kingdom, which takes precedence even ol'the militia. This company is a relic if the old train bauds which-marched to raise the siege of Gloucester, and : ls the only one which cart led the QuetL'a colors. The camp sf* tills company may be known by the big jear-skio caps poised on sticks in tront ot' Hie tents. It has not seen any fighting, but lu equipments, in drill, and in soldiery appear luce, lt Is ihe finest looking body of volun? teers in the world. The''Company" consists o? a field battery of artillery, a troop of ?valry and a regiment of infantry. Th* ?nillery and cavalry are admirably horsed and ??quipped in every respect. Their uniform is i)lue and silver laces; that of the inlantry ls scarlet and sliver laces. The band of the regi? ment consists of sixty pieces, and ls conducted tty an eminent band-mRBter. Every member ttl the regiment finds his own uniform and iccoutreine.iis, which are ol the most costly .lescriptic i.. The bear-skin cap alone costs forty dolli) s In gold, and the "busby" of the cavalry ct ?ta much more. The ornaments on ihe accoutrements are of gold, nnd the lace on the tunics and pantaloons are ot silver. An officer's uniform in the cavalry troop costs certainly not a fraction less than liven hundred and lltiy dollars lu gold, that ls In England, it must be remembered, where things are cheap. A trooper's uniform probably costs one hun? dred and illly dollars In gold. The men are well S"t up-well-drilled aud well-officered. The officers know their duty and do lt. This regiment has barracks of Its own, au officer's mess-room, and a capital armory. Ks ranks are recruited from the merchants and trades? men of the City ot Loudon. The Prince of Wales is captain-general of ike company. -This ls the era ol taxing luxuries, and the constant demand is to raise the tux on articles of this nature and abolish it on others. The province ol Quebec responds nobly lo this de? mand. Heretofore the cost of a marriage li? cense In that region has been six doliars, but lt Is now intended to Increase the revenue from this tax by making it two dollars higher, and the additional sum ls to be added to the public school fund. Truly a wise application ol the money, and evidently appropriate one. -Paris fashion correspondents speak of some new t hings iu colors; for example, Paris br?l?, ash gray, burned love-letter Hut, Paris bombard?, carrier-pigeon slate, tawny stone color, &c.

Practice-The Death-Sentence on Rossel-The Dmr of | tho Execution-.\ Father's Grief-[ Scene at Sartory. [Correspondence of the New York Times.] PAWS, "Wednesday, November 29. A few days ago M. Thiers received the Chi? nese Embassy, sent to apologize for the mur? ders of Tien-tslu, and began lils reply as fol? lows: "You tell me," said he to the chief am? bassador, "of the numerous punishments In? flicted ou the guilty. The French nation Is too humane to take pleasure in the shedding ot blood. It demands only that security which is necessary to restrain the wicked, and lt be? lieves that to rigorous measures others of a very different character must be added. It ls the duty of governments, while repress? ing the excesses of the populace, to calm Its passions, to dispel its prejudices, and to bring it to thc voice of reason and humanity." A few hours alter t his sharp lecture to tue as? tonished Celestials, M. Thiers signed the deaih watr-mt or Rossel and Feire. The friends of the President have frequently circulated the report that he used all his influence to save Rossal, but very few will believe this tale, for no one can forget that the rigut of pardon legitimately belongs to the sovereign or to the executive, and that lt was at his own de? mand thaS- a commission was appointed to lake the responsibility. When lt ls shown that M. Thiers has failed to have his own way in any one small point, or failed to carry any measure he det-lred, wo eau have a little more patlenoe In listening rb his friends when they try to relieve him from all blame In the mat? ter. Such ls the view taken In private con? versation, but the Journals do not dare to criticise. Another Journal lias beeu added to the list of suppressions, and there ls a very general fear, which ls very plainly, almost ludicrously, soen lrom day to day. But in giving their romantic aud touching accounts of the execution, they have doue ihe govern? ment more harm than If they crillclseu open? ly. Everywhere :that I have visited to-uay I have found women in tears, and even men are not ashamed to f-how their emotion at ihe death of Russel. There is something horrible In ihe idea of keeping these men walling for death for near six months' lime, and then shooting them In cold blood, for. If any of them were to be shot, lt should have been done promptly, and without an hour's delay Rossel was lound In precis* ly the case of Ar? mand Carrel, who joiued the Republicans In Spain, leaving the French army for the pur pose. Carrel was acquitted, i ho two men were similar In many respects, bul Rossel had more military genius. Had they noi killed him, I have no.uoubt that he would have been one of the most distinguished officers ol the French army. His two volumes, written when In prison, upon army organization, remain to show what kiud of a m m ho wus. But Rossel Chose the wrong t-lde. like many officers who Joiued the Confed?rales, and for this fault he was yesterday shot lo death, in company with Ferre und a sergeant of thu lino named Bour geois. THE PKISOXERS NOTIFIED. It was not until Monday, after his return from Rouen, thai M. Thiers signed Ihe death warrants. Twenty-four hom s must elapse before the execution, but thc prisoners aro not informed itunl Hie morning. Aboul 3 o'clock a crazy mau in a cell adjoining Rivet's pet up a leai lui cry, atv using the piisoners.nndbrln lng ail of the guardians of the prison. When the Advocat Joly entered the cell he found Rossel sleeping, and tonched him lightly upou thu shoulder. "Ah !" he said, recognizing M. Joly, and mising himself upon lils elbow, "then li is for this morning ?" "Yes," replied M. Joly. "At what hour ?" "Thev will come tor you at six o'clock." ?..For-?" "For seven o'clock." "Whut ! so short a time ! And what o'clock is ll now P "Hall'-pist four." "Ah ! you promised to notify mo sooner Well-? Seeing the emotion of M. Joly, Rossel tiled to comiort him. Soon utter ihe pastor, Passa, entered. There was an affecting scene between them, Rossel, always culm, reproaching them for their leard. He related the alarm of the morn? ing. "Whut did you do?" asked thc pastor. "I rose-" "You thought it was for Ferro?'' "Yes, and tor me; 1 drersed myself." Rossel had no hope; bis sisters were hopeful even the evening belore. dishing to be alone to say his devotions, L?ssel asked the com? pany io leave him, but the guardian refused, lloseel complained ti Utile since he was so soon to die. but soon recognized that the man was only obeying orders. -H*? prayed for some lim? at the side of his bed, then rose to arrange lils papers, and to give to the pastor ihe lost direc? tions concerning his book?, his manuscripts and letters io his parents, bis listers and his betrothed. The pastor ?hen admlulsicred the communion. Colonel Rossel, the fallier. Isa Puritan. Tho mother is a Scotch woman-ii Campbc I-uud ihn family has many rela'lves now Irving in Scotland. Throughout this try lng morning Rossel was calm und resigned to his fate, and all ol his remarks ure munly and touching. I cannot give all of thc prison scenes. THU DAT"OF EXECUTION. It was a cold, d irk, November morning, a heavy fog obscuring overvlliiug ni 6?, und the street lamps were still lighted. During this time Ferro had dressed himself with un? usual care, pulling pommade upon bis hair, and spending a long time in blushing his clothes. A priest rame to see him. Ferre was smoking, and replied to thu priest's offer to pray with him, "Walt u bit, cau't you, lhere Is no hurry;" but after a time hu look the cigar lrom his Hits, und said : "No ! a materially I have lived, und n materialist I will die." He wrote a letter lo his sister reiterating this phrase. Bourgeois rose jauntily from his bed, made his ablutions like u soldier, then listened to the consolation of tho priest. After this he lighted a cigar, and went out Jauntily, with light military iremi, and with bis tepi cocked upon one oar. He was cool, but lhere was no bravado about him, whl'e Perre seemed to be constaully searching lor effect. Belote 0 o'clock large detachments of troops were un? der arms, and occupying the camp of Sartory and its approaches. Tue three condemned were carried iii ambulance wagons, but. very slowiy, lt being ?till dark, and the hones' feet slipping often upen iho frosty road, (iendaimes were stationed upon the route to lum back the crowd, aud io stop all passage after the wagons. A KATHE K'S OIIIEF. A few moments utter the wagons had passed, a tull, straight, soldierly old gentleman, wear? ing tue rosette.of Ihe Legion d'Honneur, usk?!d leave to pjs? and was refused. It was thc father of Rossel who then knew a'l. Turn? ing in his tracks, he seized t he arm of a friend aud cried like ono distracted, "They are g >in?j t) uss ?ss; na e my son-my brave buy. Ah ! ii all tire officers had beeu ike him, we should not be where we aro now." The poor old sol? dier rushed away even theil to break into the cablnoi of M. Tillers, but t J no eui!, ot course, and for the. rest ol'Hie evening he was wan? dering about I he streets of Versailles crying: "They have murdered my son-my only sou." Fearing that this touching spectacle might raise aa emente, a large number ol' troops were kept under arms, bul the public emotion wus expressed lu tears. AT SAKTORT. Th? moon was still visible through the m's! and the dawn t-lowly approaching when the condemned descended from tito wagons In charge of the gendarmes. Ail marched boldly to the three posts before them-some twenty five yards apart-aud abo Ht thirty paces in front of which were tho three tiring parties. Rossel was shot by a detachment of the engl glneers, io which cori s he belonged, and the other two by detachments of two regiments of the line, the firing party being commanded by sublieutenants, tin adjutant giving the signal wilh bis sword. As he took lils place against Hie post Rossel asked leave to command the Are, but this being refused him. he asked it he could take the Laud of Col ;> j el Merlin, Hie president Of the court, to assure him there was no Ill-feeling. He wus told thal Colonel Mer? lin was not present at Hie moment, and that to walt for him would be lo prolong tho misery ol' the others. Rossel said no more, but stood calmly before tho platoon awaiting the signal to fire. ROSSELS COMPANIONS. Meantime Bonrgeols had marched gaily to his poet, saluting the troops as he passed, and, In a business-like way, threw down his cigar, t hrew open bis coat, and stood in an easy posi? tion awaiting the word. Perre was a poseur to the last. A number of times he changed his position, looking at bis legs and then at the few spectators, but no position seemed to satisfy him. He then cast a rapid glance to? ward Bourgeois, and immediately struck the soldier's attitude. Seeing that Sergeant Bour? geois had thrown down his kepi, Ferro took off lils tal!, stove-pipe hat, and held li in his hand, and only took the cigar from his mouth at the moment of the report. THR SENTENCE CAB RIED OUT. The firing party were dlreted. by motions of thu adjutant's sword, nod os he let it fall the t hree platoons fired together. Bossel feil dead, and a most without motion, with two balls thtough his heart, one through the chin, and both arms were said to have been broken. Bourgeois (ell, but, breathing still, a sergeant gave Dim the coup de grace. Ferre was si 111 standing. As the sergeant approached he was shocked at the idea ol'firing thus upon a living man standing upright before him, and his hand faltered, but at that moment another gun was fired and Ferre fell to the ground. It was then only the sergeant had the heart to lire a ball Into his head, against which the muzzle of the gun wus placed. It was a ghastly scone. A.% ihe sergeant turned two while dorrs burst through the line, and, bounding by the bodies ot Rus-el and Bourgeois, pounced upon Perre and begin to lick the blood from his lace. It was willi the greatest difficulty they could be driven away. AFTER THE EXECUTION. The drums were then beaten, and the defile : ot tbe troops began. As the noise died away, Hie Pastor Passa called Colonel Merlin's name In a loud tone, and as that officer responded, he said, "lt was Rossel's last wish that I should tell you that he felt you did only your duty. It was that he desired to tell you him? self." "Pauvre gar?on F said the "good Colo? nel, Merlin, raising his 'cap. and putllug him? self at the head or his troops. By eight o'clock the detachments had entered the town, but a very strong force was kept under arms during the day. lu the evening there were rumois of an an ?meute In Paris, and the troops were called out there, but no disturb? ance took place, yet the emotion of the peo? ple was very great. M. Thiers was generally blamed. During the evening several men went the rounds of the caie.s to say that the people ought to demand the names of this '.Committee of Pardons" or ''of Murder," lu otder to know who could be held responsible, and all recalled the fact that it wits the first time any ruler had given up the right of par? don. Yet in no quarter was there any out? break. AN KIO'.ott IN POLICT. . For my own part, I think the government did a very unwise and Impolitic thing In kil? ling Rossel, and I lear lt will yot lead to trouble. In private life, even tbe most bitter enemas of tbe Empire say .that lhere was notting under lt approaching this execution; and hi the evening I saw n horrible drawing, which, of coarse, cannot be publshed bel e. It represents the well-known picture of the deaihof Ney, or of tho Due D'Enghlen, the deadman liing upon his face beside a wall, and a squad ol gendarmes marching away, lu this parody upon it ihe dead man Is Rossel, Tho head of M. Thiers H seen looking over Ihe wall, and beside bira Silnt-Hllmre. "C'est bien Jait,n he snys aside to ihe latter, while he cries io the squad, "Dent forget, sergeant, I did all I could to prevent lt. You'll tell the good people, you kuow." THE DRAPEAU ltOUGE.

This pat-back, und the noto? riety it h.'S given an affair that might, natural? ly, havo been trivial in Its character, ls Just what the reddest Bed should have prayed lor; for oow the public Interest, will be doubled and quadrupled, and the display will be the feature ol the Cnrlstmas celebration. The Reds have Hie advantage of t he author? ities ia the controversy. Tue affair of the 121 li of July settled the abstract right of any society, political cr otherwise, to parade lu the sirona of New York. Superintendent Kelso probibiied tue Orange procession on ihe ground that it was calculated to provoke a breuca ol the peuce, and Governor Hoffman luierlered and laid down tho principle that, as the law now stands, the Orangemen ha 1 a light to the streets, and should oe protected by tile full Btivngih ot the Suite. Public opin? ion sustained him. The Internationalisls de? mand Hie same recognition, nnd it is denied to them. That they proposed lo uso Sunday, they hold, mukes no difference, lor It ls noto? rious that every Sabbath the elreets of New York are Ulled with public funerals and pro? cessions of societies, accoinpauied by bands playing lively secular music. They explain I hat Sundays and holiday.! are the only days on which they can convenionily make their demonstrations, as they are mostly working? men, and cannot afford to lese their time on week days. Considering our theoretical contempt for European royally, our people have exhibited a rather extravagant interest the past three days in Hie l'aie ol' Hie Prioce of Wales. Ever since the cable telegrams were posted on the news? paper bulletins that Hie Prince was worse, the current lalk has been hardly aiiyihlng else than about him. His irregular hublts of U'o have been very generally discussed, und everybody, except Mr. Sothcrn, the "Lord Dundreary" ol Ntblo's Garden, (who was In? terviewed ou the subject by a newspaper re? porter,) coucedes thal lt ls because his cunsii uiiion ls Impaired by dissipation thal be finds so much trouble in getting over ihe crisis safe? ly. The news ot the Prince's danger, depressing British consols as it did, startled tho gold market In Broad street, and sent gold up nearly one per cent., cleaning out a largo number of "sholls." Speculation is rife as to the cons?? quences that would follow u fatal result to the sickness. Mr. Clews, Hie eminent English banker of Wall street, thinks lt would accele? rate the downlall of the monarchy. Queen Victoria would'be still further incapacitated Hom public business by the calamity. She would bs forced to abdicate, ihe child ol'seven years ol'age would become king, and the un? popular Duke ol Cnmbridge, who is suspected of I tie family affliction-Insanity-or tb? Duke ot Edinburgh, who has the reputation of being as dissolute as his older brotber, would be made regent. This unfortunate combination of things, Mr. Clews is represented by the interviewers to think, would give the grow? ing Republican movement a tremendous Impetus. -.. Writing of the dying heir to the Bri'Uh throne reminds mc that I had the misfortune yesterday to meet the legitimate helr fnerefd, a Mr. Gracie, of Long I.-.and, who represents himself to be the direct lineal descendant of James the Second. I remark, mist ort une-for, ungracious as lt may seem to 'ay lt, the lust ol' the Stuarts -ls a bore. Mr. Gracie asserts that the young Pretender, ho who failed to recover the crown at Culloden, bad a son, whose ex? istence was concealed from the world to pro? tect it against, the daggers of the partisans of the House of Hanover. The pretender died ic 1788. the son was secretly conveyed from..! Italy to America, and, assuming the name of [ Gracie, lived undi the time ol his death on Long Island. The present Mr. Gracie- is his son, and the grandson of the young Pretender. He ls a tall, stout man of sixty years, with gray hoir? and eyes that are unmistak? ably wild/ He dresses well, and ls evident? ly a man of education, though he falls to express lils thoughts with con-ecu tiveness. He infests tue newspaper offices, button-holes thc editors, reporters and I office boys, while he recounts his wrengs, and if ne is humored ia his fantasy goes Into par? oxysms disagreeable to the victims. He writes Incessantly to Queen Victoria demanding her abdication In hts favor, und to Mr. Gladstone upbraiding him for his disloyally, and lo the President and Secretary Fish begging them to send the United States army and navy over to England to enforce his claims. He went to Washington when Ihe high Joint commission was in session and bothered the Joints so that a policeman had to be called to their protec? tion. The most curious feature of ihe matter ls that Mr. Gracie possesses documents, appa? rently ancient and genuine, which would seem to substantiate lils claim that his lather wus the heir ol' the Stuart?. Like Hie late Ameri? can Bourbon, Rev. KletzerWilliams, lhere ls some striking circumstantial evidence In his luvor. That, his brain ia unsettled, lhere I-. however, slill more satisfactory evidence. George Wilkes, of the Spirit of the Times, has undertaken the Job ot detesting his old, but Unfall in ul iriend, U. S. G., for the Presi? dency. The intimacy between Wilkes and Grane used to be one ot the most marked of | thu Presidential friendships.' Th? men bad i wu qualities in common; neither knew any? thing ef politics, aud both loved hordes. Wilkes was the party who brought ubout th? reconciliation ol Grant and Butler. It seem? that the President has been unmindful of Iii-* promises to hts Jockey friend. lu a moment of gushing affect lon, he agreed to appoint him minister io Fiance, or stnrietbjng, equally ai good. Mr. Fish, who hus a keener sense of j propri?t?, persuaded ihe President to reconsid? er this del erm I nat lon. Hence, the attitude Of | the Spirit of ihe Times towards Hie President. Mr. Wilkes's leader, in the last number of his paper, has been widely reprinted. He urges a rather impracticable plan, of his own Inven? tion, to compass ihe defeat of Grant. He -.vu u i s H general uprising ol'the people in favor of I nu one-term principle, expression to their feelings being given "by meaus ol resolutions to bejjflered In every variety ol' public meet? ing" that shall he herd previous to the meeting of Hie next Republlcuu Convention. Tn? unanimity of the people thus exhibited. Mr. Wilkes thinks, would frighten Hie politicians 1 and office-holders Into nominating a new mau. The trouble with Mr. Wilkes's project ls that the Democrats would decline lo piny Into his hands, since he insists lliat the candidate shall be a prouounced Radical, and that all Hie Republican meetings ai o manipulated by just Hie class, of people, wno will run tue Na? tional Convention. . .' : NYM. -Alfred Tennyson li IS promised to wilt* a poem for the New Year's number ol the New York Ledger.
