8 HRS, WHARTON'S TRIAL. General Keichum’s Papers Ex- cluded as Evidenee. Grand Legal and Judicial Tournament. The Deceased Never Meddled with Drugs, Mrs. Chubbs, the Deaf Man and the Tartar Emetic. The Baltimore Ladies Delighted with the Lore of the Lawyers. ANNAPOLIS, MG., Dec. 16, 1871, ‘There was a material change in the appearance @f the court room this morming, as the twelfth @ay’s proceedings in the case of Mrs. E.G, Whar- ton, Row on trial here for the murder of General W. Scott Ketchum, was commenced. The jarge crowd that were usually in wait fmg for the arrival of the hour of com- Mencement had dwindied down to barely a undred persons, a very few of whom were ladies. ‘Tre jury were absent from the box, and the general @arroundings of the room indicated that something ‘was going on in which the general public had hte @r no interest. At a few moments before ten o'clock the three Judges came in and took their scats, A Moment after Mra. Wharton came in, leaning wpen the arm of the Sheriff, and accom- panied by her devoted daughter and kind fends, Mrs, and Miss Neilson, Mrs, Nugent and Misa Stump, and took their seats near the counsel Sor the prisoner. Both she prisoner and her daugh- ter shook hands with the counsel for the defence and Ohatted cheerfully with them, unti they were interrupted by the gavel of Unief Justice Miller, which feil at precisely ten o'clock, and the ‘rier opened the Vourt in due form. There Were present at this time within the bar séveral gentlemen of legal and social prominence who were Materested in the legal contest that was to take place this morning between the counsel upon the Sdmissibitity as evidence of the books and papers f General Ketchum, which had driven the general attendants upon tuls trial from tne Court room this morning. THE COUNSEL FIGHTING FURIOUSLY. 4s soon as the Court was called Chief Justice Miller directed the attorneys to proceed with the ar- gament, At ten minutes after ten Mr. Thomas, for Mhe defence, took up the argument against the ad- Missivility of the books, and occupied thirty-five minutes in its consideration, Ie was followed by Mr. Reveli, for the prosecution, who maintained the competency of the evidence in aa able argument ‘f about twenty minutes? duration. Chief Justice MILLER—Before the attorney Gene- fal and Mr. steele begin their arguments the Vourt would like ask them to deal with tnis view of the cape. It is undoubtedly competent for the State, in ‘sriminal cases, to show that the accused made state- ments, and then prove them false. Now, as fur as She indebtedness of Mrs. Wharton is concern- ed, and her statements, admissions ana de- Clarations that she nad liquidated it, and her further statement that when the last Payment was made by her General Ketchum en- @orsed on the note $130, and she had him correct it by making the endorsement $65, may be contra- @icted; and ithas occurred to the Court whether Sais entry in the diary of $130 may not be admitted te contradict her statement that $65 only was paid @ that time on account of interest. The Court ‘weuld like to hear sume argument upon that ques- Gon. ; Attorney General SygsTgR then resumed the argument, dealing largely with that phase of the base suggested by Judge Miller, and ciosed a most fercible review of the authoriues bearing upon the pamissibility of the evidence sought to be intro- fiuced at five minutes to one O'clock. Mr. STEELE followed the Attorney Generalin a forcible argument against the admissibility of the evidence, closing at ven sainutes to three o'clock, ‘and the question was at once taken by the Court for consideration and decision. THE DEAD GENERAL'S BOOKS AND PAPERS, Chief Justice MiLLER—In the decision of this ques- Won it is our duty to act simply as Judges and to Gecide the admissibility or non-admissibility of the evidence itself, without speaking of its weight or bearing upon the case further than 18 necessary in ving our conclusions. Therefore: we preter state the result of our views rather than indulge in any extended comments upon the authorities which have been cited. This ts tne case of the State of Maryland azainst the prisoner, nd in itentries made by a third patty have been Offered in evidence. It is clearly laid down as law that snch entries are not admissible, unless they are against the interest of the party making them, or were made in the Course of official duty, or a3 an ageni fora principal. The only entries here offered that can be noe as purporting to be against the interests of General Ketchum 1s the entry of interest, So far as that entry 1s evidence of the receipt of that money we would sa: es, It was against the interest of General Ketchum;” bat it 13 eoupied with an assertion that it 1s ofered to prove that an indebtedness of Mrs. Wharton to General Ketchum existed, and in that view we are clear that it is not such ap entry a8 would allow it to be admitted as evidence Ip this case. We, therefore, Gecide that the proffered testimony 1s tnadmissable, The jury was then sent for and soon arrived, and She court room was again filled with anxtous spec- tators. As soon as al! were in readivess Chief Jus- face Miller said, ‘Gentlemen, proceed with the @xamination of Mr. Ketchum.” Attorney General Systen—We have some otaer ‘Witnesses Who desire to go home, and we will put them on the siand now, and continue the examina- on of Mr. Ketchum on Monday. Mr. STEKLE—We liave no objection. GENERAL KETCHUM’S LAST BARGAIN, Mr. Eugene Carusi, Attorney-at-Law, Washington, was then called. He testified tnat General Ketchum bought, for $11,900, a house in Wasuington, which he sold, as trustee, by authority, of the Supreme Court of the district of Columbia, and paid lor iton June 24, the day General Ketchum came to Baltimore to see Mrs, Wharton, by check ou tho First National Bank of Washington.

Regular Agricultural Reporte of the Products, with Calculations of the Quantities of Each, fer the Year 1871. WASHINGTON, Dec. 16, 1871. The Department of Agriculture gives the foliow- ing as the condition of the cotton crop:— The cotton retarns received in December are now similur in tenor to the November reports, fully sus- taluing the moderate promise of improvement upon the somewhat gloomy views presented in Uctover. Yet the change ts not so marked as to modily Materially tue prospect foreshadowed in the monthly reports for July and September. ‘The latest returns Would indicate an estimate almost identical with that of the September report for a favoring autumn, which could scarcely. bring @ crop exceeding three and one-tuird millions of bales. Frosts haye been detayed until November, in some localities untii the 20th, and the weatner nas been geuerally favorable for picking wfthout waste or discoloring of fibre. A fair reuderiug of the recent local estimate, which have been unusually numerous and complete, wives a total ee gor Of 3,400,000 Daies as the pre- sent expectation of Lue cotton yield of 1871. The area in corn has been greater tn 1871 than im any former year. In June and July the prospect Was favorabie for a larger aggregate than that of tue great corn year of 1870, which exceeded the yield of the preceding year by @ quanuty greater Unban that which represents the advance made trom 1559 to 186%, the corn crop of the latter year being , Wolle the great crop was unexceptionably larg Acomparison of the figures jor these de- cennial periods will very inadequately represent the average iucrease of cither crop in the past ten years. The first dications of dainage to corn were Teceived in June from many points m the West, where worms in sod luuds were more destructive than usual Some injury was wrought by frost in north. ern New Engiand as late as June 2%. In July the condition of maize was reported above an average, though chinck bugs were becoming numerous in the Ohio basin. ‘Ine growth was slow im molst, cold soils in tne Alleguanian region uutt! the 1st of July, In August the influence of the drought became mani- Jest in southern Mlunots, Indiana, portions of Michi- gad, aud 1 other seculous of Lhe West, and in por- Mons of the Gulf Coast States, The ravages of the chinck bug became more severe in the Western States, in some localities proving a scourge. Win these exceptions circumstances were higaly favor- able to a vigorous growth aud a thorough ripening.

On ’Change to-day wheat was dull and steady. ‘The cotton market was quiet and heavy. THE COTTON MOVEMENT. ‘The receipts of cotton at all the ports for the past ‘week were 129,918 bales, against 105,839 bates the previous week. The total recetpta since September 1, 1871, are 1,118,557 bales, against 1,372,557 for the corresponding period of the previous year, showing @ decrease in the present crop of 254,000 pales, The exports from all the ports for the week were 107,473 bales, against 117,598 bales for the same week last year. The total exports for the expired portion of the cotton year are 592,609 bales, against 765,168 bales for the same time last year. Tne stock at all the ports 1s 406,472 bales, against 468,254 bales for the same date in 1870, THE BANK STATEMENT. The weekly statement of the associated banks proves very favorable, and the effort to place them- selves ina stronger position is reflected ina de- crease of nearly eleven millions in the item of loans. Part of this total 1s made up by the absence from the Clearing House sheet of the broken banks, whose loans were between three and four millions, Allowing for tms reduction, and for the average decrease occasioued by the calling m of joans by the Broadway Bank, it ts fair to presume that the contraction accommodation on speculative stocks has been pretty nearly five mil- Mons, The gain in specie 1s once more surprisingly small, and revives the question of the whereabouts Of the $21,316,000 of gold disbursed by the Sub- ‘Treasury in redemption of ’62 bonds since December 1. The statement compares with its predecessor as follows:— Dec. % + $294,088,400 100 Dec. 16.. An analysis of the above shows that the banks have decreased their liabilities $5,604,000 and gained $1,430,900 in legal reserve. Adding one-fourth of the former to the latter gives $2,831,900 as the gain in the surplus reserve, which now stands at $8,552,125. MONEY EASIER, The money market was stringent at the begin- ning of business and rates on call ranged trom 1-32 to % percent. Toward the close of banking hours the supply became better, and after three o’clock loans were made at as low as five per cent. The Comptroller of the Currency has authorized the Special Commuttee of the Clearing House to per- form the duties of the Bank Examiner until a suc- cessor to Mr. Callender shail be appoimted. The new incumbent ts to be designated by the Clearing Honse and appointed by Mr. Hulburd, It will be noticed by the reply of the Comptroiler of the Cur- Tency to the special resulution of Congress pub- lished in to-day’s HERALD that he confirms the views already expressed in this column to the effect that there has been little, if any, artificial effort to make money stringent, Prime paper was dull and neglected. Tne quo- tation ranged from eight to ten per cen: discount. Foreign Exchange was steady and unchanged.
