10 “ME KETCHUM POISONING. The Waiting Wharten Wary, Weary and Woefuh MRS. VAN NESS ON PUNCHOLOGY. Paymaster General Brice a Prosecuting Witness. What the Witness Said About the European Trip in Conjunction with the $4,000 Worth of Bonds, The Dead General’s Eccentricities in Business Affairs. ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 18, 1871, ‘What with the rain of iast night, and @ sort of natural depression common to Annapolis In falling ‘weather, the court room looked dull ard uninterest- ‘ng this morning to a degree not at all noticeable a@t‘any time heretofore during the progress of the case of Mrs, 4, G. Wharion, now on wial here for the. murder of General W. Scott Ketchum, But few ladies, other than those whose examination as witnesses was pending, were present, and the crowd outside the bar baad a steamy, damp and quite appreciatedly odorous character that gave we atmosphere @ loggy, unpleasant, Old Bailey aspect, quite @epressing to contemplate, Mra, Wharton sat in her usual seat behind her counsel, statuesque, im- mobile, and as gloomily craped as ever, and ap- peared 10 have nothing to say to elther her lawyers, her daughter, or any of the friends surrounding Ber. Mr. Sieele, her senior counsel, missed the morning boat trom Baltimore, and aid not arrive in ‘the court room until a little after one o’clock, which Caused some delay, and stripped the early proceed- 4ngs of some interest. The general impression of the outside pablic, which in a case like this may be taken as au indication of that of the jury, 18 un- changed in any wise by the evidence of the past few @ays, At ten o'clock Ohief Justice Miller, accompanied by the two Associate Justices, came into the court room, took their seats and at once ordered the open- 4mg of the Court. All the counsel, with the excep- ‘tion of Mr. Steele, were present, and within the bar were seated several genticmen of legal and medical @iatincuon, who were drawn hither by the impor- tance of the trial or were summoned as experts to contradict certain medical theories advanced by she prosecution, Among the scanty crowd of spectators without the bar were a iew ladies, the more timate iriends of Mrs. Wharton, who were @0 much interested in the proceedings urat even the saclemency of the weather did not prevent their at- Yending. At fiteen minutes after ten Chief Justice ‘Milier directed the counsel to proceed, and Charles L. Ketchum, whose examtnation was begun but not concluded on Friday, took the stand, Mr. Thomas—We should rather not proceed with this witness until Mr. Stecle arrives, war. Chiel Jusuice MILLER—There Is no objection; he ‘may stand aside for the present, TESTIMONY OF JAMES D. KETCHUM. ‘The witness then left the stand, and Attorney General Syester directed the calling of James 1. Ketchum. A young: man, evidently about twenty years ol age, responded to the call, and, advancing to the Clerk’s desk, took the oath and occupied the witness sland. He is a fine sooking young man, and ‘bis manner upon the stand was easy and highly commendatory. He testified that he was @ son of the late General Ketchum, and then merely cor- fovorated tne statements of his brother, Charles 4. Ketchum, in relation to the conversation with Mrs. Wharton al out the note and bonds, @ verbatim account of which appeared in the HERALD of Nat- arday. MRS, VAN NESS ON TRE SPAND, Mre.

She repeated 1o me again that the $4,000 was m- @ispensably neccessary to her European trip; I told her that General Keichum’s effects could not be dis- turbed until the Court had appointed an adminuis- trator; she asked me then, *Oan’t I give you any securily sO as toget that $4,000¥7 I told her that that was impossible, and that the assets of the de- ceased General were then in the hands of the law, and must be disposed of by a proper persol to be designated by the jaw; I then remarked to her that the whole proceed! as related by ner was the most extraordinary Ih: yet encountered, knowing General Ketchum’s orrence of debi and knowing that he never per- mitted himself to be in deot a moment longer than 1 was possible to liquidate it, and that during all my long acquaintance with bim | had pever known an instance when he could not meet any debt of his own that was contracte!; I inquired why she had leit the bonds in General Ketchum's possession atter their conversion; she said for safe keeping; I er, “‘Why not have made use of the public institutions, where such deposits De ve furr 1 thei could be nade?” she said that from her engine didence and long acquaintance with Gen.

I then said to ner vbat “I have already explained, Madam, that you cannot before an administrator 18 appointed get any of the estate, and it 18 proper for me to add that unless you produce properly authen- cated evidence of your claim other than your own statements you never can get it;” she said she thought that General Ketchum might nave placed some marks on her bonds by which they could be distinguished from lis own; told her that Charles Ketchum, with General Eacon, whom i had designated previously to ‘accompang him in the examination of aii his effects, snould make re-cxauiipatiou, and uf anything was found there inuicating her ownership of any of the assets the administrator might be authorized to surrender them when he was appointed, and at tae same ume I expressed my disvelief to her that any sucb marks would be sound, use they had existed they would uave been discovered ve- fore and reported, as Charles and General Eaton had been instructed to make # thorough investiza- tuon; I suggested in the conversation that it seemed strange tliat Mrs. Wiarton, having admitted she had received interest on these Donds in General Ketcbum’s possession, she would contunue to pay on her own acknowledged obiigation ten per ceut interest, wile ber bonds in the creditor's pos- session Were only drawing ve per cent in gold; I said finaliy to Mrs, Wharton, “If, as you inform mie, that $4,000 18 tndispensable to your European trip, then you may ag well abandon it; she then arose vo take leave, and inquired how Mrs. Brice was, and told me to give her iove 60 Mrs. Brice and to say to ber that she regretted ehe had not time to call and sco her that day, adding that perhaps It was a8 Well as It slag et the sight of her mignt be the cause of causing Mrs. Brice iresh griel; this w: tue thira day ouly after General Ketchum’s deach; nee manner, while talking to me, Was cool and seif- possessed, and we separated immediately after tne conversation. EVIDENCE OF MRS. SNOWDEN. Mrs. Snowden was the next witness called to the Stand, and in reply to the questions of the prosecu- tion said—I saw General Ketchum in the cars com- ing from Wasuingtou; was with my huaband, ana ‘Was uliracted by nis good humor; never saw Lim agai; he got into the game street car with us; Mra, Chubb got in also; know Me Wharton; have known her about eighteen Months; had a coliversation wish ber on the Friday alter the General’s death; called to see her at Mr. Van Ness’ request; Mr. Van Ness told me he was so Much better that he hoped she would go to Phily werpla Pat had intended; he asked me to go and tell ial The sald slié Would go wo wasiiugen aturday 4nd put off going to Philadelphia until londay; she remarked to me, “Did you know Generai Ketchum took laudanuid?” and Tsai, “So 1 Dave beard,” she. said he was io the Dabit of taking it carelessly out of the bot- tle without measurin; it; that was all about General Ketchum; she then talked of Mr. Van Ness and hus sickness.

TESTIMONY OF MAJOR BRADLEY. Major Thoinas A. Bradiey, Unitea states army, Was hext called and sworn:—I reside at Washing- von; bave lived there henge years; live there now; knew the late General Ketchuin oiiciaily and socially over eight years, during which time jor seven years was almost dally at the same desk in the War Department; he was there on duty as counsellor to Secretary Stanton, examining miscellaneous War Claims against the government; I first met General Ketchum in December, i861, ai St. Louis, on General Halleck’s staff as acting Inspector General. (Witness gave further details of his acquaintance with General Ketchum and the various Capacities in which he knew him.) In ail this jong and intimate intercourse I never observed anything in his manner or character, habits, dit sition oF temperament which would indicate he was other than a@ close observer of law aud order; morality and bighmindedness were his characteristics; he was of a cheerful disposition; J noticed nothing in the later part of our acquaintance indicative of @ fauure or weak- ening Of his meutal powérs, except what litue absent mindedness in small matters might be char- acteristic Of any man; he was eXtremeiy cautious about the use of dr and 1 never knew him to take meuicine except On @ physician’s prescription except once, when he took some chiorate of potash for @ sore throat; saw hima week pre- vious to bis death at the office; he was then cheerful; he sat down at my desk and wro:e me an amusing note; was robost, erect, sinewy and of elastic step, Major Bradiey was cross-examined but a moment, when Chief Jastice Miller interrupted and said ag it was now three o'clock the Court would adjourn until to-morrow, at ten o'clock, ARMY ORDERS, WaAsHINGTON, Dec. 18, 1871.

MaDRID, Novy. 29, 1871. General Sickles, whom your readers will know has been a widower for some years, arrived in Madrid in July, 1869, the successor of the Hon, J. P, Hale asthe Ambassador of the United Statea, He was accompanied by his venerable and estimable mother and nis charming only daughter. For a long time ne occupied handsome rooms in the Hotel de Russia, im the Carera de San Geronima, which he opened once @ week w a reception of the elite of Madrid society. At these pleasant reunions there gathered Ministers, Senatore, Deputies and public men of all kinds, distinguished writers, painters and artists, There, too, were not wanting the gentle sex, All that Madrid contained “of beauty and of chivalry” was wont to assemble weekly at ‘the Hotel de Russia, and music and dancing became the order of the day. ‘Last year the Generalremoved toa very fine house, No. 12 calle Isabel la Catolica. 4 HISTORIC STREET, ‘This street is very historic, Jt was originally called Calle del Espirita Santo. Suosequently au immense prison was built in it, and there the in- quistion established ita reign and carried on its crueltics, Thousands and thousands entered its gloomy portals to suffer there the rack and torment, and left there but to be burnt alive in the neighbor ing Quemadura de la Cruz or the more pubdhc Plaza Mayor. The street then changed ita name to Calle de la Inquisicion, It afterwards became Calle de Maria Christina, owing to that Queen having inaugurated & museum of mosaics built upon it, Eventually the name of Isabel la Catolica was given to it, In momory of the fact that she was the restorer of the Inquisition in Spain. The old prison is now used as barracks, Tne street is an odd mixture of the past and the present, the ancient and the modern. GENERAL SICKLES’ HOUSB is one of the finest im the street, and it is furnished ‘With extreme good taste and @ luxury proportioned to the position of its occupier, The weekly “recep. tions” are continued there, and bave become the vailes of most renown in Madrid. Amongst the beauties long accustomed to frequent these sulons ‘was one fair Andalusian of more than common “‘her- mosura,” named Carolina Martinez Guerrera, of some twenty summers. Her father, Martinez Guerre- To, Was a distinguished officer in the Spanish army. Dying when she was but young, her mother subse- quently remarried Seior José Creeagn, who has been. to her all that a loving father could be, A close in- timacy sprung up between Miss Laura Sickles and this young lady, who was better known in society by ber bie os name, the t ORitK GIROLINA DE oRERAGH, than by her father’s name of Guerrero. ‘his inti- macy has resulted in the capture of the General's heart, April or May next had been fixed jor the tying of the nuptial knot, but last week the General received an unexpected call to Washington. What the object was, of course, is @ dead secret, which wil come out in due time. Diplomacy often needs reserve, and premature publicity is apt to injure national interests, Many suppose 1% is in connection with the claims of Ameri- can subjects for outrages in Cuba; but whether ‘this be 80 or not there 13 little doubt that Cuba is at the bottom of the summons the Cabinet of Wash- ington have sent for him to pay them a short visit. On receipt of this: call it was decided to celebrate the marniage at once, so that the General coula take bis fair bride with him. The idea was not a bad one, as it will enable nim to prove to his country: men that Spain, with all her fauits and all her backwardness, can produce something better than slave Owners and slavery.

The total ‘Dumber of vessels turned out of the vuilding yards and regis- tered in 1870 was 974, the aggregate tonnage 842,706 tons, in- cluding 4 vessels, of 407 tons, transferred to the British Pos- sessions. Of this total the sailing vessels built were 671, of 117,082 tons, and the steamers 483, representing 295,674. 80 at, although the number of sailing vessels turned out ex- ceeded the number of steamers by 108, the steam tonnage exceeded the sailing tonnage by 108,642 tons, The total num- ber of timber vessels built fn 1870 was 499, of 68,680 tons, against 445 iron vessels, of 971,760 tons, and 30 composite ves- sels, of 12,416 tons, showing that the production of iron and composite tonnage has increased during the year, as com- pared with timber tonnage, in the ratio of nearly five to one. We Gnd that Glasgow turned out. in 1870, 105 vessels of an aggregate tonnage of 81,48) tons; Suderiand, 93 vessels, rep- Tesenting 46,414 tons; Neweastie, 71 vessels, of 48,660; then Liverpool, 63 vessels, of 22,801 tons; then Hull, 84 vessels, of 14,678 tone; then London, 62 vessels, of 10,989 tons, and Stockton, 16 vessels, of 10,742 tons, The remaining porte at which vesses have been built are numerous, but the amount of tonnage turned out at each is smali compared with the production of any one of the seven ports above-mentioned, ‘The pumber and tonnage of vessels bulit mn 1870 in the United Kingdom for foreigners demands o passing notice. The totals under this head were 102 vessels, of 61,651 tons, includ- ing 28 sailing vessels, of 9,429 tons; 70 steamers, of 42,2229 tons, of which two were war vessels, The production in our building yards in a single year of over 840,000 tons of shipping fa 1m iteelf @ fact of great significance, and, to whatever cause ‘orcombination of causes immediately due, affords direct proof of the activity of the carrying trade, and of the antict- pation at least of still farther increase in the employment of shipping. Already the commercial fleet of Great Britain and ber colonies possesses carrying capacity nearly equal to that of the fleets of all the foreign States combined, and the grad- ual tendency is to Increase with the demands of the world's commerce."
