Another clerk testified to the manufacture of of the law, while his fame will be as execrable as that Captain Kidd’s, whose piratical adven- tures ‘as he’ sailed,’’ form the theme of the popular sailor's song. Mrs. Wharton on Trial Again, About a year ago Mrs. Ellen 0. Wharton hada long and hotly contested trial for her life at Annapolis, Md., on an indictment for murder, charging her with having killed Gen- eral Ketchum, late of the army, by poison, in her own house, where he was taken suddenly ill, and died after having been nursed by the prisoner. On that trial the State proffered the whemical testimony of Professor Aikin, which ‘was contradicted by the opinion of other ex- and Mrs. Wharton was found not guilty. ince then, during last Summer, this same’ (Professor Aikin was a principal witness to prove poisoning against Dr. Schoeppe in his trial for murder at Carlisle, Pa., when hhis chemical deductions were again rejected nnd the prisoner acquitted..

So far three days haye been occupied in motions to quash the indictment and its several counts, and in taking exceptions to the rulings of ‘the Court, preparatory to an appeal to the Superior Court if desirable. To-day, probably, the jury will be empanelled. Pro- fessor Aikin’s chemical testimony will be a main feature of the present case for the prose- | cution, and no doubt the defence will call wit- messes to countervail it. Great interest at- taches to the trial from the position which the prisoner has occupied in society. PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE. General J. B. Stonehouse, of Albany, is at the Astor House. Ex-Governor J.

It is reported that a meeting of Bonapartists is to be held at Chiselhurst for the purpose of de- liberating on the course to be pursued in the event Of the death of the ex-Emperor of France.

" Lonvon, Jan. 8, 1873, The carriages of the aristocracy besieged the residence of Napoleon at Chiselhurst this afternoon to receive the three o'clock bulletin.

NATIONAL TRADE TRANSACTIONS IN THE YEAR 1872— PROFITS AND LOSSES IN THE GREAT STAPLES. Extracts from the yearly circulars of prominent English brokers say the cotton trade was not so good in 1872 as in the previous year, and the rates obtained were not even remunerative. Spinners and manufacturers commence the new year well under contract. Business for the present will be mainly influenced ,by the quantity of imperts, and the present scarcity is likely to be tided over with- out any enhancement of prices. As to the sugar trade, it is stated that the con- sumption of 1871 by Europe and the United States was increased in 1872 by about two and a half per cent. It isexpected that the new crep will be at least fourteen per cent better tham the last, while stocks are accumulating and depreciation in prices 1s certain. In regard to the timber trade, it is said that the forests which are being cleared for supplies grow continually further from the seaports, and an en- hancement in prices is probable. The petroleum trade is in a satisfactory condi- tion, and business is certain to increase, Legisla- tion, nowever, is required, as English merchants are only allowed to import oil inflammable at 120 degrees, while thoge of the Continent can import it only 110 degrees. ‘The weol trade is in an unsatisfactory state, The imports, for the first time in its history» have fallen off. The deficit has evidently gone to the United States. =~ RATE OF DISCOUNT AT THE BANK AND ON THE STRERT. An apprehended reduction in the Bank of-Eng- Jand rate te-morrow is discounted in the opera- tions in the open market to-day. * The rate of discount for three months bills in the regular market is 5 per cent below the Bank of Eugiand rate.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Paria, Jan. 8, 1873. Telegrams from Versailies report that the French National Assembly was engaged this evening in the discussion of a bill from the Superior Council of Education. The Deputies of the Left made a vigorous attack upon what they termed the reactionary composi- tion of the Council, which, it was said, was made up of clericals who were “unpatriotically aubserv- tent to Rome.” These expressions occasioned a commotion on the floor, which was put an end to by the adjourn- ment. Bishop Dupanloup will speak in the debate to- morrow. LEGISLATIVE PARTY DISSOLUTION, A meeting of the members of the Left Centre in the National Assembly was held to-day to gelect a chairman.

Meeting of a Democratic Caucus—Aspi- rants to the National Senate—Blair and Phelps Not in Attendance—Gover- mor Woodson Inaugurated—A Grand Policy Marked Out for the People of the State. Sr. Louis, Jan, 8, 1673. A meeting of the democratic Senators and Rep- resentattves was held in Jefferson City last night. After some discussion a committee was appointed to draw up rules for ghe caucus, thé committee to report on Friday night. Senatorial aspirants hav- ing been invited to address the meeting, Colonel L. V. Bogg and ex-Governor Reynolds, of St. Louis; Colonel George C. Vest, of Sedalia; Judge Napton and General Edwards made speeches, expressing their views on national affairs, Neither Senator Blair nor General Phelps was present, both being too sick to attend. ‘There is a prospect of @ large railroad lobby at Jefferson City this Winter, @ great part of which will be attracted by a bill which will soon be intro- duced to establish a Board of Railroad Commis- sioners, GOVERNOR WOODSON’S INAUGURATION, Governor Woodsow was inaugurated at Jefferson City to-day, and read his message. During the FORBIDS eee guns were fired in commemora- tion of Jackson's victory at New Orleans. The Gov- ernor’s inaugural opens by saying that in Novem- ber last the people of Missouri, ror the first time during the last decade, elected without let or hinderance the men of their choice as officers of the government. He then refers to complaints which have been made against those who have moulded and shaped the policies of the recent past in Missouri, carrying proscriptive partisanship into the enactment and enforcement of the laws, and says that unless we adopt a differ- ent policy the same evil results will jollow us that have fellowed those who preceded us. He strongly appeals to the mp! to sink ‘the isan in the patriot and legislate only for the common good, and ledges himself that while he is Governor the in- terests, honor and prosperity of the Stave will alone control his official acts, He discusses the Constitutional Convention question at consider- able length, and while admitting that the present constitution contains many objectionable features, he op} d a convention as 8 remedy for the evil. He says the republican party and liberal republi- cans of the State are opposed to the convertion; also a great many of the most intelligent, prudent and sagacious democrats. Therefore a convention would be partisan, and a constitution should never be framed by partisans or for partisan ends. He also opposes the measure from an economical standpoint. He then proposed a committee or beard of con- stitutional revisers, consisting of five or seven of the most distinguished citizens of the State, te be chosen by the joint vote of both houses or appoint- ed by the Governor, ‘who shall meet in the capital at once and take the whole matter into considera- tion, prepare such amendments to the constitution as OY Seniended by the people and perfect the nic law. ‘he Governor devotes considerable space to the penitentiary question and recommends the cre- ation ofa board of managers, who shall have en- tire control of the State ion and be responsible to the State for the management of its affairs. He also thinks this Board should largely control all prisons and jails in the State as wellas insane asylums and all benevolent institutions which are supported by the State. He alludes tothe great cost to the State and county of criminal cases, and asserts that thousands of dollars are annually stolen from the Treasury in making the cost of bilis by Sheriffs and County Clerks, and recom- mends the passage of a law declaring that no costs in criminal or penal cases shall be paid out of the State or County Treasury. After hitomi upon the subject of education, extra sessions and a few peda local matters, the Governor closes as fol- jOwS -— The eyes of the nation are upon us. All the power in Missouri, and in every department of the government is im the hands of the democratic pad Such is the case in few other States in the merican Union. Our political enemies at home and adroad will scrutinize all our acts and take advantage of every error we may commit. Wecan ae our power only in one way, and that is yy doing Tight and showing by our works that we, a8 a party’ have been earnest im our pledges of economy and reform. Let us calmly pursue the line of policy T have indicated, and never be driven trom it by menaces of enemies, persuasion of Iriends or the seductive influence of individual ambition, and as may rest assured that Heaven will bless and the people approve of our course.

Tou ONTO, Ontario, Jan. 8, 1873, The second sessiomo) the Parliament of Ontario was opened to-day with the following speech from the Lieutenant Governot:— MR, SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF THE LEOISLA- TIVE ASSEMBLY—I rejoice that in meeting you again. to deliberate om the affairs of the Province, Tam able tocongratulate vou on the continued prosperity which the province has enjoyed during the past year. We have now ad six years’ expe- faeetonwhick Wha" profs 'sp"Gppu” Suds whic! opie r frankly accepted and trom whiol the; , an Much advantage; and I am: confident you will agree with me that their expectations have been fully realized. In some of its de- tails the act of union may have done less than justice to this Province, and inci- dents to be r tied may have occurred, a8 the first estabil ent of all new constitutions, hd the general effect on the local affairs of Ontario as been eminently beneficial, The administration of our local affairs is now in our own hands, and our-revenue has enabled us, without taxation, not only to deiray all the charges of the Previncia government and to afford essential aid numer- ous raliway enterprises and other public works and improvements, but also to accumulate a surplus, now amounting to more than four million. dollars. The Polley to ursued with reference to the Seapine: will do enga, your attention during the present session. I ‘that the exist- ence of this tund will enable you to place on.2 satis- factory footing the debts gang © the municipal loan fund, and at the same time to do justice to the rest of the province. Iearnestly recommend to your attention such measures for these purposes as May be laid before ras The works on nearly all the railroads, to which during the last session you a a of giving aid, have been prosecuted with SOME OF THE RAILWAYS have been so far completed that they are now open for traffic, and extensive sections of the country have by means of your grants secured permanent railway facilities, which already exercise a most salutary influence on industrial enterprise. The claims of other railways will be presented to yoa during the present session. I hope it will be found that, witnout any unhealthy stimulus being given to railway enterprise and without any unwise ex- penditure on the part of municipal corporations, every part of the province may at no distant Period obtain raulway facilities adapted to ita re- quirements, The benefits which have arisen from aiding the drainage of swamp and wet iands in different parts of the province point to the advisability of your considering further provisions for bringing by this means into profitable cultivation an extended area of valuable lands. IMMIGRATION, * In the recess I have adopted additional means for promoting increased immigration ef agricultu- ral laberers and others into the Province, and I am happy to say that | have reason to believe that the means taken will have valuable results during the ensuing season. 2 I recommend to your careful consideration meas- ures which will be laid before you for the improve- ment of our educational institutions by previding additional means for obtaining a sufficient number of competent, trained teache ving increased efficiency to the Council of Public Instruction, and making various amendments which experience has shown to be desirable in our school laws; bills for the consolidation of the public and high school laws; @ bill for regulating the Technological Col- lege, for which the Legislature has already made poe and a bill for giving to graduates of the -ovincial University direct influence in its man- agement and other educational measures to which your attention will be called. THE DEAF AND DUMB. Measures for the management of the Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb and of the Asylum for the Blind will be submitted for your consideration. No provision has hitherto been made for the be tidh of idiot and imbecile children, a class which, I regret to learn, is numerous-enough to re- quire on the pee of the Legislature the same at- tention which has alre: een uselully given to other afflicted classes of the populatien, expe- lence in other countries having shown that by la means the condition of these children may greatly ameliorated. Icommend their case to your humane consideration. HABITUAL DRUNKARDS, Irecommend to your attention the propricty of adding to the institutions under government care an inebriate asylum, where those unfortunate per- sons who, by long indulgence-in habits of intem- perance have lost their self-contrel, may have the opportunity of being restored by proper restraints an ACL ecaged to she pesition of useful members of society. There will likewise be submitted fer your atten- tion measures for promoting a better aaministra- tion of justice in the courts of the Province, for giving increased efficiency so the law for the trial ef contreverted elections, and for beapeettio Sal | and amending the laws relative to our mupicipal {nstitutions. + THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN BOUNDARIES. Since we last met negetiations have taken place between the Dominion government and myself on the subject of the northern and western boundaries of the Prevince. The cerrespondence will be laid before you. Meanwhile I have directed investiga- tions to be made which were necessary to the es- tablishment of the rights of Ontario, and a mass of the evidence im favor of the boundaries claimed by Ontario has been accumulated which will, I nope prove abundantly suMcient to secure a favorable result. The government ef Quebec still maintains its objections to the award of the arbitrators ap- pointed under the act of the Confederation for the settlement of ail questions between the two Provinces, and the government of the Dominion = having declined to Nee > a! the award until its validit shall determined by some competent tribunal, I have endeavered to expedite the preliminary proceedings necessary to bring the matter before ihe Privy ‘Gounell in Eng. land. Some progress to this end has been made, and I hope that no obstacle will be found to pre- vent a satisfactory decision being arrived at aur. ing the present-year. A joint committee has been appointed for ear the boundary between one and Quebec, and have commenced opera- ons. THE PUBLIC TREASURY AND FINANOFS. Thave given directions that the public accounts shall be laid before you. You will learn with satis- faction that the revenue for the past year was in excess of the sum estimated ; that the expenditure has falien short of the amount anticipated; that considerable addition has in consequence been made to the accumulated surplus previously on hand. The estimates for the present year will be submitted to. you. You will find that they have beem framed with every regard to economy com- patible with the etficiency of the public service. I now leave you to your impo! t duties, in full confidence that i Will apply yourselves to the performance of them with patriotism and earnest- bess.

Pinchback Explains the Whole Difficulty. . The Fight Between President Grant and Warmoth. “PURELY PERSONAL” Grant's Ambition—Not an Emperor, but a Washington. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 8, 1873. This evening's Picayune reports that Lieutenan€ Governor Pinchback in an interview said:— “You see, I am bound to live here im this city. T have a home here: and plenty ot friends. If F went anywhere else 1 would not know what to do, and it is, therefore, I think, to the twterests’ of the .People to help me along, because I cxmnot but help them. Thesd last fights of mine against the Cus- tom House Kingon the Senate question have rather made them show their hand to celor, and, if it Were possible, f believe the colored peapie might be induced. to form a coalition wita the true, honest, native white people of tive State and oves throw all this chicanery and tricks of the CUSTOM HOUSE RING. After giving his opinion as to how the present complication might have been avoided, Mr. Pinch- back continued :— “A programme has been arranged and will be carried out by the United States government. They intend to recognize only our government, and um less prevented by Congress will carry it out tothe bitter end. Therefore an outside body calling itself a Legislature has no chance to succeed unless it can prevail upon Congress to send a committee of investigation, when the whole facta will be laid before them, and they can then decide which is right, The interest that General urant takes in THE FIGHT IS PURELY OF A PERSONAL, NATURE. He does not care, one cent what people say against him now, as he has reached the height of his ambition in being elected President for a second term. Itisa mistake made by many to suppose that GENERAL GRANT WANTS TO BE EMPEROR, He only desirea to be considered a sort of a second General Washington.. Washington was victorious, you know, in a great rebellion; 80 was Grant. Washington was elected two terms; 80 was Grant. Now he is satisfied. He has not got the ambition and tact to make & great revolution like that which would be required, and if he had the people of the country would not submit. The real cause of General Grant's interest in the matter lies in his personal enmity against Warmoth, whom he considers one of his bitterest enemies. You know how he has abused him. Well, Grant never forgives an insult like that, and as long as he thinks the people of this State support Warmoth he will be opposed to them. He really DOES NOT HIMSELF UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION. He believes that it is Warmoth’s fight to get to the United States Senate, so he can fight him. Naturally enough, he opposes this, and men here have taken advantage of it to place the present government in power. Why, you cannot imagine - what a poor opinion the people of the North have of us, and it is keptalive, day by day, by the out- ous statements of white republicans and others,, who say that it ‘ im; for a white man or negro to in this city unless he pretends that he is a democrat or has democratic friends. By this you will see that the sympathies of the people of the Nortn are against us, and as long as we make any disturbance at all it is at once cried out that the South is still in rebellion. Now, you see, what I want to do is this—I desire to do right to the peo ple of this State. Iam the REPRESENTATIVE OF THE COLORED MEN of this State, the South and the Union, and as such have strength with the republican party. As Iwas born here, live here and have my wife and children and my property here, I only desire to be allowed @ chance—a fair, open chance—and I will show how 1am and can be a true triend of our people. There is @ great and mighty change going®n in this coun- try to-day which fewsee, and yet initi know there is A DISSOLUTION of the great Southern radical republican party, composed.of negroes lea by Northern white men. since the war been opposed to the resident white men, because they have hardly been allowed othe: e. But the time is comi and ce replay. when the white and the blac prepie of the South will be united in bonds of unity In as far as their several positions lie, and when Be time comes it is my only hope that the people Ww GIVE ME A OHANCE to tad the rest of the colored people @ chance, and we will be with you all in fairness and honesty of dealing. It willbe bound to come some ory. and the sooner the better for the South and it people.”” Burnett’s Miniature Totlets.—Elegant ASSORTED COLORED BO; with clearing weather during the afternoon and evening.
