THE WHARTON TRIAL.

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 20.-On the opening
of court this morning, DR.. Donaldson who
testified yesterday as medical expert re-
sumed the stand and was cross examined,
he testified as to the effect poison had on
the human system.
DR.. ]. Harry Thompson, of Washington,
sworn as medical expert, bad been physi-
clan 27 years. A hypothetic case, in all re-
spect, similar to that of Gen. Ketchum, was
submitted to witness for his opinion, wheth-
er death resulted from. natural cause, and
witness said his decided opinion was that it
did not result from natural causes. The
symptoms as read correspond with those he
would expect to follow by repeated doses
of tartar emedc. In the opinion of the
witness laudanum given with tartar emetie
would reduce vomiting and purging.
DIR. Williams, recalled, stated that by
direction of the State officers, he in COM
pany with Drs. Mills and Chew went to
Washington Thursday last and exhumed
tile body Of Ketchum, brought away with
them the liver, kidneys and portions of The
intestines and delivered them to Air. TOney
chemist, for analyzing. la answer TO a
question, the witness stated he had con
versation with Mrs. Wharton ON the even
ing of the 11th of July. On that day he
had ascertained from analysis that poison
had been discovered in the stoeach Of Gen
Ketchum and in tie punch.

Attempted Impeachment Of the Cor

SCDlA anu DOAtH h1 A<Os
COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 20.-Much ex-
element prevailed in the Legislature to-day
over the resolution for the impeachment of
Gov. Scott. The majority is in his favor.
They consider Bowen's statement of an
over issue Of bonds greatly exaggerated, ,and
the persecution of the Governor as malic-
iOus.
Correspondence was introduced by
Jones, c0lored member from Georgetown,
which shows that Bowen himself prevented
the Governor from prosecuting Kempton,
the State financial agent in New York. The
Governor had retained Judge Barrett for
this purpose.
The resolutions of impeachment are to
b. voted down tomorrow.
1t is taid that Gov. Scott has secured
enough votes to insure Bowen's expulsion.
