TIE WHAxros-KErcHuN MURDER TRIAL
Mre. Eileo G. Wharton, widow OF the late
Major IL. Wharton, Of the United States
Army, will be placed on trial in Annapolis,
Nd, to-day, charged with having murdered
General w. Scott Ketchum by poisoning
The case has been removed from Baltimore to
Annapolis on motion Of the prisoners counsel.
The position which Mrs. Wharton has hitherto
held in aristocratic society in Maryland, the
devotion and present sorrow Of her daughter,
the extraordinary charges which are made by
The prosecution, and the srray OF testimony
and counsel which will be presented to the
Court, will render the trial one OF the causes
c,1a5res Of the criminal calendar OF the age.
A synopsis OF the accusations which are made
against Mrs. Wharton, with the main points OF
her defence. are published in the HERALD.

The Connolly Casc-Application for
Decrease Of Bail.


An application Is to be made in the Supreme
Court to-day, either before Judge Learned, in
Albany, or Judge Hogeboom, in Columbia
county, on the part Of ex-Comptroller Con-
molly, for decrease in the amount of bail
fixed by the former in the suit brought by the
Attorney General against the city officials and
contractors alleged to be implicated in the
municipal frauds. 1t is held, ON the part OF
the defendant Connolly that one million dol
lars, requiring sureties to justify in double
that sum, is excessive ball. and as such is
in violation of the constitution. The Court
has, of course, the power Of deciding for
itself whether or not the amount is
Excessive" under the circumstances of
the case, but 1t is certainly
very difficult thing, when brought to practical
test, to obtain sureties who can justify in two
million dollars Of unencumbered real estate.
The real point is whether the interests Of the
people will suffer by reducing the bail to such
sum as will enable the ex-Comptroller to
gain his liberty. The present suit is a
civil one, and is brought only to re-
cover from the defendants the amount
alleged to have been improperly and
dishonesty taken by them from the city
treasury. The bail is required to insure
the appearance Of the defendants in Court on
the action, SO that they may not fly the coun-
try after having disposed Of their property in
such manner as to prevent recovery in case
of judgment for the people. The sureties are
released as soon the defendants appear, and
the bail does not cover any judgment
that may be recovered. The incarceration of
the parties in such case does not subserve
any good end, unless II may be to prevent the
sale or transfer Of their property, and this can
be better accomplished by an injunction such
as has been obtained, although probably at
too late day, In the instance OF William M.
Tweed. In criminal proceedings, where such
gross and Wholesale frauds are charged to
have been committed, any bail might be prop
erly refused, arbitrary as such decision may
appear, provided that the accused be insured
speedy trial. II Is necessary that an
example be made of the men who have
80 shamefully abused the trust conided
In them, and II criminally indicted
no chance should be afforded them Of escap-
ing the punishment due to their crimes by for
feting an amount Of bail that after oil could
be but fraction Of the large aggregate of
their plunder. But, as we have said, the
present suit is a civil one; q judgment, II
obtained. would be paid and no incarceration

THE KU KLUx TRIALS in Columbia, s. c.,
are being heard before mixed juries, in which
the colored element heavily predomnates.
EI-Attorney General Stansbury aud Reverdy

to move the colorcd jurymen, in whose ears
the name Of Ku Klux is associated with
horrors, to have much sympathy for the

narrow stream of the Rio Grande, and the rest
OF the way by an imaginary line. Mexico
is not able to maintain peace and good neigh
borhood, aud every year she is becoming more
and more troublesome and dangerous We
have many other serious complaints against
that turbulent country had we space to enume-
rate them. The bill of indictment ia long
enough and bad enough to call for energetic
measures and for the complete absorption Of
the whole territory from the Arizona line to
Central America.
By the annexation of Mexico we should give
peace to that country. The Mexcans them
selves would soon learn to bless the United
States for the benefit conferred The rich sill
yer, quicksilver, copper, gold aud other mines
would soon be developed in an extraordinary
manner, and the boundless agricultural and
other resources would be brought ont to enrich
both the Mexicans aud our own country. The
different States would become 80 many new
Califoraias in wealth and prosperity under the
rule and enterprise of Americana. Railroads
and the telegraph would penetrate every Sec
ton, and tens Of thousands of our people
would go to the splendid tropical table lands
for health and pleasure. Mexico would rise,
like the phoenix from its ashes. The six or
seven millions of docile and industrious poems
would have new motive for labor, and the
country would blossom as rose. The United
States would have a monopoly Of the silver
and quicksilver productions of the world
besides vast increase to the product of gold,
copper and other minerals. The Isthmus of
Tehuansepec would become ours, besides
number of valuable ports, both in the Pacific
and Gulf Of Mexico. In short, the imagina-
tion would hardly realize all the advantages
to both Mexico and the United States which
annexation would bring. This is the great
question for the administration and the domi-
nant republican party. II is the grandest op-
portunity General Grant could have. What
says the President? Will he make the an
nexation OF Mexico the policy Of dis admin
istration?
The New York herald., 1871-12-04

o. the defendants would follow. We can,
tnereIore' see no reason why the bail should
not be placed at suoh sum as would render
II possible for the defendant to procure bis
sureties, provided tho necessary steps arc
taken to guard against the sale or transfer Of
his property so as to prevent the collection or
Judgment.

Too MANY IRoNs IN THE FIRE. Boss
Tweed" il appears, with the flush times Of the
"Ring," had entered into many enterprises,
including Americus Clubs, sample rooms,
hotels, savings banks, real estate and Croton
water speculations, railroads and newspapers.
Perhaps II was in view of a removal to the
United States Treasury in Washington with
democratic Tammany administration in 1873
that he dipped pretty heavily into the specula-
tion Of newspaper organ at Washington
but having sold out his interest therein-cheap
for cash-we infer that he has abandoned his
grand idea Of taking charge in 1873 Of the
one hundred millions in the United States
Treasury. Because why? Too many irons
in the fire and too much fire for the irons.

KITCHEN GARDEN.

KITCHEN GARDEN.
This month is one of activity in this
department, as the ground is warm
enough for planting m any of the harder
vegetables. Last month we enumerated
some of the standard variety Of vegeta-
bles, these sorts should be ordered of
the seedsmen, if not done already.
The hot beds and cold frames viii need
particular care this month, as neglect
to give air during bright warm day,
may scorch the whole of the plants in a
few hours, so that the labors of the past
month will be entirely lost.
Window boxes ought to have an ex-
posture to the air every mild day to hard
en- the plants so that they will not be put
back when transplanted.
DO not plant beans in the open
ground, until all danger of frost is over
Limas may be planted in hot beds any
time this month.
-Beets may be sown early this month
in rich, fire soil. Their growth is facila-
ted by soaking in warmish water for
twenty-four hours, and then pour off the
water and put in warm place until the
sprouts start rolling in plaster facilitate
sowing. One ounce of seed is enough for
one hundred feet of drill.
Set out cabbage plants from cold
frame as soon as the ground is dry.
Sow seeds in open ground. and as soon
as an inch or two high, sprinkle
with ashes to keep off the cabbage-hea
Treat caulihower the same as cab
bages they out to be planted p feet
apart in the rows.
Sow celery seed in the hot-bed this
month"; and when the plants are an inch
or two high, transplant to frame and
set three inches apart.
-Cress must be sown for succession
in drills ten inches apart, and at inter-
walls of week or ten days.
Egg plants ought to be several inch
es high by tins time transplant to anoth-
err hot bed with gentle heat, and use
great care to prevent their becoming
| chilled
The earlier horse radish is planted,
the better growth will it make. Set out
the small roots which have been pre-
served during the winter in sand. This
crop needs large application of manure
to secure the best results. The roots
should be about two Inches long, and sci
out in rows from eighteen inches to two
feet apart.
Sow in hot-bed the same as egg
