THE WHARTON TRIAL.
Chemical DOuhtS.

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 29.-In the Wharton
case this merning Prof. r. l. McCullock
was called. He is one of the Professors in
Washington and Lee University % teach
natural philosophy and chemistry as ap-
piled to metaliurgy. He made chemical
analyses three or four years ago for the gov
ernment, and was chemist for the Confed-
crate government. He heard the tetimony
of Prof. Aiken in regard to his analysis of
the contents of Ketchum's stomach, and
also read bis report to the prosecuting at
torney. In my judgment the tests proved
by Prof. Aiken to have been made by him
self are insufficient to establish the presence
of antimony. l consider Prof. Aiken's an
alysis radically defective. In order to es-
tablish the presence of antimony it is abso-
lutely necessary to get the metal
itself, and by test after test prove
that It is really antimony. The
quantity operated with should be sufficient
to be subjected to all these tests, to preclude
the possibility of its being anything else. l
consider the Aiken analysis radically defec-
tive, because he did not get the metal, but
operated on substance more or less mixed
with organic matter which would render
tests fallacious. Ii Aiken had been opera
ting on the metal, and knew it to be such,
his test would constitute very strong
probability that it was antimony, but not
absolute certainty, because, as new
metals are constantly discovered in chemis-
try, it would be possible that if chemist
passed metal it might contain three
properties, and yet fail in another
property which belongs to aptimony. In
any case / consider it necessary to go be-
yond these tests, in cases, such as that of a
chemist operating ON the contents of a
stomach containing substances of organic
kinds, which it has had for years, for such
reasons as these of Aiken may prove en-
tirely fallacious. The witness explained
that the tests referred to were those Of Aiken
and said they did not prove the presence of
antimony, because other substances give
the same result. have made experiments
with reference to this peculiar case for the
purpose Of initiating as closely as possible
what was supposed to be the contents of
Ketchum's stomach, and obtained red
preeipitate which might be readily mistaken
for antimony. ] did this in Lexington and
repeated it here with similar result in the
presence of Drs. Reese and Gentks.
B In answer to question, witness said: In
my judgment the analysis of Profs. Aiken
and Toney did not prove the presence of
antimony or of any poisonous substance
whatever in Gen. Ketchum's stomach, and
in my mind only served to prove the pres
ence in bis stomach of medicines given him
by order of DIR. Williams.
The cross-examination of this witness
was commenced, in which he stated that
the tests used by him were not similar in
all particulars to those used by Aiken. He
was being examinad rigidly as to bis knowl-
edge of the color tests when the court ad-
journed.

The New York Stn, anti Grant Repubk-
can paper, thinks that the return Of Gen.
Sickies minister to Saain, at this particula
juncture, means war. We confess that we
have as yet been unable to divine the cause
Of Gen. Sickles' unexpected return to the
United States. Still we are scarcely pre-
pared TO believe that it means war, unless
1is new Spanish wife has large Cuban es
tate. If SO, then it may be so. Neverthe-
yiess the usually well posted Sun says or
this subject:
II means war. Would declaration OF
fwar against Spain by the United States be
fpopular? All of our wars heretofore,
Y whether more or less righteous, have seemed
10 be acceptable to majority of the people.
$Of course such a war would be a great
drain upon the resources of the nation, ad-
ding enormously to our debt and oppres-
ksiyely increasing our taxes; but many
Especial interests would profits by war, and
&bey viii be active and jealous in promoting
DTS declaration. Even the knot of spectators
1who, in opposition to the general welfare,
Bare interested in raising the present low
{price of gold would make their voice heard
snd their influence felt In such crisis.
tAnd what an army of contractors would
Rise up to ciamor for it
u It Is always easy to decry those who op-
pose any war as wanting in patriotism.
: Little as Gen. Grant says, he could say this.
And now, what prophet is bold enough to
7redict that It will be outside the limit Of
sessibiIties-aye, beyond the range of prob
'S1 ~. ilities--that war with Spain will yet

At al events Gen. Grant knows what

HORSE NOTES.-THE FASTEST TROT.
TER In THE WORLD.

DIR. Price, of Lexington, KY, has the
fastest yearling trotter in the world. This
prodigy few weeks ago trotted one mile,
in harness, in three minutes and twelve
seconds, in presence of several gentlemen
of veracity. The colt was sired by K. C.
Barker's trotting stallion Ericsson, the dam
being mare by Pilot. If proper care is
taken with this colt, and the forcing process
ignored, he ought to grow into clipper
whose like has never been seen. But we
are afraid that the owner will want a too
rapid development Of speed, in which case,
most likely, the colts legs and lungs will be
destroyed before he reaches maturity
common occurrence nowadays. The
sire of the above colt, Ericsson, when we
saw him in Detroit four years ago, was one
Of the most substantial horses that our eyes
ever beheld, and we are told that he is still
in Vigorous health. He is now in Kentucky
the right horse in the right place. Erics-
son has a record of 2:30a when four years
old.
A special meeting of the Board of Ap-
peals of the National Association for the
promotion of the interests of the American
trotting turf will be held at the Everett
House in this city On Wednesday next,
9th inst.
The great inaugural post stake opened by
the Louisiana Jockey Club will close on the
first day of January. 1t is two mile heats
for all ages, 500 each, play or pay, and
$500 added by the club; the first horse to
receive $500, the second $3.50, and the
third $3.50 out of the stakes. Three or
more will fill, and the race to be run on the
first day of the inaugural meeting, April Is.

FIENDISHNESS EXPIATED.
Norwood, the Murderer Of Miss Hsls.
Lynched for HIS Crime

The Washington (Arks.) Telegraph pub
fishes the confession of Robert Norwood.
who murdered Miss Mollie Holt, near Pins
Grove, Hampstead county, Arkansas. He
said that between himself and Miss holt
there had long existed matrimonial en-
gagement, and that on account OF rs op-
position of her relatives, ceasGrefaation
of the engagement had been prevented
that on the day Of the killing be had met
her at the house Of Mrs. Nelson, where she
was spending the day, and had a long talk
upon the subject-she persistently refusing
to marry him contrary to the wishes or her
relatives; that when be left the house OF
Mrs. Nelson be had determined to make An
other effort, and for this purpose waited on
the roadside for her return to her Mothers
When she came he attacked her, andsbe still
persisting in her refusal to marry him, be
fired upon her four times, then beat her
brains out with the butt of the pistol, and
started off; but fearing that there might
still be life enough in her to expose him, he
returned and cut her throat When the
discovery was made and the alarm given,he
went with the grief stricken mother, and
wept with the mother over the ruin he him
self had wrought. On Sunday morning,
Dec. "a while Norwood was being watched
and guarded, we understand that about one
hundred armed men forced the guard, took
the now desperate man 10 conyenient
limb, and there hung him by the neck until
he was dead, dead, dead. And thus ended
the most horrible tragedy that we have ever
been called upon to chronicle. It is proper
that we should state that the young man
Norwood is Of respectable family, and has
himself been generally regarded heretofore
as a worthy and deserving young man.

PROTECTION In FRANCE.

President Thiers, In his message to the
Ianeral Assembly at Versailles on the eth
st, recommended revision and modif-
.stion of the commercial treaty between
rance and England. he did not propose
o abrogate the treaty, but simply to revise
In such manner as 10 give moderate
rotecfion to certain French manufactures,
.lnae adding to the nsuronn reven..v. uIs
recommendation is TO raise the tariff from
hree per cent to five per cent on cotton,
inen and wooden yarns and webs, and from
...elye per cent TO eighteen per cent on fab
"A of mixed cotton and wool. The Thiers
gument is that this is one of the results
the war; at any rate it speaks most eio-
,ently Of the extent Of the disasters which
i've almost prostrated the energies of the
alton. Previous to the war France was
se rival of Great Britain for the trade Of
he world, and French fabrics were as noted
their cheapness as for their ele-
.,nce and finish. There was no
eed then 10 erect Chinese wall
gainst the commerce OF other lands.
Ter arts and manufactures required no pro-
.sctive policy to stimulate them with hot
rbed growth, and the nation was prosperous.
s3ut the terrible contest with Germany
trained her of her resources and has bur-
dened her with an oppressive debt. Her
artisans and manufactures thus encumbered
tcannot compete, in the view of the French
President, with their British rivals, and their
weakness is evinced by this appeal for pro-
lection.
They do not ask for much, but if their
request is granted, they will soon demand
more. The horse leech is not more insatia-
DE than the protectionist, and his cry Of
sgive, give" increases with every concession
that is made him. If the General Assem-
bly, adopt Mr.. Tbiers' recommendations,
they take the first step in the ruinous policy
which has driven our fleets from the seas
and robbed our people to fill the pockets Of
\ few monopolists. 1t is plain that,
II the French people can buy
cheaper from the British manufacturers
than from their own, other nations win
discover the same fact, and profit by it.
Thss will begin the decline Of the commerce
Of France, and continuation Of the medi-
eval policy Of protection will give her for
,eign commerce to Great Britain. 1t is
law of trade, the truth of which has been
suply demonstrated to the world by the
experienea of all commercial nations.

TIE New York World expresses the
opinion that the desperate illness and the

seem likely to furnish new chapter in
medical as well as political history. The

BY alcoholic stimulation. In ths present
