Fisk and Stokes were both ParamoWs of
Miss Mansfield Fisk was first acquainted
with Mansfield and had her confidence the
longest. After becoming acquainted with
STOKES She gave him the preference. Fisk
being unwilling to be supplanted, used all his
abillty to regain Mansfield preference and to
break down Stokes. Once he had Stokes
arrested on Saturday night aud kept him in

Stokes had Fisk arrested. In lawsuits, Fisk,

Mansfield and Stakes had both been on the

Mrs. Wharton's trial at Annapolis, Md for
the murder of General Ketchum is still in
progress. The prosecution undertook to
show that MRS. Wharton poisoned Gen.
Ketchum by giving him tartar emetic in his
medicine, and that tartar emetic was found
in the contents of Gen. Ketchum's stomach
and also in his liver, as we'll as in the bot
tom Of the tur1bler from which the medicine
was given. Prof. Aiken and his assistant
testified to finding tartar emetic in the con-
tents Of the stomach and in the liver, and
also in the bottomofthe umbler. But the
defence has shown that the analysis wasim
perfect and unreliable and that it did not
prove the presence of tartar emetic. The
defence has also shown that Gen. Ketchum's
symptoms were not those of poisoning from
tartar emetic and were those of cerebro-
spinalit:s, The prosecution has failed to
make out a case of poisoning from tartar
emetic or anything else, and the defense has
succeeded in showing that it was a case of
disease and probably of cerebro-spinalitis.
What rebutting testimony may be brought
up, or what support may De given to the
prosecution, is-not certain. Two things how
ever are quite certain. The prosecution can
never make Gen. Ketchum's symptoms, as
testified to by his physicians, those of
poisoning from tartar emetic 8, nor can they
remove the doubt as to Prof, Aiken and his
assistant finding tartar emetic by their
analysis, not to say the certainty that they
did not. And, as consequences, Mrs.
Wharton will be acquitted and ontgh to be-,
REPORT OF, THE HOSPITAL FOR THE IN,
sANE.-We have received from A. S.
McDilL Superintendent, his report to the
Trustees and Sac Yepor5 Of the Trustees
to the Governor, Of the Hospital Tor the
Insane at Madison, for the year ending
September Both 1871. The reports are
important documents aud worthy of care
full consideration. The best methods of
treating and taking care of the insane are
act yet fully established. And proVi-
sion is not yet made for all the insane of
the State, and the important question is
yet to be decided what provision remains
to be made. We are of the opinion that
the tendency has been and still is to
place too many in one hospital or asylum.
But reaction has commenced. A pro-
position has already been made by q
trustee of one of the large asylums of
Massachusetts to sell the large asylum
ana make other provisions for the insane.
Let our legislators be careful now not to
do what it may become necessary to nndo
in few years hence. g~a -

is not a much n the ratio in France and
the same as in England, where money ia
loaned at q per cent. If we have too much
money for our needs, and can not make

3 and 65-l00 Of one per cent.
Ii is proposed to tax the people TO restore
the commercial marine. Eastern capitalists
say they cannot compete with English ships.
England can build ships cheaper, and carry
across the ocean at lower rates. Why Be
cause English ship owners are satisfied with
81 per cent. profit after paying running
expenses and insurance, while American
capitalists want per cent.
There is plank in the Columbus plat
form on prison reform. When a convict is
sent to the Penitentiary he is required To
learn trade, so that he may, after he has
served his time return home, associate among
honest mechanics and support his family.
Convicts should be put to that for which
they are best fitted, and if this were done,
perhaps as many lawyers, doctors and
preachers would be finished at the Peniten-
tiary as any one else When a man or boy
goes to the Penitentiary he should learn
what he chooses, but his labor should not
be hired out upon contract. The reform
proposed is for the State to work the con
victs, and after paying all expenses, give to
each convict at the end of the year one hall
the net profit Of his labor.
Other subjects were referred to, but we
have not space to notice them. At the
close Of the speech, an expression Of the
sense Of the meeting on the Columbus
platform was taken, and it was heartily and
unanimously endorsed.
