There is much discussion in Republican

Committee to investigate fully, with a
view to report to Congress which is the le-

The views of the Government of the
United States, in regard to the vacillating
course of Spain, concerning emancipation
and other reforms, as set forth in letter
from Secretary Fish to General Sickles,
our Minister at Madrid, have been made
public. The United States complains at
the tardiness of Spain, and instructs Cen
eral Sickles to press The grievances of this
Government strongly, as longer delay on
the part of the Spanish Government

Mrs. WhartOn's Trial.

The trial of Mrs. Elizabeth G.. Wharton,
indicted for attempting to poison Eugene
Van Ness, IN the month of June, 1871
was commenced in the Circuit Court of
Anne Arundel county on the 9Th inst.
It viii be remembered that Mrs. Whar-
ton was indicted at the same time June,
1871 in the Criminal Court of Baltimore
city for poisoning, killing, and numbering
General w. Scott Ketchum, of the United
States army. The trial on the latter in
dictment, the case having been removed
from Baltimore to Anne Arundel county,
was commenced at Annapolis December 4,
1871, and after prOtracted and arduOus
session of the court, was concluded Janu-
ary "a, 1872, the jury rendering a verdict
of "not guilty"
Owing to the high social position of the
prisoner, who is the widow of the late Ma
ior Harry w. Wharton, United States ar
my, and the circumstances attending the
death of General Ketchum, who was an
intimate friend of the family, and on q
visit to Mrs. Wharton when seized with
the illness which terminated in his death,
the trial was one of peculiar and absorbing
interest throughout the country.
While General Ketchum lay i'll at Mrs.
Wharton's house
MIR. EUGENE VAN NESS,
a clerk in the banking house of Alexander
Brown & Sons, and an intimate friend of
Mrs. Wharton, called to spend the even-
ing. Shortly after his arrival Van Ness
partOok of glass of beer or ale proffered
by Mrs. Wharton. and in brief time was
taken sick, and remained sick in her house
for several days. The indictment charges
Mrs. Wharton with administering tartar
emetic and other deadly poisons to Van
Ness on the 10th, Goth, and Oath days of
June, 1871, in beef tea, milk punch, &c.
The penalty for such offense is confine-
ment in the penitentiary for not less than
two, nor more than ten years.
On inquiry from the court, State Attor-
ney Revell replied that he was ready on
the part of the State to proceed with the
trial of Mrs. Wharton, and the counsel for
the defense said they were also ready.
The prisoner, who was present in court,
is in much better health than during her
previous trial. BY her side was her daugh-
ter Nellie, and her faithful friends, Mrs. j.
Crawford Nelson and Miss Rosa Nelson,
who were her constant attendants during
her trial for the murder of Gen. Ketchum.

The Poll Tax Question.

Article I'd, section 2Sth of the coIstitu-
ton of 1870, says: 'Nor shall any county
or corporation levy poll-tax creeeding
the amount levied by the State. Now, the
State fixed the poll-tax for 1872 at fifty
cents. Knox county, following the eonsti-
tuition, fixed it also at fifty cents, but our
wise City Fathers, so learned in the law on
the poll-tax question, fixed the corporation
poll tsx, not at fifty cents what the State
had fixed its tax at, but at one dollar in
the face Of the constitution. Now, if the
city attorney, in his wisdom, advises the
City Fathers to require poll>tax to be paid
before the voters of Knoxville can say who
shall be their Mayor and Aldermen, then
they will have to pay this illegal and un-
constitutional tax levied by the corpora
ton, or they are disfranchised. 'See how
the old thing works."

The Renovation of Soils.

y correspondent of the american Farm
cr, writing on this subject, says:
The renovation of our worn out and
tired lands is matter of no little impor-
tance to farmers in this section of country.
We all have lands, not worn out, but
tired down by continual cropping, and we
also have lands that may be said to be
worn out since they are no longer pro-
ductive. We now want the best and
cheapest plan of renOvating these lands,
80 as to grow remunerative crops. To do
this we must have our lands charged
with a good supply of vegetable matter
to make the land lively and productive.
This can only be obtained by the turning
under of green crops, and afterward ju-
diciOus rotation of crops. In doing this
we can only cultivate what lands we can
manure well, or such as have not been
exhausted. So long as we cultivate broad
acres of poor land, We shall have such to
the worn lands in the fall; break thor
oughly and subsoil ; in the spring plow
again and sow to peas about the first of
June and harrow them in. Turn under
the peas in September aud sow to rye,
and pasture through the winter with
sheep; the second spring turn under rye
at proper time and again SOW to peas,
these in turn to be plG9ed in September,
then in October 10y sowing one bushel of
wheat and thirty bushels of cotton seed
per acre, and narrowing in well with clo
yer seed lightly narrowed in the spring,
you are ready for q judicious system of
rotation of crops, say cotton, corn, wheat
and clover. If lime can be procured at
reasonable prices, it should be used where
green crops are turned under.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Our County Court
is just over and We had quits an interest
ing time, there being county Judge to
elect to fill the vacancy occasioned by the
resignation of Hon. J. ]. Duncan, who has
Just taken his seat in the Legislature. Sey-
eral very excellent men presented their
claims, but the election resulted in the
choice of Hon. J. NJ. Cordell as Judge of
the Scott County Court, gentleman well
qualified for the position. T. J. Lloyd,
Esq. was elected Tax Collector, and r.
Pemberton, ESD, YVES elected Commission
er of Revenue. Altogether it was the most
lively and interesting court we have had
for several years.
Sarah Mcdonald, q Revolutionary pen
sioner, who resided about two miles from
our town, died on yesterday, having az
rived at the great age of l25 years. She
recollected we'll when the Declaration of
Independence was made, and the many
battles of the Revolutionary war. Few
persons now live who saw our nation in
her infance. Perhaps she was the oldest
person in East Tennessee, and was one of
the few Revolutionary pensioners in the
United States. Very truly yours,
