His Personal Appearance and Re cord. [ St. Louts Globe-Democrat. 8th. ] Except the trial of Aaron Burrand theimpeacbmentof President John son , no more imoortant trial has 'been held in theJJriited States since the century began than that which was virtually commenced yester day. But there are many points of contrast between those and this. Aaron Burr , an ex-Vice-Presldent , had to answer at Richmond to an accusation of an attempt to estab lish a private empire of his own in territory which the genius of the .American people had long before marked out as a peculiar province. He was acquitted after a long and tedious trial , but few of his unpreju diced cotemporaries doubted his guilty desire to accomplish ; the am bitious aim imputed to him An drew Johnson came within the peril of the law by an Impeachment which accused him of using the powers of his high office for the pur pose of defeating the expressed will of a people who bad but a few years before poured out their blood and treasure to maintain the integrity of the Union. He , also , was acquit ted ; but-by a yery small majority. Both of these men stood accused of crimes whose very grandeur is calculated to rob them ot half their enormity lu theeyes of the unthink ing multitude , and many partisans were made for both by the magni tude of their treasonous ambitions. Iu the trial of General BabcocK ; the defendant has none of these meretricious advantages. A brave and faithful soldier , who won honors time and time again in front of a determined foe ; the man who fought with the .Ninth army corps of Kentucky , * and thence through the Yicksburg siege , ana until the date of the final surrender at Appomattox - pomattox , and to whom was deputed the honorable task of first meeting the fallen chief of the confederacy , to choose with him the ground on which Lee should yield his sword to Grant ; this man has HOW tote to meet the charge of conspiring to defraud the government he has served so well. The general Is a man under mid dle height , probably not more than five feet seven. His blue eyes shine rom a ruddy , handsome cormte- lance , which , itself , bespeaks the iood-wlllpf all who behold it. His air is dark , and a reddish military moustache aud goatee adorn his lips and chin The main characteris tics of his face are an expression of pleasantgood nature , combined with great mental force and Individual ly. The only weakness he shows in a certain nervousness as he passes his marvelously white hand over his lip , the slender lingers ilightly quivering the while. But his , no doubt , arises.from the eflect > t tremendous consequences of the accusation to which he has to an- wer. A gentle , re lined nature like his could not fail to evince this much of emotion under such cir cumstances , and the modesty of the man * as shown wheu the reporter ought to gam particulars of his career as a soldier of the republic. In fact tb'ese queries were only answered at all iu a general outline , and then only through the interven tion of one of his counsel. The Iffat time tltat General Babcock - cock came into prominent notice was when , as chief engineer of the Ninth army corps , ; he iollowed his command to Vlcksburg. At the siege of this city , he was given cnarge of the outer line of the at tacking works , opposite General Jo. Johnston. General Grant visited these works a few days after their ompletioii , and , being struck with the skill shown in their construction - , tion , asked tor the oflicer who had raised them , and this led to the first meeting between GRANT AND BABCOCK. Boon afterwards , when Vicksburg fell. General Grant paid Colonel Babcock the special compliment of requesting his personal attendance at the ceremony of the surrender. When , later on , General Grant re ceived his commission as lieutenant general , he telegraphed to New York , whither Colonel Babcock had gone on leave , to report forthwith at headquarters , and on the arrival of the latter gentleman at Nashville he was notified of his appointmenc as chief engineer on the staff of the new made lieutenant general. From this time onward the utmost confidence has been reposed in Gen. Babcock by bis chief , and when en-Jjee finally surrendered , it waste to Gen. Babcock that was deputed the delicate and honorable task of meeting the fallen confederate chief tain to arrange all the necessary preliminaries for that ceremony which crowned the victory of the Union armies. A fiiendship , thus commenced on the field and ripened by mutual counsels in tbe face of mortal dan gers , was continued after the war into civil iife , and the president chose his trusted companion in arms for his priyate secretary , ' ape po t which he has filled ever since until the indictment , the trial of which is now pending. What the president thinks of the gentleman can best be shown In the following words , to which he gave utterance some ten days since : "Aly confidence in General Bab cock is unimpaired and undimin- Isbed. With the light before me to-day and my knowledge of the man , if the government had any great work on hand requiring the services of a skillful and faithful man as engineer , I know of no one whom , as Executive , I would select in preference to General Babcock. The work he has done in this city ( Washington ) Is proof , as far as can be , of the correctness of this estimate. Since his time as acting commis sioner of public grounds and build ings in Washington , members of cougressj'in epeakiug of his work and the improvement of the public grounds , have expressed great satis faction , and have said to me : 'Now we can see where the public money goes. ' There never has been a de ficiency with General Babcocksinco his time as acting commissioner. " SHERIFF'S SALE.

Mr. Wallace presented fifty peti tions of five thousand citizens of Pennsylvania in favor of aid to the Texas Pacific railway. Referred. Mr. Randolph , from the commit tee on military affairs , reported fa vorably on tbe house bill donating condemned cannon balls to the La dies' Monument association of Alle- gnany county , Pa. Passed. Mr. ( Sherman , from the commit tee on finance , reported a substitute for the resolution submitted by Mr. Davis early in tbe session in regard to accounts of defaulting officers , etc. Thesubatitote'dlrccts tue BWJ- retary ot the .treasuryto furnish to the senate , aa soon as practicable , a statement of all balances due the United States from public officers and others formerly but not now in the public service , distinguishing those which.have been settled , set ting forthas , near as practicable , tbe period over which such accounts ex tended , the amounts involved , etc. , together with the character of stocks held by the United { States , amount of such stock , and if default has been made in payment of interest' Mr. Davis said there might be some amendment to the resolution , but as it was a step in the right di rection he would not cause any de lay by proposing an amendment. Mr. Merrill , irom the committee on public buildings and grounds , re ported a bill appropriating $25,000 for continuing the work ot improv ing capitol grounds during the pres ent fiscal year. The appropriation made last year was exhausted. Passed. Mr. Edmunds submitted a resolu tion Instructing the committee on public buildings and grounds to in quire into the expediency of mak ing adequate provision for a speedy completion of the Washington monument in Washington , and that they have leave to report by bill or otherwise. Agreed to. Mr. Wright called up ( the senate bill to pay the first national St. Al- bans ( Vt. ) bank $28,650 the value of certain United States treasury notes held by said bank as financial agent of tbe United States and forcibly taken therefrom by raiders from Canada in 1804 , the pending amend ment being to strike out the clause providing for payment of iuterest on that amount from October 19 , 1864 , until the time of the payment , which was agreed to , and the bill passed as amended. Mr. Boutwell introduced a bill to repeal the pre-emption laws aud provfde for Uie sale of timber upon public lands of the United States. Ho gave notice that at the proper timu he would offer it as a substitute for the bill to repeal section 2033 of the revised statutes in regard to pub lic lauds in Alabama and other states. Ordered printed. Mr. Kelly called up the senate bill to extend the time for the con struction aud completion of the Northern Pacific railroad , the pend ing question being on amendments reported by the committee on rail roads on January 17th and 24th , to extend the time to eight years in stead of ten , making the bill apply to tbe main line of the road via the valley of the Columbia river and terminate on Puget ( Sound , that it shah not apply to the branch line of said road from Lake Pend de Oreilie , across the Cascade moun tains to Puget Sound , etc. Mr. Sargent moved the bill be re committed , that the amendment might be framed to protect settlers in tbeir rights. After discussion tbe bill was laid over until to-morrow. At the expiration of the morning hour the senate proceeded with the house centennial bill , appropriating $1,500,000. Mr. Merrill spoke at length in fa vor of the bill , and Bald tbe centen nial exhibition had become a na tional question , on which congress could not turn its back. The , honor of the nation was Involved'in ita success. Mr. Norwood said he desired to speak on the bill , but was unable to go on to-day. He moved the sen ate adjourn. Rejected. Mr. Edmunds said he understood tbe senator from Georgia was not well and could not go on to-day. He thought -common courtesy re quired that the bill be laid over un til to-morrow , that the senator might speak. Therefore he moved that the senate proceed to consider ation of executive business. Mr. Mernman submitted a reso lution that the committee on rules be instructed to prepare and report an appropriate rule to tbe senate to prohibit the annoyance of sending visiting cards to senators while the senate is in session. Laid over. The senate then went into ex ecutive session aud soon adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Banning astted leave to offer a resolution calling on tbe secretary of war for information as to the number of draught horses and mules in tbe service ot the army , their cost , place of purchase , etc. Also as to the cost of mounting regi ments of cavalry. Mr. Thornburg objected on the ground that the information called for would occupy the whole clerical force of the department till the close of tbe session. The speaker then called on com mittees for reports. Mr , Parsons , from the committee on private land claims , reported a bill authorizing the secretary of the treasury to sell , at private sale , such portion of public property at Vin- cennes , Ind. , as may be required for tracks , switches , shops and other purposes of the Ohio and Mississip pi , tne Evansville and Crawfords- ville , and the Indianapolis and Vlncennes railroad companies , real estate having been acquired by the government for debt , and being commonly known as the "steam mill tract , " or the " HaH-Neilson" property. Mr. Holeman objected to that provision of the bill allowing the transfer ot property at private sale , and argued that it should be opened to public competition. Mr Parsons replied that Mr. Hoi- man's proposition would be unjust to those railroad companies which were using tbe property. Mr. Holman insisted that at least ttat j > ortion of the property not needed by the railroad companies should be disposed ol oy public competition - petition , and not by private sale. The property consists of about 80 acres , of which the railroad compa nies require one-third. After considerable discussion the bill was rejected. The Ihouse then went into the committee of the whole , on the con sular and diplomatic appropriation bill. bill.In In a brief discussion as to further debate it was understood that Mr. Blaine would address the house to morrow , promising to keep as near to the merits of the bill as Messrs. Cox and Kelly had done , and that general debate would close to-mor- ow. ow.The The committe rose and the house adjourned. NEW YORK , Feb. 9. Henry C. Bowen was waited up on to-day in regard to the summons of the Plymouth church examining committee. He declined to state whether he had received another summons to appear before the com mittee , or what action he should take in case he should be summoned.

The Trial of General Babcock. ST. JjOtus , Feb. 8. The opening of the case for the government by District Attorney Dyer occupied over two hours , clos- ! ng before 2 p. m. It was largely levoted to a review of the whisky ionsplracy as shown in previous trials , afterwards out-living the ev- 'dence upon which the government proposed to show Gen. Babcock's : onnectiou with that conspiracy , includi. g the payment of money to him by the ring in this city. In conclusion the District Attorney itated that the evidence against the [ plaintiff will be largely circumstau- itantial. The court adjourned tili 3 ) . m. , at which hour Joseph Fitz- oy was called as the first witness for the government. His testimony was the same as given in previous trials ; his story was the same , and his manner was as comfortably self- assured as when on the witness stand several times before. Objection - tion was made by the counsel for the defense , who claimed the inad- missabllity of evidence in this case prior to June 6th , 1872 , as the : ax on distilled spirits was inly fifty cents per gallon up that time ; while indictments claims a conspiracy to defraud the government of a tax of 00 cents per gallon. Subsequent to that date the counsel for the government claimed the point of the indictment was the Tact that such a conspiracy existed , md that under ordinary rules. Of , he evidence , the testimony is com petent , which show the organization and growth , and the progress of the sonspiracy. ' ( Another Commercial Failure. Nnw * y.ORK , Jan. 9.
