GENERAL BABCOCK.

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. "

lay by proposing an amendment.

terminate on Puget ( Sound , that it
shah not apply to the branch line

At the expiration of the morning
hour the senate proceeded with the

mittees for reports.

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

were using tbe property.

needed by the railroad companies
should be disposed ol oy public competition -
petition , and not by private sale.

nies require one-third.

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.
