by the official paper, some time ago, as having
been confirmed.

Executive business. Ofwhat was done, we on

audi alteram partem.--Having hnisheo tue
,ohlcation of the Report of the Majority OF the
post Office Committee we now proceed to give
,hs Report of the Minority, in order, as is our
custom always, that both sides should be heard.
we feel it due to justice and to our own decided
ooiuion to say that in our judgment the report
If the Majority puts the case beyond all doubt,
and. Notwithstanding al the explanation and
.vtenuaton Of Messrs. Grundy and Robinson
exhibits the most fragrant and outrageous viola
lions of law, and abuses and corruptions that
re remember ever to have seen-and, indeed,
far surprising in enormity every thing that the
oublic had been led to expect from the known
osolyency of the Post Office Department.

In the House of Representatives on Satur-
6av. Mr.. McKIM asked the unanimous consent
If the House to submit the following resolution:
Resolred, That a Select Committee be ap-
nonted to inquire into the eXpediency of re-
PORTING bill, to authorize the issuing of fifteen
millions of dollars in Treasury notes, bearing
an interest of five per cent. per year, under the
direction Of Board of Commissioners, to be
loaned out by said commissioners to such indi-
viduals of the several States, who may apply
for loan, as can give full and satisfactory Sc
curity for the reimbursement Of the same, on
the lst of July, 1886.
The consent of the House for the introduc-
ton of the resolution could not be obtained,
and this project of United States Treasury
Bank will probably sleep the sleep of death.

GREAT JACKSON TRIUMPH IN NEW
YORK.
From the Nep York Commercial.

From the Ne,r York Commercial
The defeat of the Constituencies is literal
ly overwhelming. With the single exception
of little Richmond, there is not county be-
tween New York and Oneida, which has not
been carried by the Regency, and with few ex-
ceptions, by greatly increased ma orities-far
outstripping the calculations of the Regency
leaders themselves. New York gives Jackson
majority of 1887; Suffolk Of 1924; Queens l39;
Westchester, 1885, Putnam, probably 700; Or
ange, S73; Duchess 903; Greene, sos; Colum-
bia, 300; Albany, 100; Saratoga 200; Renssa-
lear, say 100 Ulster, 2l00; Delaware, 1850;
Schenectady, 80; Montgomery, Schoharie, Her
kimer, &C., very great Jackson majorities. Thus
far, the Wings have elected only one member
of Congress- Judge Hunt of Rensselaer,, over
Job Pierson.
Marcy will be re elected by more than 10000
majority Corruption wins more than honesty,
and gold has proved itself all powerful The
Jackson fever has broken out anew, and has
swept the State like whirlwnd. Let those
who ride upon the tempest direct it.
1t is very evident to orr minds, that the peo-
pie will not awake from their delusion until it is
too late. The scenes in this city during the two
last nights, and on several occasions before the
election, were such as to make the heart sick
reminding us of the scenes in Paris, before the
sans cuiOttes commenced the disturbance of re-

LIEUTENANT BABBITT.

Our readers are generally aware that Ma
val Court Martial assembled in this town last
week, for the trial of Lieut.. Babbitt on charges
preferred against him by Com. Elliott. Com.
Crane was President Of the Board. The char
geS and specifications were of diSObedlence OF
orders, neglect of duty, unofficer-like conduct,
and lastly the uttering of wiful and mali
cIOus talSehOod." a number of witnesses were
examined in the case, for and against the accu-
SEQ, among them the prosecutor himself
On Wednesday last the defence of Lit Rabbit
was read To the Board, by his counsel, Charles
&, Loring and VIM Il. Grey, ESqs. This do
cument was a clear and very forcihe conSrde-
ration OF the case, and examination OF tine evil
Oence Ii was more powerful and convincing
nan any similar document we remember ever
10 nave heard. In reference TO the charges al
legged against Lieutenant Babbtt it was entire
y cOHcluSlvc, and showed that I've had dlScharg-
Ell eve"y duty in obedience to orders which had
0een re Tulary given to him. and that his con-
duct throughout had been more gentemanIy
and officer Ike than that of the prosecutor him.
set
In consideration of the last charge, that Of
uterinr "wilfL,l and malicious hlSehood,"
the arGnment was not only conclusive To the IN
nOcence of Lieut.. Babbitt. but was severe, and
very much ao,, inst the veracity OF the proSecu-
tor II arnears =, IT. in giving in his testimony,
Capt Elliott, who hao taken an oath TO ten the
uuIn, The WHOLE truth, had ,t'leu ~ uo ~ ~ "h
vera very important instances, "i,e'e III e"r''
Instance the testimony not gireR by mn" was s,,.
ureIy favorable to the accused. The I, S'l'ilo"y
So@itted was obtained from several witt, esses'
ana was that on which 1t. Babbitt mainly re-
Hed to prove his innocence.
LII Rabbit, by his counsel, denied, IN the most
emphatic manner the design TO impute 10 Com
Elliott any intention to falsify or disregard the
enoT Of his oath. He would rather lmpute the
omission to forgetfulness, or any thing else, than
make so serious charge against any ofncer OF
"e navy, much less one holding the high rank
ana station of Com Elliott. The charge against
himself was repealed with force and feellhg, IN,
u,eaung the high sense of honor OF an omcer ana
o' gentleman. The defence was ably drawn
up and undoubtedly had great weight on the
hlndS of the Court. Com. Elliott seemed 10
gear the force of the argument and the lnnIc-
eon OF the conclusions drawn out with great
prutude. The effect upon the spectators was
0oVlous, and it was very evident to them that
NE trial had gone more against the prosecutor
man the accused. The trial and defence, we
earn, will be printed. The decision OF the
Court has been forwarded to Washington, from
Whence it will be made known.
