else that the President himself was sharer III
the spoils. The evidence OF kilograms sent TO
Babcock by Joyce is strong. Ii indicates that
for some reason the Ring counted upon his I'M
hesitating cooperation. Finally, the telegram
from Babcock to Joyce announces that i'll one
instance his influence has been excrted with
success.
All this has been elected by the District
Attorney and tho, counsel employed by the
Government to aid him. This fact puts an end
to the theory, upon which some journals have
insisted, that the Administration had caused
the prosecution to be so conducted az to shield
guilty persons at Washington. There has not
been any evidence whatever to sustain this
theory, and the conduct OF the prosecution
clearly proves that those who act for the Gov
eminent do not mean to screen anybody VINO
is guilty The President has sustained the
prosecution unhesitatngly thus far and Will not
blacken his own reputation by interfering be-
cause his confidential Secretary has been i'm
plicated. Many Democratic papers have been
quite too anxious already to implicate the
President with the Ring, and will make the
most of the opportunity now afforded. The
President, we feel gIre, will stand on his
memorable words to the Secretary. Let no
guilty man escape" If Gen. Babcock should
be found among the guilty he will not be
screened mt the White House.
Meantime Gen. Babcock's dispatch to the
District Attorney at st. Louis, claiming entire
innocence as to the whisky frauds, is virtu-
ally request for suspension OF public opin-
ion The hearing before the court which Cen
Babcock demands will doubtless DO accorded
to him. The sooner the suspicious kilograms
can be explained, the better for all concerned;
failure to do this would make the present
dispatch mere insOlencc.

CIV R1RcOcES 1ELEGRlN.

When Gen. BabcOck was assdiled upon no
better evidence than the statement of con-
vicfed felon, we heartily shared the public
feeling that no mans reputation should thus
he destroyed. But now his own handwriting
bears witness against him. Men who are
necessarily familiar with his writing swear
to their belief that certain dispatch, OBJ
tanned by the prosecutors from the office
at Washington, WAS written 10y him.
That dispatch informed The Whisky Ring
that he had succeeded in his efforts,
and that the Ring would still be pro-
tccted from exposure. telegram Of this
nature, with q signature manifcstly chosen to
conceal its authorship, in the handwriting of
the confidential secretary Of Che President, and
sent to an official who has since been con-
yicted and lodged in the pcnitcntiary rs the
manager of the Whisky Ring, is proof which
demands attention. 1t completes chain Of
evidence which Mother Che President nor Gen.
Babcock can now afford to treat with contempt.
The talk against Gen. BabcocS was dis
aerccably strong before this disclosure. 1t
was known that he maintained intimate rela-
tions with Joyce, the manager Of the con
spigacy Indeed ii has been stated that Joyce
was selected 20 transact business for Melon
aid at Babcocb's suggestion, and that McHue
was sent for by Joyce aud Mcdonald TO act
as collector for the Ring because OF his former
relations with Babcocl in the Santo Domingo
business. But il is shown that Joyce exhib-
tied letters written on the official paper of the
White House, and signed "Bab' which
he asserted were from Gen. Babcock that
these letters were exhibited to convince the
di,tillcrs, and actually did convince them, that
they would be completely protected in robbing
the Government and that Joyce actually re-
ceiyed prompt information Of secrets ut Wash
ineton, and claimed that this information was
in some cases sent by Babcock. Moreover, it
Is proved that the Ring really had some extra
ordinary influence at Washington. not with
the Secretary Of the Treasury, nor with the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue, for that
influence was used TO set aside their
orders, but with the President himself.
That the Ring fully believed this influ-
ence powerful enough TO drive Secretary
Bristow from the Cabinet, and to protect
it in any contingency, its whole conduct shows.
1t il hardly possible to believe that shrewd
men would have had such confidence, unless
some person known to be as strong with the
President rs BabcOck himself. had become
criminaly committed to them, and made them
believe that the President would defend him, or

ANOTHER SCANDAL.

II Minister Schenck is the honorable and
high minded gentleman his cOuntrymcn once
supposed him to he, he is one Of the most unlor-
tunate of mortals. Upon the heels of the
Emma Mine disgrace follows another scandal,
worse in some respects than that deplorable
afiair-a scandal of such character that it
seems to make Mr. Schcncks retirement to
private life a necessity OF the most urgent
kind. Documents have recently been pub
lished which show that in July, 1871, Mr.
Norman Wizard. who was at that time part
ner OF Gen. Schcnch's in the business OF manu-
featuring ordnance, and held power OF
attorney from him, entered into u writ
ten agreement with Juan 4. Machado
to "use his best cndeavors 10 pro-
cure the settlement and payment Of a
claim of $3.50, 900 which Machado was urging
against the British Government. What sort Of
cndeayOrsr Wizard was expected to use may
be inferred from the stipulation OF the con-
tract that if he succeeded "in securing such
" settlement during the time Gen. Schcnck
should be the Minister of tho United States
"to Great Britain" Wards compensation
should be Onc-third Of tho award, less certain
legal expenses but if the settlement "should
"not depend upon the negotiation OF
"Gcn. Schcnck,' or should not be con-
cluded during his ministry, then Wizard
should get nothing. In plain English,
Wizard, trading upon the basis of his
partnership and intimacy with the American
Minister, proposed TO sell the diplomatic SER
vices OF that high official, taking for his pay
one-lhird of all That Schenck could get ont Of
the British Goycnmcnt. OF course 1t was
nowhere said that Wizard and Schenck were
TO divide the profits. On that subject Mr..
Machado doubtless drew Lis own conclusions.
Having mado this dissraceful contract, what

suggest that tho bodies of our great men here

To-day the body of Nice-Pr, sident Wilson is
finally 10 be laid TO rest, for which We have
no doubt his kinsfols and those friends who
loved the man arc thankful. There Is but
little need for us TO express the disapproyal
with which such public funerals as that ending
to-day are regarded by all decent people.
When Abraham Lincoln fell a martyr for his
country, and tie cutlery Of horror and pIiof was
universal, there was apparently some apology
for hauling his body from city to city, aud cX-
po,iug 1t to the view of the people, who all
stood in the attitude of moumer-; but even
then before the ghaetly parade was over it
was apparent TO everybody of humane on even
decent feeling that it was n mi take. After
ward came the same miserable show in the
ease of Mr. Peabody, which ended in a dis
graceful s1uabble as to who should pay for it,
The funeral of the Vice-Prcsidcut was only les,
revolving because it was sooner ended,
but the plain facts about il were bad
enough. We spoke on Monday Of the
utter Indifference and neglect with which
the learse was received by the crowds
ON our own streets rs it passed through them
Int even That neglect was less rcpulsiyc than
gwaUning, unmanneIly crowds IN other cities
who iostled each other to stare at the exposed
body. Pickpockets, policemen, ncwsboys, men
Of all characters, and women OF none, tlIonged

inst "a they would have thrOngcd to stare at

The idea Of great man passing to his long
rest through a mourning nation, met from
point TO point with solemn honor, is, as an idea.
touching and beautiful. But nobody who has
seen the actual lying in state" can regard
the real fact as touching or honorable either
to the dead or the nation.
In short, the whole custom OF exposure OF
the dead from town to town originated in
false taste and false feeling and is kept up
usually by small officials who would willingly
gain cheap notoriety. No man who had
common sense and intellectual hight enough
in his lifetime TO command the position of
Lincoln, Peabody, or Wilson would have con
templated the chance Of his becoming a tray

Further specimens of the mode by which
claims against the State for canal damage
were inflated are presented in the evidence
before the Legislative Joint Committee. If 1t
were not such melancholy fact. this testimony
would make good material for comedy III
the American drama of the future. Here was
a factory that had passed through the hands
of several tenants, and been abandoned for
ten years. No profit could be made by running
it. The canal drew off the water from the dam,
and straightway there is found claim for
damage. The witnesses arc rather beioggcd
in trying to recall the mental processes by
which the figures were made up, but the total
claim for injury to the water supply seems to
have been about twice the value of the whole
property. The only lucid part of the explana-
ton is that in making these extraordinary
estimates the claimants were acting under
legal advice.

The progress of the cold wave which has
swept over the country from the northwest
has been faithfully predicted by the Govern
ment weather reports. In wide extent and
sudden severity this first touch of Win
ter is somewhat remarkable. The fall of the
thermometer at some of the Western stations
on Sunday was $50 to 400; as the cold wihd
reached cities this side Of the Alleghenies the
depression of temperature was equally rapid
though not quite so great. Suddenly frozen
rivers and canals are reported throughout the
country north Of our latitude.
