THE SECRETARY NOT FRIGHTENED AND TIE PUBII
CnNEInENI-A ElCIION ADOuT GEN. DADCOCk.

CoNFIDENT-A FICTION ABOUT GEN. BABCoCk.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIlpSEl
WASHINGTON Dec. 2G.-The story, originating in
Chicago and printed there and in New-fork, aceus-
ING Secretary Brisow of using his influence ~ an
attorney before he became Secretary of the Treas
urv, to protect distillers of and dealers in
"crooked" whisky from punishment, and of seeur-
ing the release of spirits on which the tax had not
been paid has attracted considerable attention here
to-day; but It has shaken the faith Of no one III the
integrity of the Secretary, or in his determination
10 pursue the whisky cOnspiIators rclentlcsSy, until
they are punished The story was doubtless invented
by agents of the Whisky Ring, who find no trouble
in persuading persons who have personal spite
against the Secretary and seek for opportunities for
exhibiting IT, to give il publicity. Secretary Brstow
courts the most searching investigation which the
Whisky Ring or any Of its agents may desire; but
he will not be frightened by any of their threats
into stopping the prosecution of any of them whom
he may believe to be guilty
Eoually prepostcrous is the story that Gen.
Babcock intends to 20 before committee OF
Congress next week and give testimony and
produce documents which the Government in
tends to use against him in st. LOUIS and
thus under the S59th section of the Revised Stat
utes 10 make such evidence incompetent to be used
against him OH his trial by the court The section
referred 10 dilcCtS only VI py
a witness who is examined before a committee of
Congress. and it simply provides that the evidence
given by himself cannot be used against him in a
court of justice; but man may be prosecuted Tor
crime thus confessed if there is other evidence than
his own sufficient to convict him, and the fact that
man has given testimony before a committee tend
ing TO show third person guilty of crime does not
make him incompetent to testify against that person
subsequently in court. Now one supposes that
Cen Babcock is 10 be convicted in st. Louis, if at
all. on his own testimony, so that any evidence he
might give before a committee would not save him
in his trial Equally unreasonable is it to suppose
that lie intends to confess crime at all He asserts
his innocence.
Chicago branch ring is in great trouble.
II includes many prominent men. full expos
ure is at hand, aud the strongest efforts are
making TO break the force of the blow. The publi-
cation referred 10 is probably tho result of one Of
tboge etforts.
