DENT WANTS IT KNOWN THAT HE Is mot ON
TRIAL
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1875.
The Cabinet meeting to-day discussed the
Babcock indictment and other St Louis
matters. 1t is understood that Major Lucien
B. Eaton, assistant prosecuting counsel,
sent to the Attorney General, at his
request, and with Mr.. Henderson's
knowledge, sworn copy Of the speech.
General Henderson sent despatch to the
Attorney General to-day saying that his
speech had been sent and that he meant no
reflection upon the President, but does not
take back anything he really said. 1t is add
ed that many Of the lawyers in court when
the speech was made were ready to testify
that they did not understand Mr.. Henderson
to intend to make any reflection on the
President On considering the speech, how
ever, the Cabinet came to the unanimous
conclusion that it was q serious reflection
upon the President, and that it was not
proper to employ General Henderson any
longer under the circumstances.
WHAT PRESIDENT GRANT SAID.
The President himself suggested the en-
ployment in his place of Thomas L. Glover
said to be one of the ablest lawyers in st.
Louis, and it is added that, while the Presi-
dent expresses unfaltering faith in General
Babcock's innocence, he said :-'I want this
trial to go on in the usual course, and want
the ablest counsel that can be got to prose-
cute"
THE TRIAL OF BABBoCK
The Court will meet for General Babcock's
trial on the 18th of this month, and the trial
will actually begin probably on the 18th,
and will go on to its completion without de-
lay
DUPLICATE EVIDENCE FOB THE MILITARY COURT
The Chicago military court has been or
dered to adjourn until the civil trial is over
and has suspended proceedings accordingly.
Mr. Dyer, the District Attorney at ST.
Louis, has been instructed to cause copies
of the evidence to be made for the use of the
military court when it shall reassemble.
THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE IS mot ON TRIAL"
There are the usual rumors tonight of a
disagreement in the Cabinet, but they are all
false 1t is quite certain that the whole
Cabinet are united and harmonious upon
the action taken to-day. The President,
when he ordered the ablest counsel to be
retained for the prosecution in General Bab-
cocks trial, and when the whole matter was
concluded, said-
''I want it to be understood that am not
on trial"

THE PARIS MUTUELS.
Why They We're BanIshed from the
French Turf.

Why They We're BanIshed from the
French Turf.
Paris Correspondence Of the New York Her d.
At the recent LOngchamps races, the
gamblers were out in great force, but there
were no Paris mutuel machines, as they
have been abolished from the course entire
" for the second time-the first by order of
the Emperor and latterly by the RepubIi-
can Prefect Of Police. Cheating had been
detected by the police in the working of
these machines, and the public had been
sWindled most egregiOusly, hence their
Punishment not only from the course, but
to the other side Of the boundary lines of
France. sOne way Of cheating, it is said,
was by altering the numbers in the ma
chine on a particular horse at the moment
of his winning so as to make more tickets
sold on that particular horse than had been
indicated before the start, while another
way was by getting in league with the
trainers and jockeys, getting them to
throw races, and, by purchasing all the
tickets, or nearly all, on the horse that
had to win, the public were not only robbed
Ofall the money they betOn the other horses
in the race, but, worse than all, the
owners Of the race horses were sold and
beaten By the rascally set Of sCamps who
had thus bought up the jockeys and trainers.
Villanies of this kind, il is reported here,
were Practiced by a certain gambler in the
United States last year, who was not
worker or owner Of the Paris mutuels, but
a great bet e. on races. He bribed the
jockeys to throw races, and by this fellows
tricks many a good horse was beaten when
he should lave won his races. / mention
this fact, as many people over here seem to
know something Of the manner. in which
gambling is conducted in America. 1t is
said also by the police here that many Of
the operators of the Paris mutuel machines
in France became owners Of race horses
themselves, or obtained control Of them
through bribery, and were thus enabled to
defraUd the hackers of horses opposed TO
those in the interest Of the mutuel ma
chimes. When this villainy was de
teCled by the police here, the books Of the
gamblers were seized, rs well as the cash
in hand, and they scattered the villains
from their hauBts, TO find other instru-
meuts than the Paris mutuels to do their
swiudliUg with. But for these exposures
the Paris mUtUels would be still in opera
tiOu.

INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION OF
GAME ARD FISH.
New York World, May 2


An organization to be known as the
International Association for the Pro-
lection Of Game aud Fish was organ
lied AT Cooper Union yesterday after
noon. On motion Of K. b. Roosevelt,
the President Of the Fish Culturists
Association, was elected permanent
President.
Letters were received from many
prominent sports men In the United
States and Canada, expressing their de-
sire to Join the association. After the
election Of Vice Presidents Professor
Robert Bell, Professor Alexander
Agassiz. Wright Rives, NJ @. Elizer.
NJ. D., Charles G.. Gardiner, and J. V.
LcMoyne, the President said that the
object Of the association was to secure,
If possible, general protective game
laws for both Canada and the United
States. For the purpose OF attaining
this, the business Of the association
wouldbe to select a competent board Of
naturalists, fish culturIsts, game breed
ers and spOrtsmen, who shall be en-
powered TO draft suitable laws ard sub
NIT them Tor approval to Congress or
duly constituted legislative bodies.
Mr.. Roosevelt felt quite sure that every
sportsman could readily see the great
benefit which would result from the as
sanitation Of the laws Of Canada for
the protection Of game with those of
the United States. Another great OBJ
ject to be accomplished was the perma-
uent fixing Of general names, whereby
the various species Of birds and fish ali
over the United States and Canada
sLnul1 be c-nmunIK Known.

The voice Of the great West accOrds to Hos

Business is still quiet and dull with the
banks, and we have no change to note.
Loans are made on thirty and sixty DAYS
time at the rate Of ten per cent. per annum.
Good paper when offered is taken BY bro
kers at about two per cent. per month
discount.
Gold is firm and unchanged, closing in
New York at 1861. For the small lots
offered here dealers pay ia and hold at
116. Silver is taken at LOG for halves and
quarters.
Exchange on New York is scarce and in
demand. The banks buy at par and sell at
81 per thousand premium.
Tennessee bonds are unchanged, being
quoted in New York at 5O6504.
COmptrollers warrants are dull, with no
demand by taxpayers. Brokers buy at 80
and sell at 80. The new treasury notes are
bought and sold the same as the ordinary
warrant.
There is q strong disposition on the part
Of holders Of Bank of Tennessee notes, new
issue, to sell, as an impression prevails that
the decision Of the Supreme Court on the
tax question will be adverse to the note
holders. Brokers decline to buy.
