BABoOCK's LUCK ANNOUNCED.
Ex-senator Henderson Says He Did Not Say It.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The Attorney
General, late yesterday afternoon, re
eeived dispatch from District Attor
ney Dyer, at St. Louis, stating that the
Grand Jury had found an Indictment
against General Babcock.
A number OF extracts from the conclud.
ing speech of Ex-senator Henderson,
counsel Tor the Government In the Avery
trial at st. Louis, have been sent to the
President and the Attorney General.
These extracts not only deal in the
most bitter denunciation OF the villain
hes of the whisky ring and OF General
Babcock's alleged connection with it,,
but the language used In them is per-
e0nally disrespectful to the President,
and under any circumstances very i'm
proper to be used by the prosecuting q Off
Der of the Government towards It's Ex-
scutive.
The President has not considered that
1t was necessary for him to take any no.
tice OF these extracts, but the Attorney
General, under whose direction Mr..
Henderson was employed to assist In
the prosecution, is Of the opinion that ii
Henderson did use such language, it is
not proper Tor him to continue in his
present relations towards the Govern
ment. Accordingly he sent dispatch
10 Mr.. Henderson directing his attention
10 the report of his remarks, aud in-
formed him il he did use such language,
pc would please consider that his ser.
Yioes were no longer required by the
Government. Mr.. Henderson tele-
kfaphsd back that the language attrib.
dted to him hau not been used In his
speeob, and that he would forward by
mail eoyyect copy OF his remarks. The
Attorney General thereupon directed
that Mr.. Henderson continue to act for
fhy Government until further notice, and
Ne matter will rest until tue copy sent
by Mr. Henderson is received.

account of non-teatartionist article
last week we were waited on by
some ladies who wanted to get the

not propose to give the names of our

ton to some matter ofpersonal offence,
and that we would not give the
names of our Ceredo correspondents.
We assured them that we would not
have published the article if we had
understood it, but that it having
been done innocently We hoped they
would accept our apology &c. They
were implacable, however, and or
dered us to stop their paper, so we
lost two subscribers. Now we viii!
only say that we would have pur-
sued the same course if we had lost

The sweet smile which death left upon
her countenance seemed to say Mamma,
