A LULL IN ST. LOUIS.

GENERAL BABcocK STILL DETAINED IN CHI
CAGo-HIs CASE TRANSFERRED TO THE CIR
CUIT coURT-HENDERsoN ILL.,
ST. LOUIS, Dec IS, 1875.
After all the eagerness with which Babcock has
expected every day this week. is decided that he
will not be here all until mis- case which is set down
the 1th of January called for trial. II stated
that Babcock is detained In Chicago, where his wife
also Is by interesting family event
which Is about to happen, and that he
will therefore not return Immediately to Wash
ington Judge Treats decision to-day, that q
plea was not necessary for the transfer OF the case
from the District the Circuit Court settled the fact
that Babcock need not here and the duly
certified the Circuit Court this noon and put down
for the i1th Of January.
Tho Mckee and Mcclure cases arc also set down for
that date The prosecution say that they will be tried
first This confirms my despatch of yesterday, that
Babcock win probably not be tried until the latter part
of January for the prosecuting attorneys think that
the McGuire and Mckee trials win certainly occupy
from week TO ten days, and thus tho likelihood
St Louis will be very dull place for the next three
weeks for there probabilities of further dis
closures until then although the public will doubt
continue eagerly dovour the rumors and stories
which spring up every day and are passed eagerly
from mouth to mouth: St Louis was always very
dull place, and that the spice OF that whiskay
fraud excitement gone for the next three weeks It's
dulness will be unendurable.
GENERAL HENDERSON
The sudden report of Mr.. Hendersonis serious Illness
which gained circulation to-day, caused q somewhat
painful sensation One Of his law partners says that he
suddenly attacked by nervous prostraton yester-
day and is confined TO his bed to day. He attributed
this prostration to Mr. Henderson's great mental ex
element during tho recent trial and TO the ceaseess
strain upon his nerves He remarked that Mr. Hen
derson worked day and night during the trial OF these
that the main burden Of responsibility for their
successful issue rested upon his shoulders and that all
this excitement together with his sudden dismissal
produced the attack The doctor advises him to take
short trip 10 Cuba which, he says will greatly benefit
him, and Mr. Henderson to-day expressed q determine
tion TO act upon this advice If he is In a condition to
leave he will start upon this trip next week
