BABcooK's TRIAL.-The outlook in
the Babcock case is that the General
may be acquitted, but more from the
want of evidence than from conviction
Of his innocence. His ten lawyers
have vigorously fought to keep out all
evidence for the prosecution. Grants
testimony is to the effect that If Bah
cock was connected with the whisky
ring he docs not know IT, He says
that Babcock explained all the "Sylph"
and "Grit" kilograms "in satisfactory
manner" but he does not say what the
manner was. He concludes his
deposition with strong asseveration
Of his belief in his secrctarys inno-
cence. But his asscveration should
not weigh any more in court of
justice than Bishop Kcrfoots voluntary
assevcration of Mr.. Avery's innocence
will probably weigh with the Legisla-
tive Investigation committee. Indeed
il should not weigh so much. For the
Bishop has never, like the President,
made himself conspicuous in the way
OF indorsing TO the last, doubtful char
acters, like Collector Tom Murphy,
Boss Shepherd, Minister schcnck, ct al.

Another Opportunity for the Re-
lief Of the Afflicted.

The Surgeons of the National Sur
gicai Institute, located in Indianapolis;
Pacific Division, Alha.nbra Building,
Bush Street, San Francisco, have yielded
to the many urgent appeals from their
patrons and friends in Oregon and
Washington Territory and adjoining
regions, To visit Portland The Former
visit was highly satisfactory and en-
couraging, many of the patients then
accepted for treatment being now en-
tirely cured, while nearly all are greatly
benefited and In fair way OF recovery.
Three or more of the Surgeons will be
at the Cosmopolitan Hotel, in Portland,
Oregon. from Monday. the 2sth day of
August, until Saturday, the I'd Septem-
Der. 1876, six days inclusive.
They will have with them a great
variety of surgical apparatus, appli.
ances, etc, and competent workmen to
change, fit. and make such apparatus as
may be required. They will come es-
pecially prepared to treat all surgical
cases: Paralysis, all kinds of Deform-
tiles of the Face. Spine and Limbs,
Diseased Joints, Diseased Eyes, Catarrh,
Private Diseases, Piles, Fistula, etc.
All who wish to avail themselves of
the advantages of the Institute, without
the long journey TO San Francisco or
indianapolis, should do so at this time.
No cases will be undertaken without a
fair hope OF relief 1t is needless to say
that the institution is entirely responsi.
