BabcOck.

New York. Feb. 25.-The Herald says,
the acquitta of Baocock will be gratifying
surprise to tie couutry, and coDgratulates the
President upon it, as Babcock's conviction
would have been considered moral conviction
OF Gen. Grant. Every good American will re-
joice at the result.
The Times says the verdict will be received
with general satisfaction throughout the coun
try, not because the President or bis admins
traitor was Oh trial as various irj udclcus friends
of Geo. Grant assumed, but because it would
have given serious shock to our faith 10 the
possibility of public virtue to find that man,
occupying 50 honorable position as Gen. Bah
cock, should have basely betrayed the implicit
trust which was reposed in him. But his
triumphant acqui,ta of the criminal charges
does not relieve Gen Babcock from the neces-
sity of giving some mure Ineligible explana-
ton than has yet been offered of how he came
to preserve relations, sn intimate anu coutden-
tial, with men Of the stamp Of Joyce and Nc
Douald.
The Tribune says: The country IS to be most
heartily congratulated on the acqulttal 1t
would have been an almost intolerable NORTH
cation to every patriotic American if the phi.
vate secretary of the President Of the United
States bad been touud guilty Of conspiracy to
dciraud the revenue, and none will be more
sincerely glad that W. have escaped this shame
than those who are politically opposed to the
present administration. 1t has been an emf
neuty fair trial, ending in satisfactory result.
The World thinks that if Babcock has OBJ
tained legal acquitta it is only at the cost Of
a mora conviction.

Parted by Creeds,

It is seldom, says the Sioux City Journal,
that separation of . man and wife occurs
under such strange circumstances and in
the manner given herewith. This was an
actual occurre noe few days since, how
ever. the parties being we'll known not
only in the country where they reside, but in
this city as we'll, and we might give names,
but withhold them for prudential reasons.
This much We will say, they live In the
edge of Plymouth county, and We believe
in Liucoln township. The particulars as
related to us are substantially as follows:
The parties referred to we're united in mar
riage perhaps q couple of years since, and
in order to consummate this end the young
man was compelled TO renOunce Protestant
ism avow allegiance to the Roman Catholic
faith, the young woman whom he desired to
marry being stsunch Catholic. This step he
took. In due time after marriage child was
born to the apparently happy couple to more
firmly unite their hearts in love for each
other. But this ev ent did not have ten
dency to work to that end. Soon after the
birth of their little one the wife expressed
. desire to have it baptized in the church
and in the faith she had espoused. To this
the husband sternly objected, saying that
he would % soon see the child dead. Their. :
fore, - the wife could not prevail upon
