A UNITED STATES ATTORNEY
DEFENDING BABCOCN.

A Washington correspondent Of the
New YORK Sun, writes:
There is one singular thing about
Babcoek's case. There has been q
great deal said about one e. G. Brear
ley, one of Babcock's counsel. This
Broarley was, up to very recent Pc
Rod, a special Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral, detailed for duty in connection
with District Attorney Bliss of New
York City. 1t is known that he boast
ed when on his way to st. Louis that
he had been specially solicited to assist
the defence, and in this connection he
pointed to diamond pin which he
wore on his shirt front, and said taat
was pinned there by the highest
lady in the land who told NE to
earn it by bringing Babcock safe
out Of the hands of the
Philistines. If this man BrearIey
has severed his connection with the De
partment Of Justice it is rot generally
known here. The question then is
pertinent In this connection. +" How
does it come that Pierrepont is furnish

RAILROAD TIME TICKETS.

Judge Spier of the Supreme Court of
New York has made ruling of impor-
tancs to railroad travellers, in snit
brought by passenger, against the Erie
Railroad Company. The plaintiff pur-
chased ticket, good for five days, of
the company. Before reaching his
destination. he stopped at q station on
the Susquehanna division. and without
mentioning his intention to the Con-
ductor. Next day he took the train, and
attempted to travel on the punched
ticket, but was put off the train by the
conductor. He sued the company for
damages, and the jury found YER
dict in his favor for $1,000. Tie de-
tense claimed that reasonable reg
ulation of tho company required that
any passenger with time ticket. de-
string to get off at any point within q
division should give notice to the con-
ductor. 1t was shown that the plain
tiff was given no knowledge of any
such regulation. The Court held tina.
the regulation was reasonable. but re-
fused to charge that it was defense to
the company if the plaintiff was not
aware of it, thus establishing the rule
that passenger may get off at any
station and afterwards travel on his
punched ticket unless lie is duly no.
tilted that the regulations of the COM
pany prohibit him from doing SO.

The Times this morning publishes
what purpor.s to be the full text of the
Presidents deposition in the Babcock
case. In substance his testimony is as
follows: Have known Babcock since the
Vicksburg campaign in 1868. Since
1869 that gentleman has acted as his
private secretary, and his relations to
him were very confidential. Had al
ways found him faithful and honorable;
was intimately acquainted with G. W.
Ford Of st. Louis, who acted as his
business agent in that city; when he
died John A. Joyce applied for The
collectorship in telegram to Babcock,
but he decided to let Ford S bondsmen
nominate his successor. General Bah
cock did not recommend his appint-
ment; did not remember that Babcock
ever sought to influence lis action in
regard to charges made or proposed to
be made against Joyce or Mcdonald;
nor has he attempted to influence his
actions in St. Louis or elsewhere; re-
member riding with Mcdonald in
Washington in December 1874, but had
no conversation with him relative to
official position or business. General
Babcock did not at that time intercede
with him to prevent any Investigation.
The order for O transfer of supervisors

that order until assured by Supervisor

warning to put their houses in order

sequently be useless at that time.
