Babcock is of course acquitted again.
Nobody expected anything different. Nor
need there be any surprise that the YER
diet was received with the cheers of Bah
cocks Ring confederates under the lead Of
Boss Shepherd. 1t was jury selected to
let Babcock off, to favor him in all ways,
and in no event to bring him in guilty.
None of the jury had any standing in the
District Of Columbia, except one man, a
German baker, who has hitherto borne a
reputal character.
The safe-burglary conspiracy was plot
ted with great skill and secrecy, and with
jealous care to avoid compromising any
single individual Of the conspirators.
There were wheels within wheels, but
Babcock, yet unwhipt of justice, and
Harrington, the fugitive from justice, con-
structed the machinery, using Whiteley
and Nettlcship as their tools. So adroitly
and internally had they laid their trap
that they felt sure Of catching Mr.. Column
bus Alexander and securing his condem
nation for an odious crime, his sole offence
being that of manfully standing up against
Boss Shepherds and Babcock's District
Ring. The plot happily fell through.
Though nominally acquitted in this trial,
as in the whiskey thieves conspiracy, Bah
cock is again morally condemned. Yet
he remains and will remain the bosom
friend of Grant, and continue to disgrace
the uniform of the United States.
There is still to be tried the further in
famous charge against this man of attempt
ing to abduct from Rhode Island Mr..
Raymond ii. Perry in the year 1871 that
he might be put under the ban Of manu-
featured criminal charges, and his testi-
mony against the San Domingo job thus
rendered valueless. The people are not
done with this fellow yet, though no one
need expect justice for him so long as
Grant and Boss Shepherd rule in Wash
ington, and are able to bring all the power
Of the Government to aid him in escaping
his due punishmont-N y Sun.

Pole Raising at MeOhaniosville.
Correspondence Of The Democratic Advocate.

Correspondence of the Democratic Adpocatc.
LEwIsvILLE, Mp, Oct. g, 1876.
Messrs Editors Tho Pole Raising at
Mechanicsville, on Saturday last, was a
grand success. The pole, which is hicko.
ry, was from the farm Of Mr.. Hanson
Davis, is 125 feet high, and surmounted
by hickory broom made by Mr.. Cover.
Some doubts were expressed in the morn
ing as to whether the pole would be raised,
owing to the rain, but by IL o'clock the
Democracy began assembling from the
surrounding country, and it was decided
to raise it. The National Grays Band, Of
Westminster, arrived about o'clock, and
their stirring airs enlivened the occasion.
By this time at least two hundred and fifty
persons were present, many Of whom wero
ladies. About 2 o'clock, Messrs. Jabez
A. Bush, Daniel Ebaugh and Reuben
Smith arrived with the ropes, blocks, &C.,
and at once the work began amid the
shouts and cheers of the people, The
work proceeded slowly, when some one
remarked 81 hope they will not get it up"
Mrs. Charles W. Arnold, hearing the re-
mark, rushed to the pole and seizing hold
of the rope, shouted "Pull boys, pull for
Tilden aud Hendricks |" A tremendous
huzza greeted the exclamation, and in less
than Eve minutes the pole stood erect, with
the names of Tilden and Hendricks float
ing from its head, overtopped by the broom.
Everything passed off pleasantly, and the
best feeling prevailed throughout the day.
Even the Republicans present assisted
with as much seeming good will as the
Democrats. 1t was very much regretted
that the inclemency of the weather pre-
vented the speakers who were announced
from being present. Mr.. Cover climbed
the pole to the height of about 60 feet and
united the ropes, for which difficult feat
he received the thanks of the meeting,
The pole was hauled to the ground by Mr..
Charles W. Arnold. You may expect a
good account from the OLD FOURTH.

THE BOYS WHO WORE THE BLUE


A special dispatch to the Baltimore
Gazette, dated indianapolis, October 5,
says The success of the great demon
stration to-day has more than met the
most sanguino expectations. The city was
throngcd with many thousands of specta.
tors, and there We're eight thousand in the
procession. 1t was in every respect most
imposing and magnificent The decora-
tons of the city were splendid and prOfuse,
and public enthusiasm was unbounded.
Eloquent speeches were made at numerous
stands, the most elaborate being by Gen.
McCernand, of Illinois, Cahil, Of Tonnes
see; Parker, of New York, and Palmer, of
Illinois Others of distinguished civil and
military renown addressed attentive aud
exultant audiences. Resolutions were
passed protesting against all attempts to
revive sectional hatreds and prejudices;
recognizing the gallantry while condemn
ing the cause Of southern soldiers; protest
ing against the policy of the Republican
party in plundering the South and perpet-
uating the animosities of war; denounoing
the efforts of the administration to control
the elections in the South and to carry the
presidential election by force and fraud;
returning thanks to the House of Repre-
scntatives for the bill oqualizing soldiers
bounties; dcnouncing republican legislation
on the finances, and corruption of the civil
service; demanding change Of admins
tration, and, in conclusion, strongly en-
dorsiug Tildcn. AT night the torchlisht
display was magnificent. The ex-soldiers
present numbers more than double those at
the republican reunion September Il.
No attempt was made to palm this re-
union off as non-partisan. tisprofesscd-
ly Democratic, open and above board and
triumphant The most conservative men
express positive confidence that Harrison
will be defeated next Tuesday, though
the Republicans are trading votes and
risking every thing to pull him through.
