BABCocK ON TRIAL.-The trial of General
o. E. Babcock, President Grants Private
Secretary, for completely in the whisky ring
frauds, is in progress at st. Louis. His law
yers are taking advantage of every legal
bubble and technically to screen their client.
1t has, nevertheless, been shown in the course
Of the trial that Joyce, now in prison for the
part he took in the fraudulent transactions,
sent, on one occasion, q $500 note to Babcock,
as his share of the amount levied by the ring
upon certain distllery
The deposition of President Grant, which
has been taken, states that the revocation of
the order transferring the supervisors of rcvc-
nue., was directed by himself, and that lie has
implicit confidence in the integrity of Gene
raj Babcock. The Presidents opinion of
his friend and Private Secretary, we cannot
but think, is not very conclusive proof of
Babcock's honesty. Grant possesses the beau
tiful quality of consistency in his friendships.
Heis slow to believe i'll of any one who has
once gained his good will, as witness his blind
faith in and persistent adherence to Boss
Shepherd and others ofthe Washington ring,
after their infamy had become apparent TO
every one else. Babcock will doubtless be
more fortunate than his associates Joyce and
McDonatd, who now contemplate life from
behind the prison bars; but his innocence will
be shown TO be of such a character as would
cntile him, in a court If Scotland, to the YER

CHEsAPEAKn AND ONO CANAL - The
Senate Committee of Investigation into tie
affairs Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
have examined a number of witnesses touch
ing the charges of corruption and msman-
agement brought in newspapers and on the
stump against the President and Directors
of the Canal. AS yet none of these charges
have. been substantiated, The editors of the
journals foremost in making the allegations,
when under oath, have admitted that they
knew nothing personally oftbe matters alleg-
cd, but that they were common runor; nor
could they, SO far as We can understand, fix
point where those rumors started Thus
fur MIR. German, the President Of the Canal,
has had decidedly the advantage of his nc
cusers, and it begins to look as if the damag-
ing reports were, after all, nothing but Radi-
cal dynamite, intended to blow up the whole
Democratic party, but which failed to OK
plode because of the worthlossness of the
material used. -...-.

IMPROVEMENT OF STocK.-The stock of
horses in Hartford county has been gradual
ly improving for the last few years, by the
introduction of thorough-brcds. 1t costs no
more to raise thoroughbred horse, which
Will bring in the market 81 900 or 81 500,
than to raise scrub for which 500 or $3.50
would be large price. AS q source of profit,
therefore, the attention of our farmers has
been drawn in this direction. The latest in
PRODUCTION is by Mr.. Johns II. Janney, of
Indian Spring Farm, Deer Creek, who re-.
Gently purchased from Mr. Frank Morris,
the well known breeder, Of Frog Neck Farms.

Barbarian, by imported Eclipse. The pedi-
gree OF this horse is most excellent, and be-
ing found in the Stud Book Register, it is
undoubtedly genuine. 1t is gratifying TO
know that our most enterprising and intelli-
gent farmers are alive to the importance OF
raising the best stock Of all kinds.

THE OLDEST DECLARATION OF INDEpEN-
DENCE.-We have been shown the original
manuscript of the Declaration of Indepen.
dence made and signed by the revolutionary
patriots of Hartford county,, at u meeting held
at Hartford Town on the 22d March, 1875.
This declaration is older than that of Neck
lenburg, North Carolina, which was made in
May, 1775, and antedates by more than
year the Declaration of Independence by the
Continental Congress- July 4th, 1776. uar.
ford Town is Bush of the present day, and
the house in which the meeting was held was
an old tavern stand, the ruins of which are
yet TO be seen at Bush. We will publish next
week copy of this interesting and valuable
old document, with list of The signers.
The suggestion is made that the descend
ants Of these signers hold a meeting in Bel
Air on the 22d of March next, for the pur.
pose of duly celebrating the 101st anniversa-
ny of the Hartford Declaration of Indcpcn-
dence.
SAD RESULT OF MENTAL ABERRATIoN.-
A correspondent gives the following particu-
lars of the suicide of Mr. Thomas Street,, of
this county, which occurred on Sunday last {:
On Sunday evening, 18Th INST, the quiet
community of Chrome Hill was startled by
the intelligence that Mr.. Thomas STREET., a
well known gentleman of the neighborhood,
had been found dead i'm MIR. e. s. Rogers
mill dam, on Deer Greek. Mr.. STREET. had
been unwell for several months, but it was
observed his malady had grown much worse
about week ago, and a physician was sent
for. His friends did not anticipate any seri-
GUS results from his disease, but thought he
would soon recover. On Sunday morning
lie appeared much better than usual, and was
visited by number of friends, and conversed
quite freely but about p. NJ, he went out
of the house, and managing to elude the vigil
lance of his family, (who in about five min
utes after his disappearance began TO search
for him) proceeded to the place above stated

BROTHERS SHEARMAN AND BEECHER ,one
as the clerk of Plymouth church and the
other as pastor, are working up the Advi-
sorry council faithfully. 1t is announced
that every State north of Mason and Dix
on's line, as far West as Kansas, was in.
cluded in the invitations sent out. There
will be one hundred and seventy lone
churches in the list and twenty clergymen
who have no pastoral charges. The New
York Tribune, Beecher's organ, gives the
following in relation to the matter: The
list includes the presidents of six colleges
and members Of the faculties of four theo
logical churches. The total number of del
egates will be over 300, much larger Con
gregational Council than has ever been con
vened before. OF the churches which hav,
been invited nineteen were founded previou
to the year 1896 and eighty-nine before th
year 1776. Plymouth Church, in imitation
of the two churches that called the Brook
lyn Council of 1874, will pay the expense
of the pastors and delegates, thus enabling
many to come who could not afford 70 do ~
at their own cost.

1T is significant that the most important
of the few Republican journals in the South
heartily support Gov. Chamberlain in his
opposition to Moses and Whipper. That
"red-hot" thlrd-term organ, Tile Montgons-
cry State Journal, says: "The two men are a
disgrace to the Legislature that elected
them. On the bench they would do South
Carolina infinite harm and damage. Cham
berlain took the only course an honest, up
right, patriotic man could take in oppos-
ing them. To oppose Chamberlain now, is
to give aid and couutenance to these two
men. Not only that-it is to give support
to the Democracy. The Identification OF
Moses and Whipper with the Republican
party means nothing less than an utter Re-
publican overthrow in the State. There is
only one course the Republican leaders at
Washington can pursue with safety They
must unload Moses and Wbipper. They
must show that the Republican party has
no room for such men. Next, they must
support Chamberlain. He is fighting now
the cause Of good government everywhere
His hands need to be strengthened and up
held by all who have the power to give him
support

What do the changing seasons bring"
Full nests the storm will render mute,
And blossoms over-thick for fruit;
TOO soft a breeze, too blue sky,
A day the morrow shall deny:
The tickle, fair, delusve spring!
What do the flying seasons brirgc
The tumult Of the thronginr sensc
The leaping blood uMtainetr, intense:
A fire that strike through heart and brain
A fierce delight that grows to pain,
And summer bloom that hides a sting!
What do the passing seasons bring?
Ripe fruit that withers in its prime;
Strong grain that drops at harvest time
The splendid c3lors Of decay;
The fever wasted autum day,
In its gey mantle shivering!
What do the fieeting seasons bring?
A lifeless desert, pale and waste,
With frozen silence overcast;
Forgotten dreams Of long ago.
Buried beneath the winter snow
And, far beyond, a hope Of spring!

to the Washington correspondent Of the

success Of the Republican party, and such
candidate should be nominated as would
insure both-that is, the peace, happiness
and prosperity of the country, and the per-
petuation of the party which preserved the
Union from destruction. These are my

THERE will be NO effort spared to save
Babcock. Grant will himself descend from
the Chair Presidential and take the one in
the witness box Of st. Louis Court to lift
his eloquent voice in defense of his private
secretary. The conviction of Babcock
would be stunning blow to the admins
tration; the feather that broke the camel's
back, would be nothing to compare with
this. In facts the administration cannot
allow 1t, and If its influence can prevail,
will not allow 1t. ISL
