DISTRICT ATTORNEY DYER De-
CEiVED.
EFFECT OF ENVY IN
THE CABINET.
CHARGES AGAINST THE
NEY-GENERAL.

ST. Louis, March 5.-The Times to-day
publishes a somewhat lengthy statement
OF what purports to be a part of the Sc
cret of the whisky ring prosecutions here,
and especially the Babcock trial. 1t as
serts that Attorney General Pierrepont
was very active and Jealous in the prose-
cution until Babcock was indicted, when
his ardor cooled and he began to use his
influence and power Of his office to save
that gentleman. With this view, it is
asserted, the Attorney General sent for
District Attorney Dyer to come to Wash
ington. Dyer went, and while there
Pierrepont, on the plea that it was very
important and even necessary that he, as
the head of the Department of Justice,
should know
What the Prosecution would be
In the Babcock case, obtained from
him and by the greatest and most in
exhaustable hypocricy,a detailed state
ment of all the oral testimony against
Babcock, the whole plan of the prose-
cution, what he intended to prove by
each witness the order i'll which he
intended to present the evidence, &C.
This information, it is alleged, Pierre
pont made over for the use of Babl
cock S counsel, in order 10
| Defeat the Prosecution,
And this, too, with the Presidents s
knowledge and consent. Mr.. Storrs,
the senior counsel for Babcock remain
ed in Washington, and whatever
Pierrepont obtained from Dyer in re-
gard to the case he first reported to the
Pr sident, and after consultation with
him Storrs got the benefit of all he had
learned.
The Attorney Generals private Office
was the place where the plans to defeat
the government in its case against
Babcock were matured. Every night
preceding the time set for Babceck's
trial, Babcock and General Horace
Porter met Pierrepont in his office and
Iclosely studied every point contained
in the evidence for the government
land prepared to overcome it.
BabcOcb admitted to the Conferences
| General Babcock was admitted tc
the conferences between the President
and Pirrepont when the plan was frs
arrainged, and whenever Dyer sen
