r. A. Woodward said, yesterdays "The

TIE nEpARTMENr or LESTLcE.

The country is full of rumors about the
AttOmcy-General's management of the recent
Government prosecutions, and if half that is
alleged can be established he must have been
prOsttuting his Office TO protect thieves and
swindlers II is stated that during and before
tho BabcOck trial he concerned himself with
great zeal OF the side of the defense that he
caused the prosecuting officers at st. Louis to
disclose all their evidence to him in advance,
and then laid it before Gen. Babcock that
the chief bureau of the defense was III the
Department of Justice at Washington that
q great deal of testimony was suppressed
with Mr.. PicrTcpOnt's cOnnivance; that wit
nesses were intimidated by a threatening let
ter addressed to the Western District -Attor-
news and Immediately communicated in some
mysterious way to Gen. BabcOcks counsel !;
that the prosecution continually thwarted
by the principal law officers of the Govern
ment in short, that ever since the indictment
of Gen. BabcOck the Treasury Department and
the Department of Justice have been fighting
each other, the Treasury prosecuting, the Ring
and the Attorney General practically defend
ing it. Tn like manner it is rumored that
Sir PierrepOnt purposes, by direction Of the
President, to put a stop to further disclosures
like that of Marsh by prosecuting the men
who make them. Nobody supposcs that there
is any desire to acquit Gen. Belknap; Gen.
Grant and all his friends are too mad at the
Secretary who has been found ont TO show
him any leniency but if there are any more
scandals in the background it is the determi-
nation of the White House clique that they
shall not be allowed TO come ont.
Such, we say, arc the reports i'll circulation.
We regard them with great suspicion. We
believe that if not false they are exaggerated.
Mr.. PieITepOnt is gentleman OF whom we pre-
fer to think we'll When he entered the Cabinet
it was supposed that Gen. Grants incOnguous
political family gained something in respecta-
bility. But the country cannot afford to rest
in any uncertainty as TO the stories now in
circulation Mr.. PieTepOnt, if they are untrue,
cannot afford to leave them unrefuted; the
Republican party cannot afford to shirk q
rigid investigation of them. They disgrace
of Gen. Beknap. The House Of Representa-
tiyes must see to il that the truth is brought
10 light without delay. There must be a
searching inquiry into the operations of the
Department of Justice in the BabcOck case,
the consequences Of the Dyer letter. the man
ner of its publication, and the reported pro-
,ceedings to indict Marsh and intimidate the
various post -tradeIs whom the Committee has
still to examine. II Mr. Pienepont is innocent
Of the misconduct imputed to him, let him be
vindicated not merely for bis own sake but for
the honor Of America. II he has been unfaith-
ful 30 his duty for the sake Of pleasing the
