Sr. LOUIS, No.. February l9.-The argu-
meHts in the Babcock trial proceeded to-
day as follows: Mr. Broadhead opened
for the prosecution and Mr.. Storrs followed
for the defense. Esch went into thor
ough examination OF the testimony, the
one conIending that the evidence was suf-
ticient to convict {; the other, that il was to-
tally inadequate in fact, there was no
testimony whatever, connecting BIbcock
with the conspiracy.
During Broadhead's speech, he made
some remarks which not only produced
sensation IN the court room, but attracted
general attention, and caused much com
ment outside.
Referring 20 the revocation Of the order
by the President changing supervisors, the
Colonel says: The explanation which the
President and Supervisor Tu:tnn gave for
the revocation OF tha; order, were not al
all adequate to the act. They explained
that because the supervisors all over the
country had learned of the order some days
before, they had time To straisrsn up their
affairs ii anyihins was wrong, and there
fore the whole scheme would be defeated.
But such Ias not at all the case.
The order, "a suggested originally
and the President himself claims
the credit of twas intended not TO dis
cover frauds already existing, but 10 Sc
cure future benefits. 1t was held that the
di tillers had gotten into such ruts with
the old supervisors that the new ones
would readily catch them.
The Colonel repeated that the reasons
given by President Grant and Mr.. Tuition
were not at all sufficient, as they amounted
to really TO reasons at all. There we're
other and more powerful Influences brought
to bear, and the exigencies Of the
case seemed to be such that
the President stepped down from his high
position to interfere with the duties Of one
Of the Department officers The order was
revoked, too, by telegraph, which, Of itself,
was strange proceeding, and questionable
in law. This suspension was made the day
after Joyce telegraphed Babcock to push
things against the weakening enemy.

dwelling upon each point with great par
ticularity, and weaving the whole into
connected story. He combatled, step by
step, and point by point, the evidence Of
the prosecution, showing its weakness and
insutliciency TO connect the defendant with
the conspiracy, and claimed that, after
roDbing the cradle and the grave, invading
the telegraph offices OF the country, and
using all the power OF the Government TO
procure testimony, they had found but
