St. LOUIS. Feb. lG.-fmmedialcly
upon the opening Of the U. S. circuit
court ex-attorney general Williams
arose and addressed the jury, opening
the defense of Gen. Babcock. The
court room was thronged, the greater
portion of the audience being attor-
ncys. Very few Of the government
witnesses were present, the most Of
those from Washington having been
discharged from service and allowed
to leave the city. Gen. Williams de-
voted considerable time to an argu.
mcnt Of the probabilities in the case,
and 10 criticism Of the evidence for
the government, assuming that what
the government had. presented was
competent evidence, which was by no
means admitted. Gen. Williams said
the case might present some sus-
picious circumstances, but by no
means the ground on which to base s
conviction. He tisen proceeded with
some explanations which would throw
a diflerent-light upon the communica-
| tions between Babcoch and the ring
at that time. He said Joyce and Nc
Donald were trusted officials, men Of
q r-t- .
influence and possessing confidence
with good people. Babcock on the
i other hand was u warm. hearted, gen.
erous man WHO did not. give up Il
friendship once. commenced for the
whispers of calumny. Everything
'hpresentcd by the prosecution was in
competent and could not but leave q
, painful uncertainty on every mind as
Ito whether it was to convey a proper
/ suspicion, or TO simply indicate 4;
weakness Of the judgement to which
} every one was liable. The quantity
? of this kind Of ofcvidcnce. said William!

vides that not more than $500 men

ment to the rules for the government of

ment.

A resolution reported by
the majority of the Ma
val committee referring the case

priation bill becomes law, and to

preparations for the various departments
of the government until August.
The speaker laid before the House

ferred to the committee on appropria-
tions.

New York, July 31.-About one
thousand working men met in Tompkin's IS
square to-day. They declared that
thirty thousand men are out of employ
ment in this city, who are daily search

living on the charity of friends and
neighbors. They then formed pro-

men, marched to the mayors office in
the City hall.

A Nail Robber Caught.

Columbus, July 31.-John Reeves,
for thirteen years an employee in the
Columbus postofice, was arrested this
morning for opening letters and alb
stracting money. More than six
months ago losses in the mails were re-
ported by the Columbus office to the
department, and since then special
agent Henry and the postoffice officials
have been engaged in an investigation.
At last suspicion attached to Reeves,
and he was shadowed and watched
through perforated walls. Although
detected two or three times of late in
opening letters, he was not caught in
the act of abstracting money until this
morning, and when charged Herewith
he confessed the crime. He has been
taken to Cincinnati for examination.
Reeves was an active member of the
Methodist church.

Philadelphia, July 31.-The mulatto
man, George, who recently asserted that
Charley Ross was alive and well and
that he could find him, has suddenly
disappeared, it is supposed in conse-
quence of Charley's father telling him
he could have him hung, which appar-
emily alarmed him. Ross believes that
George has seen Charley since his alb
dnction. He did not seem anxious to
get the money now, and said it would
cost about forty dollars to go to where
the child is.
