BABCOCK sC0UITAL.

As fOreshadoWed in our remarks last week
on the trial then IN progress y, ST. Louis, Bah

court in the progress of the trial and the iral
charge to the jury left them no other choice
than to bring in verdict of acquittal.

the Judges vino presided Al this trial were
corrupt, or that they iudccently or unduly
favored the accused. " lille there was abund.

were robbing the government. Not to have

Ofcourse the rejoicing among his friends,
both a, ST, Louis and in Washington, over
the verdict is extravagant and unbounded.

the widest carousals that ever disgraced the

MIR. CAMPBELL'S SPEECH,

We send to the readers OF the IELE TRADER
today, in the form OF supplement-, inc
speech recently delivered in Congress by the
Hon. 4 Campbell representative from th'S
district, in which the "hOnorabE gentleman
sets forth in detail and explains and defends
before congress his new MONETARY system,
which he has been trying TO ex)lain and dc'
fcnd before Caucuscs meetings and conven-
lions in his district for the lasiiitteon years.
We lay it before our readers simply as Il mat
ter of fair play to Mr.. c., and certainly not
because we endorse his ideas, ether in whole
or in part, for IN the sense and with the an.
mus in which his utteranCcs Tc made, we
cannot say that we fully endorses single point

immense amount of verblagc and great
deal of peculiar phraseology, AM surrounded

substantially that which was endorsed by the
recent Independent Convention at Decatur.
