Sun from Washington says Gen: Bah
cock has been dismissed from the White
House In deep disgrace. An investiga-
tioIb being made as TO the manner IN
which the confidential letter OF the At
torney General to district attorneys was
made public, showed that Babcock fur
nished u copy to his counsel, Emory
Storrs. The President charged Babcock
with 1t, and Babcock could not deny It.
The letter was never intended for publ.
cation. but the Attorney General wished
to warn district attorneys that no guilty
man could escape punishment, however
much he might reveal against Babcock
or any other high officials whose names
had been connected with the whisky
ring. 1t opportunely fell into Babcock's
publication has made general the con-
demnation OF Grant and his Cabinet,
and SO scandalized the bar OF the United
States that it has been made the subject
OF congressional investigation. Bah
cock is sent out Of the White House as
a scapegoat, and his name is enrolled
beside that Of Belknap.
