RETURN OF GENERAL BABcocK-Hrs RECEPTION
BY THE Observation-Disclosures RETIRE
MENT FROM THE PRIVATE sEcRETARrsHIP
General Babcock and Mcssrs Avery, Luckey and Will
iams arrived this morning from ST. Louis in special
directors large number of friends had gone
down to the depot to receive General Babcock. He
shook hands with them and then quickly driven 10
his house, where his wife nnxiously awaited him. He
had brief interview with the President during the
day. and the latter received him with much OF his old
warmth Babcock looks pale and worn from the men
tai anxiety through which he has passed
Tho opening OF business the Executive once in tho
morning will doubtless bo followed by an early
nounccment ofthc retirement OF General Babcock from
his position OF Private Secretary TO President Grant
This is the expectation OF those who profess to be
of the relations OF the President and his Secrc
iary, but IL can be said at tho time that nothing
definite or positive has been done by the President
yet in the direction OF disturbing General Babcock fur
ther than the suggestions of the Cabinet to
accept his resignation.
There is good authority for saying that in tho matter
OF fseparatng from the President General Babcock has
been the FIRST to act and move. AS early the day
when the fact OF his indictment officially made
known 10 him at Washington he rendered his resspa-
ton TO the President and insisted upon its acceptance
He was desrous of relieving tho President from any
embarrassment his official presence at the White House
might occasion him, e-en should he return from 81.
Louis acquitted OF the charges which he
indicted. He felt that number Of circumstances
had unhapply occurred which, in the result OF
acquta could not but render his position of Private
Secretary TO the President unpleasant not disagree
able and there is Tor believing that ir his
ignation had not been placed in the Presidents hands
with urgent demand Tor It's acceptance tho
pcrsuasons OF the Cabinet ght have failed to induce
the President to part with his Private Secretary at
this time In act so reciprocal is the good under
standing OF the President and General Babcock with
reference to this luckless business that the President
will retain General Dabcock in the several civil posi-
tons he now ILLS in the local government Of the Dis
frict OF Columbia and at early day promote him, It
s said, TO an advanced rank in the army
