MONDAY, FEBRUARY IA. 1876

The deposition of the President, to be used
in the trial of Gen. Babcook, now pending at
ST. Louis, was taken Saturday, the Chief JUS
tice Of the United States administering the
oath. In addition to Mr.. VIM. A. Cook, at
torney for Gen. Babcock, and Mr.. Eaton, rep
resenting the Government, there were present. ::
Secretary Bristow and Attorney General Pier
rcpont. The President commenced giving his
testimony at eleven clock, and concluded at
2 p. NJ. A phonetic report Of the testimony
was taken, which will be sent under seal to st.
Louis. Why summons, rule or an attach
mept could not have carried the President to
ST. Louis, to be examined like any other wit
ness, we can't exactly understand, as this Is
country, in which foreigners think. one man is
as good as another, and as his official duties
confne him so little that he is continually
travelling about the country on pleasure cxcur-
sions. 1t will also be recollccted that, though
witness, President Grant would not testify IN
the Black Friday case.

At meeting of the Maine Republican Cam
paigu Club, held last Saturday night, MIR.
Frye, member of Congress from that State,
asserted that the 'Ku Kux spri, is not dead,
but is awaiting only the time when it shall have
the power TO assassinate and rob the freedmen
without stint. He said that it was mistake
to suppose, az many had been led to, that the
Republican party would be stronger as CON-
promise party. 1t would be stronger to tell
the truth, and the one thing more than ano,h
or that has helped MIR. Blaine as Presidential
candidate is his declaration of war against the
old rebel Democratic oligarchy who live upon
hatred of everything born on the free soil OF
the North" Unfortunately for Mr.. Frye, the
coored, Senator Bruce who knows about what
he is talking, tells different tale.
