Attorney General williams Speech
for the Defonae.

Attorney General williams Speech
for b Defense.
ST. LOUIS, February l6.-Immedi-
ately upon the opening Of the United
States Circuit Court this morning ex.
Attorney General Williams arose and
addressed the jury, opening the defense
Of General Babcock. The courtroom
was %througed, the greater portion Of the
audience being attorneys. Very few Of
the government witnesses we're present,
the most Of those from Washington hav.
ing been discharged from service and
allowed to leave the city. General Will
liams devoted considerable time TO an
argument of the probabilities in the case,
and to criticism Of the evidence for
the government. Assuming that what
the government had presented was
competent evidence, which wal BY
no meSns admitted, General vii
lisms said the case might present
some suspicious circumstances, bat BY
no lean the ground on which to base a
conviction. BE then proceeded with
some explanations which would throw a
different light upoR'the communications
between Babcock and the ring. At that
time, he said, Joyce and Mcdonald were
trusted officials. men Of influence and
possessing confidence with good people.
Babcock, on the other hand, was q warm
hearted, con6ding, generous man, who
did not give up a friendship once CO.
mented for the whispers of calumny.
Everything presented by the defense
was incomplete and could not but leave
q painful uncertainty in every mind as to
whether it was to convey a proper
suspicion or to simply indicate q weak.
ness Of the Judgment to which every
one was liable. The quantity OF this
kind Of evidence, said General Williams,
avails nothing. A house is made Of
bricks, but a million Of bricks, scattered
over an acre Of ground, does not make a
house any more than two bricks do. Gen
eral Williams then traced Babcock's mill
tary career from West Point, which he
eulogized as a place where honor and
honesty were inculcated aad where
thieves and robbers we're not educated.
de told OF the defendants service in the
late war and how he rose to be chief Of
engineers in the Ninth Army Corps and
atterward TO be aid 10 Lieutenant Gen.
oral Grant with the rank of brevet briga.
der general. A good deal Of attention
was given to General Bsbeock's relations
to the President and to the trust and.
confidence rsposed in him az private
secretary to the President. In one sense,
General Williams said, be became a part
OF the Executive; his OHicial d~eIinouen.
cieS would more or less reflect D o and
degrade the Chief Executive of the ma
ton; no inEratitude would be 60 black as
his 1t he would bring dishonor on one
who had put such confidence in him.

Reeeher's Trial before the Advisory
C0unctl.
NEw YoRK, February l6.-Whsn DR..
Leonard Bacon, Moderator, called the
Advisory Council to order this morning,
not more than half the members we're
in their seats, and the galleries were
only half full of spectators. The exer-
cises began by singing the hymn, II
Love Thy Church, o God Delegates
and church members we're arriving freely
now, and when the business hour arrived
there was a good attendance Of both. III
Rev. Dr.. Boil, Of Mansfield, Ohio.
offered the following resolutions;
Resolved, That it is our firm belief
that Rev. d. W. Beecher is innocent Of
the sins and crimes laid to his charge.
Resolved, That we regard with pro.
found admiration and gratitude the un.
shaken and loving faith, trust and
devotion Of the members Of Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn, to their pastor, es.
pecially because by these we have been
enabled to arrive at all the facts by
which we know he is innocent; and es-
p~ecially so because thus they have ex-
empli6ed the beauty, fidelity and glory
Of the faith as it is in Christ Jesus, our
SAVER and our Lord.
DR.. Bell, attempting to speak on the
resolutions, begun by saying, Mankind
we're waiting to know the opinion of this
council in regard to this matter" when
he was interrupted by a point of order
that the subject of the resolutions was
not given to the business of the council.
The Moderator decided the point we'll
taken, and the decision was on an appeal
by DR.. Bell, who alone voted in the
negative. l8
Mr.. Sherman protested against being
called upon to present the ease of Ply.
mouth Church in the absence of the
committee, and then was read ex.Deacon
Vests protest, presented yesterday,
against the submission to the council Of
any other questions than the guilt or in
nocence of Mr.. Beecher. and asserting
that the whole cause is contained in the
extraordinary conduct of Plymouth
Church in dropping from its roster the
names Of Theodore Tilton and Mrs.
Moulton. The protest was referred to the
special committee previously appointed.
Mr.. Beecher announced that Mr..
Sherman would represent the case Tor
the church and said he or | or either
of us will be subject to such inquiries as
may suggest themselves to the minds Of
the council"
Mr.. Shearman made az exhaustive
statement of the case Of Plymouth
Church, traversing oil the ground gone
over yesterday by the pastor and DR..
Edward Beecher, aud taking up 10 ad-
dition the subject Of the mutual council,
arraigniug Mrs. MoultOn for her action
throughout.
The argument of Mr.. Shearman was
interrupted by a recess taken to give the
committee an opportunity Of getting
through a vast amounted work they have
upon their hands.
