New York, April 10. - Tho Suns
Washington special says the confessions
Of Whitley and Net.leship are undoubt-
eddy true in the main. There may be
some trifing inaccuracies in Nettleship' :
dates, and perhaps disposition on the
part of Whiteley to screen certain of
his favorite subcrdinates who remained
true to him uuder all circumstances
bat, taking. it altogether, the testimony
of these tao will stand all tests that can
be applied. They fssten the tolls around
General Babcock and Harrington, ard
despite almost superhuman efforts t.
save them, .heir doom is sealed. But.
viii these two niscreants have 10 expiats
the sins OF other and perhaps Cuiltier
men bshind them? 1t is plain that nei-
| Their could have any motive 70 originate
such a conspiracy.
The Worlds Washington dispatch
says there wss prospect that the Pres
| idert would go on the stand in regard to
the safe burglary business. but it now
| seems that the cases against the corspi-
rators were dismissed, no: by order of
the President or Babcock, but by the
Attorney General. on the ground thai
the Supreme Court Of the District has
decided that the Grand Jury who in
dicted Harrington ard others were lie
gally impaneled. It will be shown,
however, that the suits were abandoned
through White House influence. Bah
cock has been in consultation with the
President to-day, and protests his limo
cence az vehemently as he did in the
whisky frauds. He gees before the
Committee again to-day.
The Suns Providence Rhode isiand)
correspondent gives what it calls start
ling disclosures CT corruption and
bribery il the late election il Rhode
Island, and iutimates that Senator An
thony and his friends bought votes q;
ten dollars per head TO secure the Sena- |
torship. lie also intimates that eau
dlIate for Governor was nominated who |

Republicans are equally 10 blame with
the Democrats. because they do 10: look
after thinss, but leave the Democrats to
run them in their own way at their own
whimsical pleasure. The Republican
members OF these committees do not
know what testimony has been taken,
and are compelled to inquire OF witnesses
who tell theIr volunteer stories to Demo-
cratic members. II the testimony reveals
Democratic crookednsss it never goes on
the record. Otherwise the witness is
very frequently called to testify with one
1r two Democratic members present.
He is questioned sufficiently 10 mako
the desired effect. The witness is then
discharged without cross-eXamination to
.est his credibilitv or to discover what
motive he has. The Republican mem
lers should insist now that witnesses be
at the regular meetings; not
% protect thieves, but to SEQ that re-
'pectabls persons regulations are not
'miTched by par.isanship. The conduct
If the Naval Affairs Committee is still
worse, as it sits with closed doors.
Jlymer's committee, 1t must be admit
ed, has a remarkable sense OF Justice.
Chey called crazy man to tell false
tory Of MeigS, but called the latter i'm.
nediately AMI let his statement ard the
Department record 60 out with the tes-

nittee have q blackenel reputation like ;
hat Of Meiss. The above is not de- +;

'efore the committee. Let him cut

o have traded on his name and friend A
hip. If there is any other defense, it Q
