Mr.. Yates spoke in defense of the

considered disloyalty to the Republican
party as disloyalty to the Government.
He denied ii, and said that because the

to the Republican party, they were
taunted as rebels, while those who
were brought over, such rs Governor
Holden and General Longstreet, were
considered as patriots and he believed
were thought more of than those union
soldiers who belonged to the Democratic
party. He said that Grantism in the

Attorney General Pierrepont Tries
TO Explain.

WAsHINGToN, March 23.-Attorney-
General Pierrepont was before the Judi
ary Committee to-day, in regard to the
executive interference with the late
crooked whisky trials in the West.
Pierrepont's account of his circular letter
10 the District Attorney is that the
President was very much disturbed at
the constant receipt f newspaper slips,
and letters and personal statements,
giving information OF attempts on the
part of the government officials in
the West to compromise the frauds on
the Revenue ard that the President
spoke to HIM on or different occasions
expressing his fear that auch thing if
allowed would bring scandal on the adj
ministrstion. Pierrepoint himself was
rather inclined to treat these statements
as suggestions, and did not believe that
the District Attorneys or special counsel
OF the Government would
be guilty of anything i'm
proper in the matter. He had there
lore rather have warded off the Presi-
dents advances until finally the Pre,i-
dent suggested that the Attorney Gener-
al had better write to the
District Attorneys on the subject
Pierrepont had therefore prepared aud
forwarded letters c0uched, MS he said. in
terms that were rather tame. Nobody
bad made or sugg, sted draught Of this
letter, and he had not submitted it to the
President. In fact, the President knew
nothing of it for three or four days after
L.. h., ,a1.nI
whether he had taken any action in the
matter, and then he told him be had
written this letter, and he sent him ii
copy. A couple of days afterwards
on discovering that the letter Lad
been published in the Chicago papers.
on the lst OF February, himself and
Mr.. Bristow expressed great indigns-
ton in presence o! the President at the
gross impropriety Of giving publicity
10 it, and tnen the President who did
not manifest any feeling whatever on
the subject remarked he had never read
the letter. Mr. Pier.epont further
stated that General BsboSck hd-
mitted to him on the Ord of March
that he was instrumental in giving
publicity to the letter, and defended him
self on the ground that they were trying
TO destroy him, and that he had the right
to defend himself. He Pierrepontl
called the Presidents attention the next
day to Babcock's admission.
The committee wanted to know wny
Babcock did not call for Court Of In
quiry To ascertain whether he hsd been
guilty Of conduct unbeoming an officer
and gentleman, and whether be wss
still commissioner of public buildings
and grounds, &c, but PIerrepont was
unable to give information on these
points. His examination will be con-
tinued next Monday.
