PRESIDENT GRANT ON EAEcOCK.

In the deposition made by the Presi-
dent We find an unva.ying tone Of frank
ness and an Unbroken expression Of conf
dence in the honesty and faithfClness OF
General Babcock. we quote as follows
from the body Of the deposition as re-
ported for the press:
Q-Eave you ever seen anything il
the conduct of General Babcock or has
he ever said anything to You which IN
dictated TO yOur mind that he was III any
wav interested or connected with the
whisky ring at So. Louis or elsewhere7
A.-Never.

public interests and as evincing his tidei-
Ity and integrity. has he performed his

THE AUSTIN AND BATT.-E NOUN
TAIN RAILROAD

As a matter Of iateres. to railroad men
IS well as the general public, We repro
duce the following from the Reese River
Rerele o. Feb. 10:
We have made basty examination OF
the report and maps OF the survey OF the
line OF the Austin and Battle Mountain
Railroad, male by Amos bowman, In
gincer in charge. The maps and report
are fUll IL every particular; but too VOLT
minoIs Tor even a isynopsls III the CO.
lumDs of the Reveille. They are CON-
prehensive 20 the minutest detail. and
cover every possible matter in connection
with the road, so that with the time and
space ut our command It is utterly In
possible for Us 10 attempt TO furnish our
readers with even an outline. When the
extent and eonprehensiyenesS Of this
work are thus stated, /: VIII lie readily
understood why its completion WAS 50
long delayed. The preparation Of the
maps and report have occupied the time
Of one man steadily from the completion
of the survey up TO the present time,
and glance at them will convince the
most skep,ical that tie engineer IN
charge has honestly earned his money.
For the completeness and thoroughness
of the work. VI. bowman and his assis-
tants are emitted 70 the highest praise;
for the work is no, only done N neat
and workmanlike manner, Uuttle slight

THE New York Herald's moral con-

As among the fixed, solid and organic
parts Of our governmental structure,
but it emits an opinion, now and then
which is not altogether valueiess-or,
1T any rate, not dissonant from our
own convictions-as for instance
1t seems to be an unnecessary waste
of money fer the London correspond

him on this side of the -l;,5sntic. Times
are hard now. and we may have news
of importance soon. So do not waste
any more money on Weston. We do
not care TO hear about him, at least al

We cannot help agreeing with this
view of the case. Indeed, we may go
further and say that we are not very
