A Card.

EDITOR INTELLIGENcER: Please al
low me space in your columns tor q few
words. A card appears in the Register
in reference to Mr.. Thompson's leaving
st. Johns church. It is certainly true
that he has left. and Ged grant that all
true hearted men and women who have
not left, may do so when they sec their
error. But to the point: The card
over the signature of Mr.. Dudley Smith
states that they wore not aware that
their pastor was going to leave, which
is a falsehood of the darkest color. He
also makes the assertion that Mr..
Thompson denied having any intention
OF joining Zion, which is also . lie Of
Mr.. Smiths W manufacture. We are
sorry that matters are thus, but we are
in the stream and must swim or drown.
We see also that the gentleman says
that the only reason that MI. Thompson
alleges for leaving was that the church
was starving him. have good reason
to believe that Mr.. Thompson never told
any person anything to that effect.
suppose that the %gentleman's conscience
condemns him for requiring a man. his
wife and two children, to feed and clothe
themselves on fourteen dollars per
month; and to preach ten months for
n hundred and forty dollars. Any
body that . count three and seven can
see, that to eat and starve, all at the same
time, they had only eleven cents each
per day. The gentleman should try
that where he is n year, and see if he
would not hunt something softer.
think there is a passage Of scripture
which says that "the laborer is worthy
of his hire" Ii Mr.: Thompson had been
upbraided by any one besides a whisky
barrel l should say more, but as all the
respectable members of Mr.. Smiths
church are silent. l shall close with
long farewell to all. Come where you
can be free.

b Mr.. William Israel, living six miles south

night last, III losing, by fire, thirty.two pens
OF corn,- containing fifty-fve barrels each.
The fire is supposed to have been the work
of On incendiary. This places Mr.. Israel IN
. very bad situation, as he had not paid any
rent for the farm upon which hi lived, aud
the corn was his sole dependence for paying
that and other debts. He has the sympathy
Of the entire community. Mr.. Bladford,
. who had rented the farm for another year,
also lost some %seventy-ive barrels Of corn,
by fire, at the same time. 1t was his only

BABOOOK.

The Kansas City Times st. Louis
special correspondent. of February
Gath, has this to say of the final dis
position of the Babceck case: s..
The circuit court did not open till
after IL O'Clock this morning, the
judge being engaged i'll preparing the
charge to the jury. The charge is
very loug, probably six columns, aud
contains nearly all the kilograms and
letters offered in evidence, and copi-
Gus extracts from the presidents de-
position, interspersed with COM
ments. .
Judge Dillon, who read tho charge,
said,two main questions arose, one az
to the existence of a conspiracy, and
the other the connection OF the de-
feudant with it. The first question
re9ired bat little attention, as the
counsel on both sides seemed TO adj
nit that as q fact. The jury were
cautioned to be guarded against pub
lie clamor. They We're also reminded
that the government owed duty to
its citizens as we'll as 10 its revenue,
and it lay i'll its province TO acqui: as
we'll aa convict. The prosecution pre-
seuted no evidence to show that the
nection with the conspiracy or had
written q direct
ADMISSION OF 1T.
The law, however, didn't require
this, asst was a case of circumStan,ial
evidence. The evidence of Everest,
yv I'm fnoiloi . lnttn. S,Ien u,,t,f, Ia,
thought he saw Joyce put q five hun
dred dollar bill, and the evidence Of
Magill, who took 4 similar letter from
the letter box and gave it to Joyce,
vert considered and their crcdibillty
left to the jury. No debate idea OF
the charge can be given in this brief
synopsis.T The jury retired at about
one o'clock.
At. the opening of the court this at
ternOon the motion fOr Il new ria
in the Mckee case was taken up, all d
the argument begun.
At twenty-five minutes past three
the jury in the Babcock case sen,

ty." Some demonstration i'll favor
of the defendant was made, but ii
was quickly stopped. There was d
general Misunderstanding, however, anu
Con. Babcock crossed over TO the
jury, and most heartily and fee.ingly
shook the hands OF each jurymsn, anC
thanked them warmly for theil
verdict.
The Gen. aud friends then left the
court and started for their hotel
On reaching the street the party was
neartiiy cheered by a great crowd
congregated III front of the Custom
House, and almost everybody seemed
well pleased at the result.

Corrections.

In the report of the Tea Party, in our
last issue, we accidentally left out the
anne of Mrs. Ireland and Mrs. Clagett,
as managers at refre >hment tables. The
fault was 20 altogether ours, but we are
sorry it happened, rs we always try to
give correct reports. 1t seems that we
also got report Of the vote of the
cakes wrong. The cake we mentioned
as voted to tue most popular lady
should have been TO the ..preltiest'' lady,
and Uice refsa. 1t is a thanklcss task
to make report Of such an event, and
the wonder is that We got it 50 nearly
correct. OF course we took notes from
the managers, who were supposed to
know, and if they gave us incorrect in
formation we are hardly responsible.
We hope no M took oflense at any mis-
take on our part, Tor non was intended.
