An hiatus Of some five or six days
la our Geographic reports Of the prog
ress Of the Babcook trial gives occasion
for the expression Of some feeling on
u part concerning the manner in
which the summary Of the Eastern
dispatches are made up for the "in-
tsriof press" We do not attribute the
blame ~ the Western Union Com
pany. W. have no fault to find with
It unless It be responsible for
the acts Of the genius who summa-
rizes the Associated Press kilograms;
our news items from San Francisco are
generally full and we'll chosen; our
dispatches OF all kinds have recently
BEEN promptly received, and the COM
pauy's employees At Eureka are court
sous and obliging. But that manipu-
lator. by whomsoever he may be en-
ploysd, tries our usually exemplary
patience. Take this Babcock trial for
instance. For . month and more the
entire country has been ringing with
tho preparations for and the details Of
the great cause. It Is an event of great
national importance and upon its re-
suit may and p ably will % q great
extent depend the character Of the
coming political " for the presi-
dency. Now, sincsAt the 18th instant,
this illuminated compiler has not
vouchsafed to us one ray of light from
st. Louis. During the earlier stages Of
the affair we were kept tolerably we'll
informed, but as the interest culmin-
ated, ~ the denoument drew nigh, this
lightning dilettante dropped tho nat
ter altogether. It might DO Of inter-
est TO all others, but it palled upon
him; it bored him, and he turned from
II to the far more congenial p~utrescence
Of the Beecher nastiness. On the 10th
instant Attorney General Williams in
Dictated the line Of defense to be adopt
cd. OF this we were informed. On
the 18th General Sherman and one or
two other witnesses were worn as to
the previous good character of the ac-
cused. OF this, also, we were informed;
and here a information, as fAr as de-
rived from tho source to which we
have . right to look for it, ceases. In
the meanwhile, as we gather from ex-
changes forwarded to us q distance of
over 500 miles, the evidence for the de-
Senss has closed; the opening argu-
ments for the prosecution have been
delivered; distinguished counsel for the
accused have made their appeals to the
jury in his behalf, and the case has
been closed for the Government. The
Judges charge was to have been deliv-
cred and the case given to the jury on
Wednesday last, and still not a word
from our dolce far miente reflector be
low. Again: On the ed the Demo.
