BABCOCK ACQUITTED

sCFEEs IN COURT AT THE CLOSE OF THE
GREAT TRfAL-TEE vERDICriN WASH
INGToN.
Spc ial Dispatch to the Times.
ST. LOUIS, February 24.--To-day
the great trail of General Babcock was
brought to sudden termination.
Judge Dillon's charge wits II very leng-
thy document, making about eight
columns of closly printed matter. He
consumed the entire morning session
in reading it, and to say that it was
favorable TO the defendant is mild
assertion. He seemed to not only be
in sympathy with Babcock, but a
strict partiality was observed in every
sentence for him and those interested
with him. The court was adjourned
after 12 o'clock, and the jury was
taken in charge by the United States
Marshal and escorted to the jury room
the court re assembling the Marshal
informed the judges that the foreman
declared they were ready to report, A
breathless silence pervaded the room
The defendant stood and viewed the
twelve men, who were soon to decide
his fate, with II look of anxiety that
only one in his situation could wear.
1t was scene that we seldom witness
Upon the Judge asking the foreman
for the verdict he answered that the
jury found the defendant not guilty.
The news spread over the city like
wildfire. Extra editions of the several
papers were issued from all the offices,
and the excitement was intense. As
TO speculation we can only say that the
opinion Of large number is, that it was
certainly the most hurried verdict
ever known. Immediately after the
verdict being rendered the jury were
discharged. Scenes in the court room
of defendants counsel congratulating
themselves with the jury were notice
able also the defendant shaking hands
with the twelve men who had just
pronounced him not guilty of one of
the highest crimes and misdemeanors
that it is possible to be charged with.
The Verdict ut the Capital-All Sorts of
wild RumOrs Afioat.
WASHINGTON, Februaey 24.-The
acquittal of General Babcock at St.
Louis to-day has caused great rejoicing
here among his friends and among
army people generally. The prevailing
impression previously was thatt he
jury would disagree, and therefore a
good deal of surprise is manifestedat
the result.

| 10 the Editor af The Tribune.
| CHICAGO, Nov. 25.--For the past few weeks a
| number Of paragraphs have appeared in the
columns of your paper regarding the Central
| Reform Club. A reply was sent to your office
On the 31st Of last month, but you failed to
publish it. cannot be persuaded that you will
permit such an injustice to be repeated.
have been suffering from 4 very severe at
tack Of Inflammation OF the lungs since the Sth
Of this month, and up to Thursday of this pres
ent week was not permitted to leave my room.
I did, however, violate orders On Sunday, the
18th, and have since paid dearly for my indls-
cretion BY severe relapse.
I could not, however, see statements so far
from truth appear against me without making
an effort TO stop The tongue of scandal This
state Of things will answer for my apparent
want OF diligence in following up those para-
graphs as they appeared, aud a number OF
which may not have seen. Now to facts: The
gross amount of funds subscribed to the Cen-
trail Reform Club was S150, and this was snh-
was subscribed BY John NJ. Armstrong. he
failed to negotiate the loan upon Which he
based his calculations to run as an Indepcnu-
ent candidate for Sheriff. Not one dollar
was subscribed By Congressional candidate.
No one was personally solicited for sub
scription to the fund Of the Central Reform
Club. When the ticket was made up the candi-
dates we're notified, and reasonable time ior q
reply allowed. They we're then notified OF
their assessment and time fixed for payment.
II the payments were prompt then all the ms
chinery which was Organized wunla have gone
into rapid motion. The time having arrived
and not sufficient funds received, the running Of
general ticket was abandoned, and all further
subscriptions were refused-a number Of which
were rendered. Unless all paid full ticket could
mi he rim. So we stOpnud riuhf where we we're
and our full attention given to the persona1intcr-
ests Of those who had subscribed. They have been
we'll and faithfully severed. The only people
who can find so deeply interested in this mat
ter is number OF professional dcal-bcats, to
gether with number OF our glorious ward
patriots, who presumed that had t. bar'l u
Of money to sling around among the boys. I !
have paid out more money than received, and |
In addition lost two months time. But do !
not propose to be black~mailed by gang Of !
idle scoundrels. Yours, respectfully,
