WASHINGTON. February 8. 1876.
President Orion. of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, who was here re
Gently, is said to have admitted that the
records Of this Company in New York,
recently examined by him by order of
the United States authorities, show
plainly that Bsbcock is guilty.
The impression, founded on various
reasons, that Babcock will be convicted,
is steadily growing. The positive conf
dence of District Attorney Dyer, when
here a short time ago, has much to do
with the state Of opinion.
Surface Indications are that the SEM
blancs Of peace between Grant and Bris-
tow cannot last much longer. The
President seems TO be daily growing
more irascible and displeased with the
S%ecretary's course, and it does not seem
probable that he will be able to control
his wrath much longer.

The Opening Of the BabcOck Trial.
St. Louis Republican, sth.l
at ten o'clock there was g rpstle at
the side door, the marshals raped
sharply and demanded order, and Judges
Dillon and Treat entered and took their
seals. A moment later the party of the
defendant fled into the courtroom.
General Babcock, upon whom every eye
was turned, came in with his counsel,
Storrs, at the head of the line, and took
his seat at once. The general was clad
10 q close-6tting suit Of black, the Goa
buttoned tightly about the waist. Upon
his right sat ex-Attorney General Will
liams, and upon his left was seated Mr..
Storrs. Just behind Storrs sat Judge
Porter, of New York, and TO his right
again sat Judge Chester Krum. Upon
the left Of Williams sat the brother Of
the defendant. At the table assigned to
prosecuting counsel, Broadhead, Dyer,
Bliss and Eaton sat together.
THE DEFENDANTS PARTY.
After court was opened the defendant
sat gazing about in an interested way
leaning back occasionally to exchange a
word with Judge Porter. judge Porter
is a man of exceptionally fine appear.
snce, apparently about fifty years Of
age, angular in expression, sporting a
grisly moustache, and wearing specta.
cles-just about such a man, in fact, as
the illustrated papers represented him
during his active participation in the
Beecher trial.
Ex-Attorney General Williams is a
man Of an altogether different type. Tall
and portly, with gray side whiskers and
mustache, full cheeks, eyes of q deadish
hue, clad in a suit of bleck which lies
everywhere carressingly against the 70.
tund form, his general appearance was
sleek and deprecsting. He studied every
move in the proceedings intently.
C. W. Babcock, who sat to the right o.
the Attorney General, would never BIZ
recognized as General Babcock's brother
we're the relationship unknown. The
Generals mustache and imperial are Of
a reddish brown. G. w. Babcock wears
a heavy beard, dark and tinged with
gray, and his general air is he-yy ant
solid. BE spoke scarcely to any one
aud watched every move Of the court.
Marshal Campbell, the father-in.law
sat in another part Of the room, anC
previous to the opening of court engaged
in conversation with several people, be
ing apparently we'll known to most o
those present from his fermer residencl
10 this city.

AN AMERICAN CENTENNIAL BOOK.
Hon. William E. Robinson, for many
Hears one of the editors of the New York
Tribune, widely known over thirty years
ago as the Washington correspondent of
that paper under the signature of '.Rich-
elieu," and recently member of congress
from Brooklyn, has been engaged for
some time in writing, and will shortly
publish book on thes' Origin and Source
OF the American People," in which he
will endeavor to show that Irishmen and
their descendants now form decided
and overwhelming majority Of our pop
ulation. and that a large majority of the
emigrants to this country, prior to the
the revolution as well as since, were
from Ireland. That the Irish element
is and has been foremost and truest in
the American army and navy, in the pull
pit, at the bar. on the bench in medicine
on the the press, the stage, in art, in
vention, discovery, literature, legisla-
ito, n Commerce, science, music, archi-
lecture. schools, Colleges and public
works. That the revolt of our colonies
the declaration OF Independence, the
Victories by sea and land, the thinking
and the fighting of the revolution, the
formation of our Constitution and the
inspiration of our government, were
largely and chiefly the work ct Irishmen
and their children.
In order to make his book as thorough
as possible, he solicits information, by
letter or otherwise, from all persons in
the United States and Ireland whose an
cestors or kindred emigrated from Ire>
land to this country, and whose names
deserve mention in such work. Mem
bers of Congress, Governors and officials
Of the several states, officers of the army
and navy, editors. members of the bar,
Judges OF courts, clergymen of different
denominations, Mayors and other officers
of cities, presidents and professors of COLI
leges, teachers of schools. and all mer
who have made their names honored ir
the United States, and who were born ir
Ireland. or inherit Irish blood either or
the father or mothers side, however re-
mote, or their friends. will confer tav
or by sending to Mr.. Robinson the name
the year OF emigration, and county O
place of birth in Ireland of himsel for an
cestor or kindred so honored.
