TINE TRIAL OF BABCOCK.
Col. DYER's SPEECH FOR TIE GOVERN
| MENT.

ST.. LouIs, Feb. 23.-Dist. Attorney
Dyer commenced his closing argument for
prosecution in the Babcock trial to-day, he
disclaimed the idea of having been led into
the prosecution of an innocent man. This
case he characterized as remarkable and
the'course Of defense as still more 20. He
accused Judge Porter of trying to drag the
President into the case needlessly. The
President was not on trial. 1t was intended
that Babcock should stand on his own
merits in this case, and that no verdict will
be wrung from the jury BY pretending that
the President is on trial. He denied that
the President had been assailed either by
Colonel Brodhead or himself. He accused
Porter Of prsising Grant and johnson for
effect on the JURY. No one believed, or has
the right to believe, that President Grant
was in any way connected with the whiskey
ring. The Government does not propose
that Gen. Babcock shall escape because he
is the PRESIDENTS private Secretary. There
has not been anything stolen in this country
the last ten years, but when you naboeo
the thief, the cry arose that 1t would
damage the party. The party was not able
to save Mcdonald and Joyce, and 20 tat
President was invited to save the defen
dant. But this will prove equally una
vailing. -------
