GEN. BABcoCK'S acqui.tal by the
st. Louis jury is destined to produce
result not generally anticipated,
though its fitness and propriety viii
scarcely be challenged. The Presi-
dent, though firm in his belief in
the integrity of his confidential sec
rotary, was assisted by the develop
Inents of the trial in arriving at the
conclusion that Gen. Bahcock had
been guilty of official indiscreton,
and, presumably, that his actions had
reflected unfavorably upon the Adj
ministration. The same process OF
reasoning seems TO have been EN-
ployed with referenc to Col. Luckev
who has been the Presidents private
secretary in fact, though not nom.
inally holding that position. 1t was
announced yesterday to the Cabinet
that President Grant had concluded
To dispense with the services o
Messrs. Babcock and Luckey il

secretaries. Ii was also determine,

ment in the Babcock trial has give

evening meeting of the church last
week was jolly--like dance at a

iul Sherman frequently provoked
laugh. In view Of Mr.. Bowen's re-
fusal to be more explicit in his
charges and proofs, and of his pre-
cipitate withdrawal from the COM
lnittee, he is to be called before the
church this evening to answer orally
questions rs to accusations and in
situations against the pastor. In
support of this course Mr.. Sherman
made u speech, which is reported as
follows:
Mr.. sherman said they wanted to deal with
MI Bowen ~ u member. They had more af.
lection FOR him than ever, and did not want to
