GEN. o. L. BABcocK-Allow me to con-
gratulste you in having escaped coming

bills on 'em? Avery is mad about il, and
says If he had p aged the same game
he'd have got of. and he threatens to blow
things. You must see the old man and get
him out OF this. JOYCE.

DEAR BAB.-Being somewhat familiar
with the conduct OF legal proce edings,
consider the result in your case one of the
most remarkable evidences u 6ob record OF
what a jury can do. Take to lecturing

than upon Columbis's free soil

straight after this and be virtuous if YOU
would be happy. LADY FRANCIS.
CINc1NNATI JAIL, Feb "a.
o. L. B.-Permit me, etc. Don't sse how
it was done. Always knew you'd come
out, though, for the old man don't go
back on his friends.

cocks at West Point, and was sfterward

DEAR BAB.-I'll be out of this arrange
ment soon-it's only thirty days-and I'll

New ORLEANS, February "a.
BABl Glory bs to Godl We fairly tore
our shirts when we heard the verdict.
Now Inst you ara foo'-loose, you must
help the rest out. / suppose you know
I'm indicted here. The juoge is Billingsby,
who, as lawyer, drew the midnight order
for which Durell is removed. L got B. the
place and he's under my thumb, and II
tried before him Pm all hunkidori. But
they want 10 transfer my case to Indi-
annapolis, and If it's done Pm simply gone
up. That id judge there would send the
president himself to the penitentiary.
Now you must see that the transfer
doesn'G take place. don't want ony fool
ing about this matter. You might just as
well go to headquarters at once, for If you
allow me to be convicted, rll blow The
gaff right through from 10 lizard.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a.
o. E. B.-Good for you, old fellow! How
did you manage to work it? thought ]
had it all set. Paid one fellow $4,000
who said be could fix q certain iurymau
Pm out on bail, and thought may be 1t
bts; way to do was inst TO pay the bal
bond, and net go back. Don't you think
they could be induced to drop the matter
/ could keep the matter quiet il it wasn'
for the internal newspapers, but they have
no more respect tor the president than IL ht
wasn't president. Then ii we get joyce
pardoned and let the thing die out, We
might start again in year CT two.
AVERY.
NEW YORK, February "a.
GENERAL BABCoCK-Our hearts have
been with you in all your trials. That az
finity of soul which makes US one with al
those who despise the conventionalities o
a false modern life, has caused us to weeI
when you wept, and your sorrows have
been ours. This thing which men anC
women call virtue is mere idea, of which
practically, we know nothing, and wheI
felt assured that you had only don,
what even those who profess to be ths
purest and best would do every day, haC
they but the truthtulness and courage Il
act out the true inwar 1ness of their nature
