Among the letters at the head.quar
tiers of the National Committee in New
York on the 10th inst, was one from
Hon. William N, Thompson, Senator from
the Sixteenth District and member of the
County Committee of Fernandina, who
in his letter, dated September 8 says: L
write to correct a statement made by the
Her0Ids Washington correspondent of
the SOth of August TO the effect that our
candidate for Governor, Judge Bloxham,
is telling his supporters by way of en-
couragement that at the last election in
Georgia he voted three times and added,
'snd don't you forget it. That article
proceeds with the statement that all we
care for is the election of our State ticket,
and that the Hancock electors are OF little
importance to US. To begin with, Mr..
Bloxham is no Judge, and never was, but
10 q farmer; he never made any such
speech as is charged, as he never lived
anywhere else than in Florida, where he
was born. That MIR. Bloxham will be
elected by at least 5000 majority there
il not the least shadow Of doubt. That
the Hancock electors viii receive . ma

Colonel D. P. Dyer, of St. Louis, says the
Boston Globe, who was United States District At
torney for Missouri during the famous whskey-
ring trials IN 1875, has just returned from visit
to the plains In an interview with reporter of
the Post DespGtch he said that he believed Bah
cock was deep in the plot by which the govern
ment was robbed of millions. The letters which
Mcdonald has recently given to the public, Mr..
Dyer is confident, were in Babcock's handwrit-
ing When asked if the General had narrow
escape, he replied: Il think there was evidence
enough to convict produced at the trial, but am
satisfied that Judge Dillon, before whom the case
was tried, was impressed with the idea that Bah
cock was all innocent gentleman who had been
Over-reached and trapped by Mcdonald and
Joyce, and his charge to the jury was such that
acQuitlal followed. have reason Ia believe that
he has since modified his opinion" General Bah
cock is now an ardent supporter Of General Gar
field.
No one who attended the whiskey-ring
trials, and watched their progress, and the
manner of witnesses, defendants, counsel,
judges and spectators, can have failed to
arrive at the same conclusion. 1t was
commonly remarked about the streets
during the trial that Dillon had saved
Babcock's neck" and many believed he
permitted his partisanship to outweigh his
judicial reputation, while others gave him
credit for an honest belief in Babcock's
innocence. The fact that Judge Dillon
has since modified his opinion" is har
monious with either of these theories.
Colonel Dyer has just been nominated
bv his partv in Missouri for Governor.
and it remains yet to be seen whether he
will not suffer at the hands of his political
adherents for his frankness and honesty
in thus affirming the existence of one of
the worst features-the connection of the
White House with it-of the whiskey-
ring conspiracy against the government.
