* THE-TRIAL of Gen.“}‘Babcockg for complicity in the great whisky frauds, is in progress at St. Louis. A mem- . ber of the ring swore that he enclosed - @5OO check in an envelope and sent it .to that gentleman -without one .word of explanation. On Friday it was proved, by Major Grimes, that - Babeock had corresponded ‘with Mec- . Donald while the latter was under in--dictment, sending s letters under ~ cover to a third party, an act that ~ awakened the suspicions of the Major, while the testimony of Commissioner Douglass shows that Babcock and the other White House folks | took a deep interest in the Whisky ' Ring, and.that the Whisky Ring was £ a power at the White House. Babcock’s attorneys made a desperate effort to keep all the ‘telegrams and let_ters ¢onnected with the-cage from the ‘jury. Judge Dillon, however; decided _ otherwise.

. It is'a generally admitted fact that the State of Indiana is afflicted with a largéer per cent. of shyster lawyers than any other State in the Union. Almost-every county has its proportion, and somé counties considerably, more. They are generally regarded a nuisance, tolerated only because there is no way of successfully ridding the community of their presence. Every effort tending in this direction deserves special colmmendation. " - - At Fort Wayne, J udge Carson has quite_recently -exercised the authority wested in him in such. a way as to remind shysters that though they may gain admission” to the Bar, there are _certain’ limits that cannot, be over'stepped with impunity. A fellow, named Westrumb, who advanced from constable to attorney at law” at a single jump, appears 'to have ‘heen guilty of grass deception and fraud in his transactions with dn unsophisticated client named Mrs. Wolf. In “ taking - cognizance -of Westrumb’s | shyster operation, Judge Carson took ' occasion to remark: The constitu- | tion of: Indiana fixes as the only re- }< quisite in a candidate for hdmission | to the Bar, “good moral character.” It is a matter of regret that.thereis no ’brovision‘ of law by which-a peérson 5 desiring to practice law 18 required to § possess any legal attainments. A car- | penter or a blacksmith must serve an x apprenticeship, but anybody ‘can as- | sume to be alawyer whether qualii fled 'to act in that capacity ot not. { For this reason an Indiana lawyer is ! regarded with suspicion outside of the i State, and justly so. . The cox}lft held | that all judges and respectablelawyers | should unite to elevate the profession, { and read the provisions of law which ! state the duties of attorneys. o

° Judge Carson maintained that after .a person is once admitted to the Bar, any unprofessional or dishonorableconduct on his part willabundantly justify a jndge-in disbarring him. If a lawyer attempts to ktir up difficulties and produce lgjf;iga'tibn for his own personal benefit; or if he beging

a suit without express alltl'lor}t3'; he renders himself liable to be disbarred.

‘A general crusade, dirécted by ‘the united efforts of j udges and attjbmeys. against the shyster fraternity, would have a salutary effect. ~ |

- HOW UNCLE SAM IS FLEECED. There are few readers of »t‘l;é papers who do not récoll_ect someihing of the “Chorpenning case,”: so ‘elaborately discussed during the canvass of 1813, 1t was shown, during the progress of that memorable campaign, that the way to build up a successful- claim against the Government was to fail to comply with contracts for carrying the mails.. Each successive: failure became the foundation of .a fresh claim more impudent and draudulent than its predeces‘s'or,' until. Chorpenning is now before'the court of claims with'a demand for a balance of & half milljon ollars or thereabouts. .One of the ways in which the contracts for earrying the mails are’ let is illustrated byxa cdse which was ex;iosed the other week by-the committee on post offices and post: roads.. John A. Scudder, president of the St. Louis and Memphis packet.company, appeared before the committee and testified that in 1871 his company -njuﬁb ‘a Lid for the contract to carry the mail fram White river, Ark,, to \Tické-‘ burg for $7,000 a year. A straw bid for $6,800 was placed ‘in‘the.department for the same service and one Pr.! Peterson was awarded the con-' tract at $lB,OOO a year, the company’s bid being entirely ignored. Peterson did'not eyen own a “dug out,” but what was. much better he had a friend at court in the person of Gen. Giles A. Smith, the second assistant postmaster general and head of the .contract bureau. Peterson.sub-let hiscontract at $lO,OOO a year, or $3,000 more than Seudder’s bid, clearing $B,OOO for the first year. For the next threé Jyeais he managed to get .from the department $27,000 a year for service which he was sub-letting at $lO,OOO a year. Thus in about 4 years Peterson made $60,000, while the Government paid $70,000° more-than would have been required had the contract been originally awarded to Scudder’s company. He is doing better still, for it appears that he has failed to pay the packet company $lO,OOO for his last year’s contract. i - '

- - REVERDY JOHNSOR. * This eminent jurist ‘and statesman died suddenly at Anndpolis, Md.,-on ‘the 10th inst., being found dead in the grounds, of the Executive Mansion. 1t is supposed that injuries received from & fall was the cause of his death. .The deceased had attained the ripe age of 80 yéars, having been born in 1796, and 'his death is ‘the close of a career of useful service and distinguished -connection, with the public affairs of the nation. After graduating at Annapolis, he studied law with ‘his father, who was at one time Chief Judge of the First Judicial District, and afterwards Chanegllor of the State of Maryland. Mr."J :i.mson’s marked abilities soon gained’ for lim a high place in his profession, and from 1817 to 1825 he' filled various positions of honor in his State, having reached the ~proud distinction of leader of the Ma‘ryland Bar. He went into the United -States Senate in 1843, and in 1849 received the appointment of: AttorneyGeneral by Zachary Taylor, in which ‘capacity he served until that Presii dent’s death, when he retired from | office and devoted himself chiefly to his | profession, practicing in the Supreme Court of the United States.. Ih 1860 - he was an ardent supporter of Stephen A, Douglas for the Presidency. e ‘was a member of the Peace Congress in 1861, and the next year found him ”-agaiin in the Senate, as a Union Dem~ocrat. Andrew Johnson’s' impeach‘ment trial, in 1868, brought Reverdy Johnson into fresh prominence as counsel for the President, by whom 1 whe soon afterward sppointed Mindster to England.

~ MISCREANT AND LIAR, BOTH. = A few weeks sinece we made men- 1 tion of the charge preferred against one Dr. James P. Hambleton, clerk of the congressional Wa§s and Means committee, of having named one of his children John Wilkes Booth, in honor of the assassin of President Lincoln. Hambleton persistently denied the accusation, and sucyae'ded in obtaining from the New York I'ribune a retraction, which we quoted. On the 4th inst,, Dr. Hambleton published, in the New York World, a letter in which lLe branded the charge a “stale slan'de},x'," a “baseless lie,” a “bold and infamous calumny,” and at‘tributing its origin to ex-Governor Bullock, of Georgia. By way of Postseript, the Dr. added to his denial the followings © | : 3 : P. S.—As the public seems, judging from the;, frequent mention of the. fact, greatly exercised about the naming of my children, I will state for the: benefit of those who would like ‘to know, that I have)a son nanred Benjamin and one named Oliver, neither of whom, however, is called l for Ben. Butler or Oliver P. Morton. This explanation is mads in anticipation of the future, and for the 7'ritbune in particular. ol

" The brazen effrontery of this man Hambleton has been met with the resurrection of afuneral notice published | in the |Washington Patriot of July Bth, 187‘2?: 5t o

“HaMBLETON —At the Exchang}a Hotel, Washington, D C.,on fthe morning of iJuly 3d, 1872, at ten minutes p.:}u sgven, of mflammation of the brain, Jous' W, B. HaxsLETON, aged 6 years, 4 months and 17 days. youngest son of Jamrs P. and Marrtaa L. HaMßueron.” of Atlanta, Ga..

7 uavmg\cnaﬁglengeu proot to gustaln the Z'ribune’s charge against Hambleton, ‘the latter certainly cannos complain that he l\;is thus been confronted with indubialle evidence of his infany and barve-faced lying. Col. Morrison, chairman of the committee ‘of which Hambleton officiated as clerk, is t()q patriotic a man to suffer the reteption. of an employe guilty of the

devilish and brutal act of applauding assassination by naming his own child after the murderer .of President Lincoln—a man whose merdory is cherished by millions of devoted countrymen, ' Hambleton was promptly requested to resign; with.which he as promptly complied= Col.. Morrison accepting the resignation in a note that leaves no doubt as to its meaning:

Hovse OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10, 1876.— Dr. J. P. Hambleton, Clerk ‘of the Ways and- Means Committee—DEAß Sir: The charge so often made and so often denied by you|that you had named & son after the assassin of Mr. Liincoln, I have until now wholly disbelieved. Recent developments ‘which shiow your son to have been nzm’ledﬂor recognized by the name of John %V. B. Hambleton give at least a semblance of trath to the charge. With the slightest appearance of the truth of such‘}n\@ﬁge, I have but one duty to perform=that is, to accept your resignation offered some time -ago, which I do hereby.

* Respectfully yours, = s "W. R.MORRISON, Chairman Com. on Ways and Means.

~ In justice to Col. Morrison it should be stated that he seen:s to have been forced to accept HHambleton by supetior influence which he did not feel at liberty to witf)sta_nd. Joseph B. Chandler, of Chicago, private secretary of J udg;e 'Douglzgs, was a candidate for this.position.| He 'was indorsed by Judge Caton, ;McCOrnﬁick, and other leading Democrats. Chandler, like Morrisoft, had a gdod record as a Union soldier, but Morrison, it is very well understood, was requested to appoint Hambleton by persons whase requests seem to have been law. This appointment was no doubt made by Morrison in ignorance of Hambleton’s infamous record—which, as later developments pr'goye, isthatof a sy’stematic l{latcklnztifler, spy, smuggler, perjurer and scoundrel. - :

: BANKRUPT ACT. = . The bill to repeal the Bankrupt act passed the ITouse on Tuesday of Jast week by asstrong .vote of 183 to 57. If takes effect from and after Janunary

Ist, '1877. The first section repeals the bankruptey act of the 21ist of March, and all laws and par‘rt.s of laws! amendatory thereof, and supplemental thereto. The second section provides that all suits and proceedings now pénding in the United States Courts, wherein an adjudication. in bankruptey. Hias been made, shall be proceeded with and be governed by the. provisions of existing laws, which are continued in force only for the purpose of closing up suits and proceedings now pending.. The Bill received the almost solid vote of the Democrats. It goes tothe Senate with a technical defect in the title, and will h)ave hard work to get through that Body—at least without amendment. SOMETHING GEMNT NEVER DID. Commissioner Pratt lagt Friday received by express a haljdsome goldheaded " cane, forwarded to him by a subord,iqate in the Revenue 'servi‘cé.

© MEXICAN BORDER OUTRAGES. General Ord was before the House Special Committee on the Texas border troubles on Friday, and detailed at length the present condition of affairs along the Rio Grande. lle said that the raids are of almost daily occurrence, and it is impossible to stop them with the military force. under his command. The Rio Grande river is of such nature that the chanunel is congtantly changing, and wherever theé river recedes from the American side, leaving & strip of land where the channel existed, the Mexicans settle upon it and claim to have exclusive jurisdiction, and refuse to cross to the Mexican side. The raiders are assisted by these squatters, and their presence aggrm%teé the existing. evil. General Ord said that the raids could be stopped and peace restored along the border. TSy

. En Regard to Selling Wheat. ; In the Chicago T'ribune- of the Bth inst., a correspondent undertakes to demonstrate that it is wrong for that journal to convey the impression that it will pay the farmers to hold on to their wheat.. The writer says:

““It has been a terrible year for country collections. partly on account of bad roads, and partly because the papets have taken the ground that next summer_ prices must be higher, and many good merchants have been obliged to go tothe wall in consequence of it; for when the farmer won’t pay, the country merchant can’s-pay his debts, angl trade is stagnant. It seems to me you have friends in town as well as country, and it is at least possible that you may be mistaken in your estimate, and that now, while speculators are doing all they can to hold up prices, hoping Micawber like, for something to turn up to help them out, and farmers are holding back and staving off debts, and paying high rates of interest,—l say it may be possible that this is the best time to sell, and certainly the merchants and manufacturers are entitled to their pay, and need it very much indeed. ILast year the farmers sold grain too sooen, and this .year it may be possible, though I don’t claim to know anything about it, that they will hold too long.” i The Elkhart: Union thus comments. on the above: “In regard to holding wheat in this locality, we are told that in a little cirele in the neighborhood of Gabriel Pontius, south of here four or five miles, there is now stored some ten or twelve thousand bushels of wheat waiting to be marketed. There is a similar state of affairs all about in this section, and if sold it would make a difference.” ’

Fort WAYNE, Ind., Feb. 18.—This morning the dam on the St. Joseph’s river, 3 miles eastf this city, which was construeted for the purpose of supplying the Wabash & Erie Canal with water through a feeder, gave away, almostdraining the canal dry. The river began to rise rapidly, and soon inundated farms and roads adjacent the point where the St. Joseph's. and St. May’s.rivers unite'to form the Maumee.

HAS BEEN DELAYED. @ .‘ G : FOUR-F(FTHS OF THE DEMOCRATS OP- - | POSED TO INFIATION. | .=« WasHINGTOX, Feb. 13.—The desperate efforts which the Administration ‘organs are making to have it appear that the Democracy are hopelessly di'vided do not promfise to pan out as well” as was expected. An actual count:of noses has established it as a fact that fully four-fifths ofithe Democratic members are opposeEl to inflation in any form, and the majority “intend to very speedily prove this te the country.. The repeal of the Resumption act of 1875 is already assur“éd, and the apparent delay is caused simply by the fact that the leaders are not willing to repeal the existing law before a sound currency bill to take the place of the present law has been fully agreed upfm. Senator Thurman helds this opinion very decidedly, and he is sustained by the great body bf | the Democr:it.é here. It:is probable that the Dbill which will be agreed upon Wwill be conservative in® tone, seeking first to take speedy steps to-

ward resumption, and second not to take them faster than the sentimént and the best iuterests of the country will permit. /The sound features of Mr. Payne’s bill providing for an/ dccumulation ofgold first and ‘a eomplete resumption when the amount of that aécumplation shall agérégntea certain per cent. of'the whole debt, may be expected to be the main features of the bi1,,l which the Democrats will try to malke a law'if the Republicans of the Senate/will assist., - .

An Om?iha dispateh says: * About five o'clock Friday afternoon two boys, sons of A. E. Thomas, a conductor on-the Union Pacific Railroad, while playing in thie hay I.ft of a 1 barn set fire to the hay. The youngest, 3 years of age, was burned to death. | The body was foundin the ruins. The oldest eseaped unhurt. ‘ Mrs. Ellen Cushing, the widow of ° the unfortunate manm'who was burned to death_in the calaboose, in Independ-. enee, Towa, last spring, has commeneed .suit against Jagnes Moroney, the keeper of a low groggery, for damages in' the sum of $lO,OOO, for selling lig- . uor to her husbaund, and.thus almost directly contributing to his death. A telegram from Nicholasville, Ky., says: James ‘A. Evans, a highly esteemedscitizen of Jaspar county, was called out of his house at 12 o'clock, Monday night, by an anknown assussin and shot, the ball entering below the right ‘nipple. ‘ls was. cut out by the surgeons near the spinal column. Evans’ condition is very critical. The mail pouch from New Orleans to New York, of the; 7th inst., wds found Saturday evening in tle Choctaw swamps, near Mobile, and about 1,500 letters, containing - drafts and foreign exchanges to & large amount, were recovered. - All the damaged let.ters and drafts will be returned by .mail to New Orleans for identification. ~ Indiana, Michigan and Illinois have: suffered heavily by the late storm. Nearly 200 bridges -have been swepf away, many of them’ valuable struct‘ures, and miles‘of pikeroad have been destroyed in Indiana. The loss‘on mill-property, which we have roughly estimated from meager réturns is not less thansl2s,ooo, and railroads in the, istorm-swept' sections have suffered: heavily. : : : L . ‘Last August a medical student, named. Warren Parker,ran away from Adrian with another man’s wife. He also forged a note on one of the citizens, which He gave as security for money. borrowed from a young lady of ‘that city to whom he was engaged to be married. He was arrested at LaFayette, Ind., where he was living with his affinity, and acting as agent for ‘tﬁ@ Singer Sewing Machine Co. The jury in the ease of C. K. Landis, on: trial for shooting Carruth, editor of the .Vineland, N. J., Independent, have returned averdict of “not guilty on account of insanity.” Ahe circumstances of this affair aresstill fresh in the mind of the publici Carruth through, the columns of his paper pursued Landis and his family with the most fiendish malignity. Nearly every issue of the paper contained a pointed allusion to some member of Mr. Landis’ houseliold; the sanctity of the family circle was outraged by the most glaring newspaper attacks, and Landis foreibly driven to frenzy visited Carruth in his' editorial rooms and shot: him through the head. It was supposed of course thatCarruth would live. but a few days, but.he lingered along for months, was able to ride out, and for a time attended to his business, but finally died from the effects of his wound. The verdict is not at all a .surprise to those who have kept them‘selves infornmied of the circumstances of the ease. i

: Hog Statistics. : : CHICAGO, Feb.l2.—The Commercial Bulletin published the following estimate of hog-packing of the West today: The total number of hogs packed ‘and estimated for the season is 4,000,000, against 5,570,000 for the previous season. The increase in weight is estimated at 7% per cent, net weight, making ;i the total packing equal in poundsjto-5,225,000 hogs of last year’s average. 'The decrease in the net weight is estimated at 74,000, 000 pounds. - The ‘decrease in the green piece meats is estimated at 60,000,000, and the .decrease in cured meats, allowing 1 per cent. more shrinkage than last year, is 65,500,000 pounds. The increasein the yield of lard is estimated at 4l pounds per hog, and the total production 581,000 tierces, against 592,000 ~tierces last year. The prospeet for'summer hogs is reported unfavorable, owing to the fact that .farmers have sold oloser 'than usual ‘an[g‘geholera has prevailed to a greater extent’than usual among the stock-hogs.

Another Horrible EX])‘O_!idl!. | On Saturday afternoon a terrible ‘explosion occurred in the Exeter mine, belonging to the: Lehigh Valley Coal Company, and located in West Pittson, Pa. The mines had been idle that week on account of the suspension, and though the fans which supplied fresh air to the chambers below have been kept going all the week, the quantity of air forced into. the mihes was not sufficient to expel all the foul air and prevent a circulation ' of fire-damp. “The immediate cause of the explosivnis not known, but, sufficient knowledge is gained to lead to the belief that one of the men ens tered a chamber with a lighted lamp, and that its sparks ignited the _gas whieh had accumujated there.—x _since the 7th inst.about twenty-five ~men had Dbeen. engaged to repair tracks and gang-ways at the headings.

WAS SHE DEAD? | ‘A First-Class Sensation at White | e Eigpan. 0 D (From the Three Rivers Herald, Feb. 12.) . Our neighboring town of White Pigeon has been agitated from center to circumference for the last feW days | by what may be termed a first-class sensation, and as tliére has been con‘siderable excitement uponthe subject | we have been to some pains to get the: ‘particulars of .the singular and exciting affair, and as near as wé can gather them they are about as follows: The subject of this singular and re- | markable® event was Miss Fanny | Woods who resided with'her !foster father, Fred. Woods, a quiet, respectable farmer, living two miles west and three-quartérs of a mile south of White Pigeon, where he has resided | since 1834, Mr. Woods is now living with his third wife, his second wife having hung herself in a corn erib | some eighteen yedrs ago, This family ‘never had any children of their own, | but about fourteen years ago a sister of the présent Mrs. Woods died in| Pennsylvania leaving two young children; a boy and girl. These children were adopted and brought up by their aunt, Mrs. Woods, and Fanny was one of them. About three weeks ago Fanny was taken sick and was attended by Dr. Blackman. " Her disease kwas‘ complicated and, somewhat ob-: geure but was in the nature of a general decline. On Friday afternoon-of week before last, February. 46h, she ! died suddenly,althpugh it was thought | she could not recover. The funeral jj was appointed to take place at the

Puesbyterian Church in White Pigeon in the forenoon of the following Sunday, the Pusfor, Rev. Gilleland, to ufficiate. On Saturday afternoon I\%l Stotts, the undertaker, took the coffin: cut to the residence and in assisting: to place the body 1n the coffin heowas struck with the: remarkable appearance of the corpse,—it was so lifelike—héicould not. make up his mind that it was really a corpse. He therefore declined to fasten on the Lhid for the present. | The next ‘moruiug the people assembled preparatory to: the funeral. The undertaker and minis--‘ter had arrived, another;view of the corpse was taken, nmo change in ap.pearance had taken place, a consultation was had, when ‘it was decided to send a messenger to White Pigeon and summon 4 physician to meet the proceSsi@n at the church for the pur- - pose of éxamining the body. Accordingly Dr. Mandigo was summoned, the procession had arrived at the church, those composing it and the people generally hadpassed :in, the ‘coffin was removed from the hearse to the vestibule where the doctor examined the body, there was still the same life<like appearance, that same roseate hue upon the cheeks, the same warmth and pliancy of the fiesh, to which the doctor e)%pressed himgelf' as utterly astonished and unprecedented. Not-' _withstanding he thought she was dead, yet, as -a 'matter of ‘precaution hLe thought it advisable' to postpone the burial. It* was then .decided to announce to tne audience thén assembled in the church, and who were as yet’_entirel’y’ ignorant of all these proceedings and all these surmises, that the, funeral exercises would be postponed until the nextforenoon atleast. This announcement, made as it whas, go unusually and so unexpectedly, created as might beexpected the:most | profound sensation.” The mere supposition that a human being could by any possible mistake be buried while yet a spark of life Temains is too hor‘rible to contemplate even for a moment. - The reader can probably in some degree imagine ‘the feelings ar'd sensations that pervaded the entire assembly as thesé sudden and startling * disclosures were made. . 4

As the funeral -was now’ postponed tor at least one day, the coffin was replaced in the hearse, the procession re-formed- and returned to the residence. As a matter of ¢course there was an intense desire to see the corpse and know more about the remarkable case. Crowds of peoplé‘».yisited the house during Sunday aftérnoon fo satify their curiosity and beconvinced if possible. During the afternoon Dr. Elliott also’ visited the case and his opinion coineided with Dr. Mandigo’s and a plan of treatment was recommended. g § s

On Monday morning the house ‘was | again visited by the minister and the undertaker. Not mueh if anyichange had taken place in the appearance of the eorpse, but the friends and relatives now insisted on immediate burial. The minister - hesjtated about preaching a sermon. It was then decided to dispense with it, and proceed to bury the corpse withuutaguirf going. to the church. In the meantime a large congregation had assembled in the chureh with the expectation that the funeral might take place, but, this - subsequent arrangement left them tor disappointment. Some expressed themselves as dissatisfied at this turn of affajrs, and various yeports and rumors were soon set afloat. The perfect willingness;, if not anxiety, of the mother for burial was freely commented upon. Stories of poison too were listened to and circulated, also the propriety of a post mortem was generally discussed, in all of which we have aimed togive the leading' facts, leaving surmises and suspicions to time and circumstances. fiie '
