BABCOCK. A BAD LOOK ¥OR THE GENERAL. Bpecwal Disrateh to The Chicago Tribune. WisENeTOR, D. C., April 8,—The appearance of Gen. Baboock in obedience to & subpeena of the House Committee, which is investigating tho safe-burglary conepiracy, to give his testi- ‘mooy concerning that affair, has been the prin- cpsl event of the dsy. An shtract of the jmportant evidence of H. O. Whitely, Iate Agent of the Secrat Servico of the Treasury Depart- ment, which was given to thia Committee yos- terday, was prioted tbis morning in ome of the Baltimoro papers, snd has boen thetalk of the town during the day. It was stated in this yeport of Whitely’s evidence that Bsbeock had been deeply involved by Whitely inthe safe-burglary conspiracy, and saturally thers wss great curiosity to know what Bab- cock’s explanation of his connecticn with White- Iy, with which Whitely alleged related to the ssfe-burglary conspiracy, would be. Whitely's evidence was given at an hour too Iate yester- day to allow of the issuing of & subpena, and the taking of Babcock's testimony during the dsy. but the first thing done by Judge Knott, the Chairman of the Committes, this morning, was o 168CE A SUBP@SNA tothe President's Iate Secretary. An officer of the House started ont at an estly hour to find Babcock and serve the subpeena, but had difii- calty in gecting at him, &nd the resnlt was that the Committes took the testimony of several other witneases before Babcock had zppenred, which was not mntil after the Committee had been in session several hours. Duriog the morning Judge Enott heard that Babcock had prepared & report to be transmitted through the Associsted Press to the effect that all that ‘Whitely had ssid abount bim yesterday, as re- porlod. was false, and that he had very earnestly requested to be beard by the Committee and been refused & hearing. WHEN GLN. BABCOCK APPEARED ‘beforo the Commitsee, Judge Knott, therefore, asked him if he made such & statement throngh the Associsted Press, snd Babcock soawered that he had several days ago ssid to Represont- wtive Frve, who was temporarily on the Com- mittee, that 1f any evidence refative to him was presented to the Committee, that he would like 40 be called at’ once and testifs, He gaid that when he saw the papers this morning he sat down aod wrote a letter to the Clsir- msn of the Committee of Investigation, Judge Knott, ssking to_ be heard. The Chairman theronpon i asked him if he had not been subpensed early this mornivg, and he eplied that ‘he had received a subpeena, but supposed it was in snswer .to his letter, which lotter, however, Judge Enott has not up to the present hour received. In order to understand _ THE VERY REMARKABLE TESTIMONY which Babeack thereupon gave the Committes regarding the matters in band, it il be neces- sary to restate the testimony of Whutely in brief, 28 given to the Commitice yestorday. Judge Kuott says toat Whitely's etatement, ip- “wlving Wwas a remarkably strong snd complete one, snd that many im- portant points of it were fully ~borne out by documentary evidence which he left in the hands of tne Committes. Whitely said that be was summoned to Fiorida duriog i of 1873-"74 by & telegram from Solicitor Banfield, the ostensibie reason for his return to Washing- ton beiog that the Chicago detective, named Felker, waa trying to get his position. When he srrived hern that matter was oconsidered with Banfleld, and he learned that Babcock bad inter- ceded in hig favor. and that he would not be re- moved. About this time he eaw Babcock ind thanked him for haviog: interceded in his favor. Wbitely then went to New York, and in a few daya received another telegram from Banfield, telling him to come bers on important business at once, aud come to his (Banfield's) honse. He - srrived here on Eunday morning, got_breakfast, and then went Lo Banfield's house. Banfield asked him why he 8id not come 10 his house immediately on bis ar- tiral in the early morning, and said thatit bad n mranged that he was to breakfast with and Harrington at Babcock's housa. Banfield told him that Babeock had <. AN IMPORTANT MATTER be wished to talk over with him. It was nearly Doon when Whitely arrived at_Babcock’s nouss, llll_irl Babeock was not there. Baufield bad given im 8 card relative to the Wisit, snd not finding 10, he next went {o tho President' hm: where Babeock was, and whera the first terview about the conspiracy took place. mee!; testified that Babcock told him that District authorities were being very bitterly foposed by the Committee of tax-payers Disf ion much trouble, snd that i was desizablo to ' PUT UP 50ME SORT OF A JOB Mg_mvmdz would oullify all tneir efforts, 2ad “blow the whole crowd oat of water," to s Babeoek's own worda to Whitely. Dabeock h‘rm tell him any details of the proposed plan, .mnlod him to go and see Harrington, who ol d]‘ul hin what thoy wished to have done. Mt £aid he then went back to the Metropol- again en! self, and that o and Baafield then went to the o, UISIRICT RING CLUB HOUSE. o New York avooue, where they fomud o ogton. Hariogton told him tho details g Whiula Droposed eafe-blowing or burglary.” Fhitely told Harrington he would go back io ew York, and eend them an ablo msn who m“"""‘wflW¥ the thing throngh _for them. He im- e lnezll’ n:::r:fl mew \":;k, where bis office 2sgist Nettleshi 10 Was) lon and t, Nettleship, to go UNDERTAKE THE BUSINES ’fl;vmeock and Harnogson, . bitely testified that he bad nothing mors to Yo the matver nnbil April 93, when the at- tempt bad besn made and resulted in failurs, to iplicate the memorialists, as it was designed iy, April 27, four days after the v Whitely came over to Washington, Xbile here met Babcock and bad conver-. .Nmm the mhc-n‘.;fi.fl tba conspiracy, sxgrasaad 59 hin TR {hat the plan bBad not precesded as it was exected to rrocsed, and told him tuat neither ho nor any of his sabordinates who had been connected with him need foel any solicitude about it ; that NO FAUM WOULD COME T0 THEM on acoonnt of anything they had done. . Whitely also testificd to eeveral subsequent interviews with Babcock, at which thie conspira- cy was discussed. One of the most important of these was on one oceasion in Washington, which resulted from the fact that some of the men who had becn used in the matter had do- manded to Le paid for their sorvicos. Whitely had sent word to Babcock and Garrington of tha demsnds. This interview was at Babeock's hounse. Babcock told Whitely that money nad been procured _TO PAY TAE BURGLARS, and sent bis colored servant to Harrington's house with the request that he would come to meet them. IHarrington came, and the throe held anintarview, which resulted in Harrington giving 500, Babcock gowg into anocther room while the payment was made. Whitely paid the monsy to Somerville, who was the lawyer who present- ed the burglara. Whitoly testified further that in Boston, Sept. 17, 1874, he recoived a letter from Gen. Bab- cock, rolatigg to the matter, in wWhich Dabcock told him not to have any foars about 2ny procesdings against him, and winds up by eaying, ‘You may bide your time and await in confidonce tho result.” This lotter Whitely at onco sen’ed apd kept, and has now placed in tbe hands of the com utee, together ‘with other documentary evidence. ‘Whitely further tostified that he met Dabcock at Loog Braoch in thoe summer of 1875, and that Babeock thers asked him how he would like .TO GO TO EUROPE FOR A FEW TEARS, and suggested to him that be might receive an appointment a8 Agent for the Government for the sale of United States bonds. Whitely then 10ld him that he did not care to go abroad, but thathe had made arrangements to go to Colora- do aod engage in shecp-raising. Babcock ra- plied that this was & good ides, and seemed to ve pleased with the ides that he was going whore he would be ont of the way of investiga- tionn. Whitely bas also given the Committes TWO YERY DIPORTANT LETTERS received by Lim in Colorado recently from A. B. Newcombe, which appear to have been inspired by Babcock, as Nawcombe advised him of tho interest which Babcock feels in him, and, if the climate agrees with bis health, hopes he will re- [ main there, and advises Lim not to leave the country. e Of course, Babcock was ot fally awara of Whitely's testimony when he appeared befors the Commuttee to-day. Ho admmtted that he had requesfed Banfield to order Whitely here from New York, and that Whitoly came to ges him in pursusnce of that telegram. He admitted thiat e saw Whitely on the Sunday morsing when be arrived Liers, and he said that the purpose of this interview was simply shis: That certain newspaper correapondents here had been TRADUCING HIS CEARACTER, and ho wanted a good detective to find out who pad written thosa defamatory articlos. e laid the matter before Whitely, sad Whitaly said ke thought ho could sood bim a good man ta look up the matter, and find out who the authors of theso injnrious newspaper attacks wers, When asked the names of the newspapers ia which the arucles appeared he spoke of ths New York Sun and New York T'ribune, but could not namoe any others. He conld not remomber tbe names of the papers. - Judge Kuott asked him whether he had ever sought the names of these writess from the editors or proprietors of the journalsn which the articles sppeared, and ho said he had not done s0- e Babcock ssid it was arranged with Whitely that the dotective should report his operations to subordinate of bis, because he did not wish 0 be MIXED TP IN THE MATIER suy more thaa he coald beip- The Committee ssked him what danger there was in recsiving tho report of s detective gecretly empioyed by him. He said he did not want to come in personal cootact with the de- tectives., The Committee asked him if the detective far- pished him with the information he was after. He answered * No,” and admitted that the detective never mado any report. He said he asked his subordinate about thomat- ter, and he did not know what the detectives Dad done. Baucock denied to the Committes any knowl- edge of the interview with Whitely on the 29th of April, 1874, at which Whitely reports that be said be was sorry that he (Whitely) was not Bmem to superintend the matter in person. abeock admitted to the Committes the subse~ quent interview, at wnich Harrington was pres- ent at his (Babeock's) honse. He admitted that o sent the negro servsat to bring Hexrington, but he denies that he told Whitely Harrington Lad aoy money for him, or that ke knew of any money being paid. Bsbeock further said that he had neyer be- lieved that Whitely was guiltily concerned in the eafo-burglary conspirsey nnlil Whitely gave his testimony yesterday. The Committes BEGARDED THIS WHOLE TESTIMOKY AS FALSEHOOD from beginning to end. He wns also_asked con- cerning information he had obtained from the President sbout the confeseion of Nettleship, TWhitely's assistant, who helped Harrington carry out the details of the conspiracy. Thisstatement was obsained by District-Attorney Wells on the22d of February, while Babcock was in St. ZLouis, and by him read to the President. Bab- cock at firat denied any conversation with the President abont this matter, bat finally aamitted that the President informed um when he got back from St. Louis that NETTLESHIP HAD MADZ A BTATEMENT. He asked the Presidont if the statement impli- cated him_(Babcock), and thé President said it did not. He also admitted that the President pad read & portion, if not the whole, of the statement by Harrington, in which Harrington stated that sn effort was being made to impli- cate Geu. Babcack, ‘These were tho most material points in Bab- cock's testimony. There is no other testimony to confirm it, whils the Committes has obtained a large amount of testimony supporting the statement made yesterday by Whitely. The burglar’s agent, Bomervillo, has testified that he BECEIVED THE $500 raised by Harrington for them. He algo testi- fied that while ridiog with Harrington to the house of Judge Olin to obtain the bail for Miles, alias Benton, Harrington asked him bow much they -ought to psy Benton for lying in jail, and he roplied £2,000. Harrington raised this money, it is suppoaod, from the club-house crowd, au gent it to him for the purpose. r:l:lls Commirttee hes also taken the testimony of THE DETECTIVE CONZ, . who has furnished them' with the pages of Whitely’s_letter-book in the New York office, from April 1 to july 18, 1874, which were found to have been sbstracted when Solicitor Wilson recently examined the oftice. The Chairmap_of the Committes believes that Whitely and Nettleship bave both told the trath, sa {ar as Babeock is concerned. 'All the most importsnt evidence has now been obtained, and it is expected that both Harring- ton and Babcock will be indicted at an early day. The evidence will be Iaid before the Grand Jury, Monday. Harrington will not make a confeesion but will take the consequences, whatever they be. Ex-Attorney-General Willisms was at the Committee-room bus did not testify. He willdo 80 Monday. 3 [To the Associated Press.) BABCOCK'S TESTIMONT. ‘WasmsaToy, D. C., April 8.—Ibo testimony iven yosterday by Col. Whitely before tho ouse Committée on the Judicisry seeming to implicate Gen. Babcock in the safe burglary conspiracy, the Jatter had an opportuoity this afternoon to be heard. He stated that in the spring of 1874 Solicitor Banfield called upon bim at the request_of Col. Whitely (who was at that ime absent {rom the city) asking him to interest himsolf to prevent ni8 removal from ofice 28 Chief of the Tremsury Secret Service Divieion. Whisely had heard of eflorts to displace him. Gen. Babcock saw the Presi- dont and Secretary of the Treasury on the sub- ject. and finding that there was no desire on their part to remove Whitely, Gen. Babeock re- ({nested Solicitor Bsufield to telegraph to Col. \hitely 10 COME AND SEE HDI, SolicitorB snfield aid 50, snd Whitley, retarniog to the city, called_on Gen. Babeock, who told him whut he had done ip his behalf, snd the re- sult. Whitely expressed his _gratitude for the favor rendered, and said tnat if he conld ever be of any servico to Gen,-Babcock he mnst let him know. A8 personal sai- tacks had been made upon him - (Babeock) some time after tnese occnrrences, charging him with frand in the messurement of certain improve- ments made by the Board of Public Works to be Ppaid for by tho Goveromeut, be recalled tho cou- versation he had had with Whitley, and con- Slnded to employ him to find out all his assail- anus, Whitely coming to Gen. Babcock’s room at the Executive Mansion to receive iostructions upon that subject. ' Goo. Babcock requested Whitely to report to Mlr, Gideon, now deceased, but Mr. Gideon pever informed Gen. Babcock that report had ever been made to him by Col. Whitely. » Gen.

Babeock said l:la o RHNEW NOTITING ADOUT TRE SAFT BURGLARY. It he had known it was meditated, be should have taken measures t) pravont it. " The Committes produced a lekter from Bab- cock to Whitely, withoat date, and written in pencil, in which Babcozk said Whitely's letter had been received. He hadatiended tothe mat- ter at onco,and, boforo t'uts letter reached Whito- Iy, he and bis men’'wonld be paid, as * they " 8aid they would scod at _once to pay them, and Gen. Babcock concluded his lettsr by saying something like the following : ** Yon can wait with confidenco that in the ond your serrices will be fally apprecinted.” This i3 reported to be the substancs of the original letter, which Gen. Babcock expiained by saying that Whitely wrote to bim that he ead his men liad been turned out of office and badly treated, and bad not received their arrearages of pay, and asking Gen. Bnbcock to interost himself in this respect-in their behalf. Gen. Babeock went to tuo Treisury and saw Solicitor Bantfield, who said that whaiever money was dus to these men-should b3 paid. The money was due from the Government. Gen, Babcock baving boen asked -what he meant by usiog the word ** they ” in his letter to Whitely, replied, Notbing mora than the Trea- sury officers, under whose diraction_the money would be Knii He further said ho did not know whether these men havo yet been paid, and that there never wag a dollar of money transaction ‘between him and Col.

The two former substantiato the statementa of Whitely, 8o far 88 they kaew of the details of tle safe burglarly transaction. Nettleship said that he was aesured by Whitely that * the thing would be all right,” and he 1n- ferred that somo ono very high up in official po- silion was back of it. 2 Sommerville was interrogsted concerning an affidavit he procured from one of the burglars named Benton, while in jail bere, implicating Columbus Alexander with ‘the transaction, He snid that Harrington first suggosted to him to geot Benton to make such an affidawt, and thab he would see that nothing came of it, for ho would pigeon-hols it. .

C., April 8.—Secretary Chaod- ler was examined for three hours to-dey, by the Civil Service Commitiee, in tho matter of the discharge of o clork named Williamson from the Toterior department. Willismeon has been ‘promuently connected with the prosecution of the charge of the slleged frands in Indian Pen- sions, in which the noted Jadge Wright had been 80 conspicuous. Last summer, between Har- per's Ferry and the city, Williamson lost the eight of so eye by a shot from anair-gun fired within the cars. His friends ‘have always claimod thas this shot was fired by gome person who sought to avenge themselves for his activlty in prosecnting Judge Wright. These same friends have consequently charged that Secretary Chandler secured Willismson's removal because of & desire to shield Judge Wright. 3 Chandler testified to-day that he knew very little of the details of the alleged Indian Pension Frauds and of Judze Wright, aod that William- £on was discharged solely oa account of his per- sonal habita. The Committes on Expenditares on the De- partment of the Interior to-duy examined at great length Mr. Stevens, in conaection with the CHABOE AGAINST JOUN DELANO, son of Columbus Delano, ex-Secratary of In- ternal Revenuo. It will be remembered that one of the copsps which promptod the retire- ment of Secrotary Delano was the connection | of his son Jobn with survoying and ‘other con- tracts. It was strenuonsly icmsted by both the Delanos at tho time that oo such contracts ox- jsted, but the fact ‘Was spparcotly estublished. ‘Che testimouy of Stevens to-aay fully conirmed all that was published in tho matter, and shows beyond donbt that such contracts existed. 10 the Azsocrated Press.)

He dis- missed Willismson upon information that he was not & proper person to be employed. = As- sistant-Attorney-General Gaylord teetified that, in looking over certain Cherokee cases, he found the name of Williamson mixed up with very questionable transactions in connection with Gen. Blunt. Mr. Chaodler said_that Ross was auggested by the Presbyterinn Board, and the witness spoke to the President, who thonght that Ross would make & zood maa for the place.

The dust of Kings and Queens, and thoss of cldar blaad wha had made and upmsadé Boyalty, were near beron oversy side, in a grand and solemn realin of dark- ness and dust, of géneral rot and wearing away by neglect and timo.

The custom of kissing the bride at & wedding i8 of great antiguity, and is otill insisted on by many people with groat vigor. A very amusing story is told by an exchange of a Kentucky back- woodsman who had, afier & long and ardent courtship of the belle of one of the Kentucky cities, won ber for a brido. She had for-a. long time wavered in her choice, uniecidod whether to take him or a genmtleman of \wealih and pogition in the city, but finally ohose the bumbler lot in obedicoce to her bosrt. The wedding waa colebrated in great style, aad the manly groom was almost as much admired for his colossaliproportions aud athletic symmetry aswas the bride for hor execeding love- livess. Among tho guests was the unsuccessfal suitor, who was well aware of the jealonsy with which tho groom bad regarded nim, but who had overcomo Lis chargin -at bis failure, and was eincerely aoxions to congratalnte the bride. Ona by one tho guests offered their good wishes and their hearty kisses, while the groom looked on with approval sud delight. At length, among tho rest, cama Lthe rejected lover. Tho voung groom watched ‘him keeols, but witbout the least snimosity in his expression. The unfortunate rival felt’ the dolicacy of his position, and not caring to provoke the hus- band's ire, he did not proffer the salute which was customary. As he was giving plece to oth- ers, after wishing the newly-married pair wall, tho groom grasped his arm with bis iron fingers, andin alow tone eaid: *‘She's my wife, and 1 propose to gea that sle is treated as woll as my wife should bo treated. If you don’t kiss her, Tl breok every bone in your body.” Rather than quarrel, the gentleman kissed the not un- willing bride, and the groom was satisfied. BEAUTIFUL FEET. P Some years ago (eays the New York Suny it was quite fashionable for Iadies o have their {feet and legs melded, au rather 8 moderate ex- pense, in London. Tnero was a little shop in Soho Square where they 8old casis of beautifal foet of celebrated lodies of high position and rank, and of irreproachable character. One dav the wife of a Mayor of & town in the prov~ inces bad two casts’ takien of her foot snd log, one pude and one dressed. _Strango to say, the leg with the stocking and garter on had more admirers than the other. American women are noted for their beautiful feet. A latter to the New York Graphic says: I noticed that at Washington there is guite an excitement about small foet of some of the fair sex. Now, Iknow the wife of one of our lead- ing lawyers who has & foot to rival them, who wears & No. 1 boot and 18 slipper. It is nerfect io shave, pronounced 8o iu Europe and Americs, and the Iady in question weighs 140 pounds. When it was 8o fashionable a few vears ago to model beautiful feet, this lady's foot was modeled in London, and artista thero 3aid that oniy American women could boast of sucls beauti- ful feet. - THE LATEST FASHION. Lucy Hooper writes from Paris: Were I not a peculiarly moral person, I should say for wy own part, * Drat the fashiops!” For Lam not a Venus, snd the incoming modes will. un- less Iam much mistaken, be pitiless to those who sre anything else. The old Princesse of Gebrielle cat for dresses is to be revived, —nay, is revived, and threatens to becomo the roge. Now, in -old days, with hoops end foll skirts, . these gored, all-in-one dresses Were not g0 bad; but now, what with tied-back skirts and glove- fitting dresses, women who are eithertoo thin or toostout bavea hara time of it. Of course, such a figure a3 that of Croizette looke simply divine in such attire; but bhow many women have & figure lke that of Croizette, I shouid like to kuow ? Not one form in & hundred can stand the total absenca of drapery. And 80, fat and forty or thin ana thirty, must be tmrned into guvs, in order that the sweet and shapely may have a chance to stun the world with a rev- elation of loveliness,; ELOPEMENT OF TWO INFANTS.

Wegive it up.'|: SURE SIGN OF CONVALESCENCE. Tt is generslly accepted 28 3 good agn (8ays the Detroit Free Press) when a sick person ia cross and peevish—a sign that he is on the gain. A Fifth street man was taken down with Inng fever some weeksa since, and his wife bas watched over him and saw him o near death 5o often that she was about discouraged.

It was only a minute ago that he throw a fork at me. and called me the biggest liar and meanest womaa in Detroit! ” A NICE GIRL FOR A PARTY.

It she receives another invita- tion to a party, she eays she will have the blue dye taken out and havs it whits again.” A MISSOURI HEBE. Falton (Mo.)

Tho only time thst tne Secretary of the Treagury ever met Mr. Johnson was when he was introduced to bim by Mstt Carpenter.

It is true, that I was repeatediy asked by reporters, inchid- ing 3 reporter from the Times, for 3 statement of the Mary Merritt case, but it is likewise true, that I re- fused to furmeh such 3 statement %o him or to any other reparter.

Weiss—As [sr 06 my connection is concerned, T have no objection to way that, in the Mary Merritt case, I was the seizing otficer, and as such entitled to amolety of the procceds; that the vessel was prose- cuted in the name of the United States; that I was 0o party to tho guit, and that it s preposterous to 87k of my withdrawal from the case. ‘Reporter—n this_connection, 1 will read to you a passage from the Times: *'The Qufenso of Bristow doesn't oy » single word about tha paying of maiely to Mr. G, .
