Sr. Louis, Feb. 26, 1876. It being @ well known fact that D. W. D, Barnard, Bank Comutissioner of this city aud cousin of Prosi- | TRIAL. | against Babcock, a good desi ot curiosity has been ex- pressed to find out why he was not used on the trial. District Attorney Dyer was interviewed on the subject to-day. He said it was true that Barnard was a wit "| ness for the government beiore the Grand Jury, and that the indictment was partly based on his evidence, but declined to state why he was not put on the stand. Dyer said that Barnard had suddenly changed bis mind on the subject and that it was a matter which could not be properly discussed vow. Among those who seut their congratulations to Gen- eral Babcock yesterday was General McDonald, who oc- cupies a collin the county jail." McDonald says if his trial had been as fair as Babcock’s, and had the judge's imstruction been so liberal, he would ne have been convicied. A good deal of talk is being made about the | corruption of the Babcock jury and the air is full of ru- mors on that subject, Some important developments are promised about this jury, and also the juries in the preceding whiskoy ais. The Evening Dispaich of to-day su n this connection it may not be improper io say that some startling revelations are about to be made in rela- tion to some of the jurors who have seryed in the whiskey trials, It 1s asserted that on one of the juries Was a nian who occupied a position under the govert« ment and who actually subpoenaed the members of the jury upon which he sat. Other equally strange things are talked of, which may come up shortly.”” A VISIT TO DONALD, Quite a sonsation was created here to-day by the statement that on the night of the day General Babcock was acquitted he made a secret trip in a closed curriage to the County Jail and had a eon- ference with General McDonald. Judge Krum of his counsel was interviewed on the subject to-night and admitted that Babcock did visit McDonald, He Bai “We dlid go to the jail to McDonald, but so far from there being any secrecy about it, ag might be inferred from thi tement made, we went in a hack from the hotel x o'clock in the evening, and with no attempt at concealment whatever, I had told Gen- eral Babcock tbat McDonald was suffering in health, and General Baboock expressed a desire to see bim.

New Origays, Feb. 26, 1876. On Monday the lower house of the Legislature wil, take up the general resolution suspending Kellogg trom ‘The articles of impeachment are not fully drawn up, and, so far, are ten in number. There is no excitement, except, in republican circies, notwithstanding that Kellogg has issued his proclamation calling the Senate in extra sessiou to continue ten days after the present regular session. A petition, headed by John Phelps, E, B. Wheelock, Cyrus Bussey and others, claiming that incalculable damage will result should Kellogg be impeached, is being circulated. With such leaders the petition will receive numerous the merchants. A counter petition is also in circulation, ‘tof the House. at is suggested by the sit! ‘The only hypothesis tl pear at the bar of the Senate until the last hour of the regular session, and that Kellogg’s proclamation will be disregarded as violative of articles 64nd 15 of the constitution of the State. The following is the report of the Special Committee appointed yesterday by the Speaker of the House to investigate the uct of Governor Kellogg :— THE RESOLUTION OF IMPEACHMENT. To THe HON.

Several motions Bad been made to suspend the ruies by a two-thirds vote, to take up the report, but had been defeated on a call of yeas and nays, considerably more than one- third of the members present being opposed to the taking up of the report. It is asserted that the Speaker then murmured somotning im an tnaudibie granted to take up the report. A number of repub- lean members at once rose to object, but the 5; er ruled that their objection came too late, ,The minority of the committee offered a report, setting forth that no investigation whatever had been entered upon by the committee; that they had demanded that the Governor should be heard anJ had been re- fused, and that the whole proceeding, in their judg- ment, wasa revolutionary attempt to subvert the gov- ernment. Filibustering here was commenced by the republicans, and by agreement the whole subject was postponed until ten o’clock on Monday next, to wuich time the House adjourned. ‘The conservatives confidently assert that the House will adopt the report on Monday.

Governor Hendricks delivered the opening address to | the Southern States Exposition at the fair grounds to- | day. The only political reference was contained in the | following paragraph :— - Gambling speculations may indeed be prosperous | when the foundations of society are all unsettled, but not so with the honest pursuits and productive arts of life. The agriculturalist and the mechanic cannot pros- | per under bad jaws or under laws which are dishonesty, | unrighteously or partially administered.

GENERAL BABOCOCK’S RELATIONS WITH PRBSI- DENT GRANT—RUMORBED ACCEPTANCE OF HIS RESIGNATION. The relations of President Grant and Genera! Bab- cock will not be defined until after the return of the latter to Washington, which is expected to-morrow. The President keeps his own counsel so closely that | mach of what is said upon this subject is simple con- Jecture, There is good reason for believing, however, that General Babcock, to relieve the President of any embarrassment consequent upon the trial at St. Louis, and irrespective of whatever might be the verdict of the jury, placed his resignation in the President’s hands some time ago, Whether that resignation has been accepted or not is not officially or publicly known, but several persons who are credited with intimacy with the President say that ithas been, - If such is the fact the President has acted more likely under a pressure brought to bear upon him fn the Cabinet yesterd@ than from his own choice, notwithstanding the fact that he usually has his own way In most matters, The President would not be consistent in condemning General Babcock tor his misfortune in occasioning 80 mach scandal in the vicinity of the White House, The associates of Gen- eral Babcock, the parties through whom the scandal came, and foticeably McDonald, were introduced to Generat Babcock as original friends and acquaintances ofthe President, If the President has sacrificed Gen- eral Baboock it has been most likely tn obedience to the behests of his Cabinet, RUMOR, IN WASHINGTON OF GOVERNOR KEL- LOGG'S IMPEACHMENT. 4 rumor, the origin of which could not be traced, circulated here to-night that Governor Kellogg, of Lou. ‘siana, has been impeached. Senator Morton, upon hearing this as he walked about the halls of his hotel his evening, became seriously interested and anxious about tho report, manifesting considerable emotion. He at once despatched a messenger to the telegraph office in order to ascertain the trath of the statement, ‘The best men among the Louisiana delegation in Con- gress are opposed to any extreme measures at this time, and feel that the general good of the democratic party is to be subserved rather than any special or local political views in their own State. They are exceed- ingly sensitive on the point of conducting affairs there with a seund discretion and forbearance which has characterized matters favorably thus far. They Pronounce as crazy the men who would precipitate any sudden event there or create a shock in the out- side political world. They await news from Louisi- ana with the appearances of almost fear and trem- bling, because they {eel that there are some there and here among their’ friends whose discretion they cannot trust. It seems to be a difficult thing for the more judicious men to keep their. rasher and more impulsive brethren in check. It is thought whatis to culminate in New Orieans will find its place in the history of the coming week. POSSIBLE CHANGE OF THE PLACE OF HOLDING THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, It is said that the Republican National Convention may meet at some other plice than Cincinnati, and at a later date than the 14th of June, The growing coms Plaints ofextortionate Lotel charges at Cincinnati are said to be encouraged in order that a pretext may be found for another meeting of the National Committee, and the postponement of the aate of the Convention to alater day than that of the Democratic Convention, ‘Phe deferment of the time for the Convention is said to be more an object ‘than changing the place, which, if not Cincinnati, would be some city in Ohio, or possibiy Each party wants the other to show its hand.

GENERAL BABCOCK’S DUTIES AT THE WHITE HOUSE—NOT THE PRESIDENT'S PRIVATE S8KC- RETARY. A communication of the Secretary of War sent to the House yesterday, giving alist of military officers en- gaged in civil service since 1865, mentions the name of General Babcock, among the others, as having been de- tailed by the President for the performance of duty as the Executive Mansion, but notto the neglect of his office as Commissioner of Public Buildings and Super- intendent of the Washington Aqueduct. Levi P. Luckey is the President’s private secretary, appointed as Such under legal authority, and not General Babcock, as erroneously represented. Both are now on their way from St Louis and are expected to resume their duties at the Executive Mansion on Monday, INVESTIGATION OF THE ALASKA FUR TRADE— TESTIMONY OF GENERAL MILLER BEFORE THE SUB-COMMITTEE—THE COMPANY'S OBLI- GATIONS STRICTLY FULFILLED. The examination of General Miller, President of the Alaska Commercial Company, by the sub-committee of the Committee of Ways and Means was concluded to- day. The questions asked by the Chairman, Mr. Fernando Wodd, of New York, were particularly directed toward the manner in which the lease of the Seal Islands had been awarded, The point of the investigation turns upon this special inquiry, inasmuch as there appears to be no direct evi- dence to show that the obligations under the lease have General Miller claimed that the company had not interest of the government and the natives than is strictly required by the contract, He called the atten- tion of the committee to the fact that the Secretary ot the Treasury had power to annul the lease of the com- pany if it failed to comply with its conditions, and said, of the company todeal with the government honestly. If any one knows that @y wroug has been done why does he not inform the Secretary instead of circulating Nbellows and anonymous communications; that the pamphiet which was sent to the government in Gen- eral Howard’s report was only a compilation of edito- rials from a paper which had always been hostile to the company, and every line of it contained a false- hood; it was issued ina secret manner and signed by somé@ person who purports to be a secretary of an as- sociation which could not be found to be existence; that General Howard did not | visit the Seal Islands, but picked up this pamphlet a year after it had been in circulation, and forwarded it to Washington, without vouching for sts correctness, The attacks upon the company proceed | from parties who were dissppointed bidders and who | | claim that their bid should bave been accepted. He the bid of these parties, and that the govern- ment received $63,000 more per annum than was | required by the act of Congress, and that the in- come of the government from this source is about $925,000 per annum. It costs the company $6 to put a sealskin on the London market, while they would only Ii for $5 when the lease was taken, The eomphiny has raised the value of the skins by close attention to General Miller, baving answered fully and satisfactorily to all the questions put by the committee, will return to San Francisco to-morrow evening.

THE DOMINION OF CANADA. THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE FINANCE MINISTER—A REVIEW OF THE COMMERCIAL | GROWTH OF THE COUNTRY. Ortawa, Feb, 26, 1876. Hon. Mr. Cartwright, in his financial statement, }. pointed out the peculiar and exceptional circum- stances under which the present crisis had approached and the impossibility of foreseeing the form it, might assume oF the intensity of its effect. He expressed the belief that it was not unattended with mitigating circumstances and that the state of the country was actually less dangerous than it was under the influence of inflation three years ago. Ion the year ending June 30, 1875, the receipts were $24,648,715 and tl Xpenditures $23,713,071, leaving a surplus of $935,644 The current year, therefore, would be the tirat to show a deficit But in 1874 the imports entered for consumption, our chief source of revenue, were $127,404,169, and in 1875 they were only $119,673,657, showing a decrease of $' 512, The exports in 1874 amounted to $89,351,928, and in 1875 to only $77,886,979, or a decrease of $11,464,049, Mr. Cartwright entered into « careful analysis of the items in the account of receipts and expenditures, which tended on the whole to show that the balances of 1875 were even more favorable thun at first sight would appear. But while exceedingly interest. ing in vhemselves his observations need not ‘be recapitulated at the present moment. Coming to ‘1875-76 it was shown by the returns brought down that the revenue up to February 10 shows a falling off as against the revenue of 1874-75 for the same period of about $2,000,000, the figures being for 1874-75, $14,856,121, aud for 1875-76, $u 820,785, In the first six months of the present financial year the imports were only $51,928,186, a5 against the importa- tons of the value of §69, 978 in the corresponding period of 1874-75, or a ling off of po less than $18,000,000; but im the corresponding periods the exports of the Dominion were respectively $50,624,845 in 1875-76, and $53,740,739 ‘in 1874-75. ‘Tho decrease was whoily confined to the article of sawn lumber. The reduction in imports is not, hor , the result altogether of a di iuiithea volume; the age in values has played a most important part in effecting this result, amounting, aa inquiries have shown, to 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, or even in some cases to 86 percent. A very large proportion of the reduction, too, bas fallen op the paying an ad va- lorem duty of seventeen and one-half per cent. Al- though the shrinkage in values is bad for the revenue it has, of course, been favorable to tho country as a whole, The people have bought what they needed more cheaply, and, if afew hi juifered, the many ined. The inflation nada is now suflering under has arisen, to some extent, from causes beyond our own control.’ Our proximity to the United States always exposes us to the operation of circumstances for Which they, and not we, may be primarily respon- sible, But itis impossible not to see from our own trade returns that there has been a large importa. tion for some yeurs past. in 1871 the importations were $87,000,000; in 1872 they were $107,000,000;"in 1873 they were $127.000,000. .Bamks cannot be said to have been guiltless iu the matter. Tho bank discount Stood in July, 1370, at from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000. In 1871 they’ had gone up to, $79,000,000; In 1873, to $102,000;000; in 1573, to $116,900, 000" ‘and in 1874, to $10,000,000.’ Over-importing being sustained and ‘en- couragt by banking facilities, the home manuiactures have been injured by the ac- cumulated stocks in the hands of the mer- chants People, often without experience, have rushed into speculation in lumbering and other hazardous enterprises. While the estimates for 1876-77 are $22,882,319, showing a gross reduction, a8 against tho estimates for 1875-76, of $3,247,030, against which there are some items of increase, amounting to $776,000, leaving a net saving of $2,470,768, the Sources Of revenue for the ensuing year are, without any change in the rates of taxation, calculated as fol- lows:—Customs, $13,500,000; excise, $5,500,000; Post Office, $1,000,000; public works, $1,175,000; miscel- lanoods, $1,020,000, and stamps about $125,000, making altogether $23,260,000, or about $500,000 over and bove the estimated expenditure, Regarding the present state of affairs as exceptional, he Finance Minister proposes to meet the detnanas of the year with the resources already at command, sen- 6 on the one hand of the partial inconvenience to the Canadian manufacturers by the flooding of their markets with American gooda, Mr. Cartwright on the other hand declines to tax ninetoen-twentieths of the people for the benefit of one-twentieth depen- dent on manufactures (not exceeding that proportion). He comes. ultimately, to the conclusion that, even if it could be shown that a protective system would result favorably to Canada, 0 time for avy experi- tal legislation. ven mast have, and to put on high duties would destroy revenue, PIGEON: SHOOTING. zart, was played by William Mason, with excecding deli- cacy, grace and expressio!

New Orimans, La, Feb, 26, 1876, The pigeon shooting tournament inaugurated here to-day under the auspices of the Crescent City Riflé Club promises to be very successful There are many strangers in town; the crowd at the Fair Grounds was not so largo as anticipated, yet there was much interest evinced in the contests so far as they progressed. The shooting opened with the tournament purse of $1,000, en! $20, fifty to fill or pro rata; 10 birds each, 21 yards ri class prizes; to the first, $300 to the second and $200 to the third. H. N. Sherman and J. H. Acktin killed all “their birds, and in shooting off tho tie they retired first to 26 yards, when each cutting down their three pigeons they went back to 31 yards. At this distance sher- man cleverly stopped three additional birds, and Ack- lin killing but two, the former was declared the winner of the $600. &. T, Manning secured the second prizo and Charles Spear third money. The second event was for ied of $500, entrance $10, $50 to Mill or pro rata; 10 birds cach, class prizes; $250 to the first, $150 to the second and $100 to the third. This was commenced, but Governor Hendricks wishing to deliver his address at the time, by request the shooting was discontinued, leaving it undecided, Besides the unfinished event there are on the pro- gramme for to-morrow two events, the purses being Tespectively $1,000 and $500, each divided into threo parts, WRESTLING MATCH. ~~ Bosrox, Feb. 26, 1876, Soguin’s benefit takes place on Tuesday evening, “Bohemian Girl’? being selected as the opera. When Mr. John T. Raymond started out from New York in the faltwith Colonel Sellers he had engage- ments covering fifty-two weeks, He has already becn as far South as New Orleans, and at every place along the route he met with the best success, In Chicago he did the biggest business of the season. On Tuesday evening, at the Union League Theatro, a performance will be given in aid of the widows and orphans of the firemen who were killed in the late Broadway fire, A number of popular and experiencea amateurs will appear in ‘Harvest Home,” ‘Ici on Parle Frangais”’ and “Box and Cox.’? “Der Freischuta”’ was givon last night at the Teatro Wehrle, Belvidere House, by a seloct company of mari- onettes, with somo well known Artists behind the were wonderfully correct, and would have put the Academy—especially in the Wolt Gien scone—to tho biash, Theatre nightly. This sterling comedy, ot which any one act issorich im situation and suggestion that a modern author might develop it into a four act play, has an exceptionally strong cast in the litle parts well as the great ones, It will be performed every evening this week, “Madame Caverlet,” a new play by M. Emile Auger, recently produced at the Vaudeville, Paris, is said to thoven Hall to-night be. tween Bauer and Professor Heygster was won by the former in three straight fulls. Several thousand dol- lars changed hands and hundreds of people were turned away unable to gain admission. The contestants rep- resented France and Germany, and the match created great interest.

Mr. Rowe has made a double success as author and actor, and Waifton Stray’s ring, whether it be of brass or not, is like that magical talisman in the ‘Arabian Nights” tales, by which, whenever the owner turned it, he had the power to transport a whole house, The one hundredth performance of ‘Rose Michel’’ will take place at the Uniun Square Theatre to-morrow night, The play is worthy of this success, for it is superbly put on the stage, capitally acted, and the only serious objection to be made to it is that some of the situations are too painful in their interest. Every Indy who attends the theatre on Monaay evening will receive a volume, bound in satin, containing illustrated sketches of the principal dramas which Messrs. Shook and Palmer have produced. ‘That there should be now three plays running at three of our theatres, each of which has reached, or will soon reach, its one hundredth performance, is striking evidence of the enormous patronage the drama receives in New York. In no other city in the United States are prolonged runs possible, and only a few years ago they were impossible here. In addition to “Rose Michel,” “Piquo” and “Julius Casar,” wo must recall the remarkable successes of ‘The Big Bonanza’’ and the ‘Mighty Dollar” at the Park, It is to be inferred trom this that if the drama has really declined, its popularity has increased, “which was some time a paradox, bust now the time gives it proof.”* A CONFIDENCE MAN.

He called again the next day and made purchases to the amount of $162 on the same terms, Schiamoritz — discovered that he had been swindled by some one who personated Duval.
