From I Ik* manner in which the St. ! Louis verdict was received in Wash- i ingion, it might he supposed the Piesi- j dent, the Administration, ami the Republican party were on trial.

The President publicly threw him* | sell into the breach, proclaimed the innocence ol Uubcock when the trial was going on, accepted his laise inter pretat'on ol the criminalirig telegr ims, and in a deposition which will yet i return to plague the inventor, did not scruple to make hiatcuieuts which are flatly contradicted hv the official re ! cords. Word went out Iroui the White House, th it Huhcock must be j saved at any cost, because to convict hi."n would lie to condemn the Admin. 1 istrntion and to destroy the party. I j Mr. I'ierrepoat's letter to the His- \ tricl Attorney, to reject State's i evidence, was dictated by the l'?esi- ( dent in order to exclude the testimony ! ol Mclvec and Maximo, against Hah- ' cock, and to slop in ventilations and I indictments thai would strike down 1 . some ot the foremost Republican 1 < leaders in the Northwest. Every in- < line nee, political, social, and proles- j sional, was exerted in the s a me i I direction. Emissaries were sent tin- | dvr otlicial pretexts to spy out the 1 1 secrets o! the prosecution, to suborn * witnesses, and to aid the defence, ' Testimony was frabicated at Washing- | * Ion, but not used at St. Louis, because f it would have contradicted MoGill, t who sought to overcome Everest's ? leslimony. in tegard t*> the $600 bill < which Joyce sent to Euuouck. iioss n ? 1 -?
