While ilit' jury, in Babeockbs c:im' |
rendered ;i Scotch verdict of in t piuv- |
i'ii, there was probably 1:0 man on it |
, who <vas iint morally convinced nl his J
glllll. Hi' lines out lO the V.olld j
t cchnical ly acquitted, but with a
brand winds even time eaiuioi remove. I
The charge ol Judge Dillon, r. ho is a
strong KobuW1 Iran, wis entirely <m
tlic side nt Babcock. 1' could not In
belter tl scribed ilii'ti iu 11 ?o words of a
telegram from .Mr. Shuts to tin1 1'ivsidrill:
'Long, strong, ami lavorublei
charge from .1 udge."
A conspiracy bke thai of tin1 Whiskey
iiing 'K ?'ni of i!tn uic?l ditiimilt
' clinics in establish without the Usiimo- j
ny of confederates, which is always |
j exposed lo suspicion, no mallei how i
truthful it may bo, Cii euiust ant LI evidence
has necessarily to bo r* lied
upon. Judge Dillon charged that
the proof must be "clear, positive, and
abiding," and i?is* rueled the iui v to
give Babcock thy benefit of ovt rv
reasonable doubt, without requiring
him to remove whitever doubt the
testimony had caused in then* minds.
Under these rullmgs, and with the
confusion artfully created by the defence,
it is peihapsosot surprising thai, I
a-jury of plain tanners, uuacciir.lmncd !
to subtle distinct ions, should have!
been overawed and let into auaequit j
tab A higher tribunal than that jury
has rendered i's verdict also, and Bob- '
cock is pronounced guilty by public i
opinion.
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. They
all seemed to breathe ireer v.lmu 'Im
result was announced. Indeed there"
never was ;i trial in this country liefore
iti which -the whole power and j
machinery ol the Government were 1
hoth openly and secretly employed t<? !
<h leal a prosecution conducted in its'
own name, ami ostensibly in behalf ol j
the public interest, as in the ease !
which has just closed ruinously f??r !
the President's conlidenti.il friends
and illegal secretary.
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
