The Fitz John Porter and Nc
DoWell Trials.
PROMOTION OF ILLINOIS OFFICERS,
Protest Of The State Delega-
tion In Congress.
Especial Dispatch to the Chicago TtIbu,

8th Ills; Col. Islam N. Haynie, 48th Ills.
The Pope and Porter difficulty, now being
investigated by co1rt-martlal, seems likely to
prove sort OF Kilkenny cat atIair. Each
General will succeed in somewhat damaging
the reputation Of tha other.
Pope was cros=-exa1ained to-day at great
leEgth,s with results which Porter's counsel
seemed to think favorable. The strongest
POINT they made against Pope was bis having
told Porter several days after the alleged dis
obedience Of Orders, that he did not think him
in fault.
Mr.. Chase's report excites uuusual atten-
tion. Its ability is conceded on all hands.
though Influential members are not wantinr
who disssni from some OF its recommendations.
It is intims.ed thst Tbad. Stevens will prob
ally favor the further Issue of legal tender
Treasury Notes which Chase opooses.
In the Mcdowell Court of inquiry to-day.
Mcdowell offered tie testimony Of Col, Rug.
g;es to prove that Col. Goodwin, who had
sWorn to having seen lreDoweu drunk was 3
man utterly unt1uatworthy, aud devoid of
personal character. He had been encaeed in
ATTEMPTED frauds on the Government. etc..
but the Court ruled this testimony out, and
Mcdowell t1en submitted written protest
against being thus refused permission tn
prove said Goodwin to have been an 5pmate
Of the penitentiarV, and stherwise of ench
character a:.so bad to entit1e his +est;monv Ia
no credit whatever,
Gen. Heintzleman testified, to his personal
knowledge, that Mcdowell had been for years
d total abstenance man.
