Fitz.John Porter appeals to Prest-
dent johnson for reconsideration OF
the proceedings of the court-martial
which sentenced him to be "cashiered
and forever rendered incapable of hold
! lug office under the Government of the
United States" This sentence WAS
passed in January, 1868. and was APP
proved by President Lincoln. Mr..
Porter claims that the trial took place
in time OF unusual excitement; that
evidence then inaccessible can now be
produced, and that he considers 1t his
duty to appeal for revision of his
case, and therefore requests the ap-
poiutment OF new court martial.
This appeal is backed by Senators
Wilson, Sherman, Harris and Foster,
General Banks, Ex-Governor Curtin
and Horace Greeley.
Four years and half having elapsed
since the dismissal of Porter from the
army, the charges and specifications
upon which he was cashiered may have
been forgotten by many persons. We
therefore append summary OF the
proceedings:
The court martial for the trial OF Gen
eral Fitz John Porter met i'll Washing
ton November l, 1862. II consisted of
Generals Hunter, Hitchcock, Rufus
King, Prentiss, Ricketts,, Casey, Gar
field, Buford and Morris, with Joseph
Holt AS Judge Advocate General. The
charges were made by Brigadi, r Gen
eral B. l.. Roberts, formerly Inspector
General of POpe's army in Virginia.
The specifications were TO the effect that
on the 2sth OF August, 1862, Porter dis
obeyed positive and urgent order of
General Pope to bring his corps up to
the help OF Hooker and Mcdowell at
the-second battle OF Bull Run; that on
the 29th OF August he again dlsobeyed
the order of General Pope; that on the
same day he failed to attack the enemy,
though positively ordered to do so; that
on The evening of August % he again
disobeyed an order TO march his COM
mand to the field of battle and report
in person TO General Pope for orders,
but permitted one OF his brigades to
march to Centreville and remain there
during the severe battle OF August 30;
that he retreated from the enemy with
out any attempt to engage them or TO
aid our troops who were relying upon
the flank attack he was ordered TO
Nuke.
Porter was convicted on the evidence
of Generals Pope, mcdowell ana
Roberts, Lieutenant-C Colonel Thomas
Smith, Captain Drake DeKay and
| others The unanimous testimony of
these officers was to the effect that
Porter could have brought his troops
1 into action, but did not; and that If he
| had done his duty the rebel army must
have been beaten, and part of it de-
stroyed
The finding of the court was, that
Porter was guilty on every one of the
charges preferred," aud the sentence,
which was approved by President
Lincoln on the 2lst of January, 1868,
casniered him from the service.

The New York Posts Washington
letter says: An officer of Gen. Grants
staff relates a conversation he had
with the General few days ago,
wherein the General remarked CON
cerning the talk OF making him Presi-
dent, that he would not be President of
the United States if opportunity were
offered; that he was no politician; that
he hated politics; that 50 lar AS reputa-
ton and honor was concerned, he
thought he ought to be satisfied with
what OF these he already enjoyed; that
holding the Office of President would
mar his present comfort and drag him
into the storms and excitement of poll
tics; that as the General of the army,
he had all the work he could do and
time enough to Ell joy the comforts of
his family and his home; and that he,
as soldier. had gained friends enough
in the country and did not wish place
where he should gain no more, but
probably lose those whom he had
gained.

The fact Ia, there is fierce political

thing more serious than mere wordy

in spite Of the voice of modern sciences" but
that this is not to be wondered at, for " the
skull Of this fanatic is too thick" and "logic,
silence and experience do not exist for him."
This is why he confounds the innocent and use

res Of the rumshop." This is good, and the

Another Batch Of Whishcy Seizures.

Saturday was lively day among the Bour-
bons of this city and Brooklyn. Collector
Bailey of the Fourth Revenue district in pur
bon Company, reported some important dis
covcrics. II hid been found that the contra
band whiskcy which dcluges this island came
from the three fountain heads of Buffalo, Louis
vile and Dubuque and II is alleged that .
large number Of heavy operators here have
been connected with enormous swindles from
these outside supplies. Among the establish
ments seized are that OF s. G. Boehm 4 Co.,
Cedar street one in Tenth avenue, near Thir-
ty-eighth street one In avenue A, near Thir-
ty-sxth street Cuthbert & Cunningham's, John
street, Brooklyn Joseph Jones & Co.'s, White

Board also made q number OF seizures, in
Guiding the rcctifying establishment Of A. Il.
Reyes in Brooklyn, and large quantity OF
whskey in the store Of Farrar & Lyon, South

Commissioner Rollins, with some assistants
from Washington, is here, and the work OF fer
reting out Illicit distilleres, depots, consign-
mcnts, brandings, &C., is 10 be vigorously
prosecuted. The legitimate distllers and
Dealers too, are actively cooperating for their
own protection; for they find il a losing bust

gallon on their whiskey and then bring il into
the market against this deluge Of the contraband
stuff, which can be bought in quantities TO suit
purchasers at 81 10 and 81 81 gallon. We sus-

seizures and confscations that will be made by
the officers OF the law and the lawful dlstillers
and dealers combined, this deluge Of fraudu-
lent whiskey will not be l.ayed, ~ the laws
now stand. The temptations 10 fraud are 80
great that as in the blockade running business
during the war, men will make heavy invest
ments and run great hazards to secure the rich
profits OF successful evasion OF the tax. A
liberal bounty, therefore, to the discoveref OF
any Illicit still or fraudulent lot Of whiskey
appears TO be the only way TO secure TO honesty
the balance Of power in this conflict between
lawful and fraudulent manufacturers OF and

The Coming virginia Election.

From the indications in Richmond it would
seem that there are good chances of Virginia
carrying through conservative victory In the
coming election. The registration shows a
very small negro majority, in all not more
than nine hundred. many of whom cannot vote
because they are Donresidents, and others
because, although registered in some shape,
they have no NAME and never had any. 1t
would be we'll if Virginia were to reconstruct
herself by adopting the constitutional amend
ment at her convention. II would be an
encouragement to the other Southern States to
20 and do likewise.
