the recent publication of Porters letter
criticising Grants management of the
Fort Fisher expedition. As to the fact
that Porter was at the time supposed to
be the ardent friend of Grant, can only
say, in the mild way Admiral Farragut
used to put it, when told of something
unpleasant Porter had said relative to
his superior: "Well, well, it's only David.
He can't help talking, and no one minds
him." The publication is interesting as
proving what said some time ago, that
there was a row brewing in the Navy De-
partment, and that Robson and Porter
were at swords points. 1t would be a
good thing to get up quarrel there.

the Navy Department is the closest OF
corporations, the neatest OF tight-htting

Joining, or the allowing of it to be done,

WASHINGTON, Nov. lS.--Friday last
the President directed Secretary Fish TO
send cable dispatch to london, perem
torily recalling Motley as Minister to
England. Moran is telegraphed to act
as Charge d'Affaires until new Minis

a reason for this immediate action, the
necessity for an instant decision in the
fishery controversy with Canada, and
other differences with the British govern
ment, which he does not feel inclined to
trust to the management Of Motley.
A lively contest is arising over the va
cant commssIonership of internal reve

their claims with much strength. The
Senators here all appear to be greatly in
terested in the contest, but it is still i'm
possible to give any opinion as to The res

and is still pressed by Pennsylvania.
1t was stated Yesterday, by Senator
that Senator Morton received from the
President, promise that he would ap
point Col. Cumback, of Ind, if that
gentleman would accept. 1t is known
that the President is anxious to recog

waiting for an indication of his wish.
