in Washington from Richmond this
morning and taken before the bar of the
House by the Scrgcant-at-Arms. Mr..
Porter was most cruelty beaten. and on
his arrival here on Monday, some of hi
friends hardly knew him. both o his
ewes being hlackencd and his head other
wise bruised. No other provocation for
this brutal assault than that Mr.. Porter
was Union man and voted the Union
ticket in the Richmond municipal cleo
House will meet to this Woods the pun
shmcnt he deserves.
