mains for me, while / live, to do my

There is one other point to which
wish to allude. During this very
trial, during the very pendency of
the trial, Fitz John Porter said in the
presence of my informant, who is a
man that most of you know, and who
is to-day in the employment of Con-
gress, and whose word / would take

though l told him would not use his

mOny, taken down within two min

FitZ John Porter said in his presence,
Il was not true to Pope, and there's
no use in denying il"
Mr.. President, what was mot true
to POpe?n If he was not true to Pope,
whom was he true to? Being true to
Pope was being true to the country;
mot true to POpen was being a traitor
to the country. Sir, "not true to
POpen meant the terrific fight of the
S0th of August, with all the blood and
all the horrors of that bitter day;
mot true to Pope" meant the battle
of Antietam, with its thousands of
slain and its other thousands manned;
mot true to Popen meant the first
battle of Fredericksburg, with its
twenty thousand slain and MANNED
mot true to Pope" covered the bat
ties of the Wilderness and Cold Har-
Dor and all the dreadful battles that
followed. Had Fitz John Porter been
true to his Government, Jackson
would have been destroyed on the
10Th of August, and on the 30th the
rebels could scarcely have offered any
resistance to our victorious army.
Not true to Pope" meant three hun
dred thousand slain, and two thousand
millions of additional dollars expend-
ed.
Sir, L wish to put this on the record
for all time, that it may remain. Let
FitZ John Porter thank God that he
yet lives, and that he was not living
at that time under a military Govern
ment. 1 told General Pope, in the
first interview l had with him, that I
had but one fault to find in the whole
conduct of the campaign. He asked,
what is that?" Said /, "That you

FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS
OF THE
Ches apeake & Ohio Railroad Company.

Che apeake & Ohio Railroad Company.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, connect
ing the Atlantic coast and the magnificent
harbors OF the Chesapeake Bay with the
Ohio River at a point OF reliable navigation
and thus, with the entire Railroad system
and water transportation Of the great West
and Southwest, forms the additional East and
West Trunk Line, so imperatively demanded
for the accommodation of the immense and
rapidly-growing transportation between the
Atlantic seaboard and Europe on the one
hand, and the great producing regions of the
Ohio and Mississippi Valleys on the other.
The importance Of this Road as a new outlet
from the West to the sea magnifies it into one
of national consequence, and insures to itan
extensive through traffic from the day of its
completion; while. in the development Of
the extensive agricultural and mineral re-
sources of Virginia and west-Virginia, it
possesses, along its own line, the elements
of large and profitable local business.
Thus the great interest, both general and
local, which demand the completion Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio
River, afford the surest guarantee of its sue
cess and value, and render It the most impOr-
tant and substantial Railroad enterprise now
in progress in this Country.
Its superiority as an East and West route,
and the promise Of an immense and profit
able trade awaiting its. completion, have
drawn to it the attention and cooperation
Of prominent Capitalists and Railroad men
Of this city OF sound judgment and known
integrity, whose connection with it, togeth-
er with that of eminent citizens and business
men of Virginia and West-virginia, insures
an energetic, honorable, and successful nanAga- /

The CHRONICLE.
GIVE HIN A CHANCE.
ny GEORGE W. RUNGAY.

Give him a chance, the world Is wide
He. poor man, is not in your way;
The sun and wind and pulsing tide,
And the night as well as the day,
Are given 10 all, and none are denied
The rain that falls in silver spray,
Look not or his worn coat aSkance-
Give him a chance, give him n chance.
Give him a chance, though his purse be thin
And his note unknown at the bank,
He is poor; but is il a sin
To stand unstained in the humblest rank
Soft is the heart that beats within,
Har,i IS the hand that turns the crank;
Impale him not with your scornful glance
Give him a chance, give him n chance.
Give him n chance though his name
Has been blown thro' the trump Of praise,
He is n stranger to wealth and fame,
His forehead has not been wreathed IN
bays
But his blood was turned 10 liquid fame,
In a storm OF fire in our battle days;
Swift were his feet in the proud advance
Give him a chance, give him chance.
Under his threadbare coat and vest,
Near his heart is n crimson scar:
He wears no ribbon upon his breast,
And yet his courage deserves star;
He rushed to the front like regal guest
To a festival of kings afar;
y Drawer hand ne'er poised lance
Give him chance, give him chance.

Speech OF

case of Fit John Porter.
Western Reserve chronicle. [volume] (Warren, Ohio) 1855-1921, 1870-03-30

should like to go more fully into this
subject; but / cannot. The court,
after fOrty-fiye days spent in careful
investigation, brought in unanimous
ly the verdict against Porter. Many
of the members of that court were in
favor of sentencing him to suffer
death. 1t is rumOred, and many be-
lieve, that the only reason the death
penalty was not inflicted was the fear
that Mr.. Lincoln, whose kindness of
heart was so well known, would not
execute the sentence; and hence,
they unanimously brought in the YER
dict they did. It was first carefully
examined and reviewed by Mr.. Holt,
the Judge Advocate General; it was
then examined seridtiBI by the then
Secretary of War, and by the Presi-
dent. No more just tribunal ever in
vestigated case, presume TO assert,
than this tribunal, and there its find
ing stands.
1t may be asked, How came it that
misunderstanding almost as univer-
sal as complete was suffered to be put
upon the country? General Pope
himself says:
TO General Halleck, but by that time influ-
ences OF questionable character, and trans
actions Of most unquestiOna bic imprOpriety
which were well known at the time, had en-
tirely changed the purposes Of the authOri-
ties. II is not necessary, aud perhaps would
scarcely be in place, for me TO recount these
things"
1t is as well known to others pres
ent as to me that during that gloomy,
eventful Sunday which succeeded the
last battle on Saturday, the S0th of
August, the President and Mr.. STAN
ton were OverTun and overcome with
statements that unless Mcclellan was
restored to command 1.-The Army
would not fight"
These statements came from men
who did not mean it should fight,
who could not in the exigeney of the
moment be displaced. The President
was able afterward to relieve McCleI-
Ian and eourt-martial Porter. Had
he lived he would have seen justice to

More Capitalization.

The democracy have discovered another
step towards Capitalization OF power in
the legislation Of last winter. transferring
the employment Of School teachers from
School Agents to the School Committee.
One would think. from the seriousness
with which they approach the matter and
the caro- with which they prepare rcsolu.
tons for School District meetings to pass,
that there was great danger that the
liberties Of the people wonld be sacriiiccd'
The change is by no means radical. nor
an untried experiment. Other States
have demonstrated the advantages OF the
new system, and even towns in our State
have done so. When the State Superin,
iendent of Schools submitted to the School
Committee of the different towns in the
State, the question "What would you
advise To advance the interests OF our
Common Schools" more than three.
fourths of the towns replied, "conler the
appointment Of teachers upon the School
Committees, rather than School Agents"
1t was upon this evidence, the best that
could be procured, that the change was
made Who are better qualified to judge
what will promote tho interest of tho
Schools than those who visit them rs

would give more for ,hrir Judgment than
that of the parents of scholars, who never
visit the school room. but who form their

preiudiced stories of fault finding children.
