If the facts in the case of Fitz John Por-
ter were really what the Press supposes
them to be, its invective would be entirely
justified. But they are not Facts are now
offered by Porter, which were not accessi-
BILE at the time of his first trial, and which
vindicate the good judgment whereby
Pope's army was saved from utter destruc-
ton. 1t is to consider these facts which
are so explanatory" as to demonstrate
the Justice of reversal of the Porter YER
dict that that much-injured soldier and de-
voted patriot persistently demands of his
Government the appointment of court.
The request is reasonable. General Grant
and General Sherman are not men to per-
nit whitewashing of incompetency, dis
obedience, or disloyalty to superior officers.
They are soldiers and GOOD judges of
soldierly duty, and it is to the competent
unbiased judgment of such men that Fit2
John Porter persists in demanding that he
shall be permitted to make appeal. Vice.
President Wilson, Senator Sumner, and
scores of other men whose loyalty no one
will question, have signed paper asking
that General Porter be granted a new sria
by the Secretary of War, the court to b.
selected, of course, by the President through
the Secretary of War. We repeat tina
the request is reasonable If the ST Pau
Press believes the facts to be as we stat
them, it will go farther and say that tn
denial of such request would be inhu

A Pertinent Question.

EUening Express now charges him and
the proofs of which it claims are OH
record and have been for years, is not
that paper more culpable than Mr..
Beaudry in not making the facts

public-spirited and liberal-minded
citizen the man it now denounces as
everything that is bad. VOTER.
2 Los Angeles, Dec. 2, 1874. yaa
The charges of the Express are false
in toto, and none are more fully aware
of their falseness than the managers
of that sheet. The records disprove
every charge yet made against Mr..
BEAUDRY and prove the authors of
those charges wilful and malicious
slanderers. Until Mr.. BEAUDRY be-
came candidate for Mayor and the
Express accepted the wages of the
sls.nderer, it could hardly find words
to express its praise of him,
