REAsoNs PoR NOT VOTING WITH HIS PARTY
Mr.. HALE OF NEw-YoRK WINS MANY FRIENDS
LITTLE PROSPECT OF THE BILL BECOMING ALAw.
lPY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-The passage of the Civil
Fights bill by The House to-day a foregOne con-
olnsiou and the scenes attending the close of of
the hardest of recent political contests in the House
were tame and unnterestinG when compared with
some of the exciting incidents in the earlier portions
Of the debate. The notable speeches Of the day
were those of Messrs. Kellogg Phelps. and Garfield
Mr. Kellogg was the author of the amendment
striking out of the bill all reference TO schools and he
supported that amendment IN as short pointed speech
of about Ten minutes. Mr.. Phelps, who was allowed
fifteen minutes OF Mr.. Cessnas time, made the most
telling speech of the day. His references to the
memory Of Mr.. Sumner in his opening remarks were
elOaucnt aud touching, and the charge that tins
great founder # the party had been turned out OF
il by its late recruits and that the leadership which
he earned by long and distinguished service had
been usurped by those whom he had made his lieu
tenants. must have been keeuly felt by some of
those Senators who assisted in the attempt to degrade
Mr.. Sumner and who were lsteningtO Mr.. Phelps's
speAch to-day Mr. Phelps first showed some Of the
reasons why the passage of this bin was not polite
tans apncalrng to motives which the most Of its
advocates could fully understand and appreciate
and having made very strong case by this line OF
argument be took the narrow minded partisans by
surprise by saying that if these had been his only
reasons he would not have broken of from his party
and voted against the bill year ago. He believed
in party organizations in their value and necessity
and he was always ready to yield, in MATES OF
opnion t. the Judgment Of the majority. But there
were other aud higher why he voted against
the bill He believed this legislation hostile to the
Constitution, and for that reason lie could not
coDscicntiously support it.
Gen ButleI's speech was almost failure IL
lacked both the point aud the force that 1t was eX-
pected would mark his effort in closing the debate,
and his attack on Mr.. Brown was weak, bungllng
aud Intellectual. Mr.. Hale of New-YOrk made tor
himself many flcIds to-day by his attempt at fair
llay and IN, persistent manner in which he strived
t. prevent Gen. Butler from having read letter
written by Mr.. Brown in 1861. When 1t was read 1t
amounted tonothing, as il merely showed that Brown
was then disloyal a fac, that nobody denied
Mr. Shanks made good point by moving the first
rcrolution If the Cincinnati platform Of 1872 as o
preamble to the bill. separate vote was taken
upon this, and only % Democrats voted against 1t.

THE CASE OF GEN. FITZ-JOHN PORTER.
WASHINGTON, Friday, Feb. 8, 1s'


Gen. Fitz-John Porter has presented to
President Grant another nervously-written and
very strong appeal for rehearing OF his
case by Board of army officers, upon
the around of public justice, because of new
evidence of unquestionablc character which, If 1t
had been attained at the time OF the trial, would
have insured his acquittal. The appeal is accom-
panied by opinions from several eminent lawyers
who declare that the evidence on which Gen. Porter
was convicted does IN fact acquit him of the
charges. Among those who thus hold is Mr.. Charles
OConor, whose opinion embraces a searching anal
ysis of the entire case. Gen. Porter reminds Gen.
Grant that he once said that lie Porter) wonld be
entitled 10 a rehearing on such case as is now
offcICd Finally he declares that he has proof that
