The Military Com m ission at West

The Military Board convened in June
last to hear and receive whatever General
Porter and his opponents have to say IN his
case will resume their sessions at West
Point Oh Tuesday next. Great interest
naturally circles around this stigation,
Oh account both of General Porter and his
friends and of the government or his ac-
cusers and their friends. Up to the date
of adjournment in July last all the evidence
had been to the credit Of General Porter,
even that given by the witnesses called by
the government to controvert the new testi-
mony and to sustain the finding OF the court
martial which condemned him. Even the
principal witness put forward by General
Pope at his urgent request to sustain his
views admitted he was in error on the prom
inent and vital points in his original testi-
mony. After additional evidence, lasting
for few days, is presented by Porter
the government evidence will Immediately
follow, and it is understood that the coun-
try has been secured for witnesses to sustain
the latter side.
Considering that the evidence on Porter's
behalf has totally discredited that Of
General Pope and the other witnesses for
the prosecution on the original trial, it will
be due to those officers and to the govern
ment that they shall be summoned and be
made to testify If they were right then
their evidence should be sustaine ed and they
should have the opportunity to sustain it.
If they were wrong, and Porter has been
suffering under a severe and unjust SEN
tence these long years, they should be given
the chance to confess it if they are con-
vinced, or to maintain it if still of their origi-
nal opinion. In either case the country has
the right to their testimony and to know
whether Porter was or was not justly con-
demned The country calls for the "truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the truth, y
and wants no partial statement whitewash-
ing Porter and condemning his opponents,
Or unjustly condemning Porter, white
washing those who have accused him and
persistently held to the justice of their
accusations.
Porter has asked for full investigation,
so that this shall be the last of it, SO far as
a rehearing is concerned. Let him have it,
and if he was Justly sentenced let US know
it, and let him suffer. If not justly con.
demned let him be relieved of the sentence,
and let the country know who are the
offenders. The Board is composed Of hon.
ored and trusted officers, and it is due
to themselves, TO the army and to the coun.
try that the investigation shall be thorough

About This Time Look Out for Squalls .

Political almauacs are much like the old
fashioned ones without which no farmers
chimneypiece is complete. There are cer-
tain seasons OF the political year in which it
10 safe to predict squalls, and the approach
Of the election period is one of them. The
man who does not prophcsy disturbances at
such time, even without glancing at the
political barometer, is utterly destitute of
weather wisdom and is out of place every
where but in those celestial climes which it
is extremely improbable that politicians
ever enter. The squalls that are raging at
present originated in a centre of great de-
preston in the region of the ''outs' of city
politics, and are moving in direct line for
the .'ins," the most violent gusts raging
around the Sheriff, County Clerk and Reg
istor. We do not know how well in ship
shape these officers have their respective
crafts, but we assume that they have been
long enough upon the political sea to be al
ways prepared for squalls. Probably, too,
they have acquired sufficient experience to
The New York herald., 1878-09-12

avoid mistaking any number of squalls for
a cyclone. They will do well to be watch
full, however, for the natural tendency Of a
squall is to "carry away" something, and
the object of the particular squalls alluded
to is manifestly to carry commanding otfi-
GERS overheard and to wash new ones upon
deck in their places.

Tur WEAnrER.--A very remarkable change
has taken place in the bsronctrc conditions
during the past twenty y-four hours. The low
pressure thai was over the lower lakes and
western sections OF the Middle Atlantic States
has entirely disappeared. The pressure OF the
South Atlantic and Gulf coast il falling rapidly,
and there are indications OF very stormy weather
In that district. The barometer is exceedingly
high in the Northwest aud West. IL is also
high over tho New England States and Nova
Scotia The relative positions OF the two high
areas with that of tho depression readily ac-
counts for the dissipation oi the latter, for the
Constant indraught of wiud from both areas
very quickly equalized the pressuros throughout
all the districts Rain hss fallen and continues
to fall in the Ohio Valley, the lake regions and
the Middle Allan tic States. There has also
been "a slight fall OH the South Atlantic coast.
The winds have been from brisk to high OH tho
South Atlantic and Gulf coasts. They have
been generally brisk in the lake re-
gions, tho West and Northwest, and
elsewhere fresh. Temperatures have gen
orally fallen throughout all the districts, ex-
cept on the Middle Atlantic coast, wherc they
have been variable. There arc indications OF the
development of cyclonic storm northwest OF
the Bahama Islands, which will probably provo
severe. It's general course 10 likely to bc NORTH
sssterly, possibly following the outer edge OF
the Gulf Stream. Steamships bound for south
srn ports may expect rough weather. The
weather in New York and its vicinity to-day
will be cool and cloudy OF partly cloudy, with
raias. Tomorrow the same conditions are
likely to prevail in the early part of the day,

asked for the boy. Z" In a minute or
two" the mother said. Five min
utes passed. and he knocked at the
door. Nine. de Valdrome came out,
and in tears besought him to return
to Arcueil and ask the Superior to
leave the child over night. It is not
surprising that the good priest was
surprised. He became indignant
and insisted upon the boy being
given in his charge. The mother
refused to give him up. The priest
hurried to NJ. de Valdrome, who in
an instant devined that the case was
serious, and almost Immediately a
body of detectives under M. Rouffie
had been sent to the house.
" Where is the boy?" they said.
" Find him" she said. They didn't.
Next morning, New Years Day,
the detectives, who had kept close
watch over the house, saw Nine. de
Valdrome leave it at an early hour.
They tracked her to church where
she performed her devotions; then
they saw her move away through
the throng. Then they lost her.
She didn't go out by the main en-
trance-that was certain. and the
wary M. Rouffie himself was keep
ing watch at the sacristy door
through which possibly regular
member of the church might have
passed. But he had not seen the Ia
dy. One woman had passed out. an
old lady, bent double, specialized,
wrapped up in a big cloak and
coughing as if she were in the last
stages of consumption. Boufie had
politely presented her with the ho-
ly water, and after crossing herself
devoutly the old dame had tottersd
into her carriage and driven away.

but next day when he received tel

under certain circumstances it is an
advantage to woman to have had
experience as a star in comedy.
The Indians of Nevada are in
veterate gamblers. A party of
young Shoshones visited the,
Winnemuccas for the purpose of
capturing all their money at po-
ker, a game that the former had
recently learned. The scheme
was great success, and the
Shoshones were soon laden with
spoil. Then spake the old Win
nemucca chief, Buena Vista John,
saying that he knew not of the
poker of the pale faces, but he
would gladly engage his visitors
in the ancient game of klackity,
which was played with simple
pebbles, the number Of which
was guessed by his opponent as
he held them in his closed hand.
1t is said that klackity is won
derfully similar in principle to
our three card monte, in that

brought to sorrow. The young
Shoshones went home poorer
