Since then there has been conviction
in the minds Of many citizens as well as
soldiers, that General Porter was made
the scape goat of other mems delin-
quencies-the victim of their mistakes
and ineificiency. This opinion at last
became so general that re-hearing,
which General Porter had been asking
for years, was finally granted him,
and eminent military men have been for
year past hearing evidence in the case,
by authority of Congress. The report
of their proceedings has just been made
public 1t is complete vindication OF
General Porter, vino will probably be
restored by Congress to his former po-
sition in the army The evidence how
ever, which exonerates him from all
blame, bears heavily on others, who
held at the time, more important com
mands, and it is not improbable that
they, too, will demand further investi-
cation.
