The board of enquiry in the case OF Gen
Fitz John Porter find that he was convicted
before upon erroneous evidence, due part
lyto the imperfect knowledge of witnesses
partly to inaccurate maps, and partly To the
differences of prominent officers from both
these sources of information. The board
declare that they rest General Porters ac-
quittal upon accurate testimony from eye
witnesses and trustworthy maps. The
conclusion derived is in brief, that General
Porter endeavore under all circumstances
to obey orders with all possible zeal and
despatch. and that in the particulars in
which he failed to comply with them. he was
merely exercising the usual discretion of a
corps commander. At the same time,
however, that the report acquits him of the
crime for which he was dismissed the ser
vice. il ascribes his misfortune mainly to
his indscreet and unsolderly talk concern
ing his commanding officer, which caused
his conduct and his motives to be miein-
terpreted.

From the Belfast Journal
Democratic Consistency.

The Bangor Commercial recently had an
article saying that the editor OF the Belfast
Journal had ''gone to his own place, like Ju-
das, for having sold himself to the hard mon
ey men in the city election" They may be
consderedvery sharp and sarcastc-but etus
call the wandering mind of the Commercial to
few facts. In 1874 the democracy Of Maine,
in Convention assembled, passed the follow
ing resolution -
Rcsolred That an inflated and irredeemabe paper

community. II enables cunning and INSCRIPTIONS
spectators to rob producers OF the fruits OF their
labor and affiicts every reputable business with III"
peril Of continued panic and disaster. We regard
currency based on specie redemption the only one
upon which the business of the country can be safely
transacted, and hold that we should as rapidly "a
possible approximate TO such "A circulating medium
Marcellus Emery, then editor of the Com
mercal, was upon this committee, and there
were also upon it such democrats as Philo
Clark, w. II. Clifford, Monroe Young, VIM.
r. Smith s. C. Harrington and others. There
were also present, as members of that Con
vention, J. C. Madigan, ID. ii. Ingraham, +. F.
Pilsbury, Alonzo Garcelon, and others, and
not a voice was raised against the platform.
Upon that platform Joseph Titcomb was nom
mated for Governor A committee Of the
convention subsequently addressed to the
nominee the following letter:

Dear sir. The undersigned were appointed Il Com
Inittee by the Democratic State Convention, holden

Now that the trade and dicker board who
control the Commercial have sold themselves
for the hope of few offices, they howl out
treachery to us, who still stand by those dec

ers, 'Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart, little
dogs and all, bark in imitation, and yelp the
praises of soft money. What commentary
on political consistency! What beautifully

party leaders on this question and was obliged
by sense of consistency and decency to re-

armor; and the catastrophe on board the
Thunderer seems to indicate the direction
in which the limit is TO be found. The iron
founders art does not keep progress with
tho need for increased power in can
non, since castings beyond a certain
size cannot be certainly made without
flaws; and however these great guns
are built up the basis is always casting.
Armor can be put on ships as heavily as it
can be foated, and it does not lose in quail
ity by addition. Guns lose in quality in
proportion to the addition of weight. It is
easier to increase the resistance to the di-
rect operation of force than to increase the
power of on implement in which scarcely
calculable forces are to be developed. How
many OF the big guns in the world to-day
are as worthless as the one on the Thun-
derer? Since the mania for this sort OF ar
tillery seized upon governments these cam
non have never been brought into actual
use in any war, and when they are they
may prove worse for the many in the tur-

attempt to lombard positions on the Bos-
phorus would have been absolutely fatal to

More Bridgeport Miles.

The sport loving public has heard that
the mile, as q standard of distance, was re-
constructed ut Bridgeport Lost November by
the exquisitely simple process of cutting off
large piece of it. They were not in
formed, however, that q special improve
ment in walkers records was devised at the
same time, and was industriously tested
upon the record of Campana. 1t is not ab-
solutely necessary 10 believe that ''Sport"
was party to this labor-saving operation,
which consisted merely Of chalking up q
few extra miles to the walkers credit while
no one was looking. but it is great shame
that when his record was susceptible of i'm
proyement by such method it was allowed
to stand at only five hundred and twenty
one and one-quarter miles for six days,
when q few extra strokes Of the markers
chalk could have made it outfigure the best
scores ever made by the tedious, stupid,
old-time system of walking fifty-two hun
dred and eighty feet to the mile. Indeed,
there is no positive limit to the new system
of computing Distance, SO We may yet hear
Of some exciting walking match in Con-
necticut in which nearly all the work will be
done by the marker while the contestants

A Consistent Physician.

There was something charmingly logical
and consistent in the disposition which the
late DR.. Habel made Of his own physical
remains. Understanding by experience
the great service to the healing art of the
study Of tho human structure by actual
physical examination, and knowing how
great is the demand for subjects, he be-
queathed his own body to surgical col
lege for dissection. 1t was cruelty sug-
gested few months ago that the eighty
thousand physicians in the United States
might put an end to the business Of body
stealing if each would by will present his
own remains to his profession, for this
plan would provide about two thousand
subjects per year, which would really be
somewhat in excess of the demand. The
profession did not respond as promptly to
the suggestion as amateurs in science might
have expected; perhaps the physicians
thought the cheapest way out of the logical
conclusion was to provide u substitute, for
subjects" seem to have been pretty cheap
within the year. DR.. Habel, however,
appears to have loved his profession more
than himself, and thus reached that degree
of unselfshness without which consistency
is impossible. 1t may be, however, that he
is but the first fruits OF the above sugges-
tion, and that his professional brethren, as
o body, are going to follow his example.
The New York herald., 1879-01-06

what has been said on this important point
in a great periodical by distinguished men
of recognized capacity, who may be contem-
plated as experts in regard to the physical
influence of certain fluids upon the human
system. They pronounce in favor of the
use in defined circumstances and in mod
crate Quantities of a fluid which the
fanatics would like to obliterate from the
number of created things and FOL. the very
existence of which some of them would
impeach the wisdom Of divinity. But the
point of view taken by Gull, Paget and
the others in England, is widely different
from that taken by the agitators. Agitation
has for its corner stone the habitual drunk
ard-the lost and depraved. 1t starts from
him, holds him up as an awful example,
and would regulate all the world on princi-
pies constructed to prevent this occurrence,
which is irrational-a little as if people
should be required to sit on sofas all their
lives because the practice of walking some
times results in broken legs. But the ply
sicians set the habitual drunkard aside as
result of exceptional circumstances and dis
ease, and deal with the indulgence of wants
felt on the supposition that men can con-
troll their appetites. They take the more
generally correct view of humanity.

Still Unsettled.

The delay in the arrival of members of
Assembly at Albany, consequent upon the
storm. leaves the question of the Speakership
apparently in doubt. although the strong
probability is that the prize will be secured
by Mr.. Thomas G. Alvord. Our ALBANY
correspondence points at the possibility of
new movement which might bring forward
either DR.. Isaac I. Hayes or General George
Fl. Sharpe, and this would unquestionably be
a wise policy to adopt. in view OF the ques-
tionable influences that have been actively
at work for at least one of the ex-Speakers.
The names Of those who are laboring on
Mr.. Alvord's behalf and Of the members
who are likely to hold prominent places on
his committees, as given in our Albany cor.
respondence, are not calculated to recon-
mend his election to popular favor. Mr..
Sloan does not ''give mp the ship; : indeed,
he insists on representing his chances OF
success as superior to those of Mr.. Alvord;
but we believe the only chance Of defeating
the latter would be to start some new candi-
date, like DR.. Hayes, whose character and
qualifications arc unquestionable, and who
could obtain votes that will not be cast for
Mr.. Sloan.
