WASHINGTON.
THE REPUBLICAN, POSITION ATTACK
ED ny THE GREENBACKERs.
Ne La Matyr and weaver Want an End
Of Sectional LeEislatiOn
Postal Matters.

Especial to the Democrat.l
WASHINGTON, d. O. April 4.-The Radical
revolutionists received another and most un-
expected blow to-day in the shape OF
an attack In flank by the Green
hackers. Weaver and De La Matyr. who are
recognized as spokesmen Of the Greenback
party, both attacked Garfield's position, and
announced their intention to vote substan-
TALLY with the Democrats on the pending
legislation.
Weaver's speech was particularly able and
created much excitement. The leading Dem
ocrats pronounce 1t the strongest argument
yet made In favor Of their policy, 80 far as
effect on the public mind IS concerned. What
alarms the Radicals is Weavers declaration,
that the people care nothing for issues raised
by Garfield, except to have them buried and
put 9ut of the way, and that what they really
want is practical Legislation for their relief
upon the subjects Of finance and taxation.
Weaver represents district in Iowa which
has given as high as 5000 Radical majority.
and has been q Republican himself since 1856.
Consequently, his utterances are regarded as
expressing the opinion OF large class Of men
hitherto voting the Radical ticket.
There are Indications that In case Hayes
signs the army bill as 1t Is passed. the Radi-
calls will abandon the ground taken by Gar
field, and make but feeble resistance to the
repeal Of election laws In the legislative bill.
King has been at work at the Postoffice De-
partment for the last two weeks to secure ad-
dltional postal facilities for his district, and
has succeeded In enlarging the service on
several important routes, together with estab-
fishing several new money order offices. The
Postmaster General will issue orders In ac-
cordance with Kings efforts next week. to
take effect Immediately. A.C.B.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-What shall be the

advisory one, to inquire, come to conclusions
and recommend They have come to con-
clusion vindcating Gen. Porter, and recon-
mend that he be reinstated into the army.
court-martial by which he was cashiered,
The decision of the court-martial is final and
cannot be revoked. Gen. Porter is at present
out Of the army and incapacitated, on account
OF being cashiered, to hold any position Of trust
under the government. The President can par
don or rather remit the penalty imposed by
cashiering in SO far as it relates to his dis
ability for holding office. Congress only, by
special legislation, can restore him to the
army. The President may recommend such
the recent board of inquiry before that body
for its actios. The board was appointed un-
der a resolution of Congress, and Congress
will act upon its repoSt. In case the bill is

the findings OF the convlcting court martial.
The findings of the court-martial, which have
received the approval of the President cannot
be reviewed. The recent report has never
been referred to the Judge advocate general
Of the army for revision or recommendation.
1t was a particular case, the reference Of
which was by no means necessary. There
Is no question that all the proceedings of the
board were legal. If such doubt existed the
Judge advocate general would have probably
been called on for a decision. II special act
OF Congress should be passed restoring Gen.
Porter to the army, he would be restored to
the rank held by him In the regular not
volunteer service. He was Major General Of
the volunteers, but Colonel In the regular
army. He would be entitled to claim back
pay in this case, and would get back pay as
Major General from the date OF his discharge
to the date of the mastering out volunteers.
This would cover period OF three years, and
such pay would amount to about $4,000; in
addition to this he would also be entitled to
back pay as Colonel from the date Of mus
tsiing out Of the volunteers up to the date Of
reinstatement. This would be for about four
teen years. and now would amount to about
s56,O0O. fhe total amount of back pay to
