down with such eager thirst and such blind
rage that even the strong arm of sovereig7
power cannot always protect him from tho
avenging spirit that seeks his destruction.
But, when the producing causes of these
disturbing elements have passed away, the
facts can be examined into calmly, carefully
and justly. Then the errors and injustice
of the past can be retrieved. The man who
has been the unfortunate victim can be re-
stored to his good name and his rights.
You are called upon to review the proceed
ings of the court-martial in the aspect have
thus presented to you. If you should re-
verse their action, it involves no necessary
reflection upon the court or it's members.
You are but reviewing the action of a. court,
to ascertain whether their judgment was cor
rect or not, in view of all the light you have
upon these transactions. -,
Nor is this at all an unusual thing: for
there is not an appellate court in the land
which is not constantly reviewing the pro-
ceedings that have taken place in some court
below, where judges who are supposed to be
entirely free from partiality and from preju
dice, have yielded to influences
one KIND or another, and where
the appellate courts have been COM
PEELED to set aside their judgments,
either because they have been unable from
prejudice or partiality or bias to render a
correct judgment, or because they have made
mistake, without impairing, in the slightest
egree, confidence in the integrity and honor
the judge and court below. And want
distinctly understood that do not mean
y one word which I have said to impute to
ne court martial, or to the judge advocate
general who conducted this case, any want of
0r 1rofo +0o
upon their motives or conduct in the course
of the trial.
My whole effort has been to show that
they have been misled, and have fallen into
these errors chiefly by reason of the testi-
mony which was adduced before them; that
those errors are now manifest and clear; that
that record cannot be read without finding
them; and if you believe that, then it is your
duty so to find, and so inform the President
of the United States. If you come to that
conclusion-if you come to the conclusion
that they did make these mistakes s-if
you come to the conclusion that they did so,
either by reason of the testimony as it exist
ed before them or by reason of the testi-
mony which has been brought before YOU;
IN either event we feel that it is your duty,
under the circumstances, so to declare by
your finding, and to vindicate Gen. Porter
from the charges which were made against
him, which destroyed his name and his rep
utation at the time the trial took place. So
far as any further recommendation NAV be
concerned, have no suggestions to make
The only effort have made is to have the
facts so presented as to induce you by your
finding to restore Gen. Porter's name to
that page of history which, thus far, since
1862, has been blank; to restore it there
with the purity and integrity and the honor
for which he exerted himself as q soldier,
and Which he has always endeavored to
maintain as man.

A HUGE JOKE.

Hosv They "Established Meeicon Trade.
American Reporter.]
The party of e1cusionists who went down
to Mexico went to establish trade between
the two countries about as much as Noah
went up the mountain to take bath. They
went to have good time, and they had it.
Its manager needed money, and he made it
out of the excursionists. He had an eye to
trade himself, ard he came back Mexican
consul at Chicago. Some of the excursion
lists wanted business, but great many more
OF them wanted warm climate in cold
weather, a grand time at the expense of the
Mexican government, and plenty of Mexican
whisky. They got the warm weather
and the whisky, but all they got at the ex-
pense of the Mexican government you could
put in your eye. AS business undertaking,
the expedition was not even colossal fraud
it was very small humbug. To call it
''The American Industrial Deputation" was
enough to make an overworked Mexican
donkey smile. have before me list of
the e1cursionists; of the eighty persons en-
rolled can pick out at moments notice
forty-four persons who had no business
whatever, ostensibly or otherwise. Of the
remaining thirty six, not six actually went to
Mexico to extend their trade; and not four of
them actually did anything toward it. If they
had they would not have succeeded. The ex-
cursionists were after riches, and they found
them in half the old idols and decayed skulls
in the Mexican republic. I might mention
one of the party, who had no business at all,
who would not have hesitated to 20 into
a gentleman's house and ask for sample of
| his parlor carpet. This gentleman brought
home cargo of Aztec Indian skulls, and
enough roots and plants to set up second
hand botanical garden. Nothing could
satisfy his rapacity, and he was but little
worse than large majority of the party.
The unlucky Mexican who brought samples
of his wares to the principal hotels for ex-
hibition soon had to 60 back to his shop for
more samples. The excursionists always
met him half way, and always loaded them
selves down with the samples. Anything
! that was free was soon gathered in.
Many of the party were from
quiet rural Western towns, and were
getting their first taste of rubbing against
the outside world. They scattered their
satchels and bundles all over the republic
leaving one or two in every town the
stopped in. The man who did the mos
1ourishing business was chrome man
from Chicago, who sold cheap but gaudy
chromos at high prices, just as fast as the
Mexicans could make the change. The ex-
hibition in the college of mines, if it could
be looked upon seriously as an exhibit of
American wares, would be a standing dis
grace to the country. The goods exhibited
we're of the cheapest and most ordinary
kinds, and there were very few of them.
There is tenfold better display of American
goods in any pawnshop's sale store in the
Bowery than was exhibited in Mexico.
