ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE oREGoNIAN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The majority
report of the Committee on Military
Affairs in the Porter case, presented to
day, recites the facts Of Gen. Porter's
accusation in 1862, his trial and sentence
in 1866, and efforts to obtain rehearing.
1t also recapitulates the -eLearing before
the Military Board presided over by Gen.
Schofeld, which reviewed all the origi-
nal evidence obtained, all additional testi-
mony accessible at the date of its setting,
and which decided unanimously that
Porter was innocent, and should in justice
be restored to his military position, and
that such restoration should date from
the day of his dismissal. The Committee
fully concur in the conclusion of the
Schoield Board, whose report is adopted
by them and submitted as the greater
part If their statement of the facts and
arguments. They further say that they
have deemed it their duty to report bill
for his relief in substantial accord with
the conclusions OF the Schofield Board.
The minority of the Committee repert
with expressions of regret and embar-
rassment that they must antagonize the
finding of the Schofield Board, and ad- :
here to the conclusions of the Board con-
vened in 1862, Lincoln having approved
the sentence and Lincoln, johnson and
Grant having successively disregarded
Porter's appeals for reopening of the
case. In this they ignore the specific
testimony of Ex-Governor Newell of
New Jersey, that Lincoln had already
determined to order the rehearing when
his purposes were frustrated by DEATH
The Committee remark that the first trial
was had before competent tribunal and
when the facts were fresh. They are
silent about Porter's claim that the most
essential facts in the case were not attain>
able at that time, and so were not and
could not be presented for consideration
by the original judges in the case. The
minority has now practically assumed to
he better judges of all the facts than the
Schofield Board. It thinks that the evil
dence shows that Porter. had no faith in
Pope, and they infer their conviction
that this proves that he had an insubordi.
nate motive for disobeying Pope's order.
The minority claims that his conduct is
to pe judged simply by the facts as shown
at that time, and not as they now appear
through the testimony of ex Confederate
officers. In this, again, they ignore and
are silent upon the fact that Porter's de-
fence from the beginning was that Pope's
order to attack the enemy's flank could
not be executed, because instead OF hav-
irg said flank in his flank as Pope sup
posed when the order was written, Porter
being on the spot knew that the main
body of the Confederates was already
posted in his immediate front, facts
which are now fully sustained by Con-
[ tederate testimony, and knowledge OF
which at the time compelled Porter to
exercise the ordinary discretion of a

corps commander, and failure to do which
would have made Porter responsible for
sure and overwhelming disaster to the
whole army of Virginia, in other words,
that his exercise of discretion was both
justifable and wise. The minority, how>
ever, recommend a joint resolution that
the President be requested to remit the
remainder of the unexecuted sentence
which disqualifies Gen. Fitz John Por.
Ter from holding any office of trust or
profit under the Government of the
United States. They apologize for this
illogical conclusion of their argument,
that Porter was justly convicted by
reference to the general amnesty which
has been extended to participants 10 the
rebellion, thus making no distinction be-
tween what they virtually hold to have
been reasonable treachery by a Union
corps commander, and the act of those
who honestly, even though mistakenly,
served the flag which they professed to
support and took their chances in fight
ing for the rebellion.
The Fitz John Porter Bill as
Amended.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The bill of
Representative Bragg, for the restoration
of Fitz John Porter, as amended by the
Military Committee, gives General Por~
ter the pay Of Major General from jan
uary %, to the first of September, 1866,
and for Colonel from that date to the
present day. 1t is roughly estimated
that his allowance for arrears of pay will
amount to between $4,000 and 100000,
and IS in lieu Of the $75, 900 at first pro-
posed.
