The Case Of Fitz John Porter.

The minority of the House Committee on
Military Affairs, consisting of A. G. McCook,
of New York; B. F. Marsh, of Illinois, and
Thomas M. Browne, of Indiana, in their report
to Congress on the Fitz John Porter case, ep
pose the proposition of the majority of the
committee that Porter be restored to his rank
and pay. They say: sHis trial was held
within month of the battle of Manassas,
and when witnesses who were present
on the side of the national forces were
easily obtained The movements of the armies
we're fresh in the minds of those interested
The court was composed of men eminent in
their profession, six of them graduates of
West Point, some intimate personal friends of
accused, and some have become equally emf
nent In civil life, aud nothing has been shown
to convince US that they were not honestly
anxious to do justice in accordance with their
oaths, without partiality, favor, or affection
They conclude that Porter was without excuse
for having remained so long inactive in the
presence OF the enemy with two fine divisions
while great battle was being fought in his
vicinity, and that had he acted as he should
have done, by freeing the rest of the Union
line, he would probably have prevented the re-
verse which the latter sustained at the-close of
the day. The committee cay they have @con-
cluded to recommend the passage of joins
resolution removing SO much of Fitz John Por-
ters sentence as prohibits him from holding
any office OF profit or trust under the Govern

only did not vacate, but went to Stan,

he interfered with the house. Stanton
was furious at the threat, and made it
known at once to Lincoln. The latter
said to the astonished War Secretary :
"Well, Stanton, il Ward has said he
will kill you he certainly viii, and I'd
advise you to prepare for death without
further delay" The President prom
Used, however, to do what he could to
appease the murderous Marshal, and
this was the end of Stanton's attempt
on the house.

THE UTE INVESTIGATION.

Resume of the Testimony Taken by the
House Committee Indian Affairs.
Miss Josie Meeker's testimony before the
committee was to the effect that the Indians
were melted to the outbreak by their intense
native aversion to take on civilized modes of
life. They argued that, if once they began to
pillow the land and raise stock, they would be
expected to continue in the new life Their
young men would grow up with no taste for
the chase and the wild, savage life which has
characterized them for centuries. Another
hardship would be the stoppage of Government
annuities, which is now the sweetest boon to
the Indians of Colorado. Thornburgh may
have acted with too great precipitancy, and his
campaign threw the Utes into great consterna-
ton. IT
Miss Meeker said that q good many
of the soldiers were furiously drunk
at the time of the Thornburgh fight There
were barrels of whisky in the vicinity to which
the soldiers had full access. AT the time of the
massacre of her father the Indians were in
liquor. She denied that the exchange of the
$4,000 acres for 1000 acres by the Southern
Utes could have furnished the pretext for the
outrage, because the White River Utes lost
nothing by the exchange. More than that, they
protested to be glad that their Southern
brethren mad been outwitted. IF you had
held on to your land as we do you would not
now suffer" said they i'll derision. She also
disposed of the story of the Fort Rawlins
affair, wherein it is alleged by Leeds and Gen.
Fisk that the Indians were deprived of food
and clothing for a long time She said that
this never affected the White River Utes in the
least, and that they never made it the basis Of
q complaint. '
GOV. Pitkin, of Colorado, testified that, to
the best Of his belief, the cause of the Ute
outbreak was the antipathy of the savages to
work and the fear which they entertained that
with the advance of vilization they would be
compelled to abandon the chase and work the
soil for living. Gov. Pitkin stated that
the charges made against Meeker by the In
dams were that he was trying to educate their
children 10 induce them to cultivate the soil,
aud was blowing up their land for cultivation
They did not complain of his injustice or dis
honesty, nor did they charge that the citizens
OF Colorado had trespassed on their land or
infringed upon their rights in any way, but
simply that Meekera was carrying out the in
structions of the Interior Department
in asking them to adopt the customs
of civilized life. The Indians, said
the Governor, would neither stay on their
reservation nor entertain the idea that they
were bound to do SO. They wandered all over
the State and set forests on fire for the pur-
pose of driving game into the parks, where
they slaughter them wantonly, not for any
benefit to themselves, but to injure the whites,
who set great value on game. He also testl-
fed that the Indians wantonly destroyed timber
off their reservation because they knew 1t was
valIhhle ia the whites
