WASHINGTON, April 2.-President
Arthur is going to do something for
General Fitz John Porter; that can
be asserted as a certainty. Exactly
what shape action on the case will
take cannot be stated now. It is
known, however, that in dealing with
the question a compromise is being
considered. The snags upon which ia.
vorablc consideration for Porter strike
are two. Porter and his friends want
him retired as Colonel in the army on
the active list, to date from his dis
missal, and with full pay up to the
present time. The President is I'M
willing 10 go that far. Several compro
misses have been spoken Of in the Cabi-
net. The one which seems most likely
10 be the basis Of action in favor OF
Porter is that he shall be hOnorably
discharged from the service at the date
that the other. Major Generals of vol
unteers were mustered out-that
is, 1865, but with back pay
only to that date from The
time of dismissal, which was
two years earlier, and then he is to be
nominated as Colonel OF infantry, but
only on the retired list. General
Porter's friends do not seem inclined
to accept these terms, but they will
have to come down 10 them, as the
President will not do anything more
for him. General Grant has exercised
all Of his influence in behalf of Porter.

joke consisted in soliciting subscrip-

collecting in Roses jewelry store for
the aid OF destitute family bearing
the mythical name Of Craigham.
Quite number of quarter and half
dollars were contributed to the
worthy cause, and after each subscrip-
ton the jokers would mildly suggest
to the subscriber that it was the first
of April, and ask him to join in spend
ing his contribution. Among the
number was Charles Frazer, news.

by having the sextet arrested for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
They were all taken before Mayor
Petro, who informed them that their
offense was a penitentiary one, and
placed them all under bond. After
the sacred six had rushed about town
all afternoon and managed to secure
bondsmen, the charge against them
was withdrawn this evening, aud their
victims are enjoying huge laugh at
their expense.

The Degradation of Missouri
New York SUM-

The final scene in the tragedy of which
Jesse james has been the hero, leaves no
doubt in regard to the part played by the
Governor of Missouri. Whatever people
may have heretofore thought about his
conduct, he now stands before the pub
lie as an accessory to the murder of a
murderer
Is there any other instance recorded
in the history of civilized country
where men who expressly declare them
selves to be guilty of deliberate muir
der, have been freely pardoned
The holiness of the Fords in thus
pleading guilty upon their arraignment
in court, can be accounted for only by
assuming that they had been assured in
advance Of the pardon which so speedily
restored them to liberty and to the
ability treacherously to kill Others in
cold blood as they killed Jesse James.
1t may be that such methods of ad-
ministering justice as have been employ
ed in this case, are satisfactory to the
good people of the State of Missouri
Like their Governor, they may believe
that the end justifies the means, even
though the means be the felonious
taking of human life.
At this distance from the scene it is
impossible to understand how the well
fare of great community can be pro-
NOTED by raising up one crop OF murder
ers to STAY another and earlier crop. You
get change in the variety of the muir
derers; that is ALL

Peculiar Missiles.

At the battle of Groveton, Stonewal
Jackson tried an experiment which
nearly frightened Federal division ou
of their boots. Bars of railroad iror
were cut into foot lengths and fired
from some of his heaviest guns, and the
noise these missiles made as they
went sailing through the air was a
sort of cross between the shrek of a
woman and the bray of a mule. The
Federals listened in wonder at the first
few which banged through the tree tops,
and presently one of the pieces fell just
in front of Pennsylvania regiment. A
captain stepped forward to inspect it,
and after turning it over rushed to his
colonel with the news:
s'Colonel, those internal Rebs are firing
railroad iron at u.s.
"No"
s'They are for fact.''
''Captain, advance your company to
that ridge and deploy, and the minute
you find jackson is getting ready to fire
