GRANT ON PORTER.
ais Change OF Heart Causes much
Talk.

Talk
A Washington telegram Says The recent
frank, unequivocal declaration Of Gen Grant
to the effect that his opinion of the Fitz John
Porter case has radically changed, and that he
is now convinced Porter is greatly injured
man. is becoming more and more subject of
discussion among Congressman, Off
Gals, and army people. Gen. Grants
statements are great surprise to persons who
have for many years bitterly denounced Porter
and stubbornly defended the action of the
court martial. Gen. Grants outspoken con-
fession OF his own error in this case, and his
determination to make amends by doing all
he can to remove the stigma from Porter's
record, have brought embarrassment to
men like Gen. Logan and Gen. Sherman,
who during the last Congress claimed to have
given careful study to the evidence produced
before the Schofeld Board of Inquiry, and who,
despite that evidence stuck perslstently to their
old opinion.
The friends of Fitz John Porter were very
much elated at the frank avowal of Gen. Grant
that Porter has been wronged and ought to be
vndicated. They expect to get bill for
Porter's reinstatement through this Con-
gress now without much difficulty. A promi-
nent Republican said to night that Gen. Grants
change of opinion would not influence Senator
Logan to reverse his judgment and favor the
b Ii to re.nstate Porter. He said Logan may,
out Of respect for Grant, remain silent, but he
viii not vote for such a bill. The Democrats
generally give Gen. Grant credit for
an honest change of opinion in this
matter. leading Democratic Senator
said tonight that he took no stock
in the theory that Grant was maneuvering to
catch Democratic votes in favor of bin for
placing his own name on the army retired list.
He said he knew Grant to be a very candid
man, and one ready to make acknowledgement
if he discovered himself to be in error;
that, having recently studied the case for
the first time Grant reached the conclusion
that his previous opinion had been wrong,
and frankly said SO. This Senator added that,
in his opinion the bill to retire Grant will pass
as several Democratic Senators perhaps half a
dozen--intend to vote for it. Any bill to sim
ply reinstate Porter will receive the support OF
all the Democrats in Congress but should it
propose to reimburse him in the shape Of back
pay it will meet with strong opposition from

Abiding to his controversies with Judge
Porter, Scoyile disclaimed any intention tC
transgress the bounds Of propriety or the
rules of practice, but he should criticise the
conduct of counsel when it merited criticism,
and threats of prosecution would not intim i
date him. Citing the custom of counsel upoI

Corkhill next proceeded to read from printed

Davidge then discussed at length the ques-

Judge Porter began his address with refer
ence to the disorder which had characterized
the proceedings of the defense, and than spoke
of Mr.. Reeds argument as lawyerlike and based
on the only law points which, with any plausi-
bihty. could be adduced by the defense. Of
Scovilles argument he said it could only have
been delivered by one of the family of Gui-
teau, who, as he had himself boosted, had
learned his law in the police courts, and
acquired his manners among hooting
owls in the woods of Western
Ohio. Mr.. Porter reviewed the argument
of Dir. Davidge, pointing out its strong points
" Malice, ?" Mr.. Dayidge had rghtfully said
was, In the presumption of law, a question
for the Judge, not the jury. Should the Judge
decide. as the defense desired, that malice was

turn the law. He would create precedent in
this famous case which would inevitably be
condemned through all time to come"

sIT is plain fact that the Demo
Gratis in Congress are making a bad
reccsa this year. They espoused the
cause of Cannon, the Mormon
Saint" deep dyed with crime, and
in this manner have in measure,
as party, recognized the crime of
polygamy as a privilege that should
not be disturbed, the same as
the party formerly espoused the
cause of the stakeholder and de.
Tended the crime of slavery. And
in standing by Chalmers they have
given countenance to the worst cleo
toral outrages of the South. This
they can hardly afford to do. Recent
events have shown Enthusiastically
that the people, as mass, are be
ginning to think of themselves and
act independently Of party dictation.
Bossism is on the wane, and moral
ity in the ascendant. Principle now
stands paramount to all party con.
siderations, morality to men. That
parry which, from a desire to "catch
the popular VOTE" winks at crime,
harbors immortality, and cherishes
open criminality, cannot long with
stand the wrath of an indignant
public and survive the wreck of
time, neither should it.
