THE PORTER CASE.

Tho confirmation of General Pope As
Major General, by the senate ycstcr-
day, without a contest, looks as if the
senate would like TO be on good terms
with the president. 1t is pretty certain
that President Arthur is opposed to the
restoration of Gen. Fitz John Porter 10
his former rank in the army, by re-
moving the disabilities which I parti-
san and prejudiced court martial plac-
ed upon him at the inStigation of Gen.
Pope. General Grant believes General
Porter entirely blamclcss of all the
charges Gen. Pope brought against
him, He wrote to President Arthur to
that effect last year, and asked him to
take some steps to have General Porter
righted. Arthur paid no attention to
Grants recommendation, because Sen
ator Logan sides with General Pope
against General Porter. Ii was thought
that General Grants recent article in
the North American Review, CNoncr-
ating General Porter, would have the
effect of bringing about an understand
ing in the case, and that Portcr's
friends in the senate would insist on
having Justice done him or refuse to
confirm the presidents nomination OF
Pope to the vacant maj -gcneralshtp.
The democrats in the senate are unit
in the belief that Porter's politics has
heretofore had a good deal to do with
the treatment he so .unj justly received
at the hands Of Il radical courtmartial
and afterwards by the republican adj
ministrations. The hasty confirmation
OF Gen. Pope yesterday may have been

TIRE RETIRED MAINE STATESMAN

Commenting on the annual message
of President Arthur, the New York
Sun thus accomplishes the discontinue
of ex-Speaker Blaine:
There lives in the State of Maine a
retired statesman who will be particu-
larly interested in that part of the mes
sage which gently lays away to rest the
South American policy of the Blaine
Garfield Administration. The Presi-
dent deplores the troubles between
Chill and Peru and Bolivia, but does
not see how we can interfere any fur
ther without plunging into measures
which would be "in keeping neither
with the temper of our people nor the
spirit OF our institutions" Mr..
Blaine's wonderful Peace Congress does
not survive the other details of the
guano policy. Last April the Presi-
dent turned over to Congress the whole
subject of the proposed convention of
representatives of the American repub-
lies. "This action" he says, "was
prompted in part by doubts which ma
ture reflection had suggested whether
the diplomatic usage and tradition of
the Government did not make it fit
ting that the Executive should consult
the representatives of the people be-
fore pursuing q line of policy some
what novel in its character and far.
reaching in its possible results
Whether the irony of this passage is
conscious or unconscious, it will be full
Iy appreciated by Mr.. Blaine.

THE ETRANSIT OF VENUS.

The Naval Observatory people are
highly pleased with the prospective
results of the observations of the tran
sit of Venus. The indications are that
the observations have been such that
they may add materially to the infor.
nation of the scientists.
Nothing definite, however, can be
known for a long time as to how these
observations compare with those of
other occasions in determining the paral'
lax. Many points of interest have
been, however, brought Immediately
TO the surface by the transit.
The presence of water in tho atmos-
phere of Venus is confirmed by many
of the observers, and the probable den
sity of the atmosphere itself is indica-
ted by the extent and brightness of the
ring of light that encircled the planet
at the second and fourth contacts.
New interest and new mystery are
created by the discovery of spots of
light on the surface of the planet, not
in any way recognized before, and not
at all accounted for. The results of the
observation as to the distance of the
sun from the earth, will not be fully
determined for couple of years or
more, for it is very slow operation
and one which requires great accuracy.

CARLISLE AS A CANDIDATE.
Especial to Tho Times Democrat

Especial to The Times sDomocrat.7
WASIIINCTON, Dec. 11.--Mr. Car
isle has at last broken silence, and
plainly announced that he is candi-
date for Speaker of the next House.
Until now he has been very careful
about discussing this matter, because
he did not think the time had come for
opening the Speakership contest. The
friends of the various candidates, how
ever, are urging the claims of thei +
fav orites, and no doubt Mr.. Carlisle
felt it due to his friends to announce
his position. He said to-day that he
regretted that the contest had begun SO
early, but that he was now in the race
suit was reached.
Speaking of Mr.. Biackburn's candi-
dacy, he said that Mr.. Blackburn had
just as good right to be a candidate as
he had, and that he had no complaints
to make on that score. 1t had been as
serted, he said, that his views relative
to the Improvement of the Mississippi
river would injure him with tie
friends of that great work. He thought
this statement rather premature. The
Improvement of the Mississippi, he
said, was now being considered by a
select Congressional committee, of
which he was member, and when
the issues We're presented he should
vote as his best judgment dictated. On
this point he said:
"I shall certainly not allow my can
uidacy for the Speakership to have the
slightest weight with my voice and
vote upon Legislative matters. l can
afford to lose the Speakership, but 1
cannot afford to smother my sentiments

When the Congress ions.l Committee

port, lying between the Jettics on board
of the steamer Sunbeam, the great
English steamer Carmona passed in
from the gulf, and was especially a
surprise to the Western members on
account of her immense length and
size. That large vessel has since passed
through the Jettics, carrying the largest
cargo of cotton ever shipped from any
port. In addition to her 10,3Sl bales
of cotton she carried 10000 bushels of
wheat and other freight, which made
her cargo equal to over 1900 bales,
and its value half a million of dollars.

The New SWindle which Scoop.
cd n Michigan Bank.

This is about the way 1T is worked /:
A respectfully dressed stranger steps
into O bank, draws check for 5000,
$500 or $500 from a check-book taken
from his own pocket, bearing the name
of distant bank that never had an
existence, and asks the banker to for
ward it for him and collect. The
banker NAV be foolish enough to send
the check to the bank upon which it is
drawn, and if he does "the man at the
other end" wherever the supposed
bank is located, returns draft on New
York for the amount, which of course,
is worthless Swindler No. calls for
it in day or two and it is handed to
him, but he requests to have the cur
rency, less exchange and any other
charges, as he desires to use the
money Immediately. The banker
readily accommodates him, and does
not find that he is swindled until he
hears from the New York bank
This game was played upon three
banks in this city, few days since,
but only in one case was it successful,
that of the Jackson county bank, which
cashed the bogus check of $3.50. The
others took the precautlon to send the
check to q well known bank, and of
course received an answer that no such
bank as the check was drawn on exist
ed and the thing was a swindle. The
chance Of the swindlers TO realize, of
course, lies in the event of the first
check being sent direct to the imagin-
ary bank upon which it is drawn.
The men who worked the scheme here
registered at Van Dusen's Transient
hotel, near the depot, as Charles Gray
and Hiram Smith. They left immed.
lately on getting their bogus draft
cashed, and no clue to them has yet
been Standardization Citizen.
