Fitz John Porter.
New YORK, May 9th.-It is expected that
Eitz John Porter's case will not be brought
| up for consideration at this session of Con-
gress. The programme is understood to be
to get report, favorable or otherwise, from
the Military Committee of both houses at
this session, and then endesvor to have bill
pushed through at the first opportunity next
session. Senator Logan will be back in a
few days, and as the Senate bill is referred to
the committee of which he is Chairman, be
will be likely to have something to say about
it. General Porter it is understood, will use
the argument with Republicans that the bill
is o Republican measure, inasmuch as Cen
eral Grant approved it and President Arthur
has done as much as the law would permit
him to do TO secure Porter's restoration to the
army.
