THE FITZ JOHN PORTER CASE.
A Letter Written by Gen. Grant to Pres
ident Arthur on the Subject.

Gen. Grants letter to President Arthur on
the Fitz John Porter case.
New YORK, Dec. 90.
Dear sir-At the request of Gen. Fitz
John Porter, l have recently reviewed his
trial and the testimony furnished before the
Schofield court of inquiry held in 1879, Civ
ing to the subject three full days of careful
reading and consideration and much thought
in the intervening ti9e. The reading of the
whole of this record has thoroughly con-
WINGED me that for these nineteen years,
have been doing gallant and efficient soldier
very great injustice in thought and some-
times in speech. l feel it incumbent upon
me now to do whatever lies in my power to
remove from him and his family, the stain
upon his good name. l feel this more i'm
cumbent upon me than l should if had
been a corps commander only, or occupying
any other command in the army than the one
l did. but, as a general, l had it impossible
to have obtaiued for him the hearing which
he only got at a later day.
As President, certainly had the power
to have ordered that hearing. In justifica-
ton for my injustice to Gen. Porter, can
only state that shortly after the war closed,
his defence was brought to my attention, but
| reaa it in connection with the sketch of the
field where his offences were said to have
been committed, which now see, since per-
feet maps have been made by the engineers
department of the whole field. were totally
incorrect as showing the position of the two
armies. have read it in connection with
the statement made on the other side against
Gen. Porter, and l am afraid possibly with
some little prejudice in the case. Although
Gen. Porter was a man whom I personally
knew and liked before, but got
the impression, with many others,
that there was half-hearted
hearted support of Gen. Pope in his CAM
paign, and that Gen. Porter, while possibly
not more guilty than others, happened to be
placed in a position where he could be made
responsible for his Indifference, and that pun
ishment was not severe one for such an
officer. l am now convinced that he rendered
faithful. efficient and intelligent service, and
the fact that he was retained in command of
corps for months after his offences were
said to have been committed is in his favor.
What would ask, in Gen. Porter's behalf,
from you is. that if you can possibly give
time that you give the subject the same study
and thought have given it, and then act as
your Judgment may dictate. But feeling that
you will not have time for such investigation
(for it would take several days time) would
ask that the whole matter be laid before the
Attorney General for his examination and
opinion. Hoping that you will be able
to do this much for an officer who suf-
fered for nineteen years a punishment that
never should be inflicted upon any but the
most guilty.
remain very truly yours.

The following letter of Gen. Terry to Gen.
Porter was also submitted to the President ::
ST. PAUL, Aug. I6, 1879.
Dear General
Soon after the publication of the report O
the Schofeld board you wrote to me thankf
ing me, as one of the board, for our action in
your case. intended to reply to your let
ter at once, but just then Gen. Sheridan de-
desired me to accompany him on visit to
some points in my department and DELAYED
my reply until my return to ST. Paul, then in
the multitude of things to which had to at
tend. forgot to make it. l write now to
say that it is not thanks but pardon, which
should ask from you. For years l did your
wrong in thought, and sometimes wrong in
speech. Il is true this was through ignor.
ance, but had not the right to be ignorant.
l might have learned something at least of
truth had diligently sought it. If you find
anything in my action as member of the
board which you can accept as an atonement
for the wrong did you shall be more than
grateful. With great respect and admira-
tion.
am yours most sincerely,
ALFRED H. TERRY.

The court in the Guiteau trial has adj
journed until Saturday in order to give
the defence time to prepare the statement
Of law points which they desire to have
the Judge present to the jury. There will
be some argument on that day relative to
the instructions. but the arguments to
the jury on the evidence will not
be made until next week. 1t is
very likely that three or four days
will be consumed in this part Of the trial,
and II the case is given to the jury by
Thursday. it may be considered fair prog
ress. Doubtless the verdict will be rem.
dered before the end Of next week.

HOUSE.

After the reading Of the journal. Orth of
Indiana, rose a. question Of privilege. stat
ing that il grew out Of the matters affecting
the recent appointment Of committees. Be-
fore stating the question he said: 1T is my
purpose at an early day to introduce for con-
.ideration and action. a proposition to change
the method Of selecting the committees, as
the responsibility is too great to rest in the
hands Of single individual, however
capable and honest. As To the question of
privilege, he said he had been assigned to
three committees. namely, second place on
foreign affairs. second place on rules, and
chairman of the commiite on civil service
reform, and protested against these assign
ments, as an injustice to himself and his con-
stituents."
The members listened attentively and
Springer was upon his feet to enlarge upon
the theme, but was stopped by Robson, who
called for the regular order. Springer said
he should, therefore. take another occasion
to bring up the subject.
The speaker said the chair does not under
stand that il is necessary for him to indicate
himself by saying anything in reply. II
must not be inferred that the chair acquiesces
in the views taken by the gentleman.
Orth's request was granted. and he was ex-
cused from further services on the committee
on rules.
The regular order being called. the report
| Of the committees was dispensed with.
Resolutions were adopted thanking the
Khedive Of Egypt for the present of the
Obelisk.
The speaker stated that Hewitt Of New
York, requested to be relieved from service
on the committee on public buildings and
grounds, as his private business relations
were such that it might be improper for hin
to serve. Request granted.
