AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
PROBABLE PARDON OF GENERAL PORTER.
zon rIrr

fBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBUSE.i
WASHINGTON, May 5.-It Is reported by the
friends Of General Fitz John Porter that the Pres
dent will pardon HIM, and that the papers have
already been prepared If indeed they have not been
delivered. The pardon, it is said will be simply
remission Of the remainder of the sentence of the
court martial, or in other words. removal Of Gen.
eral Porters disability to hold commission in the
Army.
This is done upon the ground that the evidence
brought to the Presidents attention Is sufficient to
warrant doubt in the case though it apparently
not strong enough to create positive belief IN the
Presidents mind that General Porter was innocent
of the charges brought against him. IL will be re-
membered that one OF the strongest points made by
Senator Logan and others against General Porter
when his case was before the Senate was the con-
stituonal incompetency of Congress to reverse the
findings of a court martial, the parioning power
having been vested in tls Executive branch Of the
Government alone President Arthur seems TO have
determined simply to remove this obstacle from
General Porter's path without accompanying the
act with any recommendation 10 Congress or even
any expression of his wishes or opinion IN tho
matter.
