1T has issued policies for indefinite
and contingent amounts.
1T has approved and recognized hs.
signments OF policies TO persons having
no lnsurable interest in the lines Of the
parties IN whose names said policies
were issued.
The Attorney General further gives
the court 10 understand and be inform.
ed that he, the said insurance commits.

said company is insolvent. and that it's
assets are not sufficient for carving on

In the case of Gen. Fitz John Por-
ter, the President decides that he has
no power to annul the sentence of the
court-martial-that he can do nothing
in the case as it is entirely beyond
his jurisdiction. This action, based
upon an elaborate opinion of the At
torney General, concurrcd in by the
Cabinet, settles the question so far as
the executive government is concerned.
The only hope now of justice being
done to this gallant and shamcfully
wronged soldier is in Congress. The
measure Of that justice should not be
made in pasimonious spirit nor de
layed an hour in its full and entire
accomplishment. This is due to Por
ter, but it is also due to the country
that the hasty, if not disgracefuI pro
ceeding, under which he has suffered
should receive a prompt and emphatic
correction, and the great wrong pub.
licly acknowledged.
