been leading opponent OF Porter. He is
the principal advocate of the bill to put
Grant on the retired list. 1t will be diff
cult, if not impossible, for him to continue
his opposition to Porter In view of Grants
change of front. The recently published
opinion of John c. Raper, of Boston, in
his work on General Pope's campaign, in
favor OF Porter, has good deal of infiu-
ence. There is little reason to doubt
that Generals Grant and Porter will now
both be placed on the army retired list.
The friends of Fitz John Porter are very
much elated by the frank avowal of Grant
that Porter has been wronged and ought
to be yindicated. They expect to get a bill
for Porter's reinstatement through this
congress now without much difficulty. A
prominent republican said tonight that
Grants change of opinion would not in
fluence Logan to reverse his judgment and
favor bill to reinstate Porter He said
Logan may out of respect for Grant re-
main silent, but will not vote for such
bill A leading democratic Senator said
tonight that he took no stock in the the
ory that Grant was manoeuvrlng to catch
democratic votes in favor of the bill for
placing his own name on the army retired
list. He said he knew Grant to be very
candid man, and one to really make an ac
acknowledgement if he discovered himself to
be in error; that having recently studied
the case, for the first time Grant reached
the conclusion that his previous opinion
had been wrong. and frankly said so. The
Senator added that in his opinion the bill
to retire Grant win pass, as several demo
cratic Senators will vote for it. ANY bill
to simply reinstate Porter will receive the
support of all democrats in Congress, but
should 1t propose to reimburse him in the
shape of back pay it will meet strong OPP
position from the democrats.

INDIAN AGENTS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The secretary of
the interior has prepared letter of instruc
ton TO Indian agents regarding the en-
ployment of military and the prosecution
of criminals. He instructs agents that they
have power to put intruders off reserva-
tions and may call out the military to as
sist. not as posse comitatus, but simply
as force to enable the agent to carry out
his authority This, probably, is pre-
caution against the invasion of the Indian
Territory by persons who have in view
settlement on these lands. Agents are in
structed also that they may arrest crimi
nails who have escaped from the states OF
territories, but they must notify the civil
authorities of the state or territory from
which the captured criminal has escaped,
and at what time and place they viii be de
livered to such authorities.

CONGRESS-.
ORTIZ OBJECTS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-0rth rose to a
question Of privilege, and said he intended
early to introduce bill for q change in
the method of selecting committees He
alluded TO the vast interests involved, and
said the responsibility Of forming commit
tees was too great for one man, however
capable and honest, and, as now exercised,
was dangerous oRe-man power, and may
sometime be used to the detriment of the
best interests of the people. He said to
the speaker he had been kindly assigned to
the second place on the committee on
Foreign Affairs, and second on Rules and
chairman of the civil service committee,
This was his seventh term here.
He was the Oldest member except
two. He had served during that
time on the committee on private land
claims, on the committee on ways and
means and for ten years en- foreign affairs,
part of the time as its chairman. He was
the only republican member who, previous
to this session, had served as chairman on
any committee of this house
He therefore submitted that the speakers
recent action had done him injustice and
therefore necessarily to his constituents
who feel pride in recognition of their rep
resentatiye, especially where custom and
precedent required such recognition.
There is however no remedy except this
protest for himself and constituents and for
apparent reasons. He asked to be excused
from service ON the Committee Of Rules"
Springer said he would in future offer
suggestions as to the method Of appoint
ment.
The chair refused to vindicate himself,
but didn't acquiesce in Orth's statements.
Orth was excused from the Committee on
rules. Call of committees was dispensed
