FITZ JOHN PORTER.
NO CHANCE FOR HIS RELIEF In
THE HOUSE.

A Cabinet Vendetta-Hayes Slapped In
the Face-The Actual and Ostensible
Grounds of Hostility to the Soldier
Arthur Unwilling to Appear as Grants
Puppet.
w NAsHINGToN, Jan. 12.-It is pretty
safe to predict that the Fitz John Porter
bill will not pass the House. 1t is also
safe to say that no bill for
the relief of Porter will become
law while Al thur is President. The
Cabinet has fully discussed the matter
and decided that if the bill for the relief
of Porter should be sent to the White
House, it will be vetoed. Only Freling-
huysen and Folger favor Porter. FIRE.
Hnghuysen favOrs him because he is from
the same State, and FOlger supports him
out of general good nature. The whole
Cabinet, however. unite in pronouncing
that the Schotield board of inquiry was
not warranted under the law. Thus is
Hayes, who organized that court, slapped
in the face.
A member of the Cabinet said to-day
that what the SchOfeld board did was
worthy of no more notice than sidewalk
gossip, because it had no authority. He
said further that the views of the Presi-
dent and Cabinet were generally in con-
Logan. All members Of the Cabinet had
read and considered the evidence in the
case. There had been no snap judgment.
1t can be stated, ON the best authority,
that one reason for the decision of Arthur
and his advisers is of political charac-
ter. They say that party lines were, with
one or two exceptions, clearly drawn and
defined. They pretend to regard the
action of the Senate as showing
that the same old spirit of hos
tility to the government in trying
to undo what the war has done is what
joined together Northern Democrats and
Southern Senators in dealing with the
Porter case. They pretend to think that to
restore Porter is a step that will open the
doors for the relief of other men, who were
guilty as army officers during the late
war, of misdemeanOrs.
There is another reason for Arthur's
course. He wants the country to under
stand fully that he is not under the domi-
nation of Grant. He wants to show that
there is no ring i'll his nose the handle of
which is in the hand OF Grant.

Ex-Congressman w. S. Stenger, of
Chambersburg, who is conceded to be the
coming Secretary Of State of ofPennsylvania,
expresses the opinion that the late No
vember election was the first at which the
people have amply demonstrated the fact
that their political action cannot be longer
controlled by an appeal to their preiudices.
He regards the result of the November
election as a substantial Democratic
success, unless that party makes much
more serious mistakes than he believes
possible. His conclusion is that this
election has put the Democracy
a long way further forward than Il
has been for the last twenty years. 1t
called into use fresh men and new efforts,
and, besides winning victory, has placed
itself abreast the age. Mr. Stenger has
no doubt of Democratic victory in the
Presidential campaign of 1884, YET he con-
cedes that something will depend upon
what use it makes of the power already in
its hands,"

Soothing the QuaIms of Murderer's
Conscience.
BELLEvILLE, ILL, Jan. 12.-Philip Mat
thews, aged twenty, was hanged at noon
to-day for the murder of Annie Grier OF
May 2Stn. The execution took place in
the Jail in the presence of about fifty per-
sons. Matthews was attended by thirty
five ministers. He conducted himself OH
the scaffold with great firmness, bid
ding goodbye to all in clear,
strong voice. Although. the drop was
nearly eight feet, his neck
was not broken, and it was more than
twenty minutes before the physicians de-
cided that he was dead. Matthews was a
young man, desperately in love with Miss
Grier,. to whom at one time he was en-
gagged; but he BECAME dissipated and was
discarded, and because the lady would
not renew the engagement with him he
shot her.

the company discovered that he had gone

to the Florida Keys. 1t is not yet known
whether his accounts are correct, but the
manner of his disappearance led the COM
