stating Porter, read an order from Grant
to Hurlbut directing him to make GER

understand it, it involved the loss of his
whole command; to which Grant re.
piled: Il am glad you comprehend my
order so accurately" Logan's point was
that Grant was not consistent In defend
ing Porter for disOdedience.

The Death Of the Postmaster.General.

The Hon. Timothy o. Howe, of Wis
consin, the Postmaster-Ge General in Pres
ident Arthur's Cabinet, who died at
Kenosha yesterday, has for many years
been conspicuous in public life. He was
a Circuit Judge in Wisconsin nine con-
secutive years, and then member of
the United States Senate for eighteen
years, during and subsequent to the war
of the rebellion. He was among the
staunchest supporters of the Admins
tration of President Lincoln in Con-
gress, and one of the most earnest au-
vocates of vigorous war measures to put
down the rebellion and against the sub
sequent policy of reconstruction of
Andrew johnson. As patriot, Judge
Howe was true to the core. By his
death the country loses one more of
that band of illustrious leaders who, by
their wisdom and patriotic devotion,
piloted the Republic in safety through
the most terrible crisis of its history
For over a quarter of century Judge
Howe has been conspicuous figure in
the history of Wisconsin politics. He
was originally Wing, imbued with all
the political ideas for which that party
was distinguished, but when that party
was disbanded in 1852, he took an act
i've part in the formation of the Repub-
lican organization. He always clung to
the conservative and moral side of
politics. When the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin enunciated the doctrine of
rights in the celebrated case
Of Booth and Rycraft, under the Fugi-
tive Slave act, Judge Howe took strong
ground against the decision of the court,
