Final Passage Of the ritz John Porter Bill.

The bill for the relief of General Fitz John
Porter, passed the senate on Tuesday, after
speeches by Senators Henderson and Logan
against it, The vote was IS TO p The sena-
tors who voted for the passage of the bill were
all Democrats, except Hoar of Massachusetts,
Jones of Nevada Pike of New Hampshire, Rid
dleberger of Virginia, Sabln of Minnesota, and
Sewell of New Jersey.
During the vote the following pairs were an
nounced: Beck ave with Hale no; Cameron
(Wis.) ave with George no; Miller On. ~ no
with Camden aye; Plumb no with Vest aye;
SAWYER no with Kenna.
The preamble TO the Porter bill as passed
recites that
The board of office convened by the president
to examine and report upon the case OF Gen.
Porter, stated that justice required the president
to annul the findings and sentence OF the court
martial in Gen Porters case and restore him TO
the position of which the sentence deprived nm,
such restoration to take effect from the date OF
dismissal from the service; that the president
RENTED so much Of the sentence as disqual-
flied Gen. Porter from holding Office, and that
in order to do justice to Gen. Porter il was en-
acted, etc. The bill then authorizes the pres
ident by and with the advice and consent OF
the senate, to appoint Gen. Porter TO the po-
sition of colonel in the army, the same grade
and rank held by him at the time of his dis
missal, and authorizes the president in
his discretion TO place Gen. Porter
on the retired list of that grade; Gen Porter,
however, TO receive no compensation or allow
ance prior to his appointment under the act.
The bill as reported from the senate COM
mittee was amended BY striking out the provis-
ion for the restoration of Porter TO all tbs
rights. titles and privileges of the rank held By
him at the time of his dismissal from the army.
This is the amendment which necsssitates the
return of the bill TO the house.
1t is reported that possibly President Arthur
may veto the bill as there Is great pressure
on him 70 do so.

Satisfying the Kickers.

Last fall the stockholders of a certain
Western railroad were making such a
vigorous kick about the nOn-payment
of dividends, that the President felt his
position an embarrassing one. He
finally pluczed up courage and decided
on line of conduct The principal
kickers were informed that the outlook
was more cheerful than for years before,
and were invited to take a trip over the
line on a certain date.
At the time appointed large gang
were packed into the parlor cars and a
run of "a hundred miles was made. Din
ners, suppers and hotel bills were all
paid by the railroad company, and every
body came back perfectly satisfied.
"Why," said one, 81 counted over
twenty freight trains inside of sixty
miles"
"And every siding was full of them,
added a second.
"I tell You we are having all the freight
we can HANDLED" proudly exclaimed a
third, and that ended all further kicking
Itwas only the other day that any of
them learned that the President Dor
rowed 312 freight cars and had them
placed wnere they would do the most
good that day.

The New York Financial Chronicle
lets a good deal of the wind out of the
aIarmist reports regarding the payment
of high rates for the right to call gold
at premium during the current year.
1t SAYS so far as the bidding for the
privilege of calling gold at premium
is concerned, it may be dismissed as
merely sensational, intended for effect
upon the stock market, and to keep
alive an unsettled feeling in the com
munity. Although several bids have
been reported we hear of but one actual
transaction. and that was the payment
of one quarter of 1 per cent. to call
81 900 900 gold at 10l for the remainder
of the year. This, presumably, is the
bid which was announced by telegraph
in a very different shape. The dispatch
stated that parties in New York were
reported as bidding $50, 900 for the right
to call 81 100000 gold at 101 at any
time in twelve months As one-fourth
of per cent. is only 81 500, the amount
named in the telegram was a twenty-fold
multiplication of the real figures. Even
the actual payment was clear waste
of considerable sum of money, but
the reported price showed sheer lunacy.
There is not Il shadow of chance that
any person who buys might to call gold
at 4 premium during the present year
will ever have anything for his money
save the conviction that he invested it
very foolishly.
