IT seems that titz John Porter has
another gauntlet to run before having
his past military record whltewashed and
attaining the retired list, even if President
Arthur does sign the bill. 1t appears
that the order restoring HIM will have to
be signed by the secretary Of war, and
Robt. Lincoln who fills that position is
reported to have declared that he will
resign before he will sign such decu.
ment. President Lincoln, who closely
read the evidence in the case at the time
of the trial of Porter not only as COM
mander-in-chief approved the sentence
of the cour: martial but in a private let
ter to bis old friend Leonard SWEET, of
Chicago, said ~ have carefully read the
evidence in the case of Gen. Porter and
l am convinced that he IS traitor and
ought to be hung" President Lincoln
was Of q nature to give any accused per-
son the benefit of doubt, and his ap-
proval of the sentence and strong Ian
guage as quoted above seems to indicate
that 1t was clear case to his mind. The
democratic press has charged Senator
Logan with malice and all kinds Of un-
worthy motives in opposing the bill for
the whitewashiDg of Porter, but he is
only taking the same view of the case
that President Lincoln did, IN which he
is sustained by four-fifths of his party
colleagues in the senate.

THE investigation now being made into
the shot gun argument used by dem
ocrats in carrying the election IN Coplah
county, Miss, develops condition of af
fairs little known or believed in the
moth. The ready and ridiculing answer
made to these charges by the democratic
organs in the north is that these stories
are the product of the ''southern outrage
mill'' operated by the republican party
for political effect, but while they may be
magnified and exaggerated hy republican
speakers in some instances they are too
solldly based on facts 10 be refuted by
subterfugc. l, is notorious fact that in
many localities in the south elections are
farce and burlesque upon free bal
lot. The country is in control Of the
bourbon mossbacks and confederates who
few years ago fought for the establish
ment of government, the chief corner
stone of which was slavery, and that old
political belief and doctrine born and bred
In the bone is still dominant and assert
ing itself Anything to oppose the 'tlam-
nigger'' and the exercise OF his political
and equal rights seems to be the ultima
thule Of southern democratic principle,
and If they cannot down the nigger by the
ballot they will do it with the bullet
We do not believe the rank aud file OF
northern democracy endorse any such
measures. On the other hand we believe
they would emEhaticaDly condemn them
but for tile demagogues Of the party who
deceive them into the belief that these
stories are only elect,oneerlng schemes.

are the highest that have been for years
and the distress and devastation threaten
to be greater than ever before. Appeals
are being telegraphed to congress from

houses Especially in summer) and an assoeia- ton of iats and those who can do so take g step further, and roam about in Europe, Africa, and Florida. The confessed advan- ta9e of boarding house and fiat is that you
 can leave it any time and start on your wan- Indian needs in striking his wigwam, or & Tartar in saddling his horse.
 Comparatively few as yet of the very high ly civilized can put themselves on this abso-
 lutely nomadic basis; but once year every body must join in this movement in some way. This is not the dictate of fashion. but the demand of health. Our puny ancestors used tC stay at home all the year round, ex- cept for an occasional family visit, or a mod- est week or two at some mineral spring, or 8 sojourn in the neighborhood of an oyster
 bed. But nobody can live now without an
 absolute change of air and scene at least
 twice year. Even iR New England, where
 there is @ change of air every twenty-four
 hours, and if one will only stay still he will
 get in the course of the year as many differ
 ent climates as any human system can digest,
 there is @ semi miannusl frenzy for going away from home. Those who have pleasant homes get weary of the routine of comfortable ex- istence and the accommodating burden of an exhaustive modern housekeeping, and long for the mesgre accommodations of a gigantic boarding house in some vast wilderness, or in some csravanssry by the sea. It is the communal instinct breaking out again. There are those who say that this is owing to the malaria, that people need Co change the kind of mala- ria, the city sort for the country sort, the seaside kind for the mountain, and 50 on. But malaria, which is now nearly co-extensive. and getting to be thought synonymous with civilization, is not the moving cause. It is the nervous system, which is in the process of evolution round to the old condition in which a man could not keep still. It must be that health demands again an approach to the nomadic state. There are hundred diseases
 which wealth allows us to cultivate, besides
 malaria, that demand 8 summer and winter change.

 The great question of the annual migration is upon us. The cyclic philosophers, ifthere are any, know that civilization moves in a circle, and that the freedom of emancipsted culture comes round to the freedom of bar- barrie life. Originally nomsdic, we rove about until circumstances and the accumula- ton of our possessions compel us to settle down and take root in one place. Then the process of evolution goes on as wealth and uneasiness and dissatisfaction (which are names for modern culture) increase until we become again in our desires nomadie. The cyclic philosopher. if he exists, says that the instinct for 8 fixed home is middle class'' instinct. The tramps like to roam, and the "high-classes'' like also to roam, and to have many places of temporary residence. As we all belong to the higher class in this country, we all like to move about, snd we do move according to our several abilities. If you understand the process of evolution on this continent, it was from the nomads to the dwelIers in communal houses and villages like the Pueblos, and then to the possession of seperste homes; or, as the Indian philan thropist says now, to the holding of lands in severalty. As we become more highly de veloped and prosperous, we go back to sor of communal existence in gigantic boarding
