The Fit John Porter Veto.

The veto of the Fitz John Porter bill
was not unexpected. 1t is said that the
President favored the bill, and that he
was supported by two members of his
Enthusiastically Frelinghuysen and
Attorney General Brewster-but that all
the other members Of the Cabinet opposed
it and urged the President to veto it. 1t
is also said that Senator Logan brought
all the influence he could CON-
mand to bear on the President
against the bill. Doubtless he and
other leading Republicans argued that
if the bill became law with the con-
sent or by the act of the President
the Republican party would be injured.
The House Immediately passed the bill
over the veto, but it is by no means GER
tain that the Senate will indOrse the action
of the House. The bill originally passed
the House by more than twO-thirds ma
jority. In the Senate, however, the vote
stood SO for to % against the bill. 1t may
be that Gen. POrter's friends will be able
to secure enough votes to make the two
thirds majority, but that is rather doubt
full. If they fail, Gen. Porter VIII
have to begin at the beginning again and
work his bill through both houses of Con-
gress, but ne will occupy a much better
position than he did when he first
undertook, years ago, to secure from
Congress the justice which a military
tribunal denied him. Then he had few
friends, aud almost the whole country
was against him. The impression that
he had been justly condemned was gen.
eral. Now the truth is known. He has
many powerful friends to aid him. The
belief that he is innocent Of the charges
on which he was convicted is widespread,
and is shared by many of those who at
one time were among his bitterest OPP
pOnents. Next winter bill for
his relief will pass without much
opposition, and the political reasons that
secured the veto of the present
bill being no longer in existence, the Pres
ident, perhaps, will sign it. II he does
not Fitz John Porter can look with con-
hdence to the next Congress and the next
administration for his vindication. 1t is
about certain that there will be no political
reasons which will prevent the next adj
ministratiOn from doing him justice.

A Word About Butler.

There doesn't appear to be any reason
for seriously discussing Butler as a Presi-
Dental candidate, but he keeps bobbing
up every once in a while in rather mys-
terious and annoying sort of way. Our
special from New York, published Tues
day, gave what purported to be an under
standing between representative Demo
Gratis, which had for its object the nOmi-
nation of Butler at Chicago.
Tuesdays New York Journal gives addi-
tional details of the alleged understand
ing. 1t is hardly probable, however, that
there has been any understanding, cOmbi-
nation or anything else to assist Butler In
capturing the Democratic nomination.
He undoubtedly would like to have the
nomination, but it may be considered as
settled that he has all the nominations
that he will get this year. Even If he
should be named in the convention 1t is
not possible to see where he would get
any support outside of Massachusetts,.
He certainly wouldn't get any help from
the South. Indeed, it is doubt
full if the South would vote
for him if nominated. 1t
would be folly to attempt to elect DEM
cratic President without the SOuth's as
sistance. While the South is willing to
let the North lead in making the ticket it
isn't willing to be lead towards Butler.
But while Butler will not be the Demo-
cratic candidate, he will play, probably,
an important part in the campaign. He
is the Presidential candidate of several
organizations which combined, have con-
siderable voting strength. These organi-
cations, if handled with skill, and sup
piled with sufficient campaign funds may
influence the result of the contest.
