FITZ JOHN PORTER.
The Effect of the Grant Retirement on
the Old General.


WASHINGTON, January l6.-"If the Grant
retirement bill does not become law by the
default Of President Arthur / should think
that the executive would feel pretty small,
said General Rosecrans to-day. "Why do
youY' was asked. "Why it looks as though
the House would finally pass the original
bill and force the Senate to back down, as
usual, from its position. If it becomes ap-
parent that the Edmunds' bill cannot be
passed in the House, and the bill passed at
the last session by the Senate, which names
General Grant for retirement, is adopted IN
the latter body, it will be permitted to be,
come law by the failure of the President to
sign it, after ten days. This is to maintain
the dignity of the President on the Fltz
John Porter bill" 'What effect will the
passage of the Grant bill have upon the
case of Porter?" "0h! it will almost in
sure-in fact it will insure-the passage of
a bill restoring General Porter to the rolls
of the army. | think that will be one OF
the first acts of the next Congress. The
Democratic party is willing guess, to as
sumo all of the responsibility now, as Mr.
Cleveland will sign the bill.

not ofthe people. 1t had been foughtat irst
BY the natural heroism Of the Young men
and was kept going by State and sectional
pride. But he was Of q hopeful disposition
and trusted that Gen. Lee, a great man,
with the remnant Of the best army on earth,
might yet succeed. Duty called him { Vance,
