Porter Porter had been tried and con-
demned. This was trial of Abraham
Lincoln, of James A. Garfield and of many
brave and distinguished officers. Logan
asserted that Porter was the cause of the
first Bull Run defeat, by persuading Patter-
son to retreat from Winchester with 10000
men. "As God is my judge" said he, " |
would stand over the dust of Lincoln, and
swear by all the gods to his act as being
an honest and just one" Logan had
pride in the army and in its glory,
and before he would drag into the dust
the name of Abraham Lincoln for the
sake of this criminal, he would let his
tongue and his arm become palsied. Yet,
Republican Senators here were willing to
vote to give So, 900 a year to man who was
traitor to his commander. So, if men
wanted to be paid literally by the United
States, they had only to be- treacherous
when they should be true. If you are
are vetoed" That" said Logan, is a
strange thing to take place in this coun-
try"
Several amendments were offered and
rejected, and the bill was then brought to a
vote and passed-yeas 80, nays II.
The bill having already passed the
House, and not having been amended by
the Senate, now goes to the President for
his signature.
The Senate adjourned until Monday.
