The minority report of the House
Committee on Military Affairs on the bill for
the relief of Fitz John Porter was laid before
the House last week. The minority says The
only tenable ground on which the report can
be sustained and finding of the court-martial
reversed is that the court wickedly, corruptly,
and maliciously conspired to sacrifice Porter
to save Pope from the olium OF de-
feat, and il would be bold man
who afiirms that proposition. The minority
argues that the bill is unconstitutional mas
much as it is a usurpation by Congress of the
functions of the coordinate branches of the
Government They say that if the bill does
not nominate Porter to Office il is an absolute
nullity II it does nominate him. IL is an in
vasion of the executive prerogative. Ii Is adj
vice or law If advice il is useless, and if law
it is usurpaton II the court-martial erred,

The President listened ate ntively to the dele
CATION for an hour. Senator Hdgerton did most
Of the talking. After reciting the steps taken by
the Territory which resulted in the meeting Of
the constitutional convention he said:
1t has been said that there was no authority
for calling fhe constitutional convention: IN
other words that the law enacted by the Ieris-
lature is without authority and consequently
void. L VIII not examine the question ma TO
whether the organic act passed by Congress in
vesting the Legislature with the power to legis-
late upon all rightful subjects of legislation not
prohibited by that act gave the Territorial
Legislature power to provide by law for con-
sttutonal convention or not. That is not neces-
sary for our present purpose When statutes are
silent presidents make law. While the Con-
sttution OF the United States provides that
Congress shall have power to admit new States
1t nowhere provides, in direct terms or by inn
plication what steps shall be taken to bring
the matter Of admission OF a new State TO the
attention of Congress- or how or with whom the
first steps shall be initiated. Precedents have
varied in many instances. Congress has initi-
ated proceedings by providing for n convention
in other cases aDi not few conventions have
assembled by authority OF the people Of the Ter
ritery."
