Fitz John Porter.
To Us Editor of Me Dispdtch .

To the Edf0r or Me Dtspdtch'
Who is Fitz John Porter. and what was
his position during the civil war, and why
was he debarred from voting, and by what
means was he again allowed the right to
vote?
Major-General Fitz John Porter. United
States army, was tried on the 9th of No
vember, 1862, by court-martial and con-
7icted. This was done under Major Gen.
eral HaIleck, general-in-chief of the armies
OF the United States.
The charges we're of violating the ninth
and fifty-second Articles of War. He was
sentenced to be cashered and to be forever
disqualified from holding any Office under
the Government of the United States.
This sentence was approved by the Presi-
dent. He never was deprived of the right
to vote. Congress, on February Is, 1886,
removed his disabilities by vote of III
yeas to 11S nays.

Title of Goods.

SUFFOLK, VA.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Some time in February or March, 1890,
you published. as have been informed,
the Attorney Generals construction OF
the act to amend section 2462 OF the Code
of Virginia in regard to the title of goods,
&C., chapter 1876. The act was approved
February %, 1890. Will you please repuo-
lish that construction The law has been
construed differently by different clerks.
A. 2. G.
The question propounded by A z. e.
was answered June 2s. 1890, by the Attor-
ney-General in letter to the clerk of
Greenesville county. and July 6. 1891. in
letter to the clerk of the Corporation
Court of Danville, as follows:
In reply to your letter of the 25th in
slant say that in my opinion the amend
ment to section 2462n by the Legislature
acts 1SS9-'90. page 1857 is simply regis,
try law applicable to the class OF chsttel
sales therein mentioned. Further, the
chattel contract required by this statute
to be recorded in terms and legal effect IS
"a chattel mortgage" and. therefore. to
be taxed as mortgage in conformity with
the law to be found upon page 203, section
10, Acts. 1889'90."

Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation.

To he Editor of the PtsDotch:
Will the DISPATCH, the great arbiter Of
disputed questions, be pleased to give me
the month and the year of President Lin
coins emancipation proclamation, and
when did it go into effect? Some here
hold that it was issued in the fall Of 1868
to become operative on the LIST day of the
following January.
On September az, 1862, President Lincoln
issued his emancipation proclamation
"That on the LIST day of January, in the
year of our Lord 1868. all persons held as
slaves within any State or designated part
of State. the people whereof shall then
be in rebellion against the United States,
shall be then, thenceforward, and forever,
free"
He also said that on the LIST day of Janu-
airy aforesaid he would by proclamation
designate the States and parts of States
then in rebellion.
1t was not until some time afterwards
that the proclamation was approved by
Congress.
