own infallible position. The court,
however, took al opposite view, and
on its recommendation Porter was sum-
moned on the 23 of June as a defendant
before a court-martial of twelve cap
tains, with James Barron as President.
Richard S. Coke appeared as judge
advocate. Porter's instant objection to
him resulted in a rather whimsical
procedure. One of the judges disclaim-
ed his ability to decide whether such a
challenge should be permitted without
a legal opinion. The judge advocate
was therenpon called upon 10 furnish
such advice, which he naturally did in
favor of his own independent and im-
movable position.
The charges were two-fold. The
first accused Porter of disobedience and
conduct unbecoming an officer in that
''he did land on the island of Porto
Rico, in the dominions of his Catholic
Majesty, the King of Spain, and COM
mit divers acts OF hostility ia contra
vention of the Constitution, the laws Of
nations, and the governments instruc-
tiOns." The second charge was the di-
rect consequence of Porter's sincere bit
injudicious rage. and dealt with his be-
haviOr since his return. 1t accused
him of sending divers insulting letters
to the President and Secretary of the
Navy; of having published an incorrect
account of the proceedings of the court
of inquiry, with highly disrespectful
comments, and of having made public
various official communications, thus
'impairing the discipline of the service
and setting a most dangerous and per-
nicious example"

Platt anchored his boat in the harbor
and proceeded To the town in company
with three others, all being in private
dress. He found this first citizen, who
was profase in promises of assistance.
With him ne called on the Alcalde
and the captain of the port and de-
nanded reparation and restitution. At
first the lieu:enant's character was con-
ceded and his object of secrecy in ap-
pearing without his uniform recogniz-
ed. Later, however, after the first citi-
zen had talked apart with the officials,
there was a change. He was request-
ed to show his register, and, though
ne finally sent for his uniform aud
commission, was denounced roundly
,ls Il pirate and placed under arrest in a
filthy stronghold. At nightfall he was
curtiy dismissed, and returned to his
ship, without the stolen goods, and
amid the jeers and curses of the popG-
lace.
On November l. Porter arrived at
st. Thomas and received report of
this scurvy treatment. He acted at
once. Accompanied by the Beagle
and the Grampus, he sailed on the
John Adams for Foxardo. There he
sent a flag of truce to the town with
the message that if apology for the
treatment of Lieutenant Plat was not
made within one hour he would storm
the place. He then landed companies
of sailors and marines aggregating over
200 in number. These spiked two bat
teries where threatening preparations
were being made, and then proceeded
inland. \ mob OF native militia male
some show of force and for the moment
an engagement was imminent, when
the Alcalde and the Captain of the
Port appeared and rendered submis-
sion. They apologized for Platt's i'm
prisonment; they admitted that it was
wrongful, and promised that thereafter
American officers should be respected
and assisted. Then the troops march
ed back again, partaking of grog on
the shore at the expense of their late
antagonists.
Porter made due report of these pro-
ceedings to the Navy Department,
praising the conduct of his men and
expatiating on the good which this ex-
ample would produce. There is no
doubt that he believed he deserved
well of his country; there is no doubt
that the order which he received from
Southard recalling him to explain
''the extraordinary transactions at Fox
ardo," came with crushing force and
shock. Not for one instant did he re-
gard such treatment otherwise than as
an outrage. He hastened to Washing
ton, hot with indignation, all ablaze
with the fever of wounded honor, inn
patient of each moment that delayed
his vindication.
There were many such moments,
weary and maddening. The depart
ment seemed content to keep him on
waiting orders. The administration of
Monroe was just passing out. There
were other matters that could less con-
veniently await the administration Of
John Quincy Adams. But not for one
moment did Porter acquiesce in such
leisure. He wrote letters by the score,
entreating, beratiGg. He bombarded
the press with yoluminous commune
Gallons. If ever there was an old sea
dog i'm righteous rage, he was that
old sea dog.

1t amuses us to walk along the
streets and hear the men who are
grouped together, talking about
the Corbett-Fitzsmmons prize fight
It has come down to the point
now, that every man in town knew
that "Fit2" was a better man than
Corbett and all they ever doubted
was the fear that Fit2simmons
could not plant blow on Corbett,
The facts IN the case are that FIt2.
simmons hit Corbett over one hum
dred times, and that Corbett got
many more llCks on Fit25lmmons
than this, still neither was annihll-
ated, knocked down once, or seri'
ously hurt, and had not Corbett re-.
ceiyed the lick over the heart that
he did, he would have remained on
his feet aud the Cornishman much
longer,

KANSAS HEARD FROM.

There have been many things
happened in our own Legislature,
as well as assemblies in other states,
but Kansas, bleeding Kansas,
takes the cake. Representative Wal
ters, a Populist member, introduce
ed a bill last week, providing the for
incorporation of the ten command.
ments into the laws of the state,
1t is entitled "au act to give statu.
tory force to the ten command
ments," The bill starts out like
this:
"Whereas, The men of the pres
ent generation have become doubt
ors and scoilers; and
"Whoreas, They have strayed
from the religion of their fathers;
and
Whereas, They no longer live in
the fear of God; and
Whereas, Having no fear Of
punishment beyond the grave, they
wantonly violate the law given to
the world from Mount Sinai;
therefore, BE it enacted by the
legislature of the state of Kansas"
Then follow the ten command
ments, each being a section of the
proposed law The judiciary com
mittee will report the bill fayora-
bly,.
We always thought than Kansas
was included in the commandments
when they were handed down to us
by the Divine Law GiyeT but we
see now we were mistaken
AS the Kansas Legislature Is
composed principally of Populists,
who have hair on their teeth, it is
safe TO say the ten commandments
will be made a law, and even Mary
Ellen Lease will come in for "hon-
or" from her own "household,' and
Glove" from her "heighbors,"
