years earlier served In the United

tatives in that body OF the state OF
Alabama
| knew Senator Spencer to be a
very warm personal friend OF General
Logan as well as a great admirer OF

Senator Spencer about the extraor-

was AFFLICTED with that malady, suf-

When Il was announced that Cen
eral John A. Logan. Senator from
Illinois. would oppose the resolution
before the senate authorizing the re-
opening OF the case OF General F1tz-
John Porter everybody In Washington
who was familiar with the views OF
General Logan held upon the appro-
priRteness OF the conviction OF Cen
eral Porter by court-mardal and the
sentence OF him by the same author
lily to be shot was convinced that
General Logan would make a speech
well worth hearing. But for the In
terposition OF Abraham Lincoln Gen
eral Porter would have been shot by
sentence Of the court martial upon
his conviction of charges OF treachery
and disloyalty To General Pope In the
second battle OF Bull Run.
General Porters friends always In
sisted that he had been unjustly
treated and that there was abundant
evidence TO show that he was not
guilty OF the charges preferred
against him. I met General Porter
in 1873 and had an hours converse
ton with him. realized that he was
then suffering keenly from what
he believed 10 be an unfair and un-
just trial and conviction His friends
introduced q resolution into the Sen
ate calling for the reopening OF the
case. Subsequently General Grant
published and article I'm which he
stated that a careful reading OF the
evidence satisfied him that General
Porter had bcen Improperly convict
ed and was not guilty OF the charge
of treachery and disloyalty TO his
commanding officer Everyone recog
nized the moral heroism which char
Acterized General Grants action
/ Even General Logan referred to Gen
eral Grants article as perfect dem
onstration OF tho nobility OF char.
acter and the moral courage which
were. I'm his opinion. chief among the
great qualities OF General Grant
| General Logan's statements were al
the more effective in view OF the fact
that he did not agree with General
Grant.
The galleries OF the Senate chamber
were packed when General Logan be
gan his speech IN opposition to the
resolution. He was himself n mag
/ nificeut physical type OF sturdy. some
what rough and unconventional
American citizen. Mrs. Logan sat IN
the gallery watching him attentively
He occupied the center aisle almost
all OF the time. going back occasion
