More than one-half of the pensionois on
the'rolls receive from the Government less
than one hundred dollars per annum, and a
very large proportion less than fifty dollars a
year. There Is another large class that receives
from one hundred to two hundred and sixteen
dollars each, and only about twelve hundred
get over $300. The pensions range from
twelve dollars to 1861 per annum, the latter
sum being paid to eleven pensioners "totally
disabled." The list is continually decreas
ing by deaths, by the marriage of widows,
sad by minor children coming of age ; but
increases in rates and additions to the rolls
prevent a reduction in the amounts expend'

children will all be of age, and then, it is to

The Empress of Austria was filled with
wonder on meeting with Mr. Kavanagh, M.
P. for County Cariow, with the Kildare
hounds. He was born without legs or arms.
Id place of legs he has six Inches of muscu
lar thigh stumps, one being about an Inch
shorter than its fellow; while his arms are
dwarfed to perhaps four Inche of the up
per portion of these members, and are un
furnished with any termination approaching
to hands.-' Yet he is a beautiful caligrapbist
dashing huntsman, an artistic draughts
man, an unerring shot, an expert yachts
man, and drives four-in-hand. In writing
he holds the pen or pencil in his mouth and
guides its course by the arm stump, which
re sufficiently lone to meet across the chest,
When hunting he sits in a kind of saddle
basket, and his reins are managed with sur
prising expertnesa and ease.

Among the many beautiful things that
Joe Blackburn said in bis speech on Thurs
day, none was more powerfully said than
that which referred to tho attitude of the
President of the United States in his vole
upon thn impeachment resolutions of An
drew Johnson. In ono of the grandest
flights he made he alluded to Mr. Gaiiiud
as favoring the impeachment of that "great
commoner," and added that voting side by
side with Mr. Garfield then was one com
paratively obscure, and who, but for a com
blnation of accidents, would have remained
to this day, and to his dying day, in that
obscurity for which nature and hia Creator
seemed so designedly to have fitted him ;
that side by side with the gentleman from
Ohio stood and voted Rutherford B. Uayes.
At this point the galleries and the floor
burst into storm of applause, and I thought
It was the most humiliating spectacle that I
ever saw, when every one, regaidless of

that the chief of this great nation is an
Imbecile. Ex.

tlce to a brave soldier done in the beat of
party strife, continued alter its true nature

In its report, gives a clear and connected
narrative of the events on which tho con
demnatfon of General Porter's conduct was
based, which wholly exculpates him, and it
presents besides an explanation ol the rea-
son for the false judgment given during the
war when dates were confused and actions
that took place on the 30th of August were
assumed to have occurred on the 20tb, and
false conclusions drawn therefrom. Proud
words for the dlimisstd General will be theie
of the latter, cooler and better Informed
judgment: "That Porter's conduct was obe
dient, tulordinate faithful ami judicial. 11
tared the Union army from disaster on the 29M
af August." The recommendation of the
Court on this finding could not bo other
than the full restoration of General Porter
to the position of which be was deprived by
court material. Long-delayed justice will
not be done until all the effects of the court
martial which condemned him have been
wiped away. The only thing the Govern
ment can do Is to restore him to bis old
rank from the date of his dismissal. It wll
take long time to gel all the histories of
the war corrected so as to prevent the con
tinued spread of falsehood as to the charac
ter of the old commander of the Fifth Army
Corps. Ledger.

Two cases from the New York Court of
Appeals, Williams against Weaver, partly
argued in the United States Supreme Court
on Thursday, presented two Important ques
tions : tirst, whether a nation al bank
stock-holder is entitled to havo his debts aud
exempt investments deducted from his bauk
shares in the computation of taxes there
upon ; and, second, whether the State law,
as construed by the State courts, which im
poses the same tax upon all national bank
shares without reference to their market val
ue, is not in violation of that section of the
Revised Statutes which prohibits a greater
tix upon national bank share ''than is
assessed upon other moneyed capital iutho
hands of indi.idual citizens of the State."
The first question was decided negatively
and the second affirmatively by tho decisions
appealed from, which were in favor of the
assessors.
The largest Infant at birth of which there
is any authenticated record was born in
Ohio on the 12th of last January. The
new-born boy was twenty-three and three
quarter pounds in weight (tho oidinary
weight being about six pounds), and thirty
inches in height, (the ordinary height being
about twenty Inches). The circumference
of the bead was nineteen inches, and the
foot was five and a half inches in length.
Six years ago the same woman became the
mother of a child eighteen pounds in weight
and twenty-four inches in height. The size
and weight of the babe, though extraordi
nary, are proportionate to the size of the
parents. Tho mother, Mrs . M. V. Hates of
Nova Scotia, is seven feet nud nine inches
high, and the father, a ICenttickinu, is seven
feet seven inches high, 'lhe London Hos
pital Museum can boast no longer of its
giant infatit, which is only twenty-four
inches high, with lhe htad thirteen and a
half inches in circumference.
The first venture of the Chandler and
Garfield revolutions in Congress, before the
people has punned out badly. The munici
pal election of Chicago was chosen as jut
the occasion to sta:t the revolutionary
furore booming, and the issue was made by
the Chicago organs and politicians ns a di
rect issuo between tbo rule of Abraham
Lincoln and Jeff Davis. Even the usually
conservative Tribune was swung into the
sectional tide by the echoes of fools and
demagogues in Congress, aud it declared that
a vole fur Harrison would be a vote in favor
of the parly that, "having failed to shoot
the Union to death, now proposes to starve
it to death." Garfield had just given the
key-note and the stalwarts rallied and re
sponded in ciiorous through every precinct
of Chicago, The answer of Chicago is the
election of the first Democratic Mayor fu
twenty years, by a majority of marly five
thousand, and the success of the eutire Dein
ncratic ticket. Nobody will pretend that
tho Republican city of Chicago has sudden
ly become Democratic, hut the wayfaring
man may easily understand that the business
and industrial classes of that city don't pro
pose to becomo blathering idiots over issues
settled years ago, merely because political
lunatics happen to find themselves in Con
gress. Thus endeth the first lesson I Timet.
There is no class ot men who need so much
starting as young attorneys. Happy does
that one regard himself for fhoni the Court
endeavors by appointments to fill the void
occasioned by the lact of clients. Tho
Criminal Court is a favorite, though not
generally a very paying field for the incipient
man of law, and if he is ho fortunate as to
have tho favor ot the Judge, from here may
lead the path to fame and fortune. Every
prisoner is entitled 'to counsel, If he bus
money he can employ one, otherwise the
Court appoints one for him. Many a young
barrister, scarcely recovered from the alarm
experienced on his examination, has at such
summons, with much trepidation and con
fusion of mind, seated hiirself at the coun
sel table with the firm conviction that bis
client is guilty and that he himself 1-nons
very little of criminal Jaw, both of which
are ultimately proved to be well fouuded.
The Galveston AVirs regards Ibis procedure
with extreme favor, and claims (hat Texas
owes to it an immense debt of gratitude.
That while the young lawyer baa an oppor
tunity to practice bis profession and acquire
valuable experience, hq usually succeeds In
obtaining for his client the extreme limit of
the law. Though occasionally it is suggested
au luuoceiK man may sutler, T,e A'cut takes
great comfort in the thought that the guilty
never escape. J'rett.

Tho following aro llio palicnt points in tho
cao of Oenoral Fitz Joliii Porter, as taken
fioin the irpoit Itself !
That tlia ltccoidtr lias ucd great diligence
for evidence, especially such u might appear
to havo n hearing nJveiso to tho claims urged
by General Porter.
That duo caro Ins been cxcrctfcd not to in-
quire into tho military operations or tho con
duct of officers ol'tlio Army nf Virginia fur
thcr than was ncccuiry to a lull elucidation
of tho subject of investigation.
That the now evidence, in addition to tho
old, lias ii'accil bejond question many im
portant facts before t lie subject of di-pute,
in respect to which radically erroneous opin
ions were etitertnitttii by General Porter's
nocusrta, and, doubtless, by tho court mattial
that pronounced him guilty. '1'liu tcsult has
been to establish beyond rit nabio doult all
the facts essential to tho foiiiiatioii of aw
rect Judgment upon tlio luciits of General
Porter's r.ise.
The lepott is llierefoio tuado by tlio Hoard
with cutiio unanimity aud without doubt in
their mind', with tlio reasons for conclusions,
and what notion justice inquires should bo
taken by tlio President.
Tlio leport of tho board of officers then pro
ceeds to give a nnirativo of tlio cvrnin which
gave rio to tlio chuges n'.'iiinst General Por
ter, omitting unessential details and limiting
tlicui'clves to a plain statcmint of rscntial
facts established by proof, This narrativo
covers tlio lepoit of the beard.
Copccrniiig the charge ol which General
Porter wus found guilty, of not bavin r moved
his command on the night of August 27,
1802, in obrdictico to nn order fioin General
Pope, the boa'd report that it was a maiiifist
physical impossibility to ninicli over that
road that night ; that Lothing could hare
been gained by tlio attempt, and it would
have been wiser if Potter had delayed the
attempt still longer thau ho did ; that he ex
orcised tho very ordinary discretion of a corps
commander, and it was his plain duty to so
excrciso it.
llcgauling I lie situation nt tlio armies
on tlio 20th of August, 1S02, tho board
sustain, at very considerable length, Portit's
insistant beforo his original court-martial that
Pope's orders were given under a misappre
hension of tho true filiation ; that instead of
Jackson having tho only force with whom
Porter was to engage, the whole Confederate
army, with Longstrcct'o command, which in
eluded 25,000, were coufiontiug Poller with
only 0,0f0 men, and that Poilei'.s corps was
the only one ready for action of the 35,000
troops composing tho left wing of tho Union
army.
With refcienco to tho famous 4:30 older,
tho board find that it was not received by
Porter beforo 0:30 P. M. of tho 20th of Au
gust, and that the officer who wrototho dis
patch only begun to wiito it at 4:30. Tho
board report that tho moment tho 4:30 older
was received Potter ordered an attack, but
daikucss came on, and using tlio woids of tho
repoit, "tlio Older was based upou conditions
maiiilVstly erroneous and diicctcd what was
impossible to bo done," aud that Porter
wisely ordeitd tiio further preparations to
cea-o.
The report dials at length with a!l the cir-cunis'an-es
which surrounded Poller after
McDowell had left him, and ays : "An at
tuck by Porter would have been a violation of
tlio spirit of his orders and a criminal blun
der leading to iucvitnblo d't-astcr. In short
ho had no chance as a faithful soldier but to
do substantially what lu did do ; that no
court martial would have condemned such
conduct if correctly understood ; that Porter's
Cfluduct was obediint,tubordiimte, faithful and
judiciaiu. It saved the Union tivmyjrom dis
aster on the 21WA of August."
In concluding tho leport thn board pays
that General Pope appears fioin his orders
aud from his testimony to have been whol'y
iutiornut of the true situation on the 8th of
August. Potter had undeistood and ap
predated tlio military situation, and, so far
as ho had acted upon his own judgment, his
action ha I been wiio and judicious. For the
disaster of the succeeding day lie was in no
degreo responsible. Who ever el.-e may havo
been responsible, it did not Ibw from any
action or any actions of his. General Porter
was in effect cjiideiunad for n)t lnviiiir taken
any part in his own battle. Such was the
error upon which General Porter was pro
nounccd guilty of tho uio'-t shameful crime
knuwn among soldiers. Wo believe not one
among all the gallant soldiers on that bloody
field VMsiess deserving of such condemnation
than bo.
Thn evidence of bid animus in Porter's
casp, ceases to ha material in viow of the
evidence of his soldierly and faithful con
duel. 1J it it is our duty to say that the in
d'screet and unkiud terms in which General
Porter expressed his distrust of the capacity
of his superior commander cannot bo de
fended ; and to that indiscretion was due,
in very great meaiuie, the misinterpretation
of 1jt.Ii his motives and his conduct and his
consequent condemnation.
Having thus given the reasons for our
concl-Jslons, we have the honor to report, in
accordance with the President's order, that
in our opinion justice ri qui res at his 1mnds
such action as may be necessary to annul
and ft asiJe tbo finding and sentence of
the court martial in the ciuepf Msjor Gen
tral Fitz John Porter aud to restore bim to
the positiou of which that sentence deprived
In in, such restoration to take effect from the
date of his dismissal from the service.
