President Mrs re-examination of the
court martial in the case of Porter. and
In answer to the statements of that piper
he proposed to vindicate the truth. of
history, while witnesses were yet living
. who would testify in its cause. One of
General Porter's reasons upon the trial
for not moving his force forward was
that the enemy were in great force In his
front, as was shown by clouds of dust
In the direction of Gainesville.
Gen/ Porter now claimed to have new
evidence. So bad he (Mr. Chandler,)
fresh evidence, for. the official dispatches
of the rebel General Fitz Hugh Lee ex
plained that the clouds of duet referred
to were caused by Job Stuart's cavalry,
with a lot of horses having brushes tied
to their tails galloping down from Gaines
' villa. Mr. Chandler charged, upon the

see how the con - martial, with the evl
dance they had, could have returned any
other verdict -than that they did, he
! t
li r
ught on the statement that new evi
d ce had boon discovered that would
e lain Porter's action, and perhaps ant
p stify ft. that he should have a new
art .or in some way anew examination.
He felt that any man who bad stood on

In the Corps Legislatif today ft Jules
%vivre moved his interpellatton of the
Mutatry on their domestic policy and
supported his motion with a vigorous
speech. He alluded to the action of the
Government in the recent popular
troubles, and severely denounced the
arrest of Rochefort and the attempt to
mislead the public mind by pretending
the existence of a conspiracy. He de
manded • dissolution of the Cham
bers. The majority here was not
of the nation's, but of Prefab'
making. If the Ministry intended
to be truly liberal, he would sup
port them, though not with implicit
confidence; but if they continued to be
the Instrument of personal power, he
would inexorably oppose them. He
accused the present majority of having
voted the Mexican expedition and squan
dered the finances of Paris.
