Senator Garland , from the comaiit
tee oa judiciary , reported an original
bill aa n mibjtituto for the btlla to

Senator G.trlnnd iiaid the subject was
a very imoortant one , uud that hu
would calLnp the bill as soon as Iho
Fits John Porter and presidential auc
cession bills were out of the way ,
The bill , in brief , authorizes tha at

At the close of the morning hour
the calendar was taken up.
At 1:25 : the stmnto resumed consid
eration of the Fita John Port or bill.
In jastifbtitiou of his remark the
ether day about people aouolimca
changing their miniia , Senator Logan
sent to the desk nndlhad road two lot-

dcnca given buforo the our ; nur'.ul
and aho Gen. Porfcr'o oubst quant de

him ita fir ns n J could r.ud thai ho hnd
cotao to the oojclusiau that no now
facia had been developed , nud il waa
doulitfulwhother by the nation of the
cix'culivo alouo a no/ trial could bo
legally given.
Senator Logan aiin ho would .nako
no cotninment on Projldent Gnvat's
letter , but would leave it to bs iti own
commant. Uyon Iho quoition nf the
condiiim of the road wHoh the
friends of General Porter eaid was on
cutnbardd with 2,000 wagoua , Logan
Bald hu had mndj a calculation chiir-
ing these nina iiailc.i of road v/oald
hold jcat 050vavons ; iaotoad of 2,000.
The arh'umoat that Porter tr.n not to
blf.rao for failing to obsy promp'ly
the 0:30 : ordtr was aiiBnurid by the
fact that ho Imd received a prior order
dated 4 o'clock on the 27tii , ro&ding ,
"The enemy vnu moving upon union
linn ; * ecd hu CPortor ) must bo ro.-.Jy
any inoiuant. " Lr. cui proceodc 1 c' *
to cciDtiidjr wli t ho called thu et. mad
branch of the 0.120 , nntnoly , the ques
tion , was thor.3 a batt.lo
outho20h of Augiwt , 1362. Ono
reason given by the Schoficld bourd
for their reportIng in Grn. Portar'a
fr.vor was tnit tht-ra was no bittlo on
that d y , only n ( skirmish. How the
board could have raached Uiat con
elusion ha could not understand , for
it was directly contradicted by the
ovldeneo , und upon this point ho rend
from thu testimony of Gena. Mo
Dwell , Reynold , Schofwld , Robinson ,
Grover , Bunoy , Siegol and cthou or
floors , and also from thu reports ot thu
ollicera of Jackson's command , chewing -
ing there was a eevorn bat tlu on that
day , Ono of the division commands
era under Longstrout that day ( Gen ,
Wilcox ) was en oUioer of the Eouato ,
and had told him ( Lagan ) hU troop
were ougngod in the bittlo of the 20th.
Senator ( Jewell If the senator suc
ceeds in that , ho mil place the cam
jnanding general in a very bid light.
Senator Logan I will provo by
General Wilcox , and by Leo and by
Longstrcet.
Senator Sawoll There Is no qu
tlon but Longtareot waa there ou the
29th.
Senator Logan Yes , end ho waa in
the fight , too.
Senator Sowell That has always
been denied by General Pope ,
Senator Logan It makes no differ
enQO who denies it ; I nm talking
about the foot. It Is very strange
this constant effort makes this a trial
of Popo.
Senator Sowell- ought to bo.
Senator Logan Oh , yes ; well , I'l
make it a trial of Porter , and I wil
tunic o this oauntry understand , too ,
that it is Porter who Is on tilal for
disobedience of Popo'a orders. OUlm-
'ng lo h.wo shown beyond odonbt there
TSS a battle on the 29th. Logan said
the ncx't qvcslion AVAS , did Porter re-
celva any order to take p&rt In that
ntllo and if so did ho obey i1) ) Porter
arrived at Bristow , V . , nl'J.'IJO In ths
morning nud ten minutes Inter ho
wrote to Burnaid' ) saying among other
things , ho thongiu his lucky etar up
and adding , ' ' 1 lupo Mao's star is up
o. " What dil that moan ? Mao had
men removed from command of the
army nnd Pope had bojn put there In
ia ! stead and the hopa was to got
L'opo out and hare Mao restored.
That was the meaning of that remark.
Again , Porter wtpjo in the same
otter , "You will hoar of us soon by
way of Alexandria. " Why by way of
Alexandria ! If the army WAI
inccossful it would carry the enemy
nto Virginia , but AhjxsndMa was a
( Oed place to retreat to In c. . > of do-
oat. There were only two * ays to
explain Porter's conduct , iithor ho
IVHS a coward , or else ho did not in *
; end to fight under Pope , and as the
senator from New Jersey ( So veil ) said
10 was not n coward , ' the other ex
planation must bo accepted.
Senator Siwoll asked Logan whether
! o meant to convoy the dea that
Porter was on the flank of'uonfoder -
ate army or anywhere near. >
Senator Logan. No ; I do not wish
to confer thu Idea that ho win on thu
confederate army at nil , for ho was
not. But if ho had obcyid Pope's
order ho would havu en on confed
erate fl-iuk.
Senator Sowell The Bomtor docs
not understand the nituatlun. The
order of Pope contomulatcd his strik
ing the left il.iuk of Jack oa nnd not
Longdtroot , who was in his front.
Snntor Logan Upon whtu author
ity does the collator eny Loncstroot
was in his front ?
Senator Sowell Upon Longatreot'a
own evidence.
Sanator Lagan denied there was
Q 'lar o ftirco in Porter's front nnd
rssd from confederate reporta showing
that the "dmt" of which Porter npoke
was made by dririug n few muloa
along the rind with brush tied to
thair taila. [ Linfihter. ] The dust
iu the road , ouid Logan , waa mtdo by
four mules and scarce ! Porter n bidly
, though ho had 12 000 mon uudor
his command , ho rotrwtecl. Jla wants
to ba restored to thy army from which
ha waj expaMcd , becaujo when ho was
ordered to attack ho failed to obey on
account of the mulca and brash. Why ,
if ha had boon a volunteer soldier ho
would not have bpon permitted to
stay in this country. I'iioro novoc
was a nnn in the volunteer scrvico
who would have had cheek enough to
cjrao before congress or any othoi1
tribune ) , and njk that their evidence
nhnuld bo opread before the worjd.
' During my lifo I have served
abuut oovon years in the
nrmy ' , " continued Logan ; "I do not
wiah'to spsak of what i hiivo donn
tnysolf , hat I have boon Jn a great
many battlou , and If the time hnd
ever boon found during my whole ox-
I rirjacn , w-icro , v.'ify a cammand nf

In the report which acnmp.inlod

Without undertaking to decide wheth

t-bejfc to adopt eomo measure that
would avoid this question und pines
the parties in nUitnda towards each
other that would icsaro to each f.iir

done. They propose to direct the attor
ney general to inatlluto proper judicial
jrococding against any railroad com
panies that ho may have reason to bo-
iovo ( ire In default as to the condi
tions of thuir grants to bring &baut n
forfeiture and secure the rights of the
jovermnoiit to the lands. This pro-
seeding , in the nature of an informs-
lion , will bring the supposed di fault
ing company into court to bo hoard In
defense' against forfeiture , and the
court can enter snob judgment or do-
crcos aa in ita opinion will coouro the
overnmont not merely In declaring a
Forfeiture , if need bo , but in declaring
