Gen. Grant's Magnanimity. UNPUBLISHED LETTERS ON THE FITZ JOUN PORTER CASE. The hitherto unpublished correspondence between General U.S. Grant and General Fitz Joun Porter in relation to the appeal of Gen- eral Porter for a rebearing of his case, is made public b: pamphlet of twenty pages, just Esucd. ‘Phe ictters begin with General Potters first appeal to General Grant, September 8, 1866, and continue up to General Grant's last illness, In the first let General Porter asks Gen, Grant to ald him by a letter to the Presi- dentorinsome other inanner in effecting a re-exinination of the proceedings of the court- martial, and tomake known his action tothe Hon. 'Reverdy Johnson, General Adam Badeau replied for General Grant, under date of October 1, 1866, declining to interfere. On September 13, 1867, Gen. Grant, as Secre- tary of War, madé an indorsement on the ap- lication of’ Gen, Porter of 1867 to President johnson, stating that no testimony was con- tained in the application that demonstrated the ability of Gen. Porter to controvert by new evidence the testimony on which he was con- victed, and therefore Gen. Grant recommended that_no action be taken, On September 19, 1867, in answer to a further letter trom Porter, nt recommended that the application, ed to the Attorney General 4s to the ‘authority to try a second time by military court a person whose case has been regularly and finally disposed of by law. The documents disappeared from the Attorney General's oftice and were never found. Copies are now on file, ‘The appeal. with increased evidence, was re- newed in 1869,and again in 1874, but no action was taken upon them by Gen. Grant. On Sep- tember 17, 1581,Gen.Porter requested an inter- view with’ Gen, Grant, that he might, present y objection Gen, Grant might The interview did not take place but Gen Grant examined the papers sent by Gen. Porter, wad on December 9, 1881, Wrote that irom what he had read he bélieved’he hud done Gen, Porter injustice. On December 22, 188i, Gen, Grant wrote to the President that he had reviewed the trial and the testimony furn shed before the Schofield court of inquiry, held in 1879, und was convineed that for nine- teen yearshe had been doing a gallant and efiicient soldier a very get injustice. Gen. Grant explained that he had been ied into the mistake by reading Gen. Porter's defense in cunneetion with sketches of the field, which he had learned by comparison with@uaps made by the engineers’ department were entirely in- correct as showing the positions of the two ar- nies. On December 30, 1881, Gen, Grant wrote to Gen. J. A. Logan, apprising him of the con- ves Scott clusions he had rettetanUy reached against all Preconceived notions, and stating that he deemed It due to an wecused man to say so. On February 4, 1882, Gen, Grant wrote a letter to United States Senator Cameron, reviewing the Porter case at leugth, and explaining and relt- eratiug bis conclusions. On December 27,1882, Gen. Grant wrote to Gen. Porter that if any friend (or enemy) should be gullty of the bad taste of associating the bill for the relief of Gen. Porter with that ior the retirement of Gen. Grant, he would telegraph that his be with- drawn entirely. “I care nothing about mine whatever,” continues Gen. Grant. “it wil ate g e < F 8 id if ui i AT THE CAPITOL TO-DAY.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Bills Introduced in the ‘MR, WILLIS’ BILL REPEALING THE TENURE OF OFFICE ACT—MR. ANDERSON’S BILL GOVEEN- ING PROMOTIONS. The question of civil service reform ts occupy- ing the attention of many of the members of the House, and several bills upon that subject, have been prepared. Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, will introduce his bill repealing the tenure ofoffice act, The bill, alter repealing this act, with the provision that none now in office shall be effected by the repealing act, provides: “That the chief justice and associate justices ofthe supreme court ofevery territory here- after to be appointed shall be appointed to hold office during good behavior, or until the ter- ritory shall be admitted as a state, and the state government shall go into operation, and all the other officers whose term of office is abolished by the provisions of this act shall be commissioned to hold office, and shall hold office, during the pleasure of the President. “That every person hereafter appointed to any office of which the term is abolished by the provisions of this act, and of which the incum- nt is now required ‘to give an official bond, shall, before entering upon the duties of his office, give a bond to the United States, with one ‘or more sufficient suretiesy for’ the true and faithful discl ot the duties Uhereot according to law. ‘The said bonds shall be in such form, and under such penalty, and approved in such manner, and filed in such offices as is now provided by law in the cage of each of such officers; and such bonds shall be renewed onco in three ears, under such regulations as may be pre- Zcribed by the officers required to approve the same as are notinconsistent with the provisions ‘THE SENTIMENT OF THE HOUSE DIVIDED. Mr. Willis says, in connection with the civil service law, that the sentiment of the House is divided. ‘The politicians generally, at first blush, are toit, but he does not believe that any Intelligent man has made a study of the question and not become convinced of the importance and necessity of the law. He says he thinks it impossible now for Congress to take any backward stop. The principal oppo- sition to the law was on account of the compro- miso feature of the law, which retained in office those who were already in the service at the Ume the law went tuto effect. This is corrected as time on, and the antagonism to the clvil service law must die out, both in and out of the departments. REPRESENTATIVE ANDEESON’S BILL. Representative Anderson, of Ohio, intro- duced a bill to provide for examinations for promotion in the classified service in the de- uments, The bill provides that there shall end 1, Misesitoation, and that the cleras may be advanced from ‘one to the other the recommendation of the head of the bu- reans after passing the proper clvil service examination. urpose 1s to reach those clerks who have ever panued civil service examination, and at @ person employed in Hed service who has ‘not passed this examina- tion, and is recommended tor toa igher grade by the head of his bureau, shall poss the oxamitiation of the grade to which he recomianeaan and his promotion is made depend upon his ftiem ae thus shown, sa ea isn. wherein Result of Advertising im The Star.

Loxpox, Dec. 21.—Mr. Joseph Cowen, a ratli- cal reformer and member of parliament clect for Newcastle-on-Tyne, has issued a manifesto to his constituents respecting home rule for Ire- land. Mr. Cowen was the chief one of the ex- ceptions made by Mr. Parneil in his manitesto instructing nationalists not to vote tor liberal or radicat candidates, Mr. Cowen says: “It is impossible for England to consent to protective taritfs for Ireland te the confiscation of property of landiords in Ireland oF to allow irish members to leg slate on the, homie. ntlalts of England in addition to having their own par- lament. With these exceptions, [approve of home rile tor Ireland.
