Grant has be come convinced, after a careful reading of the testimony offered in the Fits John Vorter court-martial and the docu ments tow accessible, that Porter has been u r justly condemned. The Gen-. era!, in an interview with s Tuna re porter, Monday, expressed hisaself as satisfied that he had been ! mistaken hitherto, and that ao examination of the oiders ami reports of the Confed erate otScers engaged iaV the second battle of Ball Kaa had couvioced hies that Porter w s well informed aa to the whereabouta of the rebel army, and that his movements were made intelli gently, and that ho did his whole duty ta that disastrous afatr. Possibly, the general public, uninformed as it must be concerning military matters,, has re ceived a wrong impression ol the real merits of this celebrated case. It hss beta generally supposed that; Porter disobeyed orders, etuic up bis Indi vidual opinio against that of his coat msndicg cScer. Pcrhapa the central public is all wrocg t this, but it ; will be cecctsarr wow to show that Porter not oalr rlrat ta hla Udivkiasi htKfgmenV as show by tho mv liu m Th anect. h&t that he dU act dis obey the orders or tvtt csa-aaociaj cCcow-nKV IVr rsrsw i Tta all :r:U rniiilT a atrr lsklrj a'tr i, l-t w -ta ariit tit kss ists it U f.uslCtrt is scue izt? The Wilmington and teldon Rail road Company with wise forecast have determined to build a branch' of their road from Wilson via Fayetteville to Florence, South Uardliha. It is claimed that this short cut will save about seventy miles in the distance traveled by through passengers between the north and south. The building of a road on pr near this line, we have re garded only as a question of time, and since its' construction, must interfere somewhat with the business of the coast line, the W. & W. R. R. Company, which constitutes a very important link in that line, may by anticipating what is probably inevitable, reap advantages from the ownership of this line, and prevent an injurious competition with the coast line. Whether this be their motive or not, we cannot but regard with a friendly feeling the construction of an important link in the great rail road system from north to soutb, run ning 'as it will by our doors, and placing this town at once on the great highway of travel, '.f- . Mr, Bridgers, the President of the W. & Wi Railroad and of the W., C. & A. Railroad was here last week taking note of the topography of this i region, and we understand that a party of en gineers will soon take the field for the purpose of surveying the route. Fay-, cttevillc Examiner. j " Da v'.d Monat, a respectable man of Philadelphia,! who. wns indicted for changing.the election returns in a ward of that citt, after considerable delay in the trial, finding that he could not es cape the clutches of the law officers, brought his case to a termination by a full confession of his crime, hoping no doubt, in that way to lighten the penal ty. But his pffence was a flagrant one, and was committed with deliberation. The Judge sentenced him to pay a fine of $1,000 and spend two years in pris on." Salisbury Wdlchman i Monat beine detected, was indicted and brought" to trial, like all rascals should be, and the crime of which he was charged being both proven and ac knowledged, he received from an up right Judge a scathing rebuke for his wrong doing; and fined and sent to pri son to punish his wicked deed. This was Republican justice. x ' . . But how stands the case with Bimilar offences here in North Carolina,! with Democrats. At the late Presidential election, laise returns in several east--, era counties were made by Democratic "poll-holders'' and judges of election, falsifying many townships and wholo count5 es, largely Republican, and count ing them for Hancock; and more or less prac ticed all over the state. These un lawful and dishonest acts are notorious and well know, but no Democratic" Judge has been known to charge a grand jury to investigate such cases, to protect the' sacredness of the ballot, in the hands of a jy party. Could jus tice be done these offenders, the prisons of the state would contain many "Mo nats." ; . : I : It was Gen. Cox Congressman, who telegraphed, "Hold Robeson, and save the staI" r Gen. Cox, instead of be ing sent to prison, is sent to Congress. Ho and Mont stand together, accord ing ; to moral , principles. Maictvule American..
