Porter guilty of the charges preferred, and he was dismissed the service January 27, 1863. Now commenced Porter's long struggle for a vindication from the great stigma which had been cast upon him. After many years — in 1878 — he was successful in securing from President Hayes an order convening a board of officers to examine and re- port upon the case in connection with new evidence which had become available since the trial. The board consisted of Gens. Schofield, Terry and Getty, and their r...eport was a most thorough and absolute vindica- tion of Gen. Porter. Gen. Grant, after re-examining the evidence, declared himself "convinced beyond all COL. IRA McL. BARTON. t- NEW Yo FIRST NEW HAMPSHIRE. 205 preconceived notions" of the injustice of Porter's con- viction. From this time, for eight years, Congress was pressed for the only legal vindication which could be given ; and in 1886 it came in the passage of a bill which restored Porter's name to the arm}^ rolls and placed him upon the retired list.
