what Army omcers Think of It.

WASHINGTON, May 9-Itis the opinion
of prominent army officers that the presi,
dent in modifying Major Reno's sentence
of dismissal to suspension from duty for 2
years, has let that officer off too easily, and
that it will produce an unfavorable effect
in the army. The opinion here among
army officers was universally in favor of
Reno's dismissal from the service. A few
days ago MIR. Newell had final interview
with Gen. Sherman to try and get him to
revoke his approval Of Reno's dismissal
II can do nothing" said Sherman. IAN
officer of the army must be above doubt or
suspicion. You officers of the civil law
(referring to Mr. Newelll would rather
have ninety nine guilty men escape than
have one innocent man punished. You
talk of giving Maj Reno the benefit Of
every doubt. Again repeat, az officer Of
the army must be above doubt" Here
Mr.. Newell interposed something about
the gallant record of Maj Reno and asked
whether this should not be taken into con
sideration. Said Gen. Sherman: Il am
as proud of Maj Reno's record as a soldier
as any officer in the army, but the higher
and brighter the record the greater the
offence

cigarette smoking was doing more
to undermine the constitutions of

diseases among the young men, OF
the families of some of their most

case it was discovered that the
primary cause was cigarette smok-

of cigarette smoking ariso from the

Resumption.

That resumption of specie payments Is
coming is the general belief. The condl'
tions relating to 1t are such that they adj
NIT of no reasonable doubt that resumption
will take place as soon AS the time appoint
ed in the resumption act. The New York
Times calls attention to the fact that Secre-
tary Sherman gives it AS his opinion that
the United States notes after they have been
reduced to $500, 0O0, 900 may be re issued
when they have been presented and re-
deemed. While the Times disagrees with
the Secretary in regard to the policy OF
such reissue. 1t is of the opinion that an
an act to that effect will become law.
THIS will give US as currency the United
States notes and the bank notes out
standing Dec. 81, 1873, and on Jan. /,
1879 we shall have added practically ali
the gold that is in the treasury tor the re-
demption of legal tenders, thus swelling
the currency at any given moment by a
sum about one-sixlh of its volume, say
500, 900 900.
To counteract or discount the bad effect
which such an act will have, the Times
suggests that it lies in the power OF the
associated banks OF the city of New York
10 begin a system which will be necessari-
" followed throughout the country, and
which will 60 far toward toward making
the process of resumption safe aad easy
one. ut is simply" says the Times, ITO
make their contracts from any fixed time
near at hand, say the lst of January, pay
able in gold. Such a determination on
their part would tend to reduce the pre-
MUM on gold to nothing steadily. 1t
would make gold the basis of all CONNER
mercial transactions. 1t would introduce
it as an active element in the currency.
and make it possible to assimilate any
gold that came to us from abroad during
the next year. III short, it would gradual
ly and surely prepare the business of the
country for resumption and prevent the fact
of papers being redeemable in gold after
Jan. /. 1879 from so affecting its value as
to create disturbance. There is no doubt
of the entire legality of this plan. There
is none. either, that it is practicable il there
is sufficient unity of purpose with refer
ence to it. We are confident that there
is considerable support for it among the
bankers of New York, and we look for
practical action in this direction"
