WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 10.-Thc secretary
of state, by direction Of the President, has sent
letters to England, Germany and the lesser
powers, protesting against their allowing sub
jects who are Mormons to leave for the United
States. 1t sets forth that under the laws of
this country bigamy is crime, and that if
these people come they will be treated as GRIM
inals.
DISTRICT BONDS.
The new five per cent. District of Columbia
refunding bonds all of which have been dis
posed Of by advertising for bids, will not be is
sued before September /.
The President has decided to restore all of
the cadets recently dismissed from West
Point for hazing, as there is a general senti-
ment among army officials that expulsion will
not break up the practice. Certainly pardon
ing the offendt RS will work no reform. A New
York dispatch, yesterday, with reference to the
anti-hazing movement at West Point, said that
Gen. Sheridan was turned back in his studies
while cadet for making free with his fists
upon the face of another cadet. Gen. Scofeld
said today that this story about Sheridan
was not exactly correct. Sheridan was second
class and private in the ranks on parade. A
lHeuDeT Oh INC tHlIu CLASS was on Gnat Gay
corporal over him, and while marching Sheri-
dan conceived the idea that the corporal in
suited him. He said nothing until they broke
ranks, when he knocked the corporal down
with his musket and for that he was reduced
to the class below. Gen. Schofeld, present SUI
perintendent of West Point academy, is deal
ing livery severely with hasing and
is determined, to break up the prac-
tice. He has changed his views on
hazing since he, while student, was condemned
for hazing: and it is said would have been dis
missed from the institution had he not asked
for court-martial, which dealt with him more
leniently than tho academy officials were dis
posed to do. He says that hazing, which was
! once carried on at West Point in spirit of fun
and mischievousness, has now degenerated to
brutality and cowardly cruelty, and must be
| stopped. The President, war department., and
he himself are in accord on the question, and
prevent hazing in the future.
