Il Partial Pardon for Porter.

WARRINGTON, May 6.-The attorney gen
eral, to whom was offered the second petition
of Gen. Fitz John Porter, has recommended to
the president that the continuous part OF the
sentence of the court martial, disqualifyine
Gen. Porter from holding any office under
the government, be RENTED. The subject
was discussed at the last cabinet meeting, and
1t is believed the president will remit the
penalty In short time.
THE PRESIDENT PROCLAIMs.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-In reply to General
Fitz John Porter's application for the remis-
sion of q portion Of the sentence of the court
martial being executed, the president has is
sued the following order, and has thus re.
moved the only light obstacle to congressional
action, and exhausted all his powers Ia the
case under the existing laws:
Chester A. Arthur, President of the United
States of America, to all whom these pres
ents may come. greeting:
WHEREAS, On the 10th of January, 1863,
Fltz John Porter, major general of volunteers
In the military service of the United States,
and also colonel OF the Fifteenth regiment of
infantry and brevet brigadier general in the
United States army, was by general court
martial, for certain offenses of which he had
been thereby convicted, sentenced to be CASH
tered, and to be forever disqualified from hold.
ing any office OF trust or profit under the
government of the United States; and,
WHEREAS, on the 2lst of January, 1868,
that sentence was duly confirmed by the presi-
dent of the United States, and by his order on
the same date carried into execution; and
WHEREAS, so much of that sentence as for
ever disqualified said Fitz John Porter from
holding Office, imposed upon him a continu
ing penalty, and ia still being executed; and
WHEREAS, doubts have since arisen con-
corning the guilt of the said Fitz John Porter
of the Offenses whereof he was convicted by
said court martial, founded upon the result of
an investigation ordered on the 10Th day Of
April, 1878, by the president of the United
States, which are deemed by me to be of
sufficient gravity to warrant the remission of
that part of said sentence which has not been
completely executed.
Now, therefore, know ye, that 1, Chester
A. Arthur, president OF the United States, by
virtue OF the power in me vested by the con.
stitution of the United States and in consid.
Grafton of the premises, do hereby grant to
the said Fitz John Porter full remission of
atty.
In witness whereof, have hereunto signed
my name and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed.
Done al the city of Washington, this 4th
day of May, A. D. 1882, ajaof the independ-
ence of the United States the one hundred and
sixth.

CHICAGO, May 6.-The boys in the wheat pit
did more monkey business than actual work
to-day, and the clique alternately bought and
sold to ruin the tailers, so the market CLOSED
quiet and steady at the decline. In my opin.
ion the break of the past few days was caused
by few, that the rule which Is to be voted
on Monday, allowing winter wheat to be de-
livered on contracts, will be passed, and, there
fore, cause drop. Perhaps it may, but am
still bull, especially for the more distant
futures. Some of the shipments to-day were
from one of the elevators, which rumor said
contained tainted" wheat, and II it turns out
good, I don't zee why prices shouldn't ad-
vance The curb for June is Sl.27x.
Corn dropped off with wheat. but it is just
like picking up money to buy it.
Provisions quiet, with a moderate business.
