WASHINGTON, April 19.-Counsel for
Fitziohn Porter state that they never
took the position that the President had
power to annui or set aside the findings
of the Court Martial and approval of
sentence disrnissing him from the ARMY.
They concur in this respect with tho
opinion of tho Attorney General, but
their Wow was that the President under
the pard0ning power can remit the sen
tcnce, which, by excluding him from all
offices under the Government, is now
being daily executed, and Congress can
by law restore him to the army. and
they have supposed that the President
would exercise this power, and would
carry out the recommendation of the
Board Of Inquiry, composed Of Generals
Schofold, Terry and Getty.

out because Of the very general belief that
they do no; have in it their strongest
case. Southern members are unanim-
Gus in the demand that stand be made
on this case, because it involves the
whole question Of contest in the South,

SALT LAKE, April 1S.-The hints drop
ped during the recent conference Of the
Mormon church were acted upon today,
the burden of all discourses in the taber-
nacle being that saints must not trade
with or patrenizs in any way Gentiles,
who are blamed for the late anti-Mor-
mon legislation. The policy il openly
deprecated by conservative Mormons,
who will pay no attention to it, but the
fanatic masses are certain to obey the
counsel. and the consequence doubtless
will be financial trouble. II is said that
the Gentle merchants will retaliate by
discharging all Mormon employees and
buying nothing Of saints that they can
avoid. II the lines are closely drawn

parties must ensue. a. neither oan get
along without the other-Mormons
being laborsrs, gardeners aud farmers.
and the Gentiles having the money.
Class feeling seems to be growing more
bitter daily. showing itself thoroughly
in trade and society. People are be-
