The Dismissed Cadet.
CHICAGO, July 31st.-Cadet HartigaD, of
the first class st West Point, just dismissed
for hszing a new cadet, was one of the best
students in his class, and the summary action
taken In bis C Sc will, it is believed, cause the
cadets to understand that Secretary Lincoln
is Ia earnest IN his determination to stop hsz-
ing. The report Of Colonel Merritt, on which
the Secretary acted, sets forth the circum-
stances of the case. Tie new cadet was on
post as sentinel at Fort Clinton. About II
o'clock at night numbsr Of masked cadets
some in white esheets-surrounded him and
continued to barsss him in various ways.
At lergth ne called the Corporal of the
Guard snd they dispersed. Soon after they
returned, Cadet Hartigan had on swoT6,
aad on approaching the post he Yves chal-
lengsd. Hethen Persorated the Officer OF
the Day, obtained the countersign and pro.
ceo3ed to correct the sentinel in his methods
of challenge. After many petty annoyances
Hartigan ordered The sentinel to face out
ward on his post, when the accomplices of
Hartigsn seized him from bshind, covered his
face and threw him into deep ditch which
is around the fort, bruising him considerably.
Hartigan was recognized by the sentinel, and
two others were also recognized, one OF them
Cadet Clarke, of the first clsss, and the other
Cadst Williams, Of the third. The part they
took in the matter, beyond the feet that they
wers about the sentinel post at the time, was
not very clear, and Colonel Merritt recon.
mended that their punishment be left to the
authorities Of the Academy.

thence west of Detroit toward Toledo. He
