WAsmNG1oN. Sept 20.
The lntegencer this morning officially contra
diets the stories that the President aud Gen Grant
have agreed to postpone the Southern elections
IL simply says that at recent conference they
thought that a uniform day would be preferable
but at the same time they decided that neither had
the power to reopen registration postpone an
election or name the day on which it should be
held. II is also learned that neither the President
nor Gen. Grant have conveyed their views to the
district commanders, who have thus far fixed diff
ferent election days in no less than five of the
Southern States.
1t is stated at the Treasury Department that the
statement Of the public debt for the month Of Sep
TENDER will not show much, # any, increase in
government obligations There are good reasons
for believing that there will be a slight reduction
in the month of October, but the payment OF TWEEN
ty-iye millions of coin interest on the iyc-twenties
due on the first Of November must Of course pro-
duce different showing Of the face of accounts in
the statement ofthe public debt for that month.
Upon the whole il is found by actual facts thus far
transpired and by fair and safer estimates for the
coming two months and eight days that the prog
nostications of Sec'y McCulloch about the fnan-
cal results of the summer and fall months rs set
forth in his letter to the Boston merchants, are
likely to be Substantially verified. with reasonable
prospect that the actual showing by the lst OF De-
cember may be very much more favorable than
predicted.
