WASHINGTON, Oct 30.-The president
Yesterday received the following dispatch
from Richmond, Texas:
To THE PREsIDENT.-The following or-
der was received here by telegraph:
"To Judge Mcfarland Richmond,
Texas: For reasons made known by the
Governor and States Attorney, you will
continue until next term the cases involV-
ing the question of heirship to the estate
of c. Clark, deceased.
j. J. REYNOLDS,
"Brevet Major General"
Weregard this order as a great military
usurpation. 1t is addressed to judge of
a civil court, directing him how he shall
decide the question Of continuance. Both
rartips are present and represented bv
the counsel-the case ready for trial.
Shall the commanders Of the district con.
troll the judiciary? We ask You to revoke
the order Answer.
re. TRIGG,
JOIN T. HARCOUGT,
Plaintiffs Counsel
The President, under the reconstruct
ton laws, has no authority over the mill
tary commanders so far as their control
over the States under military rule is con-
cerned. OF course he cannot revoke the
| order Of Gen. Reynolds as requested by
the attorneys igning the foregoing dis
patch. This order Of Reynolds Is OF
piece with his recent edict torbidding an
| election in Texas for President and Vice
President He has evidently a full apN
probation of the unlimited power vested
! in him as district commander by the
| Radical laws. A shoulder-strapped ty-
rant orders Judge how he shall decide
and the President Of the United States is
poWerless to interpose against this mon
strous ururpatiOn?
Chief Justice Chase in conversation
with prominent gentleman on Thursday
last, said that he would not vote at the
election next week, ard that in the
present cOnditiOn of affairs, he considered
! II his duty to remain neutral, although 1t
was of the highest Importance that the
financial policy should be settled on
firm basis vet this could not bed one UNI
I'll affairs in the South assumed another
aspeot Upon the question Of the tariff,
! he believed that the Democratic theory
| was the correct one, and ii time would
rreyail. prophesied that Gen. Grant s
election to the Presidency would inevita-
Div result in the disruption and disor-
ganization Of the Republican party, out
Of which class would spring party that
would meet the liz AZ issues squarely.
| Before Grant has been President one
year, he expected to see one-half OF the
House Of BeprescEtatiyes arrayed against
whatever Grant policy may be.
General Heintzelman arrived this
morning from New York where he has
| been engaged as a member of the Retiring
| Board. 1t was rumOred that he had been
sent for TO succeed Gen. Reynolds IN
Texas, but this was incorrect SO he was
assured by Secretary Schotield. lie is
awaiting orders.
Postmaster General Randall is very
mach annoyed at the publication OF q
statement that there will be shown de-
fciency in his Department, during the
last fiscal year, OF upwards Ofsix million:
of dollars. His friends say that the Au
ditor has not made his report yet upOr
the postofice expenses, so that all figures
purporting TO present the condition OF tht
Department must be received with allow
anCe.
Seward has gone to New \ Ork to maxi
one Of his dull set speeches. There 4
no curiosity whatever to hear what he hai
to say. lie is for Grant as far as he i
for anybody after. himself His speeches
however, have lost their fire and interest
as his opinions do not control hundre'
votes either way.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30-SOme Of you
slow contemporaries who failed to Obtain
the intelligence relating to the rebellion
in Cuba, together with the negotiation
of the leaders to purchase ironSclads from
this government, as transmitted in TIN
correspondence, have attempted to dis
credit the statement, affecting that it /:
officially contradicted. OF course on
government did not treat with Rebel
in arms against their government, but tn
propositions to buy vessels, made b.
private individuals, were entertained an
considered. The main point Of tn
statement ofyour correspondent, that tn
movement was for the independence {
Cuba, is fully established by the hes
news from that Island. Official advice
