WASHINGTON, July 4-Dr. Mackay
who was recently removed from the col
lectorship of the port Of Charlestop, South
Carolina, is here, and yesterday had az
Interview with the President, in references
10 his reinstatement. He charges that his
successor is Democrat, and should not be
commissioned. He also presented letter
70 tbe President, from the Governor OF
South Carolina, protesting sgainst the new
appointment, and urging DR.. Mackay's
reinstatement.
Great interest is manifested in the Vir-
ginia election, which takes place on Tues.
day next. The Conservatives still feel
hopeful of the election of Walker.
y Gen. Van Wyck left for New York to-
night, having just returned from Virginia.
He reports the contest in that State ex-
citing and bitter; that the constitution,
without the test oath and disfranchising
clause, will be adopted, and that the vote
for Governor will be very heavy and
close.
The President will submit to the Attor-
eyGeneral the question of legality of
Gen. Canby's requirement, that members
elect of the Virginia Legislature shall take
an iron-clad oath in order that uniformity
may prevail in recognizing the unrecon-
strucsed States uEdsr the reconstruc:ion
laws.
The fact has leaked out that Sickles
took important instructions 10 Spain. Toe
instructions were drawn at the Department
of State with much caution, and soon
thereafter delivered 10 him in New York
under such circumstances as to preclude
possibility of premature exposure of their
contents, bat from what has since trans
pired in official circles, it il safe to assert
that there is no instruction relative to the
purchase of Cuba. An official contradic-
tion of this is already furnished, but there
is no reason given TO contradicting the
paragraph sent Friday, that Sickles is
authorized to offer the services of this gov
ernmeut as a mediator, to save further
bloodshed in Cuba aud relieve the Spanish
government Of the great expense of carry
ing on the war. .-
The Treasury Department has been Off
cisliy advised of the re-opening Of the
Merchants National Bank al LilIle Rock,
Ark, il being reported in a solvent condi-
ton.
