EXECUTIVE OFFICE AUSTIN, Sept. 80, 1859.
Brevet Major General j. J. Reynolds, Commanding
Fifth Military DISTRICT
GRNERAL-The substance OF letter from yourself
TO President Grant has recently been published In
which opinions are expressed, concerning the two
parties IN Texas that call themselves republican,
which do not consider warranted by the course
that has been pursued by those parties, during the
progress OF reconstruction.
This letter endorses General Davis and his follow
ers who, whatever may be their present professions,
have heretofore made the most strenuous aud
factous efforts TO prevent the adoption or any con-
to induce Congress TO delay the reconstruction OF the
state. 1t condemns General Hamilton and his sup.
porters among whom are not less than eight ten!hs
OF the educated republicans OF the state, tnrough
whose influence constitution was adopted by the
Convention that secures to every cltlzen perfect
equality OF civil and political rights.
Since the date OF the letter referred TO the admin
istraton at Washington ID reported 10 nave removed
from office many of the republicans In Texas who
are supporting General Hamilton and filled their
places with supporters OF General DAVIS and II Is
now understood that the influence and patronage OF
the military commander OF this state and OF the ad-
minisration at Washington are being used In behalf
OF those republicans who have exerted themselves 10
delay and defeat the reconstruction OF the state and
against those republicans who have in good faith
used their influence to carry out It's reconstruction
strictly in accordance with the laws, and who have
succeeded In that object SO far as the measure has
been allowed to progress.
IL Is well known that was appointed to the posi-
tion occupy without being consulted. In accepting
IL was uuueHccu SOlely Dy utslte w siu III eu'iy
Ing out the policy OF Congress, which considered
to be the formation or constitution giving equal
civil ana political rights to all citizens, and to the
election OF officers who would administer II IN good
faith to secure that object have believed, Tor some
time past that the only mode OF doing this was rati
fyng the constitution and eectlng the ticket headed
by General Hamilton.
Under existing circumstances | am unwilling 10
become In any way responsible for the course being
pursued by the military commander and the admin.
fstraton at Washington. therefore respectfully
resign the once OF Governor OF Texas. Very re.
spectfully, your obedient servant,

NIILLIONAIRES COMPLETING MONU
MENTS
From the N. O. Republican.

From the NJ O. Republican.
The statement that the New York million
aire, William b. Astor, informed a company
of gentlemen at Saratoga the other day, that
he proposed completing the Washington
Monument at his own expense, brings to mind
the fact that a similar patriotic action was
done some thirty years ago by two wealthy gen
tlemen, in relation to the Bunker Hill Monu-
ment. Judah Touro, Esq, of New Orleans,
and Amos Lawrence, of Boston, each gave
that object $4,000, which enabled the asso-
citation to complete the monument according
to the original design. That work. like the
one at the nations capital had long stood ne
elected and unfinished, reproach to the city,
State, and country, when these two noblemen
of nature did what was more for men of their
comparatively limited means than would be
the completion of the large work at Washing
ton by Astor, with his enormously overgrown
fortune.
About the time Bunker Hill Monument was
completed, a festival was held, commemora-
tive of the event, and the names of Judah
Touro and Amos Lawrence were emblazOned
on a scroll upon the wall, while the President,
in mentioning their S2O,0 600 donation, gave
the following iines:-
"Amos and Judah, venerated names,
Pat. iarch and prophet press the equal claims;
Like generous Coursers running neck and neck,
Each aids the work by giving 1t a cheek.
CHRISTIAN ana jew, uley carry Out d pam
For though Of different faith, each IS in heart
man."
It may chance, however, that the portion
of the Washington Monument already built
will be torn down; the stones removed to
jefferson Barracks, near st. Louis, the future
central capital of the nation, and the monu-
ment there will be completed by Astor, whose
name will thus be handed down for centuries
in connection with a work which will COM
memorate nations freedom as well as its
enterprise and good taste.

IS THE REVOLUTION OVER?

From the Richmond Examiner,
Two spirits now rend the Republican partv
One urges it to hold its power by violence.
the other urges it to widen its foundations
by justice. One whispers that the revolution
is not over; the other gives the caution that it
is time to take in sail. Boutwell, believes
that the angry passions of the mob have not
yet spent themselves; Greeley believes that
it is best to call the dogs off. All, under the
fiery spur of old Thad. Stevens, finally agreed
to let in upon the South the Black Sea of
universal negro suffrage, under the idea that
that would hold in check the Southern vote:
but the extreme wing of the party is
not now clear that this will make a sure thine
of it. Thus Brownlow sought to harness
Tennessee by enfranchisement on the one
hand and disfranchisement on the other
Thus Wells urged upon the Reconstruction
Committee that he could not manage Vir-
ginia unless they would disfranchise 25, 900
Rebels Thus his party $4,000 of them)
voted to keep on the wrists of Virginia the
manacles of the test oath. Thus Boutwell,
wrote to Tennessee backing up the proscrp-
tive policy of Stokes These party leaders
would d150e the South into radicalism-drive
them with negro votes, and take care to have
a ma ajority of negro votes. Out of the Union
they would hold the South with the bayonet.
in the Union they must hold it with negro
