WASHINGTON, September 20.
Texas Politics.


The destruction of the Hamilton par
ty in Texas, by the Administration, is
steadily going forward. Since the re-
turn of the President he has received a
letter from General Reynolds to the
effect that in his belief the election of
Hamilton would destroy the Republican
party in Texas, and.throw obstacles in
the way of the peatbfua reconstruction
of that State. The letter confirms the
statements to the President recently
made by General Clark. 1t appears,
that ali the Hamilton ofice-holders are
to be succeeded by Davis men.
Removals and Appointments.
]. G. Tracy, Chairman of the DAVIS
Republican Committee, was on Friday
appointed Postmaster at Houston, IN
place of Samuel Harper, Houston man.
Swartz Palen was also appointed Post
master at Austin, vice De Normandy

beep agreed upon, and will be made In
a day or two. Also, new Collector Oh

Politicians ,FIocking TO the City.
The return of the President, and the
presence of the Cabinet, have brought
to the city large number of politicians
and Office. seekers, and the hotel Hobbies
are again quite full.
Case of Major Hnggoriy.
Major Haggerty, whose exequator
the British Government refused to give
as United States Consul to Glasgow,
has arrived here. He says that the
British Government merely declined to
receive him, and assigned no reason for
it, but he will undertake to prove that
the refusal was on account of bis hav-
ing been charged with Fenianism. This
Government did not insist that Hag-
perty should be received by England,
as each Government reserves to itself
the right to refuse or to grant exequa-
tors.
Encouraging Advices from Cubn.
Advices through the Cuban blockade
have been received here of discour-
aging character to the revolutionists.
They say that two Cuban Generals had
been assassinated, which compelled
Cespedes to take command of the army.
Serious trouble was apprehended with
the American element in the Cuban
army. They say the assassination OF
General Marcano has caused want OF
confidence in the Cuban. The New
York Lemus Junta is blamed i'll Cuba
by Americans who have gone there I'M
der its auspices and promises.

as heretofore stated, that the negotia-
tions for a mediation had been finally
declined, it was agreed that there was
nothing to warrant any particular cen.
sure of Sickles.
The contents of his note, which
caused so much irritation in Spain, are
still unknown here in detail. Nothing
was said about the recognition of Cuba,
beyond the expression that the news in
town to-day was adverse to the revolu-
tiOnists.
Boutwell, 4 xplaius.
Secretary Boutwell, stated the finan-
cial situation, aud said that just before
the Cabinet met he had, in response to
appeals from men of high mercantile
standing in New York issued an order

down the extraordinary premium on
gold ruling in the early part of the day.
