The President has been severely censured by the Davis
party in Texas for continuing MajorGen l. Reynolds

full accord with the Hamilton wing, and expects TO be
sustained by 10 candidate for Senator SO the friends
OF Judge Dent charge that Gen. Ames is acuated by like
motives in his partisan action in removing those officials
in Mississippi who sympathlze with the Conservative
Republican movement in that State. The same Ideas
seem to prevail among the Walker party regarding Gen.
Canby's position the test oath in Virginia and they
assert that the great Reconstruction has Senatorial apra
lions which will eclipse the sharpe-Wells difficulty 1t is
not believed however that the President will be inu
enced to either of the commanders by any such
rumors, and certainly not Gen. Reynolds in whom the
President repOes the utmost confidence and satisfied
that such thought has ever occurred to him.
