THE PRESIDENT ON THE MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.
A prominent Conservative Republican from
Mississippi, who had an interview with the
President on Thursday in regard to political
ahaIrs in that State, Informed the President
that the only desire of the people was neutral
ity on the part of the Administration in the
approaching elections. The President is rem.
resented as replying that he wished for the
services of the party which would in good
faith carry out the reconstruction acts, ratify
the 10Th article of the amendment to the Con-
stltutlon and give protection to life and prop
erty in Mississippi He wanted to know
whether the former enemies of the Govern
ment were acting in good faith in their present
professions of loyalty, and said this would be
soon ascertained in part by the action of the
Conservative Republicans in Virginia. If they
were acting in good faith he would be glad 10
have not only the intelligence and influence
OF that State but of the South generally in
support of his Administration The Presi.
dent inquired at what time the Conserva-
tive Republicans would nominate their can
didates, and when informed that it would
probably be about the 1st of September, he re-
Piled that he would see what kind of ticket
they would put in the field, and his action
would be influenced more or less by subse-
quent events and the course of affairs in the
South. He added that he desired to see the
payment of the public debt secured and the
integrity and honor of the nation rendered in
violate, and when this was accomplished, he
would be satisfied.
