The Anderson intelligencer. [volume] (Anderson Court House, S.C.) 1860-1914, 1869-09-30

WAsHINGToF, September 25.-It is stated that
the President, on reading the accounts strongly
committing the Executive to interference in favor
of the extremists in Texas and Mississippi, said
to parties of his official household, that the re-
ports were not substantially true. The facts are,
that the President will allow the Secretaries to
act according to their pleasure in their several de-
pnrtments. This will throw the patronage of the
Post Office, Treasury and Attorney General for
the extremists; the State Navy, War and Interi-
or, if they interfere at ALL will favor the conserv-
ative Republicans. This rough statement of the
situation is the closest approximation possible.
The bes. opinion persists in asserting neutrality
in the highest quarters.
The agricultural report states, regarding corn,
that unless the close of the season should be
very favorable there must be $50, 900 bushels
less than a full crop. Regarding cotton, there
will be reduction in the yield of cotton from the
Carolinas to Alabama, and material increase
from Mississippi to Texas. Georgia, Florida and
South Carolina have suffered more mainly from
drought, in few localities from rust, the cater
pillar and boil worm. Our estimates make the
increase in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, re-
spectively, ten, twelve and fourteen per cent The
probabilities at present favor yield of 2750,000
bales. Wheat crop is large, quality in the South
decidedly superior.
Maj. Gen. Reynolds has addressed letter to
President Grant, dated September 4, in which,
after speaking. of political affairs in Texas, he
says the platform of the two wings Of the Reppb-
lcan party are the same. The radical wing
act out their professions of adherence to the re-
constructions laws of Congress. and present for
office men who are qualified under these laws
The conservative wing frequently nominate men
for Office who are known to be disqualified under the
reconstruction laws, but who are also known to
be acceptable to the Democrats. The success Of
the A. j. Hamilton faction, as will be produced by
Democratic votes, will be the defeat of Republi-
canism in Texas, and will put the State in the
hands of the very men who, during the entire Pc
riod of the rebellion, exerted every nerve to de-
stroy the Union and who have uniformly opposed
the reconstruction laws, with persistency worthy
of better cause.
WAsHrSaToN. September 26.-The Secretary of
the Treasury has authorized the Assistant Treasu-
rer at New York to sell Sl,OOOOOO of gold each
Tuesday and Friday till November l, commencing
on Tuesday next Also the purchase of $4,000,

chase on account of the sinking fund, which will
be continued without change of the existing mode.
The election in Mississippi is extended one day,
and will occur on the 30th Of November and 1st of
December.
WAsuIxeroN, September 27-General Williams,
VINO mas Deen uuue u Puoiie eh"ae'er, 'h eVnhee'
ton With the Senatorship is misrepresented. He
would accept the position as the choice of the peo-
ple of Virginia, but never represented himself as
the choice of General Grant. If General Williams
comes to the Senate, he desires to come as the
chosen representative of the legislators for Vir-
| ginia. -,
