liabla information than that tclc.
graphcd last night indicates that tho
Texas election will occur in August,
or ut least in time to allow the State
to DO represented at tho opening of
Congress.
Col. Boulds Baker, for Lieut.,
Governor remains hero in the inter

that both the Mississippi and Texas
questions will be held in allegiance
until after the Virginia election,

Tho Herald has tho following:
Major Con. w. II. Clark, ofpcxas, had
another long interview with Prcsi-
kent Grant to-day, regarding the
condition of affairs Of that State
Clark gave n very different state
ment from that laid before the Presi-
dent yesterday by Major Moore,
another gentleman from Texas, who
urged postponcmcnt tho election
until November, instead of during
August. Gen. Clark declared that
tho true policy to DO pursued was
to restore Texas and all tho States,
as soon as possible, consistent with
the interests of tho people of these
States He said August would be
the better time, because the people
would not then DO engaged in
gathering crops and because it
would enable the State to be repre-.
scented in tho Congress to assemble
in December; besides so much soon
err restoring the blessings of civil
government. ..
Tho President questioned Gen.
Clark very closely as to the alleged
outragcs prevaiingin Texas, and was
informed that though disorders oc-
CURED thorg as in other Southern
States, still the general condition of
affairs was satisfactory. The reports
of outrages and violence were gross
~ exaggerated, and he had no
doubt that tho restoration of civil
government would prove remedy
all sufficient. - i'-H o'f
The policy of some of the politi.
clans in Texas seemed to be some
thing like putting Spanish flies on
old sorcs-instead of trying to con-
cilate, they did everything in their
power to feed the prejudices of the
unrcconstructed elcment.
President Grant, toward the close
Of the interview seemed much i'm
pressed with the statements of Gen.
Clark, and remarked that he would
do all in his power to restore Texas
and Mississippi with as littlo delay
as consistent with the true interests
of the people. i
WAsuINGroN, May 22.-Thc Presi-
dent stated to Judge Paschal, who
called in behalf of Gov. Pease of
Texas, that the time for holding the |
election in Texas and Mississippi
would not be decided until after the
election in Virginia. He thought
the best time would be between the
laying by of the crops and COM
meneement of the picking season.
Paschal suggested that the first
Monday in August had always been
the election day in Texas. The
President said he should direct
Reynolds to proceed with his work
and would consider the matter after
the Virginia election. lie said he
had mentioned the first Monday in
November to Major Moore, but
would probably suggest an earlier
day. Tho President had been in
formed by gentlemen, upon whom
he had much reliance, that tho di-
visions in the Union party would
be healed and he hoped so.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-Noon.-
The Cabinet desires that the cleo
tons in Mississippi and Texas shall
occur sufficiently carly to allow re-
representatives. TO present themselves
at tho opening of Congress.
