TREASURY AND REVENUE MATTERS.
NEW YORK, July 14.-The Tri6t9ae's
Washington correspondent telegraph
ed last night that there was the best
authority tOr the report that the In
terual Revenue muddle was settled
yesterday while Secretary Boutwell,
was at Long Branch, by the appoint
ment of ]. w. Douglass deputy COM
missioner, to be commissioned In
place of General PleasantOn. The ap-
pOintment win be made public in q
day or two. General Pleasanton put
an end yesterday to all conjecturing
as to his course. In conversation in
regard to reports current here, he said
that he did not intend to resign; be-
lieved he was in the right. he says
that he does not want foreign mis-
sion and viii not have one, and that
he would do nothing to relieve Bout
well of any sensltiveness he may feel.
If the President wants him to leave
the Intervals Revenue bureau his
successor must be named, for he viii
take no intimation.
THE TREASURER OF GEORGIA BEFORE
THE KU-KLUx COMMITTEE.
DR.. Angler, Treasurer Of the State
OF Georgia, in his statements before
the. .Ku-Klux Committee to-day, pre-
sented the facts and figures against
Governor Bullock, disavowing polit-
ical or partisan views: He said the
Governor had violated the plain letter
of the law in many instances, includ-
ing the issuing of the new State bonds
and his effort to conceal the amount
and his disposition of them. The DR..
said that he knew nothing of the Ku-
kluX except from rumOr and news
paper reports, never having to his
knowledge seen one. He thought
that laWlessness had exhibited
itself in some sections, as it did
at times in every State, and probably
always would. He could not say how
far it had been political, but concluded
it was such in the same sections, and
that the men, both white and black,
were now making use of disguise for
private gain and personal revenge,
and boys for mischief. He regarded
it as a wonder that the people are as
quiet and peaeeable as they are, with
corruptiOns and terrible plunderings,
and over 300 pardons by the Governor,
a large portion for murder, in some
cases before that. There is no such
| thing as general disturbance and never
has been. Many negroes and some
whites are addicted to stealing and
licentiOusness, and this has caused
disturbance and violence. In some To-
cations, ii individual accounts are
true, there is a terrible condition Of
affairs in certain neighborhoOds. He
thought, however, that pictures were
overdraWn, as they have been proved
| to be in most cases, and in some entire
~ false. The injured and interested
parties were apt to give extravagant
accounts, and with unprincipled men
this was a cheap and convenient way
of making political capital and in
ducing large rewards, made up for
show cases. He thought the State
courts sufficient to restrain lawless-
ness if the Governor would cease his
wholesale pardOning. The rights of
the negro were safer in the hands of
upright, intelligent white jurors than
in negro jurors in the present condi-
ton of that race.
Judge a. r. Wright, of Georgia,
who was examined yesterday before
the Ku-KluX Commissioners, said:
''If the people of the South can be
made to believe that the people Of the
North will never retrace their steps
on negro suffrage, and will perpetuate
their efforts to make the black man
dominant, the white race would not
stand security for the people Of the
South, if they should ever have Il
chance to free themselves from such a
state of things; but there need be no
fear of further rebellion. The South
ern people believe the present state of
things grows out of excitement and
animOsity engendered by the war, and
have an abiding faith in the return OF
reason, which time will serve to pro-
duce, and with that calm sense the
country will be exerted to bring about
a state of feeling and fraternity be-
tween the people of the country
which nothing else will ever produce,
and to which the present management
can never contribute"
Edward G. Anderson, ex- Mayor of
Savannah, was also examined. He
said that the condition of Georgia at
the present time was law-abiding and
peaceful, and that Savannah was the
most peaceful city in the country. On
being asked if the people of that State
were loyal, he replied that he regard
ed loyalty as a devotion to maintain
the law, and In this the people were
essentially loyal; they were not hos
tile to the government, but opposed
to the admi nistratiOn as illustrated in
the officers sent there to represent it;
he did not know Of the existence OF
gny Ku-Klux organization; a general
amnesty would be beneficial in every
respect; the sentiment toward North
ern men is kindly in the extreme ;Ithe
people wanted Northern men to set
tie among them; many are already
there. and all comers from that sec
tion are received in the most kindly
spirit.
THE COTTON CROP.
The July returns do not materially
change the cotton prospects reported !
in June. Severe rain storms have |
continued to obstrvct cultivation and
check the growth in States upon the |
Cult coast. The States of Mississippi, |
Alabama and Florida average lower |
in condition than at the last report. |
The Georgia and Texas averages re-
main unchanged, and an Improve
ment is indicated In the Carolinas,
Tennessee and Arkansas, while no |
estimates can, at this early date, be /
made. This information leads to the /
following conclusions: with reduc-
ton of fourteen per cent. in the aver
age. q continuance Of the present /
relatively low condition, and the sea-
son as long as that Of 1870,
there should be gathered 8 crop
of very nearly 3,200, 600 bales,
or about as large as that of 1859;
with season of average length, q
800. 900 bales; with an eariy frost and
a very unfavOrable seas III fOrpicking,
2, 200, 900 bales. A prevalence OF in
sects, with other unpropitious circum-
stances, would probably reduce the
crop to 2,5O0,O00 bales, and steady
Improvement In this plant for sixty |
days, with the longest and most fa-
vOrable picking season, might carry
the aggregate up to $500, 600 bales.
This is presented Rs fair statement
within the range of probabilities,
based upon extensive and valuable
data and influenced by clamOrous
spectators Of the Cotton Exchange.
SHALL KENTUCKY BE PAID HER WAR
EXPENSES.
The question Of the right of the
State Of Kentucky to the payment of
money that was advanced in equip
ping soldiers viii receive early atten-
tion by Boutwell,. 1t is believed by
the agents here that the delay which
has occurred will in no respect detract
from the rights or interest OF theState
Of Kentucky.
