he was in the right. He says he does no
| want foreign mission, and will not have
one; and that he would be nothing to re-
lieve Boutwell, of any sensitiveness he
{ may feel. If the President wants him tc
leave the Internal Revenue Bureau, his
successor must be named, for he will take
no intimation.

natl.

The Japanese CiviIizer.
Gen. CaprOn and party will leave Wash
ington Monday for Japan, by way of
San Francisco.
The Cotton Outlook.
The July returns do not materially
change the cotton crop prospects reported
in June. Several rain storms have con-
tinued to obsuuct the cultivation and
check the growth in the States upon the
| gulf coast. The States of louisiana,
Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, average
lower in condition than at the date of
last report. The Georgia and Texas av-
erages remain unchanged and improve
ment is indicated in the Carolinas, Ten
nessee and Arkansas.
While no estimates can at this early
date be made, this Information leads to
the following conclusion: There is g re
ductiOn of IA per cent. in acreage. With
a continuance of the present relatively
low condition and with a season as long
as that of 1870, there should be gathered
crep of $500, 600 bales, or about as
large as that of 1869. With season of
average length, $4,000 bales. With
an early frost and very unfavorable sea-
son for picking, 2, zoo, 600 bales. The pre-
TaIEBCe or iy,svvts--.sla Utlle-~-SzJS-,--' a.,
circumstances would pIVUaGly reduce the
the crop to 2, 500, 900 bales, and q steady
Improvement of the plant for sixty days,
with the longest and most favorable
picking season, might carry the aggregate
up to $500, 900 bales.
This is presented as fair statement Oh
the range of probabilities, based upon
extensive and reliable data, and unintil-
enced by the clamors of spectators on
the cotton exchange.
Jesse's Grandson.
Lieut.. Grant, who graduated al West
Point last month, arrived here yesterday.
He has leave of absence until October,
and will spend the time on the Union Pa
cific road, turning his attention to practi-
cal engineering. He has been offered the
the pOsition as civil engineer on that road,
snd should he like the position, will re-
sign his commission in the army and enter
upon civil life.
Catching a Tartar.
Il is now believed at the Interior De-
partment that Cochiz, great war Chief
who has refused several invitations to
visit Washington, will be here before
many weeks, though ct what precise time
| is not stated. The authorities seem anXl-
Gus that this notorious Indian warrior
shall have an opportunity TO state his
grievances in person to the Government
| officers here.
Ku-KIuN Testimony.
i II g Eaprrio Suhn
was examined yesterday before the Ku-
! Klux Committee 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 blaCkman dominate the white
race. | would not stand security for the
people Of the South if they should ever
have chance to free themselves from
such q 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 the excitement and
animosities engendered by the war, and
have an abiding faith in the return OF
reason, which time will serve to produce,
and that the calm sense of the country
will be. exerted to bring about state
feeling and fraternity between the people
| of the country which nothing else will
ever produce, and to which the present
management can never contribute.
Testimony OF Georgia Radical Of
ficials.
DIR. Angler, Treasurer of Georgia, In
his statements before the Ku-Klux Com
mittee to-day, presented facts and figures
against Gov. Bullock. Disavowing po-
hIical OF pension views he said the Gov
ernor had violated the plain letter of the
law in many instances, including the
issuing of the new State bonds and his
effort TO conceal the amount, and his dis
nosition of them. The witness said he
knew nothing of the Ku Klux, except
| from rumor and newspaper report, never
having TO his knowledge seen one. lie
Thought laWlessness had exhibited itself
in some sections of Georgia as 1t did at
times in every State and probably always
would. He could not say how far 1t had
been political, but concluded that II was
such in some sections, and that men potn
white and black were now making up ols'
guises for private gam and personal le-
yenge. and boys for mischief. he re
garded it as a wonder that the people are
as quiet and peaceable as they are with
corrurtions and terrib e plundeIings, and
over three hundred pardOns by the GOV
, e1nor. A large portion of them for muir
p der, and in some cases before trial.
4 There is no such thing as general dis
/ turbauce, and neva has been. Many ne
e groes and some whites are addicted to
n stealing and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and this has
caused disturbance and violence in come
localities. If individual accounts are true,
n there is a terrible state of affairs in Ger
q tain neighbOrhoods. He thought, how
ever, that the pictures were overdraWn
az they have been proved to be in mos
cases, aud in some entirely false. Injured
