HE ORDER ABOUT REGIsTRAT1oN.-We
published, yesterday, Gen. Schofield'a order
about Registration. 1t seems, according to
those who have examined the subject, that The
order differs materially from the recent opinion
of Attorney General SIanbery. The Richmond
Enquirer says
at adheres to the scheme Of challengers to
dispute applications TO register, and it requires
the Board 10 decide for admission or rejection
after examining the applicant and hearing the
witnesses Mr., Stanbery held that the Board
has no authority TO hear evidence, and that
no one can be refused registry who offers to
take the oath, thus making The citizen The
Judge Of his own qualifications. Gen Schoileld
makes the Board the judge with plcnary
powers.
Gen. SchnGell's order requires the Boards
to reject from registry some whom the Attor-
ney General declared entitled TO register, and
others as to whom the latter withheld his
oninion for further examination. Ofoficers Of
The law in connection with State and munich
pal affairs, he rejects under certain conditions,
Judycs of hustings courts, the principal NUM-
cipal officers of cities and towns, inspectors,
and others: whom MIR. Stanbery allows; and he
rejects also Justices Of the Peace and Coro-
pers, as to whom Mr.. Stanbery hesltates.-
A single class which was rejected ny Mr.
Stanbery against his own argument, appears to
be allowed by Gen. Schofeld, the members OF
constitutional conventions.
Gen. Schofelds Order is also much strIcter
than the Attorney Generals, in regard to
Conscript service, as being in technical aid OF
the war.
