from the President, through Brevet Major

tant General, United States army, directing
me to extend the registration 10 this city

some good reasons to the contrary, and Or
dering me to report such reasons for his in
formation, Also stating that, in his judg-
ment, this extension is necessary to a fall
and fair registration, and that the time
should be thus extended because the other
district commanders will not get tarough
before that time.
My reasons for closing the registration
IN this city were because had given the
city two and half months, and there were
no more 10 register. / have given the
State two and half months, and registra-
ton will be exhausted by that time.
| did not feel warranted in keeping up
boards of registration at large expense to
suit new issues coming in at the eleventh
hour.
The registration will be completed in
Louisiana at the time specified, unless | am
ordered TO carry out the Law under Mr..
Stanberry's Interpretation, which practical
ly, in registration, is opening a broad ma
cadamized road for perjury and fraud to
travel on.

be dependent on the time when other dis
trict commanders set through. l have
given more time for the registration of Lou

commands; for commenced six weeks be-
fore they did.

antagonism.

tended, please notify me and it will be done

THE FOURTH WARD POLL LIsT-The
poll list Of the fourth ward, now at the
Office at the Registration Commissioner in
this city has only 33l names, while 555
votes were cast in that ward in the March
election, 1865. A cotemporary yesterday
morning stated that the names of the voters
were ali TO be found on the poll list until
the machinery of the first franchise law
was about to be put in operation. This, it
would seem, is mistake, as it was asserted
by a prominent liadical yesterday, that the
poll fist, with the whole $50 names, was in
the Office of the Commissioner only two
weeks ago, and that the scattered pages OF
the list were fastened together at that time
by Radical now in high position in this
city, who was afterwards rebuked by an
attache Of the Registration Office for thus
contributing several hundred votes TO the
Conservative strength. We also heard il
asserted that Secretary Fletcher had nothing
whatever to do with the mysterious disap-
pearance of the names.

There was a notable improvement in the dry
goods trade last week. both in the domestic.
commission, and importing line. There is
good business doing also in general foreign mer-
chandise. the entries of which for the week were
over i've million dollars. The new entries of
foreign dry goods continue light. and some
descriptions of goods are becoming scarce.
though we hear that the preparations for the
fall trade are quite general, and We anticipate
about as large a July importation as last year
If there Is no accident to the harvest 1t may
prove even heavier.
There is much steadiness in the rates Of in
terest on money loans to brokers and on prime
merchant paper, and the recent liquidations at

waite lenders, and the Trust Insurance and Coal
Companies. and the dividend disbursements in
July will largely increase the supply. The cur
Tency disbursements Of the week past from the
Treasury Office and the receipts by express
from the interior. have added about i've mill
lions of dollars to the greenbacks held in bank.
The Import entries for the past week
amount to S. 366 ll2, against the total entries of

by the poetic flowers gathered from the

we thought proper to give the orphans Of this

we have done for the last two weeks. And
again, ds it is sometimes the custom of giving
premiums, such as watches, etc, and haTing
proof of the last two weeks business that the
citizens of Nashville appreciate our efforts TO
help the needy, we have therefore concluded TO
give ten per cent: of our profit to the poor of
Nashville, from the LIST day of April. 1867 up to

will be RENTED weekly to the Mayor of Nash
