CHICAGO, July II.
A New Orleans special says under the new
order of Gen. Sheridan the registration is
progressing feebly, and with no animation.
More whites are being registered in propor>
ton to the blacks at present than heretofore.
A generalization of reports at headquarters
shows that cut of III, 1874 persons registered
in Louisiana, there have been only 81, ,428
whites against "a, l1G blacks.
The Wilderness left New Orleans yester>
day morning, having on board Madame Juas
rez, Senior Romero, brother of the Mexican
Minister and bearer of important dispatches
to President Juarez, Senior Ssntatillo, lin
law of the President, and others. Mr.. Rob
nson, Of the New Orleans Republican, and
Emile Lazeree, an ex- Confederate, at one
time an agent of Maximilian and Of the Te-
hauntepec Railroad grant notoriety, were the
bearers of United States dispatches, so
often and so mysteriously alluded to. Laze-
rec, it is said. is still in the interest Of the
railway scheme and represents Marshall o.
Roberts, of New York, in securing that which
Santa Anna failed to secure for want of pow.
er to fulfil his obligations.
