that altitude, steep g:adts or necessities of

TIE CASCADE MOUNTAINS.
The continuous range of mountains
known as the Sierra Nevada in California,
bears the name Of Cascade Range through
Oregon, Washington and British Column
bia. The name originates from the nu-
mcrous beautiful cascades which pour from
every crcyicc, at every height, and some
times even from the top of the steep bluff
sides of the gorge in the mountains through
which tho mighty Columbia forces its
way to pour its volume of water into the
Pacific Ocean. With the exception of
the lofty snow peaks, Rainier, St. Hclcns,
Baker aud Adams, but few points in this
Territory attain al elevation above the
snow-linc, about 5000 feet. Estimates
have been made of the altitude of several
Of these peaks, hut they have either d.
minished in height Or else were overmeas-
ured. The humiliation of the lofty Mt.
Hood by barometric measurement to two.

t. The Radical papers all over the
coast assert that the California election
was lost simply because Of tho division in
their ranks. This assumption, however
plausible it may appear at irst view, is
not substantiatcd by the figures. If this
DO true, why is it that the part ofthc Rad
ical ticket upon which there was no divis-
ion is likewise defeated? How does it
appear that the Democratic ticket received
more votes than were cast BY both the 9TH
or parties combined? The Bulletin gives
the true cause, as follows: at is undoubt-
eddy true that many Democratic voters,
who acted with the Union party through
the war, under pressure Of public opinion
and patriotic convictions, have this year
felt themselves at liberty to return to their
old affiliations, more especially as they
never have been Republicans and have had
their race prejudiccs aroused by the Con-
gressional policy" This is the truth in a
nutshell.

Gen. Rawlins, who is Grants Chief of Staff
and is supposed to speak the sentiments of his
superior addressed the citizens of Galena ON
Friday last. The Western papers give on alb
stract OF his remarks, part of which we sub
join. If the Argus likes the platform aud can
still 60 on lauding Grant as it recently has, we
congratulate it upon supporting better man
and better principles than it ever has before in
the whole course of its existence. After ap-
proving the civil rights bill and negro suffrage.
Gen. Rawlins (for self and Grant, commits
himself to the support of the radical policy,
thus:
That the constitutional amendment propos-
ed by the last Congress was an indispensable
necessity created by the war; that Congress
did right in proposing it, and In making its
ratification prerequisite of the recognition of
any government in the rebel States. That the
amendment in all its parts,-the declaration of
citizenship, the limitation of representation to
the national debt, the reputation of the rebel
debt the disfranchisement Of those rebels who
had added Official perjury to treason. wis
wise and just, and Of its necessity there can
be no doubt.
That the reconstruction acts of the last Con-
gress were the result of wise exercise of the
unquestionable power of the law-makinR
braneh OF the government; that the military
provisions OF the acts are no more violations
of liberty than the employment of the army
for the suppression of the rebellion and that
the South must accept tine situation fully and
unreservedly.

from the President, through Brevet Major
General Townsend, Adjutant General United
States army, directing me to extend the regis
tration in this city and State until August
unless have some good reasons to the contra
ry, and ordering me to report success and such
reasons for his Information, and also stating
that in his Judgment this extension is necessa-
ry to full and fair registration, and that the
time should thus be extended because other
district commanders will not get through be-
fore that time.
MY reasons for closing registration in this
city were because had given the city two and
half months, aud there were no more to reg
isteI. have given the State two aud half
months, and registration will be exhausted by
that time. / did MT feel warranted in keeping
up boards of registration at large expense t.
suit new issues coming in at the eleventh hour.
The registration will be completed in Louisi-
ana at the time specified, unless L am ordered
TO carry out the law under Mr.. Stanbery's IN
terpretation, which practically, III egIstratlon,
is opening broad macadamized ROAD Tor per-
jury to travel ON.
do not see why my registration should be
dependent on the time when other district
oommonders get thgough. / have given more
time for the registration of Louisiapa than
thew nropose to give to their commands for
commenced six weeks before they did. l re-
orst fbat I should have to differ with the Pres
iient. but it must be recollected that L have
been ordered to execute law TO which the
President has been in bitter antagonism.
n after this report, the time is to be extend
ed, please notify and 1t will be done. 1 would
do il at once, but the Presidents telegram was
conditional, and there is sufficient time lett to
issue the necessary orders.
