HEADQUARTERS FIFTH MILITARY DISTRICT, 1
 NEW ORLEANS, June p, 1867.
 Gen. U. s. GRANT, Washington.
 GENERAL: l am ill receipt of 8 telegram from the President, through Brevet Major Gen. Townsend, Adjutant- General United States Army, directing me to extend the registration in this city and State until August 1, unless have some good reasons to the contrary, and ordering me to report success and such reasons for his informa- tion, and elso stating that in his judgment this extension is necessary to full and fair registration, and that the time should be thus extended because other district com manders will not get through before that time. My reasons for closing registration in this city were because had given the city two and half months, and there were no more to register. I have given the State two and half months and registra- tion will be exhausted by that time. I 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 l am ordered to carry out the law under MT. Stanberry's interpretation, which practically in regis tration is opening a broad macadamized road for perjury and fraud to travel on. I do not see why my registration should be dependent on time when other district commanders get through. I have given more time for the registration of Louisia- na chan they propose to give in their com mands, for I commenced six weeks before they did. regret that should have to differ with the President, but it must be recollected that I have been ordered to execute law to which the President has been in bitter antagonism. If after this report the time be extended, please notify, and it will be done. I would do it at once but the Presidents telegram was condi tional, and there is sufficient time left to issue the necessary orders.

Etheridge and Brownlow.

The Nashville Union and Dispatch hangs
a pair of portraits thus:
While Mr.. Etheridge was Drawing the flu
ry of southern sectionalism, Mr.. Brownlow
was pestilent agitator and panderer to its
purpose to maintain and extend slavery.
While Etheridge was voting to denationalize
slavery, Brownlow was preaching its divinity,
and prophesying its eternal duration as
thing ordained by God. In 1861, when Eth
eridge was an exile from home, and engaged
in exhorting the falling courage of the gov
eminent after the battle of Manassas, Brown.
low was at home, damning Mr.. Lincoln with
faint praise, and roaring gently as a sucking
dove to General Zollicoffer, of the confederate
army. Mr.. Etheridge never uttered line of
threat against the Union, either in its dark
est or brightest hours he was an avowed an
ti-slavery man before the war; he prophesied
its destruction as consequence of the con-
fict; he maintains that result and all its
concomitants, as natural and legitimate.
Mr.. Brownlow's record teens with threats to
the government and dared it to interfere
with slavery; and, as late as October, 1865, in
his official message as governor, he consigned
the freedmen to deportation out of the coun-
try, or political slavery in it. If the Tribune
does not know these things in regard to Mr..
Brownlow, it can find them on record.

there was an importation. of English girls
with sunny mountain gorge of hair on their
heads, and eyes that were blue and calm
and perilously deep. The Egyptian was de-
serted, and there was a rush for the English
restaurant. Young men of susceptible tenn
peraments could be seen with sandwich in
one hand, and glass of pale ale in the 9th
er, planting the seeds of early suicide, and
signing sadly between each distracted mouth
ful. Presently came the Hollanders with
astonishingly high dresses, both in the re-
gion of the neck and of the ankles, and a
great casque of gold fastened to their heads,
and a vast quantity of light muslin in unex-
pected places. The novelty was irresistible,
until the Bavarians produced a superior ar
tiele, and commanded the tickle patronage
of the gallant world. The struggle at pres
ent is between the beauties of the Bavarian
bar and those of Vienna. In the halls of
the latter is dazzling creature supposed to
come from the Tyrol, and dressed in the
picturesqe costume OF that land--a distract
ing emanation of bad taste and fine needle
work. The Russian department, for a mo-
ment, is under a cloud. The competition
has been too rapid. But the fair Russe-I

The long list of noble soldiers rejected by
the senate, for no other reason in the world
except that they were not radicals, has eff
fectually exploded the idea that the radical
party is the friend of the soldiers. The
President attempted, in good faith, to carry
out the professed purpose of the party, to
bestow office on soldiers but the senate re-
fused to second his endeavor, rejecting by
the score, meritorious soldiers whom he had
nominated. Such practical facts are worth
more than any amount of empty profession.
1t is clear illustration of the hypocrisy and
cant which radicalism knows so well how to
use. The radicals, after the soldiers return
ed from the war, wanted their votes; there
fore the leaders of the party held out the
idea, which was often embodied in resolu-
tions OF party meetings, that all the valuable
civil Offices should be bestowed upon the
soldiers, as meritorious reward for the serv
ices they had rendered and the sacrifices
they had made. A great MANY sold;erstooh

end secured, the leaders, scarcely any of
whom were in the war, had accomplished
their object. They had got the soldiers

how to use them and their votes to the best
advantage. As to rewarding them with Of

and acted the part of spies and pimps at a

the systematic cant and hypocrisy which
