Illegal Action Of the Board Of RevistrntIon.
NEW ORLEANS, Sept 30, 1858.
In the Senate yesterday the committee appointed
TO investigate the action OF the Board OF Regstra-
ton made report. The report says that the Board
OF Registers, OF which william Baker Is chairman,
has given instructions to the various Boaris OF su
pervlsors throughout the State that are wholly
unwarranted in theory and entirely beyond
the law; that their action in refusing to re-
cognze the naturalization papers from the Third
Fourth, Fifth. Sixth and Seventh District Courts
was wrong, the Board having no power to pass upon
the validity Of judicial act; and these instructions
deprive persons Of the benefit OF article ninety
OF the constitution, which deprivation Is unjust and
adopted.
General Bacons bill confning registrars within
the law was passed to the first reading and made the
special order for tomorrow.

game was what Ii known as the French carrom
game, and was one OF three hundred points for q
stake Of $500. The arrangements made for the
accommodation OF spectators were admirable,
as each shot made by the contestants during
the progress OF the game was plainly visible
to all present. The sporting fraternity mustered
pretty strong, and many noted IbillIardists were
present, including Philip TIeman, Of Cincinnati;
OConnor and others OF lesser note from this city.
In order to avoid any disputes there were no un-

Judge appointed. During the match the greatest
order and reguarity prevailed. the quiet which
ally broken by the applause which was always given
when either OF the contestants made good or re-
markable shot. The betting at the beginning Of the
match was in favor OF Foster at the rate Of 500 to
eighty dollars but as the play proceeded the odds in
creased and By the time the aftieth inning was
twenty dollars, with no takers 80"
The play calls for very few remarks, az from the
through. The lead was won BY Deery. who. how W.
also followed suit. IN the second inning Deery
in the third inning Foster scored nineteen against
Deery's three. From this point Foster gradually
drew away, and when the score was announced on
the eighteenth inning stood-Foster ST. Deery 81.
At the end OF the forteth inning was-F0ster 10s
Deery SO. At the end Of the sixtieth in

game, 1t was-Foster 300 Deery 1884, the former thus

by Foster. who scored forty In the forty INNING.
He also made runs OF nineteen sixteen fifteen thir.

Yesterday morning our citizens were startled by q

demolishing the engine and four cars and setting

oil consumed. Ten cars were burned to ashcs they
were loaded with nour and pork. The car next to

GenerM McSlellan and the Democracy.
The democracy Of this metropolis are pre-
pairing for grand ovation to General McClel-
Ian, who has just returned from Europe. 1t
is understood that the General intends to give
helping hand TO Seymour in Pennsylvania,
and the New York democracy, in this view,
have determined to give him the prestige of a
general turnout to welcome him home, and q
mighty procession OF the Mcclellan LegiODs to
give him cool start. The democracy seem
to entertain the idea that General Mcclellan Is
great favorite among ''the boys in blue, and
that his presence in Pennsylvania as sup
porter Of Seymour will have some considerable
influence among the soldiers in behalf Of the
democratic ticket. Doubtless General McClel-
Ian. as the democratic candidate, would have
made better run than Seymour; but his
military achievements against those of Grant
sink him into military failure. He was
great favorite with the old Army of the Poto-
mac; but that army lies buried in the grave
yards of McClelans disastrous Richmond
campaign and Pope's disastrous Ball Run cam
paign, and Hooker's and Burnside Rappahan-
mock campaigns, and at Antietam, Gettysburg
and in the Wilderness, &c. The soldiers of
the armies with which Grant crushed out the
rebellion are for Grant, and know very little
about Mcclellan, and SO we apprehend that
McClellan's contemplated Seymour campaign
among the ''boys in blue" in Pennsylvania will
amount to little or nothing. He represents
the unluoky period of the war-the period of
the defeats and disasters Of the Union armies
and so. against Grant, he is hardly the military
chieftain to reverse the drift of the popular
tide In this campaign. The New York demo-
Gratis Of the Manhattan Club may contemplate
another trial for ''Little Mac" in 1872 or 1876,
however, and in this view it may be well to
keep him before the people,
