REGISTRATION IN LOUISIANA.
Full Returns from all the Parishes An
Klectlon to be Ordered at Unce.
Full returns lrom all the parishes la Louisi
ana, of the number of voters registered, while
and black, have been received at headquarters.
We are Indebted to the courtesy of Colonels
Forsyth and Gentry for a tabular statement of
the same. The total number registered la
127,63!); whites, 44,732; blacks, 82,007. The whites
fcftve very small majorities In ten parishes, to
wit: Calcnsleu, Jackson, Lafayette, Livingston,
Orleans, Hablue, Union, Vermilion, Wasulng
ton, and Winn. In New Orleans the registry is
14,845 whites to 14,805 blacks.
Colonel Oentry and his associates are busily
engaged in redisricting the (State, a work of
considerable difficulty. The average number
of voters to each representative in the Consti
tutional Convention Is 1302. As soon as the
districts are settled upon. General Sheridan
will issue an order for the election of members
to the Convention. This order will not In all
probability be delayed longer than twenty-four
hours. iV. O. Times, 11 ih .
TENNESSEE.
The New Delegation to Congress.
Nashville, Tenn., August 9. Governor
Browulow's niujorlly will approximate 50,000.
We send a full radical delegation to Congress.
The Legislature elected is overwhelmingly radi
cal. Not one conservative In the Senate, and
three or four In the House; and, of course, a
radical, probably General W. B. Stokes, will be
elected to fill the piece now not very creditably
occupied by Mr. Patterson, son-in-law of the
President. With the members of Congress re
turned by this election, Messrs. Maynard, Ar
Zell, and Stokes, the pubiio are well acquainted.
Of the new members John Trimble Is by far
the ablest. He belongs to the aristocracy of the
boutb, is a mtn of liberal culture, high social
position, and of considerable wealth. He Is
deeply read In German philosophy, cherishes
the most liberal views ot society and religion,
and Is regarded as a "philosopher." He made
some very bitter speeches during the canvass,
but his nature is generous, and it is hoped that
in his present high position all classes of his
fellow-citizens not exoepting the late Rebels
Will share the benefits of hlsmoderatecounsels.
James Mulllnp, of the Fifth Distnot, Is a most
Singular man, and be will make numerous
sensations in Congress. Of his sterling devo
tion of the Union and the radical party no one
ever entertained a doubt. This is his chief
merit. He is about fllty years of age, has the
appearance of a hard-working blacksmith, Is a
terribly earnest man, pays no more regard to
critical Ecglfch than to criticizing Rebels, and
speaks on all occasions, and during all the
time allowed. All the boys say: "Hurrah for
Mullinsr 1. A. Nunn, of the Eighth District,
who takes the place of Leftwlch, is a plausible,
courteous, sensible young man a lawyer by
profession. He will make a good, quiet repre
sentative. R. R. Butler, ol the First District, Is
tall, lean, grey-eyed, cold, and Scotch-looking.
On the whole, our delegates to Congress will De
talented, respectable, and interesting.
Vote of Tennessee.
ThA vote for Governor In Tennessee at the
last election is footed up by the Nashville Press
as follows: East Tennessee, Etherldge, 2703;
Urownlow, 24,055. Middle Tennessee, Etherldge,
8389; Brown low, 27,744. West Tennessee, Elhe
rldge.6812; Brownlow, 13,572. "Loyal Militia."
Brownlow, 94. Total tor Etherldge, 17,994;
Brownlow, 66,361. Brownlow's majority, 48,308.
The radical vote is as large as that ever cast for
any party previous to the war.
The Crops and Weather at the South.
Mobile, August 19. Old factors here who are
In correspondence with most of the cotton
States put down the crop of the present year at
two and a half to two and three-quarter mil
lions of bales. The Alabama crop Is doing finely.
The receipts of cotton at this port during the
coming year (out of the new crop) are estimated
at four hundred thousand bales.
The grain crop of the South this year will be
more than sufficient for Its wants.
Card front General J. B. Mag-ruder.
To the Editor of the N. Y. Times.
So many misrepresentations have been lately
made regarding me, that I deem it right to say
that 1 was not at the Stock Exchange with
General Beauregard or with any one else; that
I do not know where that Institution Is; that I
did my duty in attempting to keep up the
spirits of the troops under my command until
my commanding officer had decided to sur
render; that by the terms of that surrender, the
commissioned omoers of the Trans-Mlsslsslppl
Department were allowed to seieot their resi
dences within or without the limits of the
United States.
I will further state that upon the surrender of
the Trans-Mlsslsslppl Department, I published
an order probably the last of the war con
demning In the strongest terms the formation
of guerilla parties, and urging all to support the
laws and obey the orders of the United States
authorities with an honest, zealous, and loyal
BPForther, I sent my staff and luggage openly
by a sblp-of-war, courteously placed at my ser
vice by the United States naval commanding
officer at Galveston, and would probably have

TEE NATIONAL GAME.
Athletic, of Philadelphia, vs. Union, of
Morrlsaula.
The home-and-home game between those clubs
was played yesterday afternoon ou the Union
grounds, Brooklyn, E. D., in the presence ot
some three or four thousand spectators, aod
proved to be a very good "mutfin" game on
the Union side and a rather tame display
of strength on the Athletic Bide. The only
ones who did themselves Justice on the Union
eide were Beals and Austin. Each of the others
Indulged In beautiful wild throwing and hand
some and delicate 'niuuV The Athletics, al
though playing a steady game.did not bat or fleld
at all up to their standard. Mr. Flanlcy.as umpire,
was undoubtedly Impartial j but he gave again
several ot those "no strike" rulings which have
lately been imported from "out West." It was
asserted that the "no strike" Is an old rule. It
must be 60 very old that the Printing Committee
forgot it. Perhaps Mr. President Gorman could
be Induced to ascertain that there was an error
in printing rule twenty-one, and that the "no
strike" belongs to It. Why a ball hit by the
striker while not standing on the line of his
position should not be a foul ball and be gov
erned as such, just as well as it can bo termed
"no strike," is a question to be settled. Now a
plriker may make "no strikes" until he has
learned the range of the pitching without the
fearof being put out; but 1f it were declared
foul he would run the risk of being out on the
fly or on the bound, and jeopardize his fellows
rurming the bases. The ruling on this occasion,
as on a former one, was, to say the least,
supremely absurd.
'ihe score of the game is as follows:

General Grant's Position.
The Albany Evening Journal, discussing the
Grant question, says:
"To argue from General Grant's reticence that be Is
not to be trusted, seemB to us entirely unwarranted.
It 1b a personal characteristic, hilly as commendable as
the Inslucere loquacity so frequently found In public
men."
If this Implies only that a General-in-Chief
of our armies may probably evince "reticence"
with regard to our ourrent politics, we entirely
agree with It. We Justify even greater "reti
cence" than was evinced by General Grant
when, near the close of 1865, he made his hasty
Southern trip, and based thereon that report
which was generally understood to favor the
Johnson plan of reconstruction. We can form
no conception of the duties of a military offi
cer which would require him to Indite or sign
such a report. Be it finally understood, then,
that "reticence" as to politics is not in our
view a defect, in a General-in-Chief. In a Re
publican candidate for President it might be
otherwise.
The Journal thus deals with the General's
acceptance of the Department of War:
"it was determined In the mind of Johnson that
Rtanton should be superseded. Was It not better
that Grant should assume toe duties or tue oiuce than
that It Bbould fall Into the hands of an Implicit and
pliant tool ot Johnson ? lie is now in a position to
eadeavor to render Important service to the country.
It lie is allowed to do so.lthe nation will rejoice; If he
is prevented, and superseded, as ne may be, we shall
cave aaamonai eviuence oi nia reuaoimy.
This seems to us Dasea on a ainguiar mis
conception. We did not suppose it imagined by
any one that General Grant is in any case to
officiate permanently as secretary or war. The
first point in the Presidential game was to get
Stanton out He could not be turned out; he
was not inclined to go out. To have notified
him that his place was wanted for Steed nian or
Jeriy Black would only have evoked a response
that it could not be had. But, when Gen. Graut
notineu mm mat ne nau accented tne post.
Stanton felt constrained to give It up. And
now, wnen tne nine comes ior installing me
coming man, Gent. Grant will be notified that
the place Is wanted, and he will quietly vacate
it. He has no right to do otherwise. The pro
visions of law which would have Justified Htan-
irtn in tinllinfy nn li i) in n onnlinntlnn ( i him
as bis appointment was never confirmed, and
never meant to be. lie nas served the presi
dent's turn in serving to oust Stanton. This
done, he may go the sooner the better. His
'important service" is already rendered not
to the country, but to Johnson. What follows
may or may not be imposing, but it will not be
significant. The climax is passed; all beyond
Is by-play and theatrical thunder. We cannot
Bee now it is to De maae even impressive.

14. A fire broke out on Wednesday evening,
t he 3d of July, at about 11 30 P. M., In the centre
of the town, and defied all efforts made to arrest
Its progress. It quickly spread In all directions.
Its ravages only ceasing with the almost total
destruction of every building in Basseterre. All
the pubiio buildings, such as the Coart House
and Town Hall, as well as the Treasury, not
situated in the centre of the town, have miracu
lously escaped; while, on the other baud, the
beautiful parish Church of St. George has been
almost totally destroyed, and of the stores in
the town not one remains, ui me origin or the
disaster no Information is afforded.
In oonseaaenoe oi me total destruction or the
stores and other places of business, and the loss
of the provisions stored therein, there has been
a complete dearth of food, and anxiety is mani
fested lest to tne calamity wntcn has already
befallen us another should be added in
the form of famine and pestilence. The de
mand for food besame of such a pressing nature
that captain aager, oi me united suites
steamer, had been prompted to render such
assistance as a partial supply from the stores of
bis bill p would permit an act of kindness and
generosity to a suffering community for which
be deserves the greatest commendation.
Only one me is reported to nave been lost.
Only fifteen respectable houses, left stand
ing, and every merchant and storekeeper is
completely burnt out.
The Bank shared the same fate, but the vault
held out, and when opened the cash and books
were found to be safe.
Th. vninenf the property destroyed nmv be
safely put down at 300,000, of which only 30,000
was insured.

Klectlon Agitation of tha Irish and
"Red"-Jefr. Davis on a Solitary Pro
menade Cure for Ills Daughter's IlelU
Rlon The Informer Against Surratt.
Montreal, August 17. I went to a rouge
meeting here last night. Monsieur Mederlo
I-anctot, the prominent rouge candidate to re
present Montreal as against Cartier, having re
turned from a tour to New York, received a
Ferfect ovation from Young Canada, and Yoang
reland combined on the occasion to escort him
through the streets in a carriage docked with
bouquets, and drawn by four horses. The vivats
and enthusiasm were in regular Irish style.
Mr. Lanctot's opponent in the press had
circulated the report that his visit to
New York was solely to get his pockets filled
with gold and greenbacks though he certainly
couldn't have picked :em up so in Wall street
in order to Influence the elections in an annexa
tion ense. It was on account of this report
that the meeting was held, speeohes being
made in French aud English I had almost said
In Irish, so many ol these were present.
The orators, though inexperienced in the
stumping art, made a very good thing out of It,
duly convicted their "calumniators," and
uttered some very sensible views, standing, as
they do, on a platform of common sense and
Justice, as opposed to that ot Ignorance, blind
fHnnticlsm, arlstocratlo intrigue and fraud. I
find that the papers this morning call Lanotot
"n little demagogue," and lay great stress on
their convictions ' that our citizens will not so
stultify themselves as to elect him." But from
the fact that I bey bestow many columns upon
him, I conclude that they really lookjupon him
as being somewhere In the race
Indeed, I gather on good authority that he
stands a good cnanoeof election, as earlier is
universally regarded as belt g too much of a
sioer with the Britishers, and Is, consequently,
called a traitor to his French natlonnllty. They
spy "he regrets not being a thoroughbred John
Bnll,atori-cocJ'te and all."
The papers this morning are also taken up
with Mr. McUee's revelations upon Fenlanlsrn:
but, from their looks, it would Beem they could
not possibly do much damage to that celebrated
confraternity.
1 witnessed a somewhat curious sight yester
day. I saw Jeff. Davis walking all alone in
Noire Dame street, aud immediately recognized
him, though he seemed to beat that point of
the street incognito to the passers. lie was
dressed in a black suit he has a very neat, tidy
appearance always wearing a felt hat, broad
brimmed. Southern fashion, and curries a cane.
But this, be 11 said en pnxtant, bedld notappear
to need at a-11; for he walked perfectly erect, and
with a verj dignified step, ulagoually across
the little square iu front of the cathedral, and
entered Little St. James street. Before he hd
gotten throuch the square, however, he was
recognized, and alter he bad entered the street
quite a crowd gathered at its em rauce.
Ail eyes were strained to eaten a good long
limp.se of the perambulating celebrity until
le hud passed two long squares, aod out of
view, several remarks were made oy members
of the crowd; but there was no noise or other
demonstration, and Mr. Davis walked on, en
tirely unconscious of the at-semblage so quickly
gathered in his wake to stare at him. It was
droll. "And that's Jeff. Davis." "Where's he
putting up 7" "At a private house." "Wnere
is he going now 7" "He's walking out for exer
cise, or going to pay somebody a call." " How
straight he looks." "His hair Is yet quite dark
behind," etc.
The other day I met a little girl who is an in
mate of the Saore Co-ur Convent, and who is
now passing her vacation outside Its walls.
Chatting away, in a very lively way, she re
marked that sue knew Miss Davis at the Con
vent; that "she wanted to make herself Catho
lic, but Monsieur Jefferson Davis came aud
took her away." It is true that the child was
taken away and sent to Mrs. Gordon's school,
although I would not vouch for the cause al
leged for such a course; more especially as It
would bave really been a poor return for all the
good offices and sympathizing friendship re
ceived at the hands and hearts of Pope, Cardi
nal, and the rest of Catnollcdom.
St. Marie, the discover of Surratt, is here,
dressed as fine as a fiddle and promenading
with a huge revolver slung around his waist.
Probably he is on the lookout for Surratt's
deliverance froralall; for It is reported that his
fears are tolerably lively on that point. He
displays Immense handfuls ol gold on entering
the stores and barrooms, as I bear, but Is
everywhere despised In the city. iV. Y. Hcruld,
Political Affairs at Ottawa.
Ottawa, C. W., August 19. At 11 o'clookt
day the nomination for representatives of this
capital in the Federal Legislature and Legisla
ture of Ontario took place in the City Hall
Square. There were four candidates for the
first Legislature, but the meeting was in favor
only of J. M. Currier and Edward McGUllveray,
the former being the more popular for the local.
II. J. Field and II. W. Scott were nominated,
the first being best received.
It is likely that Currier, conservative, for
Commons, and Frlel, ditto, tor local Legisla
ture, will be elected. About five hundred per
sons were present at the meeting.
It is reported that the Ottawa ship canal will
be begun before the Intercolonial Railway is

Three Men Suffocated.
About VA o'clock. A. M.. yesterday. Fritz
Jongb, a workman employed iu the distillery
or Herman Aietzier, at tne root or feast rwenty-
mntn street, was engaged in stirring a quantity
of "mash" used in the manufacture of whis
ky in a large circular tub, 15 feet in deoth
and 45 in diameter. The "mash" was warm,
and while he stirred it another workman
played a stream of water upon it from a line of
nose, causing a dense and noxious vapor to
ause, vvnue mus engaged me ooaru or cieai,
upon the end of the pole used by Jongb, came
off in the tub. Produolng a ladder, Jongh
placed it in the tub, and attempted to descend
for the purpose of procuring the cleat, although
he had, in common with the other workmen,
been warned of the extreme danger of such a
proceeding. He had descended but a few steps
when he was overcome by the vapor, and fell
backward into the "mash." His fellow-workman,
William Elsfleld, descended the ladder
for the purpose of rescuing him, and he, too,
fell in. Undeterred by the fate of the others,
another workman named William Werner In
turn descended the ladder for the purpose of
aiding his comrades, who were loudly crying
for help, and he, too, fell In betore he could
even reach them a helping hand.
By this time the news of the accident had
spread throughout the building, and the pro
prietor and remaining workmen crowded
aronnd the tub, eager to render assistance.
Several attempted to descend the fatal ladder,
but were prevented by the proprietor and the
more prudent of their companions. At length,
by means of the hose already mentioned, used
as a rope, and otberappllances hastily prepared,
the raen were dragged from the tub. Physlolans
were at once summoned, but the men showed
no signs of life after being drawn out, and on
the arrival of the physicians were pronounced
to be dead. The bodies were removed to the
Morgue at Bellevue Hospital, where later In
the day Coroner Schirmer held an Inquest. A
verdict of death from asphyxia was rendered.
Jongh was a native of Germauy, aged 32 years,
and resided at No, 218 Avenue A, coiner of
Forty-fifth street, where he leaves a wife and
children. Werner was a native of Germany,
aged 47 years, and resided at No. 238 Rlvlngton
street, where he, too, leaves a wife and family.
Kisfeld was a native of Germany, aged 30 years,
and resided at the oorner of First avenue and
Forty-fifth street, where he also leaves a wife
and family. N. Y. Tribune.

Victor Emanuel's people refused to believe
that tbo excursionists were other than Oarl

hidden in their breast. When any of the
pleasure-seekers had occasion to return to the
ship after nightfall, they were faithfully fol

tbe executive nflicer of the ship, Captain Burs

THE LOSS OF THE SACRAMENTO.
Additional Reports of the Disaster The

Relief Bravery of a Colored Man
Names of the Persons Saved.
Madras, India, June Being a passenger
on the steamship Arabia, lrom Calcutta to
Madrus, I send you these few particulars of the
loss of the tiacramento.
We coaled at Coconada and proceeded on our
voyage, when we fell iu with some of the crew
of the Hacramento. Most of them were on a
raft, and some of them, were in a boat. The way
thai they got drifted out to sea was as follows:
It had commenoed to blow fresh, and tbe tide
had turned. The raft carried most of the tnea
on shore. When they were drifted out tosea
they were all on this raft. One of the ship's
boats drifted near them, and one of tbe irmn
swam off to her and made her fast to the raft,
which Uehteued the latter a good deal, so the
boat acted as convoy to the raft.
The poor fellows were glad when they 8(w us,
When we came up to them we stopped the en
gine of tbe Arabia, and I hey gave us three
rousing cheers, I myself returning the compli
ment warmly. Tbe poor fellows had suffered a
good deal from bruises. A good many were
washed oil the raft, and would have been
drowned, only for a co.'ored man that swam off
to them, fetched them back, and saved them,
lie Is a very good man.. He was the last mm
in (he boat when we hoisted her up to the
davits of tbe steamer.
The meu speak well of their captain. He
wus tne right in .n in the right place, lie re
fused to leiive the ship. I never b.iw a better
sample of men on any ship tban the meu we
picked np. They never lost their discipline.
V hen the boatswain piped the Sacramento
crew on the purl side, they ail obeyed the order
at once,
I took quite au interest in the men and their
country loo. I have lived some time In the new
British' Kingdom or Dominion, In that flue and
rellnlous town tbey call Montreal.
1 enclose you, from a Madras paper, a list of
the names of the men taken from the raft, with
the Journal's report of ihe lots of the Sacra
mento, us follows.
Intelligence has been received at Madras of a
mishap to tbe United Slates war steamer
Sacramento on her voyage from Madras
to Calcutta, which was communicated to tbe
marine official at this port by the Master at
tendant at Coconudn ou Friday last. The Sacra
mento was proceeding from Madras to Calcutta
via Coconada, where she was to bave called for
couls. but unfortunately went on shore eighteen
miles south of Hope Island, and has now be
come a total wreck. The British India Hteara
Navigation Company steamer Arabia, Com
mander Ballantine, ou ber voyage from
Calcutta to Madras, picked up, on the
evening of the 21st of June, at 6 30
P. M. (Hope Island Hgbtbouse bearing
W. N.W. distant ten miles), a cutter and a raft
belonging to the bacranieuto,on board of which
were the following ofllcors and men: Lieute
nant Commanding, Ueorge M. Bicho; First
Lieutenant of M artnes, Henry A. BartleM; As
sistant Surgeon, P. Babcock; First Assistant
Engineer, H. Able; Second Assistant Engineer,
Frederick L. Millar; Third Assistant Engineer,

Stlmson; Hailmaker, J. Bradford; the Master at
Arms; tbo Purser's Steward; seven firemen;
three seamen; seven marines: in all twenty-

The raft and cutter left the wrecked steamer
about thlrty-slx hours previous, and had been
without water or food; they were taken to Co
conada, and put on board an America vessel
lying In the roads. The commander of the
Sacramento is safe at Coconada, and other
parties are reported to have left the steamer on
rafts, but whether they have been saved or not
is unknown.
