Neo Pdcifc Postal .lrranremeit.-The
/ Washington Union states that most effrc
tive system of registration Of California let.
teri have been sanctioned by tho Post Office
| department, which will insure speed as well
as certainty in the delivery Of letters. The
plan Is as lOllows
" 1t consists merely in sending to the New
/ York post office a slip of paper upon which
is copied the address of the letter you have
just deposited in tho mail Tho slip If papei
should be cut to iit an envelope loosely, aud
must be enclosed without folding, together
with the hree cent postage stamp, in a pre-.
paid envelope. aud directed To the " Pacific
MaiI List" New York Post Office. The ad.

the New York post office will be entered r
lbs appropriate place IN the Pacific Mai
List" which list Is printed, aud being sent
by each mail TO each and every post office in
I California, and the Territories OF Oregon
and Washington, 1t will point out TO those
persons whose letters are published therein
the post office TO which the letters were sent
A person may thus at once receive intelli-
gencc of letter that has been sent to n post
office five or five hundred miles away, which

thought proper TO register the same In the

No other writing than the address of the

letter itself must be deposited 10 the mail a.

simply ncloscd.
The Union remarks that over one hundred
and twenty thousand letters sent during the
[ past yenr 90 post offices in the Pacific region
were never received by the persons TOT
whom they were intended, aud consequently
became dead letters, causing thereby, doubt

Virginia, as one of the States of the Re-
public, theoretically admits a universal sui.
rage IN practice, however, 1t appears that
thla rght must be exercised according to the
prevailing state sentiment, or man Is in
danger OF his life. A Mr. Timothy Stan
nard' recently, at Norfolk, gave a vote for
Fremont which, when proclaimed by the in
speclor as Is the custom in that State. was
refused by that officer, and the voter had TO
leave the Stale for fear Of mob violence.
