Statistics Of the British Post Office.
The British Postmaster Generals tenth
annual report for 1868 has just been issued,
The tables show that the Correspondents VI
the Kingdom has rieao hom about 10 coz, 900
ofletters IN 1859 tthe last year preceding the
introduction Of penny postase} to upwards Of
64O,OOO, Goo Of letters in 1868. Several causes
have combined to bring about this increase Of
correspondence as the reduction of
postage, the growth Of population, the in
crease Of trade, the epread Of education, and
the improvements which the post Office has
effected with regard to the transmission Of
letters.
The tables show that the rate of increase In
the number Of receptacles for letters has been
much higher than the rate Of increase in the
number Of inhabited houses, since the recep-
tacles for letters Throughout the kingdom
hare been increased ut the rate of ffty-twn
per cent, whilst the inhablted houses through
out the kingdom have increased at the rate of
only eight per cent. The tables also show
mat there Pas been marked propoEtionate
increase Of the facilities for posting letters
within convenient distance from the homes
or places Of business Of the writer's. This
great extension OF accommodation has been
effected mainly By the Introduction of pillar
md wall letter boxes, which first came into
nse IN 1855, and now form nearly one-third Of
AAAAA1[* Va AN@EQlAG4E6 AuE tELIEFS.
The foreign and colonlal letters coming into
the United Kingdom for delivery are about
one-fhleth part Of the whole number Of let
ters delivered, and The letters dispatched to
foreign countries and colonies are nearly equal
In number to those received. The most 1e-
markable increase is in the case OF France,
In 1854, before the reduction of postage
thither, the correspondence amounted to
only 5000, 600; In 1857 it was 4,ooC, 600: and

TIE DEMOCRATS AND THE VETO
MESSAGE,

II is confidently asserted By the Horse
Railroad managers that the Democratic vote
in both branches Of the Legislature will be
cast solid aguinst Governor Oglesby's veto
message when it comes up for consideration.
The reason alleged is that tlis policy will
tend to divide and distract the Union party.
We apprehcrd that when the Democratic
members are brought to the issue tncy will
find the Governors veto messages two-edgcd
sword. If they vote against it they vote
against one Of the cardinal features Of tue
Democratic creed, yiz: 0Rposaion to char
tered saonepo'ies. Since the days of
Jackson this has been one of the
bottom timbers of the Democratic
platform. Il the Democracy think that
they can make any capital by putting into
the hands of chartered monopoly, the pov.>
4cr to swindle the people Of Chicago for nine.
1y-ninc years, they are not Possessed Of their
usual sagacity.' Such vote will return to
plague them forever At cyery succcedinr
election they will be liable to the suspicion
OF seeking to get control Of the Legislature
for the purpose Of feeding mammoth corpora
lions at the expense of the people. How
long can any party exist against whom such
q Charge can be sustained By the records
