Previous to March, 1868, all letters were
required to be prepaid and the people had
become so accustomed to the law that not
more than $4,000 unpaid letters were an
nually returned to the dead letter Office
But at that date Congress passed law per-
hitting all the unpaid letters to pass through
the mails, the receivers of them paying dou.
BILE rates. This arrangement resulted dsas.
trously to the postal revenue, and so at the
late Congress the law absolutely requiring
prepayment was restored. The people gen.
orally, however, are not aware Of this fact,
for the number of unpaid letters returned to
the dead letter office average from twelve to
fifteen thousand day.

The Registers for the several counties met
in Baltimore, on Thursday last, for the pur-
pose Of comparing views and agreeing upon
some uniform action in the performance of
their duties. After organizing, committee
on business of one from each county repre-
scented was appointed. The committee, after
consultation, reported the following, which
was adopted by the meeting:
Resolrcd, That no person be registered as
a qualified voter who has the general repu
tation of being rebel sympathizer.
Resolred, That in the opinion of this Con-
vention it is the duty of Officers of Registra-
ton to record. as far as possible, the names
of every white mail person, resident in and
temporarily absent from their district in the
first column of the book of Registration,
and determine their right to vote, whether
they appear before the Board or not.
Resotced, That it is the duty of the Off
GERS of Registration to hold meetings as
many days as are necessary to complete the
business that may be brought before them.
The list of questions adopted by the Har-
ford Convention was readoptcd by the State
Convention.
The second resolution is in accordance
with the Published opinion of Mr.. Ohr, Of
Allegany county, chairman of the commit
tee which framed the law. Mr.. Ohr, takes
issue with the Governor,-a synopsis of
whose opinion we presented last week, and
contends that it was the intention of the
law that the Registers should place the name
of every white male citizen over the age of
81 years in the first column; but only those
who are entitled to vote in the eighth col
umn. Mr.. Ohr says:
'But some are disposed to contend that
no name can be entered in the book of reg
istration unless the party appears in person
before the officers Of registration and de-
mands to be registered. Every member of
the Legislature who was present understood
it quite differently. Amendment after a.
mendment was offered to restrict the action
of the officers to such as should appear and
apply in person; speech after speech was
made, appealing and threatening with courts,
with revolution and With arms, bnt each
vote on these amendments Shove the de.
termination that e'''name of every white
male person.. resident or temporarily abb
sent from the drummer boy of ten years
or upward, should have, if he aided in any
way the rebellion, his name recorded with
the sentence of disqualification set forth in
the seventh column of said book. A refer
ence to the journals of either House will
show that it was distinctly understood, both
by Union and. disunion men, that the 5tb
section intended to disquality epery ,ohite
male present or temporarily absent, who had
in any way engaged in or afforded aid, com
fort, countenance or support to the rebel
lion, or those engaged in it."

COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY. Tie ia

COUNTERFEIT CURRENCY The fact
that there is an immense quantity of coun-
ter(eit government fractional currency afoat
in this county is too we'll known to need the
announcement to be made here but during
the past ten days there have been put in cir
culation the best executed counterfeit halves
and quarters we have yet seen. They are very
difficult to distinguish from the genuine. 1t
was first noticed in this section on Friday of
last week, wien number of the public places
took good deal of it, before making the
discovery that it was spurious. The fact that
the amount is steadily increasing has led to
the belief that there are parties, either here
or in the neighborhood, who make bust
ness of circulating it. There are persons
who have no visible means of support, but
who always wear fine clothes. The honest
portion of the public should keep a sharp
look out, and some of these gentry may be
caught yet.
