FEMALE SuFFRAGE.-One hundred ladies
recently petitioned the Kansas Legislature
that the right of suffrage be bestowed upon
their sex in common with the negro. Now
that the ladies Of Kansas have taken the
initiative, it is to be hoped that their exam
pie may be copied all over the Union, pro-
viding such privileges be bestowed upon the
freedmen. Should such right be denied to
intelligent, educated and refined females, and
granted to an inferior and ignorant race,
thereby placing our women in measure un-
der the Legislation and control Of that race?
If the White Mans Government is to be
abolished, let US try White Woman's Gov
ernment s. +. Golden Era.

The REGISTRY BILL.-We consider the
Hawes' Registry Bill, says the Napa County
Register, which has recently passed both
branches Of the Legislature, the most odious
and useless piece Of legislation ever forced
upon the people Of this State |, fills three
columns Of closely printed matter in the Sar-
ramento Union which will give an idea of it's
cumbrousness. But its length is its leas, ob,
iectionable feature. We venture to assert
that OF the number who voted for it not one
in ten understood its provisions. We-do not
propose at this time to dissect the bill and
show up its glaring folles, for we have a faint
hope that Governor Low will veto it. If he
signs it, however, we shall give our readers
a synopsis of it. and illustrate our objections
to it. 1t is one of those oppressive and ex'
pensve folIies of the Republican party which
will add one more item to the list Of poIiti-
csl crimes for which they are soon to be bur.
led beneath the mountains OF an outraged
peoples wrath.

1t is reported of Hesiode that when he
felt too stupid to do anything else he would
write an ode. Perhaps this is the reason
why, when anything is very bad or mean,
it is called odious. In imitation OF the
great man, therefore, yesterday, the weather
being rather dull and rainy, and our edito-
rial head reveling in consequence in the
delicious sensation of being completely free
from anything like an idea, we told one of
the newsbOys to tap our poetry grinding
machine and grind out something for facts
and fiction.
The boy red-headed, freckled- faced, and
is perfect idiot He took pencil, piece
Ofpaper, aud having joined to those things
the wings of preserved butterfly, he in
troduced the whole into that of our machine
and ground out, with difficulty, the follow
ing ode, which is remarkable only as an
exempli6cation of the theory that brains
are-of no earthly necessity in the compost
ton of poetry:

raaf RATES OF POSTAGE.
In consequence of the general ignorance in the
South of the rules Of postage established by law,
many letters of Importance are daily lost to those
interested by being Improperly or insuficiently
stamped. The regulations require that all such let
ters dropped into post offices shall be Immediately
forwarded to the Dead Letter office, where they are
never heard from unless they contain money, or
other enclosures Of value. We give below some in
formation which may prevent vexation to cores
pcndents; -
The rate of postage on letters within the United
States is cents for every letter or sealed package
weighing one half ounce or under Those over one
half ounce, cents and cents for every additional
half ounce. Prepayment with stamps in all cases
is required All letters without the necessary post
