REGISTERED LETTERS. The Post
Office Department at Washington has
adopted new, and we think, q much

system than the old, from the fact that
1t insures safety to money sent in that
way. though weljudge fromYa perusal
of the rules and regulations, 1t isimore
troublesome to Post Masters and mail
agents. The letter containing the
money Is enclosed In large envelope,
provided for that purpose BY the De-

easily distinguished from ali other

Post Masters, Route Agents, Receiv-
Ing Clerks, &c., handling these regis

MISCEAL ANEOUs ITEMS.

Within few days past case Of
somewhat novel character has been devel-
opod by some phiIanthropic ladies in Old
Town, Baltimore. it seems that previous
to the war highly educated lady was re
siding in North Carolina, upon very
large plantation, surrounded by luxury,
and living in true Southern style. The
results of the war reduced her to want.
Her many slaves were emancipated by
the proclamation, and she was left help
less and alone. She finally reached Bal
timore few days since, in search Ofsome
old friends, in great destitution, and was
about to apply to the authorities for relief
in her utter despair, when she encountered
one of her old servants, now resident in
that city, who insisted upon returning the
many acts of kindness displayed in the
past, and actually provided her former
mistress with comfortable home.

What The PeopIe Owe.

The New York Erening Post pub
fishes tables showing the state, county,
town, city and village indebtedness in
the State Of New York, from which it
appears that the people of that State
owe in the aggregate about $4,000
600. Were this debt distributed equal
ly among the entire population, each
man, woman aud child would owe about
S35. New York's share of the national
debt, according TO population, is about
ole-eighth, or s2l5, 100000, or about
two and one-fourih times the entire
amount of the local debt. The share of
each individual in the national debt wo'd
be about $40, and the share Of each in
the whole, local and national, would be
Sll4. If the'whole were divided equal
ly among families, the share Of each
would be $3.50 if among land owners,
the share of each would be $l,14O.
If the people of other States are as
much in debt as the people of n. York
and we presume they are, on an ayar-
age, the people of this country owe more
than they could pay with their aggre-
gate net earnings for four years. If each
head of family were required to pay
$50 year, it would require about TWEEN
ty years for the country to get entirely
out Of debt.-lNil. Sentinel.

The Democratic majority in Kentucky
is about forty two thousand against about
thirty-eight thousand in 1866. Those
kho are anxious to intrust the governm'nt
of the COUNTRY or of any State to the same
party are referred to Kentucky. In that
State, as 10 the nun lcipal Government of
the city 81 New York, the blessings of
Democratic ascendeucy are manifested, as
they were 10 the administrations of Pierce
and Buchanan IN the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, the attempt to force
slavery upon Kansas, the dred Scott decis
ion, aud finally, in the rebellion plotted
by Democratic Senators and Democratic
Cabinet with imbecile eonnivance of a
Democratic President. These are advan-
tages Of Democratic rule still quite fresh
in the popular mind.
To Kentucky the Democratic majority
mesEs simply majority of those who
sympathized with the rebellion. II was
q Democratic Governor of that State who
returned an insulting reply to President
Lincoln's summons for troops and the
Democratic sscendency kept the State
from ever being truly loyal. Had the
Democratic loyalty of Kentucky been that
of the land, JEFF Davis and his friends
would have overtbrown the Government
and ruined the country within the first
six months of the rebellion. The fierc
est of the unconstructed rebels in the
Southern States hailed the result of the
Connecticut election, because they
thought that It showed a tendency in
other States to join Kentucky and they
knew that when the politics of Kentucky
are those of the country the political
work of the war will be undone as far as
possible, and reputation, compensation
for slaves, the invalidity of the emancipa-
ton amendment, and unconditional re-
storstion to Congress, will not be as
dimly distant rs they now are.
Kentucky is Democratic. 1t was the
only State not openly in the rebellion
which was thoroughly Democratic
through the war; and there was no
State not IN Instruction in which secess-
ion had such sincere sympathy. We do
not forget the brave men of Kentucky
who volunteered for the cause; AMI who
molly fought at home and abroad and
whose patriotic devotion was al the great
er bscause they Uere greatly outnumber-
ed. But true rs they were they did not
speak for the State. They were the po-
litical minority. They are the minority
still. But they are now coming to see
that they might be the majority if all |
loyal men, black or white, were voters.
The Democracy, which instiuctively hates
equal rights and loves caste and privilege /
will Of course resist such a result. But it F.
is this very resistance. the steady hostil
i.y to human rights and consequent na-
tional peace and prosperity, which has
fully revealed the real character of the re-
dictionary faction which is known as the
Democratic party.
The dominance of that party makes
Kentucky what it is. Those who wish
other States to resemble Kentucky will
naturally work and pray for Democratic
rule,
