NEW SYSTEM OF REGISTEEHD sa1n
TIKs.-Onr Postmaster has been direct
ed to put the new system of registration
of letters into operation at this Office on
the first day of June-at which time it
will 20 into effect all over the United
States This system is universal, while
that of the money-orier plan is confined
vas envelope, Of large size and Of an APP
pearance sufficiently novel to attract the
attention Of distributing clerks immedi-
ate!y, has been Introduced with this
change. The printed directions on these
envelopes will give the reader q good
iden ef the new system. 1t rcads.:
" poafhsasters, route agents, railway
postufiIcc clerks, and receiving clerks,
handling this registered package envel-
olae while in transit, are required to
keep a record of its number, postniarll,
with date,} address, date of its receipt,
and the description made of it by them,
on the blanks and books furnished for
that purpose. Route agents and railway
postoificc clerks will also take receipt
for it, Ito be carefully prcserved,) when
it leaves their hands; and when such
receipts cannot be obtained at the time,
they will place in the pouch with this
envelope Il receipt to be signed by the p.
NJ. Of the office at which the pouch is to
be first opened. This receipt the p. NJ.
will sign, and return it, directed to the
route agent or railway postoffice clerk, }
by next mail"
By this it will be seen that money in
IA registered. letter will now go through
safely. BY the old system you were
almost sure to never hear Of your money
after mailing it; but under this MIN,
the letter can he tracked through
postof1ice and the hands Of every clerk
making it secure as far as any post
master or clerk gobbling is concerned.
We would recommend the registration
system only at offices where money
orders cannot be procured, as the latter
plan is far the best.

ANIGNORANT CRITIC.

The Press and Times arraigns the ap.
pellate courts of Kentucky for deciding
cause arising under the laws of Ken
lucky according to the laws of Ken
lucky But not content with the alb
surdity of this criticism, it proceeds to
exhibit an ignorance Of Kentucky affairs
that is really astonishing 1t says
This is the decision of Judge Duvall, a
noted Breckenridge Rebel, an avowed Sc
cessionist, who was elected 10 the supreme
bench of Kentucky last year by some
10000 majority.
Judge Duvall has not been a member
Of the Supreme Court for several years.
He is the clerk Of that court elected last
year by nearly forty thousand majority.
According to our recollection, the court
delivering the opinion that has so dis
gruntled this accurate chronicler of
events is composed entirely Of men
elected during and since the war, and
doubtless each Of them has record for
Unionism equal to any man who voted
for the civil rights act

LATEST KILOGRAMS.
MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES,
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, June l5.-Commodore
JnO. WinslOw, has been placed on waiting
orders.
1t is understood that printed copies of
Attorney General Stanberry's opinion in
regard TO the duties Of military COM
manders, has been sent hence to prominent
papers In various sections to to be pub

with a gentleman occupying a higher
position, 1t would seem that this
opinion is more valuable and

The Attorney General, it is said, holds

IN of the several State governments under
DIVISIONS Of law. The military COM

their rights of person and property ;
they haye no power to remove State

Etheridge at MOrristOwn-Disord
and Insulting Conduct Of the Radi-
caIs-HOw they Shun Discussion and
Flee from the Truth.
Correspondence of the Union and Dispatch.
On Saturday, the Sth instant, at Morris
town, East Tennessee, ! had the pleasure,
for the first time in my life, Of hearing the
Hon. Emerson Etheridge make political
speech of about two hours in length. The
weather was tolerably warm, and the large
church-house in which he spoke completely
filed. The Hon. VIM. Z. Stokes, who was
TO have met him there, not being present,
Mr.. Etheridge proceeded with his address,
which was delivered in the true Christian
spirit of a statesman; and if it had not
been for the bad conduct of few design
ing men, the civil part of the people would
hardly have appreciated to the full extent
the force of his remarks. And l have no
doubt bat that the misconduct above limited
at, was premeditated plot, concocted and
set on foot for the express purpose of break
| ing up the crowd, and preventing Mr.. Eth
| eridge from being heard. Said party came
into the church, placed three flags around
! the stand, and took their seats some con-
siderable time before the arrival of the
speaker At length Mr.. Etheridge came
| in, passed on to the stand, and commenced
his address He hadn't spoken more than
| thirty minutes. when these leaders rose,
caught up the flags and made for the door,
screaming at the top of their voices, "Hur-
rah for Brownlowl" At the same instant
from two to three hundred left in the like
disorderIy manner, whose seats were quickly
filled by the well-behaved gentlemen who
had not been able to get seats in the house
t~untilthen. The crowd that had Just left
was composed of white and black men,
some of whom had been drinking. They
spent about an hour marching up and down
the road-sometimes close to the church
whooping and yelling at the top of their
voices; and some say there was quarreling
and threats made to take Mr.. Etheridge
from the stand. Finally the State Guard
was brought up, and their frolic in the road
being thus brought to an end, they pro-
ceeded to a machine shop, where some
one commenced an address.
All things considered, this conduct Of
the Radicals only goes to prove to what an
extent even we'll meaning men may be
unthoughtedly led by designing tricksters
in times of political excitement, for | am
acquainted with many of those who left
the house, and know some Of them to be
quiet citizens, who, if they could have seen
themselves as others did, would never
be caught in the like dilemma again.

v,,x NOT THE IEG1sLATURE.

WHY NOT THE LEGISLATURE.
Mr.. d. ii. Mason, formerly one of the
editors of the Press and Times and now
one of the Radical candidates for Con-
gress in this district, says in an address
to the voters of the district, just pub
lished in the Radical Organ:
earnestly desire and will use NV in
fuence TO have the odious and unjust 10th
section of the present franchise law blotted
out. And, inasmuch az Hon. VIM. b.
Stokes, Judge NJ. NJ. Brien and other lead
ing Republicans in this State believe that
section null and void because OF conflict
with certain enactments of the United
States Congress, / am in favor of making 4
test of the question in the courts of Ten
nessee. To that end, propose that the
colored voters of Nashville shall, when the
proper time comes, nominate and elect 10
some Of the positions in the city govern
ment, several of their best men. When re-
fused the offices to which they have beer
chosen, the validity of the Odious 10th sec
ton can be brought into court and ad-
Indicated"
Why not make this test in the Legis.
lature2 The negroes have a large ma
jority of the registered voters in this
county, and why not elect two or even
three of their prominent men to the very
body that excluded them from office, and
ifthey are denied seats the right of such
denial can be adjudicated before the
courts Why propose paltry Office in
the city government, when the "hOnors

MOUTH"

MOUTH"
Does John Trimble play the white or
black in the Congressional game of chess
in this district
On the 10th of October, 1865, he offered
bill repeating the Franchise law OF
June of that year, and said, by way Of
explanation, on its introduction
This bill proposes to admit to suffrage
the entire body and population of Tennes-
see, although the word white is not men
toned in it. 1t is intended to wipe ont the
past, and to admit again the people of Ten
ness 10 the elective franchise, and to estab-
fish broad Democratic and truly Repub-
lican spirit-obliterating the past, and,
trusting 10 the generosity and the faithful
ness Of the people of Tennessee to take
their places and perform their duty as citi-
zens of the United States. This is the
principle of the bill
IL this is not amnesty for participation
in rebellion, and free suffrage to the
white people of Tennessee, what is it ?
Could language be palmer ?
But he continued to explain
Thirdly, Il proposes to offer suffrage to a
certain class Of colored persons now reeog-
nized everywhere as citizens Of the United
States. Ii proposes to admit very limited
number Of colored persons who were free
previous to the 22d Of February, 1865.
The free persons of this class, by the
census Of the United States, is only 1900
They are required to read and write. by
the first provisions of this act, what num-
Der out Of 1900 will be admitted to suffrage
in the State Of Tennessee They will not
humber more than FIVE hundred.
The bill iourthiy proposes TO give the
right of suffrage 10 colored men who have
been enlisted, citizens of the State, not
those who may come into Tennessee, but
the soldiers OF the State who can read and
write How many will that admit TO the
elective franchise? Probably not more
than FIVE hundred more.
This language against the admission Of
but but very limited number of col
ored persons probably not more than
one thousand in the whole State--to
the right Of suffrage, is as decided as
that in favor Of the unconditional admis-
sion Of all white men
Now, it il contended by Mr. Trimble's
supporters that he has reversed his posi-
ton. and that he favors the admission Of
all the blacks, and only " a very limited
number" of whites.
The truth of the matter is, that Mr.
Trimble is a trimmer on this question,
and has justly forfeited the confidence Of
both whites and blacks.

Of greenbacks as unfit to be paid to mem

which changes considerably the animus of

sole object of the branch of my speech
from which you quote, was to account for
the missing coin. And the object of re-
ferring TO your transaction with the bank
was because that accounted for part of it.
And the reason for charging your presence
when the boxes were opened, was to show
that You knew that the coin had been re-
sorted to by the bank officers for different
purposes, and consequently that you had
no right to make or repeat the charge
against the State officers. Ny authority
for assuming your presence when the kegs
and boxes were opened, are the papers
