As will be seen in another column, the Union County Executive Committee met on Wednesday last and organized, and will meet every Thurs day until the election, for the transaction of bu siness. We occasionally hear of some disaffection with the Union Ticket before the people of the county, as has been the case with every Ticket that ever was nominated. In the present instance it does not seem to be of sufficient importance to merit much attention, nor has it sufficient ground for open opposition. Surely the loyal people of the county will not sacrifice the result of an election, for the gratifi cation of auy mere personal feelings they may have in the matter. These should and will be laid aside, that the great end of harmony may be attained. And why should there be any op position among loyal inert to the nominated Ticket ? ' From the nominee for Congress down to the candidate for County Surveyor, all are men of known loyalty, of good character and official capacity. Judge Emory'and the present Board of Commissioners have been before the people for some time. They have- given general satisfac tion in their several positions. They are famil iar with the duties of their office. Why should they be thrown aside at this time for new men, whose fitness has not been proven ? John K. Harvey, Wm. Foster and Henry Shew, are all men of good standing in their sev eral communities. We have the first objection to hear against the personal character of any of them. And on election day, the Union men wiH rally to their support with a unanimity that will show how heartily they approve the nominees of the late Convention. Registration. Below \vc give a statement of the number of “qualified” voters in each district of Baltimore county, under the Slate Registry Law, together with the vote polled last Fall for Governor.— Comparatively few of those who applied have been disfranchised by reason of disloyalty, so that the reduction in the number of voters in this county is mostly owing to a failure to make ap plication. There will he a number added in each district at the meetings to be held in the week preceeding Ihcelection. Applications have been made to the Courts in different parts of the State, by disfranchised parties, to have the Law tested. Considerable hostility is manifested against it especially by those who are excluded by its provisions, and a strong effort will be made in the next Legislature to have it repealed or at least modified. The Centreville Citizen , the Union paper of Queen Anne county is out in favor of its repeal. It always seemed to us that the suggestion of Governor Brownlow of Tennessee, was a good one, namely :—To dis franchise permanently, those who had taken an active part in the Rebellion, and all others for such a term of years as their particular offence might merit. That 'l3, put them on probation and make 4heir hope of restoration to citizenship depend on their good bohgvior and evidences of sound loyalty. * * Reg’d. Swann. Chambers. Total.

The Baltimore Sun says it is the intention of Gov. Bradford, at the request of Mr. Swann, Gov. elect, to convene an extra session of the Legislature early in January next. One reason for this step is that legistation is necessary on certain measures connected with the State fi nances. The close of the war and the peace ful and prosperous circumstances which sur round us, also call for legislative action, that our commercial and industrial pursuits may be properly developed. The modification or repeal of the Registry Law hi also urged in various sections of the State. It js claimed that this Law was strictly a “war measure,” necessitated by the circum stances surrounding U 3 at the time, and inten ded to operate only during their continuance. Peace being restored, it is claimed that there is no longer any necessity for such a Law. A meeting of citizens of St. Mary’s county, was held at Leonardtown, last week, at which resolutions were adopted declaring the Law “contrary to flic Spirit of the Constitution of the United States, repugnant te the Bill of Rights of our own Btate and odious and oppressive to our people,” and urging a special Session of the s. Legislature that the Law may be repealed.— The political complexion of this convention may, however, be known, from the fact that Ben Harris was a member. • • gome of the Union papers of the State also express their disapproval of tho Law. Tile Kent County News says, Gov. Swann will re commend the repeal or modification of the Law at the special Session of the Legislature, and adds, * "Tho circumstances under which the law was passed having ceased to exist, and the country restored to a condition of peace and assurance, the occasion for its continuance is now regarded even by many of its former friends as pasted we doubt not it will be repealed or greatly modified by * large majority of the Legislature. The people at the South who were actively engaged in re hellion are being restored to all their former rights; and we think all must acknowledge the injustice of disfranchising yoters in Maryland for mere sympathy dr opinion, while the great mass of those who composed the Confederate armies, including officers of high command, to gether with members of. the reoel Congress, are enjoying all the immunities and privileges that they possessed before tbe ffjtf." Meeting ofthft Ixeoutivo Committed. Pursuant to notice, the Executive Committee i>f the Union Party for the ensuing year, met a 1 Towaoutown on Wednesday last, and organized by the selection of the following geutlemon as officers : Christian Gore, Chairman ; Chas. 11. Nicolai, Secretary ; John 11. Lougneckcr, Treasurer.. After the transaction of the usual business, the following Preamble and Resolutions offered by Mr. Chas. 11. Nicolai, of the 9th District, were unanimously adopted : Wheras, It is generally understood that the *' members of the present Legislature will be called together in extra session ; therefore, be it Resolved, That in the event of such being the fact, this committee, representing the truly loyal men of Baltimore county, respectfully request the Senator and Delegates from this county to use all honorable menus to bring about that jus tice which is eminently due to our Volunteers of 1861 k 1862, and all others that have not receiv ed the State Bounty, and that they will relax no effort until our brave boys have all been pnt up on an equal footing in reference to the matter of Bounties. Upon motion it was determined that the Com mittee meet on Thursday of each week from this time until after the Election, and every member is exacted to be at his post. By order Chiustun Gore, Chairman. C. 11. Nicolai, Secretary. News Items. The Government lias received information of the seizure by the Caiadian authorities of six hundred Spencer rifles, which were being smug gled from this country iuto the province at Niag ara, supposed for the se of the Fenians. The income of the Government from internal revenue through last week amounted to $5,973,- 817, making a total of $106,909,149 since the commencement of the current fiscal year, July 1. Troubles are brewing between the Mormons and the United States Government. Polgyamy is in danger. A number of English detectives have arrived in this country to spy out the intentions and movements of the Fenians, so that the British i Government may be prepared for that great inva sion of Fenians from the United States which it seems to be expecting. Emigrants from the Eastern States arc pouriDg into Missouri apparently without limit. Not on ly is St. Louis receiving large accessions, but all the towus along the Missouri river. On the 9th no fewer than thirty large covered wagons en tered that city and passed westward. Two physicians iu the town of Shiloh, Ran dolph county, Illinois, purchased last week, a quantity of calomel from a druggist in Chester, and administered it to sonic forty of their pa tients. It subsequently appeared that corrosive sublimate was mixed with the calomel. At last accounts several persons had died from the effects of the poison, and several others were no! expected to live. Hon. Alex. Evans, of Cecil county, w ho was a candidate for circuit judge, against Judge Price, has withdrawn. Alexander 11. Stephens and John 11. Reagan late Vice-President, and late Postmaster General of the Rebel confederacy, have been released from Fort Warren on parole, and have returned to their respective States—Georgia and Texas. A correspondent of the N. Y. World, writing from Fortress Monroe, says that Jeff Davis will like wise shortly be released, without trial. We doubt it. The testimony in the case of Wirz, the Ander son ville jailor, has all been given, and the argu ment of the counsel is now before the .court. — One hundred and sixty witnesses were examined on both sides, and the record of testimony covers 5000 foolscap pages. An immense parade of the Philadelphia Fire Department was held in that city on Monday last. ■ it is estimated that nearly 20.000 fire-men partici pated, and it required three hours ami a half for the procession to pass a given point. There were in the line, 120 hose carriages, 57 steam engines, 11 hand engines, 12 hook and ladder companies, and 21 ambulances, making a total of 203 pieces of fire apparatus. On Saturday evening last, a train on the Penn sylvania R. li., loaded with jiersons on their 1 way to witness the parade, met with an accident 1 near Lancaster, by which eight persons were in stantly killed. It was caused by the breaking of an axle. Fifty-thousand barrels of herrings have been 1 caught off the const of Maine this season. The market price is $7.00 per barrel. General Humphreys was inaugurated Gov. of Mississippi on Tuesday last. lie was a prominent officer in the Rebel army, and had also a promi nent namesake in the Union army. In all eases where parties receive pardon they have “restoration of all rights of property, ex cept as to slaves, and except in cases where legal ' proceedings, under the laws of tne United States providing for the confiscation of property of per sons engaged in rebellion, have been instituted,” according to the terms of the proclamation of the 29th May last. The Annapolis Republican of Saturday says it has information that an order has been passed 1 for the full pardon of ex-Governor E. Louis Lowe, f 1 notwithstanding the refusal of Governor Brad ford to endorse his application. The Culpepper Observer hoists the name of John M. Bolts as Uuilited States Senator from Virginia. The planters of Cuba have addressed a memo rial to the Court in Madrid asking for the aboli tion of slavery on the islaud. Gen. Grant has issued an order for mustering out immediately, all volunteer regiments that can be spared, including colored troops. The Northern forts are to be guarded by the Regulars, those South of Fortress Monroe by colored troops. Attorney General Randall gives it as his opin ion, in which Gov. Bradford concurs, that Rcg . istry Boards cannot add any new names to the List of voters at their coming meetings. This [ decision, if carried out, will disappoint a number ofloral voters who for various causes have beeu i J prevented from making application heretofore. Gen. R. E. Lee has taken the amnesty oath. The number of voters registered in Frederick county, Md., is 5,067. In 18G0 the vole of the > t county reached 7,227. , Efforts arc being made in Richmond to turn the Dutch Gup canal to the peaceful uses of com - merce and trade. __ Thk Baltimore Commercial.—This is the title r of a new paper started in "Baltimore, by William Wales, late editor of the Clipper, C.

This is the first State in Which the question has been brought directly be fore the people, and the result foreshadows the fate of the question iu other States. The negroes ( Want education, sound, practical, business edu- J cation, rather than suffrage. When they have acquired the former to a sufficient degree, it is not probable that they will long he denied the ■ latter. Education brings in its train all other privileges, civil, social and religious. Had the people of Connecticut legarded it as a mere ab stract question of justice, they might have decided differently. And this seems to have been the view taken by the late President Lincoln. In a letter to Gen. Wadsworth, wiiten a short time before the surrender of Lee, Mr. Lincoln says: “How to better the condition of thc colored nice has long been a study which has attracted my serious and careful attention ; hence I think I am clear and decided as to what course I shall pursue in the premises, regarding it a religious du ty, as the nation’s guardian of tiiese people, who have so heroically vindicated their manhood on the battle-field, where, in assisting to save the life of the Republic, they have demonstrated in blood their light to the ballot, which is but the hnmanc protection of the flag they have so fear lessly defended. I cannot see how I can avoid granting universal suffrage in return for univer sal amnesty, or at least, suffrage on the basis of intelligence and military service.” To the Readers of the Union. „ Although our terms are $2.00 a year, in ad vance, a number of subscribers have as yet failed to pay their subscription for the present year.— This may/arise partly from an unwillingness to send rnouey by mail and partly from the want of an opportunity of attending to the matter in per son. For the convenience of our friends, many of whom rarely come to Towsontown, we have asked gentlemen in different pans of the County to act as our Agents. They will receive all mo ney due us for subscription &c., and receipt for the same, as well as transact any other business With the office, such as forwarding orders for ad vertising and job work. Our friends will please take notice of this arrangement. Hereafter no one will have an excuse for failing to pay his subscription. * The following gentlemen have kindly promised to act as our Agents. Others will shortly be ad ded to the List. Henry 11. Ebau, Hereford. Mr. Wilhelm, P. M. at Black Rock. G. F. Walters, P. M. at Rossville. Ralph Ducr, P. M. at Cockeys' ille. Thos. E. Wantland, P. M. at Union M. House. N. Vansant, P. M. at Rcisterslown. Kdw. A. Weakley, P. M. at Sweet Air. Political. The people of Connecticut decided against Negro Suffrage at their late election by a ma jority of about 7,00!'. This result may be con sidered as foreshadowing the result of the ques tion in other States. The election in Ohio on Tuesday lat a week, gives the Republican ticket a majority of about 30,000. The Legislature stand thus:—Senate, 25 Union, 12 Democrats; House, 70 Union, 35 Democrats. The Republican State ticket of Pennsylva nia has been elected by a majority of near 20,000. Two-thirds of the Legislature will be Union. Great efforts were made to induce the soldiers to vote the Democratic ticket, but ap parently with little effect. At the recent election in California, the Re publicans carried the State and elected two thirds of the Legislature. The elections iu Indiana and lowa have also gone Union by heavy majorities. Every Where the people are discarding that “so-called” Democracy, which butoneyear ago declared the war “a failure.” For the Union. A Practical Question Answered. Mr. John Fox of the Eleventh District, pro pounds the following question, which he calls a “practical” question—“ls it constitutional to tax real estate, and the mortgage on it ?” This ques tion, so far from being a practical question, which as such could be answered by auy practi cal man of ordinary’ intelligence, is a purely le gal inquiry—a point of Uonstitutional Law, and can therefore only be met r.nd answered in the last resort by the Court of Appeals of Maryland. And w hilst Mr. Fox enrieghs against the County Commissioners, lie appears to lose sight of the fact that their office is to administer the law on ly, as it lias been enacted by the General Assem bly and adjudicated by the court of Appeals.— lienee the County Commissioners are just as much responsible for the effect of the existing tax law in tlie case which lie puts, as he, Mr. Fox, is for the sin of our first parents, o This question might be considered as practi cally answered here, without further comment. But it is proper perhaps to state that the law docs not tax the real estate and the mortgage both, in the hands of the mortgagee. If the mortgagee is taxed with both, it is in his own doing bj r virtue of tlu* contract which he makes with the mortgagor, to pay all taxes, dues and imposts on the money loaned. The remedy for this grievance of w hich Mr. Fox complains, is w ith the Legislature, k not for mere political ends to arraign a set of Gentlemen who have a duty to perform, prescribed by a law which they are sworn to administer. It is true, that they are also sworn to support the Constitution. But this does not mean that they are to assume, as Mr. Fox has done, to decide for themselves questions of Constitutional Law. The Constitution for which Mr. Fox manifests so high a regard, denies to him and to the coun ty Commissioners, such functions; for it pro vides that the courts alone shall determine what is the Constitution, and all laws passed by the General Assembly arc to be taken as Constitu tional, until the Courts shall otherwise deter mine. Hence to set up individual opinion upon such subjects is simply to inculcate and encour age disobedience to law. If Mr. Fox desires to be u county Commssioner to redress this alleged grievance, lie lias egregiously mistakeu his call ing. This tax is the effect of the law of trade.— Tiie capitalist lends his money where lie can make the most out of it, and he seeks therefore, just such interests ns escape taxation. He in vests in Ground rents because the lessee cove nants to pay nil taxes ; he invests in seven-thir ty’s or Bounty Loan, for the reason that they are free from Taxation. And if he was liable to have his capital taxed when loaned upon mort gage, he would avoid all such loans, and hence the effect of Mr. Fox’s logic would bo to drive all capital from investments in mortgages. The complaint of Mr. Fox is against the law and its effects upon borrowers mid not against the min isters of the law. If he has been unsuccessful in convincing Mr. Quinlan, Mr. R. Johnson, and other distinguished Legislators that the law was unjust, in the name of justice let him not abuse the county Commissioners, who like himself, are subject to the law. Justice. The Bare Hill Copper Mines. —By invitation of the President and Directors of the Bare Hill Copper Mining Company, a large proportion of the members of the Baltimore Stock Board, to gether with a number of our leading capitalists and business men, on Saturday last, visited the Bare Hill Copper Mine, situated some six miles from the city, and half a mile from the line of the Northern Central Railroad. The machinery and improvements were found in excellent work ing order, and a good force of men employed in developing the resources of the property. Those who descended into the mine reported a superior quality of ore coining freely into the shaft, with every indication of a continued and abundant supply. On the ground, in the preparing rooms and iu the warebou*e of the company, the latter being on the line of the railroad, there were some 1,500 tons of ore awaiting shipment. The stock holders present expressed themselves more than satisfied with what they saw, and a handsome collation fitly closed a very agreeable trip to what is undoubtedly one of the most valuable, as it is the most accessible of the copper proper ties in the State.— Gazette of Monday. Sale of Valuable Property, —Last Saturday, Messrs. Gibson & Co., Auctioneers, sold the val uable property known as Chestnut Hill, lying on the York Road, from one and a half to three miles from the city. For many years it was the country seat of the late John Gibson, and has on it a number of fine building sites. The fine stone mansion, built in Gothic style, with 14 spacious rooms, and all necessary out buildings around it, all in the best order, was purchased by It. C. Hall for $24,750. j The remainder of the property was sold in lots , of from sto 13 acros, at prices ranging from | S2OO to S7OO per acre. ( The aggregate amount of the Sale wa5566.700, c and the property is regarded as having brought excellent prices, ■-y -- - * '" Iftf ' "\f 1 Thieves in Towrontown. —Last Tuesday night the residence of Dr. Jarrett was entered by a 1 thief or thieves, and three coats and a shawl belonging to the Dr., were stolen. They enter | ed the office in the basement by cutting the slats ! hr the shutter, taking out a window pane and ! thus reaching the spring. They were traced up stairs into the hall by the droppings of a tallow candle which they carried. The same night, about half past ten o’clock, the occupants of Mr. John H. Longnecker’s residence were awakened by a noise down stairs, and on going down, the kitchen door was found standing ojien, showing that a similar attempt was about to be made at that place. Mr. Teale at the Parsonage, also heard some one enter his gate late the same night but nothing was disturbed. Oil Wednesday night following, a quantity of butter and eggs was stolen from the market wag ons in the yard of Mr. Webb’s tavern, amoun ting in value to about $l5O. A wagon was tracked to the vicinity of the gate showing that the thieves came prepared to carry of a good quantity of plunder. These occurrences following so dose upon each other, should be a warning to our citizens to use every precaution for the safety of their property. Whether the thieves are residents pf our neigh borhood or from the city is not known. In eith er case, the best reception they can meet is a lump of cold lead or a dose of shot. Be on your guard. ■■ . ♦♦♦ Another Road Suuoested.—A well known citizen of Ueisterstowu, a few days ago mention ed the great necessity for the opening of a county Road from that place across to the Dover Road and thence down to the Falls Road in the viciui ty of Hotkey's Tavern, so as to give people of that section of the County more direct communi cation with Towsoqtown. At present they are compelled to drive down the Turnpike below Owing's mills, and thence come across by the Green Spring Valley Road, which is so rough and narrow, and so close to the W. M. R. R. in sonic places, as to be both unpleasant and unsafe. The distance from Ueisterstowu to Towsontown is about fourteen miles, by the route suggested above it would not be over ten, we are informed. It would be well for the County Commissioners to pay some attention to this subject, and to do all in their power to put Towsontown within ea sy reach from till parts of the County, by a thorough s\stem of good roads. Our County Roads are proverbially bad, and nothing operates more against the developrneut of a section ot country than bad roads. Education. —Messrs B. Rush Ridgcly, Win. Price, Chas. Bosley and other well knowu citizens of the Bth District have erected a good substan tial School house near Warren, for the benefit of their neighborhood. The cost of the building is to be refunded at the pleasureof the School Com missioners. The school lot, containing one acre was donated by Dr. Ridgcly. The room is to he furnished with Mr. Sopor’s patent desk and eve rything will be fitted up in the best style. The gentlemen who have manifested this liberality in the cause of education are deserving of the great est credit. The Musical Convention at Mt. Carmel on Sat. week last, was a large and interesting meeting. The people turned out tor miles around in wagons, carriages and on horseback, many ot them bring ing their dinners and horse feed and staying all day. The vicinity of the Church presented quite an animated appearance at noon, not un like a Camp. The Singing was conducted by Mr. Mnrklund and Tilghinan with their respective classes and indicated great proficiency and thorough training in the beautiful science. Suicide.—Mr. F.G. F. Waltemyer, Magistrate, on Friday lust heltkan inquest on the body of an unknown German who was found hanging iti a cherry tree in Spicer’s Old Field in the lath Dist. The body was almost entirely naked and life was extinct when found. lie was seen in the neigh borhood on the previous evening, but nothiug was known by which to identify the body or as sign a cause for the. rash act. * New Car. — A first class, new passenger car, built by Juo. Stephenson of New York, has been placed on our Railway. It is a single deck car, but wider and longer than the old style, aud is most elegantly furnished within and without. — Hereafter no one need wish to ride in a private carriage. It is another evidence of the enter prise of the managers of the Road, and their de sire to accommodate the public. Merryman’s Mill.—Mr. Otho Shipley has ta ken this mill, situated about one mile below Warren, oil the Gunpowder, and has given it a complete repairing. He intends carrying on the milling business with all the power at his com mand and will do all kinds of Custom work, be sides buying grain and merchant work. Govanstown Catholic Church.—This Church, in charge of Rev. Mr. Lyman, has lately been much enlarged and improved, burdening the congregation with considerable debt. A Fair is now being held for the benefit of the Church, at the corner of Madison and Calvert sts. Balto., and is said to he very finely gotten up. Sunday School Anniversary—The West Lib erty Sunday School will hold an Anniversary at their Church in the 7th District, on Tuesday eve ning Oct. 20th. A Public Address on S. School education will he delivered on the occasion by L. M. Ha vers tick. Religious Notice.—A Protracted meeting will commence at Govanstown M. E. Church on Sun day next and continue during the week. Preach ing on Sttndaymmn’ning and each succeeding evening of the week. Eclipse.-There was an annular eclipse of the sun on Thursday last, visible in this Latitude between S aud 12 o’clock. It was very distinct at Tow sontown about 10 o’clock, the sun having much the appearance of the moon in its first quarter. Omission.—ln the list of members of the exec utive Committee, published last week, the Eighth District was inadvertently left out. They are C. Howard Cole aud Peter F. Cockey. Rain. —There were slight showers on Saturday night and Sunday last, with a pretty heavy fail on Wednesday night. Present indications are for an abundance of the much needed fluid. Appointment.—Thos.
