Registration.


Below we give a statement of the number of
"qualiied,' voters in each district of Baltimore
county, under the State Registry Law, together
with the vote polIed last Fall for Governor
Comparatively few of those who applied have
been disfranchised by reason of disloyalty, so
that the reduction in thenumber of voters in this
county is mostly owing to a failure to make APP
plcation. There will be number added in
each district at the meetings to be held in the
week preceding theelection. Applications have
been made to the Courts in different parts of the
State, by DISTINGUISHED parties, TO have the Law
tested. Considerable hostility is manifested
against it especially by those who are excluded
by its provisions, and strong effort will be
made in the next Legislature to have it repealed
or at least modified. The CentreUille Citizen,
the Union paper Of Queen Anne county is out
in favor Of its repeal. 1t 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 term of years as their particular offence
might merit. That is, put them on probation
and make their hope of Restoration to citizenship
depend on their good behavior and evidences Of
sound LOYALTY -

Negto Suffrage,

The people ofConpectlcut ct their late elsedon,
decided against Negro Suffrage by o. majority of
over six thousand. 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 Ia other States. The negroes
want education, sound, practical, business edu-
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 lis train all other
privileges civil, social and religious. Had the
people of Connecticut regarded it as a mere alb
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 witten short time
before the surrender of Lee, Mr.. Lincoln says :
elbow to better the condition of the colored race
has long been study " ich has attracted my
serious and careful attention hence | think |

ty, as the nation guardian CT these people, who

Extra Session of the Legislature.

The Baltimore Sun says it is the intention of
Gov. Bradford, at the request of Mr.. Swami,
Gov. elect, to convene an extra session OF the
Legislature early in January next. One reason
for this step is that legislation is necessary on
certain measures connected with the State f.
nances. The close of the war and the peace
full and prosperous circumstances which sur
round US, also call for legislative action, that
CTR commercial and industrial pursuits may
be properly developed. 's
The modification or repeal of the Registry
Law is also urged in various sections Of the
State. It's claimed that this Law was strictly
a "war measure" necessitated by the circum-
stances surrounding US at the time, and inten-
ded to operate only during their continuance.
Peace being restored, It'll 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 te spirit of the Constitution of the
United States, repugnant to the Bill of Rights
of our own State and odious and oppressive to
our people, land urging special Session of the
Legislators 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.
: Some of the Union papers of the State also
express their disappfoYal of the Law. The
Kent County Ns,cs says, Gov. Swami will re-
commend therepeal or modification OF the Law
at the special Session of the Legislature, and
adds,a r+as,'v7si sffl 80 s.
= "The circumstances under which the law
was passed having ceased to. exist, and the
country restored to q condition of peace and
assurance, the occasion for its continuance is
now regarded even by many of its former
friends as having passed sYay, and we doubt
not it will be repealed or greatly modified by
large majority Of the Legislature. The people
Sc the South who were actively engaged in re-
beliion are being restored to all their former
rights and we Think alImustacknowledge the
Injustice Of disfranchising voters in Maryland
for mere sympathy or opinion, while the great
mass of those who composed the Confederate
armies, including officers Of high command, to-
gether with members Of the rebel Congress, are
enjoying all the immunfties and privileges that
they possessed before the Yay.y 81 ga

County Politics.

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 disaifection with
the Union Ticket before the people ofthe 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 gratf-
cation of any 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 OPP
position among loyal men to the nominated
Ticket aa
From the nominee for Congress down 10 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-
ton in their several positions They are famil-
lar 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, VIM. Foster and Henry
Shew, are all men Of good standing in their sew
erai communities. We have the first objection
to hear against the personal character of any
of them. And on election day, the Union
men will rally to their support with unanimity
that will show how heartily they approve the
nominees of the late Convention.

To the Readers of the Union.

Although our terms are So 90 year, IN adj
rance, a number of subscribers have as yet failed
TO pay their subscription for the present year.
This may arise partly from an unwillingness to

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 parts 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 adj
vertising and job work Our friends will please
take notice of this arrangement Hereafter no
one will have an excuse for failing 10 pay his
subscription.
The following gentlemen have kindly promised
10 act as our Agents. Others will shortly be ad-
ded to the List.

THE BARE Hill Copper MNEs.--By invitation
of the President and Directors of the Bare Hill
Copper Mining Company, large proportion Of
the members of the Baltimore Stock Board to-
gether witha 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 mile from the line of
the Northern Central Railroad. The machinery
and improvements were found in excellent work
ing order, and good force Of men employed in
developing the resources of the property. Those
who descended into the mine reported a superior
quality of ore coming freely into the shaft with
every indication of a continued and abundant
supply. On the ground, in the preparing rooms
and in the warehouse of the company the latter
being on the line of the railroad, there were some
1900 tons of ore awaiting shipment. The stock
holders present expressed themselves more than
satisfied with what they saw, and handsome
collation. fifty 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.

Political.


The people of Connecticut decided against
Negro Suffrage at their late election by ma
jority of about 7,00H. This result may be con-
sidered as foreshadowing tho result of the ques-
ton in other States.
The election in Ohio on Tuesday last week,
gives the Republican ticket a majority of about
$4,000. The Legislature stand thus :--Senate,
% Union, IL Democrats; House, 20 Union, 80
Democrats.
The Republican State ticket Of Pennsylva-
MIA has been elected by a majority of near
10000. Two-thirds of the Legislature will be
Union. Great efforts were made to induce the
soldiers to vote the Democratic ticket, but APP
parently with little effect.
At the recent election i'll California, the Re-
publicans carried the State and elected two
thirds of the Legislature.
The elections i'll Indiana and Iowa have also
gone Union by heavy najorities.
Every where the people are dscarding that
'so-ealled" Democracy, which but one year ago
declared the war ga failure"
