The Judges OF Ele Ction.

Eg-At Radical Mass Meeting held in
Baltimore last week it was resolved to pro-
tect the Judges Of Election who would ex-
clude from voting those recently register

party. We would advise such of the
Judges in this county who design thus
acting upon this promise Of protection.
that it would be good policy to secure a
bond Of indemnity beforehand. We think

EF For the information Of sH persons
concerned we publish the following Act Of
Assornb3y; passed March 9th. 1865. pro-
hibitinS shs sale OF giving away Of istozi-
eating drinks on the day Of election. The
law is q most excellent one and every lover
of peace, order and qniet should see that It
is not violated. and in case Of violation see
that the offender is punished according to
law. We hope that both parties will unite
at least on this platform. e
The Act says:-"That II shall not be lawful for
the keeper Of any hotel, tavern, store, drinking
sstablishssent ~ eng other place where liquors
are solt4 or fds any person or persons, directly,

day Of any election hereafter to 10 held in the
several counties of this State. .t.

EEOur candidate for Congress, Col.
Maulsby filled his appointment to speak =.
this place on Saturday evening last. He
was favored with large and attentive
audience which he agrceably entertained
for near two hours. His speech was 9
mastery piece Of logic addressed to the
reason and not to the passion Of his hear
ers, and it is to be hoped that it will not
fail to produce beneficial effects. ..-
The meeting was also addressed by DR..
". D. Tobey. one Of our candidates fo1
the Legislature. and BY Messrs. Grove,
Mottcr. and Neill Of Hagerstown.
We are gratifcd in being able to state
that quiet and good order very generally
prevailed during the entire evening. A.
we hope will be the case on all similar
occasions hereafter, not only here, but
elsewhere in the county.

The lstttsburs Convention.

There were quito nambcr of queer
military characters at the $50 called) Sol
diers' Convention which assembled at
Pittsburg. There was Beast Butler, the
hero of Big Bethel, of the Dutch Gan
Canal and of Fort Fisher; there was Banks,
who acted as Comnissary General to
StoRcwall Jacksop in the Valley Of Virgin
il, and afterwards sacrificed an army on
his famous cotton stealing expedition up
Red River; there was Burnsids, the hero
Of Fredericksburg; there was Vienna
Sehenck. there was Sniekersville Geary;
there was General John Charles Fremont,
who managed so magni6cently in Missou-
ri; there was Carl Schurz. and Parson
Moody and whole host of other incom-
petepts whose" scrvices" amounted in the
aggregate to nothing but blunders, dis
astcrs. brutalities, plunderings Of the enemy
and robbery of the Government,
The principal speech in the Convention
WAS by the cock-eycd, corked-up Massa-
chusetts, Major General. The ..Bcast"
was in his element. lie spoke glibly, of
battles that others had fought, but never
alluded to those in which his utter igno-
rance and incomsctcncy. had brought dis
pstcr and disgrace on the Union cause.
lie alluded to New Orleans, but said moth :
Ing of the gross insult lie offered to the
women Of that city, or of his Unsuitable

He argued the rights Of the Southern pco-
pie in his usual pettifogging style. and
game to the conclusion that they had no
rights. When hc spoke of the Southern
leaders he grew fierce and truculent. lie
would hang Jeff. Davis, whose most obse-
auious supporter no once was, not because
lie was the worst man in the Southern
Confcdcrscy, but because che chose to

terms of surrender sanctioned by Lincoln

NJ How often has it been iteTatcd aud
reiterated that in the late war the South
was the aggrcssor- shccauselssly and
wantonly plunged the nation into war? To
question this assertion at one time would
have secured the questioucr quarters in
some yankee prison pen. but now we have
the admission Of the pittsburg Soldiers
Convention (''loyal," we presume) that
the John Brown raid into Virginia was
"the first fighting of the conflict the
initiation of the war. II is undoubtedly
true that on that occasion the G Government
property was first taken possession of. the
flag FIRST fired upon and the "boys in blue"
FIRST called upon to defend it. The admis-
sion Of all this is to be found in the follow.
ing proceedings of the Radical Soldiers
and Sailors Convention lately in session at
Pittsburg:-
"Major Wilson, ef1ndiana, said he observed
the delegates from Virginia and Kansas sitting
side by side in the Convt ntion. 1t would be re-
membered that the first fighting of the conflict
just.ended occurred between these two States at
liarpcr's Ferry. In order that the humble indi-
ridual at the White House might have something
to shed tears over, be suggested three cheers for
Virginia and Kansas. .t. ....
A legate-You make them hug.
Major Wilson-Yes, move that they take +
hug.
The Chair Major Wilson moves that, for e.
f.ak L.. ii
ington may have cause TO shed tears, the repre-
sentatives ofvirginia and Kansas, who took part
in the first conflict, be greeted by the "soys in
Blue"
The motion was carried, and three cheers were
giteh for Virginia and Kansas"
