Unconditional Union Meeting in Dubl in.
To the Editor Of the ASis g. htelJigencer:

10 The Editor OF the AsSis g. IntelIigencer:
Mr.. EDITOR Tho Radica element
ofthe 9th Election District met at Dublin,
on the 10Th inst, to send delegates to the
County Convention. Rev. Postmaster
was called to the Chair, and an ex- Custom
House official appointed Secretary. The
Registry law appeals TO be the engrossing
topic of interest. Mr.. Jewett advocated
its modification OF repeal, which brought
a number of gentlemen to the floor The
Dr., who would have represented us in
the Legislature, if there had not been a
majority of voters in the county opposed
to him, said that "the Registry law should
be enforced and that you ought to hold
them while you got them.'' The Rev. p.
NJ, who did not take this occasion to give
his views on the policy of the President,
at this time, when there is such q rafting
amongst the dry bones of Office holders,
yet did so on the registry law, and said
its repeal would be a virtual surren-
der of the hopes and destinics of the
Union party, that they had been battling
for The treasurer Of the Coal Oil Com
pany, which, by the way, is now in want
of funds, said the rebels should not be al
to vote until 1870, or until the rebels in
the South voted.
The worthy Constable who was on the
alert that no one broke the peace, remark
ed that they oil should be born again.
The question then required, who should
be recommended to the Governor for reg
istration officers for this District. Elsm
suggested the propriety of recommending
his brother colleague, Alexander Heaps,
who, he stated, was firm man. Finally
it was resolved to recommend Joshua,
aud the then Rev. 2. Nj. suggested that
as the Governor was now opposed to
them, he would doubt the propriety of
making recommendation by this meet
ting and it was concluded to sign the
recommendations as individual citizens.
Query? Wonder if the Governor will
not be advised of this meeting? They
then appointed ten delegates to represent
them in Bel Air at the County meeting,
desiring, as they stated, that none should
be appointed but true men, as now they
hardly knew to trust.

Well, on Tuesday afternoon, while the
circus was in full blast, ard fun was run

appeared at the entrance queer looking

officials on the shoulder, saying "let him
go, he's all right" So it proved. They

stranger; and when be acted his part so

HowE's CIRcUs.-This Company, which is one
of the finest we have ever SEEM performed in this
town on Saturday last, and although their per-
formance far exceeded anything ofthe kind usu-
ally witnessed in country places, it fell short
of their grand entrance into the town.
Their equipage was certainly the most gorgeous
we have ever SEEM Their wagons harness, and
saddles, and the dresses ofall in attendance were
new and elegant, while their liberty car, on the
top of which was coucbed an immense lion, was
of sufic lent interest to attract large crowds to
the streets through which it passed.

The Tortures ofth Inquisition Revived in

According to the Philadelphia hquir-

ordered him to be subjected to severe

above named radical sheet
"According to the ordinary practice
with men confidently believed to be de.
serters: be was stripped and confined in a
small room, while through an aperture in
the door, heavy stream Of water was
played upon him. This is one of the
severest of corporal punishments"
We should think so, AID should like
TO know in how many cases it has proved
fatal That it did not so prove in the
particular case Of Auton Probst, is to he
regretted bad he died under it when ar.
rested on suspicion of being desertor,
the world would have been well rid of the
greatest monster Of modern times. But
at the time he received this atrocious
punishment, there was nothing known
against him, he was only suspected of being
u soldier. Now, out of millions who
read of Probst's arrest in Philadelphia on
the charge Of murder, which charge all
believe to be well founded, how many
would have advocated Or approved of u
return to the fortunes of medieval barba-

Several hundreds of men have been

FOUND DEAD.-On Monday last the lifeless
body Of negro named John Prizes, was found
in piece of woods near Swan Creek not far
6 below the Philadelphia and Baltimore turnpike
Sroad. He was seen on the day in question, by
some persons in the neighborhood, to turn out
OF the road along which he was passing into the
woods, and shortly after the report oftwo shots
were distinctly heard by the persons who saw
him enter the woods, but no notice was taken of
it at the time. Shortly afterward, Price was
found with two bullet holes in the head which
must have produced instant death. He was an
industrious, inoffensive man, and robbery must
have been the object of his slayer. He had been
fishing for Mr.. Carver and left the shore for his
home at Havre de Grace on the morning with
seventy or eighty dollars Oh his person, none of
which was found about him when his body
was discovered. Who the guilty party OF. par
ties are is thus far unknown and we have not

the act to punish treason, passed July II,
1862, the second section of which pro.
vides that any person who shall hereafter

against the authority of the United States,
shall be imprisoned not exceeding ten
years, or be fined not exceeding $4,000

GUS 1t is also SAID that Justice Field Of

opinion that this section repeats all previ.
GUS provisions of the law for the punish
ment of treason. Jobnson's plan for the
trial of Jeff. is regarded here as farce
and mockery.

The F1sHERlrs.-Most of the fishermen on the
Susquehanna river and at the head of the Bay,
have cut out their seines. None of them have
made very profitable fishisg, but we know of
none who lost any money. There are some few
still holding on, though they are not doing
much, and few days at most will close the sea-
son. The high prices which all kinds of fish
commanded this season saved the fishermen from
loss, and not the quantity caught. The season
has been very bad one for the OILERS. Stormy
weather and high winds, are always very hurt
ful to this class of fishermen, and this season has
been peculiarly Improbable on that account.

John M. Bolts. the HUNGRY Man"

John M. Bolts seems to be not only greatly
disappointed, but grievously chagrined, that
the Southern delegates in the Philadelphia
Convention did not create ''muss'' and divi-
sion in that body. He says the "secesh' are
now on his side and on his PLATFORM and
exclaims: "Oh, am ashamed Of this South
ern meanness." He asks: "What will not
bread and butter do with hungry man.
Bolts, himself, is the best illustration of what
the failure to get official ''bread and butter
will do with hungry man. He says:
ssHenceforward, we stand on the same plat
form of principles, though [ cannot consent to
act in cooperation with them at the polls -
The reason is, that his cooperation with them
at the polls will not secure 'bread and butter
for the hungry man, JOHN M. BoTTs.

Federal Soldiers Convention.

The Soldiers and Sailors approving the Pres
ident's restoration policy, and endorsing the
principles announced by the National Union
Convention at Philadelphia, have decided to
hold their convention at Cleaveland, Ohio, Sep
TENDER 18th, instead of at Chicago, as hereto
fore announced. One hundred Generals, and
the same number Of Colonels and other officers
have united in this call to meet ON the anniver-
sary of the day on which the Constitution was
proclaimed by our forefathers in 1887. In this
call they say:
However much we regret to sever cherished
political associations, and to cooperate with
former enemies, we must prefer to act with
those who have been wrong and are now right,
rather than with those who were right and now
are wrong" cd
