To give the public an idea of how the present
board is conducting registration, we may men
ton that the names of the senior editor OF this
paper and two employees in the Union office have
been omitted in copying the list, though all
three were registered and voted last spring II
is not possible that such omissions should occur
by mistake. They are of design, with the inten-
ton of compelling legal republican voters 70
swear in their votes on election day. 1t il a
mean and criminal business on the part Of the
two copperheads on this board, and is additional
proof that they are running their business entire
H. in the interests Of the copperhesd party.
Where copperheads control the registration
boards we advise republicans to beware or they
will be cheated out Of their EOtes.--Rim UHiou,

ACCIDENT TO THE STEAMER KEITHsBURG.-
Last night, while the Keithsburg was on
her way up, when few miles below Musca'
tine, an accident occurred to one Of her en-
gines injuriag it so that it became useless.
She came up with one engine, and arrived
here at $50 this morning, some or hours
behind time. Her passengers were sent
forward to Port Byron by an extra train.
She will lay here for repairs, and another
boat will be put on the line in her place.
IHE republicans are making most extraor-
binary efforts for q large meeting on Saturday.
The speakers they advertise are men Of no
distinction but they are, nevertheless, doing
al. they can for big meeting. They want
to try and beat the O'Brien meeting,--a job
they can't do, unless they get help from out
side the county. Our meeting was almost
entirely made up of people from our own
county.
We hope they will have a fair day, for we
dislike to see the ladies and the little girls
disappointed in making pretty turnout
When we had our meeting the radicals
very uuciyiIly Haunted their flag across the
street in our faces, and it required all the
caution Maj. Connolly was master Of to pre-
vent collision with it. He stationed faith
fl. men near it to prevent any one from in
terfering with. 1t was piece Of iuclvillty
and probably intended as such, to run it ou
on that day. We shall not initiate the ques
tiouabe decency of the radicals by running
our Gag out, on the day of their meeting.
Saturday next is their day, and we urge
every democrat to avoid all controversy
with them on that day. Several radicals
the day of our procession, we hear, came il
collision with it, in some way, and got hurt
They made the bad mistake ofthinking the,
