We PUBLISH in another column commu-
nication in which are some valuable sugges-
tions in regard to the organization of the
Ward meetings to be held to night. Delega-
tions should be elected at each meeting to
form the Central Executive Committee Of the
Citizens party, to which can be entrusted
the general management of the campaign.
The Presidents of the Ward meetings should
also be authorized to call the citizens Of the
Wards together whenever it may be neces-
sary a good working committee is wanted
in each Ward. The Democratic club work
ing committees have been great service to
the Democratic party, and for the Munich
pal elections similar committees would be
invaluable. According to the terms Of the
resolutions adopted at the conference on
Saturday, the nominating committees elec-
ted to- night will meet at the Masonic Hall
at P. NJ. to- morrow to nominate candidates
for Mayor and Aldermen. The Executive
Committee might meet at the same time.

Selma and Chnrleston-Another Link
in tho Chain.

The railroad from Selma, Alabama, to
Rome, Georgia, is completed and open for
traffic, and passengers and freight are now
brought from Selma via Rome to this city.
The first train passed over the new line
on Saturday last, making the trip from
Selma to Rome in twelve hours. 1t brought
one car of cotton for Philadelphia, and one
car of cotton for Boston, to be shipped by
way of Charleston.
This is another link in the chain of
Charleston commerce; and, passing as it
does through country blessed with mex
haustible mineral and agricultural wealth,
the Selma and Rome Railroad will be
most valuable feeder to our port. Our
Southern and Western connections are be-
ing gradually extended, and our home rail-
roads are e1erting themselves to the ut
most to build up and develope our trade.
Witk proper cooperation at this end of the
line, and sufficient mmsrcial capital,
Charleston need fear neither rivalry nor
opposition.
Now that the Selma road is open, No
gomery may learn that it is TO her ad'an-
tage to have two lines of railroad to the
