Old men and women, mothers with cling

most economical on record, it turns out to
be the most extravagant Of any in our an

than $409, 20S,S 33. was collected from the
inhabitants Of the United States in the shape
of Federal taxes-that is equivalent to

TIE PoLYoAMY TR1AIs.-The first of the
trials Of the polygamists before the United
States Court at Salt Lake has ended in con-
viction. The accused, Thomas Hawkins,
is one of the leading lights in the Mormon
Church, and the principal witness against
him was bis first wife, whose trials under
the yoke of her Turk Of husband seem to
have been peculiarly severe. The sentence
imposed is a fine Of $500, and imprison-
ment for three years. Thus the crisis in
Mornonism has been reached.

The SUFFERING IN THE NORTHWEST. -
The Tribune appeals to the generous in be-
half of the sufferers by the Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota fires. Probably
$4,000 persons in northern Wisconsin and
Michigan have been stripped of every pos
session by these fires. Many of them have
also been rendered sick, blind Or cripple by
the ordeal, which will necessarily make them
objects OF charity for some time to come -
Unfortunately, too, where whole families
and whole communities we're involved in the
common ruin, there are no neighbors nor
relatives on whom, as in Chicago, some Of
the sufferers can fall back for assistance. -
They can merely flock in masses to the near
est town unscathed by the flames, there to
starve Or freeze unless timely aid arrives
There should, for humanity's sake, be
prompt and ccpio,.z contribution of money,
clothing and articles most needed The
Governors Of Wisconsin and Michigan are
the most appropriate channels through
which aid can be administered.

Dear Sir Il am not only willing, but

with the truth. to promote the election Of

been that it would be impolitic, with view
to the success of the ticket (regular) for me
to make sl.ch declaration, and earnest
supporters Of the ticket have advised me to
say nothing more. I cannot IN the darz,-
ness of the room, and at this late hour, give
the reasons in detail, or at ALL II, how
ever, it is thought advisable that the declar-
atiop should be made. I authorize it to be
stated that I agiN not serue under the cir
cumstances, if elected, but I beg that it will
be Gone without any appearance of my in
truaing myself upon the public further than
necessary. Yours,

The late Conservative County Conventit

The late Conservative County Convention
was comprised of Delegates-an equal mum.
ber-sent from every Township in the Coun.
ty and Ward in the City Che meetings,
held in the various Townships and Wards,
were the largest, as q general thing, ever
held. They selected their delegates, and
whether they instructed them or not, matters
not. There was no preponderance from
any section of the County. as in other con-
yentions, but all were equally represented.
So fair was it considered to be that no can
didate raised his voice against it, On the
contrary, all submitted their claims, and it
was understood, through them, or their
friends, that they would abide its decision.
Every aspirant could not be nominated, nor
could every delegate in the Convention get
bis choice. We doubt if any ONE of them
was entirely pleased with the selection
throughout, but if any one could have been
the balance could not possibly. Tt neccssa-
Ely It4uItu d CUuS6oStUu W Iue views OF
others, Gas the result of any election does, }
and as all men know that go into conven-
tions, and therefore it should be acqu;esced
in and the nominees supported.
For the reason that the meetings were
large, the representation equal all over the
county, and no objections urged beforehand,
we conclude and believe it one Of the fairest
conventions ever held in the County.
We, therefore, urge upon our readers the
support of the nominees, as the best thing
We can do under the circumstances By
supporting them, we ensure the defeat of
Radical Candidates from Augusta, which
we can net do by supporting Independent
Candidates. The latter course is most sure
to lose US the County representation.
Let us then, as one man, With the issue
before Us, Radical domination or Conserya-
tive supremacy in Virginia, as one man
vote for the regular nominees and thus Sc
cure the peace and prosperity of the State
in the future.
