We have nothing to say to those
who object to our insisting on all who
are opposed to radicalism allying
themselves with the democratic party,
except that there is no other party
with which they can ally themselves.
While we think there is very little in
a name, we do insist that there is q
great deal in principle, and that unity
is essential to success. Those who
really desire that the country should
be rid of the gross misrule that we
have submitted to for years should
not sickle at names.

NEW YORK.
Railroad Conference.

NEW YORK, March % "A conference of the
presidents of the three trunk lines, Erie, New
York Central and Pennsylvania roads was held
yesterday at the Erie railway Office, and re.
manned in secret session for over five hours. w.
Ell. Vanderbilt of the New York Central, said
that nothing was determined during the meet
ing that could be given to the public, and this
answer was subsequently confirmed by Presi-
dent Jewell of the Ere company. Mr.. Scott
was reticent on the subject of the meeting, es-
pecially in relation to any change of the pas
senger rates, which question occupied the at
tention of the meeting some time.
A number of western freight agents arrived
in this city yesterday to attend the regular
monthly meeting, and several others are ex-
pected to morrow.
Ofdcrs to Enforce the New Postal Law.
NEW YORK, March 23.-Postmaster General
Jewell visited Postmaster James yesterday,
and directed him to enforce the new postal law,
which requires the payment of one cent an
ounce on all mailable matter of the third class.
A similar direction has been given through the
mails to all the other postmasters in the United
States. In reference to this sudden enforce
ment Auditor Foot said this evening this law
was not intended to affect newspapers but was
designed to diminish the immense amount of
merchandise that has hitherto been
put into the mail bags, nor was it purposed to
make it effective before July. In the confusion
attending The dissolution of Congress, however,
these qualifications of the bill were not made.

JAIL REFORM.

Convention of County Commissioners.
AUGUSTA, March 23.-A convention COM
posed of the commissioners from the several
counties in Maine commenced here to-day.
Ten counties were represented. Grin Hawkes.
of Penobssot was chosen chairman, and John
Reed, of Androscoggin, Secretary. The object
of the convention is for consultation respecting
Jail workshops and Jail management. There
are Jail workshops in the counties of Penob-
scot, Lincoln and Androscoggin. Kennebec
has one finished, but not yet In operation.
Cumberland has plans for one to be built this
season, and other counties are to follow. After
discussion of the general subject, committees
were appointed on prison discipline, board Of
prisoners inspection and religious exercises,
and prison garb, to report at session to-mor-
row. The speakers were quite unanimous in
the opinion that the counties should have
charge of the work in the iails instead of let
ting it out to contractors, also that Jail work
shops should be provided not so much Tor
money makingas for the benefit of the prison.

She continued: found out about my mistake
about two weeks ago, when | was at Mrs.

difficulty by thinking it over ia my mind. MIS-.
L. left the dinner table crying and went mo

about his wife's infdelty that she placed hef

The words used before the committee when
telling this story were, [ think, committing
adultery with these three gentlemen. Inc

THE SOUTHERN TORNADO.
Great Destruction Of Property and
Life.

AUGUSTA, Ca, March 23.-The path of the
tornado was from 200 to 600 yards wide. The
cyclone was of a cylindrical shape and travelled
with fearful velocity from north to south.
The front cloud was black as night and half
mile high. The rear was illuminated by a
bright light 1t travelled due east, varying a
little north. After devastating Camak the
tornado seems to have div ded. one portion 60
ing east by north and crossing the Savannah
river above and below Augusta, both proving
equally destructive, laying waste everything in
their track. Hugh trees were broken like
reeds and in some instances were carried three
quarters OF a mile. The tornado was preceded
by dull heavy roaring as of heavy artillery in
the distance. 1t spent it's greatest fury in about
three minutes. An eye witness says the senses
were utterly deadened and appalled,. There
was a crash, roar and the mingling of a hun
dred terrific and unearthly sounds. Houses
were demolished and noble oaks that had with
stood the storms of century were snapped in
twain. A wall of distress comes up from the
devastated district, embracing eight counties
in Georgia, two or three in South Carolina.
The destruction of property is immense and
the list of killed and wounded appalling.
