From Cincinnati.
Cincinnati, March 18,1880.
To-night the city of Cincinnati enters
tains lier guests, between two and three
thousand in number, from along the line
of road to the sea. The entire city is open
to visitors, and her hospitality is regal and
unbounded. W.
Washington, March 17.—The Senate
executive session to-day was mostly
devoted to the case of Rev. Thomas J.
Simmons, nominated as census supervisor
for the Fifth district of Georgia. The ad
verse report of the Senate committee was
read and supported by argument from
Senator Morgan. Senator Hill then spoke
for some time in advocacy of Simmons
confirmation, but without concluding Ins
remarks yielded to a motion to adjourn,
and the case went over for further discus
sion to-morrow. _ ,
Mesiphis, March 17.—John C. Wick-
off, second clerk of the steamer ‘-Hard
Cash,'’ this morning shot and finally
wounded Lewis Taylor (colored), a dray
man. The difficulty originated in Taylor's
refusal to sign for cotton which he had put
on his ii ray. Wickoff was arrested.

New York, March 17—A special from
shanghai says the treaty relative to the
territory of Kuhlja, lately negotiated with
ltnssia by tlic Chinese ambassador Chung
How, is held by the authorities at Pekin
to lie unpatriotic and derogatory to the dig
nify of China. Shrewd judges believetliat
tlie Emperor has been'advised that the
Kuldia indemnity is too great, and that
the Lest way to avoid paying it is to with
hold his notification of the treaty. Chung
How is made a scapegoat in the matter.
The decision carries with it grave compli
cations between China and Russia, for the
Czar will certainly resent the severe pun
ishment of the envoy. Indeed, it is
scarcely possible to exaggerate the gravity
of tin: situation. A sudden warlike spirit
seems to have gained possession of the
Chinese people. On all sides there are
sviuptoms of a coming struggle before
which all the wars of Europe will fade
into insignificance. The green banner
army is being carefully trained in the
principles of European tactics. Their
sjiears and matchlocks are being replaced
by rifles. The bamboo lances of the cav
alry are giving place to the orthodox sa
llies of the Hritish troops. The Govern
ors General of the eighteen provinces of
the Empire have been charged witli spe
cial military commissions and new pow
ers arc conferred on members of their

The bill reported by Senator Jones of [ he warned Cincinnati to meet and over-
Florida, from the Senate Committee on
Public Lands to-day, provides that where
any lands of the United States shall have
been entered, and the Government price
paid for them in fall, no suit or proceed
ings, civil or criminal, by or in the name
of the United States, shall thereafter be
prosecuted or instituted for any trespasses
on or for any "material taken from said
lands prior to March 1st, 1870; provided,
that defendants shall pay all costs accrued
prior to said entries. It also provides that
the Government price of all lands within
railroad limits, which were raised to $2.50
per acre, shall be reduced to $1.25 per
aere. The main purpose of the bill is to
relieve from prosecution, upon the terms
above stipulated, large numbers of citi
zens of the Gulf States who, from ignor
ance of the law, or carelessness, and un
der implied and express license from the
United States Government, have com
mitted trespasses upon public timber
lands prior to March 1st, 1879. The com
mittee take the ground that previous to
that date fair warning had not been given
of the changed policy intended to be pur
sued by the Government, but subsequent
trespasses are not included in the bill’s
provisions.
Washington, March IS.—At the ex
piration of the morning hour, the Senate
proceeded to consider the House bill for
till* establishment of titles in Hot Springs,
Arkansas, the question being on substitute
reported by the Senate committee on pub
lic lands. This substitute provides for an
appeal in contested cases to a court of
claims instead of circuit courts, and re
duces the assessment of the commission
ers by fifty per cent.
After a long debate, the Senate ad
journed without action on the bill.
The House then went into a committee
of the whole on the postal deficiency bill.
Mr. Reagan withdrew his amendment
offered yesterday, and the amendment of
Mr. McMahon, appropriating $0,655,000
for the payment of the army and navy
pensions \ as agreed to by yeas, 137; nays,
13. ,
The question then recurred on the
amendment submitted by the appropria
tions committee, appropriating $600,000
for the payment of marshals and general
deputy marshals.
The amendment offered by Mr. Hiseoek
extending the appropriation to the pay
ment of special deputy marshals was voted
down—yeas 105, nays 124.
Mr. Springer, under direction of the
committee on Elections, offered an amend
ment appropriating $7,600 for special
deputy marshals with a proviso that here
after general and especial deputy mar
shals shall be appointed by the Judge of
the United States Circuit Court in the
district where such officers are to serve;
shall not be more than three or less than
two in number for each voting precinct;
shall be of different political parties, able
to read and write, and well known resi
dents of tlie political precinct where they
perform their duties, and shall receive
two dollars per day as full compensation
for their services at any election.
Mr. Garfield offered a substitute
for Mr. Springer's amendment in
creasing the pay of general and special
deputy marshals to five dollars per day,
aud striking out so much of Mr. Springer’s
amendment as restricts the number of
such officers and prescribes that they shall
belong to different political parties aud be
of good character, etc.
Mr* Cox, of New York, said he was op
posed to any recognition of special deputy
marshals of Federal supervision over elec
tions. “For one,” he said, “I will not

ting was one of the most sensational in
the annals of tlie Italian Parliament. Sella

DmiJN, March 17.—At a meeting of
tlie Mansion House Relief Committee to
day a letter was read from Bishop Logue,

Cincinnati, March 18.—Four trains

tions and ringing of bells, display of fire
works, etc. The city was profusely deco
rated and brilliantly illuminated. A
grand banquet is to be given in Music-Hall
to-night. • \
Sew York, March 18.—A Lynchburg
special says three large tobacco factories
were destroyed by fire there yesterday.
Tlie fire began in the wooden factory of
Wood & Bro., and finally extended to the
brick factories of Ford & Smith and Han
cock & Moorman, both of which were de
stroyed. The total loss is estimated at
StfJ.OOO to $70,000. Insurance $55,000.
London, March 18.—The Standard
states that the report that the Dnke of
Connaught is to succeed the Duke of
Marlborough a3 Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land, is absolutely unfounded.
A Taris dispatch says it is possible that
the difficulties in the way of applying the
Ferry education bill, will compel the Gov
ernment to submit to a new bill. Thanks
to the vote of confidence in the Chamber
of Deputies, Ferry will escape for the
present from a resignation, yrtiich was Ul
timately inevitable. r

His amendment striking-out the word

Mr. Vance moved to amend the bill so
as to read, “that the Secretary of the Na-
jy be authorized and directed to introduce
into tlie naval service rope and cordage
manufactured of cotton, according to re
cent methods, to such an extent as will
furnish a fair test of the value and effi-,
ciency thereof, as compared with the kinds
m>w in use.” The amendment wqe agreed
ing general deputy marshals. Penning
further action, tlie Committee rose and
the House adjourned.
The Senate to-day devoted another long
executive session almost exclusively to
the Rev. Thomas J. Simmons, nominated
as census supervisor for the Atlanta,Geor
gia, district. Senator Hill continued his
remarks in advocacy of Simmons’
confirmation, speaking about an hour
and a half, and then requesting that the
case be laid over until to-morrow for
further discussion. :u
Senator Gordon, who has not yet taken
part in the debate, but who is earnestly
opposed to this nomination, said lie had
notified the Senate that he felt obliged to
leave Washington : to-morrow morning on
important business,and he therefore hoped
liis colleague would finish to-day. In that
event, he would pledge himself not to con
sume more than-five minutes in reply,and
would then ask for a vote.':
Senator Hill, however, said he needed
another hour to complete his argument,
and as it was already nearly six o’clock,
the Senate adjourned. Senator Gordon
will, therefore, postpone his departure for
the South in order to take part in the pro
ceedings to-morrow.
- ; New Yobk, March IS.—A serious ac
cident occured on the Lebanon Valley
railroad last night at Arinviile, Pennsyl
vania. One train was standing on the
switch waiting for the night express to
pass, and a number of its'passengers had
alighted and were walking up and down
the main track. The night was dark,
and the approach of the night express was
not noticed until it dashed into a group of
careless passengers at a speed of forty
miles an hour. Three men were killed
and a number badly injured.

Eight delegates were.then elected to the
National Convention at Chicago. They

Washington, March IS.—The Secre
tary of the Treasury has ordered all in
terest on the public debt, falling due April
1st, to be prepaid without rebate, on and
after March*22d. Drafts for registered inter
est will be mailed on that date, or as soon
thereafter as possible. The amount of
such interest is about seven million dol
lars. This step is taken in order to relieve
the tightness of the money market in New
York, which is causing some anxiety.
More provisions have been offered for
the starving people of Ireland than will

The Hotise committee on revision of

Representative Singleton’s bill to give to

that the rules be suspended and the bill
put upon its passage at once.
Augusta, Me., March IS.—The Hale
committee on counting the returns in the
recent election, has made its report. It
finds that a deliberate attempt was made
to count out theRepublicans by crasions,al
terations and forgeries in tlie returns, by
allowing surreptitious corrections ofthe re
turns from Fusion towns, while denying
the same privilege to Republican towns,
and by failing to apply the same rules to
both. These fraudulent acts, the commit
tee says; must have been known to Gover
nor Garcelon and his council, and such
practices, if unrebuked, will prove fatal to
the future prosperity and progress ofthe

London, March 18.—A Vienna corres
pondent of tlie Times says there is so much
disappointment and anger in Russia over
the Hartmann allair that it is likely to
lead to tbe displacement of those diplo
mats who are responsible for raising the
issue between Russia andFrauce, without
being sure of succeeding. When Prince
Orloff, Russian Ambassador at Paris, ar
rives at St. Petersburg liis friends will join
Prince GortscliakolFs adversaries in an
endeavor to throw the responsibility on
Prince Gortscliakoff.
Revelations made through the Hart
mann affair into the workings of the third
section, (Police Department) gave the
coup de i/race to General Drentein, and
probably also to General Gourko, late
commander of tlie military district of St.
Petersburg, and Prince Gortscliakofi's ad
versaries are confident that the affair will
be equally fatal to him.
The Times, discussing tlie Hartmann af
fair, says: “Prince Orloff has been in
structed to quit Paris, and it is thought
likely that General Chanzy, French Am
bassador at St. Petersburg, will shortly be
summoned home, although the staff oftlie
respective Embassies will be left at each
capitol. This practically amounts to lit
tle short of a rapture of diplomatic inter
course between the Russian and French
Governments.”
London, March 18.—A Paris dispatch
to tlie Standard says that Felix Pyatt, a
French communist who is in exile at Na
ples, lias written a letter to' General Gar

For the first time in several years our

in each field. A very great diversity of
opinion exists in regard to the probable
extent of the damage likely to result from
the rust. Some of the farmers think that
with good weather from now on, the
young oats will grow ont of it, aud yield
very well. Others say that it will cer
tainly kill them oat completely wherever

and turning suddenly round, discovered

than another startling programme electri
fies the country. The last is contained in
the following special to the Constitution
from “H. W. G.,” which many here re
gard as veiy much en the sensational
order:
Washington, March 16.—At last the
dawn breaks on the Georgia Western, and
I am justified iu saying that it will cer
tainly be built unless there are changes
that cannot be dreamed of. In a certain
contingency, which is considered inevita
ble by those in position, I have the best
authority for saying that Atlanta will be
treated to the quickest railroad building
ever seen iu America. Estimates, maps,
and persons acquainted with the Georgia
Western, have been telegraphed for, and
will be here in a day or two. I can only
say at present that the Louisville and
Nashville is the company that is pushing
the work, and that Victor Newcomb is
the Moses that leads Atlanta out of bond
age. He has been consulting with R. T.
Wilson and other railroad men, and there
are rumors of combinations and trades
even more important than any yet made.
A gentleman whose word is weighty,
said to me to-day: “Events are rapidly
shaping for a more startling change than
any we have seen, that will make over the
railroad maps of the South.. You will see
alliances broken and friends separated,
while antagonistic elements will be
brought together.”
Tiie first step in all this will be tlie
building of the Geoigia Western. New
comb is reported as saying that he is about
satisfied that he must have his own line
into Atlanta, and the sooner he builds it
the better.
It is said that the sudden activity de
veloped here is due to tlie purchase of the
Western and Atlantic lease control by
Wadley, and furthermore that certain al
leged transactions of the lessees will be
presented to the Legislature for investiga
tion.

Bill Arp’s ode on spring:
Hark I hear the bluebird sing,
And that’s a sign of coming spring;
The wild goose flies away up yander,
She’s going North along with the gander;
The bull frog hellers in the ditches,
He’s tlirow’d away his winter britches;
The turkey gobbler steps around,
And swells and struts and ’scrapes the
ground;
Tlie hawk for infant chickens watches,
And prowls around till one he cotches;
The dogwood buds are now a swelling,
And yellow jonquils sweet are smelling;
The darkey follows his stubborn mule, _
And lively hollers “gee, you fool;”
Tlie honey bees are sweetly humming,
And everything says spring is coming.
Says the Johnsvllje (Or.) Sentinel:
Among tlie many natural curiosities of
this county it is not generally known that
there is a “floating island.” Up in the
“Siskiyous,” lying like a pearl in the great
mountain chain, is Squaw Lake, a beauti
ful sheet of water, now utilized by a min
ing company as a reservoir. For many
years the lake has been a favorite and de
lightful resort for fishing parties and con
tained, nearly in its centre, an island com
prising about one acre of ground covered
with luxuriant grass and a growth of wil
low and alder. It was never dreamed
that the pretty little island was not terra
firma, but wheu the bulkhead across the
outlet of the lake dammed up its waters
the bland rose slowly until it had been
elevated fully sixteen feet above its origi
nal level. It would be a question for the
naturalbt rather than the geologist to de
termine the age of thb floating island, as
it b evidently made up entirely of decay
ed vegetation. Perhaps at some remote
period tho roots of a tree, uptom by the
mountain storm, drifting.out into the lake
formed the nucleus from which the island
lias grown, but,It seems singular that it
should have remained anchored and un
changeable in its position. .

of the Senators, [lending the appro
priation, had the courage to declare
that, “after twelve millions had been
expended on this piece of folly, future
generations would-* never 1 be able' to
discover the puiposc .of -erecting it at
all.” He denounced its “bad aqoustic
properties, it mammoth proportions, the
extravagance that had surrounded and dic
tated its erection; its poor light,” etc.
However, the money is sure to be • vot
year after year, inasmuch as a
many statesmen in the Legislature
lirge numbers of their constituents who
are rewarded for their political services
by new capitol jobs, and new capital
jobs must be paid for. The Tweed county
court house down here cost $18,000,-
000 and is not finished yet. Compel
tent architects say as good (or as bad) an
edifice could he put up to-day for $2,000,-
000 or less. The new capitol promises to
be even more of a monstrosity. The final
cost of it, no man with any respect for his
judgment will venture to guess. The
original plan has long ago been departed
from, and the particular order of archi
tecture to which it is now supposed to be
long is a profound mystery which nobody-
can explain. ;
When Geoigia has paid her debts, and
tlie people are in a condition to do so, will

of a new State House. Until then, the
old edifice, which has been rendered, per

falsehoods for blackmail purposes.
We trust our able Senator, with whom
we sympathize deeply, will not cease his
efforts until this whole conspiracy, in all
its diabolical malignity, has been exposed,
and its originators brought to condign
punishment. The Senator is confident
that he will be able to do this, and tlie
course of a portion of the Radical press,
notably the St. Louis Globe-Democrat,
which denounces him as a Don Juan,
and, prejudging his case, rolls the scandal
as a sweet morsel under its tongue, should
be treated with scorn by every true South
erner. Senator Kellogg is credited with
springing this mine to damage Georgia’s
Senator, and thus deaden the force of his
expected expose of the fraud and rascality
ofthe fitting member from Louisiana.
We trust Mr. Hill will arise in his might,
and shake off these pernicious falsehoods
“like dew drops from a lion’s mane.”
I The following article from the Wash
ington Star contains the charges and ani
mus of Mrs. Lockwood, and the indignant
denial and explanations of Mr. Hill. We
print them in justice to that gentleman
though greatly deprecating the publication
of anything of tliat nature in the columns
of the Telegraph :
Mrs. Belva A. Lockwood, of Washing-
Ington, Saturday addressed a letter to Sen
ator Hill, of Georgia, which is made pub
lic. She-speaks of -having been informed
that the Senator “daily in the corridors
and ante-rooms of the Senate,” denounced
her in severe terms for having acted as tlie
counsel for “Miss. Raymond, a Georgia
woman,” in an allegation against Senator
Bill. After saying she had learned that
Mr. Hill designed prosecuting her for con
spiracy, blackmail, etc., Mrs. Lockwood
assures him that she is ready to meet that
Or any other accusation which tlie Senator
may bring against her. The letter con
tinues : “Even though I may fail to sub
stantiate the allegation of Miss Raymond,
who seems to have been tampered with by
you 95 some of your strikers, yet, if given
the opportunity, I think I can Clearly es
tablish the fact that you are not a Joseph
in morality,and that more than one Wash
ington family mourn and refuse to be com
forted in consequence of your actions.”
Mrs:_Loekwood then reminds tlie Senator
that he is not in Georgia, “where he can
bully and make people afraid,” but in a
community of law, order and decency,
and she requests him to meet her as “one
lawyer should meet another, with law and
facts, in the forum.” In conclusion, she
says she could call by name a family re
cently residing on Capitol Hill, “whose
sixteen-year-old daughter you (the Sena
tor) have ruined,” and who, she alleges,
is “sporting a gold watch,” that Mr. Hill
presented to her. She also says the fa
ther and brother of this girl were provi
ded with public positions by the Senator.
This letter was shown to Senator Hill by
a Star reporter Saturday, and he pro
nounced it a. “falsehood from beginning to
end.”. “It is a miserable, desperate li
bel,” he said, “and the woman must be
crazy to write such a letter. It is outra
geous to refer to persons in the general
way she does, aud attempt to scandalize,
whole families in the. way she does. I?
have never put but one person
in any position here outside of
tlie capitol. I did get the * pub-
tic printer to give an old whig friend of
mine—an old journalist—a place in the
government printing office. 1 have not in
fluence enough with this administration
to get offices for persons. Now, I don’t
know why this woman, Lockwood, pur
sues me in tlie way she does, unless it is
because I opposed her bill when it was be
fore the Senate. I not only voted against
it, but refused to see her on several occa
sions when she sent her card to me. And
one day, when I was passing through the
corridor or lobby, she undertook to stop
me to talk to me about her bill. I refus
ed to stop or to hold any conversation
with her, and 1 did hear about that time
that she was threatening to get even with
all the Senators who opposed her bill.
This, I suppose, is her grudge against me.
In that very letter she admits, in effect,
that she has failed to substantiate her first
attempt against me, and, therefore, she
makes new allegations. Now, as to Kel
logg, I have never said anything about
him in connection with this affair. I nei
ther accuse him nor acquit him.”

are an authoritative exposition of the

a as as
tinguished citizen, is discussing in a series
of interesting articles, the practical opera
tion of the freight and passenger sched
ules which have been promulgated by the
State Board of Railway Commissioners.
His first paper considered the question of
passenger fares alone. These, he does not
think, will vary much from old rates save
in the matter of sleeping car charges,
which, he says, under the new system are
unequal and unjust in their proposed
graduation as to the distance traveled.
The second communication takes up
freight rates. His first proposition is that
it is a “monstrous theory that all the
roads in the S.tate, or in any State, can
work at a uniform rate of charges.” He
says:
The elements that enter into the cost of
transportation are as numerous as the ele
ments that enter into the cost of produc
tion of most articles in use in the civilized
world, and the degrees in cost of the va
rious elements differ with every road.
Then, again, the cost per ton for mov
ing the annual tonnage of a road indepen.
dently of all expenses of operating it, bear
a direct relation to tho amount of ton
nage. Tlie heavy tonnage securing a low
cost—a light tonnage necessitating a high
cost.
T1iu3, a short road that transports say
only 5,000 tons of freight per annum can*
not in any sense whatever charge as low
fares as the 'Western and Atlantic railroad
for instance whose tonnage is a half mil
lion per annum. To require the former
then to conform to the prices of this great
thoroughfare would incontinently wipe
it out of existence. The writer cites the
following case in point:
The thriving little town of Louisville,
located in Jefferson county, Geoigia,
about ten miles from the line of the Cen
tral railroad is just such a community.
They have been making energetic efforts
for years to secure their town and section
the benefits of a rail communication with
the Central railroad and Savannah. With
in the past y<"ar and through the almost
unexampled energy of her own citizens,
this has been accomplished. I am told
that at the beginning of tho project very
grave doubts were entertained as to the vol
ume of business being sufficient to justify
construction, but it was finally ascertain
ed that a sufficient amount could be relied
upon to furnish money for operating ex
penses. That its construction should
have been undertaken with only this in
surance and with the only hope.of profits
resting in the possible increase’in the
prosperity of the town is due alone to the
vim, enterprise and sanguine expectations
of its projectors. The commissioners now
say that we have made rates that are
’“just and reasonable” for the.trunk lines
of the State and you must work for the
Same.
“Geoigia” is of the opinion, however,
that not only this road but “many , other
branch roads of light traffic in Geoigia”
cannot be operated. He contends also
that great injustice will be done to all the
roads by reducing their income below re
munerative rates; or even expenses. He
goes on to say that “cheap transportation
to the people of a State is sometlung great
ly to be desired, hut I cannot believe the
people of Geoigia desire it at the entire
expense and sacrifice of that portion of its
people who have invested their money in
transportation companies. In other
words, however much it may be desired,
injustice is too high a price for the people
ofthe Empire State of the South to pay
for it.”
To sum up the direct effect of the work
ing of the Commissioners’ schedule, upon
the future income of the principal rail
roads of the State, the writer adduces tho
following: .... .... . ...
By reference to the reports of ■ tlie rail
roads of the State—accessible to all—it
can be ascertained what percentage of
their gross income is required to op
erate them. It can be found from
their reports that the percentage of
their gross income required for opera
ting expenses for the chief and mo3t pros
perous roads in the State will vary with
different roads from 60 to 63 per per cent.,
leaving 34 to 40 per cent, as a net income.
A comparison of their present rates with
those of the Commission will show that
the reduction on these chief thoroughfares
of the State will amount to from 25 to 40
per cent, of, their gross revenue, leaving
from 0 to 10 per cent, to be applied to the
interest accruing upon their outstanding
obligations, to say nothing of dividends on
their stock, distributed as it is among all
classes of our people.
Dur critic closes Ids second article by us
ing the Macon and Brunswick Railroad and
the Savannah,Florida and Western railway
as illustrations of the probable effect in
practice of the operation of the new sched
ule. We quote as follows:
The Macon and Brunswick Railroad, so
recently sold by the State to capitalists
from without our border, at a fair valua
tion, with certainly a moral obligation on
the part of the State that the purchasers
would be allowed to make use of their
property on as fair and unrestrained con
ditions as the State was making use of it
before and at the time of the purchase.
From the last report of that road it can be
seen that 87 per cent, of its gross income
was required to pay its operating expen
ses, and this cannot ..be regarded by any
one familiar with the road’s length and
resources as an unfavorable management.
This left the State a profit on the road’s
operation of 13 per cent.
The commissioners’ rates reduce the
earnings of that road, I think, on an av
erage of about forty-five per cent., leaving
a loss of thirty-two per cent, to be sup
plied by these gentlemen who were trust
ing enough to send their millions into
Georgia. What can bp expected ofthe con-
dition of railroad property in the State af
ter a few years of * operation under these
rates? Many casefl could be cited to show
How hard this .will work on many other
roads. Upon the Savannah, Florida and
Western railway will fall, the blow quite
as hard if not harder than on the Macon
and Brunswick. It is a long line through
a thinly settled country and moving a very
limited tonnage. The rates are necessa
rily what are called high. . Yet it became
bankrupt while'working its so-called high
rates under one ofthe most Careful man
agements in the State.
After years of struggle with varying for
tunes, at last by the introduction of out
side capital, liberally expended, this road
has been given new life.
These capitalists from without Georgia
have relieved the road of its burden of out
standing obligation. They are laying it
With steel rails and constructing iron
bridges and rendering it a safe and satis
factory channel for the transportation of
freight and passengers. Not with the cur-
rent earnings of the road, for their present
expenditures must be in excess of that,but
presumably with the hope of ultimate
return, and faith in the laws of Geoigia
to give protection to all property within
her limits. Now, are they to pay a pen
alty for this ? Yet under our law and the
commissioners they do. I repeat what
1 have said before, they are made to pay
a penalty as if for a crime. Has the help
we have received in Geoigia from people
outside our boundaries been of no use?
Do we want no further aid from that di
rection that we should lay an eiribaigo on
any future influx of capital to the railroad
interests of our State—while at the same
time we involve all that is now here to
gether with tliat which has been invested
by our own citizens in the. transportation
companies in one common ruin?
It is but proper to state that the rail
road commissioners have invited confer
ences with the managers of all the roads
in the State, and we believe are ready
and anxious to do their whole duty by all
