One was the refusal to admit the “Tam many” delegation. The Convention thus purged itself of all affiliation with the perpetrators of the startling frauds and corruptions which have brought such disrepute upon the Government’ of the city of New York, under the auspices of those “sachems,” from whom came the “New Departure” heresy. The other good thing they did was to treat this heresy in the same way they did its authors. We may say more of the action of this Convention when we see a full report of its proceedings. A. H.

A full Democratic Congressional delegation from Texas is not a bod legend for the Democracy—Bourbon at that, Among the foes of free Institutions, few are more insidious or dangerous than combinations, formed, under the cor rupting influence of money, to control the action of Government in either of its Departments—the Legislative, Judicial, or Executive. By corrupting influence, we mean more than what is effected by open bribery, though that is sometimes resorted to, and, of course, comes within the scope of what is intended by the the foregoing remark. A vast deal more than /ha/, however, is intended to be em braced in it. A distinguished English writer has, somewhere, said that the “fumes of gold” are as deadly to the moral sensibilities as the “fumes of charcoal” are to the physical. The truth of this observation no one will question, who is acquainted with human nature and the history of mankind. 1 « <- —* n j i The very ‘fumes of gold,” or the remote influences of money, in the matter under consideration, are as fatal as the cash, counted and pocketed. Good Government, which looks to the protection of the rights of all classes and members of society alike—the rights of the low as well us the high—the poor as well as the rich ; the rights of labor as well as of capital—-can only be properly and permanently maintained where its administration is kept pure and upright in all of its Departments. 10 '■"il-knatcn. to-oll. who are con»" sont with the annals of the human race, that there lias ever been a disposition on the part of capital to exercise au undue influence in the Administration of Public Affairs, whatever be the form of Govern ment. To this very undue influence, quite as much' as io any other single cause, is owing the fact, that there are so few free Governments in the world.—■ Money is Power, and conscious Power is seldom just. When self the wavering balance shakes, ” 4 Associated capital frequently becomes an organized Power in the State, look ing to no object so much as the advance ment and promotion <of its own exclusive interests, at the cost and sacrifice of other interests, equally* deserving the guarding care and protection of Govern ment. Hence come those huge monop olies and gigantic corporations, with exclusive rights and ^privileges, which have .been the bane aad destruction of so many Republics. The only protection which any mem ber of ^society, or class in society, corpo ration cr other body, should receive from Government, is perfect security against the wrongful acts of others upon their rights, either of person or lawful acqui sition. "We, therefore, make no var against capital honestly and justly acquired—or Corporate Eights of any sort. - Par from it; on the contrary, ,w® maintain that it is one of the .chief ends of all ficovem- ments, or should- be, to defend and pro tect capital so acquired, or rights £0 se cured; for capitai.so acquired is nothing bnt the honest .acquisitions of labor, cither on the part -si those who hold such acquisitions, or those from whom they hare been duly aud properly received. Rut, what we do war against, andj what we intend, ii£ this article, ! specially to war against, is a com bination, or combination^, of associ ated capital to control the legislation of the State, for the special benefit of such combination or combination*. These combinations, in modem times, are known in the common vernacular as “Bings.” At Washington they are known as “Whisky Rings.” “Tobacco Rings,” “Railroad Rings,” and the like. These “Rings” generally effect their nefarious purposes, iu securing, or warding off, such Legislation as they may desire, by operating upon members of the Legisla tive Department of the Government, and inducing them, by many ways and de vices that are both “wily and dark,” to sustain their measures or policy, without any regard to their political prin ciples or associations, or the general public good, This class thus form themselves into a sort of independent “political Ring, under the influence, direct or in direct, of the moneyed Power, whose in terests they subserve. Against all such Rings, “political” or “moneyed,” we wish it distinctly understood, that we do war, and shall continue to war, as long as wo can utter a word or use a pen. What we have thus said has been prompted by reports, which have gone forth from Atlanta, to the effect that ef forts are being made to form such a com bination or “Ring” in the interest of the company to whom was awarded the Lease of the State Road, with a view to control the organization of the incoming Demo cratic Legislature, and to shape the fu ture legislation of the State upon that and other kindred subjects. hether these reports be true or not, we do not know. W e are entirely unin formed as to the facts, or surmises even, upon which they rest. We, therefore, shall not repeat the names of the parties mentioned iu connection therewith. All we know is, that a report, or rumor to this effect, has gone forth, and what we mean at this time to say is, that we hold all such combinations or “Rings,” to be not only corrupt, but exceedingly mis chievous to the Public interests, and the welfare of the commonwealth. We earnestly hope, if any such pro gramme has been in contemplation, it will be abandoned. We moreover, with equal earnestness, invoke every Democratic member of the Legislature, if any such attempt shall be made, to have nothing to do with any such business. Remember the Yazoo “Ring,” and the infamy which attached to every one who became even remotely connected with it. Let the State Road'Lease, and every other act of Governor Bullock’s Administration, stand upon its legal merits, upon full and proper investiga tion before the proper tribunal. Let the Legislature organize upon no principle, except Democratic principles, on which the majority was elected. Upon these principles they can give no countenance to corruption in places either low or high. In the selection of their officers, therefore, let both Houses look mainly to ability and fidelity to cany out the great trust committed to their charge, with a fixed determination to be governed, in all therir actions from the beginning to the end, by no policy, but that which shall best vindicate TELEGRAPH NEWS By the Sew York Associated Press.

A. H. S. NOON REPORT. THE FIRST BRAND. Chicago,- October 9.—The Saturday night’s fire has been subdued, after a loss of half a million. Vincent, Nelson & Co.’s immense grain elevator was saved. Another fire in the Western district and-interests I commencedat 9 o’clock Sunday night. If any (LL-IockyiiiLS morning, the fire had Work for tlic Fair. The indications for a grand exposition are .most flattering. Mr. Volney Dun ning, .Superintendent of the -Fair, re ports, an almost universal disposition on the part of the merchants and manufac turers <of the city to exhibit. Houses of every class—dry goods, groceries, shoes and boots, hardware, produce, stoves and tinware,-furnishing goods, tobaceses, mu sic, wines and liquors, foundries and machine ^hops—will all turn out articles for exhibition. Now, lei .every citizen tarn to and aid our enterprising officers of the Fair .As sociation in making a Fair of which, our city will have cause to be proud. The Fair has b&en thoroughly advertised throughout the North and West, aud from those seciions we will receive many interesting and jjseful articles for the ex position. There is no reason why the Fair should not ke quite as extensive as the one here last year. Numerous entries .are already made ou the books of the Secretary, who, in con junction with Superintendent Dunning, has planned a sys'tesa of management which is absolutely perfect. Diagrams of the different halls are made, and space is assigned exhibitors without the necessity of visiting the grounds. Roth Secretary Echols and Superinten dent Dunning are actively at work and they are determined that every exhibitor shall have satisfaction. Wednesday, the 18th instant, the May or aud Council request that the citizens aud business mea of Atlanta will observe as a general holiday, as was the case in Nashville on one of the days during the recent Fairat that city. An agent has been dispatched to Rome to attend the Fair which begins there to-day, to induce the exhibitors attend ing there to attend the Fair here also.

The flames approached the telegraph office, and the wire com menced falling. Twenty blocks have been destroyed. The wind is blowing a gale from the South, and the flaming brands are flying over the city, threaten ing destruction everywhere. The tower of the court house caught fire from the. flying brands. The fire has reached West Monroe street, a mile from its origin, and is now beyond the control of firemen. The immense lumber yards, with freight depots, have been burned. The loss already amounts to many mil lions. SPREAD OF THE DEMON. The whole city is threatened. The panic is increasing. At half-post two o’clock the telegraphers abandoned the Western Union Telegraph office. 10, A. M.—The entire business portion of the city has been destroyed. All the banks, express, telegraph and newspaper offices, except the Tribune, six elevators and the water works have been burned. There is no water in the city. Not less than ten thousand buildings have already been destroyed. The fire has burned a distance of five miles, andJ is still raging. The wind is blowing a gale. It will be almost impossible to get any reliable detailed particulars in some time, as there is only one telegraph wire working, and that only to the suburbs. EXTENT OF THE CONFLAGRATION'. Washington, October 9. — Thirty- four blocks have been burned in Chicago, and the fire is still raging. The Mayor of Chicago has sent a mes sage to tho Mayor of St. Louis asking aid for the sufferers, saying the city is in ashes. n The water works have been burned, to the ground. Other accounts say that the Tremont House, Post Office, Telegraph Building and the Merchant Exchange have been burned. Later.—The fire is still raging aud spreading Southward. A Railroad Su perintendent telegraphs that the fire has reached Wabash Avenue and is spreading rapidly. His location is three miles south of Wabash Avenue. He expresses the opinion that the lire will reach him be fore night. BJNKIN'G HO USES ALL EES CEO YE SI. Mr. Wilson, Superintendent of the Chicago telegraph office, telegraphs that every banking house aad railroad depot iu the city lias been burned. He is try ing to get an office established in the Supply Department, but the fire is com ing down Wabash Avenue, and he ex pects to be burned out there before night. Noon dispatches from Chicago slate that the fire is raging, A large fire has broken out in Detroit, Michigan. The President has telegraphed to the Commanding General at Chicago to issue rations and clothing to the sufferers, and if the supply is insufficient, to call on St Louis. Fully one-ihird of Chicago is in ruins, and the fire is still raging. The Tremont House is gone. The conflagration still progresses. As sistance is going from all points. The railroads carry provisions free in fast trains. REPORT. A MASS OF RUIN'S. Chicago, October 9.—Madison mar ket, and Clinton, Jefferson, Buffalo and Griswold streets are ruined on both sifles. The Chicago river is a mass orf*ruius.— Efforts to save the Court House and Gas Works were futile. Thirty or forty ves sels are burning now, and many have been destroyed. Every man iff the city has been, called for duty. Nearly every bridge over the Chicago river has been burned. All is terror. The fire is under controL Three quar ters of the cily lying North of the river are in ruins. OFFERS OF RELIEF. The Mayor of Cincinnati telegraphs to the Mayor of Chicago tendering the Fire Department and provisions. Many houses were blown up to stop the conflagration without effect.' A mass meeting was held in Ohio, Governor Hays presiding, for the relief of Chicago. The Crosby Opera House has been de stroyed. The loss is now estimated at fifty millions of dollars. The Palmer House was burned. The Chief Engineer of Cincinnati, with their engines and hose, have started for Chicago. 130,000 HOMELESS PEOPLE. Englewood,- ten miles from Chicago, 11 o'clock.—One-half of the city is de stroyed. The flames continue almost unopposed. The gas works has been de stroyed. The court house and all heavy business houses have been destroyed. A hundred and fifty thousand people are houseless. Fabulous prices are paid for vehicles to carry valuables from danger. The bridges are destroyed. The loss of life is unknown, but the streets are fille d with people looking for the lost. RUIN' UNIVERSAL. 5 p. m.—The entire business part of the city north of Twelfth street, on all sides of the river and branches, has been destroyed. Every printing office, hotel and rail road depot have been burned. The whole north side is reported destroyed. A large district is still burning on the West side and north of Twelfth street. The fire has been stayed at Harrison street. From there to Division street and from the river to the lake, an area of four miles long and one wide, is all swept off. The wind is blowing a gale from the southwest. A change to the north is al most- sure to sweep the entire residence district south of Twelth street. It is asserted that the water works are still all right, but the water has keen shut off the south to supply the demand on the north. Thousands are leaving the city by ev ery available means. Great hunger and suffering are inevitable. . GOOE SAMARITANS. Every city and town offers assistance. Buffalo subscribes one hundred thousand dollars, Cincinnati two bnndred Alum, sand." In reply, the Mayor asks for cooked food for the suffering. Firemen from other cities are eu route to Chicago. Great credit is given the telegraph superintendents for what they have done in getting communication from the doom ed city. ARTFUL WORK OF BEST RUCTION Chicago, October 9—5, p. m.—The awful work of destruction still goes on with relentless fury. From Harrison street, in the south, to Division street, in the north, and from tho river to the lake, an area of four miles long by one wide, the flames have swept everything. It is estimated that at least 100,000 peo ple are homeless and in a suffering con dition. The streets still unbumed, are lined, for miles, with such household goods as have been saved from destruc tion. The most generous offers of assistance in money, food, or anything wanted, are coming in from almost every city and town in the country by telegraph. The Mayor responded to several offers, ask ing that cooked food be provided as soon as possible. Firemen are on their way here from Cincinnati, St. Louis, and other cities. Tho waterworks are entirely destroyed. Buildings are now being blown up on the line of the fire, in au attempt to ar rest its progress. Later.—It is now believed that the spread of the fire southward, has been stayed at Harrison street, but on the north side there' is no diminution of its fury. This entire division of the city is evidently doomed to utter destruction. There are grave fears that the flames may spread to the West side of the north branch of the river and the inhabitants of the streets nearest the river are already moving to a place of supposed greater safety. The Western Union Telegraph Com pany have now six wires working east and south into a temporary office on the cor ner of State and Sixteenth streets. Tho Northwestern Railroad Company are run ning trains on both its branches, which are crowded with flying citizens. It now positively asserted by some that the water works are still intact, bnt that the water is shut off from the south ou ac count of the quantity used on the north side. A RAY OF BOPJE, A reliable gentleman just arrived from the North Division brings intelligence that the water works are uninjured. God grant it may be true! EXTENT OF THE EAM AGE. It is impossible now to give an ap proximately correct statement of the losses, but a faiut- idea may be formed, when it is stated that every bank in the city except two savings institutions, on 22d street, South Division, and one on Randolph, West Division, are de stroyed. All wholesale stores and all re tail establishments, the Postoffice, Court house, Chamber of Commerce, and every hotel in the South Division except the Michigan Avenue Hotel, which, standing on the extreme southern limit, escaped, though badly scorched; every newspaper office; the Tribune building, which was supposed to be fire-proof, finally suc cumbed; every the u '. - x of the largest eleyaters, the immense depots or the Michigan Southern and Illinois Central Railroads, both the passenger and freight, depots of the latter, more than half a score Churches and much of the shipping in river are all destroyed. Men who were millionaires yesterday mom ing are nearly penniless to day.— 0 But more to terrible them all is the cer tainty that many perished in the flames. How many, none can tell. Perhaps no- one c-ver will bo able to tell; but it is certain that several perished, aud there are heart-sickening fears that.tke victims will be counted by scores. Hundreds of horses aud cows have been burned in stables; and on the North side, numbers of animals, though released from con finement, were so bewildered and con fused by the sea of fire which surrounded them that they rushed wildly to and fro, uttering cries of fright and pain until scorched and killed. Any attempt at a description of the scones aud appalling calamity would be - jdle. The simple fact is that the onco great city of Chicago is destroyed, that hundreds of millions of active cap ital here have vanished, and nearly a third of Chicago’s inhabitants are house less and dependant. Any attempt to em bellish would be mockery. As the awful day draws to a close, thousands of anxious eyes watch tke- clouds of smoke, which still roll over the burnt district, with evident dread that a sudden change in the wind may turn the flames on the portion of the city- yet spared. There seems, however, to be - little cause for apprehension of it, and the firemen from other cities are con- • stantly arriving. Col. J. J. Wilson, Superintendent of the telegraph, is in receipt of dispatches from the leading cities, announcing that aid is being prepared for the sufferers. Col. Cloway, of St. Lotus, telegraphs t'lat seventy thousand dollars have been subscribed by the merchants there. Chv ■ cinnati promises two hundred thousand,. and Cleveland is proportionately gener ous, although a great deal more will bo required to relieve the Immediate wants. Everything is being done by General Stoger and his assistants to keep up com munication, for tho citizens and press, with the world outside. About three-quarters of tho United States mail was saved, and taken posses sion by Col. Wood, of the postal service. TELEGEAIS- New York, October 9.—An earthquake-' is reported throughout New Jersey. A report just received says the fire in Chicago is burning as far south as Harri son street and as far north as Chicago Av enue aud badly on the west side.
