Senate Callaway spoke in favor of the mrrkMTi t explaining its intentions and arguing that it snould be adoptee t ecause there were 14,000 more people in toe First district than in the Eleventh dist-icl, so cording to the present proposed apportion ment. The First district would still have 1.000 more population if the Change pro posed by the amendment was adopted. If the change was not made the Fir-t district would have a large republican majority, which would be hanger us. Senator Lamb of the Fourth district pre sented a pet Lion from the cauzaiie of liaru-n protesting against Mclntosn being transferred from the K.ret to the Eleventh district. The lianeuite* urged that the coast counties should all be represented in congress bv the same representative, Kon. Rufus E. Letter, who has c.r-adv done go and work to secure harbor Improvement a.od ■till has much in hand. They thought their materia, interests, as weii as the interest of Savannah and Brunswick, would be im paired. and called upon the representatives from Mclntosh to use their utmo-t endeavors to bare the county left lu the district with the other porta, SENATOR LAM'S APPEAL. A vigorous appeal for the amendment was made by Senator lane, who said that though be did not want to La.k out in meet Jng, be was sure there was something dead up the branch. He wanted justice and that was all. He claimed that the Eleventh district had been palmed off oa bis people without a fair voice in the matter. ■Senat-r Beck didn't want to amend the tall because, he ssid, much valuable tim would be consumed when it went back to the House, arid he wanted a speedy close to ‘ the sees.on, it it oould he had without any great injustice to any oue, or any section.

OSeua'.or Callaway also t -ok the floor again to know why it was that Chatham was the only county in the First district to oppose transferring Mclntosh county. Ho thought loaner) would get a h-tter repre ■et.ta.tf ot in a district apart from Savan cat, as she wotnd certainly be overshad ow*d. and •justly, too, by the claim* of f-avanrah.

Atlanta, Ga. , bept. 17.—There was a big meeting in Centennial hall to-nigbt, which meant a great deal in a local political way. It was a gathering of railroad men. the second meeting of the Railroad Men's Protective League, whicn was organized to take a hand in city politics a short time ago. All classes of railroad men are included in the organization, and to order to increase its power it was decided to take in the street car drivers and conductors. Already the roll foots up well cn to 1,000 voters, which shows w hat influence the body will wield. They will have their own candi dates for all the city offices. Atlanta’s tammasy. It is to he Atlanta’s Tammany. It is un derstood that a prominent citizen, a director in the East Tennessee and Central roads, who has more or less influence in both city and state politics, attempted to gain ad mittance to the ranks of the league to night, but the railroaders were on to his little game and sat down very emphatically on bis application for membership. It is not improbable tbattbe league will grow to be a state organization. If it should it will certainly help make politics interesting and divide time with the auiance. THE ANTI-BARROOM CAMPAIGNERS. The anti-barroom campaigners also held a meeting in the 1890 Club’s hall to-night and began outlining their plan of ecti n. The approaching city election promise* to be the most interesting held iu a long time. With eo many factious to please there is likely to be a variety of pledging done by the ambitious candidates for the council and aldermanic chairs. Nomination!: will bo made at a meeting to be held on the night of Sept. 25. DIVIDED OVER DR. TDPPzR. The Pastor May Be Obliged to Retire From tbe Rectorship. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17. —Dissatisfac- tion has been caused in the congregation of Kt. Phillip’s Episcopal chuech, of which Rev. Fuller C. Tupper is rector.

The Local Determination to Quarrel no More With Savannah. Brunswick, Ga., Sept. 17.—There were many people in Brunswick who were high ly pleased when the editorial announcements were first made in the savannah News and Brunswick Times that heraafter all the bickering and jealousy between the two naval ports they represent was ended, and since then many have become convinced that a declaration of peace between the two cities would be in tbe end far better for both.
