Bean Resigns —More Railroad Taxes. [special correspondence.| Atlanta, September 10.—At noon to dsy in the city court room, the Senatorial con vention for the Thirty-fifth district met for the purpose of nominating a candidate to represent the district in the next Senate. The convention was called to order by Col. John* L. Doyal, of Clayton. The following delegations were present: Clayton—W. M. Wright, John L. Doyal, E. L. Haynes, Jr., A. P. Adamson, A. C. Blalock. Cobb—J. M.'Stone, James L. Lemon, J. Y. Alexander, T. M. Glover. Fulton—J. T. Pendleton, J. M. Siddell, 8. F. Kincannon, A. J. McBride, R. L. Barry. Judge J. T. Pendleton, of Fulton, was elected permanent chairman of the con vention, and Mr. J. M. Stone, of Cobb, secretary. The county of Clayton presented the name of Hon. W. A. Tignor as their choice for Senator, and he was nominated bv ac clamation. Some time since there was considerable discussion over the district as to which county was entitled to name the candi date. At that time it was understood that Fulton would contend for the honor, and even had a strong candidate in the field. This was hardly satisfactory to Clayton, which, I believe, had never had the Sena tor. The action of the convention in its unanimons indorsement of the Clayton candidate smoothed the wrinkled front of discord in the district, and everything is - ivf serene. Mr. W. M. Wright, of Clayton, in behalf of Colonel Tignor and the county, thanked the convention for its action, and stated that Colonel Tignor would have been pres ent bad not sickness prevented. R. L. Barry, of Fulton, J. M. Stone, of Cobb, and A. C. Blalock, ot Clayton, were appointed a committee to notify Colonel Tignor of his nomination. The chairman appointed the following executive committee: Fulton. H. C. Glenn, J. A. Anderson; Cobb, T. M. Glover. J M. Htone; Clayton, A. P. Adamson, E. L. Haynes, Jr. The business of thaconvention being fin ished, an adjournment was had fin: dir. IIUNORY FLAMES. At 8 o'clock this morning fire was dis covered on the roof of the old Pike llili residence, on Marietta street, immediately opposite the Atlanta Cotton Factory. The fire department reached the spot prompt ly. The fire was extinguished after it had devoured the roof of the building. 'The damage was small, as a new roof was very ranch needed. The house was erected many years ago by Col. Pike Hill at a cost of |14,0(X), and was a very handsome and desirable resi dence until the cotton factory was built up in front of it. Since, it has not been in such demand, and was vacant at the time of the fire. RESIGNED. Joseph 8. Bean, captain of the Clinch Rifles, of Augusta, has sent in his resigna tion of that office, on account of feeble health. TICKETS.

By issuing a warrant he recovered about half of it. A professional player, speaking to another lawyer of the effect of this, said: “That fellow is dis graced. He couldn’t enter a respectable gambling saloon. He can’t do anything now but practice law 1” CHANOJNO BENEFICIARIES *N LIFE POLICY. The Supreme Courts of Louisiana and Minnesota have held that the beneficiaries named in a life policy have a vest'd right which renders it irrevocable as to them. The coarts of Wisconsin, Missouri and Illi nois have held the reverse. The latest case bearing on the subject inclines to the former rule. An insurer, by agreement with the company, allowed nls policy to lapse in order that he might secure another with a different name therein as beneficiary. The person named in the first attempted to have the second policy treated as a mere continuation of the first The United States Circuit Court of Illinois decided otherwise, and intimate further that a gift made by designation in a life policy may be altered by will, just as the testator might direct the disposition of any other property. 19 Fed. Rep. SOUTHERN LEGISLATION. In his address before the American Bar Association, the president, Mr. Courtlaadt Parker, discussed the legislation of the States daring the present year by dividing them into sectional groups. He intimates surprise at the amount of tem perance legislation in 8outh Carolina and Mississippi, the session laws of the latter containing fifty-seven pages of prohibitory »cts. *• While not myself as yet, ready to adopt the theory of prohibition, I cannot ^ « that tlie 8 rim earnestness of these laws shows a tendency of public opinion which suggests a hopeful future.’’ Speaking of the group of Southern States, he says: “There is perceptible a simplici- of intention, a desire for improvement °* its people# for universal ednestion, and for the support of wholesome charities, a hearty belief in Christian morels and Christian religion and a love of right, which deserves and cannot but elicit ad miration and respect.” GOODS FOR THE STATE FAIR. Shippers of articles intended for display at our approaching fair will be interested in the recent decision of the Queen’s Bench divUion in the case of Jaaie«un vs. Mid land Railway Company. The plaintiff shipped over defendant’s rood a box di reeled to the “showgrounds” at Lichfield. It was not delivered until after the fair and the plaintiff*sued for bis expenses in going to and from the fair and the loss o!- profits resalting from the non-arrival of thego^s. It was not shown that the plaintiff called »pedal attention to the la bel or the object of shipment, but Lord Coleridge held that the acceptance by the ca * °* a k° x 80 labelled constituted u sufficient notice of the particular purpose and destination of the shipment, ana the plaintiff recovered the damages claimed.

Aoddrtaa of the State Co To the Democracy of the biatc of Gcor- giu:—The undersigned have betn appoint ed by the excentire committee of the Dem ocratic party of the State of Geotgia to prepare an address to the party and the peopled the State. Wnare now in the midst of an exciting and very important presidential campaign. Probably at no time in the past hittory of the government baa it been a matter of so orach vital importance that a change of aimtaiatration and of administrative policy'should take place. In a republi can government like ours where the peo ple are the fovereigns and the popular voice dictates the policy of the govern ment, it ia vastly important that those in authority be required to confine them selves within constitutional limits in ad ministrative policy and the execution of the laws. This government as organized by our fathers, prescribed the proper hm its within which the action of the federal government should be confined, and it recognlres the reserved powers of the States. The powers conferred upon the federal government were necessary to enable it to conduct properly all the foreign affdirs of chat government, all such interstate affain* m are beyond the power and control ol '.he individual States. The reservation* of power by the States were equally nec essary to euable each State to conduct local telf-government and promote the pub lie interest and the general welfare. On account of the broader scope of the powers of the federal government the ’-endency has been towardssencroechraeLt rpon the reserved powers of the States; and the long continued domination of one politi cal party over all others naturally tends to promote and encourage such encroach ments. It also encourages unnecessary and unreasonable appropriations, extrav agance of every character, speculations *nd peculations by government officials who rely upon their friends in power to « treater or less extent for immunity from ounishment for malpractice in office. The republican party on the fourth of March next will have been twenty-four /ears in power, four years of civil war snd twenty years since the termination oi rtiewar. They have greatly enlarged In practice the powers of the federal govern ment. They have increased the taxation >f our people to an enormous extent. Tbev have made and continue to mak< avish—and in many instances unreason- «ble appropriations of money wrung from he pockets of the people—by rigorom axation. Government officials bav< *rrown rich in many instances by the im proper use of public money. Vast track if the public aora* In have been donated to corporations, building up gigantic cer tiorate power which threa ens to contro not only tne people, bat the legislation of the country, in future. These vast track d the public land, which according to rbe original policy of the government were mended to be kept as homes for oar peo ple. have been withdrawn from home- tead entry, and placed under corporate :ontrol. And while a portion of the rail road enterprises to which they have been donated have been proper, and proraotive )t the public interest, vast tracts have ■>een squandered upon enterprises which vere ot no important public advHn’age t* he country. The result of this policy ha- been not only to deprivs the peop e of the loraestead rights, which was a part of the leritageof an American citizen, but U< ouild np an immense landed srUtocracy. placing thousands and hundreds of thou sands, and even millions of acres in th» bands of particular corporations or indi viduals, which roust in the end lead to nosi unfortunate and deplorable results. During this period of the reign of the Republican party the merchant marine ol he United States hss been nearly destroy -d. and the commerce o' he United 8tates on Ameri can vessels, almost swept from the We are subjected to the humiliation o< saving to conduct onr vast commerce al most entirely upon foreign vessels. During this same reign of the RerraWl ran party, while between three and fou- rand red millions of dollars have been ap propriated for building snd repairing ou» »avy, large parts of it bare been tqasn- iered and our present navy places us on he ocean below the dignity of a third rat* power: and we have not a single vessel or t single gun that is to be compared in tff) •iency with the superior vessels and arma -uent of other powers, and in case of a foreign war, our ooast cities are absolutely *t the mercy of onr antagonist If be ha> i respectable navy. The financial policy of the Republican party has been the boast of Repnblicar irators and statesmen for a number ol years pssL They have attempted to con rinre the country that its great proeperi -y was owing to the financial policy of that party. The result of thst policy has been .0 place the finances of the country In th» bands of the bankers whose power Is s< enormous. th*t they can, by hoardim their funds snd refusing di-counts, brinp financial panic at their p'easnre, or as In :he late instance, many of them In prac -ice by engaging in wild and reckless spec illations, have bronsht ruin upon them selves and great distress to the whoh •ountty. As the Republican party boas* >f their financial policy they certainly •annot complain if they are judged by tbe results of tLat policy, which at presem ire easily comprehended by tbe most su perfidal observer. Tbe large snd wealthy ranking houses of New York have hoard ed their money, keeping some thirty mil ions of reserve more than the law re J uires, and have refused to accommodate :e bankers of the difiereht sections o( be anion who have usually received ac jommodations from them, which haacrii ..!»«! them and left them unable to accom odatt their customer* and tbe people in Jlffcrent localities. The result Is a strin <encv in the money market of the coun try which has crippled every interest ha* engulfed many enterprises in ruin, and threatens great disaster and suffering it there is not a speedy change. Our own State was blessed during th’f rammer with a wheat crop more abundant than the average. Usually this crop af fords much relief, but there is no mon «y In the hands of buyers to move th< crop, and roost of it still lies in the barns of tne planteif. Our factories are suspending operation >r working upon short time, nor mer chants are greatly cramped. Dor planters can scarcely raise money wilh which to pay their taxes, and onr mechanics and arti sans and ra lroad employes are already working atredcued wages, ard on account of the!stagnation in business, many have entirely lost their places, or have been tern* porarily suspended. In a word, general stagnation and de- r .'ession is found in every braneb ot busi ness and with every class of labor. Can it be that a just and economical administra tion of the government, and a wise finan cial policy produces such results 7 Is it not clear to the mind of every citizen who is not coni rolled by party prejudice or party bias that a change of administration and the inauguration of a different party In power is nccessarv to the correction of these great evils. In looking for relief and for necessary reform the eyes of the people are naturally turned to the Democratic party, and afi the indications are if that party will do its dnty that Cleveland and Hendricks, the Democratic nominees for President and Vice-Presi -ent, will be tri umphantly elec ed in November next, which will be the inauguration of a new era which will doubtless be productive the most benign and beneficial results The Democratic party in convention a wise, 1 sired bv tbe patriotic of all parties, by those conmdling the great interests of the country, and by the honest masses of every section of tbe Union. The Democratic masses have been arouesd and the great current of Demo cratic sentiment, will, it is believed, bear down all opposition and compel the iuau- tfurat on of the necessary measures cf re form. • Now, Democrats of the 8tate of Georgia, a word to you. Georgia ha* been the ban ner Democratic 8iata of the Union. If there is a full turnout at the polls we be lieve she will maintain that proud position, but relying upon the strength of the party, and soundness of its principles and patri otic a*pirations, and hoping that the right will prevail without tffoi i on their part,we fear there ia too much apathy on the part of the Democratic masses. They are ready to rally and to stand by their banuer whenever • hey deem their canse in the State in dan ger, but they seem to assume that all is going right without effort on their part, and they have evidently relaxed their en ergies. In a word, there ia not that inter est, energv at d activity which ought to be manifest at a critical period like the present. We therefore call earnestly upon the ex ecutive committee of each county in the Siate. and upon every leading Democrat in the State, tofgo actively and energetically to work to make the organization complete in counties where it is not already to. Oi ganizs Democratic clubs where none exist, and where it may be deemed necessary. Have committees appointed to canvass tbe different districts and counties and tee *o it that there ia a full turnout at the polls 11 both the October and November elec tions. While the Democratic party are to be- congratulated upon the universal barmom which exists in the party and upon the fact that old divisions and schisms in onr ranks no longer exist, and that those is no opposition to tbe Democratic candidate or Governor and the other important of fices of tbe State, it roost not be forgetten that this general unity and freedom from division, which was so desirable, is pro ductive of a state of apathy *bich is to ne deplored. Many Democrats, finding it in convenient to go to the polls at the 8tat< elections, may remain at heme, on tb« ground that toe candidates for Governor and other important offiers have m opposition. And tb's would be * matter of no consequence, were !• not that tbe State election In Octo her Is to be followed In Foven.ber by the Presidential election, which is ko vitally important. Let tbe Democracy see that here Is a foil vote cast at the gubernatorial •lection. While no danger*cau result tc he DtJbocracy of this btate from a mes ger vutcat that election, it rnny bo roisun- ieretood and mkconstrmd in other sec- ions of tbe Union where all the facts are not known. It is the duty of Democrats whenever the party bss made nominations to stand by the Democratic candidates and give them an earnest and zealons support, it is the dnty of the candidates ond leader* to -ee to it that the proper tickets are prepar- -d and distributed, and every proper effort s made to secure a full turnout of the party trength in the October election, for the effect it will have on other States in the November election. The Democracy of Georgia has always ►ecupied a prominent position as an im portant part of the great Democratic party • *f tbe Union, which Is the party of the conttitntion and of equal ssd just laws The party that has Maintained the right* and liberties of the native population o* the conntnr. which. In the darkest hours of their trial, bos stood immovably by the rights of the torelgn-bom, naturalized dti- zers of this republic. The party opposed to nnjnst aggressive uonopoly, and in favor of equal rights to .•very citizen of the republic and of equal .rotectlon to American capital and Vmerican labor of every class anc haracter. The party which has wlier< in power honestly administered theaffain- ►f the government. The party of reform when the government is uot honest'y and conomically administered.

J. H. Polhill, J. H. Estiil, DuPont Guerry, CAMPBELL, CLAWSDLM OR JCNEO. A Man Witn Three Name* ano an Imped iment In Hie Speech. A man whoso namo is either Campbell, J mes, Cl&msdcn or something else, has been fljuring in the press of Macon and Hawkins* ▼itlo ^lately, and ran a narrow escape yester day from figuring in a court. He furnished thcao columns ono day last week with a story of how he was mobbed near Charlotte, N. C., by a crowd of negroes, oue of wliom he recognized at the Southern Hotel recently and who fled from him and went to Huwkinsvllle. Inquiries made of the author- tics ut*Charlotto failed to verify Campbell’s statements, and the eye of suspicion turned toward the man of many names, and the po lice placed him under tho ban. It would be an impossibility to lose him, as ho hits one of the most remarkable impediment in his speech, which he saya was caused by wwotind received in the Southern army. The News thus relates HIS EXPLOIT! IN HAWgINSVILLE: “Two or three months ago there camo to Hawklnavtile a man who registered at the Joiner Houso as 'C. H. Clamden, Elbert, Ga.’ He remained here a day or two, during which time he represented that ho was both deaf and dumb, and solicited small sums of money from our citizens to enable him, as he said, to sup port a helpless and deformed sister. He snorted around town considerably and acted ridiculously in order to attract attention to himself. A few weeks after Clamden's visit to our town, the editor of thlk paper visited Ma con and about tho first crowd he struck em braced Clamden, who was leading In a lively discussion over the prospects of the candi dates for the Presidency, and with the excep tion of the snort or Impediment to his speech, wo discovered that he could talk as loud and hear as perfectly as any one in the crowd. We inquired about tho dead-beat and were In- foraedithat* ‘ ‘ Hotel, andt D. Campbell.” Campbell has been lying around Macon for month, stopping at the Honthcm Hotel. He sold some kind of patent medicine nnd always seemed to have plenty of money. The * IMPEDIMENT IN U1S SPEEC1I was so peculiar that he never failed to attract attention on tho street when ho began to talk, and this, with hia affair with tbe negro mob- ber, gave him a notoriety he seemed to enjoy. Yesterday afternoon Mr. H. K. Hhackclford, tho livery stable man, swore out a warrant be fore Justice Cherry charging Campbell with stealing an overcoat, and also a dress coat. It seems iliut Mr. Mimckclfonl has a room ad joining that of Campbell, and when tbecout which Campbell bod packed preparatoiy to lcuving Macon. Tho warraut %a* placed In the hands of officer Avant, who found his man, after a long search, at the old Klinball House. He wua arrested and taken to the bar- rocki, where he uppeared greatly excited. When asked why ho gave his name as Clams- den and Jones iu llawklusville.be evaded the question and would not answer. PROMISE!! TO LEAVE TOWN. Shackelford felt sorry for tho man, and Inter in the afternoon effected a compromise, by which Campbell would return the over coat, pay ten dollars for tbe dress coat and leave town before morning. He was then released, and he returned to the Southern Hotel. Hero he had a wordy difficulty with Mr. Thornton, tho clerk, who sent after the qolice. Officers Avant and Good roe responded and be was locked u^» on a charge of disorder- IT IS A SPECIFIC lv ITISRELIABLE in ourlng Kidney It LiverV^A.^CSA Br, « ht '» Troubles, BUdcW.

A Midnight Explosion. ■ At 12:15 o’clock last night an explosion took place in the heart of the business portion of ~lty, the noise of which must have been beard over tho entire town. ■ On Investigation the scene proved to bo in rear yard of Turpin A Ogden's office. Officer Henderson, who was on duty on Cherry street, hurried through Wall street and saw the sparks in the yard. Several ciUzensfol- »wed. a “d the strong smelt of powder with the bits of burning paper on the ground ■proved that the explosion certainly tcok place Iu tbe yard. A candle was brought and a bro- keu stave of a beer keg. together with two broken hoops gave rise to the Idea that the powder had been placed In a keg aud then ofr probably with a slow match or ■ ino windows In Mr. Fred Cunningham’* ■wm. in the second story ol tha old City I Rank building, were badly shattered, as were •OYAWfi *Jker windows Iu tbe Immediate vl-1 Lclnlty.
