The Tax CoIIectorship.

Among the candidates in the field fol
the Office of City Tax Collector, none
stand as fair chance Of being elected as
Fred Schaper, the present Comptroller.
He will receive vote from all classes OF
citizens that will astonish politicians.
Possessing ability, industry and moral
worth, he is the man for the place. Mr..
Felix Robertson has held the position of
Tax Collector for two terms, which is as
long as any one man should hold pub
lie Office in this land of ours, where the
third term is not popular. Mr.. Robert
son, however, will not be in Fred Scha-
pers way during the race, and the for
mer can take but few votes from the lat
ter. Mr.. Schaper made himself in
dispensable in the Tax Collectors office
during the yellow fever epidemic, he
having taken charge of the abandoned
Office by order Of the Mayor during that
period of time. The LEDGER advises all
citizens, irrespective Of party affiliations,
color, etc., to vote for Fred Schaper on
the LIST of January. He will make a
splendid officer, and will serve the peo-
pie faithfully and well. His qualiGca-
tons for the Office and knowledge of its
details make him the man for the place.
He will be elected by large majority
over his opponents.

A municipal canvass in Memphis is
one Of the most amusing spectacles that
can be presented before the philosopher.
A canvass is leveler; the aristocrat
chats and drinks with the plebeian; in
deed, the aristocrat sinks and the pie
beian rises until they meet upon COM
mon level, and all for the spoils of
office. Such is Memphis life at present.
The first row of the canvass took place
yesterday afternoon, when Mr.. Tom
Winters punched the head of the Radi-
cal Judge Bigelow, who is now an ally of
the Busby faction. The Judge, during
political harangue took occasion 70
defame the dead and SANDER the living,

old one, but it will contain more judg-
