PRACTICAL REFORM THAT THE PEG.
PIE UNDERSTAND.

f1E UHUEhoAANUs
One of the genuine practical re-
forms which the LEDGER has
insisted upon for several years has
recently been inaugurated. For
years and years the multiplicity of
State and county machinery, and
especially Of tax collectors Offices,
vexed, annoyed and confused the
people, who never knew when they
were done paying. We had, here
in Memphis, a State and county tax
collector, privilege tax collector,
back tax collector, railroad tax col
lector and city tax collector, besides
county trustee, county court clerk,
two circuit and two chancery court
clerks, ETC., etc. There is no longer
such an Office as privilege tax col
%lector. That Office, created by the
Radicals but held by d Democrat,
has been merged again with that Of
the county court clerk. The office
Of railroad tax collector is unknown
any more, and the offices of State
and county tax collector and city
tax collector have been abolished.
That good and true old gentleman,
Colonel j. ]. Rawlings, having
given bond, as required by law.

THE steamer franklin, contain
ing as a precious cargo the person
of VIM. NJ. Tweed, still fails to put
in an appearance. The New York
Herald says there is a purpose in
this delay-that the Franklin will
appear just in time to enable the
Radicals to send a startling sensa-
ton on its rounds a day or two be-
fore the election to the effect that
Tweed has made damaging dis
closures against Tilden. Fore
warned is forearmed. So look out
for some canard of this kind. The
RAIDS would affect to believe any
story that might be told by Tweed
against the Democracy, or attrib-
uted to him.

people still demand economy, re-

lature will no doubt amend the law

SHELBY COUNTY IN The LEG1sLA.
TIRE,


Memphis being the commercial
metropolis of the State and COM
mercially connected by close ties
with the people of Mississippi, Ar
kansas and Alabama, occupies a
peculiar relation to some portions
of our own State. The local legisla-
ton desired for Shelby county may
not always be entirely applicable
or desirable in the interior or remote
parts of the State. That which
suits us may not meet the require
ments Of the people of Sullivan or
Garter counties five hundred miles
away and east of the Cumberland
mountains. In a social or com
mercial way we are connected with
the people of East Tennessee about
the same as with the commonwealth
of Kentucky. This is owing alto
gether TO geographical causes and
location. Owing to the population,
cosmopolitan character and wealth
Of Memphis and Shelby county, We
