In the published list of members
elect to the General Assembly which
appeored in the LEDGER yesterday,
the name of 7. +. Oassells was printed
by mistake, from list partly made
up soon after the election. Shelby
county will be spared any such mis-
representation. The member elect
in his stead is Mr.. Leon Howard, a
respectable low tax Republican, clased
as colored, who keeps a restaurant
(not a saloon) at 782 South fernando
street. He stands well in the estima-
tod of his neighbors, and will no doubt
make good record and a creditable
member.

A day or two before the election
Senator Jackson, in a speech at Paris,

more for goods than Ohio does, for
example. This coming yesterday to

address the Senator letter asking by
what authority he made such state
ment, since no merchants stand higher
or buy and sell cheaper. In the 1873
panic Nashville was rated first of all
the Union, not having single com.
mercial failure. OF course Senator
Jackson's declaration would, if true,
greatly injure the merchants here, as
it is an invitation to the country
merchants to go north for their pur-
chases.
They also say a petition will be
raised inviting Senator jackson to
resign. Even the sky blues are indig-
naht, while the regular Democrats,
who have been so all along, do not
feel more kindly toward the Senator.
Those are mad who never were before
And who always were are mad the more.

The New York Tribune comes out
in a long editorial headed reduce the
taxes" This appears to be an after
thought suggested by the election,
The Democrats have demanded
reduction Of internal revenue taxes
and of the tariff for years, but Re-
publioans we're deaf to all such appeals.
The next Congress will doubtless take
some step in the right direction.
Violent changes should not be made
as these might prove injurious to the
industries and commerce of the
country, but that there should be q
gradual return to first principles and
ante bellum methods all classes
are convinced. Great changes will
be made, and it only remains to be
seen who will be entitled to the honor
The only danger is that the Democrats
in their eageFness to do something and
to got ahead of repentant Republicans
will goitoo far. The dominant,partys still
has possession Of Congress and all the
departmentsof the!government. At the
approaching session something desper-
ate will be done no doubt to save the
grand old party" The Democratic
minority will be on hand and unusually
vigilant. The posthumOus members
going to make up the majority v IL
be more concerned about their fncsj
and other private affairs at home thap
the affairs of State. tits a hard matter
for old sinners to bring forth fruits
meettorepentance at such short notice
SO there is not much probability that
an era Of retIenohment, reform aud
honesty will suddenly set in at Wash
ington this winter. The real and the
best work will remain unfinished until
the Democrats come into power.

The True Causes Of the DeIuge.

The Philadelphia American, an
able Republican weekly, thus COM
ments on the election:
The causes of all this are not far to
seek. They are identical with those
which produced the much smaller re-
action Of 1874, d imperilled success
in 1876. A party which can continue
to live only while it continues to be
aggressive, refvrnatory and foremost
in every good cause, fell by an assas-
sins shot into the hands Of men who
made it just the reverse of this. They
began an era Of practical politics, i
e. of bossism, machine control, packed
conventions political assessments
political removals and appointments,
'orged credentials, and all the other
plrapbernalia of corrupt party gov
ernment. They forced the best men
into revolt along the whole line, and
courted ruin by the very means they
used to insure party success. Had Mr..
Arthur and his friends gone over bod
lily to the Democrats on Mr. Garfield Z
death, and carried the Keifers, the
Hubbells and the Robesons with
them. the Republican party would
have held their own on Tuesday. 1t
is because they stayed and allied
themselves with all the repellant
forces of the political field, that the
Democrats have earned this victory.
