 The south has scored 8 victory that riyes her control of the democratic party and makes her absolute in the work of fashioning it's opinions and directing it's conduct. That much may be set down as determined. In what way the power thus grasped will be exercised, we cannot surely know; but @ may safely conjee- ture that it will not be used in manner that need give republicans any particular uneasiness about the next election. The south has got its speaker and chance to ra SC the old rebel yell once more.

 HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.
 In 1883 the tariff was ssrevised" and at that time much the same arguments now heard were used. Then it was claimed the country was so richly en- dowed that it could support its people without tarif-or, at any rate, with one for revenue only. At about the same time the proceeds of the sales of the public lands were divided among the states and the tariff reformers" were sure the country was at last on the way to absolute free trade. They did not then openly declare it. They were as patient as MT Carlisle's sympathizers are now. They were willing, as the revenue reformers' are now, to get it by gradual approaches and were as sure of the wisdom of their teachings as the most radical member of the New York free trade club is to-day. What were the results of this? Repudiation in Mississippi, Michigan, Louisiana, Penn sylvania, Indiana and Illinois; such bankruptcy that Benton estimates there were at one time 100000 business men whose engaging in. business was possi- ble only on condition that 8 law should be passed freeing them from the burden of their debt. The government was not abb to pay its debts or its servants; the s'compromise tariff was pronounced 8 failure and revision" became very un- popular. What 'stariff reform did once it can again. That this is feared is seen in the apologetic tone of the revenue reform press, both in and out of the democratic party.-Neao York Coanmaer- cidL
