WASHINGTON, D. c., November l2.-This
week the trouble will begin. TIE elections
have measurably increased the Democratic
dread over the organization Of the House.
When they looked for decided victory in
New York, and regarded one as possible in
Pennsylvania, they were not without ap.
prehension that the responsibilities Of the
coming session would prove a serious
thing for them. Now, that the elections
have gone decidedly sgainst them, they
are approaching the organization with anx-
iety which they can not conceal. There
are already abundant signs Of discord. The
revenue reformers and the free traders are
beginning TO insist that the taiif question
must be reopsned and made prominent.
This talk Is helping Randall, for those
who want prudent, quiet aad do-nothing
policy, are begging TO rally to Randall, as
the only candidate for Speaker who can
rule the House, and keep 1t, in spite OF it.
self, from discussing disiracting questions
Neither Mr.. Carlisle nor MIR. COX is regard

neither Of these anti-protection gentlemen
would bs inclined 10 shut out or discourage
reform tariff measures, and with many who
sympa.hizs with them, prudence suggests
that, for the first session at least, there
must be nonacIion on the tariff. II is

Butler thinks himself that his defeat is due
solely to the votes they cast. Believing
this, General Butler does not entertain the

Ihe Driver Shot.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, November 1.-TWO
masked men attacked a street car driver
named August Gratbe at Day View, a
suburb of this city, last night. They at.
temptedto take the money box OF tho car.
Gratbe resisted and the highwaymen shot
him twice. He put his mules into run
and escaped with the money, but will
probably die Of his wounds. The particu-
lars Of the affair arc as follows: Gratbe
had reached the southwestern terminus CT
his route and drove on to the table. While
doing this two men stepped up and pre-
sented revolver at his head, demanding
the cash box. Both had the lower portions
Of their faces disguised with handkerchieis.
Gra,be refused 10 deliver the box and
struck at the men with the stock OF his
whip, thereupon one OF the fellows fired
two shots, one ball entering his cheek and
passing under the nose, lodging under the
tight eye. The second shot took tfftc.
under his right shoulder blade. Toe foot
pads then turned and ran, in which direc-
tion was not noticed. Gratbe can give no
description Of his asssilants except that
they are not large men. A strong force OF
detectives are working on the case, but the
clue is a very faint one.

Georgia will be given to the old ticket in
the contest Of next year. The Senator has
just returned from New York. He says:
"a am satisfied from my observation in

gentlemen from all paris OF the country,
that the only thing for the Democrats to do
Is 10 renominate the old ticket OF Tilden

A Wlld Cat Insurauce Company.

CHICAGO, LIS, November 12.-The
final report OF the receiver Of the lEtna Life
Insurance Company CT this city, which
went to pieces shortly after the great FIRE
OF 1871, was made in tie United States
Court to-day. The report Of the master in
chancery in connection herewith discloses
rather an astonishing state Of affairs. The
company's assets included what was
claimed to be $4,000 Of secured paper.
In the settlement the total amount realized
was $ol5. The master says Of them: These
were ali fraudulent and worthless, signed
by worthless insolyent bankrupt or un-
known persons, and the securities, trust
deeds to property which the masters did
NOT own. Testimony shows the company
was an organized swindle. The purpose
was to use the company aa false pretense
for obtaining money, They were able to
do this because the State Auditor accepted
the assets as satisfactory.
