One Of the Results Of the Late
Elections.


Elections.
One Of the first things that will be
done by the victorious Ohio Demo-
Gratis, now that they control the
State and have both the Governor
ship and the Legislature in their
hands, will be to redistrict it, and
get rid of the present Republican
gerrymander. Ohio is great on
gerrymanders. the Republicans hav-
ing set the example. Whenever the
Democrats come into power they
straighten out matters little, and
when the Republicans follow, they
Immediately overturn the Democratic
districting, and make up new one
of their own, which gives them more
than they are entitled to; and as
Ohio is uncertain politically-at
least in State misunderstanding
from one party to the other, it has
been divided and redlvided into dis
tricts dozen times. just at pres
ent the Republicans, controlling the
government, have arranged things to
suit themselves; and, as a conse-
quence secured sixteen Congress
men to five Democrats, at the presi-
dental election, although they were
not in absolute majority of the vote.
and had less than 10000 plura lily.
1t will require but little work to
set this right, and the Democrats
have had so much experience in this
redistricting business that they can
arrange it in a very short time.
hey will so divide the State, i is
understood, as to return fifteen
Democrats to six Republicans, Civ
ing the latter some of their own
sauce.
This means a change of twenty in
the congressional delegation and a
loss to the Republicans of some of
their strongest men, like Gen. But
terworth and Mckinley. Taking
this into consideration, the victory
last tuesday is tar more important
than it appeared at first light, for il
assures the Democrats majority IN
the House of Representatives. A
change of twenty Congressman in
Ohio would give the Democrats q
safe majority of ten, and such Q
change would be beyond the reach
of any election law that The Republi-
can majority in the present Congress;
can frame.
The Republican papers have
awakened TO the fact that last Tues.
days election, although it was an of
year and no members of Congress
were voted for, really affects Con.
gress materially and gives practica
assurance that the Fifty-secont
Congress will have a good Demo
cratic majority. To this discovery,
we may attribute the very serious
manner in which the party papers
have lately accepted the result o
the election. Almost without exccp
ton they regard it as defeat and {
bad one, and most of them warn tn,
the party that it will have to chang'
its position in regard to the revision
of the tariff and the civil service anC
election laws, unless it wishes t,
retire permanently from politics

The Richland Beacon published at
Rayville, La, in its last issue con
tanned the following paragraph:
"As there has to be United States
Leyee Commissioners appointed
under the United States government,
and as none except Republicans are
likely to be appointed, we think
Gen. John H. Rice, president of the
n. o., n. & F S. Railroad Com
pany, would be good man on the
hoard as lis interest and identity
with the people of the overAowed
section would cause him to take an
interest in the matter. We do not
know that Gen. Rice would accept a
position Of this kind, but if he would
he would make a good one"
We think, perhaps, the Beacon is
in error as to the sort of commits
sioners that are to be appointed,
that it is board Of river commits
Aioners to be appointed, in place Of
levee commissioners. Gen. Rice
would, however, make a good and
acceptable member Of either, and
President Harrison might make a
worse selection. We second the
nomination. Natchez Democrat.

An Appeal.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA, Oct 26.
Editor Commercial Herald.
Will you kindly read the enclosed
appeal which will speak for itself.
There are 10 dead Mississippi SOL
diers lying in our Confederate Gene
terry; the wooden posts with their
names on them, are fast decaying,
we have no money in our treasury,
so the ladies urged me to undertake
the disagreeable work of begging for
new posts. l have met with such
hearty cooperation in the different
States and letters are pouring in
from widows, orphans and friends,
with donations from 25 cents up to
$50 fromIan ex-governor. One poor
old woman in sun-boDnet, brought
me GO cents from twelve poor old
Stafford women, each sending 8
cents apiece, from their poverty; !
Just cried over this. President
jefferson Davis gave me $50, and
his is the only voice l have heard
from Mississippi Cannot you
arouse some interest in the cause in
your State. There are ITO Mislss-
ippi soldiers buried here, and l have
not a cent to restore their posts
Don't you think the friends OF these
soldiers would help me. If some
lady or gentleman in the different
cities and towns would offer to re.
ceive contributions, even to start Q
25 fund, believe | would soon have
the whole amount. Please do what
you can for the cause.
Yours respectfully,
MAMIE Seldom BARNEY.
My address is Mrs ). n. Barney

A SPECIAL APPEAL From THE LADIES
MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION OF FRED
ERlcKsBURG, VIRGINIA:
We respectfully call your atten
ton to the fact that there lie buriet
in our Confederate Cemetery SCI
Southern soldiers from the following
States;
Marylad, Virginia, North Carolina
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
Texas, Arkansas, and Tennessee
The wooden posts, with theil
names on them, are rapidly decay
ing, and it is necessary to replace
them as soon as possible. Having
40 means at our disposal for thu
purpose, we are compelled to asl
for aid, feeling sure that our appea
will not be in vain.
Many of these graves which w,
have lovingly cared for during 81
many years, contain the dear ones o
Southern homes, where their memo
ries are still cherished, and a throl
of sympathy will go out to us in on
efforts to rescue their names from
oblivion. Mothers, widows, orphans
sisters, comrades, help lis IN on
sacred work, and we believe tina
before another year we will hay,
money enough to begin our work
If some responsible person in eac
city, town and village will offer t
receive contributions for this cause
and will forward them to
