NEW YORK, Dot. 7, ls8S-If you will take the
trouble TO examine the names which the two
rival political parties in this city have placed on
their respective electoral tickets. It will not
take you long to determine which represent the
men who have done the most in furthering our
metropolitan interests. The Grant electors are
Marshall o. Roberts, Samuel s. WyckoG Moses
H. Grinnell. Charles s. Spencer, Alexander T.
Stewart, Frederick 5chuetz. and Hooper @. Van
Noorst. The Seymour electors are Henry
w. Slocum, Joseph Bowling, Oswald
Ottendorfer, Emanuel b. Hart, Charles
E. Loew. James NJ. Sweeny, and Ed.
ward Jones. The burdens of taxation
and American shipping are the burdens which
the Seymourites are croaking so dismal a re-
frain about; yet what man can they point
to, still less uphold, as representative OF their
characteristics, whe has exercised = greater in
fiuence over the interests OF shipping, com
merce, and navigation than Moses ii. Grinnell
and Marshall o. Roberts, or paid more enor-
nous taxes than Alexander T. Stewart? We
have probably between thirty and forty thou
sand less voters for Grant than for Seymour in
this city and yet 1 scarcely think these two
electoral tickets will bear comparison one with
another.

the characteristics that primarily shone forth
on that occasion.
1t is useless to deny that the event that was

Duchesse" and M. Carrier as Fritz" The new
house was quite as crowded as the old one was
this time last year. BY o'clock every seat was oc
cupied, SO that the new season was inaugurated
with rare punctuality. The interior looks as
new as though the entire building had been
razed and q new one built. The stage is broader
and advances further into the parquette. And
how about Mime Rose Bell? Her "Grand Ouch
esse" is as unlike Madame Tostee's as 1t is pos
sible for the same role to be when played by two
different srtistes. People who had seen the
versatile and beautiful Lady Hamilton act
