MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
Chanrrau AS "Sam."

Why Mr.. DeIWalden, when concoctug a drama
for the purpose of fitting Mr.. Chanfrau with a
character suited to his particular abilities,
should have thought 1t necessary to introduce
so much deep vllany into his plot 1t is not easy
to conceive. All that is essential in the piece is
extIavagant and out of the line of regular
comedy, and the introduction of melo-dram tic
scenes and characters is inharmonious with the
general design. The audience, however, allow
their eguanimity to be disturbed but little by
the dark designs of the villains, and as the
comedy-!or so we must call 1t for want of
better name-is made the vehicle for some very
good fun, we can afford to let it pass without
questioning too closely about its weak points.
"Sam" is enough like Lord Dundreary" to be
his brother, but enough unlike him to be very
different sort of fellow, with only strong out
ward family resemblance. Mr. Chanirau has
represented "Sam" often that we suppose
he is scarcely capable of improving it, and in.
deed any improvement Is scarcely to be wished
for. "Sam" is something a little above and
beyond the ordinary specimen of the male biped
of the genus homo, and he hardly comes
within the range of the ordinary rules of criti'
cism. When we say that the personation is as
mirth-pIoyokiug as could be desired, we
have sufficiently characterized it. Mr.. Chan-
frau does Lot let us see him too often, or we
might be inclined to suggest that his talents
ought to be permitted to exercise themselves In
other rotes, but the vagares of "Sam" are such
good entertainment, and the actor is so sure Of
hitting the fancy of his audiences, that we do
not wonder much at his sticking to part in
which be feels confident of success. Mr.. Chan
frau was welcomed by a full Louse last evening,
and the performance was heartily enjoyed.

HAVE YOU YOTEDg

IF not, and the clock has not struck six
before you read this paragraph, hasten to the
polb and do your full duty as an American
Citizen. Every Republican voter who goes to
the polls to-day contributes one vote to coun-
teract the ballots Of Mr.. Sharswood's upstave
citizens. Every Republican voter who re-
mains at home contributes half a vote towards
the election Of Fox and the whole train of
Blair revolutionists in our State and city.
Therefore, if you have not yet done your
duty, and it is not too late, delay no longer.

More recently still, Lord Amberley, the
son of Lord Russell, has written
q letter to one of the papers, in which he
states that, from the conduct of landlords to
their tenants; he is convinced that the ballot is
indispensably necessary in order to secure
freedom Of elections in Great Britain. The
ruling Glasses cling to the last remnant Of
their power the more tenaciously as they feel
1t slipping away from them forever, and the
next great measure Of reform will probably be
contested more bitterly than any that have
preceded it. The old ory against Americana
ing British institutions, however, is fast losing
the force 1t once had; and the conviction Il
gaining ground that the time is at hand when
the last remnants of fsudslism must be
abolished, and that the ballot as we'll as other
innovations on hereditary wrong are necessary
for the peace, prosperity, and happiness of the
nation. To the accomplishment of this result
it now behooves the Liberals to give all their
energies, as their opponents will leave no
stone unturned to prevent further progress in
the way of reform.

The Baltimore Outrage.

IF any patriotic citizen of Philadelphia has
hesitated up to to-day as to how he ought to
vote, the infamous attack upon the Repubh-
can passengers on the train between Washing
ton and Philadelphia, in Baltimore, last even
ing, by the friends of Seymour and Blair,
ought to decide him not only that the honor
and welfare of the country, but that the per-
sonal safety Of himself and all who
are dear to him, depends upon decisive victory
for the Republican party to-day at the polls.
After the train left Washington last
among the male passengers, the design of
which appears from after occurrences to have
been for the purpose of "spotting" the Re-
publicans. While the cars were being
drawn through the city of Baltimore an
attack was made upon them by a
crowd of rufians passengers were
threatened with instant death if they declared
themselves for Grant and Colfax, and some
were compelled to deny their political princi-
pies at the point of the pistol. Others were
beaten over the head with blackjacks, or
dragged through the windows of the cars to
be pummelled by the crowd. While all this
was transpiring the police of Baltimore stood
by, either in sympathy with the whole affair or
afraid to interfere for the protection of the
passengers. The Rebels of Baltimore have
shown what their intentions are; and if such
0utrages as this can be committed with i'm
punity at the present time, when the contest
now being waged between the friends of good
government and parties is undecided, what
are we to expect if the Rebels are again placed
in positions of peweri These Baltimore rutia
have done a good work for the Republican
party, and this last outrage Of the Rebel De-
mooracy should awaken stern determination
In the mind of every law abiding citizen to
throw every minor consideration to the winds
and to put down this spirit of lawlessness
once and for ever. Such an outrage as
this, coming as it did on the eve of an
election in Pennsylvania, ought to con-
vince every doubling voter that there are
no real grounds for hesitation as to what
course he should pursue, and that only by the
election Of the Republican candidates by a
convincing majority can any assurance be
obtained that law and order will not be over
thrown and superseded by anarchy and ruff
fanism. We call upon those of our citizens
who have not yet voted to delay no longer
about fulfilling this important duty, and let
the rebuke to the Baltimore Rebels be en-
phatic and unmistakabls on the part of Phila-
delphia to-day.
Let us show these scoundrels that we are
neither to be beguiled nor intimidated, aud
that the victory for the Republican party to-
day will be but the prelude to a greater
triumph in November. Citizens of Philadel-
phia, you cannot mistake your duty; and
every vote cast for the Democratic candidates
is an endorsement of the infamous affair in
Baltimore last evening.
