PoINTLEss RIDICULE.-A few days since a
great throng of the unreconstructed Demo-
Gratis of Mobile attended a freedmen's meet
ing in anticipation of fun" So says the
Tribune of that city, and forthwith proceeds
to edify such of its readers as were SO unfor-
tunate as to miss the entertainment, by hold
ing up to ridicule smple-hearted negro who
declared that "God would feed the black
people discharged by their employers for
voting the Republican ticket" Our Demo
cratic. contemporary this morning assures us
that "all the goddess inidels and religious per-
secutors are leagued together" against the
sanity Seymour. Yet such earnest, steadfast
faith as was displayed by the Mobile freed
man is not regarded as an element OF strength
by the Southern Democracy. Hence, when
they resort to the treacherous device of Wade
Hampton, condemned by ne Democratic jour
nal in the North, they can well afford to laugh
to scorn the illiterate black who believes in
the mercy and goodness of his Creator, and
refuses to vote for Seymour and Blair simply
because he is threatened with starvation. II
these worthy Democrats had lived in the days
Of King Ahab, what rare sport they would
have had over the prophet Elijah's prospect
of hearty meal, when he started for the will
derness, relying implicitly on the promise Of
the Lord, 81 have commanded the ravens
to feed thee" BY such faith the world
has been turned upside down more than
once, and the day of such miracles is not yet
past, as Wade Hampton and his Democratic
train will in good time discover.

To THE PoINT.-The New York Tribune has
the following pithy editorial observations
"Mr. William A. Wallace is Chairman of the
Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee and
not Mark Tapley,' as we the other day mad
vertently stated This gentleman has issued a
manifesto proving that there has been a great
Democratic victory in Maine, but admitting
that the State will probably vote for Grant
And here Mr. Wallace. leaving coffee making
for a while, comes in with his trenchant and
invincible logic as follows:-'Maine voted for
John O. Fremont, yet James Buchanan was
elected President, and Pennsylvania led the
column etc.etc., that made j. b. the President
Therefore, argues Bunsby Wallace. as Maine
will vote for Grant, 80 Pennsylvania must Ger.
tainly vote for Seymour! Therefore, we sup
pose II Maine should vote for Seymour, then
Pennsylvania will certainly vote for Grant
Now, 1t is clearly evident that If the Democrats
60 on gaining in Maine from now until the
next election, in the ratio claimed by them In
the last election, Maine must inevitably vote
for Seymour. Ergo, Pennsylvania will vote for
Grant. @. E. d. SLiok to your coffee pots, Mr.
Wallacep

Our Municipal Affairs and the Manner
in Which They Are Conducted.

THE City Councils, after summer recess, re-
assembled last Thursday, and will now proceed
to the disposal of the usual course of business.
How much of the comfort health, and pros
psrity of the city depend upon their actions
can be but slightly appreciated by those who
do not fully understand their working. BY
the liberal act of incorporation under which
our municipality was created, there are few
limits imposed upon the power of this repre-
sentative body. Probably no city in the world
has more liberal powers granted to it. In all
matters of local interest, appropriations, bills,
ordinances, opening Of streets, and all similar
movements, they have control. The last year
has proved that, as rule, the conduct of the
Counoilmen has been such as to prove that the
power vested in them will be used with dis
Oretion and with due regard to the wants of
the city. Under the recent administration the
taxes of the city were reduced. Last year it
was four dollars, while under the more eco
nomioal administration of the present Coun-
oils the taxes have been reduced to one dollar
and forty cents. A more equitable system Of
assessment has been made. No longer are
fancy prices put upon real estate, and the
amount Of valuation left entirely to the opinien
OF corrupt assessor, or of a chance whim.
There has been, beyond all question, marked
improvement in the city government. Roo.
nomy is more prevalent, lily -digested legisla-
tion is more rare, and we can congratulate the
people that their representatives have more
generally become cognizant of the response
bility of their position. We have faith that,
during the coming winter, there will be yet
more marked improvement, and the great
cause for complaint in 1867 will not be seen
in 1869.

The RINDERPRsT has assumed strange
feature in Richmond. The Dispatch of that
city, thorough-going and orthodox Demo
cratic sheet, is alarmed that "such cattle" as
"Hale, Clay, Dix, and other radicals now
representing the country abroad" should
declare against Seymour, Blair, Hampton, and
Forrest. But it consoles itself with the mel
ancholy assurance that call such cattle" will
be called home in case Seymour is made
President. In this event 1t becomes a matter
of serious consideration to the American peo-
pie as to who shall succeed them. Will the
diplomatic yoke be placed upon the necks of
such gentle lambs as Hampton and Forrest
Will sthe stern statesman now sojourning
in England, where the climate appears to be
more conducive to his health than did the
moist air of Fortress Monroe and the Georgia
swamps, be entrusted with the duty of repre-
senting the nation at the Court of st. James
Will Mason and slidell again start on their
travels from capital to capital, attired no
lorger in Confederate livery, but in the plain
cut coat and unassuming breeches prescribed
by act of Congress Or will the commission
of the rowing "Minister to Mexico" be en-
larged so as to embrace all Christendom, and
the polished periods of Bancroft and the
stately sarcasm of Reverdy johnson be sup
planted by the incoherent ramblings of
White Sulphur Springs epistles These ques-
tions present very nice point, upon which we
do not feel inclined to dilate at present.
Moreover, they contemplate a contingency
quite beyond the range of probability-the
defeat of Grant and the election of Seymour.

DRAMA TIC.
The "Dead Heart" Mt the walnut

The "DeaO Heart" mt the walnut.
MIR. Watts Phillips Dead Heart is one of the
best OF the socalled sensational plays of the
day. 1t is little obscure in some places, but
on the whole the plot is we'll worked out; the
situations are effective, and, without rising
above the commonplace, the dialogue is easy
and natural, and is not encumbered with unne-
cessary verbiage. vein of genuine poetical
feeling runs through the work, and what ap-
pears constrained and unnatural in the charac-
ter of"Robert Landry" is due more to a want of
explicitness in the text than to any real incon-
sistepcies.
The Dead Heart has been given so many
times in this city that the theatre going public
are generally familiar with 1t. The part of
"Robert Landy" is we'll suited to the abilities
and style of acting of Mr.. Edwin Adams
and, without rising above the conven-
tional, he Is easy, natural, and un-
affected. The strong points furnished by
the dramatist are made the most of by the
actor. and the interest is well sustained
throughout. The best drawn character in the
piece however, is that of the "Abbe Latour,"
and this type OF an intriguing, luxurious and
dissolute class, who, more than any Others
were the means of bringing on all the horrors
of the French Revolution, Is depleted with
much skill by the playwright. This part was
well acted by Mr.. Waleot. who appeared to have
an intelligent appreciation of its requirements.
Inc character OF ''Catnarlne DuVaP
sumed by Miss Graham, who appeared for the
first time this season in her old position as lead
ing lady at the Walnut. Miss Graham is still
too cold and tnanimate to be considered a
thoroughly good actress, although last evening
she performed with much real power and effect
in portions of the play.

At the Arch the Richings troupe will appear
this evening in Fra Diavolo. Tomorrow La
Somnambula will be given; on Thursday Cris-
pfno and the Fairy for the first time In English.
Al the Walnut Mr.. Edwin Adams will appear

Of the Dead Heart.

neous entertainment of an attractive character.

A SUBSTANTIAL STRAW. - The Vineland
Democrat, journal published in Vineland,
N. j., and heretofore an earnest supporter of
Seymour and Blair, has renounced the Hamp.
ton Democracy and raised the names of Grant
and Colfax. For so doing the editor gives the
following cogent reasons
First Because we had mind to do 1t.
'Second. Because the party that aUas Demo.
cratic, that promised to tighten the taxes, that
promised to give the country low tax caudi-
date allowed an ignoble clique of traitors and
bloated capitalists to force their disloyal tools
upon the party.
t'Third Because If the Democratic ticket Is
elected, the Democratic party is defeated.
Fourth. Because Grant and Colfax better fill
the BILL
"Fifth. Because there Is Rebel element enough
in the Democratic party to control the party,
and we desire to have liberty in the South at
least long enough to give Northern fathers and
mothers time TO remove their dead sons where
they can lie uninsulted by Democratic bone
trinket manufacturers
'Sixth. We felt unwilling to furnish free
literature to party that could not read"

The grass seed took better on the half acre
than on the balance Of the field, but did not
yield as good crops Of hay and was sooner
driven out by the natural ones Since then
he always manures a small patch Of rye (sowh
for the straw in this manner, aad thinks the
straw Of the rye is better for his purpose
ftying corn fodder then if he had used barn
yard manure.
The President thought that many Of our
practieal farmers sowed too little grass seed
with their wheat to insure a good crop OF
grass: the usual amount is four Of timothy
and about the same Of clover; he usually
sowed four oftimothy and about seven oreight
Of clover, aud had always a good crop Of
clover for moving the first year after wheati
he thought this extra clover seed enabled
him to cut at least half ton more hay to the
acre. His plaa was TO SOW timothy before
the drill when putting in wheat and SOW the
clover in the spring when the ground was
freezing at night and thawiug during the day,
say, about the first of March, or the first
