WALLACK'S-"THE LONG STRIKE."-Thts excel
lent play Notwithstanding It's long run, continues
to meet with cordial and remuneratlve audiences.
In fact the house flled every evening with audi
ences wonderfully fashionable for the beginning Of
July, when all waack's audiences are supposed to
be at the seaside. The play Itself needs no review.
acter of M0neypenny Is the happieGt that he has
ever attempted to depict. Mr.. StOddard IN It's per-
sonatiOn was twice called before the curtain lass
evening, but we think that profuse applause has
somewhat impaired his usual painstaktug rendition
of the part. He allows himself to strain after eece
when there Is no need to strain. Eject Is displayed
in every word OF his part and he needs only ~
render II faithfully. The 0tner characters are rem
dered with the usual excellent acting that Is TO b0
found at Wallack's always, even In the summer
season.
WOODS MUsEUM.-Mr. James NJ. Ward opened "a
this house last evening In o new play called
.ThrOugh by Daylight" The piece is OF the highly
sensational order and OF the best OF Its kind we
have seen. Mrs. Charlotte Stanley played Madgo
finely. She marked the dinerent changes In the life
OF the poor unfortunate with admirable skill, and
almost Immediately enlisted the audience In her
favor. We are very glad to see Mr.. George
Davenport back on the metropolitan boards. He Ia
a good actor and should never leave them. MISS
Jennie Carroll suited exactly IN the part OF the
tender loving heroine Mr. Evans Is an Old face, too,
at this house, and welcome one: Where dld Miss
Jennie Satterlee come fromf II there Is any more
such material as that In the background the sooner
IL Is brought forward the better. little more re-
pose and experience will make Miss Satterlee one
mounted and managed, and is, no doubt destined
for a long run. The street car Is one OF the moss
realistic efforts have ever seen achieved In these
meodramas: mr.: ward deserves every creHl ne o.
the city-when there Is such adearth OF enjoyment
thoroughly interesting play.

The French Elections.

France has again spoken for the republic.
The supplementary elections, which took
place on Sunday last, indicate the sentiments
of the French people. Out of one hundred
and fourteen vacancies the republicans have
succeeded in electing eighty or ninety men,
bers to fill the vacant places in the National
Assembly. A more thorough vote of conf
dence or a more genuine expression in favor
of the republican government 1t would be
difficult to imagine. Nothing short of the
unanimous verdict Of the people could be
more significant than the announcement which
the cable dispatches Of yesterday made of the
determination of the will of the French people
to remain true to the republic. Theirs hands
are now strengthened, for the people have
spoken in approval of the form of government
Of which he is the executive head. Not
only in the elections have they shown their
confidence in the republic, but in the manner
in which they have taken up the new loan
have.they indicated their firm belief in repub-
lcanism and the ability of the people of
France to rule France. Now that the republic
is truly endorsed by the people there is no
excuse for the French leaders to hesitate in
their course. Gambetta has secured place
in the Assembly, and he has announced his
determination to support the government of
Thiers. General Faidherbe, one Of the bravest
and most thorough soldiers of France. has
also been elected by the republicans. Other
prominent republicans have been elected to fill
the vacant chairs. The French people have
spoken let the government act, and by wise,
thoughtful and vigorous legislation prove that
the confidence of the French people is not
misnlaced

Every now and then there springs up, like
mushrooms in night, crop Of municipal
reformers, who assail the authorities with
might and main until they are obliged to desist
from sheer exhaustion, or from other causes,
which it is not at all difficult to explain.
These humbug reformers are organized bands
of uneasy people who have been left out in the
cold in the matter of some fat contract or
other-that Of the city printing and adver-
Using being not among the least Of the causes
that arouses their holy indignation. Now
these humbugs are to be no more credited for
their virtue and incorruptibility than the free
hooters who prey upon the commerce Of
the world Their organizations are jobs
that are put up to be bought mp,
instances of which are too fresh in the
memories of our citizens to be repeated here.
In other words, they are like the adventurers
of small means who create opposition lines of
steamboats,, telegraphs or railroads for the
purpose Of extorting money from the large aud
regularly established companies. 1t is with the
intention of having their silence purchased by
what they call the ring" that all this parade
of alleged extravaganza, over-taxation and
fraud is made. Instead OF reducing taxation,
If their views were adopted, the burden would
more likely be increased than diminished, for
there would be so many more hungry mouths
to feed at the expense of our taxpayers.
We are in favor of anv movement calculated

FourthY,
The ebay we celebrate" will be the toast
upon thousands and thousands of American
lips ere this days sun sinks in the west. 1t
will be a day of unusual rejoicing among
all Americans and all others who favor
the perpetuation of free republican institu-
tions. We have already published the pro-
Rramme for the celebration in this city and
vicinity, and if the weather proves fine, of
which there is every indication at the present
writing, the ninety fifth anniversary of our
nations birthday will be celebrated with
unusual splendor and heartfelt rejoicings.
In the midst of all their hilarity and JOY this
day we would remind our citizens that there
are many among them who cannot afford to
indulge in the general festivities. Let, then,
the rich to-day, in the midst of their magnif-
cent entertainments and lively excursions to
the watering places and more peaceful country
resorts, bestow thought upon the poor, and,
by contributing to relieve their wants and
necessities, add new and most pleasurable
sensation to the pleasures Of the hour. In the
meantime let all enjoy themselves as best and
as nationally as they can, so that when the fes-
tivites are over they can congratulate them
selves that the day we celebrated" was one of
unmixed enjoyment.

THE NEWARK TRAGEDY.-The murder Of
ssPet" Halsted at Newark is one of those ter
rible crimes which so often Of late years
spring from the social vices of our great cities.
There has not been o murder reported in this
city for mouths that had not connected with 1t
in some way the name Of woman. and this
Newark tragedy is not an exception to the
New York rule. Were il not for the respect
and sympathy due to the living we might
point to this case as fearful warning to men
who forget their social duties and enforce the
lesson by recitng its stern teachings. But
the tragedy is 40 terrible in itself and SO ter
rible in all its surroundings that only the most
hardened sinners can fail to learn something
from It.

TIE New CABS can be greatly improved
upon. Seats for four are not needed in them.
That number is too much weight for one horse
and too crowding upon the passengers them
selves. Besides, for the use of four persons,
the old, much-abused hack is preferable. The
cabs are wanted for two persons, or, at most,
three. The seats ought to face the driver, SO
that the passenger may ride forward instead of
sideways, and there should be room for the
third passenger alongside the driver. The
vehicles should be open TOP and the horses
should be fast-goiug nags We notice some of
these new cabs creeping along at a snail's
pace, while the passengers inside, with their
arms about each others necks to save space,
perspire with the close crowdiug aud vainly try
to get view of the streets in all directions as
they go. The New Orleans cab is the model
upon which these vehicles should be shaped.

The arrival of Victor Emmanuel at Rome
and the transfer of the Italian government to
the Eternal City are events which cannot be
passed over in silence. 1t is the deliberate
judgment of mankind that the ancient capital
of the world ought to be the capital of modern
Italy. The people of Rome and the people
who were Victor Emmanuel's subjects pre-
viously to the occupation of the States Of the
Church are one in lineage, in interests and in
destiny. Neither waited for this consumma-
ton more earnestly than the other, and both
were enthusiastic in desiring it. The recep-
ton which was yesterday accorded to the
King proves this, and assures a long reign for
the Italian Kings in the city of the Caesars.
And in all this we can see nothing hostile to
the Church. The Pope is dignitary whom
no earthly power could rob of his glory. The
thunders of the Vatican are still as potent as
in the days before the occupation. The mu-
nicipal control of Rome-the regulation of the
police and the command of the little Papal
army-added nothing to the real dominion Of
the occupant of the chair of ST. Peter. The
whole Catholic world recognizes this even
now, and will come to recognize it more fully
when all the good results springing out Of this
change shall have had time to develop them
selves.
The Pope has not looked upon the occupa-
ton of Rome by the Italians with favor. He
regarded it as an invasion of the privileges of
the Papal chair and an insult to the Church,
but he wisely determined to remain in the
Vatican and to continue to exercise in st.
Peters his august Office of the chief bishop Of
the Christian world. In time, shodld his life
be spared, as it is the hope and prayer Of all
men that it may be, he will see in these politi-
cal changes less of evil and more of good than
he at first thought to find in them. At all
events they cannot be reversed. The alacrity
with which the foreign Ambassadors at the
Court of Florence transferred their offices to
Rome shows that there is to be no interview
ton. The occupation IS fully accomplished.
Rome is the political capital of Italy quite as
much as it is the spiritual capital of the world.
In many respects all that has taken place was
desirable; but, apart from this, the transfer
from Florence is an accomplished event, and
as such we recognize it.

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS IMPERIAL OF
GERMANY EN- ROUTE TO ENGLAND.-By a
cable despatch, which we print this morning,
we learn that the Prince and Princess Impe-
rial of Germany have left Berlin for England
on visit to Queen Victoria. There is some
thing pretty in this visit, paid, as it u.s. so soon
after the war, TO the Queen. The Princess
has, no doubt, while this war has lasted, had
frequent occasion to think of her mother, and
the mother. we may rest assured. has not been
forgetful of her daughter The Princess Vic
toria has won favor in Germany, just as her
mother has done in England. Hers is kindly,
generous nature, as this war has proved. The
reception of the Prince and Princess in Eng
gland will DO doubt be hearty and enthusi-
astic. Success is always worshipped. How
different their condition on British soil to that
of Napoleon and Eugenie But the tables
may yet be turned.

departure in the South? Very little with .
brief letter every month or two, but very
much from an active missionary tour through
the Southern States. His presence and his
convincing speeches in the South in behalf of
democratic harmony In the acceptance of the
situation as 1t is" would have great effect
even upon the old fre-eaters We cannot con-
cur with Mr.. Adams that if the democrats are
united upon their platform one man or one
ticket will do az well as another for the party
in 1872 We hold that this battle will be
fought mainly upon the tickets in the field, and
secondarily upon the platforms, as on the
great question, reconstruction. the platforms
will, republican and democratic, be substan-
TALLY the same. A powerful ticket, therefore,
is the great essential for the democracy, and
the ticket of Chase and Hancock will meet
this demand, for it will be very powerful
ticket. Let the democrats adopt 1t, and cause
it to be understood that. in the event Of its
election, Mr.. John Quincy Adams will be the
Secretary of State of the new administration,
and much additional strength will be given in
the campaign to the democratic cause. Let the
democracy put on their Presidential ticket
good strong popular Cabinet out and out,
headed by Mr.. Adams, and they will find 1t
immensely to their advantage.
We shall touch upon this proposition again.
We think it good idea. Meantime we COM
mend to the Southern democrats the sound
and seasonable advice of Mr.. Adams.

The DIFFERENCES PENDING BETWEEN Bout
we'll and Pleasonton in relation to the right to
issue beer stamps bid fair to embarrass the
beer business. No brewer can sell beer unless
the keg is stamped, and no stamps can be
issued until the matter is settled. The price
of beer may be increased in consequence, and
although scarcity Of that article may be
considered about well enough by the native
American, the idea is not q pleasant one for
Gemsps 10 contemplate.
