In regard to City Judge however, we

subject: If Judge SUTHERLAND is nomi-
mated by any party We shall support him.
All lawyers seem 20 be agreed in the
opinion that Il better name than Judge
SPENCER's cannot be mentioned for the
superior Court.
CHARLES DoNOECF, for District Attor-
ney, adds greatly to the strength of the
ticket. He will administer the Office strict

II is as well, on the whole, TO rally al
once for this ticket and support it Jealous

and successfully. Every day some new rascality

the honorable, reliable. aud substantial men OF
the city, irrespective of party. The nominees
OF the organization were first-class and leading

" Ring politics" Had these men received the
omclal positions they were honestly elected to-
the city. to great extent, would have been
rescued from the nlthy slough OF corruption and
mismanagement which ia now engllfng the
whole municipal government. Now that a horde
Of unpr,ncipled and thoying scoundrels are
elevated to political power. Philadelphia will he

most prominent citizens, knowing what the
result must he with such unprnciped men in
office, have combined with the Reform Associa-
tlon To remove them.
The Reformers and Liberal Republicans are
not despondent by anv means at the result of
the October elections. Both parties are re-
organized thoroughly for the Presidential
campaign. When once equipped and armed for
the November conflict, a formidable front will

That we live i'm "the land of the free"
we have always been taught to believe, hut since
the gross outrages perpetrated upon Mr.. Geo.
y. Heinrich, n respectable citizen of New York,
Toy United States Commissioner Davenport, the
glorious proposition does not seem SO evident.
The story Of Mr.. Heinrlch's arrest and conane-
ment In Ludlow street jail reads almost like an
Ainsworlh romance, and one must needs refer
TO the almanac to satisfy his daZed senses that
this Is really the latter part of the nineteenth
century. The ostensble crime of which Mr..
Heinrich was guilty appears to be the kicking
ont OF doors of an impudent supervisor, one
Charles A. Stahl, who in his capacity of a Grant
canNasser visited the house Of MIR Heinrich and
made himself generally obnoxious. hut the
real crime for which the unfortunate gentleman
was arrested was the zeal which he has shown
IN the Greeley cause. He also exercises an inn
mense influence over the German voters OF the
east side Of the city, and no doubt in the Grant
raterhlsm that Is also sin, the said influence
not being eXertcd n the cause of Hiram.
