WILL wonders never cease? H ere
now, is reconciliation of those arch
enemies, Longley and Todd. 1t will be
recollected that DR. Todd contributed
more than any one else to the defeat Of
Mr.. Longley in 1873, and in conse-
quence thereof Mr.. Longley has said
some very ugly things OF the Doctor
through the columns OF the independent.

THE election occurs one week from
next Tuesday. Now is the time Tor
Democrats TO be up and doing. Make
arrangements to bring out the full Demo-
cratic vote. Let there be no stay-at-
homes. Rally every man to the polls
A full Democratic vote insures Demo
cratic victory in Ohio. With the Repub-
hcans who have come over to Us since
the last election in this State, there Will
undoubtedly be a Democratic majority
in Ohio this year If every Democrat
will do his duty. Let us have grand
rally at the polls on the 10th of October.
A Democratic victory in Ohio in
October, is worth hundreds of thousands
of votes for Tilden in November. If we
can carry Ohio in October, we will sweep
the country like whirlwind IN Noyem'
Der. Therefore it is of the utmost I'M
portance that every Democratic vote be
poled at the October election. The
moral effect of victory then will make
Tilden's election certainty. BRING out
full vote on the second Tuesday OF
October, and will surely triumph.

RICHELIEU.-At the Opera House last
evening, was produced for the first time
in this city, for number of years, Bull
wer's great drama of Richelieu, Mr.
Chas. Pope in the title role. Miss Rosa
Rand rs Julia de Mortimar, and J. +
Wheelock as Adrian de Mauprat, sup
ported by the New Orleans Variety
Theatre Company, combination of
talent such as has not been presented to a
Wheeling audience for years. The
audience, though not so large as
it should have been, was composed of
people thoroughly acquainted with the
stage such as were competent to judge
the merits of the play, and the reception
given Mr.. Pope was hattering, he being
frequently applauded during the pro-
gress of the play. His rendition Of char
actcr -! ;hc crafty Cardinal met the full
expectation of the admirers of the tai
ented Barrett in that role, and especially
great was the triumph of Mr..
Pope in the course scene," wherein
is drawn the magic circle around
his beautiful ward, and the curse of
Rome launched on him who dared to
cross the line, defying both King
and crown. Miss Rosa Rand as Julie de
Mortimer, and Mr.. Wheelock as Adrian
de Mauprat, are also deserving of men
ton, rendering their respective parts IN
manner deserving of the greatest praise.
Tonight will be produced"The Gascon,'
new play, In which Mr.. Pope has won
great renown. All should attend and
thus encourage the legitimate drama in
a substantial manner.
