Never was mimic stage more numerously crowded with pappets trained to dance the “can- ean” than were present on the political stage to dance to any music that was played for them. The election drama is now in its fifth act, and the ept- logue Will come next Wednesday morning, when gl: the actors will be called forward to speak their tags. LEDWITH ON TBE BOARDS.

A SEM(-POLITIOAL DRAMA, Speaking of dramas, however, one of the best side pieces in the great semi-political stage drama has been a regular *‘Comedy of Errors.” Shak- speare’s comedy has, as is known to all, for its principal characters Anuphoions of Epnesus, and Dromio his servant, of the same ilk; and an- other Antipuilous of Syracuse, and still another | Dromio as the attendant of the latter Anti- | pholous of the latter Ik. Both masters. and both servants are respectively twin brothers, with strong family likenesses, Then there 1s a “Pywoh,” a schoolmaster and @ conjurer to boot, who figures extensively in the play. In this fresh political “Gomedy of Errors” we have, as the Antiphilous of Ephesus, Marshal Sharpe, of the United States Marshal's office, and his Dromio of | the Tombs, Charles Spencer, The other Antiphilous— he of Syracuse—is Ledwith, with John Fox, another Syracusan, as his particular Dromlo. General Frank Spinola, of the stuf shirt collar, appears as the school- master and conjarer in the little drama. Wherever Marshal Sharpe is seen there also may be seen the twin brother tn action and thought, Spencer, and wherever Dromio Spencer is seen there also Pbears the other Dremio, Fox. Each master and TRICT. ‘The elections in the matter of the Congressional canvass, it inay be sejaown, are new before the peo- ple.

Tues- lay mo ~ Mr. Roosevelt ts pecu! the can- didate of the commercial and laboring 4 ing interests-—two interests which are more biended and identified in that district than in any one other district iu the city. In a recent speech delivered by him Mr. Roosevelt modestly presented his claims. He was the intimate friend and associate in business of Private Miles O'Reilly, Of the Forty-seventh—the late lamented Halpin. An attempt has been made to prejudice him among the Ipish, but this must fail, for nono who know the true-hearted Miles paeiy will be- heve that he could associat» nimself with any but “true men, like you, men,” of the district, one and all, Mr. Roosevelt, like bis father and grandfather, was bora tn the district, and all the business inter- ests of the family, from first to last, have centred in and been {identified with those of the district. His paternal uncle, an old democratic war horse of the past, represented the district in Congress, so that even lu this way he has @ strong claim to the suffrages of all the cituzens of it. Should he get that support bis Constituents will find in him ap active, intelligent and zealous representative— one who, knowing ail the wants and needs of the district, has the abidty and force of character to have those interests recognized and advanced to the fullest extent im every legiiimate way, Generat_ McMahon’s real opponent is General David Wmyss Jobson, another very erratic genius and peripateuo philosopher, who is Canvassing the district with most extraordinary assurance on bis own part of success, That the McMabon-Fox party stand in mortal dread of the terrible Jobson ta seen 1p the fact that their satellites broke up in alsorder an impromptu mass meeting that Jobson was ad- dressing from the steps of the City Hall on Friday last, resulting In the temporary incarceration of the irrepressible candidate for the suffrages of the Foorth districters.

A SBMI-POLITICAL CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. Chemists know of 4 great many admixtures which, if left alone, will mix properly, out, curl ously enough, disturb toem and the more tney are disturbed the greater will be tne precipitate. The Tammany alchemists, appreciating the scientific fact, having eariy bottled and corked down the in- corgrouous mixture of young democratic milk and old administration pap, are constantly engaged tn shaking toe bortie up and down, the result of which will be like that attending the poetic doctor's in- structions —*Hefore taken to be well shaken.” ‘Tne shaking was Gone in the wrong way, and the pa- tient died. So itis with ihe dose prepared for the Young Democracy. GENERAL GRANT FIGATING IT LINE General Grant, with soldierly appreciation of tne situation, having discovered that these queer actions of his licutenants here in New York are injurious to his cause iu the interior of the State, has issued orders to let the combination work itself out, and for the federal oficiats to simply content themselves OUT ON ANOTHER with aiding the local authorities in having a peace- able election, and for Judge Woodruf to join Judge Dowling in sending ali detected repeaters to prison. Tois i6 @ good programme: and tue Chief Justice of the Tombs, on ine part of the democratic régi has set the right excnple for Judge Woodrum, on the part of ihe adminstrauon, to pub down all election frauds, THE STATE CANVAS. General Woodford has by thts time nearly com. his spee hes in the “rurai parishes,” leted Speaking nd has come home w reathe a while and prepare for hig descent into his cellars, like many a Freach citizen did m Metz iately, to escape the inevitable bombardment of next Tuesday.

Governor Hoffman had, however, in two previous campaigns, travelled throughont the State and visited every hamlet, village, town and city its wide borders. In thi# respect he eg piensancay imitated General Grant in preserving a ued siience—pointing to his well known re- j—and praying in his closet “Let us have peace’’ on this line for another four years.

In Mr. Cox’s 4 BROOKS’ DISTRICT. In the Seventh District the present incumbent, Mr. Brooks, ts between two millstones, The demo- cratic vote 1s likely to be divided with him by Juliaa adsworth, President ef the Second Avenue Rail- road, the nominee of Sheriff O’Brien, and on the re- publican side he is opposed by George Wilke: who will not only receive the whole vote of bis party, bat who, from his great popularity with the horse men aud sports—a numerous body tn the Seventh district—will assuredly receive considera- ble strength from democratic votes, Should the re- public: poll an unexpectedly large vote in favor of Wilkes, Brooks’ lormer majority of eleven thou- sand may be reduced to three er four thousaud— enough, of course, to elect him. There 1 no doubt, however, but Mr. Brooks will serve # second term in Congress. COUNTY TICKET—A SHREWD MOVE. The whole democratic ticket sweeps along as an entirety. Hitherto candidates have scrub-raced to see how much of a majority one would have over another, and thus exhibit personal strength for future contests. But with unusual magnanimity Messrs. Brennan, Loew, Keenan, Young and Her- man have issued a card in which they substan- tially say that they do not want auy voles that shall not be equally shared by Mayor Hall and the whole of the ticket. This 13 alse a shrewd move to prevent injudicious friends of Brennan or Loew giving. votes for Ledwith in return for Ledwith votes for Sherif and County Clerk. This reduces the county ightsimply to one for Mayor. It is confl+ Sep asserted by old politicians that at the poils the Young Democracy ticket will, of course, be headed by Woodford, republican candidate for Governor, in pursaance of the bargain and tailed oi with all the names on the whole demo- cratic county ticket, with the exception of the sub- stitution for Ledwith for Mayor, By this manwavre the Tammany disorganizers expect to get republican votes jor Ledwith and humbug some democratic | voters to yorrg for Woodruty and Ledwith by having the names of Loew, Brennan and tne other democratic county candidates conspicuously printed atthe foot of the ticket. But this shallow maneuvyre, being once exposed, must [atl Demo- crats have learned that the faction of disorganizers, Ledwith, Fox, Morrissey, Hayes and Biameuthal and the “roucns” that hang on to their skirts, first invited federal interference with elections py their own infamous acts in the past, and that when the hones democracy repudiated them and drove them from ail participation in their counsels they shame- fully and treacherously allied themselves with the gangs of federal marshals and sapervisors to overawe the houest voters and buily and defraud the naturalized citizens of their newly acquired privileges. MAYOR MALL'S RE-ELECTION SURR. The plain English of the county canvass is, 80 far asthe Young Democracy are concerned, taat Lea- with, under an tdea that tt may be useful to him in future contests for place and power, desires to show present strength and populeriiy, Tue former he may, by deception and by tus unholy alliance with the radical republicans, accomplish, and thus 18 de- termined to run for Mayor. But his popularity must wane and die out trom this day forward, Mayor Hall's re-election is an assured fact. Thou- sands of republicans who may dislike him as a positive partisan will, however, vote for him as the able and popular chief magistrate, whose experi- | ence for twenty years im municipal afaira will be yaiued in preference to any experiment with an adventurer, who prostituies his religious faith and barters his pollmeeh conviction to the highest bidder in the public market, But the pud- lic must see toit that through no trickery, througit no political hocus-pocus or legerdeimain his majority should ve reduced below the nominal ma- jority that will be certainly given to the general ticket, At the Cooper Institute meeting of the Brennan clab last nigat Mayor Hall dignitiedly and conclusively ausweyed every attack that has been made on the city government under the present régime, and clenched the matter by producing the certificate of Moses Taylor, Marshal 0. Roberts, John Jacob Astor and others, who thoroughly examined and scrutinized the city financial accounts as the largest holders of the city debts and heaviest tax- te, it must grounds of all roperly substantiated, against the best conducted department in the city government in the future, THE ASSEMBLY CONTEST.

He was to create districts in whicn there might be ten men, but there couid not be more than. four hundred, ‘or years the radical party had said that the districts were too large, and that the crowds at the polls favo. fraud and confusion. A very honest end intelligent republican, Colonel Duganne, was the author of a plan to provide seven hundred districts, ‘the Mayor made three hundred and seventy-eight, He made them small, 40 that whatever was done could be well watched. He had no sooner done so than, presto, the radical journals ch: d their tune and complained or his action, The Mayor had a apy to perform similar to that endeavored to be performed by Judge Woodruff, © Mayor had to appoint minority party inspectors. Judge Woodruit had to appoint minority democratic. supervisors, The Mayor appointed every radical Anapeoter who came and was sworn in last spring. He has ap- pointed inspectors whom the various radical local committees selected. On request he submitted that list to che Republican State Committee. No fault has been found with him by even the most carping jour- tor his selections of minority inspectors, The great ‘Tammany party presented a fail list to Judge Wood- rut of the minority democratic supervisors. He disdained them, aud appointed a claas of men whom the newspapers have informed you about, The Mayor has been attacked for is communication about the census. It 13 a sufficient answer that the ‘Washing‘on authorities (and I nave seen a letter from a Cabinet oiticer on that subject) have ordered a new census to be taken immediately after election, The Mayor of New York was not alone in complat of the federal census ana what the oMctals h done. Great complaint has been made in Phila-~ delpnia, seconded by no less a person than Mr. Forney, a faithful ally of the administration, In this selection the local authorities have acted tem- perately and discreetly. ‘The Mayor has issued his proclamations offering rewards for illegal voung. A local magistrate punished in @ matter of false registration before the federal court did. There are to be sixteen thousand marshals of the type indica. cated in the newspapers to preserve order at the approaching election.

ALMOST A MURDER. Shooting Affray in Westchester—Alleged Aw tempt of an Uacle to Kill His Nephow— The Victim is Brought Down by a Charge of Buckshot-Committal of the Accused. ‘The particulars of an unfortunate affray tn which @ young man named Jethro Brown narrowly escaped Instant death at the hands of his uncle, after being scrupulously concealed from the public for some days, transpired yesterday at Tarrytown, West- chester county, where Thomas Norman Secor, the accused, was committed to the county jail by Justice Mann. Despite the present reticence of the frienda and neighbors of the accused (who is # respectable farmer living in the town of Greenburg) the following detalls of the tragic occurrence were ascertained:—Not many days ago Brown called as the house of his uncle and requested twenty dollara, that being part of a balance due him on the purchase of & wagon he had recently sold to Secor. The latter, who, it is said, was under the impression that his nephew had outwit ted him in the transaction, insisted ratnor pettishiy on paying the entire amount remaining which he accoraingly handed over f0 #rowa, Scarcely bad the money been paid when Secor's grown daughter entered the room and charged her cousin with having circulated unkind re- ports concerning her. ‘Tits was promptly denied by Brown, who was about to protest his in~ nocence, when Secor became violently angry and orde ed his nephew to sit down, so that they mignt talk the matter over and ascertain the trath of the accusation made by his daughter. The precise con- versation that folloyed has not elapsed, but ere many minutes had transpired the report of a gun ‘was heard outside, and at the same mo- ment Brown fell to the floor, having re- ceived @ charge of buckshot in his right shoulder, Surgical assistance having been procured without delay, it was found that, owing to the immediate proximity of the weapon to the breast of the wounded man when the trigger was pulled, the charge, having ne chance to scatter, forced a quantity of the thick clothing wora by Brown into his shoulder, where it em- bedded itself deeply after. smashing, the collar bone, ‘Lhé shot was subsequently extracted by Dr. Scribner, who states that had it lodzed haif an inch lower, death must have resuited speedily from @ rupture of the subclavian artery. In nis deposition, made before Justice Gee on the day of the shoottng, the Wounded man sets forth that Se- cor took down @ gun loaded with powder and icud, and having levelled 1 at him, fired with the inten- tion of taking bis Ibe. As the official above named ascertained that the crime was not committed in his township, he issued & warrant for the arrest of Secor, making the same returnable betore Justice Mann, who, as already indicated, committed the accused to the county jail until the injured man is able to appear in court, The accused 18 aboul sixty years of ys aod has always borne an excelent reputation. He feels deeply the patoful position in which he is Placed, and, while sincerely regretting the oceur- rence, claims that the weapon expioded acciden- tally, Brown 1s said to bein a fale way of recovery, aud is determined to prosecute bis uncle to the full extent of the law. si ICIOUS CA Aa Lnvestigation To Be Hud.
