Waliaoe la Indulging bis appetite for percentages, and deducing from the results in Maine the absolute mathe matical certainty of a Demooratio Tlotory in Pennsylvania, we beg leave to oall his atten tion to the following figure work. The Totes polled in this State in 1866 and 1867 reBpeotlrel were as follows: 1886. 1"67. Republican vote 307.274 m.Xil Democratic vote .. m.WM 2o7.7ttf Majority, 17, 178 R 922 D Total vote................ 597,370 531,570 Now let ns bring these figures into still closer oomparieon. We have the following result: Vote of IBM. Vole of 107 Rep. 807.V74 ...2olI,824 Dem. 290.0H6 iiU7,74tt To'al 597.870 534,570 Decrease 40,450 22,350 02,80) That is to say, while the total vote was lecreased 62,800, the falling off in the Repub. Mean ranks was 40,450 and in the Demooratio ranks 22,350. This shows that 18,100 more Republicans than Democrats kept away from the polls in 1867, thereby giving the Bute to the Demooraoy by the beggarly majority of 922 votes. Now, for the sake of the argument, we will ooncede that the Demooracy, by the aid of all their traditional appliances, inoluding a plentiful supply of coffee-colored naturaliza tion papers, will be able to regain the full com plement of their loss, 22,350. To counter balance both this and last year's majority of 922, and to give us the State by a round majority of 2500, we must regain 25,772, still leavinK in reserve a Republican column of nearly 15,000 voters who took an active part in the campaign of 1866. The vote in this year was a remarkably full one, and it is not probable that it will be, or can be, in the aggregate, materially increased at either of the coming elections. If suoh should prove to be the oaae the struggle will be for the support of the Republican reserve of 15,000, and to enable the Demoorats to cancel our assumed majority of 2500, and at the same time to offset the votes of Buch of the 15,000 in reserve as re main faithful to their past record, they must recover their lost adherents, over 22,000 in number, and, in addition, suoceed in prose lyting at least 0000 voters who supported the Republican ticket in 1866. In a population which embraoes nearly GOO, OOO voUra, thl may not appear a very formidable task. If the Republicans were entirely inactive, it might possibly be accomplished. But they are by no means laoking in spirit and energy, and it is safe to say that for every Republican who can be persuaded, through the instru mentality of torchlight processions and empty platitudes about a white man's government, to desert his principles at this great orisis in the nation's history, there will be found at least one man heretofore voting the Demo cratic tioket who will regard Seymour as too heavy a dose, when coupled with Hampton and Forrest. In short, it is evident, from a oareful and eandid examination of the figures given above, that nothing short of a great "reaction" will avail the Demooratio party at this juncture. Such a "reaction" has been loudly prophesied, but wherever the lines have come together on the battle-field, it has been disoovered that the great bulk of the party whloh sustained the Government throughout the war has re mained true and faithful to its standard. This faot was developed by the results of the recent eleotions in Vermont and Maine, and it needs no inspiration to prediot that in Pennsylvania there will be the same termination to the con test. Putting it all together, the "cheering news" which comes to our Demooratio con temporary "from every portion of the State," is, despite the percentages of Mr. Wallaoe, of a very cheerless character. Nothing short of downright folly on our part, whioh shall fairly rival that of the Hampton-Demooraoy, oan cause the State to go against us. Of suoh folly we have not as yet been guilty. Queer. When the following despatches from Maine to the Boston Post are plaoed side by side they read rather awkwardly: "Firit Despatch. 'The campaign has been conducted wiln unexampled vigor by botn parties.' "Second Despatch. 'The State eleotlon bas been looked forward tu with a great deal of la terest by both parlies, aucl the campaign baa exhibited a greater amount or eutnaslaem, and km been entered into with more vigor, than any precedlog ooutesl since 18(11 ' "Third Despatch ' the Demooraoy of the Pine Tree Blate were without an organization.' " It was immediately after Terming the last of these despatches that Mr. William A. Wallaoe sat down to figure out the Demooratio triumph in Maine on the admirable per cent -age system. The remarkable suooess whloh he bai aohieved al a mathematician is rivalled only by the sagacity of the Boston Fust, which, after asserting that the campaign iu Maine had been "conducted with unexam pled vigor by both parties" in fact, "with more vigor than any preceding oontest slnoe 1864" made the melancholy disoovery that the Demooraoy had gone into the field "with out an organization." Strange, as well as great, are some of the nses of adversity. Tab eleotion of Seymour and Blair would be tantamount to the transfer of the national Government into the hands of Rebel conspira tors, who would wield its powers to perseoute loyalty, to exalt treason, to reverse the ver diet of the war, to plunge the nation Into deeper distresses than have ever yet baen known, to derange trade, to bankrupt the treasury, and to secure the substantial triumph of the demons of discord and eeoesnlon in spite of the tumble gacrilioes of patriotic oitizous. The Lesiioa To-day. Threi seems no doubt but that at the roll oall to lay there will be a quorum of both Houses of Congress, and we have good assuranoe for asserting that to-morrow they will adjourn until some time in November. We earnestly hepe that such will be their oourse. It is the soundest polioy whioh they oan possibly adopt. The country is on the eve of a deci sive politioal verdict. The jury have been in consul taticn for months past, and are just In the aot of giving their verdiot. For an Inter ruption to be made at this moment would be both unwise and inopportune. Let the whole question of the wrongs of the South continue in abeyance until after the eleotion for President. These wrongs will then be righted by the people themselves, and their sorvants can follow out their dlotatefl. Spaiit ih a Ferment. The oable to-day gives ns the first vague reports of the revolu tion which has so long been pending in Spain The rottenest monarchy In ill Europe is at last about to undergo a reoonstrnotion. Gene ral Prim, who has been in a state of ohronio insurrection for several years past, appears to be at the head of the movement, and if the reports which we have received have the slightest foundation in truth, he is likely at last to cancel his long-standing soore with the Spanish Bourbons. Bat the probable . results of the insurrection will not be restricted to his politioal or mili tary advancement. No possible change oould , be for the worse; oome what may even the entire suppression of the outbreak the people of Spain will be much benefited and Queen Isabella be taught a lesson whioh she couli easily have learned by reading the history of her kingdom. It would appear, however, that the lesson comes too late; for, with the greater portion of the army and navy in open revolt, the ohanoes are decidedly against the longer continuance of the Bourbon dynasty in power. Astousdino Gains. When the New York Tribune attempts to show that a Republican gain in Pennsylvania equal in proportion to that in Maine will give ns 33,000 additional votes in October, the World throws its mathe matician in the path and shows how the Repub' lioan majority has decreased 8000 since 1866. Now it the World must go back of 1867 for purposes of comparison, why can't it go baok a little further? In 1844 President Polk car ried Maine by a majority of 6505 over all 09m petitors. This year the Republican majority is at least 20,000. Put the two together, and yon have the astounding figures of 26,505, as representing the Republican increase on the majority alone. But this is not the whole of the wonderful story. The Abolition vote in that State In 1844 was but 4836. Last week it reached the very respectable figure of 74,000, showing a clear gain of 69,164, or full 1430 per cent. But let ns be Impartial while we are about it, and confess that this enor mous gain of 1430 per cent, is to be distri buted through twenty-eight years, giving an annual increase of only 51 per oent. Having thus reduced our figures, we are ready to apply them to our own State. Last year the Repub lioan vote in Pennsylvania was 266,824, 51 per cent, of which is 136,080. Hence, if the result in Maine is to be taken as a guide, we shall roll up in this State in October a vote-of 402,904 on the percentage principle. Mr. Wallace's heaviest estimate of the Demooratio vote is but 377,124, leaving ns a majority of 25,780, which, although not as large as it might be, is altogether quite satisfactory. Why the Opera lioufTe was a Success. Adramatlo critic who Is obliged to notice all the operas, plays, spectacles, and other amuse ments tbat are brought out In the oourse of a season, will, If he Is possessed of the neoes saiy qualifications for his duties education' cultivated taste, and real refinement fre quently find himself In opposition to the popular fancy of the moment. If he la sure of the ground upon which he stands. It Is an unpardonable weakness to yield to the ruling paealon of the hour, and to allow himself to be carried away by It bo as to give expression to opinions which are not in aooordanoe with good taste or a high-toned morality. At the same lime there la nothing more silly than to condemn a play or opera or nay. aiyle of artt In fact merely because It Is popular. Thl assum ption of a superior morality and a supe rior knowledge will not Impose upon many! and unless the crltlo Is able to advanoe sound' substantial reasons for his censures, whloh wilt tear the test of examination, he will only ge' 44 edit for an affectation of singularity and an attempt to air his superior knowledge by differ lDgwlth the common held. We make tbes9 statements lo show that our partiality for the Opera BouSe and the muslo of Offenbaoh is due to a deliberately formed opinion, and .that we are not Influenced by the faot tbat our ideas are In accordance with those of the majority. We candidly think, however, tbat when a crltlo can conscientiously coincide with the popular fancy, it Is for the best interests of art that be should do so, and he will exert more influence for good when that influ ence Is moat needed than if be perohea himself upon the pinnacle of high art, and persistently soorns everything and everybody beneath him. We have no fault to find with those who differ with us about the merits of Oflenbaoh's muslo, for tbat may be pretty nation a matter of indi vidual taste, about whloh every man la entitled to have and to express his own opinion, but we do object decidedly to the misrepresentations which have been made in regard to the Opera Bouffe, and to the charges of Indecency, whloh we believe to have no substantial foundation. It is worth while, therefore, to inquire why the Opera Bouffe was a suooess. The primary objeot of all theatrloal enter tainments is the amusement of the audleuoe; and that popular amusements are necessary in a well-ordered oommunlty, we do not suppose that any but a few tulok-headed bigots will presume to deny. To make these amutements subservient to the cause of good morals and true cultivation is one of the fu notions of criti cism, and it is unfortunate that so few orltloi have any adequate idea of the Important and responsible offlca whloh they hold. The highest class of entertainments are those whloh appea1 to the lntelleot, and the more people that oan be induced to attend them and enjoy them the better it will be. Others, again, are almost purely sensuous mind, we do not say sensual and one need not j Interfere with the other, on the contrary, both can be enjoyed equally by the same persons, for the mind of man bas a natural craving for variety which ills perfectly proper aud rlgui lo gralliy; and while at one time we may weep at the woes of "Desdemona," or feel our blood chilled by the terrible scene of "DnncanV' murder, we may, with perfect consistency and sincerity, roar with laughter at the gaucherles of "Private Frits."- Theeffeot of only pursuing one line of studies, or only contemplating one artlslio model even if It be of the btgbest char aoter Is narrow-mindedness and menial stag natiop. Different grades of Intellect will take pleasure in different kinds of art and literature, but the best IntelleoU, li not warped byprfju dice, can enjoy art that Is not of the highest kind equally well, or even better, than those In whose minds high art excites no emotions whatever. The Opera Bouffe was snoceasfal beoause it put people In a good humor and gave them something to laugh at. In produoiog this re sult Oflenbaoh's muslo was only one Item to be considered among many others. La Qrande Duchtsse do Qerclslein and La Belle Helens were brought out in a style ol eleganoe and artistic completeness that bad never been equalled on the American stage. We have seeu scenery, dresses, and appointments more costly than were exhibited in these pieces, but never the same perfection and excellent management In all the details. All things were Just as they should be, and the mere pecuniary value of the decorations was an entirely secondary matter, besides the good taste that was everywhere apparent. In La Sella Helena, partloularlyi tbe scenery, the grouping of the characters on the stage, the elegance, without gorgeousness, of the dresses, the combinations of oolors.and all the little niceties wUlob produce an effect with out appearing to do so, were in an eminent degree attractive and satisfying to the most fastidious and critical eye. Tue public were quick to appreciate tbe merits of the entertain ment couBldered merely aa.a show, whloh ap pealed only lo the sense of sight, although many, perhaps, dld.not take the trouble, or were unable, to discover wherein the. excellence con sisted. Besides the appointments, however, there u well-trained troupe of accomplished performers, and leaving Tostee out of the ques tion, In MM. Guffroy, Duchesne, Lagrlflbul, and Led no we had four of tbe best purely comlo actors who have ever appeared in . this city. With these facts before us it Is easy to under stand why the Opera Bouffe made a hit, and why -it is likely to keep the position it baa obtained in our list of amusement8 so loDg as it Is presented In the same style of completeness that it has been heretofore. Offen bach's muslo was so In accordance with all the rest, and It was so lively and inspiring, that It Is not a matter for any surprise that it becam0 Immensely popular. If we were obliged to make a choice between Mozart and Offenbach .we should, of course, unhesitatingly dismiss the latter, perhaps with a pang of regret; but, fortu nately, we are not called upon' to make any such decision, and we can enjoy the one without any detriment to our partiality for the other. Tbat Offenbach's music will ever supersede tha of Mozart is an Idea too absurd to be worthy of a moment's consideration; on the contrary, we look upon tbe light, easy, but frequently beau tiful muslo of La Qrande Duchesse and La Belle Ilelene as likely to be of Important servloe in cultivating the taste of the public, and in bring ing about a greater degree of appreciation of the more difficult compositions of the great masters. It has been charged that Offenbaoh is inde cent, and that he bas given a "glamour to lech ery." On this point we take issue. There can be no such thing as indecent or Immoral muslo, and it is not in the power of Offenbaoh or any othr man to usgeati improper or lloentlous ideas by his molodles. If there Is anything ob jectionable in either of his works whloh have been given in this city, Offenbaoh is not neoes sarily responsible for it. Bow far he may have influenced the writers of the libretti of La Qrande Duchesse and La Belle Ilelene we, ol course, do not know, nor Is it pertinent to the subject at present under consideration for us to inquire. Aa we remarked In a former artlole, 1 is the crltio'a duty to censure lndeoenoy and to use his best efforts to purify the Btage. There is nothing, however, whloh requires more tact and discrimination; and it is deplorable tbat so few writers of dramatlo and musical criticisms seem to be endowed with the good sense and good Judgment which Is so neoessary in dealing with this matter, if the cause of virtue and morality is to be subserved. There Is one scene In La Qrande Dueheste whloh Is in some degree objeotlonable. . In an English version of the piece, whloh was brought out at the Walnut Street Theatre last winter by Mr. and Mrs. Gemersal, the indelicacy of the tltuatlon was more apparent than It was In the French performance at the Aoademy of Muslo where It would nos have been noticed had no v attention been specially and repeatedly oalled to It. With this exception there is absolutely nothing In the plots of either of OffenbaoU's operas, which we have seen, that can be fairly found lault with on moral grounds. If the plot of La Belle Helena is offensive to morality, then Is Homer's "Iliad" also; and we have not yet found the crltlo who has the hardihood to make this assertion. It is charged, however, that in the original French versions of the operas there are double tntendres and indelicate allusions whloh should not be permitted upon the stage. If suoh exist they ought certainly to be con demned, but ninety-nine out of every hundred persons who took pleasure in witnessing the Opera Bouffe performances last winter, would never have known anything about them if news paper writers had not taken a particular plea sure In dragging them into the light, and iu lidding them up for the Inspection of the publlo from every point of view. That such critlolsmwas conducive to morality, or any thing more than an exhibition of offensive prudery .whloh takes pleasure in contemplating the disgusting side of things under a pretense of iuper-vlrtuoi8ness, we do not believe. It la not a little strange tbat Oflenbaoh's works should De assailed with suoh vehemence, while operas like Don Giovanni and Itigolctto are allowed to go unpunished. There is pro bably not an objeotlonable word or phrase in either of them, but the plots of both are so grossly offensive that, in spite of the muslo of Uotart and Verdi, they ought to have been driven from tbe stage long ago. The writers of crltlolsm who are so anxious to do something in the way of reforming the stige, would oe rendering an essential service if they would exert themselves to banish Don Giovanni, Iiiyolello, and other standard operas, equally as bad, from our Academy of Muslo. It ought not to be a very difficult task to adapt other and less offensive subjects to the fine muslo whloh we would be unwilling to lose, and to accom plish this end writers might use their pens with some effect. But enough of this for the present at least. We bave no fear that high art will be Injured or the growing taste of the puollo for the best muslo be depraved by listening to Offenbach's snalos. Tbe question whether bis composi tions will aurvlve the fanoy of the hour la one that lime alone can determine, and If his works bave anything more than a superficial excel lence tbey will live in spite of all that oan be said against them. We have been, endeavoring to dud awirj that will exactly suit our Ideas of Offenbaoh' music and a contemporary has fortunately fur nished ns with the precise comparison that we need sillabub. Now sillabub la an uncom monly nice thing to take, especially after a hearty meal of more solid meats, to leave a pleasant flavor In the mouth; and Offen bach's operas are uncommonly agree able for a variety after a oourse of Bee thoven, Mor.art, Rossini, Meyerbeer, and Verdi. Hlllabub Is soaroely to be recommended as a steady diet for a healthy man, and if we were condemned to bear nothlag but Offen bach we would speedily get heartily tired of blm. Wo are not reduced to suoh a strait as that, however, Just yel; nor are we likely to be, so we go in for Offenbach and sillabub. The Theatre 111 l Evening-.
