THE DRAAA.-There is o great diver
atty Of opinion in the world alb to the
good or evil effects Of theatrical enter
tainments. The strict pietist rejects
them In toto as the hot bed of sin and
irreligion, whilst the theatre lover re-
CARDS the Drama as the hand-maid of
Progress, and the scourger Of the faults
and follies Of the Age.
In the early stage of the Drama, the
day OF the Cothurllus and mask, when
th~irty-eight thousand people would as
aemble in d vast amphitheatre to thrill
ct the sorrowsm the Antigone or Medea,
the question of moral effects did not in
trude. People were content to set aside
certain places, and certain hours for
amusement. The question of propriety
and improperly sprung up at a later
day and with the indecencies of a more
modern stage.
The Drama is decidedly an educator,
but whether for good or evil depends
entirely upon the character of the rep
vaccinations. When d play is full OF
good and wholesome thought. when il is
purein intention, and idealizing in inhu-
anee, it is decidedly a beneattoits hear
e Even msimply amusing, it makes
an innocent pastinae at which the most
rigid conscience would not rebel, but

There is evidence that some Of the
maidens of the South are made of gen.
uine stuff. The Charleston News tells
OF O young lady, nineteen years old, in
Balaberg, South Carolina, who, with the
assistance of one negro girl, has raised
twenty-five acres Of cotton, besides
" abundance of corn, peas and potatoes,
and enough sugar and syrup to last for
three years." 1t would be a pity to
spoil such women by giving them the
right to vote and hold Office. They can
do better. .-..-

There appears to be considerable Of a
row in the Radical camp over the re-
moval of Hon. c. B. DarraIl from their
State ticket by the joint State Execu-
tive Committees and the substitution
thereon of Senator Thos. II. holland.
The fusion with them seems to have
produced as great confusion as in the
Liberal party. Darrall declares his in
tention to run Not0nds-rolenS, and he
will poll a much larger vote than his
opponent, particularly amongh he cOlored
people with whom he is Il great fav0-
rite. Thus we have four tickets in the
field for the Third Congressional Dis
trict, to.wit j. B. Price, Independent,
Ebert CAN'T, Liberal, T. Fl. holland,
Radical F~usiOnist and c. Il. D~arrall,
Republican. 0UrneighbOr of the Grand
Era is out heavy for Darrall and gives
numberless reasons why he should be
supported aud by what trickery he was
displaced from the ticket F.; and such ap-
pears to be the sentiment of three
fOurths Of the Radical papers in the
District. CAN'T will beat the whole
caboodle of them and that will end the
matter. So keepyour shirt on, J. Henri.

The Stamp Tax.
Especial to the Chicago Tribnne.1

ASNN
WASHINGTON, October 1.-The new
law concerning stamp tax went into eff
feet to-day. 1t i~sexplained, forthe ben
eft of the business public, that hereafter
no stamp will be required on promissory
notes, time drafts, bonds, certificates,
contracts OF customhouse papers,, but
will only be retained on bank checks,
drafts or orders. In this latter connec-
ton the Internal Revenue Department
has lately decided that q stamp is re-
quired on inland bills of exchange, if
payable on sight or on demand also, on
all orders at sight on private individuals
for any sum over $40. This decision
has, however, been questioned, and viii
be appealed to the Secretary of the
Treasury. The departmcntalso decides
that on and after to-day, no stamps are
necessary on foreign bills of exchange.
The only government stamps necessary
after to-day WILDE for tobacco, ferment-
ed liquors, patent medicines, matches
and checks. In regard to deeds and
| wills, the commissioner holds that any
papers of this charactershOuld be stamp
| ed in order to be valid. It would not be
legal to record after that date if not
stamped. If the probate of a will is not
taken out befOret this date, it requires no
government stamp, even if the devisOr
died previously. An instrument requires
a stamp when issued, but not before.
