ABOUT TICKETS.
To talk, then, Of tickets distinguished by
this or the other mark, seems to us to be
impairment and unconstitutional. II is a
direct Interference with the freedom Of the
ballot, and the local law has no right to-
dcsigp2le how the citizens shall write or
print His iicket-whether with tlourishes
and IN high colors with illustrations, or in
naked simplicity, with nothing upon the
blankjAprfaoe but the names. The true
idea is,that the ticket shall truthtully con
ycy the intention Of the voter Amy legal
interference except to prevent the practice

~ roLirics AND THE STAGE.
The Dallas HEKALD, in Its issue of the
12.h inst, deyotes an editorial to Uncle
Tom's Cabin, in which it condemns the
play asbeing misrepresentation of slave
life in the south, and when produced on
northern boards is calculated to create a
wrong impression Of the people of the
south. The HERALD concludes thus:
whether this troupe came amongst us as
o part OF the selections made for the Texas
theatrical circuit, or Is travelling on its re.
sponsibility we do not know, but in either
event certainly more instructive, more
pleasant and more truthful pieces can be
put upon the stage to call for our invest
mentsf"
n RADICALLY WRONG.
yFdmund J. Davis, James p. Ncwcomb,
,5aok Evans, Still RUSSELL Dick Allen and
Wright Quincy, are all earnestly working to
elect Wash Jones governor. Not because
he can do more than John Ireland to pro-
mote the prosperity of the state. Not be.
cause he is so likely as John Ireland to
tighten the burden OF taxation. Not be-
cause he will take 80 much care as John
ireland to make citizens secure in their
property, their homes and their persons
but because he is their candidate, because
he is on the track with their endorsement,
because they know that If he should oe
elected he would be bound to feel that he
owed his election to radical endorsement,
radical influence, radical cxert!ons and rad.
