An active war is to be urged by the
Kentucky Daughters of the Con
federacy against the presentation OF
"Uncle TOMS Cabin" upon any stage
in that State and steps have been
taken by the State and local chapters
looking to that end. They say and
Justly. that it is base libel on the
South, especially on the institution
of slavery and is an insult to which
they should not be subjected. That
il is too vile and false to be present.
ed at any place in the South there
can be no question but protests
against its production ought not TO
be necessary. The people OF the
South ought to have too much res
pect for themselves to encourage the
play by their presence aud thereby
prevent it.

The Democratic State Central
Committee, at its meeting in the city
Of Richmond, Tuesday night, adopt
ed with some amendments, the Ely
son plan Tor primary nominations
The Committee did its work well in
striking out of the plan the objec-
tionable feature, requiring aspirants
for nomination to defray the heavy
expense incident to the primary, and
in retaining the viva-voce feature op
posed by several members of the
committee. The merits of the plan
more fully appear in the following
extract from an editorial in the Rich
mond Dispatch;
The State Committee construed
the instructions given it by the Nor
folk convention to mean that it
should frame plan and make ready
for it's use without further action
upon the part of the convention.
Accordingly the State plan will be-
come operative in the nomination of
congressman this year. AS to local
canvasses this spring, and thereafter,
it is discretionary with our City and
County committees whether they
will adopt the primary plan or the
convention plan in making nomina
tions.
The subcommittee was not sus-
tanned in its recommendation that
candidates should be assessed to pay
Of mil rfoc II ho
case of United States Senator the
aggregate assessment would have
amounted, according to Chairman
Ellyson's estimate to about $7,500,or
If there were two candidates, to 49,
ESQ for each candidate. Under the
plan adopted, as we understand it,
each county and city must make pro-
vision for furnishing polling places
and officers of election. If those COM
mittees Gao get suitable volunteers,
so much the better for them; if they
have to pay" election officers and
pay rentals, upon them, not upon
the candidates, nor upon the State
Committee will devolve the duty of
raising the needful money.
The county members of the State
Committee are OF the opinion that
they will find no lack of volunteers
for this service. The fact that the
method of voting adopted is viva
voce will make it easier to secure vol
unteers than the secret ballot would.
Under the viva-voce plan there will
be no ballots to count; no tedious
figuring; ten minutes after the polls
are closed the standing of each can
didate may be ascertained and an
nounced.
AS we have said, City and County
committees, in the case OF purely
local elections, may elect whether
nominations shall be made by pri-
mary elections or otherwise, but we
find the opinion prevalent among
leading men of the State Committee
that where primaries are ordered
the viva-voce system of voting must
be used.
