Betting on Eieciions.--Ths reckless

following article from the New York
Evening Post.
The amount ol beta entered into in The
course Of the state elections has been pro-
digious. No desperate gsmesIer al Fras-

more msdly Than many have sIaked theirs
on the chance of these elections. The
Philadelphia papers talk currently Of a
million OF dollars bet,ed in that city on
The result Of the Pennsylvania elections.
The Courier itself, speaking Of the receipt
Of the first intelligence from Pennsylvania,
which was favorable TO The wings. relat-
ing as il did TO The city Of Philadelphia
aud its neighborhood, makes the following
admission:
alt is calculated that between the time
the accounts received here-one or two
O'Clock in the morning aud day.ligh,-a,
least eighty thousand dollars we're bet
and los, in one hotel in this city,"
We frequently hear the remark made.
that numbers in this city must be utterly
ruined BY The large wagers they have laid
on the recen, elections.
The truth is, that the same spirit Of
mad adventure, the neck-or-no,hing spirit,
the disposition to hazard every thing in
The hope oil gaining much. which showed
itself in commercial and land speculations
three years since, is now active in taking
enormous risks on the chances OF this or
that political candidate.
The other day men gambled in new
corporations in fancy stocks. in frog lots,
in photographic cities, now they gamble
in elections. This is species Of gam
bling the more general and the more HARM
full, because it 10 not ye, marked with
that public disapproba,ion which 1t de-

from the folly Of the risk incurred, the
