BETTING ON ELECTIONS.

Our counses against this practice for reasons Of
both morality and policy; and we are glad 10 perceive
that the New York Tribune earnestly opposes it. That
paper says:
"For several years the Sham Democracy carried this
city by the money which Wings alured into betting
with them. The plan Of operations this The mana
gers would bet much they thought necessarysay

frauds for which they made pay the entire cost
Had there been no bets made on the election Of 1874
New York would have voted for Henry Clay and elected
him. Gigantic frauds defeated him, and the basis Of
these frauds was betting.
"The purblind the timid, the increduous, now begin

We ask Wing friends TO give their serious attention
to the above and to avoid betting At best II is but
gambling but it is also attended by effects disastrous to
our interests.
We think it was Dr. Johnson who said that betting was
the fools argument but Il appears that the knaye also
knows how to apply il to his use Washington Telegraph

The CHIHUAHUA TRADE.-We gather from q late mum
Der Of the San Antonio Texas Ledger that the
Of goods at Magonsvlle, the village the Amer
side Of the Rio Grande, opposite Ell Paso is estimated
in value at csst prices at the immense Of four hun
dred thousand dollars and there not less than eighty
hundred thousand dollars worth ransia. The
Ledger says that from the peculiar situation Of affairs
on the border this large amount Of property must remain
in allegiance for at least two years These goods were
destined, it is well known for the Chihuahua market
1t appears that the Governor Of Chihuahua is himself
competitor in the trade his extensive train having passed
through this channel some time since, laden with his
goods He has therefore caused the extremity Of the
Mexican tariff to be exacted Heretofore the tariff has
been three cents per vara now however, nine cents is
e1acted. The result is apparent The goods must either
be struggled, or nger storage until some modification
OF the tariff. - Victoria Adrocde
