In the telegsphic despatch from this city,
dated 7th instant, and published on the first
page Of the New York Herald of the 9Th inst,
the following paragraph is found, viz:

Al Dead sure thing.

The Antics, for ten days previous to the
Maryland election, Dragged prodigiously about
their prospects. Bets were freely offered at
odds ON Mays election. The city post Office
clique clustered about the hotels and club
rooms, and rumour says they hazarded con-
siderable amount on the Maryland election.
OF course the stakes have all been taken down,
and the clique find themselves minus por-
ton Of the proceeds of their sinecure offices.
We would advise them in future to husband
their pecuniary resources with more care and
not venture so much against the indomitable
Sam. II was "a dead sure thing" We told
you SO, but you would not believe us, and suf
fcred the consequences Cannot the clique
persuade Campbell to cnumerate the 'loosings'
among the post office deficiencies, or ask for
an appropriation for carrying " the black maiIs''
