Gambling LawfnIsin Boston.

The Boston Post contains the follow
ing in its law report
Commonwealth Us. Allen Jones. In
this case the court remarked: The de-
PENDANT has. pleaded guilty, but he must
be discharged because the complaint sets
forth no ofense. He is charged with
practicing "unlawful games, to wit;
props" And the complaint is defective
in three points. ]. It is not charged
that the games were played for money.
2. The defendent is not accused of be-
ing in the habit Of using unlawful,
games. 8. The game of props is not OF
itself unlawful, even when played for
money. There is no law in this State
%forbidding gambling, simply as gam
bling. There is an act forbidding gam
bling on the Lords day and Saturday
night, and a law making it indictable to
win five dollars bytgaming or betting.
But there is no statute which forbids
simple gambling. Our legislature has
often been petitioned to pass such a law,
but have always refused to do so. The
complaint must be dismissed.

The Illustrated Times of London hs

The illustrated Times of London has
the following judicious remarks upon
the Presidential election:
0Mr Buehanan's triumph represents
certain principles and facts which are
we'll worth considering. And first, we
may as well say, that in point of talent,
experience and accomplishment, as well
as in his private life, heis eminently re-
spectacle. From the regular statesman
like point of view, he is a better choice
than Fremont, whose a~ntecedents are
not SO political, and whose faculties are
not comparable at all. So far then, we
may be satisfied at the outset with our
cousins choice. Indeed, a man of let
tiers MAY be pardoned for feeling a little
glad, that, Just three hundred years ago
after George Buchanan wrote the famous
treatise (the ode Jure Regni," &c.
which almost inaugurated classical lib
eralism in Europe, a member ofthe same
clan should be chosen head OF the great
Republi,. He has had his fluctuations of
tsprinciple," no doubt; but, as times
change, men must change-and after
all, where is the consistency OF most Of
magnates at home?
In Mr.. Buchanan, American nation
ally triumphs. He may be violent and
unscrupulous at times, but he represents
America after all. In him the Union
triumphs; South and North r pain to-
gether Gin a wrong order, RefAaps. but
together9 the aspirationsof the energet-
ic section of the people are embodied in
him We arc safer with Such a man
knowing that Office will keep him steady
than we should have been hadthe sue
cess of Fremontintroduced newelements
into American government, and set
North and South By the ears about
slavery The,great Black difficulty is
postponed."

quality now existing and urged the i'm

Mr.. Stanton replied that if the Court
should decide that bred Scott is a slave,
he would acquiesce in the decision; but
he would not, in obedience to the Court,
denounce his opinion as to the Fugitive
Slave Law,

Huntington the Celebrated For.
- ger at Sing Sing Prison.


The New York Tribune of Tuesday
has asing Sing correspondent, who thus
writes:
Charles B. Huntington, who has SO
latelyaoccupied the public attention, in
a criminal way, reached the prison on
Friday evening last. The Warden at
first designed to place him in the hat
shop to work; but Huntington being a
cabinet-maker ShF trade, was placed in
the cabinet-shop. He preferred it to
the hat-shop. On Monday he was busy
mailing together bedstead Stats, and pack
ing finished bedsteads for removal. He
maintains his fortitude and works, de-
string to inure him gradually to hard
ships which is the practice with new ar
rivals, for the sake of health, told him
that he might work with his coat on for
a few days of this cold weather; but
Huntington took off his coat and worked
as actively and cheerfully as though he
had all along been working at the bench
instead Of engaging In feats of financial
ground and lofty tumbling in Wall
street. 1t was Huntington's luck, at
his first prison on Saturday, to march
into the hall next to, and be seated at
the side of a large-sized specimen of the
African race. This was new to him, and
of course o very agreeable. This sud-
den transition from luxury to prison
fare, from spacious, richly furnished and
beautiful apartments, to a narrow, gIoo-
my, meanly-furnished eeh, cold and
dark, Is a change which must produce
most painful sensation in his mind
He has expressed his desire to the keep
or TO be made acquainted with the rules
of the prison, so that he may strictly
observe them, and he viii make the best
of it.
pA A Mr.. Watson has invented a
ten dollar sewing machine. Sewing MAJ
chimes are very goodin their place, but
we prefer a machine that weighs about
enc hundred pounds, fills a chair, feeds
itsolf, and wears hoops
