Tho bill Tor the suppression OF gah'ns'
which nassed the Senate, was amended in the
House with the additional penalty of thirty
nine lashes at the whipping post. on the bare
hack. we'll laid on" This applies only to the
g4mbler and his associates, but not to the Wis
TORS or bctters. This important amendment
will 90 farther to suppress the evil than any
other punishment that could be inflicted.
Persons who have leased or rented houses
now used as gambling hells, should in'medl.
ately see to their property, for il. is confscated
by this act from its passage. The bonus OF
one-half to the person making the seizure, TO-
se,her with the fact that public opinion will
greatly applaud any man Or policeman who
will detect and bring to the whipping post
these wretches, will greatly increase vigi-
lance. and some man will make his fortune
by Selling upon a gambleran and bringing in the
players upon oath to testify to the violation Of
the law. 1t has generally been supposed diff
icult to apprehend the gamblers, but such is
not really the case, and, with the high bonus
given by this bill, ingenuity and vigilance will
not be long waiting for their reward. Let
persons. who have rented their property look
to it; and let the gamblers look to their "bare
backs" for the titilating sensation of the cow
skin awaits them.
Public opinion is determined to eradicate
this great evil, and the gamblers will consult
sound discretion by Immediately abandoning
their cards and respecting public sentiment,
close up their houses, and seek some other
business, or live in retirement upon their win
nings. A storm is brewing which they cannot
withstand, and which it is suicidal to attempt
to avoid. We earnestly advise them to close
up and retire. We do not expect the law to
correct the gaming propensity Unborn in some
men, but we do look to this law to greatly
mitigate the evil. We do not wish to see any
gambler whipped; we only desire the tempta-
ton withdrawn; and if the gamblers will re-
spect the law and leave Virginia free from
their insidious corruption, they will, to some
degree. win that respect denied them by their
Infamous trade.
This Legislature has shown a determination
worthy of the times of sorrow and trouble now
upon the country: and among its efforts to ad-
vance the public good, this law against ga
ming will not be without its good results.
Since writing the above we learn that the
Senate made the whipping discretionary with
the Court. This is to be regretted, since it
holds out to the gamblcr'a hope of escape, and
will induce him to run the risk. Let the
punishment follow conviction rs the shadow
does the substance, and then the gambler
knows what he has to expect.
We hope the House will nor concur, and
send the bill to the Senate with the whipping,
not discretionary, but obligatory, upon the
Court.

+ Gentlemen: Can you inform me why it is
that the applications for the balance of pay
due the heirs Of deceased soldiers are suffered
to lie over in the I'd Auditors Office from twelve
to eighteen months without being acted on
I know of over fifty persons who sent on their
applications over fifteen months since, and
not one of then has ever heard a word from
them. They were informed at the time they
made out their claims that they would be taken
up aud acted on in the order Of their presen-
tation this rule was set forth in the circular
issued by the Auditor and Secretary of War
in November last.
If this rule had been adhered to no one
would have complained; but as it is not, they
do and have q right to complain as the man
nsr in which they have been treated.
Respectfully Taos. DusDEs.
