CONSTITUTION.

MAJOR L. W. r. BLA1R.-This
gentleman has consented, at great sac
rifce, to serve in the Convention, if
elected, but with that respect for the
people, the occasion and himself which
is most becoming, has remained at
home attending to his business, and it
is feared that many do not know he is
Il candidate.
Let not his great worth ansl~t the
importance Of his services be over
looked On Monday next. Major
BLAIR has perhaps to all equal degree
with any man in the District, all the
qualities requisite on this important
occasion-cducation nerve, foresight,
prudence and unquestioned patriotism.
His mind is thoroughly trained,
well stored with all the important
truths taught by Philosophy, History
and Constitutional law, and of course,
he only is competent to make constitu-
tional changes who knows both the
constitution of his own country and
of other countries. Mr.. BLA1R's COM
potency is well known and his patri-
otism has been equally impressed on
the people of this District.
During the past four years he has
probably done more than any man in
the District for the families of the
needy and the absent, though, not
with any hope of reward; yet let not
the evidence that such merit is appre-
ciated be withheld.
Moreover, Major BLAIR was a very
large slaveholder-he knows the
wants and capacities Of the negro, and
while acquiescing cheerfully in the
necessities of their emancipation, he
appreciates the necessity for careful
legislation, to protect all classes from
''r y"srant habits and pilfering ten.

The Amnesty Oath Again

notwithstanding the earnest efforts we have
made to explain the necessity for taking the
oath OF amnesty, as prescribed by President
,ToHSsox's Proclamation Of May 2Stl, as an
indispensable qualification to the exercise of
the right of suffrage at the coming elections,
and oar equally Jealous cnleavors TO place the
whole subject before our citizens in SO iutc!i-
crbIe light that no misunderstanding might
exist in this important matterwe hnd that a
serious misapprehension has been occasloned

who ere, and those VINO are not within the en-
cepteG clauses OF said Proclamation, and those
who must, and those who reed not he appli-
cauts for speacial pardon, a"l also in consc.
uuence of the difference between the oaths
which have bcea administered to these two
distinct classes respectively, as the necessities
of their cases requircd-aov being sufficiently
understood. We had already in previous ar
ticlcs defined these differences, and informed
our readers that all persons who had taken, or
were privileged to take me Amnesty Oath by
reason of their not being embraced within any
ofsaid exceptions, would be entitled to vote;
and that those who were within said exceptions
could also vote provided they hal received
special pardous from the President The appli-
cation for said pardon however would of neccs
sity have to be predicatcd upon the taking of
the Amnesty Oath before they could be enter.
tanned, and it seems that in the course ofadmin.
isteripg said oath a confusion has been OCCASION
ed in the minds Of those taking them which
we desire to explain away. For this purpose
the matter has been brought to the attention
of the authorities in order that we might
authortatively settle the differences of opinion
which we have referred to. We now present
to our readers the two forms of oaths, together
with the correspondence, which we trust will
definitely determine the doubts expressed:

carefully read the Amnesty Proclamation is

accomplished nothing that another man may mot ac.

CORRESPONDENTS,

General Hatch-Is it necessary, in order to
qualify voter that be should have taken both
Of the within oaths? Many are under the im>
preston that the second is sufficient, although
the $4,000 clause deprives any Of the right to
vote except by procuring special pardon.
Respectfully,

Upon which General Hatch endorsed the
following reply:
Respectfully returned. This form ofoath
is only used by those applying for pardon"
This official correspondence which has been
kindly furnished us by the Provost Marshal,
Major Steubsn, who directed the enquiries at
our suggestion, will definitely settle the last
question which we believe can be raised as to
the efficacy of the Amnesty Oath in establish
ing tue right Of suffrage to each individual, and
leads to the following conclusions

Lady Gamblers In New YORK,

In one of my recent letters spoke Of gam.
bling as one OF the vices of our fashionable
women, and have since learned that it is
practiced in certain modish quarters far more
than had supposed. In Fifth Avenue and
Fourteenth and TwentJ-third Streets there
are often parties of ladies. from which the
opposite sex are sternly excluded, where the
fair gamesters play until daylight for large
stakes; and it not unfrequenty happens that
when their purses are depleted they put up
their bracelets, necklaces and watches as
wagers. Some of the feminine gamesters
lose heavily and the desperate shifts--no al
allusion 10 wardrobes-to which they are put
to conceal their losses and replsce them must
be fearfully. .demorazng. A young woman,
the daughter Of one Of our most opulent citi--
zsns, was pointed out TO me in the Park, as a
notorious gambler, by one Of her own sex,
who informed me she had parted with nearly
$l00, 900 since she went to Saratoga, in July,
aud made her doting papa believe she had eT-
pended the sum in dress aud charity. The
young woman in question is very pretty, not
more than twenty and no one regarding her
pale. spirituelle face, her soft blue eyes, and
gentle and reserved manner would immsgine
she had fallen a victim to one Of the most
dangerous Of vices--M Y. Correspondence
