Gamblers, CONVENTION.

Some of our readers may have forgot
ten, and others may never have heard, OF
a strange convention which was held at
Chicago in 1859 1t was that of the
gamblers of the United States, in which
every State was represented Although
a gathering of "hard cases" morally, the
appearance of the delegates is described
as having been highly respectable. The
Chicago Democrat said of them; I" A
finer looking set of men we have never
seen than they are, taken upon the ave-
rage. They are all fat and we'll, very
we'll dressed, with jewelry in abundance
and some of them are said to be what
their looks indicate, men of talents"
Two important matters came up before
the Convention. One was the revision Of
the old rules and the adoption Of new
ones for the various games Itwas found
that these rules were constructed differ
entity in different States, and that several
lives had been lost in broilS arising from
this difference in their Interpretation.
Uniformity reconstruction was demanded
by all the delegates. The other subject
of discussion was the non.interference OF
professional gamblers in politics, which
led to very warm debate, and was
finally laid upon the table.
