FEMALE GAMBLERS The Washing.
ton Chronicle Of Sunday last is rcspon-
sblc for the following announcement
regarding one Of the features Of Wash
lngton society :
1t may appear TO be a alghtly sensa
Lional statement, but is none tho less
true, that there arc two fashionable
gambling houses, both within Il half a
dozen squares Of the treasury building,
whichare exclusively for the use of
ladies'. One, and perhaps the best fur
nIahcd and most largely freousnted, is
situated on Fourteenth street, while the
other is in the first ward, but few
squares distant. At these places, at
nearly all hours of the day, may be
found richly dressed ladies, connected
with families whose standing is high in
the community, earnestly engaged in
faro, anl stalking their money with an
abandon that wotd excite SURPRISE
Ehc stcrner sex is rigidly excluded, and
the players feel themselves secure from
the intrusion OF watchful fathers or angry
hnsbaE,D., while they arc at the same
time place firm reliance on the silence
o. their fair companions, who, we will
say. arc quite selectand respectable, as
the judgment Of the crafty proprietrcsses
enables them to perceive that the in
discriminate admission Of visitora would
be injurious to their interests

tor Tribune: The five days agony Of
0! registration of voters in Louisiana
ended yesterday. The result is very
encouraging to the opponents Of tho
Black Crook Constitution, tho returns
from the six largest wards in The city
showing a registration of only 025 Black
Crooks against 33Gs whites! That
looks well, and the "trooly loil" or

DIVORCES IN SoUTM CARoLINA.-T

DIVORCES IN SoUT,i CARoL1NA.-Thc
louisville Cowier has the following
paragraph respecting an important
change about being made in tho organic
law Of South Carolina. This is onlv
one OF the many evils growing out of
this monstrous iniquity:
The people Of South Carolina have
ever been remarkable for an exalted
conception Of Tho sacrcdness Of the mar
riage tie. The legislatures Of That State
have uniformly been controlled in their
action by the conviction that facilities
Eor. obtaining divorce are destructive of
the pnfity nd'peacd Of society. The
consequence has been that nota single
divorce was ever granted in South Car
olina. "What God hath joined togeth-
cr, let not man PIT assunderr" is di.
vino prcccps which sho alone, ofall the
States, has observed to The very letter.
In this, asm other respects, The Radicals
havo undertaken to reconstruct the
Palmetto State. Tho so called consti-
tuition, under which it is proposed to
declare the State admitted into tho
Union, contains q provision providing
for divorces.

Last Tuesday, the elections in South
Carolina commenced, and were to close
last night. The question IS upon the
adoption OF tho constitution" just fram-
ed by the black and tan body called in-
to existence under 8. s. S. bills, and the
election OF State officers and members of
Congress. phc white voters ofSouth
Carolina are largely in the minority,
ana OF course tho defeat Of the "consti.
tuition" is very improbable, but with all
the odds against them, our white brcth-
ren there have not wholly yielded to
despair. They put a full ticket in tho
field, headed by Hon. W. d. Porter,
and determined that whatever might be
the result, they would at least ma Ike the
best resistance they could Such II
spirit Of determination is worthy Of all
praise, aud should animate every patri.

a PROUD NAME.--A' writer in" one
of the leading, British Reviews, during
the progress of the war, said the truth
Of history depended upon the dispatches
OF Gen. Robt. E. Lee. AS much us to
say, he did not rrcvaricate, he did not
cx,cnuatc, hc alone was free from cx.
aggcration and misrepresentation. One

GEN Lnm-A correspondent of the
Louisville Courier, wiring from LcX.
ingon, Va, has thought it worth whl,
to deny the slandcrous statement of
Cameron Of the particulars connected
with the tcndrr OF the United States
army to Gen. Lee, wien the war upon
the Southern States was about to be
begun. After reasoning, upon the inhc.
rent and infrrcntial improbability Of
Camcrons story, the writer says, in
italics, "Gen. Lee says the charge is
untrue. a. The denial was altogether un-
necessary. There is something about
Gen. Ice that repcls the thought of dis
honor, that forty thousand Camcrons
could not lasten the slightest suspicion
on him.
What more conclusive evidence is
wanted Of Camcron's Gtlsrhood than the
simple denial Of Robt. e. Leo p There
is samoral grandeur in the thought.
