BETTING ON ELECTIONS.

The Sacramento Union of the 18th pub
fishes an interesting decision Of the Supreme
Court Of California on betting on elections.
The case Was that Of johnson vs.. Ruessell
appealed from one of the district courts.
Johnson, plaintiff, made several bets on the
Presidential election last September, Rus.
sell was the stakeholder. Plaintiff allowed
the stakes to rest without demanding the
withdrawal Of his own or any part OF the
same I'LL the 23d Of November, when, from
the published election returns, it became
certain that he had lost his money. Then
he sent the stakeholder, Russell, a written
notice not to pay the money or any part
of it over TO the winner, and that II he dld
plaintitf would hold the stakeholder respon-
sible for his part of the stakes. Russell
did pay the money to the winner, and hence
this suit The court decide-Sanderson
writing the opinion-hrst, that gambling on
popular elections is against public policy,
and therefore illegal; second, that money
wagered may be recovered at law II the
party who staked it makes demand for the
same before the event on which he wagered
has been decided; third, that II the better
allows his stakes TO remain IN the stake
holders hands, without any demand for il
return until the event has been deed
ed, he cannot then come into Court and SUI
for its recovery. This was what the plaintiff
did in the case decided. He waited ant
stood upon the laws of honor till he toun
he had lost, and then he appealed from ID
laws of honor to the laws of the land. In
Court was unanimously of opinion that I
allow him this appeal would beto encourar
fraud. They reatfrm the dictum OF tn
Court of Errors of New York, in Nicche
Va. Yates, as the law of California whlG
was that "either party might disaftrm u
wager and recover his money OF the stak
holder at any time before the haPpenin
of the event upon which the wager wa
made: but that the looser could not recoV
of the stakeholder after the event had ha
nened and he had lost his money-that
that case, as TO him, the wager had becou
an executed contract, and his repentan
had come to late The conclusion OF
opinion is that, "after tho money has be,
lost and won, neither party ought 70

publishing business. The capital Is hxed al
100000, divided into shares OF sio' only
one vote being allowed to each shareholder,

1.-THE IMPERIALIST.

For the first time in the history of
the United States. an American jour-
inal dares to proclaim as false and per-
nieious in their. influence. the Demo-
cratic dogmas of popular sovereign
ty' and equality and TO demand that
on the ruins of this unfortunate Re-
public shall be reared the firm and
| substantial structure of an EMPIRE.
"The creed of The Imperidlist is
revolutionary; its mission to prepare
the mind of the American people for
the revolution that has already begun
throughout the country.
"The conductors of this journal be-
lieve Democracy to be failure
Though theoretically plausible, in its
practical workings 1t has been found
totally inadequate to the wants of the
American people.
:" We believe that the national faith,
If left in the keeping os the populace.
will be sullied by the sure repudiation
of the national debt, and that an
IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT CAN
ALONE PROTECT THE RIGHTS
OF NATIONAL CREDITORS.
"We believe that an Imperial Gov
ernment, in its paternal relation to the
people, will care equally for all citi-
zens, and, while guaranteeing security
to the rights of capital, will jealousy
protect the interests of the industrial
classes.
We believe that the republic means
corruption, insecurity to
person and property, robbery of the 4
public creditors, and civil. war; that
the EMPIRE means law, order, security,
public faith and peace. r.-, 7gs 81 b;
"This creed The Impe,aazist will
advocate earnestly, fearlessly, and
without compromise, and many will
find in it the open expression of con-
yictions and opinions long held and
cherished in secret. Its columns will
be free from the low vulgarisms which
have heretofore disgraced American
and in the discussion of
political and social questions will
unite the high tone and thorough cnl-
ture of the English weekly press, with
the more popular features of. the best
literature of the day. %, ..,, II
