A GAMBLING ROOM SCENE IN NEW Or
LEANs-AN INQUEST IN A "KENo" Room
--THE GAMES SCARCELY INTERRUPTED.
The New Orleans Picayune, of June 20,
gives the following vivid sketch of
tragic incident in one of the multitude
nous gambling hells, licensed, in the
Crescent City:
About half-past 9 o'clock last night, an
unknown man fell dead in the gambling
house at No. sc St. Charles street. As
usual on Saturday night, the house was
crowded to suffocation. The young and
the old, the rich and the poor, had ga
thered in to spend the earnings of the
week. The light of many brilliant gas
Jet flashed over o crowd of men, earnest
and eager in the passionate excitement
OF the game. Suddenly, tall, dark
looking man from one of the centre
tables, rose from his seat, and walking a
few feet unsteadily, fell back upon the
through body and limbs, and the man
was dead; died from heart disease, or
the excitement of gambling. For sim
gle moment, O stiffness like death fell
upon the crowd, and then some one said
he'd only tainted, and the game went on.
But life was extinct.
Hos dead" some one cried. and then
men rose hastily from their seats and left
the room. The game was stopped, and
II little circle gathered around the dead
man on the floor. The face had grown
waNen; the death-look had settled darkly
around him. 1t was n foreign looking
lacc-an Italian or Spaniard-and in life
had been handsome, but now its rigid
llneaments wore scared expression, as
if the heart had struggled vninly to but
live to get out of that bad place.
Suddenly, all nnprepared, the man was
hurried into the presence of his Maker,
dead, with the gamesters passion fierce
III his heart, with all his evil thoughts
and guilt about him. The lights were
turned low in the darkened room, and
the coroner's jury gathered around the
nameless dead. Below, in the halls, the
rattle of dice. the noise and strife of gam
bling broke sadly on the ear What q
contrast. None seemed to heed the spec
tacle above them, or take warming of the
awful Judgment so suddenly pronounced.
The gnmes went on, and the low voices
of the jury and the witnesses were
scarcely heard in the uproar beneath.
Men could not pause in that eager strife
of hazard.

Saturday MORNING, July 5. 1868.

u sunasasr and ths AEan and Brother.
In reference to paragraph published
in Our paper, OF the 1st inst. concerning
Senator Summers ownership Of negroes,
acquired by the death Of parties in South
Carolina, we have been furnished with
these additional details by gentleman
,sof this city, and are published as entirely
in harmony with the known character OF
this negro worshipper and odious crea-
ture. 49, IA.
Mr.. Sumner having become the sole
owner of these negroes. by the death of
MIR. Ball, determined to offer them for
sale. Amongst them was the body SER
want of Mr.. Ball, an old, faithful and re.
spected negro. The friends and relatives
of the deceased gentleman used every
entreaty that Mr.. Sumner would, if COM
PEELED to make the sale, at least to sell
this faithful old negro and his wife at the
same time, to one and the same person !;
and to the eternal shame and disgrace of
Sumner be it recorded, that he distinctly
and unequivocally refused to comply, al
-Mf
leging that as the wife was unhealthy
and feeble, it would injure the sa!e of the
husband. The circumstances were so re-
volting, so disgusting to the people of
South Carolina, and specially to those of
Charleston, where the affair happened,
that full account of the entire case,
with indignant comments, was published
in the Charleston Courier, over the sig
nature of Mr.. William Bull Pringle-a
gentleman whose name is familiar to
every South Carolinian.
Our informant vouches for the correct
ness Of the above, remembers reading
Mr. Pringle's communication, and refers
to the file of the Courier Office to verify
his statement, if it be in existence.
Mr.. Summers practice is widely at va
rance with his precept. It was scarcely
necessary to report these details, to pre-
sent Mr.. Sumner in a more odions light
than he at present occupies; still, it may
remind Mr.. Sumner, should this meet
his eye, of the difference in his views of
the negro then and now.

NATIONAL BANKS. The New York He
raid notices the late convention of bank
ers ut the st. Nicholas Hotel, at which
delegates from nearly all the national
banks OF the country were present. 1t
says they perfected an organization, and
though they profess to be n voluntary
combination, it may readily be seen that
as soon as any number of national banks
begin to act together ns n unit, the other
banks must come into the organization,
and obey its behests. or be ruled out rs
rats, that are not permitted to partici-
pate In the business and exchanges of
the country. 1t gives figures to show
what power this organization will pos
sess in the land for political or other pnr-
poses, and in the same connection goes
on to exhibit, by the opening address of
Mr.. h. G. Spalding, of Buffalo, the
chairman, what are its professed motives
OF action, which, in few words, means
that the banks mean to save themselves
during the commissions that will attend
the transit of the country from paper
to specie currency. 1t discusses briefly
what may be expected in the future in
connection with the great financial and
political uphoaval it discovers to be ap-
preaching, and says of the national
banks, that they are already obnoxious
to much just complaint. That the ex-
traordinary concessions by which the
Government pays them $4,000. 900 u
year in gold, without service to the conn-
try of any character; their schemes by
which periods of artificial stringency and
relaxation in the money market are pro-
duced for their own profit; the facilities
and stimulus they afford to middlemen
in every branch of trade to monopolize
and carry products, for the purpose of
forestalling consumption and keeping up
prices, and their thousand and one con-
trivances to make the rich richer and the
poor poorer, are working steady change
in the public mind against the present
banking system. The new banking or
ganization is for offensive and defensive
purposes, and will play an important
part In the future political struggles of
the country. Business is king, and the
national banks aim to be the regent of
the land.

PUdILIsTIC MASSACHUSETTS FEMALES.
The New York Herald records the fact
that, not content with woman prize
fight in Boston some time ago, they got
mp prize fight near Springfield the day
before yesterday, which was attended by
800 spectators, ''one.third of whom were
women. 1t says that this affords an
other evidence of tho downward ten
dency of female morality in section of
the country that has plumed itself upon
its Righteousness; that has presumed to
set itself up as the examplar for all that
is chaste, modest, pure and noble in
the feminine character; that has sent
missionaries among the benighted hea-
then for the purpose of proffering the
cup OF grace to their lips and instilling
the sentiments of sanity love and virtue
lno their hearts; that has filled the
school-houses of the South with New
England school-marms, to teach the lit
tie niggers their A, B, C's, and to learn
them for the first time who their Maker
was, as well rs to impress upon their
delicate understandings the now we'll
established axiom that "a. white man is
as good ms niger, if he only behaves
himself" Alas! that it should be so.
Alas! that the sentiments of the noble
hearted matrons Of the revolution-of
the days of the Adamses, the Hancocks,
the Otises-should be obliged to give
way before the Attilan career Of O. batch
of bespectacled old spinsters and burnt
grass widows who are now endeavoriug
to mould the pure thoughts of the yonng
females OF the rising generation into n
hideons mascuinity, and to encourage
them to aspile to the places and to the
perogatiyes and to don the toggery OF
those who, with few honorable exccp-
tions, are entitled to wear the breeches
in this our day. Verify, things are
looking bad for morality in Massachu-
settS.

The Duty OF THE DEMOCRACY, ETC

The Duty OF THE DEMOCRACY, ETC. -
The New York World advises the Demo
Gratis to take advantage of the present
lull in politics to do much energetic
work. It urges that the really effective
work of political party is done be-
tween, rather than during, great politi-
cal campaigns. The party, it affirm,
needs voters, and the only duty of the
hour is to obtain them, and 10 this end
organization is the great means. 1t
counsels, first, organization in every
town; second, the completion of brief
constitution for the government of the
clubs; third, each club should keep itself
in close communication with the Demo
cratic committees of its County and
State. in order to be supplied with docu-
ments, and afford the committees the in
formation they need to make a canvass;
fourth, not too many speeches at club
meetings. but hard work. 1t says:
The plan thus sketched in its out
lines is very simple. A half dozen men
of clear heads and average intellects can
carry it out. tits, too, the only plan by
which the Democratic party can attain
success in the States which hold cleo
tions next fall, and in the elections for
Representatives in Congress in 1870.
Now is the time to begin to carry it out,
while our opponents are demoralized by
the blunders OF administration and the
failure of the policy which they have in
hicted upon the country.

+ Ma. EprroR The snggestion Of 10y
alist," in yesterday Phenip. is the most
appropriate jet made as to the ''celebra-
tion of thesnniversary of our national
Independence. The ''nation," twhat-
ever that misnoner means,) was created
by Southern wisdom, valor and virtue,
but by tremendous error and fatal
generosity. the founders gave to the
''saints of Plymouth" an interest in the
estate OF liberty. These saints, finding
it paying concern, soon determined to
get possession of the whole. With the
presidency of the beaver, the subtlety of
the serpent, and the fierce and ghastly
cunning of the wolf, they have achieved
their purpose. They have seized our in
heritnnce and driven us into the wilder
ness. Let them, on the birthday of
American liberty, shout their ju6ilate
over the stolen birth-right and blessing,
while we, in humiliation, fasting and
prayer. cry out only, "Our Father, hast
thou only one blessing?" After the
mighty things our fathers did in the first
days to be free, and the mightier things
we did in the later days to keep our free
dom, why should we not mourn continu-
ally, that God has allowed the vultures
and jackalls to fill unpleasant and sacred
places? Can we rejoice that ever that
day was when we see whnt We are now?
Dare we celebrate, under the auspices of
Grant, the gift of Washington? Under
the auspices Of Scott, the gift of Rut-
ledge? Oh, sacred shades, pardon this
proclamation of thy names!
Let the filthy vermin who have drifted
on our shores from the receding wave of
war, go to "Latta's grove, and celebrate
the anniversary of national indepen-
dence, under the auspices of the Court
of Probate. In that grove, South Caro-
linians have heard the voices of Calhoun,
Hayne, McDufie, Harper, Preston, Ell
moro, Warren Davis, Petigru, Legare,
Butler, and their peers. If the gentle
myth be true that trees have sentient
beings dwelling in them, how will the
soft Dryades be startled by the clangor
in Columbia grove of the Yankee
Post Band" strumming its pseans in ap-
plause of SCOTT, Nagle, Hoge and Wiggl
Let these and our late slaves-their asso-
ciates, but infinitely their superiors
celebrate the fourth of Jnly wherever
they choose. but let US shut our doors,
go into our closets, and saying, ooh, ye
sons of men, how long will ye turn our
glory into shame?" and then turn our.
selves to the God of our Fathers. pray
ing thus. "How long wilt thou forget me,
oh Lord? Forever? How long wilt thou
hide thy fnce from me? How long shall
1 take counsel in my soul, having sorrow
in my heart daily? How long shall my
enemy be exalted over me? Oh, Lord
God, to whom vengeance belongeth F.;
oh, God, to whom vengeance bolongeth,
shew thyselfp'
Such should be the mode in which the
sons and daughters of Carolina may cele-
brate the fourth of July.
