GAMBLING SCENE IN DENVER cor.
respondent of the San Francisco Chronicle in
letter from Denver, Colorado, October 18th.
describes gambling hell in that place ia the
following manner:
Arriving at Denver, we put up at the Broad
well House, said to be the best in town God
help the guests at the balance of thcm), and
found friend who volunteered TO show Us
around town. The first place we found was
Cricket Hail. at which was being given what
purported to be minstrel show Among the
performers were 4 number of well known San
Franciscans In the Hall adjoining was the
gambling saloon. Every species of gambling
was here spread out to the gaze of visitors. in
Its most winning aspect. All the games that
the ingenuity OF ages had invented could here
be found in unauthorized professionalism.

hend could have dreamed of Yet the place il
conducted like banking institution; clerks
being busily engaged, from the opening to the
close, in an adjoining Office; checks are draw.

The scene reminds me very forcibly of "Auld
Lang Syne," when the old FL Dorado was the
grand institution of the day and nuggets were
spread out as large as mans head on almost
every table.

Why LACE Is CosTLY-The manufacture
OF lace is carried to its highest perfection in
Belgium. The finest specimen of Brussels lace
IS go complicated as to require the labor of no
less than seven persons on one piece. and each
operator is employed at distinct features of the
work. The thread used 10 of exquisite fine.
ness, and is spun in dark, underground rooms.
where it is sufficiently moist to prevent the
thread from separating. 1t is so delicate as to
be scarcely discernible, and the room is so ar.
ranged that all the light admitted shall fall up-
on the work. 1t ia such material that renders
the genuine Brussels ground so costly. On n
piece of Valencennes not two inches wide.
from two to three hundred bobbins are some.
Times used, and tor the larger width az many
as eight hundred on the same pillow. The
most valuable Valenciennes is determined by
the number Of times the bobbins have been
twisted in making the ground; the more fire..
quent the twists the clearer and more beauti.
ful the lace. Belgium annually sells of this
lace alone to the value of over four millions of
dollars. Chantilly lace is always black, and is
used chiefly for wells and flouBces ., Tt is very
fne, and is extensively worn. Mechlin lace "a
made at Mechlin, Antwerp and other places.

The XVIII Amendment.

The NVth Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States has been ratified by the
required number OF States, and the declara-
tion that 'qhe right of citizens OF the United
Estates shall not he denied or abridged by
'sthe United States or by any State, on ac-
"count Of race, color or previous condition OF
'.servitude; and that the Congress shall have
''powert to enforce this article by appropriate
Legislation" will, Us soon as the official an
nounccment is made, stand as part Of the
Federal Constitution. The States which
have adopted the amendment are as follows:
Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida,
Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia
and Wisconsin.
There are thirty seven States in the Union,
and twenty-eight have voted for the amend
ment. Of these twenty-eight, nine are
Southern reconstructed States. Another,
Texas, will make ten Of this kind of votes.
If these ten States had gone against the
amendment, as they would have done had
they been free to choose the required three
fourths could not have been obtained. Tie
vote of New York is counted in the vote in
favor of the amendment, ;lS the right OF that
State To- reverse is action is not admitted by
the dominant party. And, in any event,
Nebraska and Texas would more than make
up the requisite number.
The Inconsistency Of the reconstruction
policy, as well as its unconstitutionalty,
need not be pointed out again in these col
umns. The reconstructed States had to vote
for the new constitutional amendments as
condition of restoration to the Union. Ii
they were not in the Union, what was tne
value OF their ratification? If they were in
the Union, what becomes of the validity of
the reconstruction laws? But it is useless
to talk OF these things now. Impartial suf-
frage is fastened upon the people OF the
United States, and the North must do what
the South is dong-make the best of the
situation. We, ourselves, have no fear of
the result. With the enfranchiScment of the
slaves, the completion cf reconstruction
and the ratification Of the NIFth and NFth
amendments, the work of the Radical party
is done. They must now take the back
seats. They must make way for the party
of honesty, of justice, Of free trade, of low
taxation.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1870-02-07
The Coming Party.

We think that we may fairly claim that
the general policy sketched out by THE News,
as that most likely to secure the defeat OF
the Radical officials in the approaching car
vass, must command the support of the press
and the sympathy OF the people OF the State.
1t was not expected that our State con-
temporaries would eagerly declare in so
many words their approval OF the whole
platform of the coming party, as laid down
by this paper. But without saying that they
were ready to stand shoulder to shoulder
with THE News in the impending strife, our
contemporaries have, in their own way, as
sured the people that there is only one way
to success, and that way is the adoption OF
a broad liberal and comprehensive policy,
uniting the honest OF all classes and parties
in common hostility to official andpcrsonal
corruption This is all that we aSk-thls is
all that THE NEWS demands. We insist
upon full and frank recognition OF the civil
and political rights Of the negro; we insist
unon q submission to the inevitable necessi-
ties of the political situation. And we pro-
pose TO go before the whole people, white
and colored, as the party of honest govern
ment and equal rghts-as the friends OF low
taxation-as the friends OF the workingman-
as the supporters and advocates of indus
trial activity-as the persistent opponents Of
monopolies and class legislation-as party
pledged to represent faithfully and equally
the wants, rights and necessities Of all classes
and all conditions of mcR. This is the
whole platform Of THE NEWS and we have
yet to meet with one State press which re-
fuses to agree to these propositions, or which
has failed, IN one way or another, to enun-
ciate and defend them.
Upon one subject there is, however, much
difference OF opinion. 1t seems to be the
conviction that it would be unwise to call
the State party of the future the DEMOCRATIC
party, and that it would be best 10 style it
simply PEOPLES party, or OPPOSITION
party-anything but RADICAL party. Now,
for mere names, in this matter OF re-
deeming the State, we do not care q jot.
The principles, and not the name OF the
party; the temper of the weapon, not the
mark of the maker; will give US victory or
defeat. Upon the platform laid down in
these columns all good and true men should
be able to stand. And if any OF our people,
white or colored, are repelled by an old party
name, it is high time TO choose a new name
acAich shall hare no past. The truth is, we
cannot afford to lose votes for the sake Ct
abstract ideas This contest with dishon-
est government, and corrupt officials, is a
business question: question of bread and
meat, of life and death And we must con-
duct the canvass in practical and business
like manner. Having chosen broal and
liberal policy, we must use our weapons as
best we may, turning 10 good account all
the power and strength that justice and fair
dealing shall give US.

CORGO SUGAR AND REFINED D
- SYRUP.

We would invite the attention OF Planters to
the consideration of some u; the advantages in
the cultivation OF S0RG0 as q Crop which are,
the small amount Of labor; the hardy character
of the plant In its ability to endure, without ma
tcral injury, both drought and wet; Its freedom
from the attack OF worms; its early maturing,
and the fact that the Seed and every part Of the
plant is Of great value.
In consequence .. the imperfect method
hitherto adopted In preparing the Juice OF this
Cane, there has arisen prejudice, and the Delel
that Sugar could not be produced, but only very
inferior Syrup. But by the discovery OF the
Southern Process. these opinions have been COM
pletely reversed in tile minds OF all those who
have examined aud tested this Process. as they
realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the
hest Chemical SyrupS Of the fchncrlcS: Is pro-
ducctl, hut also Sugar equal to the best New Or.
