Gambling.

Apropos with what we have here
rofore advanced on this subject comes
the following extract from late
message of Gov. Washburn, of v is
consin, in which he recommends the
adoption of law to prohibit gift
concerts, rati'cs and other abomina-
tions Of like ilk. lie SAYS:
"Thc laws of the State applicable
to the professional gamblers are
doubtless all Sufficient, and only re-
culrc 10 be enforced. But some laws
seem to be required to break up the
school where gamblers arc made.
These are everywhere. Evcn the
church, unwittinglv, no doubt, is
sometimes found DONG the work OF
the devil. Glit concerts, gift cutter
pri,cs, and raiilcs, sometimes in aid
OF religious or charitable objects, but
often tar les, worthy objects, lottcr-
les, pr!zc-packagcs, ETC., are all de-
vices 70 obtain money without val
nc received. Nothing is 50 democrat
ling or Intoxicating, particularly to
the young, a. the acquisition Of mon
ey or property without labor. Ii
you can devise some law to break ul)
these practices and bring them into
dlscrcdit, YOU will deserve the thanks
OF all good people,"

have ever read IS 4 letter written by
L. H. Fitzhugh, one of the door,
keepers of the present House Of
Representatives, to friend in Tex

that his official position is the most
important: in the government and
that it clothes him with?power almost
imperial. He tells. his friend that

his equal; and boasts Of the manner
in which he is crowded by.applicants
