The Gamblers.
The gamblers are having a bad
time of it in New York. The law
against pool selling is beng rigidly
enforced, and Senator Morrisey, Mr..
Tilden's friend, has more ed his estab
lishment to Jersey City, just across
the river, and the others have follow

Of the ferries; for that part of the
gambling fraternity whose business is
betting on horses and base ball, go
over every night And, as the Jersy-
ties are attempting to put their law in
force, the booksellers have fitted up
barges, which they anchor out in the
stream, beyond the jurisdiction of
States; and therein they not only sell
pools, but they indulge in faro and
similar pursuits. The law seems
powerless to prevent men from max
ing fools of themselves when they get
their heads set in that direction.
END OF TilclenisIn.
Tiden has announced that he viii
not contest the claim of President
Hayes to his office, 'because it would
be likely to drench the country in
gore" The fact is, the old man has
had the best lawyers of the country
at work ever since the decision
against him, to ascertain if there was
not some hold through which he might
crawl into The Presidency Last week
they announced to him that Hayes's
claim was impregnabe, and that he
might as well throw up the sponge.
And he does it tearfully; but, Tiiden-
like, tries to make some capital in the
doing Of it, If it cost the lives of
fifty thousand men to get into the
Presidency, Tilden would have sacri-
feed them without a wink. The
country is to be congratulated that
the law puts the position in the hands
of the right men. Tilden's expenses
or someth ing over year and half
have averaged over $4,000 day He
has bled freely, and the host of impe-
cunious politicians are sorry that he
has finally abandoned the contest. As
enormous as is the amount he has
spent, the old man has plenty lett.
Railroad wrecking has been proht-
able business TO him.
| The Weathei.
The weather is very cold and dis
agreeable; following SO closely upon
the extreme heat of last week, has
made great deal of sickness.
