$40 600 ON A PAIR OF DEUOEs.

From the Cincinnati Commercial
1t was q pleasant fall night in Savan-
nah, Ga, when a party OF five gentle.
men met BY arrangement in one OF
the private parlors of the See vern
House to have q little ''draw," which,
by the aforesaid agreement, was to be
no child's play. but q game for all that
was iu it. Three of the gentlemen
were large cotton merchants; one was
an extensive manufacturer of fertilizers
and the third was q genial hotel pro-
prietOr, who. was blessed with . super
abundance OF wealth. The whole five
we're "so.id men," whose bank checks
were good for any amount, and often
during the game these same were piled
up when all ready money and the iver-
les were staked on q hand. 2
One of the players, generally a hard
man to beat on account OF his perfect
GOODNESS and unbounded pluck. seemed
to be unusually unlucky on this occasion.
and before the game had become fairly
''hot'' he was loser something over &c.
600. Biding his time. the ''MaJor"
waited until several stiff ''antes" had
been made, and when il came his turn
to put up he laughingly remarked,
Gentlemen. this game is going a little
'slows I'll make it $1,000 to play"
Three Of the others saw it, and when
his turn came the Major raised the blind
$1,OOO.- This was also 'tseen" by the
others. and on the draw for cards, he
drew one card for a flush and made q
pair of deuces second nan drew three
cards. Each OF the others bet a "chip,"
and the Major bet $4,000. The second
and third men dropped. but the fourth.

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.

The Economist, of Boston, the best
monetary journal. in tins country,
gives us the following as the results
of the spoils system of government:
All persons under government pawn
and about Boston have. during the
past month, received circulars re.
questing them TO contribute to the
funds of the congressional Campaign
Committee not less thana stated per.
ceBtage of their salary. All other
government officers in the couatry
have been, or will sOOn be. treated to
the same kind of documents. The
circular is 80 worded a. to leave the
recipient uniformed upon the vital
point OF the penalty for negligence.
This slight omission is the strorg
point in the paper. We doubt II any
OF the Boston custom house ~cficials
will be brave enough 10 face the pos
sible removal, which might result
from a refusal to comply with the re-
quest. The act ia u which should
be bounded by all respectable people.
1t is simply blackmail. If these Of
ticers have been paid extraordinary
wages. to whom are we to. look for
the fault, If not to congressman, and
the party winch carries thr. ugh the
appropriations which are to pay these
officers? And the question would
naturally ceme-Why were these men
given such large salariesp For the
purpose of perpetuating a certain
faction, and that faction the present
majority :
/ The bad effect Of such a course on
trade, on every branch of industry, az
well rs on politics. is easily seeh. On
the other hand, if these officers are
paid only in proportion to the mark
1T value OF their labor, this tax is an
imposition which Is resolved to them
INTO the alternative of taking a half
loaf or none. The day is not far dis.
tant when the people will learn to ap.
preciate the tricks of these schemers,
and break up the political machines,
The government of this country was
Intended for the benefit of the peo.
pie, and the offices were created for
the good Of the public, aud not for
the advantages of political parties.

THE ADDRESS.

HaG -
To tho Democrats of the Fifth Con-
gressionalD District of the state of Mis-
souri,: Having appointed the I'd day
of August. 1882, as the time for hold
ing a%sconventiOlf to nominate q candi-
date for congress-, You committee
bag leave to offer a few suggestions
! concerniig that event "A congress.
iOnal election is an OCCASION of high
est Importance andzone i'm which the
whole country is. greatly interested.
as the entire policy OF our govern
ment, and our political destiny even
may depend upon a single vote in con-
gress.
Believing as we do, that our coun-
try's welfare depends upon the mnin-
%tenance of democratic principles. we
conclude that the. election of a pure,
honest democrat 10 congress from our
district is our most sacred, patriotic
duty. All other political action. is
secondary to this in Importance. De-
feat in local matters chiefly affects
that section whose local jealousies
and local discords may OCCASION it,
but defeat in this matter equally af.
tects every member of our party in
all of the Union. Every democrat has
a vital interest in the election, and in
3 matter of sucn universal concern has
q right to demand of US that we sink
out of sight u local aud personal
differences aud use our greatest ex-
ertions for the success of our common
Cause
|, We would, therefore, urge you to
enter upon this canvass with the full
determination to succeed. In the &C.
complishment of our desire we know
from past experience that the first
and greatest consideration is harIno-
ny. Without harmony, we may as
well acknowledge defeat in the out
set; with it we are invincible. Let
factions and leaders of factions re-
member. that while they may, by un-
compromising war, defeat their oppo-
nents in their own organization, yet
that defeat is none the less their own
ruin, and all internal strife but
inures to the benefit of their common
rival for political favor. If we are
true in u professions of 'Icmocray,
this last. consideration should quell
all discussions. "Let the dead past
bury it's dead" and let us as a party,
put on Our whole armor, and, catch
ing q now inspiration of patriotic
devotion, as giants filed with new
wine, push forward to victory.
Let not candidates allow personal
ambition to goad them on to meas
nres detrimental to party unity, aud
let the democracy not forget that the
candidate who evinces the most self

As expressing the decision of the
committee regarding proxies and al.
ternates, the following resolutions
were adopted
Whereas, 1t appears to the satisfac-
ton of this committee that proxies
In conventions often tend to subvert
the will Of the people; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the democratic CEN
trail committee of the fifth congress-
ional district recommend that no
proxies be allowed in the congress
ional convention of this district. That
one alternate be elected to each dele
gate.
Resolved further, That the secre-
tary Of the county conventions furn-
fish to the delegates to the congress-
ionsl convention certificates. together
with a certified list of alternates
elected at their respective conven-
tions.
On motion the following address to
the democratic voters of the fifth dis
trlct was then made, aud the CON-
mittec adjourned subject to the call
OF the chairman:
