Recent Order.
CHICAGO, July 22.--1here was practi-
cally no gambling in Chicago at little
after midnight last night. The Chief Of
Police had ordered all the gambling houses
closed, and there is no doubt that there
came nearer being no gambling at the
time mentioned than at any former period
for years. Wen known gamblers said
that supt. Doyle sent for one Of the pro-
prietOrs OF each Of the gaming houses In
the city to meet him during the evening.
He told them that They must close their
houses that night, and keep them closed.
A FAIR WARNING.
He had no Wish 10 destroy their furni-
filre, but places that tailed TO comply
promptly and fully with his command
would be raided and despOiled of every
vestige Of property IL contained. The
gamblers, returning 10 their places, gave
orders to close The rooms, and, telling their
employees what had transpired, paid their
salaries and discharged, them. This is the
first time that the proprietors Of gambling
houses in Chicago ever discharged their
helm.

TARIFF EMISSIONS.
Secretary Manning Addresses Another
Letter to the Importers.

WASHINGTON, July %. - Secretary
Manning has addressed the following
letter to importers, asking their views as
to the feasibility of simplifying the tariff :
Investigations OF the methods of entry aud
appraisement of imported merchandise have
shown that the tariff laws are largely evaded
by differentiation where the duties are
levied ad vslorem. The remedy suggested
for this evil is the adoption Of specific duties.
with view Of obtaining information on this
subject which may be useful to Congress In
fiscal legislation and serve rs an additional
improvement OF the customs revenue system,
il is deemed proper To ask advice Of mer-
chants whose business may be affected by
tariff legislation and whose Just interests, AS
well rs those of the government, are depend
ent upon honest and efficient administration
OF the tariff laws.

The logic of political tendencies is already
apparent in n studied refinement of phrases DIS
cernble in the diplomatic correspondence OF the
State Department Secretary Bayard In MS
letter 10 the Colombian Minister, published TINS
week. dwells with ostentatious fervor upon the
fact that the United States Government could
not maintain its original position to the effect
that the Confederate cruisers were pirates or
privateers; and in speaking OF the Southern
rebellion he uses the smooth phrase, " the civil
war" Naturally, the Secretary finds it neces-
sary to be careful in his language when he has
recruited the diplomatic service with Conieder-
ate brigadiers and Northern Copperheads. AS
this is a Democratic Administration placed IN
power mainly by the States recently in re-
bellion. the Secretary of State respects the
sensitiveness of the new diplomatic service ana
ayoids irritating Southern veterans by harsh
re rerences to the lost cause. The EUeniRg Post
ought to be equally considerate in allowing MI.

This gives an accumulation and vigor to mis-
virtuous Indignation which, it may be proper TO
add, not seldom Imparts blueness to the sur
rounding atmosphere where he sojOurns.
He was warned, however. If he gave due at
tention to the perusal of THE TRIBUNE, during
the campaign, he must many times have had
borne in upon his mind the conviction that
candidate who could get elected by seeming
proteclionist in New ork and New Jersey, and
free trader in Kentucky and Indiana must
inevitably disappont somebody most griev-
ously, and that he was far more likely to disap-
point distant and Democratic Kentucky than
nearby and doubtful New-York. If this
never occurred to Mr.. Watterson, his natural
perspicacity for once deserted him, in his in
temperate zeal to elect anything under the sun
labelled Democratic. Let him console himself.
