DR.. Tnlmnge on Gambling.

The interesting, instructive, aud eloquent
sermon of DR.. Talmage, published in the Ma.
TloNAL REPUBLICAN OF yesterday, Is, prob
ably, the most just and severe attack against
gambling ever written. 1t must engage
and startle the attention Of every reader.
Especially is II powerful in connection
with our own city. Despite all laws, hu-
man aud divine, despite the efforts of our
police, the awful vice Of gambling holds
high its naughty head; from the iIlumin-
ated windows Of its gorgeous palaces mocks
virtue; with It's impious hands, constantly
repleuished, casts curses over this cOmnu-
nifty.
Not so much is the devastating evil the
work Of bur citizens, as OF the thousands
of strangers from all portions of the country,
and from every quarter Of the world, who
resort hither particularly during the con-
grGssional season, Away from their homes,
away from the restraining influences of
wives, families, friends, and old observing
ueghbors, these visitors become more or
less reckless, No one knows them here,
they know no one, and consequently are
free-perllously, If not fatally free.
But terrible as iS the injury to them
selves, horrible as is the wrong against
morality and religion, whitening and blast.
ing as is the general result, this is not all,
We, the dwelers Of the metropolis, are
outraged. Our sons, perhaps great part,
II not the most, OF our male inhabitants are
endangered, and, II they fall, with them
fall entire families.
Whatever might law may employ let It bS
called forth; fearlessly and without regard
to rank or wealth let it be exerted 10 any
extent to uproot, to utterly annIhilate this
pOrtentous evil.
The following question of the eloquent
divine should cause every one to pause aud
ponder on the immensIty Of the evil por-
tmyed

The simple truth about Mr.. Tucker and

resiized that he had lost his grip. Being
iree-trader aud too honest to adapt his
views to the change OF sentiment in the dis

We notice with sincere satisfaction that
religious topics are largely engaging the at
tention Of Democratic editors in Virginia,
North Carolina, aud Indiana. This is as /
should be. Let these afflicted brethren give
their gigantic, but badly sprained intellects
TO the study Of sacred themes. Many
writers offer them consolation, For in
stance ST. Paul comes to their relief with
the remark that mo chastisement for the
present seemeth joyous, but grleyous,
nevertheless afterward it worketh the
peaceable fruits of righteousness"

THE Old North state can be made reliably

IN reply to an inquiry as to the cause of
his defeat, Mr. Morrison telegraphed to the

that 1t was because Of "the tin-plate ennis

which he alleges. The other is that Mr..
Hewitt "ialsely represented him as stand

Mr., Morrison ought to select one Of these
reasons and drop the other; it matters little

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: In your issue

of Judge Pcckham in New York. Now, hap.

younger Peckham to he district attorney and

judge. The friends of Gov. Hill try to make 1t
appear that Gov. Hill controlled the knights

rob President Cleveland and his administration
of credit belonging to the latter. But the
truth Is Citizen Strong was sent tor through the

York and Brooklyn and visited the master
workmen and the assemblies thereof. The re-
suit shows for itself. Judge Peckhnm's largest
votes were poled where Mr.. Strong did his

that the administration was at work for Peck
