FARO S FOLLOWERS.
Something About Those Who Gambol
on the Green.
Poor Sam Hoyle! Ills story affords an
additional chapter to a history of the ruin
of thousands who have chine to the direst
of agony by pandering to a passion for
gambling. He was the tax-collector of
Fulton county. For years he has been
entrusted with the duty of handling fhe
hard-earned tax-money of the people of
that county. His frank, open face, his
heart bulging with bigness, his ostensibly
correct walks in life inspired a confidence
with the people in Fulton county that
kept him in one of the most important
offices within the gift of his county peo
ple. In the Constitution of a few days
since we read the news that Sam Hoyle
had suddenly disappeared and an account
standing against him of $28,000. Twen
ty-eight thousand dollars of the people’s
money ! The cause of this violation of
trust requires no skilled detective’s hand
to bring to light. It stands out in pal
pable plainness. He gambled. He was
not one in an army of men in our state’s
metropolis who, as soon as a day’s work
is done, carry its earnings, belonging se
credly to dependence, and give it “pike”-
ingly to the flashing and gay gambolier
who presides at the faro hank. He was a
partner of the house. His money, or
rather the money of the people he han
dled, was the capital stock of faro hanks.
The men who conduct faro banks are lost
to all self-respect, all honor and sense of
shame, and it is but natural in their greed
of gain they should use all means to in
crease their exchequer. It is plain to the
most casual eye that these gentlemen (?)
who operated on Sam’s trust were not
long in conducting an operation that con
veyed his money into their cursed coffers.
Hence the cause of Sam Hoyl’s “skip”
from a community in which he has spent
the greater portion, if not all, of his
young life. He is now an outcast, a man
whose financial defalcations, though lov
ing friends may make gpod, will never
look up again. Branded as never Cain
was.
While on this subject of gaming we are
led into pursuing it further. In a short
experience of daily newspaper duty in
Atlanta the writer saw it in all its hor
rors. Almost the first item we were call
ed upon to w r rite up was the case of an
army officer who had just drawn nearly
two hundred dollars. It was his purpose
to use this money in the purchase of a
ticket for his wife and children to go to
tlieir home in the east. He went into a
ti faro hank and before nightfall a pistol
bullet sent by his owl hand ended his
existence and the charity of brother offi
cers sent his wife a widow to hei eastern
home. Lately the columns of the Con
stitution contained an account of the sui
cide of a German butcher, cause traced
to a faro bank. A few months ago the
same paper noticed the disappearance of
a man who had been entrusted with two
thousand dollars by a prominent firm in
Atlanta with which to buy cotton. That
man lost the last dollar of that money at
a faro bank, and reeling from the table
exclaimed with horrible dramatic pathos,
“I am a ruined man!” We have seen
during the session of the legislature the
representatives of the people of Georgia
staking the miserable four dollars a day
that they seem to regard with so much
contempt on the “ace coppered.” These,
the law-makers! In the circle around the
green cloth were employees of business
houses, handling money of proprietors,
representatives of the legal profession,
members of the press, and, in fact, follow
ers of almost every vocation in life that
would yield “two whites and a splitter.”
Gaming is universal, of all climes and
all ages. It is said that no laws can erad
icate it, no punishment prevent it. The
least civilized of the human race has its
methods of gratifying this desire. The
savage of interior Africa, who stakes his
cattle upon the game of odd and even
with his fingers, yields to the same pas
sion that leads the elegant Parisian into
staking his Napoleons upon the turn of
the roulette wheel. Few understand how
wide spread and deep rooted is this evil
in our community. Games of chance are
by no means confined to public gaming
houses, but in cities extend to the family
fire-side and counting room. Here the
evil begins—the desire is implanted and
nourished, and attains full growth in
those gambling hells which exist in our
cities in defiance of law and public senti
ment. The financial history of each year
is blotted with the record of the victims
of these resorts. They are the dark spots
that fester in our business centres, and
send out their baneful influence close to
our homes. From their portals daily
turn the footsteps of forgers, embezzlers
and defaulters—victims of this vice. Their
iruit is ruin, disgrace and suicide. What
care the keepers of these places? Do they
not fill their pockets with gain ? Do they
sleep more lightly because they are fat
tening upon ruined homes?
“How can these horrid places exist and
run in broad day light in our cities?”
asks lie who is what the profession would
call in their slang a “gill.” Stand at the
entrance of one of these places in Atlanta
and you will see a man dressed as a po
liceman, or custodian of the law, smile
and exchange a pleasant howdy with the
diamond bedazzled gambler just before he
goes to take up and lodge in the city’s
station house a poor unfortunate who has
grown boisterous because of the whisky
and rascality dealt out by this smirking
gambler while the poor man* was losing
his pitiful all. If you were to ask even a
high-toned worthy business man of the
city, who probably stands high in the
church, this question, he would laugh in
your face, and tell you that snch institu
tions w ere necessary to a town’s prosper
ity, “makes money plentiful and greasy”
he would say.
Come wit4*us for a short visit to one of
these places. We are no “roper,” but
let’s take a look at the “tiger” in his den.
We go in a place generally next to a glit
tering bar-room, the side-door at which
we enter from the street having the eu
phoneous shingle out, “Club Room.” —
We find ourselves before a plain door
with a sliding panel. We ring a bell and
in a few moments a face appears at the
panel and looks out at us. If satisfied
with our aspect, the door is opened and
we are ushered into first a passage—then a
lighted room, upon the handsome Garpet
of which our feet fall and make no noise,”
and behold, we are in the sanctum of the
“game.” At one end of the room is the
table and the “lay out,” around it are
gathered the players. Among these we
see the merchant and the merchant’s
clerk—all professions and all ages—laugh
ing faces of the new comers, eager faces
of the “old hands,” intent faces of the
earnest players—despairing faces of those
who have staked honor and reputation
against the turn of a card. Opposite
them are the stolid and immobile counte
nances of the proprietor in the “look out”
chair, and the dealer in a cushioned chair
behind the table, and in strong contrast
with these is the smirk and smile, the
insinuating and bland appearance of the
“roper in,” a character whom the bank
pays and supports to go out into the high
ways and by-ways for victims. He goes
from one to another, jesting and familiar,
offering drink to the reluctant player and
encouragement to the loser. The bar is ac
cessible with its mulatto waiter, and glit
tering paraphernalia. Toilet tables and
mirrors are at hand and everything is
furnished that may please the senses and
conceal the real purposes of the place.
A trap well bated—a weh into the meshes
of which the spider weaves the bodies and
souls of his unwary victims. Imagine all
the surroundings that can please the eye—
the table with its glittering display of
enameled cards, the “dealer” behind
with his silver box of cards, the array of
ivory checks, the tempting and constant
passsing of money to and fro, and you
have the prominent features of the
game.
These enameled cards are the fifty-two
of the playing pack, a suit, ace, duce,
tray, four, five, etc., arranged in rows
upon the surface of the table, upon which
the betters place their money. The deal
er has before him a silver box of cards,
which he has previously shuffled. As he
draws these off from the top, one by one,
the players bet upon the cards upon the
surface of the table called the “lay out,”
as to the order in which the dealer’s cards
will come from the box—to win or to
lose. The supposable per centage of the
game Is in what are called “splits” i. e.
when two cards of the same face come
out in succession. But the game is sel
dom played fairly. The dealer always
has the game under his control. The
pack of cards enclosed in the silver case
is prepared with uneven edges, not per
ceptible to the ej e; but which the trained
and deft finger of the dealer can detect so
that he can make the cards win or lose
according to his will. Then there is said
to be boxes with, secret springs. None
but the most expert gamblers can note
these operations of the dealer, and fre
quently even they are deceived. What
hope then for the Neophite? All that is
necessary is to beguile the unwary, or
the infatuated into these dens to “pluck
them.”
We beg the pardon of our readers for
this somewhat lengthy discourse, which
they, in all probability, care nothing
about. Our honest county people work
hard from day to night and never think
of gambling, but they do go to town
some time. We can do no more than to
warn all against these places. The fruit
is bitter when plucked.
THE YAZOO FRAUD AGAIN.
On the 10th day of January, 1795, the
following agreement was made and signed
(the bill passed the senate on January
3rd, 1795, you will remember) by Jacob
Walburger, William Longstreet, Wade
Hampton, James Gunn, (United States

priating part of the unlocated territory of this
state, for the payment of the late state troops and

ritory thereof for the protection and support of
the frontiers of this state and for other purposes.

In our next issue we will give the
names of those who received certificates,
and you will find the names of the legis

vast domain containing nearly forty mil
lions of acres, was trafficked off’ to these
land pirates for a mere song, and they
were to get it by corrupt votes, and then
retail it out at V/ s cents per acre, to any
body who would pay that price for a
certificate, while the principal members
of the legislature got 75,000 acres, 56,000
acres, as some as high as 112,000 acres for
their votes. In our next we will
give the names of the members of the
legislature who voted for this bill, to give
this landed principality into the hands
of James Gunn (U. S. senator), M. Mc-

NUMBER 37.
GEORGIA AT CINCINNATI.
The Bloody £h%sm Spanned by £imiu
nati’s Railroad.
Cincinnati Gazette.
In ottler to ascertain tlie feeling of the
southern people as to the Cincinnati
Southern railroad, and to obtain informa
tion about the state of their several lo
calities, etc., the reporter accompanying
the first train interviewed a number of
prominent and representative Southern
ers. In every case the most unbounded
appreciation of the hospitality shown
them was expressed, and with a unity of
sentiment all declared tfiat the south was
earnest in the desire to shake hands over
the “bloody chasm,” and to drop sec
tional animosity, in order that peace and
fellowship, good will and plenty, might
once more reign over the eutire coun
try.
Below is given the result of the inter
viewer’s labors:
W. H. Haekett, of the pyrolusite man
ganese company, Gartersville, Ga., was
approached, lie was found to be a very
modest ane intelligent gentleman, in
reply to question put to him he gave the
following information: Gartersville was
fifty miles north of Atlanta. The com
pany he represented was engaged in mi
ning iron ores and manganese. The lat
ter is a metal used in the manufacture of
Bessemer steel, and the ores found in
the district he came from were the high
est in grade in the world. Manganese
ores were shipped to France, England,
Germany and wherever Bessemer steel
was manufactured. A great deal was
sent to Johnson county Pennsylvania. As
an experiment he had shipped ten car
loads to Pittsburg, Penn., just before lie
left home. The established existing
route was through Louisville. By ship
ping on the Cincinnati Southern he had
saved $2 a ton, that road charging but
$7.50 for what the other road charged
$9.50. If his company effected a favora
ble rate, it could send'l,ooo t ons of ore a
month. To show what Ins section of
Georgia could do, he had a number of
samples of ore with him. The mines
were opened four years ago, but active
operations were not entered into until
about twelve months ago. In his part of
the country they were all good demo
crats. The republicans kept very quiet.
It was hard to tell who was the favorite
for president. Still democrats looked
upon Tilden as a most honorable man
who had the “bar’l.”
Another Georgian from the same part
of the state—which was Bartow county
—northern Georgia—was W. 11. AVikle.
He was a wholesale dealer in books, sta
tionery, etc. Cincinnati school books,
he said, had a footing in Georgia, among
them being Van Antwerp’s and Bragg
& Co.’s The Georgia market in chro
rnos, moldings, etc., was also largely sup
plied by Cincinnati. His municipality
hifd just adopted a school law. In Geor
gia some sections were thoroughly edu
cated, while fifty miles oft' the people
would be in the densest ignorance. In
the past three years, however there had
been a wonderful improvement. A feu
years ago congressman W. P. Price, from
the ninth district, induced the govern
ment to donate to the state the building
used as a mint at Dahlonega, which is in
the centre of the gold-mining regions of
Georgia. The state established an agri
cultural collage and normal school there.
Out of this institution have gone forth a
large number of teachers, and they have
done more than any other influence to
educate the people of the mountainous re
gion of Georgia. Bartow county, with
its agricultural resources, was the rich
est in the state.
J. IT. Franklin, of Franklin & Wilkins,
wholesale produce dealers and grocers of
Atlanta, Ga., said that his section, mid
dle Georgia, produced cotton, wheat,
oats, rye and barley, a great deal of which
he thought could be shipped to Cincin
nati.
WASHINGTON IMMORALITY.
The National Capitol No WOrse Than
Any Other Large City.
A good many people groan over the
immorality of public life in America, as
if Washington were another Paris under
the penultimate Bourbon or the ultimate
Napoleon. This atrabilar estimate of the
condition of public morals in Washing
ton is as erroneous and as inexperienced
as that of the bucolic hero-worshipper,
who regards his favorite statesman as the
repository of all the human and heavenly
virtues. Washington is neither a snow
bank of purity nor a mud hole of rotten
ness. The average senator is not a Jo
seph nor a St. Francis, neither is he a
Cataline. He is much like any other man
in the same circumstances, with the same
temptations and the same restraints. And
his circumstances are not such as to en
courage an impure life. He is generally
an elderly person, with a social position
to guard and a family to guard him. He
generally makes Washington his home
for a number of years, and enters into
relations with the native society of Wash
ington, which is scrupulous to the verge
of prudery. The average senator is
probably a good deal more than the aver
age purity of life, if not of weight.
Members of the lower house have not
always the same restraints. They often
come to Washington without families and
camp in hotels and hoarding houses for a
year or two, without the internal safe
guard of a domestic establishment, or the
external restraint of a position in the na
tive society of Washington; but they are
not as bad as they are painted—not the
youngest and most coltish ot them. They
are no worse in Washington ttian they
would be anywhere else—witness Ack
len’s Louisiana record. It is another mis
take to suppose that Washington affords
any peculiar or exceptional opportuni
ties for debauchery. It has the facilities
possessed by every considerable city, but
no more. There are none of the corrupt
influences that sturound a certain sort of
monarehial court. The worst president
that ever filled the White House never
left the taint of social sin hanging to the
walls. The permanent members of the
government, the judiciary, senators,
cabinet officers, are men of age, dignity
and social standing, and the lower officers
of the state find no opportunity for temp
tation to debauchery in their atmos
phere. If they want this sort of things
they must seek it in the slums that un
dermine society in Washington as in oth
er cities.
At a recent robbery of Mr. Stewart
Mackenzie’s house in London three
things were stolen of historical and j/riee
less value, namely: Hogarth’s watch,
the gold drinking cup used by Prince
Charles at the battle of Culloden, and a
large gold medal stuck to commemorate
the battle of Copenhagen. Mr. Cross lias
offered a reward of £IOO for the capture
of the gang, and Mr. Mackenzie has suj>-
pleinented the sum with another of equal
amount.
