BLACK'S LETTER- On Tuesday night tho Constitution Club, of New York city, was christened' at Its new rooms. 21 West 27th street. Tho object of tho club is "to unite tho influence of independent citizens, with' out regard to patty, to uphold economl cal, pure, and wise government nation al, Slalo and municipal as originally contemplated uy tbe Constitution, aud to resist the corrupting influences which ol late years have niadu such liendwny." About 200 gentlemen were prefout at tho meeting. Es-Gov. Cornell sent a letter of regret. Speeohes were mado by Pros Ident Trematn. Scrratarv Evans, tho Rev. Robert Oollyer, Horace E. Demlng, Georgo H. Yeamens, and others, and Secretory Evans read a letter from Judge Jeremiah S. Black, who was unable to bo present, and who wrote: "Tbe Constitution what is it? The sell imputed restraint ol a free democracy upon its own political action, whereby the power of (ha government Is limited and the equal rights of all the people are protected. Shall it bo obeyed? On such a question what argument can you or I or anybody make? To a patriot the duty of defendiiiR it is too hlaiii to be enforced by words, and the greedy monopolist or tho scurvy politician drivels like an idiot when he tries to give reasons for violating it. Nevertheless it is constantly disregarded br those who swear to observe, it. Tho Interests of a class aro stronger than the rights of the people.

One of tho warm weather sights in Washlngtou is the Saturday afternoon concert of the Marine Band in tbe White House grounds. These form one of the ploasantcst parks in the city, and they are open and used at alt times, in tho most democrotio way, so that the way faring man can go and stare into the President's basement window if be feels like It, and any time before two o'clock In tbo nfternoon can walk right into the President's honse. Tbo first of the con certs for this season took place to-day, beginning at half-past Qye, nnd continu ing until half-past seven. It drew a large crowd as It always does part of which was gathered around tho band on a knoll some distance from the house, the rest being scattered over tho grounds. Near the portico of the Whito Honse, where the President was with some friends, stood a cluster of people, with their backs toward the uiusio, and gazing up curiously. They pointed out the Presl dent to one another. He was moving nbout among tbe ladles of tho party, and lu tho exercises of his rights ns an American citlzeu wore a soft white bat. Attorney-Gcueial Brewster was there, and ladles of tbe various Cabinet tami- lies. Tbe crowd on tho grounds was well dressed and deoorous, us it always is. To some of them it la ovldently n social episode- something to be enjoyed and remembered, Now nnd then a man of sotno distinction will stroll through, nil the grades of people in the Govern dhould not; and If Mr. Freuoh is any thing of an orator tho subject is one out of wbloh ho ought to moke a succevs us a lecturer. Tbe desire to bear and learn about our publio men Is universal. Whatever pertains to their history, their struggles and triumphs, their hablts;tbeir person, their Intellectual peculiarities, is eagerly devoured. "Oath" has caught hold of tne Idea, and tne past season, with success of course. Rave the country n lootnre upon "The Presidents." The field Mr. French has taken Is larger and richer still.

Buckingham, Howe, Sohurz, Carponter,Frelingbuysen,Eaton, Blaine, Edmunds, ConMiug, the two Morrills, Wiudom, Davis, Hansom, Gor don, Allison, Garland, etc, eto. Mr. French's long term of office certainly gave him rare opportunity for learning tbe character and ways of these senator ial magnates. it is expected that ine star-route ease will go to the jury rjy ine tna oi mis week. As it draws to a close the uows papers owned or subsidized by Brady and his companions can hsrdly find space enough to contain tbo abuse with which they decorate, from day to day, the ad ministration and tho offioers of the gov ernment and nttorneTS who are engaged in the prosecution. Tbe testimony of tbo defendants themselves, however, nas shown to the lury the motives that prompt those who make these attacks. The defendants are apparently of the opinion that abuse and slander are tbe most powerful areuments which they can use in reply to Mr. Merrick's masterly and convincing analysis of the evidence against them. uom l'EDr.o.

THE QUESTION OF THE DAY. TheBiitisb steamship Belgravia, which lelt Queenstown on the last day of May, nnd arrived at New York on Monday, had on board' for New York seven bun dred GovernmoLt-nssuted Irish emi grants. A cable despatch of the 10. h lustaui conveys the news that six bun hundred more Irish emigrants, aided by tho British Government, left Galivny for this port on Friday of last week. Many thousands more of these unhappy people are to bo sent here, within a short time, under the auspices of the British Gov. eminent. The Evening Post of the 11th Inst., hart a Washington despatch in these words: "Those who hayo given the subject of forced pauper immigration to this country much attcntfon say thai the agent of the leading transatlantic steamship lines could giye much information us to the contracts mude with the Uritish Government lor the transportation to this country of the Irish poor, and it will uppear, if Congress shull ever make inquiry, thatthe British Govern ment sends to America nnly those Irish peasants who are useless for any purposes in Ireland." This subject was taken np by the great Irish-American Convention held in Philadelphia last April, and hero is one or tbo resolutions adopted, with enthusi asm, as part of the platform of that Convention: ment service ore seen, and there Is no crowd in Washington without a few newspaper reporters. The negro ele ment is in considerable force, lrom tbe unmitigated and unintelligent contra band to tbe mulatto girl in flashy silks. Thkcu altogether, tbe crowd is one of tbe unimportant but typical sights of Wash iuQtoii. Mr. Merrick will probably conclude big urumeut In the star-route cases to day. Alluding to Mr. Iugersoll's orator ical burial of lterdell, Mr. Merrick baid bo would bury Dorsey alongside of Her. dell, "and if, notwithstanding tbe conn sera prayers, Uabnel when he passes over those graves sbould blow, and tbe corrupt and buried Dorsey should arise an immortal spirit, and come into that last graud court belore the Great Saarch cr of all Hearts, beforo Whom we must all appear, and the Great Searcher and All ivnowcr should osk nun, 'Were you not in tne iicsn Known as atepnen w. Dorsey?' the spirit would answer 'I don'i remember. The compromise made by tho Govern ment with Ottman Is n questionable transaction. Tne matter is a good deal mixed np, but it is certain that $17,000 were stolen from the Government, and that Ottman was accused of having re ceived tbe stolen money, of which $19. 000 were seized by the Government effi- eers nnd S3 UUU attached in LanK. un man has been tried twice but without being cither convicted or acquitted, and now that tho papers in tbe case have been mane pnuiio it is snown that there was really less justification for the action of tho Department of Justice than had be?n supposed. The whole matter will bo thoroughly investigated when Congress meets, and publio curiosity will not be satisfied until it is known exactly what uere tbe influences which caused the voluntary surrender by tho Government of Its own money, nud bow that mouey was divided among tbe parties concerned, Mr. Bliss, Mr. Crowley nnd ns tbeyknow anything that tho money which tbey re cclve.i forOttmau did notbelong to Mm, 'out to tbe Government, from which it .ban been stolen, Everybody in Washington goes to Europe this year.

There is a good deal of gossip going round just now about gambling in Wash ington, especially among nrmy officers, some of whom have lately been in finan cial embarrassments attributed to that cause. Undoubtedly some foundation exists for this talk, as a certain form ol gambling is carried ou to considerable extent among the idle officers nnd their intimates here, though few of tbe former can very well afford the luxury. Poker is tbe game indulged in, and it is gener- Uy regarded n mild form of speculative amusement; but there are people who now it to be pretty lively ond expens- vu under certaiu circumstances. So far as gambling hoUHcs proper ore coucerned we have none of them hero now, except, perhapj, a few small policy shops among tbe colored people. Oar gambling dens were alt closed more than a year ago and can bo kept so as long as tbe police authorities do their duty in enforcing the strict laws of tbe District pertaining thereto. But tho seductive game of poker is played in a quiet way In private apart ments to a considerable extent. There nra many men among nil classes, officials and others, who ure fond of a little game of "draw," and though quite considerable sums change bauds in theso games some. times, It is sllll not cused ns low as gambling. It Is regarded merely a little ceutlemauly amusement. uul tno lime was, uowever, -lu tne cnlden days of tbe empire," when tbe old Washington ring wasiu us gtorv, that gambling here flourished most prosper ously. 'Canibliug bouses by tbe dozens were opeu nud noove board, ivtrv ho tel and restaurant bad its poker-rooms. The clnbs were little else than polite gambling bouses, and there were poker parties lu inauy oi tno nnndsomest pri vnte bouses, Looking back on those days it appears that every one played poker cabinet olncers, bureau orucers, nrmy aud navy otllcers, senators aud members of Congress nearly nil played poker. It Is said that the theu President himself, used to take a baud now and then. At that time the famous gambler John Chnniberlain, now retlrtd from the cloth, occupied tbe residence of Sir Ed ward Thornton, the British minister. Sir Edward moved oat of bU beautiful honse ono day, and Ohamberlaiu moved in the next, with all his gambling outfit. He gave glorious suppers, aud some of ths best peoplaof Washington visited his place aud enjoyed his hospitality. But they never were permitted to join in tbe play, and never saw what was gonlng on Regular correspondence of Advocate. New Yobk. Juue 12, 1B83. A party of gentlemon were Bitting to gether nt Delmonico's the other evening, and among other things they discussed the victory of Mr. James R. Keene's colt Blue Grass nt tho Ascot races that morn ing. "I wonder what possesses Keene to go into racing or sport in general. He certainly takes no interest in it. What cattle he has running on domestic race courses is certainly not mucb, aud besides he never or seldom goes to the trouble even of looking at them. Then the idea of sending over a lot of high priced yearlings every season to bo pre pared for tbe turf, after three or four ex periences have shown him tbat their tempers are invariably spoiled by a sea Voyage. I suppose that bis yearly ex. penditures for this costly luxury must be little short or $100,000. Now for this he cets absolutely nothing. Lorillard's bill may be Jast as high, but for him racing is nt least an advertisement, as he cou float the world with his tobacco, once lived in the same apartment house with Keene. I did not know him ot first, but when I finally got acquainted with the littlo man of the thoughtful brow who was always in a hurry, I nsked him something one morning about his horses. He looked up for a moment iu n kind of abstracted manner and finally replied disparagingly, "Oh I I dou't know any. thing about such matters. My trainer looks out for them." I dou't tbiuk Kecue has any business to be either an owner or backer of horses. He Is uatur ally and constitutionally a bear whenever financial speculations are concerned.

By tbe way,' added tho gentleman; "do you kuow tbat he cleared nearly a million' in oil this week? Thus, though he was very hard up for weeks and for a time looked dangerously like capiizing with all sail set, be is all right ngaln." Tbe oil excilemeut while it Wed was very intense. Everybody dabbled in it. Merchants, clerks, professional men, even office boys "took a fiver" at it. Tho wise ones retired after making a small profit. But the new lambs saw tbe possibilities before them nud were determined to get rich in ono stroke. Quite naturally tbey did not bny uutll the market had reached its highest point. Then they filled up. The insiders theu began to quietly unload, and the unso pbisticated amateur bulls found their clover iuto ashes.

Tho sudden departure of Lillian Rus sell has caused quite n flutter In theatri cal circles and in tbe clubs. Everybody is agreed that this pretty doll has taken the right step to kill her prospects on ths boards aud that sho will lire to re gret tbe day when she leit hor profes sional and personal reputation behiuu her to the tender mercies of her manager. About her intimacy with little Solomon, the anthor of Billee Taylor nnd several other less successful operas the opinions of people are divided. Some say that she Is dead in love with the little Eng lish Jew, while others assert that tbe friendship is merely n matter of dollars and cents, That is to say, Lillian is in hopes of becoming a great btar and very Wealthy through Solomon's notes, while the composer thinks he has found in the much advertised "dude beauty" a hero. ine who will make his works famous and bank ncoount heavy. They are both likely to be mistaken for Russell's voice is lijbt and thin and she has no drnniat ia ability. Her only stock In trade Is a girlish figure, a pretty wax-doll face and a few ingenue ways which momentarily dazzle very young, yery old or very un sophisticated meu. Solomou Is a man of one work. He "wrote himself out" in Billee Taylor. None of his other works could compare with it, aud that at best was but a flower which grew in the light reflected Irom Gilbert and Sullivan's Pinafore. What men about town laughed at most, however was the conquest Lillian mule of a young Haytlau mulatto, a son of an ci-President of that turbulent lie. public, and who in view of the foot tbat he has S250.000 In his own right thinks himself a kind of Monte Cbrlsto, It seems to have growu fasbiouuble for ac tresses to have at least one son of Ham in their train of captive swains.
