' ——— ~ VOL. XII THE LOTTERY BUSiNESS. From an article in the New York Tribune, we gather the following particulars in relation to the lottery business in the United States. The majority of the lotteries in the Unit.d States claimed to be legal are located in three States only—Delaware, Maryland and Georgie. Schemés are also issued from Missouri and Kentucky, and drawings take place in those States, but the great bulk of the busineas is done in the three States first enumerated. There is but one lottery in Georgia that was established by law, the “Sparta Academy’* lottery, which was instituted in the year 1526 for the purpose of raising $5,000 wherewith to build the Sparta Academy. This charter was afterwards acquired by Samuel Swanand Ben- jamin Wood, of New York By the act of incorporation, it was provided that 15 per cent of the gross receipts should be handed over to the State for the benefit of the Academy Fund, and that all the balance of the receipts, after the deduction of a «mail margin to meet the fair expenses of an economical management. should be divided in prizes. Al- though the Sparta Academy charter was yy in 1526 only to raise the sum of 9.000, the State of Georgia has, up to this time, received but $2,000 of this sum, while the two managors of the concern, Samuel Swan and Benjamin Wood, are reported to be worth each more than half a miilion of dollars, al! of which, or at least the great buik of which, has been acquired by the Sparta Academy Lottery scheme. These two men were lately indicted for illegal lottery dealing. it being claimed that the charter has acpeed: their trial was eet down for last month, but they have secured a Postponement antil next sear. The Green and Pulaski Monument Lottery is also in the State of Georgia. Its proprietors were Gregory £ Maury. ‘There were fifteen lotteries in Maryland, which are now consolidated intooue. The prin- cipal ones of them were the Patapsco Institute, the Carroll County, the Pokomoke River Maryland State, Washington County, Bel-Air, Susquehanna Canal, and the O!d Havana Plan. All these are owned by R. France & Son, and they all expire by special act of Legislature on the ist of April, 1359. This firm aiso own the Shelby County Lottery in Kentucky, which bs se in 1362. essrs. Wood. Eddy & Swan also own the Delaware and Missouri lotteries, which, it is said, they recently purchased from Gregory & Maury for $173,000. So, it will be seen that the entire lottery business in this country is in the hands of only two firms. In the Spring of 1854, Messrs. Benj. Wood and Samuel Swan called on two legal genile- men of thecity of Augusta, with the view of , obtaining their opinion as to the legality of a eontempiated purchase by them (Wood £ Co.) of the Sparta Academy grant of 1826 from the trustees. They stated that they desired to be- come the proprietors of that charter, and to go on and draw the lottery themselves. Thecase was a complicated one, it being a question whether the act of 1226, granting the Sparta Academy Lottery privilege was snuuiled or af- fected by the subsequent act of 1533. The law- Jers made a careful aud extended examination of the case, and finally gave it as their opinion that the purchase would be illegal, and that, if it should be consummated by Wood & Co., aad if they should goon and make drawings under the grant, their whole Proceedings would be unlawful, and they would be liable to have their business broken up and to suffer the pea- ality of the law, if ever the authorities chose to proceed against them. Swan & Wood. vot con- tent with this, procured other advisers, and at fast determined to make the purchase and carry on the lottery, relying either on the non- inierfereuce of the officers of the law, or on the ability of their learned counsel to bring them off clear of damage in case a Prosecution sbould be instituted. The purchase was accordingly made, and the management of the Sparta Academy Lottery passed from the control of the State of Georgia into the hands of Benja- min Wood and Samuel Swan. For three yexrs their business Went on must Prosperously, and the proprietors became rich men. They appointed two Commissioners to superinted the rawing: although the original grant calls for seven. it is said they pay these two men, Mr. Leon P. Dugas and Frederick C. Barber. $100 a year each. In the ciroulars of Swan 4 Co..acard appears signed by these two Commissioners, testifying to the fair and honorable character of the proprietors, and that “everything connected with the entire buciness is carried on with the most Scrupuloas and exact integrity.”’ Appended to this eard, appears another signed by the Mayor and Postmaster of the city of Augusta, and by an ex-U_ 5. Senator, bearing testimony to the in- tegrity of the Commissioners; so that, on the face ot the business. every thing appears fair and honestly conducted. We need hardly re- mark that all this appearrnee of fairness has a great weight with the public in inducing them to invest their money in the lotteries _ Early this present year, the Mayor of New York, who was exerting himself to put a stop to all the lotteries in the country, too! steps to test the legality of the Sparta Academy con- cern, that being the moat extensive of any sin- gle one. Sergeaut Birney was dispatched to the State of Georgia, where he eventually suc- ceeded in procuring seven indictments for vic- lation of the lottery law of 1853, against each one of the following parties: enj. Wood, 7 Swanandteo Eddy, proprietors, and L. P. gasand Fred k C. Barber, Commissioners of Sparta Academy Lottery. The penalty forthe each violation of the law being not less than $500, and, in default of payment on convic- tion six months imprisonment, the affair was & serious one. The trial was tocome on at Augusta on the 15th of November, 1858, before the Hon. Judge Holt. Col. Wm. A. MoLaws, Attorney General of the State, and ——— A Francis H Cone appeared for the while the Hon Alnnaees H. Ste; rior bg i Lochrane, J. Miller, P. N. Smead and A. Mil. ler were engaged fer the defence. Mr. Loeh- rane, the leading counsel for the defence, Leiog sick, the Judge continued the case till the May term, 1859 Prosecutions have not yet Leen commenced against the concerns in the other States, but there seems to be a determination on the part ot those who have begun the crusade to carry it through. The expenses of the lottery business are enermous, as the managers flood the country with cirealars and other publications. beside advertisiog. The circulars are distributed to an extent unknown in any other business, and almost incredible to those who are not some- what acquainted with the workings of the sys- tem. As many as 20.000 circulars have been dispatched in a single mail, and as they are sent in sealed envelopes and charged letter postage, the postage on that single copsign- ment would be 3600. Indeed, it is estimated that it costs $200,000 per year. beside the prizes, tocarry on the Sparta Academy Lot- tery alone, a great part of which sum goes to the printers and for postage, and the rest is paid for rents, salaries of clerks and agents, traveling expenses of managers, and numerous otber unavoidable incidents. Another item of no mean importance in the list of expenses of a lottery establichment isthe large sum paid annually for telegraphing. And this part of the business is by no weans left to the chances of precedence to which all other business passing over the Telegraph lines is subjected ; om the contrary, every Telegraph Company on the whole route, from the place ot drawing the Georgia lotteries, and those of Maryland, to New York, to Boston, to Phila- deipbia, and to all others of the principal cit- ies of the United States, is suborned by the lat- tery manag: ud proprietors to keep the lite clear for the transimission of lottery intelligence. Stcertain hours of the day, no matter how Stet or how urgent may be the importance of the business 0: rparties. Fow.cbisaatter Is Managed wi sve no time to expinin,though war readers will bardly need to be ivformed ths! money is at the bottom of itall We give # clue when we mention that Messrs, R.France £ Co., the owners of the Maryland lotteries, arealso heavy stockholders in the House’ Tele. graph Company, and that Frank Morris, at present of the House Company was formerly the manager of the lotteries of R. France & Co. When it was found that he could render more efficient service to the lottery interest in the Telegraph Company than in his other position, the transfer was easily accomplished. It will doubtless astonish very many of our readers to bear that the lottery proprietors have sufficient interest to command the f: graph Companies; but when they learn the fact at France & Co. Bt, the Stete of Maryland the sum of $70.- 000 for the mere privilege of drawing the Con- sulidated Lotteries in their own name, they will readily comprehend that the busi is of too much importance to let an: money consid- eration stand in the way of bh car- tying out of their plans The State of Maryland, and the other States where lotteries are claimed to be legal. takes such an interest in their support and protection that to the counterfeiting or alteration of lot- tery tickets they apply the same severe penal- ties as to similar counterfeiting or tampering with hanks notes In the State of New York, and other States where lotteries are not recog nized as lawful. it is no offense to counterfeit or alter lottery tickets, and no greater penalty attaches for stealing them than for alarms of 30 much blank paper. In the time of the New York State lotteries, a number of the great public works of the State were built by sums of i raised by the lot- tery plan. Among the prominent ones of them, Columbia College, of this city, was built aud endowed by the help of the lottery enterprize, some fifty-three years ago. In those days the Commissioners of the Lotteries were elected, as they now are in Maryland. At the time of the revival of the Sparta Academy Lottery grant in Georgia, the movement was strongly opposed by the better class of citizens, and was pry aia with a great oiajority. The place of drawing was first established at Atlanta, but such was the state of feeiing in that city thatit was afterward deemed expedient to remove the scene of operations to Augusta, where all the business is at present conducted The Missouri State Lottery, of which we do not bear sv much as we shali when the Dela- ware grants run out, is owned by Wood, Eddy, Maury & Gregory. The “Gre, ry’ of the firm is Mrs. Gregory, the widow of alter Gregory, who was formerly the leadi artner in the firm of “Gregory & Maury.’ This eoncern is at present very quiet in that quarter; but in the course of a year or two, uuless some legal obstacles are interposed, operations on thischar- ter will be commenced on a large scale. There are not unfrequently come strange Proceedings in the dealing of the lottery men with each other. The following instance tells 4 story against one of Mr. Ben. Wood's Sparta Academy Commissioners that might be men- tioned with a number of very emphatic adjec- tives. Someseven years azo. Messrs. D. Paine & Co. were lottery dealers in the State of Maryland, and a Me F. C. Barber was an agent of theirs, having charge of an office in one of the minor cities of the Union One day, Messrs. Paine & Co. received notice from Mr. Barber that one of the tickets sold by him had drawn a prize of $20,000 {and Mr. Bar- ber desired to have the cash remitted, that he might pay it over to the fortunate holder of the lucky ticket. Paine & Co.. not being willing to pay 20 large a sum on the mere word of their agent, dispatched a lawyer named Patten to Savannah, to see about the matter. They sus pected that the prize-ticket had not been le- gally sold in the legitimate course of business, but that Mr. Barber was endeavoring to make a handsome speculation on his own individual account. Mr. Patten reached Savannah and called on Mr. Barber, the agent, and, announcing his business, asked to see the prize ticket, which Mr. Barber at once produced. Mr. Patten then demanded that Barber produce the ticket-hold- er, but Barber would not do it, nor has he been able to find the man from that day to this. Of course, under the circumstances, Paine & Co. could come to but one conclusion, which was, that Mr. F. C. Barber had attemped to swindle them out of $20000. The money was never Pe but now, seven years later, this same Mr. -C. Barber turns upas one of the Sparta Academy commissiouers, being hired to fill that De pee pest by Messrs. Swan, Wood & Co. ere are very few persons who have any idea of the extent to which aL gambling is carried in the cities where it is forbidden by law. Itis estimated by those who know the business that at least $3.000 are spent in the City of New York every day for lottery tick- ets, and more than $10 000 for policy numbers. This last is a very low caiculati: n, as there are a theusand policy shops iu the city. —— Harp axp Usraxpon aie Joxe.—It will be recollected that the New York Herald obtained authority from the government to Place a re- porter on board the steam frigate Niagar: consequently was enabled to give the best and earliest account of th ing of the telegraphic Recently, the Times got the start of the Herald, and was saiborised by the govern- ment to place a reporter on board of the frigate Sabine, the flag ship of the Paraguay expe: tion. The matter went on well, until at the very last moment, as the vessel was about to eed down the harbor, Judge Bowlin, the nvoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten- tiary, rushed into the sanctum of the editor of the Times, with a ‘‘ special telegram’’ just sent him from Washington. od by General Cuss, countermanding rmit. The editor looked unutterable things—he was sure must be some mistake. But the Minister said he had no time to argue the matter; the Sabine was about to sail, hisorders were peremptory; Mr. Sewell, the reporter, must go ashore, ‘bed and bag- gage,” forthwith. Saying this he left the sanctum, and sure enough, in the course of an hour thereafer, *‘ our own correspondent’’ was ignominiously put ashore. Butthe laugh does not comein bere. About an hour after the Sabine had cleared the Nar- rows, and fired her farewell shot, it came out that the Envoy Extraordinary bad been the vietim of an extraordinary hoax. Gen. Cass was telegraphically requested to explain, and he did explain by pronouncing the revocation of ¢he permit for the Times correspondent a for- gery, expressing bis profound ret, and as- saring the Times folks and Mr. Sewell of dis- tinguished consideration.—Boston Traveler. As Ecorement anp Its Resvit.—It may be remembered that some two months since. Mr. W. H. White eloped with a Miss Amanda Platt, from Hartford, Conn. Mr. White had a wife, three children and a prosperous busi- ness. Miss Platt was sixteen years old, and her parents moved in good circles. The first beard of the missing couple was by a tele- ee dated Washington, D. C., from Senator )‘xon, of Connecticut, announcing that they ‘ere stopping at Brown's Hotel, in that city. Mr. White, for some r . suddenly left Washington, and wentto New York. Arriving three weeks ago, he placed his victim in a dis- Teputabie house in the upper part of the city, and there left her. Discovering that she had been basely deserted, the repentant girl wrote to her tather. He came and took her home. White was arrested in New York on Saturday, and handed over to Sheriff Chamberlin, of Hartford, moo — to Albany with a re- quistion upon Gov. King, had it acknowledged, acd then took White back upon a charge of abduction and seduction. White declared af- ter bis arrest that he would never be placed alive inside the walls of a prison. —— {TF A new Roman Catholic Chureh hae just been dedicated at New Albany, Ind {[7~ A Chess Club has been organized at Port- laud, Me , Wm_ Senter, Presideat ae A woman, ebarged with the murder of "Het niece, @ girl of 17,18 in custody at Howson, Texas iL The building in Paris known as the Morgue is to be pulled down, and the dead bod- jes will henceforth be exposed elsewhere, For Rent and Sale.
