Kelly, with Detectives Carter and Edelin, took the suspected men into custody in Judiciary square and locked them up In the sev enth precinct cells. The officers afterwards Searched the room of the prisoners, No. 707 7th Street, between G and H streets, and turned up their effects “They found’ a_grip-sack packed full of the finest burglars’ tools, consist- ing of chisels, jimmies, nippers and a full set of skeleton keys, &@.

The speakers were Col, C. W. Moulton and Gen. W. W. Belknap tn bebalf of the Loutstana, and Mr. San- ders and his associate for the Loutsville company. ‘The arguments were confined principally to the questions as to whether or not the original order of Postmaster General Key, denying the Loulstana company the uge of the mails, is still in force, or whether a subsequent order issued Dy Judge Key, suspending the first order, was intended to abro- Rate it, | Counsel for the Loulslana company main- jained that such was the intention of the Post- master General, and their arguments were di- Fected almost exclusively to that point. Until this juestion 1s decided argument upon the legality of the Louisiana company will not be heard, and it 1s quite probable that such arguments will be un- hecessary, especially if the Postmaster General shall decide that the original order denying the company the use of the mails was not abrogated by the subsequent order suspending it. The re- marks made by officers of the department appear to tnateate that this will be the result. Ex-Con- gressman Southard, who was present as the rep- Tesentative of a Colorado company, held that the crder prohibiting the delivery of inall matter to the Louisiana lottery company could not be en- forced, even if revived, because Itstamped Dauphin and not the company as engaged in fraudulent business. As Dauphin was president of a bank, an had other large business interests which thé order was calculated to injure, 1t was defective in hot specifying the ma!l matter addressed to him for the Louisiana lottery company. The Posjmas- ter General reserved his decison. ‘The U.S. Steamer Tallapoosa, from Washington, and the U.S. steamer Powhatan, from Fortress Monroe, arrived in New York to-day. SoME OF THE NavaL Capers decline to accept their discharge from the navy, as stated else- where, while others who are willing to accept the situation, are unable to get their accounts set- tled. From the statement of one of the dis- charged cadet engineers, made at the Navy de- partment to-day, it appears that he had been con- sidered a aval cadet, and when he went to the ‘reasury ent for the year’s pay due him, the second “controller declined. ta settle his ac- counts, as he was uncertain whether he should be Paid the $950 due as a naval cadet or the $1,000 as a fadet engineer. As the decision of thé Secre- tary of the Navy and that of the Court of Claims directly confilct, it 1s probable that the whole matter, whether these young men are in or out of the service, will have to be carried to the Supreme Court for adjudication.

The pleas filed are as to the legality of the grand jury which found the in- Gictment and are converse to the pleas in the Kellogy-Bray case, argued last Saturday, in which the point was made that the grand jury was illegally constituted because vacancies were filled by resorting to the box instead of summonin n, government then took the groun that drawing from the box was proper. In the cage to-day the government contends that what the defendants complain of—filling vacanctes from the box instead of calling in taleamen—is correct. ‘The government also claims that unless the de- fense can show that some damage has been done they cannot now take advantage of any trregu- larity at this late day.

A Thorough Investigation ef the Lou- isiann Lottery by a Representative of “The Times.” How the Scheme is Operated, and the Men Who Are Connected with It, I Gambling tastitution with a State " Charter and a Government License, Opinions as to Its Fairness and the Manner of its Workings. (From the Chicago Times, May 16, 1883.) In all ages of the world’s history, among all races of People, however highly civilized or the exact reverse, the passion for woolug the fickled goddess of chance has invariably manifested itself. Legislators and lawgivers have striven in vain by the enactment of the most stringent statutes to repress the practice of gambling in ome or other of its manifold forms, for the instinctive desire to attain sudden wealth by the hazard of a die, the revolution of a wheel, or the turn of @ card is too deeply implanted in the minds of men to be driven out by the power of legal enactment. ‘The subject is a fruit- ful one, and might be made the text for » thousand homilies upon the folly and weakness of mankind, as it ‘as served to point a million morals in the past, But Tax Truss to-day proposes to deal with only one branch of this great moral problem, and to treat only of the lottery business as conducted by the Louisiana State Lottery Company, an institution which has its ramifications in every oity of the United States, and is nowhere more strongly represented than in Chicago. ‘It 1s well known to all that the early legislators of the State of Iilinois, in their desire to protect the morals of the commonwealth, enacted constitutional: provisions forbidding the authorization by the General Assembly of any lottery or gift enterprise within the State. In ao- ‘cordance witn these provisions laws have been passed, and, 80 fer as Illinois is concerned, the lottery business isunder the ban. But in other Statos, and notably in the South, different ideas have governed, and as the effect of the lotteries established under the sanction of local laws in Louisiana is by no means confined to that State, it becomes » matter of general interest to trace their workings. For this reason Tue Trmes has made thorough and searching investization into the manner in which the onegreat lottery of the country is conducted bysonding oneof its reporters to Louisiana toexamine into affairs on the ground. ‘The resuit of his inquiries isgiven herewith. His instructions wero to make thor- oush examination into the financial and legal status of the Louisiana State Lottery, to examine its charter from the legislature, and to see whether it complied with the state constitution, in which the validity of such charter is recogniz:d and guaranteed, He was also to ascertain from state and city officials in New Orleans whether the company lived up to its contract with the state in the matter of providing for charitable institu- tions, and to obtain the opinion of bankers and business men about the concern. Lastly, and most important of all, he was to witness the drawing of prizes as conduct- ed monthly in New Ocleans, and to satisfy himself be- yond 8 peradyenture as to the honesty and fairness of the system. Whether a lottery be forbidden by law, as in Illinois, or chartered by the state, as in Louisiana, there can of course be but one opinion as to the fact that if it be conducted unfairly, it should be exposed as a swindle. The History of the Lottery. In the year 1866 the Senate and House of Representa- tives of the State of Louisiana adopted in legal form “‘An sot to increase the revenues of the State, and to authorize the incorporation and establishment of the Louisiana State Lottery Company, and to repeal cer- tain actsnow in force.” ‘This act provided that no for- eign lottery tickets should be sold within tho State, and gaye to certain citizens named the power to organize a corporation under the following regulations: Anricue1, The name and title of this corporation shall bo the Louisiana State Lottery Company, and the domicile thereof shall be in the city of New Orleans, State of Louistana. Anr. 2, The objects and purposes of this oorpors- tion are: 1. The protection of the State against the Great losses heretofore incurred by sending large amounts of money to other States and foreign countries for the purchase of lottery tickets and devices, thereby impoverishing our own people, 2. To estublish a solvent and reliable home institution for the sale of lottery, policy and combination tickets, devices and certificates, fractional parts thereof at terms and pricesin Just proportion to the prizes to be drawn, and to {nsnre perfect fairness and justice in the distribution of auch prizes, 8. To provide moans to raise a fund for educational and charitable purposes for the citizens of Louisians, AnT. 8. ‘The capital stock of this corporation shall be ‘£1,000, 000, represented by ten thousand shares of $100 each, ‘There were provisions for 8 Board of Directors com- Posed of seven stockholders, and the corporation was givenfall the corporate rights to sue and be sued, eto. ‘The duration of its existence was fixed at twenty-five years. In consideration of the privileges thue granted and guaranteed the company on its part agreed to the following: Ant. 6, Szctron 1. The corporation shall pay to the state of Louisiana the sum of $40, 000 per annum, which sum shall be payable quarterly in advance from and after the 1st day of January, 1869, to the State Auditor, who shall deposit the same in the treasury of tho state, and which sum shall be credited to the educational fund, andsaid corporation shall be exempt from all other taxes and licenses of any kind whatever, whether from state, parish or municipal authorities, 8x0. 2. The corporation shall furnish bonds to the Auditor in the sum of $50,000, as seourity for prompt ‘and punctual payment of the sums set forth in the pro- ceding section. ‘The remaining provistons of the charter regulated the matter of elections of officers, and the general method under which the Company should work. and gave {t for perlod of twenty-five years from tho Ist day of Janu- ary, 1869, the sole and exclusive privilege of establish- ing and authorizing a lottery, or series of lotteries, and selling and disposing of lottery tickets, polloy, combi- nation devices, and certificates and fractional parts thereof. Constituhonal Guarantees. The Constitution of 1879 provided, in Article 167, a3 follows: ARTICLE 167. The General Assembly shall have au- thority to grant lottery charters or privilezes, provided each charter or privilege shall pay not less than $40,000 per annum in money into the treasury of the State; and provided further that all charters shall cease and expire on the Ist of January, 1895, from which time all Jotteries are prohibited in the State, ‘The $40,000 per annum now provided by law to be paid by tho Louisiana State Lottery Company, accord- ing to the provisions of its Chartor granted in the year 1868, shall belong to the Charity Hospital of New Orleans, and the Charter of said Company is recog- nized as a contract binding on the State for the period therein specifivd, except its monopoly clause, which is hereby abrogated; and all laws contrary to the pro- Visions of this Article are hereby aeclared null and yoid, provided said Company shal! file a written renunciation of all its monopoly features in the office of the Secretary of State within sixty days after tho ratification of this Constitution. Of the additional sum raised by licenses on lotteries, the Hospital at Shreveport shall receive $10,0U0 annu- ally, and the remaining sum shall be divided each year smong the several parishes in the State for the benefit ‘Thus doubly fortified by constitutional provision and an indefeasible Charter, the question of the legal exist- ‘ence of the Louisiana State Lottery, so far as the Stato of Louisiana had the power to go, was proven on the start. Having satisfied himself on these points, the investigator proceeded to have a series of interviows with prominent officials and business men of New Orleans, which tell their own story, as follows: tution, it protects its Zranchise against Pobtical parasites who would like to rob the Pany of its charter, regardless of the loss to the sity of Now Orleans which would follow, and for the Purpose of obtaining concessions for themselves. ‘The Louisiana State Lottery, as it is conducted, is perfectly square and honest. The officers are men of high standing and repute, and they cannot afford to endanger their reputations or mak the forfelture “*How about the fulfilment of the Charter provision ‘as to placing in your hands $40,000 every year for char- itable purposes?" $ “* They pay in advance $10,000 every quarter into my ‘eperagraph which appeared in J’he T'meo-Demeorat, of this city, on Jaly 22 last, and which you ean publish es it stands.” ‘The paragraph was as follows: ‘THE LOTTERY AnD THE MAILS. (Special to the Times-Democrat.} Wasnrxatoy, July 21.—Oongressman Robertson, of has received a reply from the Postmaster General to his letter relative to the use of the mails by the Louisiana Lottery Company. The Postmaster General in his reply, takes the ground that the Lottery Company is a legal institution, and that he cannot therefore, prevent the Company from using the mails. “*What was the reason of Congressman Roberteon’s *‘I do not oare to go into details of the personal fight. Teuppose ‘the cow kicked."” “‘Where is Mr. Robertson now?” “‘Upat Baton Rouge. He has been lected to stay at home." ‘The Mayor of New Orleans. General W. J. Beban, Mayor of New Orleans, was found at the City Hall. The reporter stated that Te ‘Traces hsd sent him to New Orieans for the purpose of investigatiag the workings of the Louisians State Lot- tery Company, and expressed the hope thst Mayor Behan would freely furnish all the information in his Power. “I shall be very happy to do so,” replied the courteous executive. I admire the enterprise of Tar CBICAGo ‘Tratxs in sending a representative so far from home for the investigation of information, The Lottery Com- Pany is doing a great work in the matter of alleviating human enffering and misery in our city.” ‘The reporter stated that he had seen s number of the Jeading men of New Grieans, and that they all gave ut- terance to the same sentiments in regard to the honesty of ‘the drawings, and the high personal character of the gentlemen connected with the company. “‘Yos,” answered the mayor, ‘it is, I believe, the only institution of the kind in the world which is abso- lutely free from any taint or suspicion ‘of irregularity. I never bought a lottery ticket in my life, but being en- aged in commercial pursuits [Mayor Behan conducts a large wholesale grocery business],I'am personally a0- uainted with the honorable standing of each and every member of the Board of Directors of the Louisiana State Lottery Company. As to the Commissioners, Gens. Beauregard and Early, their reputations are na- onal. The conduct of the lottery is beyond reproach, “* What are the facts as to the charitable work of the organization?” ‘ “* The Managers of the State Lottery Company never soem to tire of giving in a good cause. ‘Bheir donations to charitable purposes extend over the world. As to their enterprise, I can only say that it resembles that of your Chicago men. If we had more of their kind, New Orleans would not take a back seat as a manufacturing and commercial city to any in this country.” Bank President Kohn. ‘The reporter, in his researches for news among the commercial and financial magnates of New Orleans, met Mr. C. Kohn, president of the Union National Bank of that city, and propounded to him questions identical with those asked of the other gentlemen named. **I shall be only too giad,” said Mr. Kohn, ‘‘to tell to the people of the North, through the medium of Tax Tres, the facts as to the business standing and per- sonal character of the lottery officials. I am not inter- ested in any way in lotteries, and am opposed to them and to all forms of gambling. I believe them to be a vad thing for any State or community to encourage. But I'am willing to forgive the Manaera of the Lou- Asiana State Lott-ry Company for all the harm that lot- tery has ever done, if ittaas done any, in consideration of the good work it has done and is constantly doing for humanity, One-half will never be known of the true charity of that corporation. ‘Their hands are always open to the poor and needy, and when we were visited by epidemics they simply overflowed in charity.” Mr. Jules Cassard, Prosident of the Germania National Bank, was found at his private desk, industriously occupied in appending ‘his oficial signature te bank notes ebout to be issued as currency. With much suavity and good humor he laid aside his work for the time to make the reportor feel thoroughly at home, “‘Ieonsider,” he said, ‘Tax Outcago Tres a great and enterprising newspaper. It is thoroughly known and ite merits fully appreciated throughout the South. It there 4s any way in which,I oan serve you in the mattor of getting information, Fou oan command me.” ‘Tue Times representative stated his business, and went on to show how the laws of the State of Illinois dealt with the lottery question; how in spite of all those laws there was a great eagerness among the people of the North, and especially the working-classes, to invest small sums in the hope of winning large prizes, and how they were Hable to be imposed upon by concerns not operated upon s reliable business basis or manipu- lated by corrupt or improper persons, For these rea- Sons, and in order to fully determine the financial and Jogal standing of the Louisiana State Lottery Company, he had been sent to New Orleans to make hisinvestixa- tions upon the spot and to learn how the Managers of the Company stood in the estimation of their fellow- citizens and the business community. Mr. Cassard replied: ‘*From a moral point of view I donot indorse anything that tends to the encourage- mentof gambling or games of chanoe, But if lottery 4s to exist, and it looks aa if such was to be in the pres- ent constitution of humanity, it ts of oourse desirable to have only such as are conducted honestly and fairly. Such an institution we have gotright here in this city in the Louisiana State Lottery Company. I ooneider a ticket in that lotteryaas good as this piece of paper [pick- ing up #310 bill.) ‘There aro certain stipulations in re- gard to both which will be observed to the letter. I have uo interest in this Lottery Company, either as = stockholder or otherwise, but Iam personally acquain- ted with all its officers, and I know that their repute- tion as honest and conscientious business mem 1s seo- ond to none in the olty of New Orleans. Their stock cannot be purchased in the market, and it is the best paying investment paper in this country, At their time of life, and with such an institution to main- tain, the officers of this Company cannot afford to do anything to throw cloud upon their namps. I know there are plenty of men who would be very glad to find out some crooked work in the operations of this lottery, 80 that they might come to the front and obtain a char- ter for themselves. You can rely upon it that if all was not square to the last cent the faot would be pubtished far and wide. As to the Charity Hospitsl, which is sup~ ported by the Louisiana State Lottery Company, itis a noble institution, the doors of which are thrown open tothe sick and suffering from all parts of the world. ‘The charity of the company knows no bounds of creed or race, and extends wherever want and misery are found. Irecelve a great many letters of inquiry about. the lottery. Hero iss letter calling for five tickets, I ‘newer all these inquiries as I have answered you, and tell them that the lottery is conducted by honest men. We receive tickets for collection from ail parts of the country, and they are invariably promptly honored.” Mr. J. H. Oglesby, President of the Louisiana National Bank, s a very conservative business man, and like financiers gener ally, has little sympathy with anything which partakes of the nature of agambiing transaction. In reply to the questions of the reporter he said: “‘I do not wish to be interviewed on a matter I know nothing about. As to lotteries, never hada ticket in my life, never expect to haye one, and in my opinion any man who purchases a lottery ticket and expects to get rich in that way is very foolish.” “‘It ia not in reward to tho ethics of lotteries, Mr. Oglesby, that I desire information, but as to your knowledge of the men who are at the head of the Louis- inna State Lottery. Of course you know Gen. Beaure- gard and Gen. Early, the Commissioners, and the Di- rectors of the Company. What can you tell me about their standing in the business community?” “I believe them to be men of honesty, ability, and worth, but as to their lottery business I know noth- ing. “"Do yon ever have lottery tickets sent to you for collection through corresponding banks in other cities.” “*Yes, air, hundreds of them, and they are always paid promptly by the management and returned by us in due course, like all other collections.” - **How about the charitable feature of the Btate Lot- tery Company?" “*I have never heard a word of complaint that it has not lived up to the requirements of its charter. I will aay that I have known it to respond liberally in aid of sufferers along the river in cases of high water and ficods. No longer than two weeks ago I was at the head of © committee for a charitable purpose, and it sent us @check for $500. ‘The Directors are menof high stand- ing in this community, and both enterprising and lib- eral in all their acts.” Other Bankers. ~ A call at the Mutual National Bank developed the fact that the president, Mr. John T. Harden, was at his rea- side residence at Pasa Christian, Miss., buf the reporter found Mr. P. Maspero, the vice president, at his post of duty. That gentleman said, in reply to the repor- torial queries: : ““I believe the Louisiana State Lottery Company to b@ ‘an entirely straightforward institution. We at this bank areall personally acquainted with the officers of the company, and know them to be gentlemen of high business qualifications and strict integrity. We have a large amount of collections on accountof sucocessfa lottery tickets to make eveg7 month. These are sent tol us for collection by ponding banks all over the United States, and they are duly paid on presentation. Now, 0 far as Iam personally concerned, Iam decid- edty opposed to the granting by any State or govern- mental authority of any charter toalottery. But the Tight to do so 1s vested in the General Assembly of this State by the constitution, and as weare to have a lottery Lam very free to say that we are fortunate in having an institution which lives upto the requirements of its charter and conduots its business in an honorable, fair and legitimate way. Then, too, those people are ex- tramely liberal, and not only meet the requirements of the law by contributing $40,000 .every year to the sup- port of the Charity hospital, but always contribute lib- erally to every deserving charity.” well known: bankers and brokers, corroborated in all particulars the statements made by other leading bank- ers 4nd commercial men in regard to the business in- tegrity and stability of the managers of the lottery. |. BR. E, Bivers, ‘the proprietor of the St. Charies hotel, Now Orleans, is © gentleman of high standing and wide personal a0- quatntance in that city, Seated in his private office in ‘the hotel, be talked frou in pass to the object of ** You ought to be able to tell me something in en ee ee **¥ee, sir, Timow all abdut tt, although, mneh tomy regret, I have no interest in the institdtion.”* “* The officers are quite i purposes. pany, cheerfully bore testimony to their high standing in the business: community, and to the fairness and lib- erality with which the lottery is carried on. With re- gard to the actual workings of the lottery and the man- ner in which the drawings are conducted, the reporter, however, proposed to conduct his own investigations. ‘He had ascertained from a score of leading officials and bankers and business men what the standing and repu- tation of the managers of the concern were, and now detwrmiacd to press his inquiries on the subject of the lottery itself and the manner in which it is run. For- tunately for his purpose, there was to be a drawing within a few days and this he proposed to witness in all its details. So far ne had not met any of the gen.le- men connected with the lottery in any capacity, buth:d pushed his investizations iidependentig. But in order to obtain further details as tothe drawings he called on Gon. Jubal A. Early, who, with Gen. Beauregard, acte #8 commissioner to superintend that process. ‘That Gistingnished soldier residesin Lynchburg, Va.. but Visits New Orieans on the occasion of each monthly Grawing. Re is still bright and cheerful, and bears his years well. Over everything connecte’ with the draw- ing the two commissioners exercise the most watchful care. They take entire control of the wheols from which the tickets and the corresponding prize numbers are drawn, and the managers of tho lottery have no more to do with this than any other outsider. In this ‘way perfect safeguards against any possible collusion are provided. Gen. G. T, Beauregard needsno introduction to the reader. His distinguished military career is reoorded in the pages of history, and his name, with that of Gen. Early, ina guarantes of good faith and honesty. His testimony as to the abso- lute fairness of the lottery may be well condensed in the following language employed by him: “‘Latete that, at the request of the Loulsiana Lottery, company, I have superiutended two of its most im- portant drawings in conjunction with Gen. Early. Itis ‘within my pontive knowledge that sald drawings were conducted in the fatrost manner poxtible; and before undertaking the charge, I made invettigation as to the manner in which said company conducted its opera- tions. I became thoroughly convinced that all its affairs and drawings aro honestly and fairly conducted. It 48 @ lewal institution, imoorporated by the state in 1868. and has been in regular operation ever sinco, Its financial standing is first-rate, as it has always paid all prizes drawn, and I never heard of any one having bus- iness wit it complaining of unfairness or bad faith of any description.” Since the time named the drawings have invariab'y been supervised by the twogentiemen, and long expe- rience of the workings of thelottery enables them now to repeat morc emphatically than ever their endorse- meut of the porfect honesty with which the drawings are carried on. The Charity Hospital. Having heard so much during his visit to New Or- Jeans in recard to the Charity Hospital of Louimana, the reporter visited that institution, and through the courtesy of Dr. D. Jamison, the efficient assistant house surgeon, was given an opportunity of making a thorough examination of all its details. Tne Charity Hospital was founded in 1786 by Don Andres Almouas- tery Roxas, aSpanish planter. The present builling ‘was erected tn 1832, and during the last year it relieved 6,419 patients, of wnom 664 remained in the hospital December 31, 1882. It received $40,000 from the Lou- Asiana State Lottery company, and about $75,000 from rents and donations during last year, and is out of debt. In every respect the conduct of this noble charity ap- Pears to be of the most desirable character. Its doors are thrown open to white and biack alike, as no appli- cant for admission is ever refused the necessary treat- mentandcare. In tho matter of cleanliness and atten- tion to every detail of hospital work, the Charity Hos- pital might well bs taken as a model by many more pre- tentious institutions, The Lottery Mself, ‘Thus having obtained the views of many of New Or- Jeans most prominent citizens in regard to the honest Management of the lottery and the fulfilment by the Company of its charter engagements, THE Tres man Proceeded to investigate for himself the lottery. Ac- cordingly he visited for the first time the office of the Comyany, and stated his business to Mr. M. A. Dau- phin, who for several years has acted as President of the Lottery Company. That gentleman expressed him- self as being perfectly willing to furnish all the infor- mation in his power. and certainly afforded every ‘opportunity for a complete investigation of the manner in which the Lottery 1s carried on. The building occupied by the Louisiana State Lot- tery Company is a large and elegant three-story struo- ture, conveniently located on the corner of Union and ‘St. Charles streets, The building and court occupy almost one-quarter of a block. ‘The first two stories are built of Vermont marble, and the remainder of white conerete. The court extends half-way through the center of the property, and is protected by a high iron fence. Within the enclesure thus formed are a large fountain and a wealth of tropical plants. The main office of the Company is an immense, iofty room, oce pying the firet two stories of the building. Of this large room are elegantly furnished private parlors and correspondence rooms. ‘The third floor is used for the public lottery drawing, and is fitted up in good style, with every convenience for the sccommodation of those desirous of witnessing themonthly drawings. In every Tespect the appointments of the building and offices are complete. Over thirty gentlemen are constantly em- ployed in attending to the correspondence. M.A Dauph Some reference should properly be made in this con- nection to the affable gentleman who 80 efficiently pre- sides over the destinies of the Louisiana State Lottery Company. Mr, M. A. Dauphin has been connected with that institution sinoe its inception, and when it Dogan active operations in January, 1869, he occupied ‘# oonfidential position in the office. In the Spring of 1870 the cashier of tle Company realigned on account of ill-health, and Mr. Dauphin took the cashier's desk and the genoral direction of the office. In 1877 Mr. Dauphin being a stockholder ands member of the board of di- rectors, was unanimously elected president for two years. He was re-elected in 1879, 1881, and in January of this year} andis now filling his fourth term at the head of the Company. Drawing the Prizes, At 11 o'clock onthe morning of Tuesday, May 8, a regular monthly drawing of prizes was had in the Com- pany's building, under the supervision of Gens. Beau- regard and Early. The reporter witnessed thie from first to last, theentire process occupying about three hours. The manner in which the drawing is conducted is at once simple and calculated to insure absolute fair- ness, The Plan of the Lottery drawing is as follows: The numbers from 1 to 100,000, corresponding with those numbers on the tickets, printed on separate slips of paper, are encircled with «mall tin tubes and placed in one wheel. The first 979, prizes, similarly printed and encircled, are placed in another wheel. The wheels are then revolved, and a number is drawn from the wheel of numbers, and at the eame time a pri) is drawn from the other whecl. Thenumberand prize drawn out are opened and exhibited to the audience, and registered by thecomminsioners, the prize being placed against the number drawn. ‘This operation is repeated urtil all the prizes are drawn out. The Lottery Company have nothing whatever to do with the drawing, which isen- tirely taken out of their hands, and is watched by Com- | agen ta E fittl inl] refed (Hiei EF i i gE 1 i i | i i i t 3 i | i | rtis| i g | ay Summing tt up. Buch testimony as thia, with the added weight of ue declarations made by New Orleans business men in ~ ard to the financial standing and high character of the Directors and Officers of the Company, , carry conviction with them The reporter can only adi that from all the Observations which he made, and after the most thor- ough investigation conducted independently and for the purpose of getting to the very bottom of the whole ‘business of lottery drawing an conda-ted by the Loutai- ‘ana State Lottery Company, he could arrive at no other ‘conclusion than that the lottery ts conducted on prinoi- ples of absolute fairness. ses An Evicted Tenant's Suit. A JUDGMENT FOR DAMAGES AGAINST 4 LANDLORD. A few days sxo Justice Walter gave his decision in the case of Moses Well against Frederick Brink- mann. This was an action for damages, the piain- Uff clatming $100.
