GRAND REAL ESTATE LOTTERY.
Having had our attention drawn 10 an article In
8. J. Sylgester's Reporter, tending 10 throw dis.
credit on the aboye Lottery, which article Il copied,
at hs request, in many papers throughout the Uni.
TED Sntes, md feeling some interest In The success
Of the undertaking.. because we believe il TO be fair
~ and h~onofably conducted; we have taken some
pains 10 make enquiry, aud find that the article ai.
lnded to, contains several erroneous statements,
which ne deem il proper 10 rectify, inasmuch as the
property at stake il situated in New Orleans.
The statement pafports 10 be grounded on an ar
ticie FIRST published in the Journal of Commerce,
on tho 18Th re June, and on anoihcr m tie Florida
Herald on the 30th Of May.
In the FIRST Of these articles, II IL asserted that
The prizes which are put up At g 800 600 are not
worth that amount, and certainly II i we'll known
that !. customary to value property in a POTTERY
oyrr lie real worth; for how else could The sxpen
ses be defrayed7 II Is true that the scheme price
of the tickets is SIS and the selling Price $50; bur
The difference between the sums forms the profit of
the Managers, Agents, and sab Agents. The same
paper goes On to say that the prizes of Bank stock
are not worth their assumed prices; bot that paper
probably overlooked 10 the scheme he announce
mrnt that those prizes were payable in each if re-
qaifed, giving the winners The choice to take the
stock il ii be worth a premium, Tan some Il them
are now worth Is 10 20 per cent. PREMIUM or The
cash At par for those under par.
The Florida Herald says, that tho Managers have
10 right to draw in Florida. IL is true, thar a
grant passed the Legislative Assembly of Florida
PEI mitting Messrs. Schmidt e Hamilton 10 draw .
Lottery Of Real Estate situated ia New Orleans.
and that the Governor put his veto GU the bill, bui
il is not on the strength Of the vetoed bill, that the
lottery Is to be drawn, bat in r~eniity on A grant
given 10 l834.to the County of Duyal, to raise By
mems Of a Lottery Of money or Real Estnse, tho
sum Of So 900. 10 build a Court Horse. This grant
the Commissioned sold to Messrs Schmidt & Ham
iltou, for s6. GOO, and it is upon that the Grand Re-
al Estate Lottery is 10 be drawn on the LIST Of De-
cember ncxf, in Jacksonville, Florida.
Bot IL is asked, why not draw Il in New Orleans,
il no fraud is intended I Because there was not
sufficient time TO obtain a grant in Louisiana before
the breaking up Of the Sennte. A bill for that pur-
pose bad passed The Legislature, but came up TOO
late to be got through tie Senate, and the rlopfi-
etors Of the Lottery not wishing 10 .ieay the draw
ing, then applied to Florida. where they ultimately
purchases the above mentioned grant Of 1884. II
must be immatcrial TO the public where the Loite-
~ be drawn, provided il be fairly and honestly CON
| dnc;ed. 1t Ought. we think, 10 be sni'icient 10 the
public IL other States, to know chat In this City.
