We copy the following article from the
Bee Ofyesterday. at the request of Messs.
Schmidt & Hamilton, and do so with much
pleasure, as we agree with our contempora-
n in every respect concerning Il.
N B.-Messrs. Schmidt 8 Hamilton, re-
quest all Editors throughout the United
States who may have inserted the SANDER
Gus article against the Grand Real Estate
Lottery, written by s. j. Sylvester, the bro
theF Of Sylvester who is agent for this Lot
teTy, to give to give the article published in
the Bee, of which the following is copy,
one insertion in their paper, and send their
account to New Orleans for collection.
GRAND REAL ESTATE LOTTERY.
Having had our attention drawn to an ar
ticle in 8. ]. SylVester's Reporter, tending
Il throw discredit on the above lottery,
which article is copied, at his request; in
many papers throughout the United States,
and feeling some interest in the success Of
the undertaking, because we believe it tobe
fairly and honorably conducted, we have
taken some pains to make inquiry, and find
that the article alluded to, contains several
erroneous statements, which we deem il
proper to rectify, inasmuch as the property
at sake is situated in new Orleans.
The statement purports to be grounded
an IN article first published in the Journal
Of Commerce, on the 18th Of June, and on
another in the Florida Herald on the 30th
of May.
In the FIRST of these articles, it is asserted
that the prizes which are put up at 81 500
600 are not worth that amount, and certain
y it is well known that II is customary to
value property in lottery over its real
worth; for how else could the expense be
defraycda Il is true that the scheem price
Of the tickets is @l5, aud the selling price
$50; but the difference between these sums
forms the profit Of the managers, agents, and
Isub-agepts. The same paper goes on to
say that the prices of bank stock are not
worth their assumed price; but that paper
probably overlooked ii the scheme the an
nouncement that those prizes were payable
in cash if required, giving the winners the
choice to take the if it be worth premium,
land some Of them are now worth Is to 90
per cent, premiuml, or the cash at par for
those underpar.
The Florida Herald says, that the mana
gers have no right to draw in Florida. It is
true, that grant past the legislative assem-
bly, Of Florida permitting Messrs. Schmidt
& Hamilton to draw lottery Of real estate
situated in New Orleans, and that the Gov
ernor put his veto on the bill; but it is not
on the strength Of the vetoed bill, that the
lottery is to be drawn, but in reality on a
grant given in 1884, to the county of Duval
to raise by means Of lottery of money or
real estate, the sum Of SIS 900, to build a
court house. This grant the commissioners
sold to Messrs. Schmidt s. Hamilton, for
So 5000, and itisupon it that the Grand Real
Estate Lottery is to be drawn on the lst of
December next, in Jacksonville, Florida.
