A Lottery Swind!c.

The following is from the Jackson
ClariN, Of the 10th:
The age is prolific in lottery schemes,
but there is one at Columbus, Ohio,
styled the 'Franhlin Benefit Associa-
tion,' under the auspices Of Gen, John
A. Logan, as President, that caps the
climax in the way ofsystcmatic rascal
ity at least one Of the agents, and
claims to be domiciled AT New Bloom.
ington, Marion county, Ohlo, is Ger
tainly a very ingenious swindlcr, rs we
shall show.
About Il month since the said An
drcws sent sumdry circulars OF the AS
sociation, with sample ticket to 4
lady in this vicinity, which she was re
qucstcd to buy or dispose of, The
ticket was numbered 1850, A few days
AGO this lady received letter from All,
lrews stating that the ticket had drawn
prize Of five hundred dollars which
he would obtain for her on certain con
di.ions. Oicoursc she WAS delighted
and told her friends. But It seems
that her sister had received Il similar
letter. and ticket Of The same number;
and ON inquiry it turns out that there
are quite n number Of persons in this
yicjnitywho have drawn 'ha five hnnd-
red dollar prze-all with ticket
1880.
Here is the very artfri way in which
Mr.. John l.. Andrews runs his swin0lr.
ing machine, and which we give the
benefit of'our circulation free gratis,
without even the hope Of getting a
ticket numbered 1850;

BALTIMORE Police COMMISSIONERS Jas.
Young and William T. Valiant have been
commissioned as the new Police Commission
ers, of Baltimore and were swoln!bcfore Judge
Martin, of the Superior Couri. There was no
opposition offered to their being sworn. The
counsel for the old Commissioners decided that
they would offer no impeachment to their taking
the oath.
The new Police Commissioners called at the
Police Commission Office, but the Boara had
adjourned.
The latest report in regard to the Police
Commissioners is that the newly appointed
Commissioners will make formal demand for
the surrender to them of all the station-houses
and other properly, together with the arms
belonging to the force. This demand is fu:
Their said will be, supported ndcnforced by the
sheriff with large posse. The demand it is
understood will be refused, and the Colnmis
sioners will announce their determination to
submit only to the decision OF the court.
They have sworn in a large number of spe-
cial policemen, which they suppose will be
superior to any force the claimants will be able
to summon to enforce the demand AL is
quiet and it is hoped that the whole matter
will yet be settled without any disturbance of
the public peace.
The following proclamation has been issued
by the newly appointed Commissioners:

WHAT should we think il, after an inn
por,ant and exciting debate in Congress,
the mob of Washington were to gather
about the gates of the Capitol for the ex-
press purpose Of bullying the obnoxious
members as they came out for their din
nerss We are lectured go sharply and
stoutly by English newspapers and mag
azines about our prevailing demagogy and
popular excuses, that it wouldn't be hu-
manly natural for US not TO take notice
that ga congregation Of the people" on
the 9th ult., after the Reform debate,
gathered outside the Houses Of Parlia-
ment to groan Sir John Pakington, to hiss
Lord Dunkellin, to boot Mr.. Whiteside,
and to groan. hiss and boot poor Dizzy,
to say nothing Of the cheers bestowed
upon Mr.. Gladstone, John Bright and
Lord Russell. Now and then, we have a
little irregular applause in the galleries Of
Congress, but it is understood to be both
irregular and intolerable; the Serseant-at-
Arms goes up without a moments delay.
and usually, upon motion, the galleries
are cleared-a process in which ven the
most enthusiastic culprits quietly ac-
quiesce. One reason for this is that, how
ever high public feeling may run, we have
q plenty Of safety-valves-the newspaper,
the caucus, the frequent popular election,
and perfect liberty Of speech. It may
seem paradoxical, but 1t is non the less
true in fact, that the masses, being the
creators Of Congress, as q general rule in
that their handiwork shall be respect
fully considered. Members OF Congress
are sometimes poor creatures but, until
they are regularly turned out, the worst
them are decently treated-not for
their own sakes, but to keep up the re-
s~pecsability Of the service; while an Eng
lish mob, the most insolent in the world,
does not care two-pence. when its blood
