Prayer by Rev. Mr.. Gould.
On motion of Mr.. Gray, of st. James, the
reading of the journal WAS dispensed with.
The Speaker expressed his desire before
signing bill No. 66 to have entered upon the
journal the following protest. which on mo.
ton of Mr.. Kent, of st. Helena, was so or.
dered. a ~ r.".-.., e-zL r.
desire to place upon the journal of the
House my objections to House bill No. sc,
entitled an act to increase the revenues of
the State, and to authorize the Incorporation
and establishment of the Louisiana State
Lottery company, and to repeal certain acts
now in force. I.g4 "a. .
The bill legalizes and sanctions what
consider great wrong, fosters immortality
and vice.. and encourages crime; lotteries
never being productive of any good, but
always conducive to evil, robbing the poor
by their seductive charms and infatuations.
Ihls Dill creates monstrous monopoly
without any safeguard or assurance that 1t
will not be abused immeasurably. If lot.
terry is to be established by law there should
be board of control to examine and super
wise the conduct of the same. BY the
provisions of this bill wholesale robbery
can be committed without restriction.
The House passed the bill when there
was no quorum present in the bar of the
House, undertaking themselves TO adjudge
what quorum consisted of, when the con-
stitution expressly states that majority of
the members of the House shall be neces-
sary for quorum; aud the same constitu,
ton says that the House of Representatives
shall be composed of l0l members.
