THE GREAT BOSTON LOTTERY.
A Neat Syyindlc-The Man who Droyv
the Coliseum Pays only Sixteen Cents
for his Ticket.

A Boston dispatch OF Monday. to the New

The man who drew the Coliseum has OBJ
tanned sudden notoricty which will probably
be as brief as it is intense, though 1t may In
crease his trade by advertising ms wares. All
through Saturday afternoon and Sunday the
peope were in q feverish state OF anxiety to
know the name of the fortunate man; and now
that II has been ascertained that his name is j.
l.. Mcguire, and that he is lumber dealer"
the matter has q suspicious look. An investl-
CATION showed, and it is publicly announced,
That he. with others, entered into an arrange
ment with the Coliseum Association TO pur-
chase, on Saturday morning, all OF the tickets
which had not been sold ct That time. 1t Is
said that he paid Si1tecn cents apiece for the
tickets. purchasing for that sum about five
thousand, while thousands Of people had paid
one dollar apiece for all that had been sold pre-
yiOus to that time. 1t is said that "other par
ticsn who were in partnership with Mr. Ma
r,lirc will have their share of the $4,000, for
which the lumber will sell, if taken by the
builders; but as Mr.. NJ. is q lumber dealer he
will probably dispose of the component parts
of the structure TO much better advantage in
his own lumber yard. Much Indignation Is
EXPRESSED among the disappointed ticket
holders, who are convcrsant with the facts,

for one dollar and another for sixteen cents is

The Case OF General Butterfie ield-Grant's
Reputation Involved I'm the Matter

The Case OF General Butterfie eld-Grants
Reputation Involved I'm the Matter
A Limit to the Patience OF the People.
From the Evening Post, October 25.l
General Butterfeld may ask to be court
martialled, and the President may, If he likes,
grant his request. But in the meantime But
terrified ought at once to resign the place of
Sub-Treasurer; and il he does not the Presi-
dent ought to suspend him. General Butter
field demands to be tried by q military court;
who is to prefer charges against him The
President of the United States But If the
President formally charges him with malieas-
ance In office Is he not bound to suspend him
from Office until the charges are disproved
The eXpedient Of trial by court-martial
looks suspicious to the public and is ir-
REGULAR. and smacks too much of mill
tary despotism 10 be relished by Tree
people. The civil officers of a free State
ought not to be able thus to protect themselves
behind court Of military officers; 1t is bad
precedent which General Butterfield seeks to
set; one which may lead in time to the gravcst
and most dangerous abuses. The President
should be told by his friends that he ought not
to cause public scandal by retaining General
Butterfleld in the place which he holds. The
appointment of military officers to purely civil
service is in itself praiseworthy custom.
There was general impression that, on ac-
ceptinS the SuD-treaSufersnp, EutteFnelu nau
resigned his place in the army. Certainly he
ought to have done so; and if any one had as
serted, when General Butterlied took charge
of the treasury, that he would, when charged
with misconduct, seek refuge in q military
court, the public t would hay have ,dss been Ii in
led into making some poor appointments;
such as that Of General Slckles to Spain,
that of Mr.. Washburne to France, and now
this of General Buttertield. He has so firm q
hold of the public confidence that the people
have been willing to overlook such mistakes
but they have not forgotten them and it Is
not prudent in the President to put too greata
strain upon the peoples beler in him. TO ap-
point all unfit man TO place is what probably
every Presid' mt may 70, and is excusable.
But to keep m IN in place after his unlitness
has become matter Of public notoricty is
more than any 8, President will venture on.
We trust, therefore, that the report Is true
which comes to us from Washington, that the
administration is ROW celebrating upon a fit
person 10 relieve General Butterileld. Il need
not deliberate long It can choose from seve-
lal eminent citizens .: the necessary business
skill,
