The Courier.J vurnsl publishes this morning the

the president was appraised Of his appointees hav-
ing been once indicted for smuggling. and, there.
fore. thought him the better qualified to detect
others who might engage in similar practices.
A bout the wear 1856 as we are Informed, Long
street, being major in the United states army.
and in command Of military post on the Ameri-
can side of theiRio Grande, was indicted N the
District Court O. the United States, for the Terri
tory of New Mdxico, for the crime OF smuggling
but when the United States marshal went 10 the
fort to execuls the process Of said court, tne
gates were closed against him, and he hao 10 re-
turn without executing II.
1.-THE msrshsE having reported these facts TO tho
then governor Of the territory he made appiica-
ton to Gen. G3rland, who commanded that mill
tary district I'd have Longstreet surrendered 10
the civil authorfies for trial. but as Longstreet
was relative bf the general he evaded the appli-
cation of the Governor, and ordered a court OF
inquiry 10 investigate the matter This court,
composed Of lbs brother officers, found Longstreet
guilty, butstheigeneral disspproved OF the finding
OF the couyt efld the matter was settled by MS
giving pledge to the civil officers that there
should be no Smuggling the part Of the military
Hence we iDfeF that Grant, knowing that Long

which offehdeJb might slip, thought him suitable

PANIC AMONG THE INDIAN RIsG.-The Indian
ringr are in q state of excitement over the dis
covery OF the fact that Gen. Cox, the new secre-
tary Of the interior. is in full sympathy with the
military policy for treating the Indians. This.
they understand, involves an enure change 10 the
personnel of the department on all Indian affairs,
aud the result will be that il the control of the In
diana cannot be transferred to the war depart
ment, the war policy OF control will be transferred
TO the interior department. No new name for
commissioner OF Indian affairs has yet been agreed
upon, though q very strong impression prevails
that Col. Ely g. Parker, Of Gen. Grants stat. q
highly accomplished officer of Indian blood. will
be selected for the duties of that position. There
would be peculiar fitness In this. bis extensive
knowledge Of the habits, wants and requisite
treatment of the Indians, combined with rare sa-
Pacity and Judgment would have great weight in
fixing the basis on which to rest the settlement Of
the Indian question.

$50 600 FOR sl2.-Listen every one and give ear
while we explain to you how the words which head
this paragraph may become sober truths-and the
way that they may be realized Is this: On Satur-
day next 9th inst the first dra wing of the single
number scheme of the Louisiana State Lottery
Company will take place IN this city. The prizes
IN this lottery, six hundred in number range from
$4,000 to 500, and, as we have said, are to be
awarded TO the fortunate holders of tickets, which
cost only sl2. This is certainly short way of at
tanning wealth at stride, but it has, in many in
stances, proved q very sure one. The company
itself is home institution and its officers and Dir
rectors are all men well known in the community,
thus assuring the holder of a winning ticket q
certainty of having his prize cashed Immediately.
An important item to be taken into consideration
in connection with this lottery is the fact that the
prizes are all paid icitoat deduction, and there
fore, when the prizesare placed at certain figures,
winners Of them can rely upon obtaining all the
money they draw. There are now bat two days,
to-day and tomorrow left, in which tickets can be
bought. as the drawing is to be made on Saturday,
and on that day. therefore, no tickets will be sold.
So, worshppers at the shrine Of the tickle goddess
il You intend to again burn incense before her
make haste in your devotions, for there are bu'
two more days that can be dedicated to her ser
vice. II you wish to invest sl2, or So or less yet
50, and have an interest in the drawing of Satur
day you must do 30 to-day or tomorrow. Later
will be too late.
