A Fortunate Man.

The successful holder of the ticket in
the Mercantile Library Lottery of San
Francisco is Mr.. Hellman, of the New
Orleans branch of the firm of J. & w.
Seligman {; Co. in New York city. The
circumstances Of the winners fortunate
posse ssion of the ticket are little singu-
lar. Mr.. Worsmer, Of the firm OF VIM.
Meyer Sc Co. of New York and San Fran
cisco, purchased one hundred tickets from
the lottery committee for himself and Ger
man friends. which were duly distributed.
Mr.. Hellman Was to have been counted in
the distribution, but was making q tour of
the fashionable watering places when the
distribution Of tickets took place by Mr..
Worsmer. When he applied for tickets he
found they were all disposed of, but MIR.
E. Fl. Briederman spared him one from
his lot. This ticket won the 100000
prize. Mr.. Briederman drew the success
full ticket out of his lot for Mr.. Hellman.
Mr.. 3 originally held twenty tickets pur'
chas, at cost of 500, apA this remain
ing nineteen tickets drew that sum. These
show the popularity OF for
tune. But there is something to be made
out of lotteries after all.

From the Richmond Dispatch.
The Memory of Lee.
ORGANIZATIONO OF THE LEE MON
UNENT ASSOCIA TON.
EX-PRESIDENI DAVIS.

The meeting of Confederate soldiers and
sailors held at the First Presbyterian
Church in Richmond Thursday night, was
very largely attended. Indeed, the crowd
was so great that many were turned away
for lack of accommodations. The body OF
the church was occupied by the soldiers
and sailors, and the galleries by such spec
tators as arrived early enough to secure
seats.
TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION.
At7I O'Clock the meeting was called to
order by General Bradley 7. johnson, who
proposed the following temporary organ
ization
President Maj. Gen. Jubal A. Early, of Vir
ginia.
Secretari. O. @. Lawson. Capt George
Walker. and Sergeant George L. Christian.
These nominations were received with
applause, and unanimously carried.
General Early then took the chair. He
was clad in the old Confederate gray, which
he has never forsaken since the Oonfeder-
ate flag went down at Appomattox.
On taking the Chair General Early de-
hyered most impressive address.
Rev. DIR. Minnigerode was then called
to the pulpit, and offered up fervent
prayer.

.ears of the loss Of party power and party
patronage. When that paper. or any
other, attempts to answer our estimate of
the great saving. even the first yess, by
change in our organic law. whioh every
honest tax payer approves. then We will
consider that they are honest in their OBJ
lection to a call of Convention upon the
score of economy.
The expenses Of the Convention will be
less than thirty thousand dollars. The
State will save the amount IN one year by
aboEishing useless offices alone. BY an i'm
mediate return to the old court system ii
will save in ono year ten times the amount
necessary to hold Convention. Those
who urge delay in this matter uuwittingly
aid the Raleigh Standard in its efforts to
hamper the Conservative party 80 that the
people will be disappointed with their VIC
tory. The voters of North Carolina expect
something more of the Legislature than
merely not to steal the public moneys
They demand a decrease in the ordinary
expenses Of the government. and security
that thieves cannot again steal their funds
and appropriate their revenues. LII we re-
gard the reasonable demands OF our PEG
pie we can then invite the co operation OF
foreigners to help US re tore the prosperity
of North Carroll Ia. If we attach our own
people to our State government we can
induce others to believe that it is admins
tered with justice and economy. Through
the doors of Convention alone can we
find relief from our present difficulties, and
the sooner our people become satisfied Of
this fact the better it will be for North
| Carolina.

Having read the report of this Grand jury

the buildng in which this Court is held, and the

I concur fully in the statement there mace ID

for public use. except for customs. and reveneus;
that as Court building, know of no other 30
unsuited in it's construction az well as location.
It is my opinion that the public interest and con-
venience would be subserved by sale of this
PROPERTY and the erection of another building IN

It is believed that this property if sold, will com

We present below to OR readers pa
per submitted to His Honor, Judge Brooks,
by the grand jury at the present term OF
the U. S. District Court, regarding the
sale of tho Government building in which
are now located the District Court
Room, Post Office, and Offices of the Col
lectors of Customs and Internal Beyenue.
It will be seen, also, that His Honor has
appended his cordial endorsement. The
removal of the Post Office from its present
locality is something which has long and
heartily been desired by the community,
and we are consequently much pleased
with this action Of the grand jury and
Judge Brooks approval, and trust it may
attain the desired end:
To the Honorable George W. Brooks, Judge of
TIE Disrtc Court Of The United States for the

and for the Court OF the United States for the
District aforesaid, is nov "a condition requir-
ing extensive repairs. particularly SO far as the
roof and upper portion of this building is con-
ceTned. In consideration OF the present condi-
ton OF this building, and the fact that the need
full repairs thereon will involve the expenditure
OF considerable amount Of money, We beg leave
to suggest to yoar Honor, with the hope that
our suggestions may be communicated to the
proper authorities of the United States, the Pre-.
priety of sale of the lot and premises referred
to, aud the purchase OF lot in . portion Of the
city of Wilmington and the erection thereon of
buildings more suitable than this for the accom-
mediation of the public. who are all interested
in the various offices now kept in the buildin g
referred to. We are well assured that the entire
public sentiment Of Wilmington is in opposition
to the present location for most of the public
offices required for the of the United States.
and 30 tar the postofce is concerned, it is the
subject of daily denuncation by all classes, but
more particularly by the females OF the city who
are required from day to day to make visits 20

YOU know an not speaking man, and
YOU mast therefore excuse me from max
ing o speech on this occasion. II affords
me, however, pleasure 10 meet once more
so many Of the people of Virginia and go
many comrades in arms. But with the
pleasure Of mixing with you is mingled the
sOrrowful reflection that we have also
come together to N ourn the loss and pay
tribute to the memory OF our great and be-
loved cbieftain, General Early closed his
remarks with q touching allusion to Gen
eral Lee, after which there were Gals for
GENERAL PENDLEToN,
who said that on such an occasion it was
unsuitable for him to say more than a
word. He vas fresh from the tomb of one
whom we almost wor5hipped, and be could
only speak, if lie did speak, in zones of
unutterab!e aadDs SIS. It is right and pro-
per that we should ever keep in mind not
only what he was, but what he represent
ed, and never forget to initiate his great
example.
Colonel ROBERT E. WITHERs.
There were here loud calls for Colonel
