AND STILL THEY CoME.-From the Marysvlle
Appeal we learn that Nevada county, having sue
ceeded so well with the School benefit, proposes
getting up another lottery this time it will be
for the purpose of building a railroad from Grass
Valley and Nevada City to Colfax. Prizes are
to be distributed to the amount of $500, 900, and
the largest will be $25, 900. 1t is said that the
ratio of prizes and tickets will be such that the
ticket holders will have some chance to win. OF
course; we never knew of lottery or even a
Faro or Monte Bank where people did not have
some chance to win. But then, these last men
toned institutions are games Of chance" and
to invest our money in such would be considered
gambling ~ We are not that kind of people
we belong to church-we would be highly in
dignant should any one insinuate that we would
accept of any amount of @ filthy lucre ~ which
might be obtained by such an unlawful method.
These Gift Enterprises-g gotten up for the express
benefit Of some "worthy public institution -
are different; we don't expect to via anything (;
we merely purchase tickets because it is a charity
to dd so. Bosh We like to take desperate
chances we want to become suddenly rich we
are all gamblers but we have not the moral cour-
age to acknowledge it, young lady will not
be seen keeping company with young man who
would so debase himself at to take q seat at the
gaming table, but she wilr dote upon another
who will spend his last dollar in buying lottery
ticket for her. Many of us purchased our winter
supplies on credit others have not been able to
get any at all and may suffer for the want of food
and clothing before Spring but that makes no
difference, wen each of us contribute our mite
towards building railroad in one of the richest
counties in the State. Send on your tickets we
are eager TO buy some. Verify, with us, every
thing goes"
THE Call is agitating the question of estab-
1lishing q work-house, in San Francisco, for the
benefit of criminals convicted of petty larceny
and other oifenses that are punishable by impris-
onment in the County Jail 1t argues that such
prisoners should be made to bring in some rove-
nue. to the city rather than be source of great
expense.
