The well known English political agita.or,
Charles Bradlaugh, who came to this city from
London about six months ago, yesterday returned
to Europe by the Cunard steamship Java. small
party Of gentlemen, with whom Mr.. Bradlaugh has
acquired an mountaineering during his stay In
this country, visited the Java to bid him fare
well. Mr.. BradauRh is an aristocratic demo-
crat, for during his stay In this city he has
stopped at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and he took
passage on vessel where tickets in the cabin call
for q very high price, Before his departure from
the Fifth Avenue Hotel q handsome cane
was presented to him by some mem
chiefly OF the English nationality. Short
addresses were made, and the recipient and the
donors parted in a state OF excellent good humor.
Mr.. Bradaugh goes home to contest the election
for the borough Of Northampton, for which con-
test writs have already been issued. Mr.. Brad
laugh Ia reported to have declared to some OF his
newly made friends in this city that the leaders OF
the worktngmen's movement In America were
very fanatical aud that they were tainted with
socialistc infamies, and that they had refused to
listen to him as 10 what should be done to further
the social progress of the workingman. 1t is ru-
mOred that the mission Of the famous agtatOr to
this country has been total failure ana that the
proceeds OF the sales OF tickets Tor his lectures
have been exceedingly small.

For several days past popular lottery has been
running upon Chestnut street, under the name Of

almost all the leading cities Of the Union the city
OF Boston being the last place the company hailed
from. The company nave been doing an I'm

vicinity Immediately surrounding their place OF
business being crowded with factory girls and the
laboring classes generally to such an extent as to
block up the sidewalk and preclude travel. After
thoroughly investigating the concern Mayor
Stokely pronounced 1t gambling and fraudulent
anar, and ordered the proprietor, Flint
Peaslee, to close up giving. him suf1cient
time, however, to redeem all claims. FAN.
ing to close At the appointed time,
Peaslee was arrested for Keeping a lottery" and
for appearance at court. Alter being taken to
jail he secured his bail and at once reopened the
lottery. Tonight the police, under Sergeant
Krout made q raid upon the place, took out every
thing in 1t, along with the gay nags, banners and
gaudy commentators which hung upon the out
side. Peasee was rearrested, put under addi-
tiOnal bail OF 81, 500 and Is now in cell at the
