The Recent Lottery Drawings at
Louisville.

LUulbNllI6S
II seems strange that there should be
forty or fifty thousand people In the coun.
try foolish enough to invest on an average
dtty dollars apiece in a lottery on the mere
chance Of drawing one Of the very few
prizes that are In the wheel. And yet II
Is fact that forty.flve thousand tickets
were sold at fifty dollars apiece in the re.
cent Louisville lottery. How many were
sold here in Wheeling no one Of course
knows, but 1t would astonIsh US perhaps
Il we could ascertain the real number.
The;credulity Of human nature Is i'm.
mense, and gambling Is a natural pas
sion Of the soul. "All men think
All men mortal but Themselves" 30
in respect to gambling. 1t makes no
difference that 1t Is well known
fact to everybody OF the commonest In
telligence that the chance Of any one per-
son drawing prize In sale of forty.tve
thousand tickets Is absolutely infnitessl-
NAL; so much SO that he is about as liable
to be struck with lightning as to draw q
prize, The deluded shopper against hope
is nevertheless willing to become vic.
tim, and contributes his quota to support
the grand humbug. Humbug is very
mild word to use In referring 10 such q
miserable snare and deluaion. The Gin
cinnati Commercial pronounces it swim
Dupon the public, According to the ad.
vices Of that paper, there are now upon the
shelves Of the Library, in whose interest
this gambling scheme was prolessedly
gotten up, but about fifteen thousand vol.
umes, and these mainly worthless books.
And this, too, Notwithstanding there have
been three previous drawings Theque
ton is, where has the money gone tor
Another feature Of the drawing that
ought to arrest some attention is this:
The managers Of the drawing announc.
ed almost to the last moment that the
prizes would aggregate 81 500 600, this
sum being one.hslf the proceeds Of the
sale OF sixty thousand tickets. They
claim 10 have sold only forty-five thous-
and tickets, and therefore cut the prizes
down one.iourth: Nobody but the man
ayers can tell how many tickets were dis.
posed oil. In this vital regard there Is no
check upon them. They clam that they
destroyed the fifteen thousand tickets un.
sold, and that only forty.tive thousand
tickets went into the wheel. But II the
fifteen thousand tickets were destroyed,
the act was performed In strict privacy.
But allowing the drawing to have been
perIscty fair, and it Is not necessary to
provo otherwise, the tens OF thousands Of
victims who have fooled away their mon.
ey ought by this time to know that they
are bound to play losing game all the
way through In buying Lottery tickets. 1t
is precisely like playing at the sweat.
cloth, where multitudes lose in order that
there may be an occasional winner, only
that the sweat.clOth patron has an In
tultelY greater number of chances in his
favor than has the buyer Of lottery tick
cts.

President of County Court.

The County Court of jefferson has done
itself in our opinion great credit 10 the selec-
ton Of Col- Baylor, as presiding Justice lie
is gentleman Of cultivated intelligence aud
withal experienced in the duties devolying
upon him. We hope the Justices Of Berke-
ley, who will also be called upon at their
next term to make choice Of a president, will
be equally discreet, for upon theE selection Of
a gentleman, whose experience will enable
lim to conduct with honor and credit the
duties Of presiding justice, depends entirely
the continuance Of the system as now organ
lied. The people will not brook the putting
of any man in that position who Will turn the
Court into rilicule by bis Ignorance Of the
