The Richmond Wing says: LET Gov

the financial plank of the platform on
which he has been placed will inevitably
be incorporated into the National plat

year" Yes, and let all this come to pass
and the candidate nominated by that
convention and indorsing such financial
policy will be beaten, and serve him
right.

II would seem these much-praised
statesmen of by-gone times weren't such
models of political purity after all. Re-
Gently published memoirs of John Q uin-
cy Adams assert that De Witt Clinton at
one time made proposition to buy up
the New York Legislature in order to
secure its electoral vote. The Utica
Herald, speaking of the episode, re-
marks: 1.-The careful reading of the
private correspondence of men who long
since passed into that dowry of perpetual
paneRyric is constantly brought up by
illusions to some plot or proposition
which would politically damn its maker
if he lived in the atmosphere of to-day"

CITY HALL.

The fremen's parade in the Sixth District
drew largely upon the Hall yesterday. From
that source was drawn one of the marshals,
Administrator Landry, and several guests, in
the persons of Administrators Burke, Bertoi
and others.
Business about the Hall Is not just now SO
pressing, however, as to require extraordinary
attention, and day off can be INDUCED in by
city officials without serious consequences to
the public interest.
Great Expectations.
In all departments Of business, official and
otherwise, in the city, there seems to be q
season Of rest anticipatory of good to grow
out of the approaching session Of the Legis-
lature, hence everything hinges upon what
will be turned up on that occasion. This
desire "to wait and see prevails at the City
Hall to great extent, and there is rest on
the oars there on certain important questions
and measures.
Further consultation with the bondholders
has been postponed until after the adjourn
ment of the Legislature, as have been other
matters.
OF course this is quite proper, if there is
to be realized any important Legislative relief,
but that there will be is question concern
ing which there seems to exist anything but a
certainty.
The Mayor and Administrators have for
several days been engaged in consultation
relative to the measures affecting the city to
be proposed to the Legislature for action, but
nothing definite has been agreed upon.
The Mayors Department.
There appears to be no abatement in the
applications to the Mayor for free licenses and
other fapors, such as free passes etc. He has
not been subjected, probably, to the same
amount of annoyance as Major Burke within
the last two weeks, but has been importuned
in quite lively manner.
Department Of Police.
The Administrator of Police has been
favored with the following returns from the
Municipal Police Courts, for the week ending
Saturday, March 9th:

There must be some very important and
absorbing topic under discussion at the

of almost supernatural importance, inasmuch
as the Collector Office has been pretty etfectu-

Representatives from the BULLETIN have been
utterly unable to pierce to the inner sanctuary,
and if the public business OF the Custom

WAR ON ILLEGAL LOTTERY TICKET
VENDORS.

Private Special Dumas has been lately
waging war upon those vendors of lottery
tickets not legalized by the State OF Louisi-
ana. Hearing Of one L. Moths, who had
several kinds Of these tickets in his possession
and for sale, Dumas dispatched man
Yesterday to hold an interview with Moths,
and to purchase some tickets from him in
order to be sure that the suspected party had
violated the law.
True to the appointment, the lottery ticket
vendor met the man, and sold him some
Havana tickets The man then told him to
meet him at the corner Of Baronne and Poy-
dras streets, and he would purchase more
tickets from him. Accordingly they again
met, and there the man bought tickets in .
Texas lottery from the vendor.
At this juncture officer Dumas stepped in
and took Moths, the vendor, in charge, con-
Quoting him to the Central Station, where the
prisoner was searched and some forty odd
tickets Of different kinds found upon him.
The German tickets were Of Brunswick. Sax
ony. Luneburg and several Texas and Havana
tickets. Dumas then made affidavit against
the accused for violation of Act No. 8, in
reference to the sale Of illegal lottery tickets.
Moths was brought before Judge Evans,
and plead guilty to the first charge, and
placed under bonds, but failing to furnish
them he was sent to the Parish Prison, there
| to await his trial

What DIR. Hall Thinks of the
Tramp.

DIR. Hall of New York has been
discussing tramps from a theolog-
ical, practical standpoint, and says
that they are not always ragged
and rough fellows, who fill timid
women with dread and consterna-
ton and secure a meal from a far
mer through fear that his barn
will be burned to ashes. There are
religious tramps, like the man
who calls to know who was Da-
vid's mother, and borrows a dol
lar. There are "medical" tramps
who lifts six months in a place,
extract all the money they Can
and go in search of new Victims
There are legal tramps who swim
die under forms of law, and live on
the gullability of their fellows -
There are commercial tramps,
who know the bankrupt laws of
many State, and ought to know
their prisons. There are political
trains, who cajole and threaten al
ternately for the living which an
unappreciative country would de-
ny them.
