1t is not probable that the amount of sickness

| 1t is not probable that the amount OF SICKNESS
bred in cellars can ever be accurately estimated,
but there is no doubt that many mysterious cases
Of disease may be directly traced to the malarious
effluvia emanating from these neglected corners.
Old boxes, bins and barrels, which have contained
vegetable matter, meat, fish &C., need thorough
overhauling because when standing in dark
corner, they look empty, and there may be enough
poison left sticking the sides and bottom to af-
feet the health of the household. The work of
cleansing is often left to the women and boys Of
the family, but man had much better leave his
work day to make thorough examination
and publication of the cellar. After all garbage
is carried out, let the ceilings and walls be faith
fully brushed with an old broom; and if this is
done once month, the atmosphere will be ell the
swecter Use plenty of lime and in dry weather
keep the doors and windows open a part Of every
day.

GOVERNOR AMHs, of Mississippi and his
minions are determined to keep alive the
color line, and in that way feed hostility
between the races to such an extent that it
will aid in his election. Just as his recent
hasco was whitening the negroes at Friar's
Point have risen in arms and threatened
to plllage and burn the place. On satur-
day, Senator Alcorn in a political speech,
criticised severely colored politician
named Brown, who is candidate for re-
election to the office Of Sheriff. Brown was
not allowed to respond then for fear that #
would lead to bloolshed, but at a meeting
on Monday, he addressed the colored men
and SO fired their hearts with INDIGNATION

LOTTERIES, GAMBLING AND

Inc temptations that lotteries offer prove

sums from the pockets Of the people. And
while apparently conducted upon sound
basis, are the greatest schemes of swind-

prize package concerns upon large scale
Exposures have been made of them repeat
edly i'll which glaring frauds were shown
10 have existed in the drawings, but not
withstanding this there seems to be an in
1atuation about them to large numbers that
Is Irresistible. This infatuation consists in
the dream of making a fortune in bold
streak of luck, which will avert the ncces-
slty of wolk, and bring riches and case
without having to struggle for it. In Vir-
sinia, at Alexandria, one of these swindlcs
known as the drawing of the Montpelier
Female Humane Association has just been
discovered to contain nothing but Hanks
in the wheel, and fifty thousand dollars
have been realized by those who arranged
the scheme. Baltimore was at one time n

several million dollars was carried on by
those engaged in it. But the Sun of that

The examination of James, Thomas and
Lawrence Goodwin on the charge Of beat.
ing and inaictihg fatal injuries on theil
aged father, at No. % Railroad avenue,
Jersey City, took place yesterday before
Justice Reese. Lawrence made the fol-
lowing statement:-Last Friday week
ago, when I came home from work I was
met in the hall by my mother and sister
Annie, who told me that my father and
Thomas Then fighting; went in and
saw IN sitting at window
and bleeding profusely from a
wound in his head; father was stand
ing in the door of the room and was call
ing Thomas dead wife all sorts of names !;
there was no blood on father james was
standing in the middle Of the room;
father and Thomas were drunk; James
was not 80 bad, but nearly SO; Thomas
shirt was torn; so was fathers; I went up
to the old man and quieted him; James
went out, and as soon as had my supper
l went out as I did not want
to have anything to do with them; father
was taken sick the following Monday and
complained q great deal; he was arrested
several times for drunkenness; when in
toxicated he was very quarrelsome.
Thomas Goodwin testified I remem-
Der the fight last Friday; when I went
home my father was noisy and struck me
with something; l did not strike him; l |
was drunk, but I knew what was doing;
Lawrence was there and told me I ought
to be ashamed to act SO; don't remember
about father being kicked at that
time. -.
James was then called on for a state
ment, and he said that he heard the old
man "jawing" Thomas, and saw him rush
1t him. Thomas called on James to take
he old man away. James did 40 and placed
he old man in the bedroom. Lawrence
vas thereupon discharged by Justice Keese

From the New York World.
Andrew j. Odell, an elderly merchant O.
this city, became enamored, in 1873, o.
Annie +. Tracy, well-preserved lady Of
fifty, who then resided in Connecticut. The
only obstacle to their connubia' felicity
was the fact that thirty years before Mrs.
Tracy had married Wm. II. Tracy and he
was still living. Odell consulted law
yer, and furnished money to carry on d.
vorce suit on behalf of Mrs. Tracy, in
Connecticut, for abandonment, A decree
OF divorce was entered on the 18th of Oc-
tober, 1873, and two days after Odell and
the former Mrs. Tracy were married. His
ardor soon cooled, however, and he sought
the aid Of the law in this State to sever the
marital bonds, on the ground that she had
another husband living at the time they
were entered into. He claimed that the
divorce he had helped Mrs. Tracy obtain
was void, because she had obtained it by
fraud, she not having resided in the State
Of Connecticut three years, as the law re-
quired. The case was tried before .Jud,e
Van Brunt, in Supreme Court, Chambers
who decides that if there was anv fraud
Mr.. odell was party to it, and cannot now
complain Of it. If the judgment was
binding in Connecticut, it was everywhere
else, and it could not be set aside excent
Tor fraud upon the party seekius to avoid
It. Where a judgment was in force in one
State, it could not be attacked in any other
state Tor any cause by person not party
o the record; and in this case it could not
'e attacked even by Tracy himself, as he
lad personal notice Of the institution Of
ne suit. Any ether decision, Judge Van !;
5runt says would lead to this strange con-
ltlon OF affairs, that in Connecticut tbe j,
marriage between the parties would bc /
aid, whereas in New York it would m bo &

Twu emurceu.tnsr made their offences
amenable to a fine Of not less than five
hundred nor more than ten thousand dol,
lars, and be imprisoned for !
term not exceeding three years. Thus
lotteries were driven from the
State, and it had been thought that with II
went all the paraphernalia Of gambling
shops, but in this we have discovered tha
we were very much mistaken, for to-day
Wilmington is delu ,ed by nest Of policy
and gambling shops, that are more daHag-
ing to the good morals of the city than all
the lotteries could be. But even with the
departure Of lotteries, all traces of it have
not disappeared, as in the very heart of the
city the rattle of the printing press is daily
heard, turning out thousands of lottery
tickets to be distributed over the United
States.
If war is to be made upon one species Of
gambling, then why not all? Why should
one crime be preferred to another? Are
not policy shops and gambling dens as
much an injury to the welfare Of our COM
monwealth as lotteries? If they are not,
then we should be pleased to have the diff
ference pointed out to us. If gambling is
not crime then the gamblers have per-
feet right to the protection of the law,
which it would almost seem that they were
receiving, as they have never been molest-
ed, though we have repeatedly pointed out
where they exist and how they can be got
zen at. II they are no more than an inno-
'ent amusement, then they prove no blot
o the escutcheon Of the city. But they
ire not. They have been the prime cause
# more than one wasted fortune; they have t
lied more than one drunkard's grave !
hey have wrung more hearts than one a
18th grief over the fallen husband or the 81
chased son. They are the foulest blot to- n
ay upon the name of our city; and then p
icy wish to know why we expose them. n
'e will tell them. 1t is to drive them "
Ike the lotteries from our midst. To strike
honest blow for the good of morality.
. consign them by the force of law to do l.
honest days work, ard not, vulture I'll
ze, feed upon the wrecks of others. We OF
we begun the war and we intend that it
all be kept up until all that we have said th
$ been realized for the good of the city til
i the State. H.
