ALEXANDRIA, VA, Oct. 1.-The Ga--
cite SAYS the committee of ticket holders
appointed to examine the tickets remaining
in the wheel after the drawing Of the Mont
pelier Female Humane Association last
Friday morning met this morning in the
room of the Association, in which the
wheel. after it had been closed and scaled
was deposited for safe keeping when the
drawing was over. ~ soon rs the wheel
was seen it was apparent that at least a
bushel of brass tubes containing tickets had
been put in since it left the stand, for they
were at least put upon the wheel previously
by one of the ticket holders though the
seal was unbrollen, and had the same
stamps that had been put upon it publicly.
They were those of the butt end of knife
and current gold coin, which could easily
have been put upon anew, and upon an In.
vestigation which ensued twas discovered
that the arrangement of the drawing had
been intrusted solely to parties from New
York, and that all the money arising from
the sale Of tickets, except some six or
eight thousand dollars, had been left in
New York, and was not subject to the draft
Of the officers of the Association. The par
ties present then appointed committee to
proceed at once to New York and endeavor
to recover such of the money as could be
gotten hold of. After this they adjourned
to meet again tonight. The excitement on
the street in consequence of this discovery
was by no means limited, aud the subject
was the topic Of general, serious CONVEX
sation. 1t is tbelieved that not a single dol
lar was drawn by any bona iide ticket
holder, hut that the whole of it has been
swamped by New York sharpers, who are
accused Of the whole fraud.
