many fortunate ones; but those who depend
upon the interest of their bonds for their liv-
ing would scarcely be comforted when they
discovered that tickle fortune left them out in
the cold year after year for quarter or half
century. The most serious obstacle, howev-
er, and the one that it would seem quite i'm
possible to overcome, is the fact that the
proposition, however excellent it may be,
is in direct contravention of q criminal
statute of the State which makes it punish
able offense for any person or corporation to
vend lottery tickets in this State except the
company which has secured monopoly OF
the business from the State, by paying an
annual bonus.
The Supreme Court has passed upon this
contract, and has sustained it, SO that, what
ever may be our individual opinions concerning
it,, we must accept the fact and recognize the
further fact that this corporation would
scarcely permit any such encroschment- upon
its franchises as is contemplated by this
Premium Bond Scheme.

THE GRAND FINANCIAL BUBBLE.

The proposition of the Administrator OF
Finance to solve the financial difficulties OF
the city by the adoption of what is called the
Premium, Bond Scheme, but which is really a
tombola or lottery, is open to several very Sc
rious and, we think, insurmountable objec-
tons. In the first place q suit has been or
is about to be instituted in the United States
Circuit Court, by Mr. Layten, President
of the Southern Bank and agent
of consolidated bondholders in Eu-
rope, which denies the validity of
all bonds issued by the city, except such as
have been submitted to a vote Of the people,
and the Inauguration of this scheme might
saddle the city with obligations that the
courts, at some future time, would hold to be
no. binding. This Of itself will have very
deterrent influence upon people otherwise
in lined to think favorably of the Premium
Bond Scheme. Then under the plan
holders of premium bonds may have to
wait fifty years before they see either
principal or interest," whereas the same
sum invested otherwise would realize

TIME TO CHANGE.

The New York Sun closes scathing article
on the whisky frauds and Grant in the follow
ing forcible manner:
The Army Ring. the Custom House Ring,
the Washington Ring, the Straw-bid Ring,
the Navy Ring, the Land grabbing Ring,
and all the other corrupt combinations, re-
volve around the White House, and are the
outgrowth Of Grantism during the last five
years. Sustained by the President they have
made Investigations q farce, shaped legisla-
ton in their own interest, controlled appoint
ments, and actually run the Government as
if it we're a close corporation. Surely it is
time for radical change.

A LITTLE SUGGESTION.

We are prepared to acknowledge that it is a
fact that our young men must smoke; we will
go even farther, and say that they must
smoke between every act of play at the
theater; but we suggest that the entrance and
steps Of theater are not just the proper
places for them to indulge their fondness for
the weed. especially when performance is
going on.
They would not be allowed to do so at a
pay performance given by the regular COM
! pany of theater during the winter season,
or in any other city in the country. But the
guests at an amateur performance seem to
deem themselves of special Importance, and
imagine that they are to be controlled only by
their own instincts, however those instincts
may oppose the rules of the theater or the
dictates of gentility.
These remarks are prompted by the fact
that at the Varieties Theater, Tuesday night
several young and dashing gents had to be
frequently requested and finally ordered not
to smoke in the entrance or on the steps Of
the theater. 1t is a sad commentary on the
native politeness of some of our young men,
that when invited as guests they forget that
they are under some obligation to behave
themselves properly, and to entertain little
respect for the requests made by their hosts.
We suggest that those gentlemen who SO for
got themselves Tuesday night be forgotten by
their friends when invitations are being de-
livered for the next performance.

RANDOM RECOLLECTIONS.

In the Nicaragua war, the seizure of Van.
derbilt's steamer by Walker on Lake Nicara.
qua, was the cause Of Little Billy's" ruin.
It was reported, and believe truly, that Van.
erbilt sent an agent to the Central American
States, urging them to unite in making wa,
against Walker. He was so successful in his
mission, that President Mora of Costa RIGA,
invaded Nicaragua, and by Selling the steam
ers on the Lake, and the forts and steamers
in the San Juan River, paralysed the efforts
Of 1.-THE filibusters, and finally led to the
seizure Of Walker by Capt Davis. of the
United States Navy, for the purpose of saving
him and his little army from the sword OF
the enemy.
When Gen. Mirabeau Lamar returned tenn.
porarily las he thought) from his mission to
Central America, l met him in Mobile on his
route to Texas. He spoke of the condition OF
Nicaragua, and said "that the destruction Of
Granada by Gen. Henningsen was one of the
most awful spectacles in the world. The town
was in ruins, and the cathredals could only
be recognized by their debris" 1 well re-
member that all the plate taken from the
churches and sent to New Orleans to be ex-
changed for hard money, fell finally into the
hands of Col Mancosos, who being dismissed
from his position as agent, returned from
Grey Town to New Orleans in January, 1857,
and appropriated this plate to his own use, it
having been consigned to him.
The officers who acted with Walker in
e. -
roughs. It is true that there were gentlemen
among them of talents and refinement; but
the generality were low, vulgar set, drunk
ards and gamblers. As to the private SOL
diers, the rank and file, they were composed
of wharf rats, gutter snipes and roustabouts
in fact, nearly all were thieves Capt.
Reynolds, of the Mobile Rifles, used to say
"that his men were all prime scholars of
Senior Blitz; that they would lie down at
night with hats and shoes on, and that when
they rose up for roll-call next morning not
man would have on the hat or shoes he had
worn when lying down, for there had been a
general exchange Of property, each man
stealing his ne,ghbor's hat and shoes and
losing his own"
When l first met with William Walker, in
1S4S, he was editing the New Orleans Cries.
cent in conjunction with John z. Larue
The Office was on St. Charles street, near
Gravier. At that time he was fond of talking,
and Larue and himself were necessarily dis
putting about politics. The Crescent was said
to advocate the Free Soil doctrine, and yet
the editors were intensely Southern. Why it
was that Walker became subsequently 30
taciturn, has always been mystery to me.
1t may have been policy, but it was not calcu-
lated to make him popular. As general
rule, his officers feared him more than they
liked him. He was intensity selfish, but the |
manner of his capture by the British, and |
their bssely surrendering him into the hands |
Of his enemies, who put him to death, |
softened the feeling against him, and justified |
the eulogism of Gen. Henningsen, which was
published in the New York papers in 1860.
