SATISFACTORY AND CONCLUSIVE.

l. is difficult to conceive OF more admir-
able arrangements than those already made
for the conduct of the great G ,lden Drawing
of the Louisiana State Lottery Company, an
nouuced for Monday Dec. 9th. With almost
an exclusive view to the ticket holders in
terest the management has so surrounded
and enveloped it with precautionary measures,
that its entire fairness, equitabiiity and i'm
partially must be beyond all question.
The public will rejoice with US that the
work of preparing the tickets and their sub
sequent custody has been RENTED to the care
of the H. w. Allen Monument Association,
mainly composed of body of patriotic and
estimable ladies' who have been ten years dis
interestedly laboring in one of the hottest of
causes. This in itself would be ample guar
antee bat when even this is supplemented
by q committee of old citizens, all Of whom
are well-known in commercial circles and
whose names are household words ia Now
Orleans society, we must acknowledge that
everything possible to be done upon the score
of strict Justice and equity has been more
than thoroughly performed in these promises.
! knowing, then, the drawing will be- ri9Idly
impartial !; knowing, moreover, that the Lo.-
terry Company, in order to avoid scaling
prizes, does not hesitate to assume an equal
risk with ticket holders in the case OF all
tickets unsold up to the date Of drawing;
knowing that this mammoth drawing Is the
most liberal ever offered, giving away more
money for less receipts than has ever been
done by any lottery in the world, and know
ing, finally, that the drawing will take place in
public and be conducted by the public, to the
perfect satisfaction of everybody what more
can be needed to recommend it TO popular
favor?
We would dislike to see the capital prize OF
$780, 900 captured and carried off by stran-
gers yet, in view of the heavy sale of tickets
abroad, ths is not at all unlikely. 1t speaks
we'll of our home institutions, however, to
know that this admirable scheme. e., the
Golden Draaoing-as generally in the case OF
the q" Prophets" was first appreciated abroad
in cities and localities where pain
/ full recollections of late lottery abuses
} extensively perpetrated had good rea-
son to make people somewhat skepti-
cal. But we hope for better things, and
trust that the golden Christmas shower may
: drop every coin within home limits. All who
: wish to be within the lucky circle would dc
y we'll to hurry up their ticket purchases, or
Q they may possibly find themselves too late.
S DRAWING TO CLosE-The great bankrupt
. sale of dry goods at 100 Canal street, Is drawing
to o close, but many Of the pest goods yet re-
+ main to be disposed of, and desirable bargains
+ may yet be had. The people can not make
;, better investment than by purchasing some OF
Ii the beautiful goods that are daily offered and
v sold at such remarkably low prices. Ihey may
"a rest assured that everything offered Is IN every
respect as represe ted. The cloths silks, velvets
g hosiery, carpets ETC., comprise hrst-cia5s goods
!. and are equal to any in he market. Inc TACT
that they are run of at a sacrifice should no
prejudice in any way their quality, because thif
" IL a bankrupt sale, and the goods must be dis
= posed of at any prices they will command how
b ever much below their value. Ladies will find i
e. to their advantage to attend during the closing
q. days OF this great sale.
