THE STATE HOUSE.

The excitement of the last few days in
and around the State House has en-
tirely subsidized, at least SO far as out
ward appearances go. The House dis
cussion on
The Lottery bill
is the only topic of actual interest at
the Capitol. The bill is expected to pass
the House by handsome majority, and
q rumor, too good to be believed, except
with due allowance, would lead us to
hope that it is assured of majority
even in the Senate.

The Woodruff LECTURE. To-night, at
eight o'clock, Victoria Woodruff will, at
st. Patrick's Hall, deliver her lecture, as
announced in another column. Speaking
of her lecture, the Buffalo Courier said
Victoria G. Woodruff lectured at st.
James Hall last evening, on The
True and False Socially" and, not
| withstanding the very disagreeable
weather. the hall WIS filed with q high
| ly intelligent audience. With such audi
ences as that Of last evening, through
an entire season, it must be evident to
the most casual observer that "ad-
vanced IDEAS" when advocated boldly,
are sometimes pecuniarily profitable.
Mrs. Woodruff has been roundly abused;
but the American people are the most
generous people in the world, and the
feeling is gaining that she has been
misrepresented and has been made to
suffer unnecessarily. Mrs. Woodruff
has persuasive eloquence, q fiery energy
and an earnestness whose genuineness
| cannot be questioned. She is a woman
of great ability, and states her views
with singular clearneSs and force.

whose philanthropy dAu uioAi'i oo M

hill was different from the bill previous
" passed and so obnoxious, because
the incorporators were empowered vlr-
tually to take government into their
own hands.
Mr.. Raw moved the indefinite post
ponement of the bill. The laws OF the
State and municipal ordinances secured,
as ,'er as law could secure, animals from
inhnman treatment. This was mo-
nopoly. The company could use the
police and tie courts to prosecute thei1
lnformations. and every dollar collected

pecuniary advantage. III ne PEoseou.u,,'

The company had money inJeiese ~

bill was one to promote litigation at tne
expense of industry. Mr.. Ray m0veu
the indefinite postponement OF the OIL.
Mr.. Hall was in the midst OF speech
to show the responsibility OF the pro-
posed corporation, and was reading the
names OF the incOrpOrators, when q vote
was demanded, and the motion OF MI
Ray, for indefinite postponement, pre-
vailed by vote of 43 to ~.
Then. at a quarter after two, strug-
gle between the majority and minority
ensued, the object Of which, on the par!
Of the minority, was to defeat the bill
repeating the charter OF the Louisiana
Lottery Company. The contest lasted
II it'll nine O'clock at night, and was SC
rem srkable that an outline Of it merits
