The United States District Court.

The Grand Jury of the United State:
District Court, at Topeka, before be
ing discharged, last Saturday, brought
in number of bills indicting large
number of prominent men of different
sections of the State, for having hand
in lottery schemes. The Common
uealth says:
"Among other bills found were
seven against the managers of the
Atchison Immigrant Aid Association;
four against the managers of the Fort
Scott Concert; one against the old
Leavenworth Association, and three
against the managers of the Topeka
Library Aid Association. The grounds
of the indictment are for distributing
circulars and letters of an ''illegal lot
terry" in the United States mails. The
laws of the United States allow such
matter to be mailed in States where
the carrying on of such institutions
are not .sillegal.' Ii claimed on the
part of the managers that it is not ell
legal in Kansas, because no penalty is
provided against them. The Atchi-
son gentlemen who were indicted,
moved the court TO quash the indicL-
ments against them for the above and
other reasons. When this motion was
made the court was about to adjourn,
and the attorneys had no time to hunt
up the authorities, yet arguments
were made by Thomas Fenlon aud
Judge Webb, occupying some three
hours. 1t being new case in this
State and one not heretofore adjudi-
Gated, and the sact that time did not
allow a careful examination of the an-
thorities, the Judge took the case un-
der Amusement till the next term of
court. Both sides are to file briefs in
the case in due time. The penalty. in
case of conviction, being a small fine,
bail was fixed in the sum of two hun
dred dollars personal recognizance.
Lawyers who have examined the case
themselves and looked up the authori-
ties, are clear in their opinion that the
institutions are not illegal in this
State. and that the court will, when it
examines the case, quash the indict-
ments. The court will finally adjourn
this morning.
