THE LOUISIANA LOTTERY COMPANY.

Monday, Mr.. Booth in the House, in
troduced bill to repeal an act entitled
an act to increase the revenue Of the
State and to incorporate the Louisiana
State Lottery Company, and also an
act TO repeal the act relative to the unli-
censed sale Of lottery tickets in the
State Of Louisiana. Both bills were re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee.
Every good citizen Of Louisiana has a
deep interest in the passage of these
acts. and IL is to be earnestly hoped that
the committee will make q favorable
report upon, and that the Legislature
will have the courage to pass them. 1t
has been held that the charter granted
the Lottery Company is u contract the
State cannot abrogate; but. as there are
grave differences upon that question.
the Legislature may well leave it to be
determined by the courts, to which the
Company is able to resort, Ii 1t shall
feel aggrieved. That the concern is an
immoral institution, and calculated
only for public evil and private emolu-
ment will not be denied, and being such.
the Legislature should not hesitate
to repeal its charter. Pretermitting any
expression just now upon the agencies
by which the charter of this company is
universally believed to have passed the
Legislature, we fall back upon the great
and universal principle, fundamental in
every enlightened government, that the
Legislative power has no authority to
establish immoral institutions, and in
the name of Christianity and common
decency appeal to the Legislature to re-
peal the acts creating this gigantic and
Ubiquitous monopoly, and leaving 1t to
protect any rights it may legally have in
the courts. The Legislature owes 1t to
the good name of the State, not less than
to public interests, to take this course.
1t will not be long. il the Lottery Com
pany is not destroyed. before it will be
able to largely control the affairs of
Louisiana, and behind its vast and ill
gotten gains fortify itself against all
