In Testimony whereof have hereunto

this 2sth day Of june. A. D. 1876:
Secretary Of State.
1t will be seen that the Hon. District Court of
the Second Judicial District is Director in this
corporation. His Honor has never resigned. His
place has never been filed by the Appointment of
any other person. He does not act with the con-
cern, he says; but he is legally a Director and
is legally responsible for its acts. 1t is queer
notion, indeed, that q man may start concern
like this, give countenance to it, as being legal
and honorable, and at his pleasure, when odium
begins to attach, cast off his responsibility as be
would his worn-out hat, freeing himself from all
liability, legal and moral, thereby. Judge Hub
bard and his Hiawatha barrel organ claim that
it was not lottery while he had connection
with it. In the light of this Charter, would they
or either of them, have she goodness to tell ms
what it vast Where were they going to estsb-
lish their "Boards of Trade, their Business Ex-
changes" and erect their buldingsi Now, the
concern has promoted immigration" to q very
liberal extent, in encouraging its ticket holders
to come West to look after the drawing-we beg
Challiss' pardon We should have said "distribu-
tion." Beyond this what has it done, that does

The charter was filed Nov. lst On the 9th

1t will be seen, from this, that "grand distr-
button" had, on November 9Th, been advertised
to take place March 2Sth, 1t will be seen, too,
that if it had called this "grand distribution" q
grand drawing" it would have been lottery,
beyond doubt. 1t will he seen, too, that the
enterprises to be embarked in, were like his
Honors ability ability as a Judge-of so dubious
. character, that heap of certificates of good
moral character were requisite to start the thing
n business.
This same circular tells us, the distribution
vas to take place March 2sth, 1876, in the pres
nee of a very honorable committee; that every
