france and Italy have accepted the invita-
ssOn Of the United States to hold an interna-
aifnlal conference on the subject OF metallic
gns,ney standards. The conference will doubt
Mss be held at Paris, and its conclusions will
ne Of importance. These will principally be
she monetization of silver, which Is unques-
aionably essential to the prosperity Of all ma
60ns. The world cannot afford to adopt the
aingle standard of gold, thus subiecting COM
mserce 10 the sudden contraction which would
gssult from the destruction of the real money
character Of silver. France has always
xaaintained the double standard, her fve-franc
gaeoe being legal tender just as our silver dol
Gar is. But the main question will be to rec
sneile the different values of silver estab-
gsshed by the Latin Union and the United
states and to establish a uniform standard.
france and the other nations of the Latin
Union make 1873 ounces of silver equal to 1 OF
gold, and restrict the silver coinage. Our
standard is 16 ounces of silver to of gold
mad II this ratio Is adopted we will go on as
Is present, while the nations who are parties
b the conference will have to recon and reis-
sne their silver.

The great jackson Route has now on
sale excursion tickets to the beautiful
summer resorts Of the Northwest at
very low rates. They will remain on sale till
September so, and will be good to return till
October 81, They include such well known
Lake, Wisconsin; st. Paul, Minnesota; Grand
Haven and Mackinaw, Michigan, and Niagara
Falls, besides numerous others OF perhaps
equal attractions. There are no more desirt-
bic places at which to spend the summer than
these cool and healthful resorts, situated in
the lovely lake district of Wisconsin, or on
the noble Lake Michigan and Niagara river.
and at many of them are mineral springs
particularly adapted to the cure of complaints
engendered by Southern climate. All are
easily accessible from large cities, and COM
bine with their associations the benefits OF
rural life.
TO reach them the great Jackson Route is
the shortest, quickest and only direct line.
It is In excellent order, having been practl-
cally rebuilt with steel rails No one passing
over 1t can fail to notice the smooth track, alb
sence Of dust, and thoroughly satisfactory
condition OF everything about 1t. Pullman
cars run through to Chicago and Cincinnati
without change, and there Is no change of
cars from there to nearly, ii not quite, all the
points to which excursion tickets are sold.
Books, maps and folders, giving full de-
scriptions Of the Northwestern watering
places and the routes and rates thereto can
be had at the office of the great Jackson Route,
No. % Camp street, under City Hotel, where
every one intending to spend the summer
away from this city Is invited to call before
deciding to go elsewhere.
The great jackson route Is also without
superior as line to New York and all the
principal Eastern cities, reaching them with
but one change Of cars.

Thus 1t will be seen that when the Louisi-
ana Lottery pays $50, $24 81 SO and $500.
honest and just lotteries pay $225, $50, SIS and
$500. Here are figures which at once show that
Generals Beauregard and Early are mistaken
when they assert that the schemes of the Lou
isiana Lottery are as liberal as those of any
other lottery. Lottery men in this city have
several times attempted to bet on the num-
bers advertised by the Lottery Company, and
pay all the losses they might incur on the
scale of the latter scheme; in other words,
to take the same chances with the lottery
and pay prizes from 80 to 60 per cent greater
than those paid by the lottery. One lottery
man engaged extensively In this business,
who was arrested and imprisoned by the Lot
terry Company under act No. 0, tells us that
he can even increase these prizes, If unmo-
Tested, and make ashandsome fortune at the
business.
Only a few days ago we printed an exhaust
i've analysis of the Louisiana Lottery schemes
and the schemes of foreign lotteries, which
we wish that Generals Beauregard and Early
had read before they promulgated ''their de-
fense," and from which we reproduce the fol-
lowing extract:
The comb nation. or Genoese lottery, which is
the system on which the daily drawing of the
Louisiana Lottery Company is conducted, has
been in existence for centuries. Italy. France
Austria and Bavaria carried on this Kind of lot
terry for years, but none of these governments
ever thought of suggesting such ridculously
small prizes as those offred by the Louisiana
Lottery Company. In Austria the rule is that
the capital prize shall be so 600 times as great as
the cost of the ticket In Bavaria it is "a 800 times
as great: in Louisiana it Is only 800 times as
great. Bavaria and Austria derived immense
revenues from the sale of lottery tickets: what
then. must be the income of our Lottery Com
pany. which, although the cha aces are the same
as in Austria or Bavaria, gives prizes % per cent
less?
This capital prize of $500. or, as we had better
call l., sl2T5, is really the only prize worth men
tioning III the daily drawing of the Louisiana
Lottery. There are three other prizes-of the
fourth, fifth and sixth numbers drawn; seventh,
eighth aud ninth numbers; tenth, eleventh and
twelfth numbers. These prizes are nominally
$3.50. less is per cent but a. whole ticket never
draws a prize in the Louisiana Lottery. these
prizes in reality amount 10 only on6-quarter of
$3.50. less that inevitable Is per cent; In other
words, to 1855 So That is, with rs 076 tickets the
Louisiana Lottery Company offers one prize of
s12T5 and three OF $265 90. Was anything ever
more infamous Do the people who invest in
these tickets ever Il lux that they are paying
