THE COLLECTORSHIP.
TIE CONTEST NARROWED Down TO
PACKARD AND ANDERSON,
With the Chances I'm Favor Of Packard
The appointment Locked For To- Day.

WIN kBe GnAHcGB III Favor OF EaCkaf0--
The appointment Locked For To-Day.
New YORK, March 27.-The Grophic's
Washington special says: The signs are more
favorable to-day for Packard's appointment
as Collector at New Orleans, and the matter
will probably be decided by tomorrow. Will
Hanson, who was nominated and rejected by
the Senate, came here from Central America
impressed with the conviction that IL nomi-
mated again he would secure his own con-
firmatioD, but he has looked the ground over,
interviewed the Senators, and on yesterday
withdrew HIS name from consideration,
and advised that PACKARD, whom he has
hitherto opposed, be nominated.
Warmoth, who has been fighting Packard
bitterly, has surrendered am recommended
his appointment within the last few days.
George Sheridan, Warmoths Fidus Acaates,
has returned from his lecture tour in behalf
Of the Morton Monument Association, and
has also advised Packard's nom nation, which
he has heretofore violently opposed.
Gov Hahn, who has been opposing Packard
in the interest Of another candidate. has with
drawn his man, and goes in for Packard also.
@. t. Howard, the Louisiana Lottery man,
has also recommended Packards appoint
ment.
No one opposes Packard now but Wells
and Anderson, and they do 50 because they
want Anderson appointed Collector. With
the contest narrowed down now between AM
derson and Packard, it looks as IL an ap~
pOintment could be made.

LOTTERIES.
The Argument Before the Attorney Gen,
eral Relative to the Transmission
OfLOttery Matter i'm the Malls.
New York Harald.l ]


WASHINGTON, March 25-Quite an inter-
esting contest has been going on in New Or
leans lately relative to the Louisiana State
Lottery, arising out Of an effort to break it
up, The Legislature has endeavored to stop
it, but the interests connected with it have
been so large that it's conductors successfully
resisted the attempt. Recourse has been had
at last to the authority of the Postmaster
General under sections 1894 and 1885, but he
has been in doubt as to the construction of
the letters or packets connected with the bus
sion through the mails. Accordingly he IRE re-
ferred the question to the Attorney General
for decision, At the same time briefs have
pie by Judge John A. Campbell, Messrs T. j.
Semmes, of New Orleans, and Moulton,
Johnson & Levy, law firm of Cincinnati,
and Messrs. .Gorndeffer and Post, of New
York, and with these briefs document, in
son Of Howard, the great lottery man. On
the part OF the government ex-Judge r. B.
Worden, of Washington and Mr. r. Hutchin-
son, Of New Orleans, have presented argu-
ments also representing the citizens of New
Orleans, who desire to prevent the use OF the
mails for the purpose of conducting the lot
terry business. The act of July, 1876, struck
out the use Of the word "illegal," which is
found in section 1894, Revised Statutes, and
on this point arises the present legal contest,
ers that legislation having recognized the
legality of the business, it is therefore, not IL
legal, and cannot be interfered with by the
United States government. The government
authorities, however, insist that they are
illegal under the meaning of the statutes, and
the object of the present prosecution is to
enforce the law as laid down in section 1894
Other briefs are to be filed with the Attorney
General during the coming week. The Attor-
ney General says that he has no precedent to
act upon in the premises, unless it is to be
found in the cases Of similar nature which
occurred in the management of the New York
postoffice. These are to be examined into,
and il the Interpretation OF the law shall be
found to authorize the Postmaster General to
intercept the prohibited mail matter, instruc-
tions will be accordingly given.
