TO SUMMER TOURISTS.

The great jackson Route offers the greatest
Inducements to Eastern and European trav-
elers this season. 1t should be known to all
that this line has been immensely improved
during the past year. 1t has, in fact, been al
most entirely rebuilt. 1t now has fine steel
rail track, laid upon new ties and an excellent
road-bed. This enables it to make as fast
time as any line to New York with entire
safety and without the appearance of rapid
running, its connections from Cincinnati and
Chicago being among the finest roads in the
world. Attention is especially called to the fact
that the Jackson Route runs two daily trains
to New York and all the principal Eastern and
Northern cities: The train leaving at p M,
one hour later than any other line, makes ex-
actly the same time to New York as it's
quickest rival; and the a. m. train makes
one and half hour quicker time to New
York than any other train from New Orleans.
There are no through cars to Nep York by any
line. The Jackson Route has but one change
of cars, which is made in Union depot, Gin
cinnati, at S a. m.
Passengers direct to New York by the jack
son Route pass through the splendid scenery
and cool air of the Allegheny Mountains. Those
going by Chicago pass by daylight in full
view of Niagara Falls, and also have but one
change of cars from New Orleans to New
York.

OUR NEUTRALITY LAWS.

The New York Tribune, of the tenth instant,
publishes an interview with Capt. Semetsch-
kin, of the Russian navy, in command of the
Cimbria, In which that officer talks very free
ly of the Russian naval policy. Capt. Sc
metschkin seems to be a jolly, outspoken tar,
who has nothing to conceal, and talks as
lightly OF international law as OF scuttling
ships or cutting Threats. He stated, in effect
that the Cimbria was under his orders, and
that it was the purpose of Russia to organize
an expedition on this coast. He had agents
in the various seaports looking for fast cruis-
ers. The purpose of Russia was to attack
England on the sea in the event Of war
squadron would soon leave the Baltic
for American waters, but no letters of marque
would be granted and no privateering allowed
under the Russian flag. All the vessels used
In the proposed war on British commerce
would be cruisers in regular commission and
under strict naval discipline, and their prizes
would belong to the government. Capt.
Semetschkin, after reciting these facts, then
vouchsafes the information that he has made
a careful study of international law, and feels
assured that in making his purchases of
cruisers and arming and equipping them in
American ports, in times of peace, he Is not
violating any of the principles of neutrality.
Immediately upon the declaration of war the
Cimbria and her consorts would weigh anchor
and put to sea.
| Upon one point Capt. Semetschkins' ideas
are doubtless correct. Russia can certainly
do as much harm to British commerce with
cruisers in regular commission as with priya.
teers sailing under letters Of marque in viola.
ton of the declaration of Paris. The Society
for the Promotion of Russian Maritime Com
merce has favored this idea after consulta-
ton with two eminent international lawyers.
These authorities, Professors Blemtschli and
Martens, lay down the principle that, on the
sea as well on land, a government commits
sion marks the distinction between regular
and irregular warfare. Under this interpre-
tation the commander of cruiser in regular
commission is neither privateer nor a D irate
! So far Capt. Semetschkins legal studies ap.
pear to have been profitable; but we are dis.
posed to believe that England and the United
States will most likely differ with him in his
opinion that the purchase and equipment OF
cruisers in American ports, for the avowed
purpose of warning Oh the commerce of a
nation with which we are at peace. is not a
violation of international law. AS between
England and the United States, the interna-
tional law upon this point is contained in the
treaty of Washington, negotiated by the Earl
DeGray and Ripon and Mr.. Fish. and promul-

AN OUTRAGE.

On Monday Mr.. Stanisas Plassan an
estimable gentleman and reputable merchant
Of this city, was arrested at his office and
dragged before Recorder Smith, by Gaspard
j. Schreiber one Of Charles T., Towards
pimps and private detectives, on a trumpet
up charge of selling Havana lottery tickets.
The charge is an Infamous lie, as Mr.. Plassan
has no more connection with selling Havana
or any other lottery tickets than Howard and
his brother thieves have with decency and
honesty. The purpose of the lottery company
In making an arrest like this of man Of Mr.
Plassan's standing and character is, no doubt,
to create an exaggerated idea in the public
mind Of it's power and influence, and to strike
terror into the hearts of all OF its opponents.
1t is high time that a stop be put to out
RACES Of this kind on the part of Towards
swindling concern. If they go on we shall
not be surprised to see, some fine morning,
the Lottery Companys imposing palace of
vice torn down by a band of resoute citizens
and Howard and his pals treated to short
shrift and long rope
In the meantime we suggest to Mr.. Plassan
to institute at once against all Of the parties
concerned in his arrest, suit for false arrest
and Imprisonment. And II Recorder Smith,
in violation of article "a of the constitution,
assumes jurisdiction Of the case, we further
advise him to bring against the Recorder an
action for damages. In making this sugges
tion we are not prompted by any ill-feel-
ing toward Judge Smith. We simply desire
to see justice and right vindicated, and we
urge the Recorder to refer to, read and ponder
we'll the above mentioned article 81 Of the
constitution, and ask himself in all sober
ness whether, in assuming jurisdiction of
these lottery cases, he is not acting in open
violation of that article and exposing himself
to an action for damages and to restitution
from Office

THE LOTTERY sWINDLE.

Within few days, probably to-day, sew
eral citizens, arrested last week on the charge
OF selling lottery tickets in violation of the
rights Of the Louisiana Lottery Company,
will be arraigned before Recorder Milten-
berger. These parties were arrested under
the authority OF act No. 9 Of 1874. Monday
several other parties were arrested for violat-
ing the same act, and will be tried and con-
victed by Recorder Smith.
III these individuals have committed any
crime or offense 1t is right and proper that
they should be arrested, tried and punished.
But the personal liberty of the citizen ought
not to be violated, nor his money or property
taken from him except on the clearest evidence
that he is malefactor and then only by the YER
dict OF a jury. 1t is not proposed to deal with
these parties in this way. They have not
been arrested for the commission of any
crime against society, and they are not to have
a trial by jury Act No 9 Of 1874 constitutes
the selling of lottery tickets acithoM a license
from the Louisiana Lottery Company crime,
not against the State, but against that
monopoly; 1t provides that the accused party
or parties shall be taken before police court
and, upon due proof that he or they have sold
lottery tickets without license from the
Lottery Company, fined or imprisoned.
This law was passed by the Radical Legis-
nature Of 1874 under corrupt influences. In
plain words the Louisiana Lottery Company
bought this illegal and rascally act from the
Legislature. That it is unconstitutional
there is no doubt Act "a of the constitution
says:
No judicial process, except as committing
macistrafes In criminal cases. shall be con-
ferred on any officer other than those men
toned Ia this title: except such as may be nee
