LOTTERY LETTERS.
OPINION OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
As TO The EFFECT or THE LAW
GOVERNING THE SUBJECT.
Postmastrrs Cannot Open Lottery Pack
ages They Must be L,beled. Taken
Into Court and There EEK amIned- A
Tedious Proceeding That Null.Hss the

Especial to tho Democrat
WAsHINaTON, May 4-The decision of the
Attorney General In the lottery cases has
been transmitted to the Postmaster General,
and Is being sent to postm asters as q circular.
1t does not differ materially from the brief
outline telegraphod you some days ago. OK
oept in one particular, which WAS probably an
after thought interpolated upon revision,
THE BURDEN or THE DECISION
is that postmasters are not informing or
sei2ng officers. that they are not supposed
to know tho contents of any letter passing
through their hands. and hence cannot be-
vested with power Ia seize or withhold letters
which are merely suspected OF being contra
band Mt law.
The Attorney General gives a strong ron
dering of the law itself, but says that in or
der to secure It's proper enforceme Mt it will be
necessary tgsubject the suspected matter TO n
process Of libe'ing under the form of law. the
same as any other contraband matter. that
is to say. in order to prevent the deliv-
cry of
LOTTERY MATTER AT THE NEW oRLEAHs rogr-
OFFICE.
It would be necessary for somebody to make
affidavit that any and all letters addressed to
Dauphn are contrnband under the law rogt-
lating tho treatment of immoral or obscene
matter in the mails. This affidavit, ns un-
derstands tho Attorney General, noed not be
specific as to individual letters, but may
cover, for example, ono days mail but it can
not be prospective in Its operation. For ex-
ample. it will be necessary to go to the post
office in tho morning, and serve upon the post
master a formal notice Of libel upon certain
LEITEHg THEN IN HIS KEEPING ADDRESSED
70 DAUPHIN.
This will compel the postmaster to deain the
letters and bring them into court TO answer to
the libel TheafIiant must then make oath be-
fore tho letters can be opened that they are
contrnbapd, when they can he opened but ae
in cases Of libelng goods on ships under rls-
toms laws. the real or supposed owner must
be unidentified against loss or damage in the
event Of tho libel being Guashed. Therefore,
the affiant or libeler must give
BOND OF INDEMNITY,
to be fixed by the court. This will, Of course,
be n tedious proceeding
In word. the intent Of the Attorney Cen
eral seems to be to sustain tho law. but to
prevent it's enforcement.

The point raised was that the amendment
proposed new legislation.
Mr.. Baker, of Indiana, addressed the House,
advocating the point Of order.
Mr.. Hale wanted to know how this amend
mont came In here ut this stage.
The Speaker replied that the gentleman
could learn that by an examination of the
record.
Mr.. Hale said it could only have come in
here by the act of the Appropriation Com
mittee yielding for that purpose. He wanted
to know whether that WAS not the case.
The Speaker said the record would show.

The Speaker then overruled the point of
order, and quoted the law to show that the
mint at New Orleans had been maintained in
successive appropriation bills as an assay
Office, and that this proposition to re-estab-
lish it as a mint was not new Legislation.
The amendment was therefore In order.
