Tho Superior Criminal Court has sometimes
given TO the public. through It's grand jury re-
ports. anything but nattering notices Az long
ago as December u, 1875 the Lottery COMPANY
by it's corrupting Influences, had become such
m immoral machine as to merit action by the
grand jury as will be seen by an e8trnct taken
from the report Of that date. The report. after
touching upon other matters says:
The vagrant laws Of the State arc applicabla
TO this class Of persons. and should be riRidly
enforced. II those embellishments are aptly de-
Ecribed aG gambling bells and we certainly

On the third OF May last lengthy luFerview
with number OF our prominent merchants, on
the subject Of the revenue. was published In the

have attracted tho attention Of our commercial
community, but large number Of our leading
busiEess men have actually moved In the
matter. and yesterday presented the following
petition to the Council:
TO the Honorable Mayor and Board Of Admin
ierators of the City Of New Orleans:

Az Il now stands 1t docs not appear that amy

Tho ordinance included m tom OF something
Ike s2s 900 offered to be- exoh lnged by Mr. Emile
Douny. Col. Denis opposed tho ordinance aud
objected particularly to tho tom mentioned
which he said consisted Of past due coupons on
unmatured bonds, EIo did not oonaruo. he
sad. that such coupons constituted q part
Of tho HDn'inE debt His objection to
other items in tho list Of bids was that
they consisted Of JudgmentR on tho BOMBED
debit Of the city, md hence Mother they could
be- considered part OF the 0Oaing debt. UR

self OF the consolidated debit commission. Of n
f23 900 In past dItp bonds which he thought war0
now . part of thu floating 4. ht and should not
have b. en- rejected. Tho Mayor and Admins-
tho ordinance maintaining that the ordinances
authorizing tho exchange tnolndod In,dg-
ments' against the city. and did not dis
criminate against judgments rendered on the
bonded debt.
Col. Denis ropIiod that II tho construction Of
tho Mayor and the Administrator Of Accounts
had boen understood it would hovN boon an
easy matter for tho holder Of the s23 O00 past due
bonds to obtain Judgment against the city. and
thereby those obligations would have eHsiy
come within tho terms of the ordinance but tho
holder had rofranoI from suing the city. And.
remarked Col. Denis this bidder had offered n
premium to the city IN the exchange. whilst the
bidder on the S25, 600 Of coupons did not.
After further debate tho ordinances accepting
the bids WAS adopted. amended, however by
striking on, the S25 600 cOuuon bid which WAS
referred to the City Attorney for his opinion.

Private advices received yesterday from
Washington were to the effect thatthe President
