THE LOTTERY wAR-ANrICIPArED DECISION OF
THE COURT.
The lottery men have ascerained that tho Justices
OF the Supreme Court of the District had full
change of views this morning preparatory TO writ
ing their opinions upon the question of granting
preliminary injunction restraining tho Postmaster
General from enforcing his present order against
lotteries. While nothing Of positive nature is
known of theresuts of this conference. the lottery
men have managed to obtain such hints and scraps
of information leads them to believe that while
the Court will be divided upon some Of the points
ct issue their case in it's present shape will fall
either by evenly divided Court or by one MAJOR
ity against them. 1t is believed by them that ma
jorty of tho Court will hold that tho law
under which the Postmaster General is act
ing is constitutional. though it will not
be held that he can withhold the private letters
to those who engaged in lottery business. As
this is hearing Oh q prayer for preliminary in
junction the lottery intend to join issue upon
bill seeking q permanent injunction, and them in
Of second failure. to appeal the matter to the
Supreme Court.
