THE LOTTERY SUITS.
Arguments in tho Case Against Postmas
ter General Key.

Arguments In h Case Against Postmas-
ter General Key.
Washington, Dec. 25-The district Gu.
prsme court, general term. took up to-day
the case of . lottery agent against Postmas-
ter General Key, IN which the complainant
seeks an injunction to restrain the enforce.
msnt of the recent order of the postofice
department forbidding the delivery to him
of mail matter, postal orders and registered
letters.
The counsel for respondent filed . demur.
rer setting forth that no affirmative allega-
Ition asking for relief had been made, a. in
equity there ehould have been ; that no pri-
vate letters have been withheld; that res.
pondent 10 Improperly sued a. q citizen of
Tennessee that the pcstmaster-general has
the riRhtful custody Of the mails and that
the letters said to have been withheld are
letters pertaining to lottery business.
There was some discussion - to whether
the argument should proceed on the demur-
rer or on the bill. Chief Justice Carter
said he had no doubt the demurrer should
be heard first in the natural order Of arru-
ment.
Judge Ray then proceeded with his argu-
ment upon the demurrer, maintaining that
the president alone was responsible for the
official action of his executive officers and
that the proceedings should be against him
and not against The head of the department;
that the bill could not properly be brought
against the postmaster general as 4 citizen OF
Tennessee that the court had no jurisdiction
and 20 power to iseue the injunction prayed
for, and that the acknowledgement under
the statute establishing the registered letter
system had full pewer to take the course he
had.
Senator Carpenter, in behalf Of complain.
ant argued that the. postmaster. general
represented the president only in the exer
else of discretionary executive power. The
present case is evidently one in which the
president could not act. This court, Senator
Carpenter said, is called upon to say wheth'
er congress can authorize the postmaster.
general to try pe1sons for sending improper
matter by mail-to cut him of from III,
benefits of the postal service-if he (the
postmaster-generaD considers him guilty
and then tell the condemned individuaf1ha
he has no right to come into a court of equi
~ and have Justice lone him.
Argument will be continued tomorrow.

The citizens meeting of last evening In

mess men and river men and there was
great interest exhibited in the proposition.
The resolutions adopted We print elsewhere.
There is no point upon the Missouri where
money could be expended to q greater ad-
vantage than here at Yankton. An immense
'steamboat business centers here and boats
are arriving and departing constantly during
each season. The record as given in the
river column Of our paper shows that during
the navigation season of 1879. including the
months Of April, May, June, July, August.
September, October and half Of November,
there we're three hundred aud twenty-six
arrivals and departures at and from the port
of Ysnkton. The Coulson line alone load.
ed from the Yanktop levee during the sea-
BOZ twenty thousand Ions, or forty million
pounds Of freight fol upper river points.
AS three other lines transacted all or q part
of their shipping business at this port, these
facts aud figures will give an idea of the
great importance of Yankton as a river
point. 1t so happens that the Missouri has
changed its channel In a way which Injuries
d steamboat landing and threatens to des'
troy il entirely, 1t is believed that a mod
crate expenditure of money will restore the
channel to its former limits and give Yank
ton q river front which will be approachabl,
at all points for Missouri river steamers. l
Is the annual custom Of congress 10 appro.
propriate large sums Of money for the i'm
provement of the rivers Of the country in th'
interest Of navigation and cheap transporta
ton. Usually this money is parceled gu
among the states. leaving the territories t
combat nature 10 the rough without any q
the aids which science has developed for th
betterment of mankind. Dakota has with
in its limits twelve hundred miles of tn
nsvigable portion of the Missouri river, "
it never has received but one appropriate
from congress for it's improvement-that {
five thousand dollars. last season, for Ii
work done at Vermilllon. Under all Ii
circumstances brought forward, it woul
seem that the request of Yankton for an al
preparation from the general governmel
should meet with the consideration it's a
portance demands.

He was in the cars, homeward

self and his brush to New York.

thought about the people of San

point. Lester was aftable, and dis
posed to talk.

II think not; but young actor
named James ONeill played Hugh
Chalcote in "Oursn before I came,
and it seemed as if they accepted
him as the true Hugh and my
self only as an imitator."
The interviewer smiled, and Les
ter, re-adju ting his eye-glass, con-
tinued:
"This same O'Neill also played
the principal character in q
vamped-up Passion Play by a man
named Morse, and had all the wo-
men crying over him. Sir,n and
he shot the glass from his eye with
an impatient movement of muscle,
"you can judge what l think OF

state my opinion that If Jesus
Christ himself came down from
Heaven they would give O'Neill
the preference in the character"
The rest Of the remark was lost
in the shrek of the locomotive, as
the interviewer left hurriedly, and
the train moved off.

THE HERALD is q Democratic
newspaper. During our manage.
ment of it, extending for q period
of three years, lacking only two
weeks, it has never set itself up
for anything else. We have been
content to take the party chances,
and we can truly say that the mer-
cenary element has never entered
into our calculations. We have
been very little troubled with party
patronage during that long period;
but for this. as long as we can hold
body and soul together, we don't
care baubee. One thing we do
regard, however. Gorham aud the
Chronicle, and other accom- modat-
ing gentlemen, who intend to try
to "gut" the Democratic party
next year, are helping along DR..
Glenn for Governor. The Doctor,
in addition to his own merits, has
their championship, and his cleo
ton is probably foregone conclu-
sion. But let no Democrat forget
that, below the name of DIR. Glenn,
there occur number of other
names of gentlemen who are not
ashamed to acknowledge them
selves as Democrats, pure and SIM
pie. Some of these are individuals
who help to form the present Dem.
ocratic State administration one of
the best that we have ever had, or
ever will have, in California. They
are all honest aud reliable men
and many ofthem very able withal.
The proba bility is that, as to those
who have formed part Of the expIr-
ing administration, we shall not
soon look upon their like again, un-
less we re-elect them. Let every
Democrat make 1t his special busi-
ness to advance the straight DEM
ocratic ticket. However the
Messrs. Terry, Gorham and the
Chronicle may feel about it, this
ticket deserves cordial support and
championship from our party. No
man who likes Democracy, pure
and undiluted, should fall to give
the regular Democratic nominees

CITY TICKET.
The California De mocraey.

We do not know an easier Iole
than that of abusing the Demo-
cratic party. 1t has become fash
ionable, of late, for an infinite num-
Der Of political changelings, who
ought to know better, to wreak
their spite upon this serene old po-
litical organization, whose vitality
is as great riddle as the Spbynx
which the traveller of to-day en-
counters near Memphis and
throughout all Egypt. We find
ourselves Obliged to thank David
8. Terry for his advocacy of Glenn,
the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, and to repel, with indigna-
tion, his attacks upon the Califor-
mia Democracy and the straight
Democratic ticket. The California
Democracy has been very good and
kind to Judge Terry in its day and
generation. 1t has stood between
him and the popular wrath, in
heated times, like very stone wall.
It has recognized his ability and
condoned his transgressions; and
1t has, altogether, deserved much
better treatment than he seems
disposed to accord it.
We have in mind the latest per.
formance of Judge Terry, viz, his
Platts Hall speech. That whole
speech Is pervaded by an insulting G
tone to the Democracy. Hugh ].
Glenn Is not an H. B. candidate.
He has been honored with the
preference Of a Democratic State
Convention; and, as contrasted
with q monopoly candidate fol-
Governor in the person of Perkins
he ought to he elected by pro.
nounced majority. His claims as
against White are not 80 strong as
against Perkins, but they still, in
our Judgment. overshadow that
gentieman's by great deal. White
and his party helped to make the
new Constitution, White himself
being member of the Convention,
and they have advocated 1t at
every stage. Without straining
the truth, 1t may be claimed that
