The Louisiana state Lottery Case.
TILE ARGUMENTS CONCLUDED.

Arguments in the case of Dauphin agt. Key
{the Louisiana State Lottery case) were con-
tinued In the Court in General Term-Judges
Cartier, Cox. James, and Hagner-yesterday
after our report closed.
Senatpr Carpenter closed for the petitioner.
He said he did not care what were the duties OF
the postmaSterat New OrleanS-he was Subordi-
nate to the PoStmaSter-General and compelled
to obey his orders. Nothing was said in the
order about lottery, consequently nothing was
said of 1t In the bill. The law specified 'fraudu-
lent lotteries" and that accusation the Post
master-General could not sustain, as this lot
terry existed by permission of the law and con-
stitutiOn of the state of Louisiana. They could
not travel outside of the record, but must con-
fine themselves to the facts therein set forth.
Much had been said about ministerial officer
exercising judicial power. He simply exercised
sound judgment-what might be termed judicial
functions only, and nothing more. With all
Difference he submitted that no answer had been
made to their objection to the statutes, and
neither could it be done. The counsel on the
other side had done the best they could with a
poor case. II did not doubt for moment the
unc0nStitutionality OF the act that conferred
this judicial power upon the POStmaSter-( Gene

THE HOSTILE UTEs MUST Go.--In an Interview

IHE HOSTILE UTES MUST GO.-In an interview
between Congressman Belford, of Colorado, and
Secretary Schurz yesterday, it was conceded
that the hostile White river Utes had forfeited
their treaty rights, and were to be dealt with as
though no treaty had ever been made with
them. Judge Belford took the more advanced
position that the tribe should be treated as
unit He argued that they refused as q tribe to
deliver up the Indians engaged in the massacre,
and that, although all We're not originally con-
cerned In the war on ThOrnburgh and the mas
sacre at the agency, they were accessories after
the fact and were as guilty as the original par
ticipants. The secretary said he would make
careful study Of the treaty; that it was possible
the treaty required the tribe to deliver up those
making war, and that failure to do SO abrogated
the treaty. Both agreed that these should be
removed to the Uintah reservation, across the
border line Of Colorado in Utah Territory, and
that ii they were not removed trouble would be
likely to occur next spring. 1t is possible that
il the Indians refuse to agree to peaceful re-
moval, the government viii compel them to go.
