THE EFFECT ON ONCARoNDELEr STREET.

Yesterday afternoon, when 1t became
known that the Governor had signed the
bill repeating charter Of the the LOU
isiana State Lottery Company there
was visible stir in certain quarters
on Carondelet street. The parties, and
they belong to select company, who
held stock hurried about to consult one an
other, and then their attorneys offices were
sought. 1t was evident that the stroke was
not looked for, at least so soon. Inquiry
amongst the brokers developed the fact that
at present none OF the Lottery stock was on
the market, and 1t was impossible to say
what effect the signing Of the bill would
have. No doubt resort would be had to the
Federal courts, and this would consume con-
siderable time There can be no doubt but
what the Governors action was q complete
surprise to the supporters OF the lottery
scheme, and now they will have to set their
legal artillery at work to sustain the insti-
tuition. A few days will develop their tactics

TILDEN AS A GREAT MAN.
How He "Lays over" jackson, Harrison
and the other Presidents.
Correspondence New York Sun.l


With the exception Of Lincoln, who en-
bodied In O. larger degree than anybody else
the saving sense OF the common people, there
has not been great man In the White House
since Jacksons day, and Jackson's greatness
lay In the direction OF courage rather than
craftsmanship. Van Buren was q politician
of rare ability, capable Of rendering immense
at heart, and In trimming his sails to catch
the breeze OF popular favor he finally tackled
In the wrong direction and capsized his craft.
Harrison died before he had a chance to reveal
his character, and Taylor lived just long
enough to show that his administration would
have no distinguishing features. Polk, Pierce
and Buchanan were respectable nonentities
who did precisely what was expected OF them
by the party, and who never entertained an
idea which they were not willing to abandon
at the command OF the caucus. The acci-
dental Presidents Fillmore, johnson
and the present incumbent OF the White
House all be classed together. They
nents, and thus forfeited the support OF the
party responsible for their existence. 1t
would be absurd to compare Mr.. Tilden with
any of these modern Presidents. He Is man
whose Intellectual resources are infinitely
greater than theirs, and whose political
genius Is Of a higher order. He might fail
where they succeeded in distributing the
patronage aceeptably; but he would also sue
ceed where they failed-in reforming abuses
and preventing the plunder OF the public
purse. 1t is even more absurd to say OF Til
den that he ought to be grateful that he was
elected to the Presidency and was exempted
from It's onerous duties. Tilden Is no school
empty honors. He represents policy which,
II it Is put in force, will purify the Federal
government, stop the stealing and reduce
taxes far below their present rate.

Chambers himself went into active training.

The Catholic Church and the EducatfOnai
Bttl-A Promise and n Threat.

LONDON, March 27-A dispatch from Paris
says it Is understood that a somewh re-
markable communication has been made Dy
leaders Of the Catholic party to Messrs. Gam
beta and Grevy. In effect, this communica-
tion contains threat and promise.
The promise Is In the shape OF declaration
that the Catholic population throughout
France are sincerely anxious for the success
Of the republic. They are quite willing to
forego any predictions which they may
have entertained In favor OF monarchy or
empire, and to join l.. ,b'tily In the work OF
building up the republic, put there must be
clear understanding as to one point-the
republic must not assail the Church nor take
from her any liberties. The proposed bill, Tor
instance, to deprive the Jesuits of their rights
as teachers, and the measures looking towards
the robbery of that freedom OF education Sc
cured under the present laws cannot be sub
mitted to by the Catholics OF France. They
are perfectly willing to have the edu-
cational system of France placed upon
the same basis as that Of the United
States, and they do not care anything what
ever for subsidies from public funds Ii per-
mitted to retain the charters granted by the
last educational law, and to 90 on supported
by voluntary contributions OF their own peo-
pie. They will ask for nothing more.
The threat is that il their rights are refused
them and the republic is found to be an anti
Christian and anti-Catholic machine, conduct.
ed in the interest Of infidelity, and directed
by men who avow their intention to rob
their Church of her freedom, to prevent her
from teaching her children, to introduce the
abominations OF divorce and free love, they
will be compelled against their present wish
to resist it's progress and to seek for return
to wiser and safer methods. The cOmmunica-
is believed to be correct synopsis OF Its con-

Chinese In New Zealand.
New Zealand Herald.1

The colonial treasurer is strong opponent
OF Chinese immigration. The following letter
by him was read at recent public meeting
at Wellington on the subject: "As shall not
be able to attend the meeting, take this op-
pOrtunity OF expressing my warm sym pathy
with It's object. 1t has appeared to me that
the care that is rightly exercised with regard
should not be relaxed when the voluntary
immigration Of an inferior race threatens to
deraDge all the just relations Of capital and
labor, and to produce social results likely to
derange the position Of the European laborer.
The advocacy Of Chinese immigration Is Of
the same kind as that Of slavery, In this
important respect, shat it Is founded on
the desire to increase the wealth of the
capitalist class by the subsection OF the
laborer. To those, therefore, who view the
diffusion of prosperity and happiness among
all classes If not equally, at least with equal
opportunities the highest aim OF govern
ment, 1t must appear that the unrestricted
immigration Of such people as the Chinese
might become national calamity OF the
greatest magnitude In the attainment OF
the ofject you have in view difficulty may
be found in the treaty obligations OF the
mother country; but 1t would be unfortunate
If these should intervene to prevent q colony
from regulating the introduction OF Chinese
In accordance with its own interests. III we
may legisiate for the Introduction OF suen
immigrants as we desire, it seems equally
right that the Chinese, whom we do not desire,
should be kept out by an embargo on vessels

Garden, with the exception Of Miss Cameron
and Miss Henry, were on the track. The
former gave up after walking three and the
latter after walking sixteen miles. Lola's
feet blistered early In the race and she re-
tired for three hours. The style OF walking
OF the different contestants was ridiculous,
while their dresses as they followed each
other In funeral4like procession pace re-
sembled an opening march at fancy dress
ball.
At 1d15 Lola, dressed In neat sailor suit,
came on the track. She wore blue jockey
cap, Her feet were badly bltstered but she
started off at brisk pace. 1t was the gen
eral opinion that a majority of the contestants
had been walking or running too last, and
they would not be able to hold out OLeary
was present this morning, also many other
sporting men.
Wallace IS, Kilbugn SO, Cushing So, Vanberg 48.
The tournament does not prove great at
traction, and the attendance to-day Is limited
to a few hundred spectators. The appear
ance OF the contestants iS both cOmical and
distressing. Only one or two display any
thing like pedestrian capacity, and none
are remarkable In any way. Sew raj are ter
ribly tagged already, and look as though
sorry they undertook the job. Others are In
bad condition, and altogether the exhibition
is rather melancholy Cne, and is likely to
prove failure financially, as 1t has already
g. show.
New YORK, March 27, Evening.
two thousand persons visited Gilmore's Gar
den this evening to witness the ladies' six
days pedestrian contest During the day
four of the contestants withdrew from the
race, leaving fourteen to fight the battle out.
At IL o'clock tonight the score for the first
twenty-four hours stood as follows: La Chap
pelle 81 miles 7 laps, Wallace rs miles, Kill
burn 70 miles, Won Berg 70 miles, Gushing II
miles, the others to 20 miles behind.

THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
A Determination Arrived at to Fight thu
APPROXIMATION Bills to the Bitter End.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Republican
caucus this evening was largely attended, and
the members say that the greatest enthusi-
asm and unanimity prevailed. Mr.. Frye
presided. The object Of the caucus was to
determine the course to be pursued by the
party with reference to the proposed general
legislation and the appropriation bills
Speeches were made by Messrs. Conger,
Keefer, White and other leading Republi-
cans, counselng resistance to any legislation
other than that which Immediately affects
the appropriations.
When the army bill was reported to-day,
general debate was reserved on the clauses
relating to the presence of troops at the polls,
and the caucus agreed that they would ask
the fullest and freest discussion Of these
clauses and will fight them to the bitter end
The argument used was that the Democrats
had threatened them with stopping the
wheels of government, unless they would
agree to this legislation. They declare their
willingness to accept the challenge. and say
they will not be coerced in the way proposed.
They also adopted resolutions declaring 1t
to be the sense Of the caucus that hereafter
and until the appropriation bills are disposed
of Republicans should not In any instance
make pair with Democrats. Some OF the
Republicans don't like this last resolution.
but it is believed that all Of them will abide
by it.
