The Suppression of Lotteries

WASHINGTON, Oct 21.-The motion of the
Louisville Lottery Company for permanent
injunction to restrain the Postmaster at Louis
vile, KY, from Withholding letters addressed
to their agent, pursuant to the recent order of
the Postmaster General, will be argued in the
United States Court on Oct. 2S. In the mean
time, the order of the department will be rigid
ly enforced, and all letters addressed to agents
of lottery companies will be forwarded to the
dead letter office. No modification of the
original order will be made unless the decision
of the court should be adverse to the depart
ment. If the department is sustained in the
action already taken to suppress lotteries, adj
ditional orders will be issued by the Postmast-
er General against using the mails for carrying
on this business. Nothing further, however,
will be done until the court decides the ques-

DROUGHT IN THE WEST.

Navigation Suspended on the Ohio River
Coal Scare and Dear-Damage to the
Wheat Crop.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 2l.-The Ohio river is
lower than it has been for 20 years. At hun
dreds of points. between here and Pittsburg it
can be forded easily. Scarcely boat is to be
seen. Navigation is nearly suspended, and
freight is piled up in great quantities at all
points between Pittsburg and Louisville, wait
ing for the rise that many predict will not
come this season. The stage of the water hes
not been sufficient for the transportation of
coal since July, and the consequence is that
the price of that commodity in Cincinnati has
doubled since that time. There is not enough
coal ON hand in the yards to supply the de-
mand for ten days IF there are no heavy
rains within that time the city will be depen-
dent for supplies upon the railroads. at what
ever cost of transportation they may choose to
adopt AT Pittsburg every craft on the river
that can be converted to such use is filed with
coal waiting for the water to rise. The ac-
cumuation is the greatest that has ever been
known amounting to 100000 bushels The
drought is beginning to have serious effect
upon the growing wheat 1t has brought the
Hessian fly, which in many localities in
Southern Indiana is doing great mischief. The
area sown to wheat is much greater than last
year, but the drought and the appearance of
the fly have had the effect of pursuading
farmers who have not sold this years crop to
hold on to it for still higher prices.

THE SHOTGUN STATE.
Lawlessness and Bulldozing Admitted by
Democrat.

LID" lSSou05S dl1o ny
a Democrat.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-A letter has been
received here, written by Judge r. S. Hunt
Hudson Of Mississippi, who is represented as
one of the ablest and. worthiest men in that
state. Judge Hudson's letter is in reply to an
invitation from committee of what is called
"The Independent or pacific Democratic party
of Yazoo county," to become candidate for
the Legislature. Judge Hudson declines the
invitation in a letter which admits all that the
Republicans charge as to the situation in Mis-
sissippi. Judge Hudson deplores the exodus,
and draws strong picture of the effect upon
the South of the emigration of its laborers.
Tracing the cause, Judge Hudson says:
"When is bulldozing and intimidation to end?
When are we to have free, unawed and un-
strangled aspiration for office, a canvass and
election? When is our mothers breast to be
unstained with the blood of the citizen and
the graves cease to be filled with the dead on
election years and occasions? When are the
walls and cries of the bereft and widows and
orphans to be unheard in party organizations
and elections? Why the continued threats
and intimidations against those who may see
fit to organize the colored voters to vote any
particular ticket, but what are almost exclu-
sively composed of old and tried white men of
Yazoo county? They know and we know that
there has been bulldozing, and even worse.
They know and we know that the Bourbon
army in time Of profound peace is not perma-
nently disorganized and disbanded, and can be
brought to the front again upon roll call.
