No Wonder then GrowI.

Southern members of congress are
moving on the treasury as the appoint
ments accredited to their States under
the law fixing the division of offices.
They claim that a number of these
appointments are made from Northern
and other Republican States and
credited to the South. What they
want IS that appointments shall come
from the South, according to division.
They expect, they say, that the ap-
pointeas will be Republicans, but they
want those Republicans TO hail from
the States to which they are credited.
They are opposed to Maine or New
York Republicans being put into
office and the appointment credited to
Georgia or Virginia. They have in
some instances been furnished with
appointments credited to their States,
qnd upon whose recommendations
they were made, Some Of the recon-.
mendatinns are from General Grant.
President Hayes, General sherman,
Governor Hartranit, Senator Blaine,
senator Edmuuds, Senator Burnside
senator Kellogg, Senator Allison,
E~x -Secretary Delano, Colonel Mosby,
Senator Chandler, Senator Cameron,
General Butler, aud Ex-C Chaplain
Sunderland. The practice seems to
have been hal when an ofice-seeker
had no place to call his home he was
charged up to the South.

Secret Drawing of the Indiana
Orphans Benefit Lottery at
Evansville,


EVANSVILLE, IND, April 10.-The
drawing Of the Indiana Orphans Ben.
etit Lottery wa conducted to-day in
profound secresy by a committee of
Evansville and indianapolis citizens.
Secresy was considered necessary to
prevent the issuance of an Injunction
to prevent it by creditors and Judge
Andrew Robinson, a prominent law
yer here, who had written to Governor
Williams, demanding that the draw
ing be prevented, as it was against the
laws of the Stale.
Your correspondent has been all
day trying to get a list of the prizes
drawn and names of persons present
without success. Those presumed TO
have been there say they have moth
ing to do with it, except one promi-
neat business man Of Evansville, Nj.
Peter Semonin, whose reputation and
character are far above suspicion. He
states that the drawing was perfectly
ialr, and that secresy was necessary
because some of the committee feared
indictment, and as they had given
their assistance because it was a semi
charitable scheme, they did not want
to suffer. 1t seems that all of the
tickets unsold were put in for the
benefit Of the protector of the scheme.
}. NJ. R%idenour, of indianapolis. Up
to midnight the committee was busy
at the list, andrefuse togive any num-
bers until all has been verified and
compared.
