me LOTTERY Law DECISION.

The prompt action of the Postmaster-G ZEN
eral. i'm restoring the old order of the Depart
ment forbidding the use of the mails to all
lottery companies, will meet with the hearty
approval of the public generally. We have
shown that the mails have been for some time
past the only effective agents of these com
panies. The open sale OF tickets III this vicinity
has for some time past been stepped by the action
of Governor Cornell Louisiana, Georgia ana
Kentucky, the former markets OF these
swindlng concerns, have been practically
depleted; in none of the other large cities OF
the North has the public sale ever been so I'M
restricted as in this city; and consequently,
as we have said, only the United States mails
were any longer effectively used to reach and
despol the poor victims of the nfatuation OF
gambling in lotteries. This was certainly a
disreputabe business for the United States and
its thousands of agents to he engaged in and
we trust that Mr.. Maynards action will be so
positiye and thor ough that it will ever after I've
i'm possibe to prostitute the mails to this base
use. The making of the order general to all
companies, foreign and domestic, will have the
further effect of relieving the Department OF
the suspicion of being influenced favorably to
either Such a suspicion was not only natural
under the circumstances, but it is no secret that
the companies III active rivalry charged on the
one hand, and boosted on the other, that such
influences existed, aud were not OF an honest
sort.
Naturally, the next resort of the companies
will be TO some one of the United States Circuit
Courts for an injunction restraining the Post
master General from enforcing the order. i hey
will doubtless not 20 to the District of Columbia
Court, for they were lately beaten there, and
the complexion and opinion of that Court have
not suddenly changed. The Louisiana com
pany used formerly to apply with some sue
cess under other circumstances 10 Judge Bill
ings OF New Orleans, but that was before the
Legislature revoked it's charter and when 1t
had some little claim to legality in Louisiana.
The Kentucky company had some backing i'll
the Kentucky Courts, but these decisions were
lately dsregarded by Mr.. Maynard, and his
action has not been Overruled-as yet. 1t is
safe however, to assume that these companies,
which are now likely in their common dis
comfture TO combine action to recover lost
ground, will endeavor to Influence Courts and
officials by other than legal arguments; and any
Court or Judge acting IN their interest, except
on strong and substantial grounds, is apt to ex-
cite attention and invite criticism. We shall be
clad to see the Courts, AZ well as the PostOflice
Department and cur own State and city au-
thorItcs, free from any such suspicion.

received from that liberal manager a box of cigars

others-that he is star self-c0nsttuted He has
not thrust himself into this position by dint of

of their position cannot be challenged.
Other results OF this Convention are
told in letter from Boston printed
on another page. In substance 1t is proposed
to take off q large number of the charges
and taxes resting on American shipping. and
to adhere to the policy of building American
ships of American materials In American
yards.
The country is to be congratulated on TINS
meeting of practical business men. The '1ree
ship conspiracy is defeated. The clouds are
cleared away from the important topic OF
the carrying trade, and practical remedies Tor
the lamentable decline of that interest have
been pointed out.

THE DEFEAT or FREE .SHIPSD

II was unfortunate that the National Con-
vention of Shipowners and others interested
in the restoration of our lost carrying trade,
should have been called to meet during a hot
political campaign. Public attention is dis
tracted at such time. In years like this the
whole country is dragged into the torrent of pO-
litical excitement. Even sober business men,
in whose creed it is usually text to keep out
of politics, are compelled TO devote themselves
to campaign work. The Shipping Convention
has not therefore received the public atten-
ton its importance demanded. The results of
it's deliberations, however, were valuable, and
its decisions cannot fail to have a marked
influence ON the future policy of the country.
A little handful of shipbuilders and ship
owners have been making gallant fight for
several years in behalf of national policy
for the restoration of the carrying trade.
They have had to contend with all insane cry
for free ships" started by agents of foreign
houses and by papers which have never yet
found out what is for the interest of our
large commercial cities and the country.
They have had hard task to accomplish,
but have always claimed that whenever prac-
teal business men should inform themselves
personally on this subject of shipping. they
would condemn all attempts to repeal the
Navigation laws and would lend their iDflu-
entail support to some aggressive policy for
the recovery of lost ground. The Convention
at Boston has shown them to be right. That
gathering was composed of men from all
parts of the North and West. The subject
was discussed dspassionately, and the free
ship movement was overwhelmingly defeated.
Former frce-shiD men put themselves on
record against it,
One important outcome of the Convention
! was the disclaimer by the shipbuiders, both
of the Delaware and of Maine, that they dc
not ask either for subsidies or bounties on
ship building. They propose small bounty
for ship-owneIs and demand the repeal OF the
unjust law which compels great steamer
worth half million of dollars to carry the
mails for Il song, or forfeit its privileges

stage coach is free 10 carry or not, and gett

Our special cable dispatches announce that
the British Conservatives are planning an
active movement against the renewal OF the
Ballot act. This measure was originally bOr-
rowed from the United STATES, its main
principle being secret voting at elections, of
which Mr.. Grote was so strenuous an advo-
cate. That something is out of gear In the
electoral mechanism of Great Britain is indl-
Gated by the large number of elections which
have been vitiated by charges of bribery, but
there is no reason TO suppose that secret vot-
ing is the root of the evil. The concurrent
testimony of impartial observers goes to prove
that the Ballot act has been a successful
experiment.. 1t will expire on the last day OF
this year, and consequently will be one OF the
earliest subjects of legislation when Parla-
ment meets.
