Ex-Gen. Grant, in his great inter-
national farewell tour, previous to
his retirement to private life, has
reached New Orleans, where he will
remain on exhibition for few days.
He was formally received by the
city authorities. Gen. Cyrus Bussey
delivered an address of welcome, to
which Gen. Grant responded in an
exceedingly interesting little speech.
Indeed, we cannot refrain from CIV
ing our readers the benefit of an ex-
tract from the remarkable address
of Usually Silent Grant. He said:
"By careful cultivation of the soil,
the sugar product can be largely in
creased"
Here is craftsmanship, eloquence,
deep study, reflection, oratory, keen
perception, sound logic, experience,
wisdom, virtue, genius, foresight,
patriotism, great legal lore, a sound
mind and level head, all in a nut
shell.

GENERAL LOTTERY BILL.

-
The general lottery bill has pass
ed the Senate and will now come
UP for consideration in the House.
Our Senator, Mr.. Settor, voted for
the bill, and in explaining his vote,
spoke in substance as follows:
He said that he was opposed to
gambling in general, and lotteries
in particular, on principle; that he
was opposed to this bill and to its
tendencies, but he was constrained
to vote Eyes" on the final passage of
the bill, because it had been said
that after voting against postpone
ment of the consideration of the
bill on Wednesday, he was COM
PEELED to be absent on Thursday,
and by reason of his absence it was
charged that he was that nineteenth
man of which so much had been
said; that, although opposed to the
bill, to prevent false impression
from arising il. the minds of his
constituents and friends, he was
constrained to vote eyes"
A stfenuous effort was made in
the Senate to defeat this bill. Every
conceivable argument was brought
to bear against it, and members OF
the Senate even tried to prevent its
passage upon technical grounds,
claiming that the word "shall," in
the clause in the new Constitution
empowering the Legislature to
grant charters to lottery compa-
mics, under certain conditions, left
it discretionary with the members
of the Legislature, whether they
should grant charters to new lot
terry companies or not. But not,
withstanding the efforts made tc
preserve the Louisiana Lottery
Company in the enjoyment Of it:
monopoly privilege, in direct viola
ton of the spirit and intent of the
law, Us expressed in the new Consti
tuition, the friends of the bill havt
secured its passage in the Senate
by vote of 20 yeas to IA nays.
/ The maintenance of q monopol,
of any character, whether it be i,
cotton factory, sugar refinery, 1
railroad company or lottery com
pany, is contrary to the spirit of on,
free institutions, and SO long as tn,
lottery is made virtually legiti
mate business, sanctioned by tn,
laws of the State, no man or cor
poration should have the exclusiv
right to carry on the business.
