at Of colleges, for the making OF roads, Tor
the building Of bridges, for the improve
ment Of ferries. for the erection OF hos.
pitfalls, and for various other purposes
equally commendabls and beneficial. All
these were clearly within the prohibition.
The prohibition was not aimed at the OBJ.
jects for which lotteries had been author
lied, but at that particular mode OF aocom.
plishing such objects. II was founded on
the moral principle that evil should not BE-
done that good might follow. and upon the
moro cogent practical reason that the evil
consequent on this pernioious kind Of
gambling grestly overbalsnced In the
aggregate any good likely TO result from
Il. The promotion OF the fns arts II nm.
doubtedly commendable object, but the
prohibition contains NO exception In its
favor on that ground.
The intention Of the trainers Of the Con.
stitution undoubtedly was 70 forbid the
future granting Of any such lotteries -
had at any time previously been author
ized By law. and by requiring the Legis.
laturs 70 pass laws 70 prevent the sale Of
all lottery tickets, TO put an end TO all
suoh distributions Of money or goods BY
lot or chance - had heretofore been for.
hidden BY statute under the pame Of
private lotteriss."
The argument that the words "by this
State" wore inserted for the purpose Of
preventing tho Legislature from suthorix
ing public lotteries - . means Of raising
revenue. and that the provision was not
intended 70 prevent the Legislature from
authorizing private lotteries. II wholly an.
tsnabls. No authority has been produced
In IL support and We are sats6ed that
none can b found.

DEATH OF SENATORS CARPEN-
TER.

Senator Mathew Fl. Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, died at Washington City
on the oath ult., of Bright's disease
of the kidneys.
In the death of Senator Carpenter
the United States Senate loses one
of its most brilliant members, and
the republican party one of its most
gifted supporters.
Senator Carpenter was born at
Moretown, VT, in 1924, making
him 56 years of age at the time of
his death. When young man he
secured an appointment to West
Point, but after a two years stay,
he left the military academy to
study law under the celebrated
Rufus Choate. He removed to Mil
waukee, Wis, some years after
wards and rapidly rose to the top
most round of the ladder in his
profession, winning a high reputa-
ton, both as hard, untiring stu
dent and an eloquent and brilliant
advocate at the bar. In 1869 he
entered the United States senate,
succeeding Jas. r. Doolittle, DEM
Ocrat, an was an efficient member
of the Judiciary and patent commit
tees, and often was called to preside
as temporary chairman of that body.
His far-famed and brilliant success
at his home and the Washington
bar, and The great idolatry with
which he was regarded by the citi
zens of Wisconsin, gave him much
prestige, and his high reputation
was ably sustained SIS a United
States senator. During his career
in the senate he repeatedly justified
his claims to high consideration as
an eloquent, ingenious and ready
speaker. 1t will be remembered
that he appeared before the famous
to electoral commission i'm 1877
as one of the counsel for Mr. Tilden,
or, as he put it, not for Mr.. TiIden
or the democracy, but "for ten
thousand legal voters of the state of
Louisiana, who without accusation
or proof, indictment or trial, notice
or hearing, have been DISTINGUISHED
by four villains incorporated in per-
/ petual succession, whose official title
/ is the returning board of Louisi-
ana"
He was again elected, in 1879, to
the place which he held in the q.
s. Senate at the time of his death,
and held his own in any contest,
and was ranked with such men as
Blaine and EdmOnds, though per-
| haps he lacked the stability and
sternness of character which charac-
| terizes these men. He died COM
paratively poor, with the exception
of his life-insurance, which is said
| to be $50, 1t is said that his last
wish was to have his remains Gre
mated. Although he was by no
means bitter partisan, the repub-
lican party loses in his death leader
whose place it will be hard to fill,
