The movement on foot to recon
struct the old Gayoso House and
open it as q 6rst-claSs hotel to meet
the growing demands Of the public is
generally approved, but does not,
perhaps, meet with the encourage
ment and support it deserves. The
owners have subscribed the property
as so much stock, and some Of them
have taken additional stock. A
charter has been obtained, and a
company organized as follows;
NJ. L. Meacham, President; j. G
Neely, j. T. Fargason, Napoleon Hill,
VIM. NJ. harrington, F. M. White
W. NJ. Stewart, Directors, and Z. H.
White. Secretary. In order to raise
funds to restore the house it is pro-
posed to issue 100000 ia twenty year
bonds, which il was hoped the property
holders in the immediate vicinity
would be ready to take. Some
have subscribed literally. Others
have declined to subscribe
dollar, hoping doubtless
that the enterprise will go on, and
that they will realize a large benefit in
the increased value Of their property
and rentals, Up to date only about
$37, 900 has been taken, and there is
more apprehension that the scheme
will fall through. 1t is the opinion
OF experienced business men that
with three more important railroads
that will be here this year, and {
general increase Of travel and business
Memphis can very we'll support an
other irst-class hotel. The railroads
have promised to have passenger
depot in front Of the GayOso If it il
opened again as a hotel, Those wht
are able and have faith in Memphis
it would seem, might take all thest
bonds at once and assure the CARL
success OF this enterprise. The SO
cu,i'y is believed to be ample.

LOUISIANA LOTTERY.
II Is Now Having Things All Its
Own Way.

Washington special to Chicago Tribune.
About year ago the House
adopted a resolution directing the
Postmaster General to furnish infor
nation whether al order was issued
by the Postofhoe Department forbid
ding the payment of any postal money
orders or the delivery of any regis
tered letter to NJ. A. Dauphin or any
other agent Of the Louisiana Lottery
Company, and directing the return OF
the same TO the postofiices where first
obtained or deposited; whether said
order had been enforced, and, if so,
for what length Of time; whether
there had been any subsequent
order suspending the first named
order, and, if so, when and for
what purpose, and also whether the
first or subsequent order was then 10
force, and what we're the limitations
affecting it. This resolution was re
ferted to the Committee on Postoffices
and Post roads. 1t is understood
that no action has ever been taken
by the PostOfhoe Committee, although
it is said that Mr.. Money, a member
Of that committee, has prepared re
port on the subject going over the
whole ground respecting the publica.
tion and circulation of lottery Sdver-
tisements, circulars and tickets, which
he has not presented to the committee
for its action, simply because no
meeting OF the committee has been
called for long time. When Judge
Key was Postmaster General rather
vigorous effort was made to
prevent the use Of the mails for the
benefit of the Louisiana and other
lottery companies. An order was is.
sued preventing the use Of the mails,
SO far as practicable, for the company
The attorneys Of the company pro
cured an injunction restraining the
Postmaster General from enforcing
that order. The injunction was tried
in the Supreme Court of the District
Of Columbia and dismissed. An ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme Court
Of the United States, pending which
the Postmaster General suspended the
execution of the order. The appeal
in the Supreme Court was af,erward
dismissed. This. OF course, lett
the original Judgment of the
District supreme Court to
stand, but it is understood that since
the dismissal Of the appeal no effort
was made by either Postmaster Gen
erals Maynard, James, or the present
Postmaster General, to enforce the
order. OF course it was understood
that the PostOfhce Department took
the ground at the beginning that il
could not prevent the circulation in
the mails Of regular publications, such
as newspapers and other periodicals
which contained in their advertising
columns lottery advertisements without
iurther legislation.
A bill was introduced last Monday
for the purpose, by Mr.. Robertson, o.
Louisiana, who has been made the
victim of the lottery company and,
through its influence, was defeated fol

THERE seems to be but little doubt
that Colonel NJ. 7. Polk is in very
precarious state Of health. 1t is not
probable that he will live long, in Jail
or out, The decline had set in before
he left Nashville for Mexico, and has
been hastened by the circumstances
attending his arrest and return, and
by close confinement since in a jail
that is necessarily damp from being on
the banks of the river.
