a more favorable comparison with the same period

borne in mind that nearly all the gain was made III
the first seven months Of the year, since which time

merchandise has little more than held its own; III

THE friends of the Shipping bill, which
passed tho Senate last Thursday in an
amended form from that in which it came
from the House, have been making can
yass of the latter body to ascertain how
matters stand. They say that nearly every
Member with whom they have converscd
expresses himself as favorable to concurring
in the Senate amendments. The principal
amendment is that which strikes out tho
free-ship clause of the bill Tho absence of
that clause does not seem to initiate against
the measure. In fact it was put in the bill
by the House with the expectation that the
Senate would strike it out. 1t was merely
put in as sort of tariiT-reform tub. 1t
was all that the House is liable to accom-
plish in that direction.

SPENCER AGAINST BREWSTER.
The AttOrney.GeneraI TO 10 Sued
for Damages for the Arrest OF the
Ex.SeuatOr.

tU AIO ssHEN
for Damages for the Arrest OF the
Ex-senator.
1t is understood that the suit OF ex-senator
Spencer against Attorney General Brewster
Will be filed IN the court In fow days. per-
hsps some time in the coming week. Ex-
Governor Boutwell, and eS.Distrlct Attorney
Corkhill will appear for ex-senator Spencer.
The case is likely to excite considerable at
tentioD, and according to the friends OF Mr.
Spencer, Will develop some very Interesting
testimony In reference 10 the action OF tho
Attorney-General. IL will be claimed that the
MtorneyGeneral ordered, on his own motion,
spencer's arrest at his home, Cherry Greek,
New, by telegraph, and had him brought here
at great expense, guarded by two United States
marshals, as II hcwas great State criminal,
and then on his arrival demanded that large
bail be required, for no other purpose than TO
magnify a case that had nothing 10 it.
Twill bo oitod that the Star Route trials
were over, the defendants all acquitted, Spen-
GERS presence or testimony was not wanted
for any matter in which tho Government had
any interest. II he had dtsobeyed n process OF
the court, the court was able TO preserve its
own authority and dignity. Tho whole affair,
except TO Spencer was farce, and ho alleges
that his arrest was merely ordered by tho At

The Winters.

We did not fear them once the dull gray morn
No cherries burden on our spirits laid;
The long night watches did not bring us warn
ings
That we We're tenants of a house decayed.
The early SHOWS like dreams to us descended;
The frost did fairy work on pane and bough
Beauty, and power, and wonder, have not end.
How is it that we fear the winters now:
Their home fires fall as bright on hearth and
chamber.
Their northern starlight shines as coldly clear
The woods still keep their holly for December
The world welcome vet for the new year.
And far away in old remembered places
The snowdrop rises and the robin sings;
The sun and moon look out with loving faces;
Why have ourd days forgot these goodly things
Why is it now the north wind finds us shaken
BY tempests fiercer than its bitter blast,
Which fair beliefs and friendships, too. have
taken
Away like summer foliage as they passed;
And made life leafless in its pleasant valleys,
Waning the light of promise from our day.
Till the miss meet even in the inward palace,
A dimness not like theirs to pass away?
1t was not thus when dreams of love and laurel,
Gave sunshine to the winters of our youth,
Before its hopes had fallen into fortunes quar-
rels.
Or time had bow ed them with his heavy truth
Ere yet the twilighs found us strange anC
lonely,
With shadows coming when the fire burn,
low.
To tell of distant graves and losses only;
The past that cannot change and will not 60
Alas dear friends the winter is within Us.
Hard is the ice that grows about the heart,
With petty cares and vain regrets that win Us
From life's true heritage and better part.

But nations toll ana tremble even AS we,
Hoping for harvests they will never gather,
Fearing the winters which they may not see

HOW THE GAMBLERS CONTROL LOUISIANA.
GOVERNMENT CORRUPTED BY A COMPANY
WHICH BOASTS OF BEING ABLE TO BUY ANY
MAN.
The final outcome of the struggle be-
tween the postmaster general and the
LOUISIANA State lottery company is await
ed here with the greatest anxiety and in
tereSt because the proceedings are re
garded as a big stride toward turning
point i'll the fortunes of a monstrous and
vicious organization which has over
Swallowed the State. Here the concern
has nothing as yet to fear. Sheltered be-
hind false pretenses and fraud, intrench-
ed within a bulwark OF bribery and Off
cial corruption almost past belief, and
holding PROSTATE the executive, the law
making and the administrative powers
of the government, it has defed and con
tlnues to defy all attempts to suppress it
or to curtail its enormous power. Its eX-
lstence-d despite its own pleas and asser-
tons to the cOntrary-ls only a matter of
Sut1erance. 1t has not nOw-and there
is good reason for saying it never had-sC
lawful existence. In defiance, however,
of the facts it has gone on asserting that
~ 90 wv SlCtttlOl vi tuC tOlttuC,
and until recently it referred in its pub
lished announcements to the State and
city officers as authority for its legality
and standing. The removal of the last
mentioned statement from its advertise
ments was made wholly for political rea-
sons and in view of the holding of the
Democratic State convention which was
had at Baton Rouge, beginning on the
18th inst. There is no doubt whatever
that it has the sanction of the Democrat
ic State government in one sense, and
that is that it owns and controls the gov
eminent No one in official station dares
move a step to crush it, although all who
have examined into the matter know it
has no just OF legal claim to existence.
This fact alone would be fatal to the con-
Germ were it only a corporation. But it
is more than this. 1t is virtually the
State itself in all its functions. 1t sits in
the executive mansion, one of its adver-
tised and paid agents being member of
the governors staff. 1t dominates in the
legislature by open and protested bri-
berry, and officers of the local governments
and prosecutors in nearly every impor-
tant parish in the State are its tools.
Even mayors of cities, among them the
mayor of the capital of the State, are
