The Lottery Mail Business Settled.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 5.-Judge Pardee Of
the United States circuit court, to-day
rendered an opinion in tie case of the New
Orleans National bank againt Postmaster
w, B. Merchant. The case came up on q
motion to dissolve an injunction which
was first issued by Judge Tissot. OF the
civil district court and which was trans
ferred to the United States court, Genjoin-
ipcPostmaster Merchant from interfering
with the mails addressed to the bank, such
action having been taken by the post
master in obedience 10 the orders of the
postmaster general, on the ground that the
letters we're intended for the lottery COM
pany, who, being denied the use OF tie
mails, were being addressed to the bank
The Judge said it seemed to him
doubtful whether the order OF
1880, prohibiting the use of the mails
to lottery companies abrogated the edict
of 1879 forbidding their use. The court
held that the schemes denounced by the
law are the distribution of moneys through
the mails by means of false and frandu.
lent re presentations. The facts found
against the New Orleans National bank
are outside of the law, but defendant can
not be held responsible for obeylng the
orders of his superior. The court DECIDED
in favor of the bank, decreeing that it is
entitled to full and free use of the mails,
and further ordered that the motion to
dissolve the Injunction be denied.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 5.-The Times Demo
crat prints detailed accounts of its Florida
Everglades expedition. The report is
written by Major A. P. Williams, comman-
Ger of the expedition. The exploring party
consisted of twelve persons, six white and
six colored, and carried six Racine canoes.
They went by steamer On October II last,
from Cedar Keys to Punta Rassa, Ala,
where they took to the canoes, and
end proceeded up the Caloosat-
chic river to Lake Oaeechabee
a distance of about 80 miles, arriving the
frat OF November. Sk1rting the western
and southern shores on the Okeechobee
they discovered eight large streams flow
ing into the dense sawgrags swamp that
borders the everglades. Entering one of
the streams, which they named the Z. d.,
the expedition proceeded 10 its head and
began the tedions work OF cutting way
through the swamp OF sawgress. The
denseness of this swamp may be imagined
from the fact 5sat the party Travelled on
an average only of q quarter Of a mile
day. Myriads of huge
ALLIaATERs. SNAKES, LEECEEs
and poisonous bugs were encountered.
The leeches were especially troublesome,
covering their legs. They then emerged
from the swamp, and the party entered
the saw grass, which grows froas ten TO
twelve feet high, and very dense, with
sharp edges which cut one way and saw
the other. This grass the party fired, and
pushed forward over the ssabbs. After
travelling due south some ten miles hardly,
they struck inumerable small, deep
lakes or ponds filed with aligators and
the finest fish. About thirty miles from
Okeechobee, the party entered the grassy
waters of the everglades and encamped on
the island

THE New Years papers show solid pros.
perity all over the State, though there has not
been the feverish speculation that prevailed
from 1878 to 1881. The estimates of the min.
ing output vary from $500, 600 above to $500.
COO less than that of 1882. II is fair to assume
it is practically the same. This means a good
deal. because the fall in the price of lead has
seriously effected our mining interests during
the last three months. The output of silver,
gold, lead and copper may be fairly put at
$26, 900 600. Other mining interests, like
Gus. Over / ,lOO, 900 tons of coal were mined
las; year, and nearly 10000 tons of iron ore.
Our product OF pig iron amounted to over
20, 900 tons.
In agriculture no reliable statistics are Civ.
en-. 1t is known that the crops are the larg-
est ever produced, though the prices OF the
products have been less this year than ever
before. The bes; test OF the progress is that
nearly one thousand miles of ditch have been
built the las, year, which will Immediately
bring under cultivation some 700, 900 acres of
land. This acreage will immensely increase
our products when under cultivation. The
acreage Of land that may be cultivated will
greatly increase yearly with the same number
Of miles of ditch. Closely connected with
this is stock raising business. With a mini.
mum of l"sses and maximum of prices dur
ing the year, the result has been far more
profitable than in any previous year. How
profitable ii has been, the immense increase
in the value Of ranch property shows.
IL has been a common saying in Colorado
the past year that business is dull. But the
result Of the years business does not show il.
We have largely increased our products and
our capacity for producing in every direction.
Business, however, must be done on closer
business principles than in our years OF re-.
markable prosperity. But this is a hcalthful
condition of affairs, and indicates that we are
on a solid basis OF prosperity. 1t should al
ways require business sagacity and honesty
to make money, and this seems TO be the situa-
ton to-day. Colorado is no longer the place
for broken down eastern merchants and pro-
fessional men. Such people did well in 1850.
but cannot now. The requisites for success
in Colorado are the same Us in the East

ter, and the modus opcrandi necessary to
make the change. Article II, section 3, of
the Constitution of the State of Colorado, has
the following to say on the subject: " No
part of the territory of any county shall be

without first submitting the question to the
qualified voters of the county from which the
territory is proposed to be stricken off; nor
unless majority of all the qualified voters
of said county voting on the question shall
vote therefor" A bill would have to be
firr passed by the Legislature authorizing
the change
