A LOTTERY Casa dispatch from
Richmond, Va, dated the 18th, says: In
the case OF the United States VS.. B. S.
Mason, involving the individual right to
send lottery tickets through the mails by
a purchaser, Judge Hughes has decided
against the United States. The facts pre-
sented were us follows Mason purchased
q ticket which drew prize, and assuming
q fictitious name wrote to an agent of the
Lottery Company. This letter, under Post
master General Gresham's recent order,
was sent to the dead letter office in Wash
ington, to which point it was traced by
United States Inspectors, opened and by
correspondence with the fictitious writer
of the letter, Mason's identity was estab-
lished. Subsequently the letter was pre-
scented to- the grand jury in Richmond, and
Mason was indicted. The case was pre-
sented for trial, with the result stated
The court held that Mason, who was not
an agent, had perfect right to use the
mails. The case is unique, in the fact that
for the first time in the history of the Gov
eminent the sanctity of the mails was
violated, upon which was based solely the
Indictment against Mason.

Hon. A. S. Hewitt, member of Congress
from New York, and q prominent Demo-
crat. is afflicted with insomnia. 1t is diff
cult for him to get sleep and the least noise
disturbs his nervous system. In the To-
callty of his rooms is a dog belonging to a
baker. which barks at odd times in the
night, and rooster which manifests his
gratitude for the opening day by lusty
growing. To both Of these natural de-
monstrations, Mr.. fHewett objects, and
wishes them abolished as nuisances. Why
u good Democrat should want a rooster
abolished at this time, can not be explained
from any patriotic standpoint. If Mr.. II.
were q Republican we could understand
thereas0n of it. But why the Democratic
national bird should come under his dis
pleasure at a time when he is peculiarly ap
propriate and has been greatly in demand
is Il mystery The bird will hayeto live.
let the fate of the dog be what it may.

appreciation of Bismarck.

There is a very friendly feeling at the home
of Judge Clifford towards Bismarck, and it is
not forgotten that the Bismarck influence
turned the scale to the south Dakota man at
Pierre. Still the Canton Nears man does no
more than justice to the fine structure in
this: Business recently called US to Bis
marck, and while there we took a leisurely
survey OF the new capitol building. To say
that we were surprised and pleased but family
expresses our feelings as we viewed its mag
nifcent proportions and splendid architect
ure The hall of representatives and the
council chamber are two large, airy and well
lighted rooms that will amply accommodate
the two branches OF the Legislature for years
to come, and their Unreasonable superiority
to the legislative cOOps that have been Occu-
pied so many years in Yankton, will prove
pleasant surprise to all the old members.
The cost OF the building, including steam
heating, sewerage, water closets, etc., is about
$50, 900.
The commissioners win turn over to the
legislature for the use and benefit of the
territory, in addition to the capitol building,
uusold lots valued at $50, 900, besides 100
acres of land not yet plated.
The great hullaloloo raised by the YanktOn
crowd and their aiderS ana aDeLtOrS, ana all
the devilish meanness exhibited by corrupt
and venial officials who sought by the most
disreputable methods to obstruct the opera
ton and execution Of the law removing the
eapitOl-all this-has ayailed nothing except
TO cause a loss 10 the territory Of a consider
able sum, probably 500, 00O, as the property
/ sold would have sold much more readily and
at much greater prices had not the
| question of legality been raised by these vic
iOus persons. The law was carried out. The
territory has splendid capitol, and instead
Of being asked to pay for its erection, the
people have an immense structure free
| of debt, and land and town lots that win be
worth nearly as much more. The result of
their two years work will be lasting monu-
ment to the honesty, industry and heroic ex-
/ ertions of the capitol commissioners. In the
face of difficulties that seemed we'll nigh I'M
| surmountable, they pushed forward to the
| discharge of their official duties and prOsecu-
ted to a successful termination the task al
| lotted to them. Whatever differences of OPP
/ pinion may have existed as to the wisdom
of the law, the splendid results completely
! Justify the action of the legislature, and the
people will say of those who made the law,
| and those who carried out its provisions /:
