THE EVERGLADES.
Detailed Account OF the 'sTfmes.Demo'
erat'' Expedftioh,

NEw 6RiRASs, JANUARY 5.-The i'in.es-
Der.ocrai prints detailed account of its
Florida Everglades expedition. .,The re-
port, is written by Maj. A. p, williams,
commander Of the expedition. The ex-
ploring party consisted of twelve persons,
six white and six colored, and
carried six Racine canoes. They went
by steamer, October 18th, from Cedar
Keys to Punta Rosa, Fla, where
they took to their canoes and pruceeded
up the Ccheolalachie river to Lake Okee-
ch6bee, distance OF about ninety miles,
arriving on the, lst Of November. Skirt
Okeechobee, they discovered eight large
streams flowing into the dense saw-grass
swamp that borders the Everglades. En-
tering one of these streams, named "T.
D." the expedition proceeded to its
head and began the tedious work OF cut
ting their way through the swamp to the
saw-grass. The tlenseness Of this swamp
may be imagined from the fact that
tie party travelled on an. averase only q
quarter of a mile day. VI. riads OF huge
alligators, snakes, leeches and poisonous
bugs were encountered. The leeches were
especially troublesome, covering the legs
of the men. Emerging from the swamp
the party entered saw-grass, which grows
dense, with sharp edges that cut one way
and saw the other. This griss the party
fired anu pushed forward over the stub
BILE. After travelling due south some ten
miles the party struck innu1nerable small
deep lakes or ponds filled with alligators
and the finest fish. About thirty miles
from Okeechobee the party entered the
grassy waters of the Everglades, and en-
camped ON an, island, being the first dry
land encountered after leaving the lake.
The only trees on the island were custard,
apple aId wild fig. The progress of tt g
expedition thenceforth was more rapid.
They passeI through thousands of small
islands, some slightly submerged, and all
covered with trees and luxuriant foliage.
No Indians were encountered. The head
of Sharks river was reached on the 5th of
December; the expedition sailing down
debouched into White Water bay, on the
gulf coast, about thirty miles from Cape
Sable, distance Travelled from Okeecho-
bee to the gulf OF about 140 miles. The
whole distance in canoes was nearly 800
miles The expedition established the
fact that the Everglades from Okee-
chobee to Cape Sable are worthless
for any purpose of cultivation; that
they coEtaln no large tracts OF land
above water: that they cannot be success.
fully drained, and that the establishment
| and maintenance of telegraph lines along
the route traversed will be impossible.
The Everglades, and especially the north
ern glades, is a vast swamp, irreclaima-
BILE and useless for any purpose. The only
| cultivatable portions OF the southern
peninsula lie on the Atlantic and gulf
coasts, with this vast morass between
them.

THE LOTTERY CASES.
A Sweeping Decision Given I'm Favor Of
the Hank.

New ORLEANS, January 5.-Judge Par
dee, Of the United States Circuit Court,
to-day rendered all opinion In the case OF
the New Orleans. National Bank against
Postmaster, W. B, Merchant. The case
came DIP on motion to dissolve the in
junction first issued by Judge Tissot, Of
the Civil District Court, which was trans
ferred to the United States Court, enjoin-
ing Postmaster Merchant from interfering
with the mails addressed to the bank,
such action having been. taken
by the postmaster in obedience
to the orders OF the Postmaster
General on the ground that letters intend
ed for The lottery e9lnpany which wete de-
MED tie Use OF the mails were being
addressed to the bank. The judge said it
seemed to him doubtful whether the
order of 1880, permitting the use of the
mails to the lottery company, abrogated
the edict of 1879, forbidding their use
The Court held that the scheme de-
nounced by law is the distribution of
moneys through tile tfiails by means of
false and and fraudulent representations.
The facts found against the New Orleans
National Bank are Outside the law, but
the defendant cannot be held responsible
for obeying the orders of his superior.
The Court decided in favor of the bank, de-
creeing that it is entitled to the full and
free use of the mails. and further ordered
that the motion to dissolve the injunction
be denied.
