TO STAMP OUT LOTTERIES.

Provisions OF q Radical Measure Intended TO
Exterminate the Louisiana Swindie.
epeeiai to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-President Van
Benthuysen. of the Poughkeepsie Bridge
Company, has peculiar and eccentric fad.
This fad is war on the Louisiana Lottery
Company. For many years he has been its
sternest and most vigorous foe. During
the coming session of Congress he proposes
to redouble his efforts, and will submit
three bills which he hopes will drive the
lottery company out of existence. The
first will be an amendment TO the postoficc
appropriation bill. which will contain
provision that no mail of any kind shall be
delivered to any persons directly or indi-
rectly concerned with lottery company.
The object is to prevent several national
hanks in New Orleans from acting IA the
agents of the company under their charters
TO do banking business from the federal
government. The second bill will be in
the form of an amendment to the inter
state-commerce law. and will prohibit the
carving of packages of any description to
the lottery companies OF their agents The
third bill will be an amendment 10 the
national banking act prohibiting national
banks from being the agents of any lottery
concern. or doing business for them. The
lottery lobby here has gotten wind OF the
intentions of Van Benthuysen and is max
ing preparations for q stout fight against
them both in committee and IN Congress-
