THE ANTI-L0TFBRY LAWS OF THE
GOVERNMENT AND THE STATE.

The an~ti-lottery bill was passed
by Congress to eradicate an evil
which lowered the social and polit
ical standard of the whole country
and which had, as it were, grown
from a pimple on the fair face oil
Louisiana into an epidemic OF
sores, disfguring her sister States.
Contagfon becomes widespread
unless arrested in time and stamp
ed through heroic remedies. We
submit without dispute, to an &C.
ton of the Government to prevent
or relieve us from the ravages of a
scourge, Or a debasing immigrant
invasion. We do so because we
rely upon the wisdom of those we
have chosen to represent us, who,
when with no other object in
view than that of the general
good, place a barrier in front of an
enemy.
The anti-lottery law guarantees
the mails against fraudulent mat
ter pronounced as such, long in
advance, by the statutes of many
of the States, and confirmed in
their national capacity of the
whole sisterhood, including the
honorable vote of Louisiana in ia
vor.
Mississippi has an anti.lottery
law, which if enforced will put a
stop to al illicit traffic, which is
being carried on behind so thin a
gauze that any one, man, woman
or child, can see The workings and
send hard earned dollars to be in
vested in tickets or portions there
Of and pay an additional charge
for delivery. We call upon the
proper authorities of the State to
enforce this law, and will continue
to do so, even if it shall become
necessary to point out how this
can be easily done.
1t is not "Liberty' to defraud
the public, but the ingenious con
triyance of unbridled adventure,
gambling, that schemes upon the
weak susceptibility of ignorance
and misplaced confidence, and
which through a lottery bait,
catches the unwary and disturbs
the even tendency of honest labor
and honorable enterprise; the
passion for its chances, not on
what it is fed upon, but on its
promises "to pay" which are so
distantly kept that only one, per
haps, in ten thousand wins a por.
ton of a petty, and one in ten
millions hat of a capital prize.
The majority of victims half starve
in the meantime

Mr.. DAvDC HEyNEssEY, Chief OF
Police of New Orleans, was MUIR
dered last week within a few feet
of his own door steps. 1t seems
that Hennessey had hunted down
several Dago murderers and had
incurred the enmity of what was
known as the italian Settlement.
where murders had become a com
mon crime. Several of the worst
kind have been arrested and no
doubt the authorities will hunt
down the set and they will be pun
ished as they deserve.

The Commonwealth, the Neu Mis-.
stssiPpiGn, published at Jackson,
and the Ner Farmer, the Alliance
organ at Winona, will be merged
into one journal by or before the
first of November. The first Two
papers have purchased the Nelo
Farmer, including its advertising
patronage, subscription list and
good Will. The Executive Com
mIitee of The Slate Alliance has
ratified The arrangement, and
elected the new paper the official
journal of the Stale Alliance.
This is a strong combination, and
with Messrs. Edgar S. Wilson and
Ell. L. Martin as editors and pro-
prietnrs, the new venture is bound
10 succeed, and The State will have
at the Capital a bold, fearless
public newspaper.
