Want u Dakota Charter,

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 24-Concerning the
recent efforts of the Louisiana lottery company
to obtain new charter in Dakota, Gen. Jubal
A. Early, joint commissioner of the drawings
OF that institution with Gen Beauregard.
makes public statement in which he says the
Louisiana lottery company had nothing TO do
With the proposition reported TO have been
made in the North Dakota legislature, nor had
the company any connection with the propo-
sition. Gen. Early also pronounces
as unfounded the statement that
the company proposes to procure a renewal of
Its Charter by bribing the legislature of Louis
iana- The constitution of that state, the gen.
erai says, prohibits the charter of any lottery
after the expiration Of that Of the present COM
pany. The statement that the lottery company

A CANAL RECEIVER
Judge Alvey Delivers a Decision at
Hag&rstown Against the Bond HolderA

Special dispatch 20 THE EVENING STAR
HAoERsrowS. MD., Feb. 2A-The suits
brought in the circuit court OF WASH
ing;on county sitting as court OF
equity, by the Chesapeake and Ohio canal bond
holders, under the acts respectively of ls&4 and
1873, against the canal company, in which the
complainants ask for the appointment Of re-
ceivers and finally the sale of the canal, has
been decided by Judge Alvey in an opinion
which was given the press last evening.
The opinion is exhaustive and compre-
hensive, in which Judge Alvey clearly expresses
the opinion that neither the canal company,
the state nor the minority OF the bond
holders OF 1854, all Of whom appeared in court
as defendants, had any legal right 10 30 appear
ana shows that the complainants have, under
the terms OF their several contracts, q right
TO a receiver. He says he will appoint receiv-
ers, but has not as yet named them, and inti-
mates IN his opinion that il can be settled at
once whether the receivers will be permitted to
restore and operate the canal as a waterway be-
cause such restoration might entail a great
amount OF expenditures to the prejudice Of
existing creditors. The action of Judge
Alvey has created no surprise here, as
1t was generally conceded he vould
decide to appoint receivers, and when he does
II is the general impression that Mr.. Victor
Cushwa OF Williamspoxt will be named as one
of the number along the river districts. The
decision is received with much favor under the
belief that it will restore the canal as a water
way. Others living remote from the canal, but
familiar with its history, are in favor OF lease
or sale, and this sentiment is clearly shown by
interviews by The STAR correspondent with
leading citizens from all sections Of the county.
The citizens of sharpsburg this county, q
canai-bordering district, gave violent express
sions to their feelings on Saturday evening by
hanging in efigy Gov. Jackson and Messrs.
Moses Whltson and J. II. Harp, members Of the
Legislature of this county, who advocated and
voted for the lease to the Washington and Cum
berland railroad company

Like Banquo's ghost, the charges against
Superintendent James Mcknight, of Schen-

to American citizens, will not down. A
meeting will be held in Controller Morrow's
private Office tomorrow morning, at which
it is expected there will be present Mayor
Gourley, Controller Morrow, Park Super
intendent Mcknight, Street Commissioner
Paisley, and several gentlemen whose names
the Controller will not divulge who claim to
have important evidence against the park
superintendent in relation to his discharging
citizens from work at Schenley Park and
refusing work to others, giving foreigners
the preference.
The Controller is determined to get at the
bottom Of these complaints and, while Mr..
Mcknight denies the charges point blank,
he is desirous of giving his accusers chance
to prove their statements.
The men who made the charges were to
have been on hand yesterday, but did not
show up. Mr.. Mcknight was around wait.
