The NEW YORK Herald asserts the be-
lief that the demoralirine influence OF the
Louisiana Lottery is shown in the savings
bank figures Of that State Between 1879
and 1850" says the Herdld, "the savings
banks in the whole country have nearly
doubled the aggregate amount or their de-
posits But the deposits in the saving.
banks of Louisiana, which were only
100000 in 1850, hal dropped to s9i5-
O0O.-lcss than half-iu lSsS-9" The HeaH
draws from these facts the inference that
the surplus earnings of the poor people OF
Louisiana went into the pockets Of the
lottery company But, why did not the
surplus earnings Of the poor people Of other
States goiuto the pockets Of that company
Is Il logical to assert that (l) the Louisiana
Lottery Is located in louisiana t2l the ie-
posits Of the savings banks Of that state
we're decreased between 1850 aud 1850
81 ,OS6, 600; aud therefore (3) this decrease
went into the pockets Of the lottery com
pany? n this is logical, how can the fact
be explained that the savings banks in the
other states have nearly doubled the az
gregate amount Of their deposits, and that
the patronage Of the lottery is derived
principally from those States Undoubt-
edly a greater proportion Of the people Of
Illinois, for instance than Of Louisiana,
patronizes the lottery, and yet the savings
bank business OF Illinois is not in an un-
fourishing condition. or course, the lot
terry business is not an elevating business
but IL can't I've put down by the savings
bank objection.
FRED. MISSY, a well-known Washing
ton correspondent OF the Cincinnati Com
mcrcidi Gdseitc, is now in Richmond doing
the Lee monument affair. Among other
things Of interest he has this to say about
the display Of Confederate bunting.
In going about this city today and OBJ
serving the decorations, | notice that nearly,
II not all, Of the Confederate flags displayed
are Of Northern manufacture. Certainly
$4,000 Confederate flags have been manu-
facturcd In the North aud sent here for dis
play on this occasion. | have been into
many places whose fronts are ornamented
with flags Of the Confederacy, and have OBJ
tained the names Of the manufacturers OF
the banners. found that the flags aud
bunting came from two cotton factories IN
Connecticut and Massachusetts,. ! also
learned that one factory In Ohio had made
a bid for the delivery of confederate flags
in Richmond. As the contract stands,
nearly all of the flags aud the bunting Is
furnished by Massachusetts, firm, and the
particulars OF this deal may possibly be
furnished by Hon. Ben Butler.
Without stopping 10 consider what the
Rev. Eliot Fuhoso Shepard will say to
all this, We proceed 10 quote the paragraph
With which Mr. Mussey closes his dispatch
