gushing the fire, but not until her clothing
caught fire. She had then apparently went

who know as well as I do the value of
my words, when I say to them, that
should this lottery get firmly planted
in this State, it will own and hold the
purchasable vote, solidly, in the hol-
low Gifts hands, forever, and through
it and by it the liberties, the property
and the honor of the people of Lou
isiana are at its feet. It would make
and unmake Governors, Judges, Sen.
otors, Representatives, Commission
ers of election. returning officers, as
sessorss and all other officials, at its
will Merit would be disregarded
and the test for office would not be
ability, integrity, public spirit or
worth, but subservency to the behests
of that company. Virtue would be
the very best bar to official position.

GovzRNoR's MESSAGE. space is
too limited for a publication of the
Message of Gov. Nioholls, sent to the
General Assembly on 18th instant, or
even for an abstract of it.
The Governor touches upon all
measures of interest and makes many
recommendations. He speaks in no
uncertain language on all subjects he
discusses, and if one does not agree
with him fully yet he must admit that
the Governor has opinions and con-
victions, and the courage and honesty
10 express them.
The Lottery claims his attention
and he discusses it at some length,
and makes an admirable and exhaus'
live argument against an extension
Of It's charter.
No one can doubt that the honor
Of Louisiana is safe while in the
custody of her soldier Governor.
