IN FAVOR OF THE T

change, Nj. Ashton Phelps, said
upon . subject Of wide pervading
interest:
81 feel towards . renewal of the
lottery's charter q I feel toward
the questions Of high license and
prohibition. Personally I am OPP
posed to lotteries, and IL I thought
that lottery playing could be pre-
vented I would oppose any further
extension Of the charter, but I do
not. 1t is better to have one strong
lottery company, conducted on busi-
ness principles, than half . dosen
concerns. II the company
will pay . fair prize for the privi-
lege-a price commensurate with
the value Of the franchise-I will
favor the acceptance Of the PROPOSE
The above Is the sentiment of nine
put Of every ten men in the State.

The Item desires to inpress TIE
above divine Injunction upon the
conscience Of Rev. VIM. ". Elwan9,
pastor Of the Franklin Street Memo
rial Church.
Attic small but select antilottery
meeting last evening the gentleman
averred that the press Of New Or
leans refused to publish anything
adverse to the lottery.
This incorrect assertion does the
Item . grave injustice. When the
New York Worlds recent attack on
the Lottery Company appeared, .
representative Of . leading local in
stitution called 1t this Office and,
stating that al the copies of the
paper containing the article had
been brought up. while alarge num-
Der Of well-t0-dO-citizens desired to
read It, asked IL We would give it
space in our columns.
He ct the same time, OF course,
offered to pay the costs Of its repro
ductiOn, asserting that he would
have M difficulty In raising the
mOney-could do it in ten minutes.
This gentleman spoke in perfect
good faith; but when his PROPOSE
ton was accepted and he returned
to the sharp cens0rs Of the press
for their contributions he soon found
that be could not raise the required
sum, small - It was.
Therefore, We say unto tho Rev.
Elwang to be more careful, for the
Master commands: "Th0u shalt
not bear false witness against thy
neighbor."
The above injunction viii also
apply to Rev. DR.. Walker, Of the
Methodist Church, who made the
same assertion. Ministers should
Confine themselves to the truth.

The School Board met last Satur.
day, and . number of persons have
asked US what they did about OPEN

Board is too poor to pay Us . small
pittance for the work, We viii do it
for nothing, ~ We always have
done, provided the copy is furnish

decided to open some Of the schools
but not all of them.

ANTI-LOTTERY.

The first Of . series OF anti-lot-
terry meetings, under the auspices
Of the Evangelical Ministers Union
was held last Tuesday night At the
Felicity street church, New Orleans.
Some two hundred people were
present, mostly ladies. Speeches
were made by several preachers,
who admitted that the Louisiana
Company was legally and
constitutionally right, but they
that it was morally wrong.
They are going to oppose it on the
ground that it IL immoral. On the
same ground they are opposed to
theater going, Sunday ex-
cursions, etc. They win find It .
difficult task to convince the hum
dreds Of thousands Of people in
(outside Of their own
limited circle,) who indulge In
these things, that there b anything
immoral about it. The State 10
