port told yesterday. Congressman Venable was
unseated. and Langston (colored) was seated
in his place. Never was baser outrage COM
mitted against Virginia. 1t would have been
shame II any district In Virginia had elected
negro to Congress. But the unseating of Mr..
Venable, who was elected by a large majority,
for the purpose OF seating the negro contestant,
is diabolical crime that only a lawless, flend-

white voter in Virginia who has particle Of

of Venable ahd seating of Langston ought to

For the SPECTATOR.
The Strange Inconsistency of Men!

All who have kept themselves familiar
with the proceedings of Congress must
have observed the fierce warfare that has
been waged by that body on Lotteries.
The whole power of the Government has
been exercised to suppress them. 1t has
been made criminal offence to transmit
Lottery tickets by mail, or even to send,
through the mails, any newspaper contain
ing an advertisement of lottery.
Yet, in the face of these strenuous efforts
to suppress this system of gambling, we
can hardly pick up Virginia newspaper
which does not contain a series of speculat
ing advertisements of "Booms' of towns
and villages, one of the most conspicuous
features of which is, the disposal of thou
sands of town lots, by Lottery! It is held
to be most wicked and mischievnus thing
for man to bay ticket for dollar or
two. in a regular Lottery, Authorized by
law; but on the other hand, it is regarded as
an evidence of Enterprise and public spirit,
to spend hundreds of dollars in buying
shares of stock, which will enable the holder
to draw, most probably, worthless lot, in a
ldnd-lottery! What is the difference in
principle, between the two systems? They
are both gambling TRANSACTIONS! One is
gambling for money,-the other for "corner
.ots"! Practically, the '1and.lottery" is
the most mischievous of the two, because
the amount put at hazard in the Gland lot
terry" is generally fifty or hundred times
larger than in irregular lottery" Tor prizes
in money.
Sensible men wonder why 30 many re-.
spectacle persons-men of good character,
members Of the different churches, per-
haps deacons, and elders, and sometimes
even ministers of the Gospel, are duped in
to patronizing these specializing and often
fraudulent enterprises. The gambling fea-
ture is the attractiUe feature of both schemes!
Ran is gambling ANIMAL Men hope to
draw valuable lots, by investing a com
pAratively small amount in the purchase of
a share of stock, which is, in substance,
the ticket in the "iand.lottery", in which
they expect to draw glittering prize.
A man who has surplus dollar or two
in his pocket, may buy tioketin regu-
lar money-lottery,-draw blank, and
think no more about it. But the man or
woman who subscribes $50 or 500, Gotten
borrowcd)to invest in ticket or share in
lanG-lottery,is often brought to grief! The
whole system is demoralizing and mis-.
chievous, and should be frowned upon by
the publish.
