THE LOTTERY.
INDIAN BAYOU, July ist.

Editor MERtDIoNAL.
I am not j subscriber ia your pa,
per, but take the liberty of offering
a few thoughts through your journal
being encouraged thereto by the
stand you are said to have taken on
the lottery question, and for which
you are receiving many plandfts
from admirers Of your course, per
haps unknown to you. I not only
desire to join with them, but also
to respectfully express my decided
approval of a firm stand in this
crisis of the question, now being.
farcibly thrust before the people.
Now that our Legislators have
dared to entertain a proposition,
that if before the people, has bought
its way to that position. I feel that
it il the duty of all right.thinking
MGR who desire to prevent the in.
cubus Of disgrace being foisted on
US, the re.ehartering Of the lottery
company, to come at once to definite
aud prompt conclusions as to the
best course TO pursue in the premises.

every defence to prevent the anar.

to loom up Gin our prophetic
views Of the history Of cur State

selves and the body polite Of which
they form a part, to the mammon
Of the lottery company for its dis
honored lucre. We can thus pre-
vent the weak and short sighted
from falling into the clutches Of thel
vampires who will be prowling
through our respective territories
seeking prey.
The lottery company can hardly,
succeed without the poatofiee de-
partment. | trust that the people
of the United States will force their

RIOT AT A BULL FIGHT.

The Jockey club of Mexico City held its
annual meeting during last week and the
day was generally observed Us festival
In the colon ring bull fight was given, at
which more than 10000 spectators were
present. Posters had announced that the
celebrated Guaname bulls would furnish
sport with Zocato and Fcrrar Us first and
second espadas.
The stock from the first fought badly
for the fighters, and while Zocato was at
tempting to kill the third bull, he was
caught on its horns, spun as though he
was top and then tossed in the air. He
fell to the ground and was again eored by
tho infuriated animal. He was taken from
the arena for dead. Again he entered the
ring and was not permitted to fight, and
whilc retiring dropped in a faint 1t was
found that he had three deep cuts which
1t is thought will prove fatal Five more
bulls wero let in tho arena, but none
fought we'll, the spectators became en-
ragged and fights were started on the sunny
sido OF tho arena among the spectators.
Pieces of wood were thrown in the ring
from this side, which started general de-
molition OF the plaza. After all the chairs
had boon pitched into the arena the rail-
ings were wrenched OF and thrown on the
heads Of the police in the allcyway. The
bull fighters, fearing that they would be
mobbed, escaped from tho arena and
sought safety 10 the streets. Tho police
endeavored 10 quiet the tumult and used
their clubs freely, but their efforts proved
futile, rs 1t was threatened that il they
did not desist they would be hurled into
tho ring. Al tho commencement OF the
disorder women, children aud timid men
rushed into tho passagoways to escape
into tho streets, choking them and causing

she having proven satisfactorily that she
bought the hats, some table cloths and
other things from peddler who hap,

DELEGATES TO WASHINGTON.
A Partial List OF Those Named to Go
and Work for New Mexico's
Adyanc ement.

The governor has thus far appointed
some thirty or more citizens to comprise
The New Mexico delegation soon to 20 to
Washington, and labor before congress
for the advancement OF home interests.
When requested by the bureau of imm-
grafton to take this step Gov. Prince adj
dressed letters of inquiry to something
more than 100 citizens, whom it was de-
sired to make up this list of representa-
tive men, the idea being to first ascertain
who could be relied upon to perform this
duty. Only those who replied
with favorable responses have
been commissioned, and the list
will yet probably receive additions, as it
is the intention to have the delegation as
large as possible. The officers of the
bureau of immigration are now comforting
with the railway offi'ials to the end that
greatly reduced rates for the round trip
shall be secured. 1t is expected that the
delegates will get away in body about
April II, though as 10 the details in this
particular further notice will be given.

who assure the governor that they will be
ready and fully prepared to make the trip
