Considerable pains was taken by the
press of New Orleans to publish the charge
Landry, to the effect that he had deprived
defendant in law suit of his legal right
to publish his advertisement of sale in q
paper of his own selection. Since that
time the charge has been nailed as base
SANDER and unprincipled lie gotten up by
an opposition paper published in the inter
est OF the lottery, yet none of the buzzard
crew who do the bidding Of the fellows at
have made that explanation and retraction
due an honest man and capable official.
1t is by such lying and Misrepresentation
that the lottery hopes to win over an en-
slayed people into voting for an extension

gambling monopoly under the bright can

/ The Patterson correspondent to the New
Delta, giving an account Of a Lottery meet
ing held there Sept. 10, which was pro
nounced 'sfzzle," concludes report Of
| the speeches as follows:
HIS LITTLE GUN.
Then arose Mr. Gilbert Dupre. the repre-.
sentative from St. Landry This gentleman
seemed to- get mad about something and
went for the antis in terrible way He
| said that when it came to shotguns and
Winchester rifes-wen, he intimated that
he had one, too. He dilated at some length
upon the great illiteracy of the people in
1 Louisiana and especially in ST. Landry
antis, had told some Of his people that il
the revenue amendment passed, they could
| no longer buy a four-horse wagon, and
they believed i. A four-horse wagon was
used to haul rice to market, and he told us
how many sacks of rice was raised in the
parish of St Landry, and if his constitu-
ents could not get four-horse wagon the
rice crop would stay at home. He said the
men who had patted him ON the back when
| he left for the capital and advised and
urged him to vote for the revenue amend
| ment had "fopped'- gone over to the
| ants. At about this juncture he turned to
get a drink of water from the stand, when
| began to play, but he informed them that
he was not through yet, although he would
cut it short, which he did, after defying the
ants to refute any statement he had made
This not being the ants day to refute his
statements, "they went" and he had it all
his own way
The Times-Democrat reports our District
Attorney Ogden to have said in his Yer
million speech:
He said he had it from indisputable au-
thority that the Ants had said that they
held the election machinery in their hands
if Nichols would appoint returning officers
and commissioners who would, if neces-
sary, make fraudulent returns against the
amendment, He had hoped to never take
up arms again, but If the returning officers
made a false return he would take an oath
that they would have to leave the State
forever or suffer the consequences
The Rayne correspondent of the New
Delta reports of the Rayne Lottery meet
ing:
William Campbell of Lafayette then had
frightful story to tell of how the lottery
was going to be counted out, and how he
and his associates are just going to
PUT THEIR LITTLE GUNS
on their little shoulders and go out gun
ming for anti returning officers-alI of
which provoked but the faintest applause
from the drum major and the vice-presi-
dents on the stand.
Mr.. Jno N. Ogden, in his speech at La
fayette, the other day, said, as reported in
the I'D. of the 31st, ult., 'that the cause
which led Brutus to unsheath his dagger
and plunge it into Cmsar's breast, was no
greater than the question (the lottery now
confronting the intelligent people of Lou
isialia"
We wonder whether the orator knew
precisely what he was talking about! Or,
did he, then, in an estate state behold
himself with his dagger unsheathed and
plunged into some poor ants breast? We
did not know the gentleman was SO blood
thirsty.-Iberia Democrat.

THAT LOTTERY BOND.

The notion that five million dollar
bond can secure debt of thirty-one mil
lions two hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars, is too absurd to be seriously consider
ed for moment. But in order to evade
the force of this objection to the Morris
amendment, the Lottery people say that il
| is a sufficient bond to secure the payment
Of an annual License Of s125O,O0o. To that
the answer is plain. Morris does not pro-
pose to pay a license at all. To have put
his lottery upon the basis of a business
| subject to the payment of an annual Ii
cense, would have made it liable torepeal
and he carefully avoided that danger.
Here is the language Q6 hiSsamendment:
AIN aid of the levees, scfsols, charities,
pensions and drainage hereifP fter named
the following contract Is noW Wtditoas In con-
sideration of the sum of thirty-one millions
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
be fully secured and paid as hereinafter proyi-
ded. y Sassd sum shall be paid
to the Treasurer of the State by the person
contract, in one hundred equal installments,
whereof each insta1lment shall be paid on
or before the first days of January, April,
July, October in each and every year dur
ing said term"
Again, to quote from the amendment:
s'The said John A. Morris shall file there
with his bond with good and sufficient Sc
curities, residents of this State, in the sum
of five millions dollars, said bond to be in
favor and accepted by the Auditor of the
State; the condition Of said bond shall be
that the said Morris, his agents or assigns,
shall pay to the State of Louisiana the sum
of thirty-Oac millions tmo hundred and ffty
thousand dollars, at the dates and in the
manner herein set out" etc.
1t is an elementary principle OF law that
the obligation of a surety cannot be even
ded beyond the letter of his contract If
Morris sureties should be compelled to
pay the State 100000, they will be releas-
ed from the bond. What security would
the State have in that event for the balance
of the s31 10000? 1t will not do to say that
Morris can relieve himself at any time by
stopping the business. If that is the Case,
the word contract repeated so often in the
amendment is snare and fraud. Will
Yny Lottery speaker dare to take the posi-
oion on the stump, that Morris can relieve
himself from his obligation to pay the
whole sum, by stopping the lottery busi-
ness before the expiration of the Is years?

We are exceedingly anxious for a full

The disciples of Capitalization of powe,

The disciples of centraization of power
in the federal government are organized
and for three decades have been encroach-
ing step by step upon the rights of States
and of individuals. By legislation adop-
ted and accepted, this United States Gov
ernment is more oligarchical to-day than
the English and several others.
These centralizators have found adju-
tants among members of the Democratic
party, in several acts enacted in direct dis
regard of State and individual rights.
Now, / can see and hear many indica-
tions of disposition to disrupt the Demo-
cratic party in our State and in other
Southern States.
We clip the above from the Crowley Sig
nal, and it is an extract from letter from
Hon. H. L. Garland of this place to a com
mittee inviting him to speak at the meet
ing recently held at Rayne. The letter dis
cusses abstract Democratic principles,dr
parallel between the political doctrines
of Alexander Hamilton and those of Thorn
as Jefferson. If centralization is undemo-
cratic, and is oligarchical, if the enactment
of laws in disregard of State and individu-
al rights, is undemocratic and is oligarch-
ichal, then the Lottery and its oligarchy
of supporters are the worst enemies the
Democracy ever had in Louisiana. The
"the disciples of centraliza-
tion' and its carpet-bag apostles in Louis
lana, legalized and instituted the Lottery
gambling monopoly; and by their unswer-
wing vote, it has been maintained in pow
er, by the additional and absolutely neces-
sary aid these "centralizators" have always
found in their "adjutants among members
Of the Democratic party" The Lottery is
a "centralizator" and monopolist, and
with its money and purchased political in
duence it is endeavoring to drive the
