an objection.
Quite a crowd assembled at the Riggs
House this morning to witness the sale of
its contents.
Auctioneer Charles C. Duncanson was on
hand and had the red flag posted in front
of the premises and was ready to begin
the sale.
Before beginning to offer anything for
sale he was called aside by the Marshal
who informed him that he, the Marshal,
had levied upon the entire contents of the
house, and that the sale could not go on.
The Marshal stated to a CRITIC reporter
that if the proprietor of the house could
give bond to insure the payment of the
Judgment notes of Messrs. T. d. DAILY, the
butter and eggs dealer, and Hume & Co.,
the grocers, the sale would be resumed to-
morrow. The legal affairs are expected

TREASURY TALK.
Statements of Director Leech and Sec

Statements of Director Leech and Sec
retary Foster Create Irritation.
The circular Of Il. G. Dun d Co., the
Mercantile Agency, of last Saturday says
of the recent statements of Director Leech
and Secretary Foster concerning the avail
able funds in the Treasury:
There has been some financial irrita-
ton during the week, owing to the state
ments made by Mr. Leech, Director of the
Mint, as if by authority of the Treasury
Department, and the later statement by
Secretary Foster has not entirely removed
the feeling of apprehension. The Treas
ury has but little money available to
meet any emergency in the money mar
ket, and has paid out but little during the
PAST week. But gold continues to go
abroad in rather large amounts, and while
the collapse in speculations in wheat tends
to help exports, it is possibly too late to
have much effect at present. Merchan-
disc exports from New York continue
much larger than year ago, but imports
are also remarkably large and there is a
prospect of heavy exports of gold for
some months TO come

IL THE New YoRK World of the ID the
following editorial appeared:
The WAsHINGToN CmuC comes to the
defense of Assistant Attorney General
MAURY against the Worlds suggestion
that his brief in the lottery case is much
weaker than capable Attorney-G General
would have made il. But what a defense
t is that is offered THE Critic says that
the brief is weak, because the case is
weak; that the law is so clearly unconsti-
tutiona that the only thing the Attorney
Generals office can do is to admit the
fact, urge the moral pity of it, and ask
the supreme Court by decision, to Gre
ate constitutional power where there is
none.
What would the esteemed World have !?
Congress passes and enacts law that is
oppressive and tyrannical, clearly a vio-
lation of personal rights and manifestly
looking in the direction Of a mischievous
and intolerable paternalism which is OBJ
noNious to the fundamental idea of our
form of ofGovernment: is it to be expected
that any Attorney General, with the fear
OF the Constitution before his ewes, could
prepare respectable brief IN its honor
and support The lottery may be, and
doubtless is all that its fiercest opponents
say of it, but does that fact, or ten times
that justify the enforcement of law that
gives to Congress the power to denounce
as immoral and to suppress by legisla-
ton any practice which is sanctioned un-
der local laws but which temporary
majority at the Capitol may see fit to an
tagonize? With such precedent estab-
iished, where would the tyranny end?
Congress could with equal proprety pro-
hibit the manufacture of liquor or cigars,
exterminate a business enterprise, wipe
out religious denomination, suppress
speculation in futures and kill political
party. With such precedent the boasted
liberty of this happy land could be de-
stroyed as utterly as though blight had
swept across it, and the condition of the
individual would sink into a slough
deeper and more deadly than that which
holds the most degraded slaves of Africa
or Asia. The lottery evil may be great
but in our opinion it is as nothing COM
pared with the evil that would destroy
cur institutions and assassinate our lib
erty.

A QUEER MISTAKE.
where Fly SpecIS Made Il Difference of
Three Thousand Pounds.

Whore Fly SpccIS Made Il Difference OF
Three Thousand Pounds.
In one of our large establishments
connected with the iron industry there
occurred Il few days ago an apparent
discrepancy in the accounts, involving
n matter of three thousand pounds of
scrap iron. The clerks of the depart
mcnt were set to work to unravcl the
tangled slSein, and after they had cx-
pended two whole days in the search
they were compelled to give up the
task and pronounce it beyond their
comprehension. Thus matters stood for
several days.
Several days later, says the Phila-
dolphin Record, the office boy decided
to keep himself in practice in addition
by footing up 4 column Of figures on
sheet which was lying on desk be-
side him i'll the scrap iron department.
BENDING his energies to the task, he
got along swilnmingly with the units,
tens and hundreds columns, but when
he came to the fourth column he could
not make it agree with the footings
set down. Again and again he tried it,
and with the same result-three thou
sand less. Going over the figures one
by one, his attention was drawn to n
quccr-loolSing one. A fyspcclz was be-
side it in such position rs ito make it
appear like u four, and us such it had
been counted by each of the clerks in
the departments. The boy had earned
his promotion, and he got it.
