les received black eye from the Treasury Department to-day, which, it is thought, will have the effect of driving them out of business. Having been debarred from using the United States mail, branches of lotteries which formerly did businessin the United States, have been established in Mexico. Under the law, printed matter from Mexico cannot be refused entry, and each month lottery tickets have been presented at the custom houses along the Mexican frontier for admission into the United States. They have heretofore been admitted without question but Assistant Secre- tary Spaulding has hit upon a novel plan to prevent their coming into this country. He has decided that there is no law to prevent lottery tickets from being admitted as printed matter, but he instructs the customs officers to as- sess duty upon them at the rate of 25 per cent ad yaloren of their face value under paragraph 423, schedule NJ of the Mckinley bill, which provides fol this rate of duty upon Gall printed ma t ter not specially provided for" Tickets of the value of $10 under this decision will have to pay $2.5O customs duty.

McKinley's Tax On Trade.

The falling off in dutiable imports
during the first nine months of the
operation Of the Mckinley bill is Civ.
en- by the Bureau of Statistics as
s55,543,692. These figures, while no
doubt correct, are yet misleading in
one important particular. We refer
to the extra amount of tin. plate i'm
ported in the period in question, in
order to anticipate the increased duty
going into effect July /. A high
English authority estimates the sales
of Welsh tin-plate to American pur-
chasers SINCE last October to amount
to more than s10,0OO,OOO above tile
average sales for similar length of
time in foregoing years. This esti-
mate falls in very well with the Treas
ury returns of the imports of tin-plate
for the eleven months ending May 81,
as compared with the same part of
the preceding year, which show an IN
crease in the former period of SO.
100000. Thus i is perfecsly clear
that in the future, now that the Nc
kinney tax on tin-plate Is actually in
force, another SIC, 900. 900 should be
knocked off our importations, max,
ing the total falling off more than

the act of congress for the initiating
the election of senator's, and that was
the time when the legislature pro
ceeded to that business. There be-.
ing three senators to elect, it took
action on that day only in reference
to two of them Did it's failure to
take action on that day, and the two
subsequent days (Which were occupied
in electing the first two senators,) in
reference To the third senator render
his election, in all other repeels reg
ular, invalid? The committee think
not.

There are many similar cases, and
it is plain that if the Idaho legisla
ture had the right to commence To
elect any senators before the "Secoud
Tuesday it was was their duty to
continue electing senators after they
once commenced, until they made Il
complete job of it, and elected ALL
the senators whom that Legislature
would be called upon to elect.

CLAGETT.--DUBOIS CONTEST.

THE editor of TIE News has read
the protest of the twenty-three
members of the Idaho legislature
against Senator Dubois being allow
ed TO take his seat IN the senate on
March 4th 81 presented to the U. 8.
senate Jan'y 10th 81 also the memo
rial Of Vim. H. Clagett through his
attorneys Shollabarger and Wilson,
praying that Mr. Clagett be given
the seat IN the U. 5. senate for Idaho
on March 18th 81 in place Of Senator
Dubois.
The undisputed fact that the Uni
ted States senate entirely ignored the
prayer of Mr.. Clagett and the protest
Of the twenty-three members of the
Legislature. and gave Senator Dubois
his seat on March 4th 81 and this
too, without dissenting voice, led us
to investigate the case and enquire as
to the law and precedent in the mat
ter.
While many irrelevant things have
been brought into the controversy a
very little research shows that the
senate could have done nothing else.
Mr. Clagett, from his own showing
rests his case on the alleged fact that
the election Of Senator Dubois was
commenced on the first Tuesday after
the meeting and organization of the
legislature. He claims that the cleo
ton was therefore invalid because it
was in violation of the act of congress
OF July %, 1865, providing for the
election of United States senators,
which act of congress provides, that
in case of vacancy in the senate
from any state, the Legislature of that
state must commence to ballot to fill
on the second Tuesday after the meet
ing and organization of said legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Clagett goes into detail and la
bors diligently to prove that the leg
lature was not organized until Tues
day December 9th go and that hence
Tuesday December 18th go (the day
when balloting for senator began) was
the first and not the second Tuesday
after the meeting and organization of
the legislature, ergo Senator Dubois
was not legally elected, because the
ect of congress OF July 25th 1866 had
been violated. As matter of fact.
we are of the opinion that Tuesday
Dec. 10th was the second Tuesday.
and that Mr.. Clagett would find it ex-
ceedingly difficult to convince the
United States senate or any body of
sensible men to the contrary, but
whether it was or not, cuts no figure
IN this case. Mr. Clagett makes a
complete and unanswerable argument
against himself, and shows couclu-
sively that Senator Dubois election
was strictly under and in accordance
with the act of congress governing
the election of senators for Idaho We
will quote from his memorial page 8.
