ieqmred to give bonds to carry ou these

ana adopted in 18 9 touches the lottery
queition as follows:
Article 107. The General Assembly
shall have authority to grant lot' ery char
ters or privileges; provided, each charter
or privilege shall pay not less than $10,000
per annum in money into the treasury or
the State; and provided further, that all

after the ratification of this Constitution.
These condli ions were promptly accepted
by the Louisiana Loitery Company; in

teed the company exactly what it was con
tending it possessed a contract with the
State of Louisiana. This position has
liecn furtiier strengthened by a decision of

within a few days- Au ell art was made to
tax the lottery company under an act tax

resisted, on behalf of ita shareholders, on
the plea thtt the company had a valid and
bona fide contract with the State, and
that it commuted the win le tax by the

estau iohed. One cannot long remain in

is one of the recognized luslt utiousof the
city, and one that possesses the fullest
confidence of the people. Whatever the
rest oi Hie world may think ot louene-t,
New Orleans believes in them. Interviews
with tue presidents of the leading b'in ts,
merchants and ulanteis. not only proved
this, but the further fact tint these men
have faith in the honesty of the manage
ment ot tho urawing and the perlect sol
vency of the institution. Indeed It is gen
erally asserted that the Louisiana Lottery
is stronger than any bank in the South,
and all the banks cash its prizes at sight.
Its stock, which is regularly quoted on

Satisfied as to the legal and financial
status of the concern, the reporter deter
mined to investigate Ilia bom sty of the
Drawing. This was an event in New Or
leans. It took place iu the Academy of

for tht purpoce. It wasan extraordinary

The preparations began on Monday and
were not concluded until Frldav. The
at-home was based on a representation of
iu ,iuu iiraeta. against which NU prized
were to be drawn. Then there were l.ao
Approximation Prises, not. drawn from
tne wneei, maklug a total of r.W prizes.
The numbers were printed on blue paper,
measuring two and one-halt bv one and
one-half Inches. These had to be carefully
counted from 1 to 100,000. Then they were
ruiieu up ngntiy ny meams of an instru
ment and then luuerted into a small rub
ber tube. The prizes were also printed In
bold figures and similarly enclosed In
tubes. This count consumed five daps and
was conducted by Generals Beauregard and
Ear y, who were assisted in their labori
ous task by a numler f ladies of Ne-v Or
leans, whose families were reduced in cir
cumstances by the war. The work was
carefully, thoroughly and lonscieutiously
informed. No mistake was possible.
Every number was there beyond a doubt.
U heu the count was completed the tubes
containing the numliers were put into
bags, w hich were sealed with tho auto
graphs aud private s-alsof Generals Ueau
regard and Karly. These bags were p aced
in a box and stored in a vault. The tubes
containing the prizes w ere similarly sealed
and stored. Yesterday these bigs, were
conveyed to the Academy of Music and
one at a time opened by the Commission
ers, aud as opeued their contenta were
placed In a large wheel. The prizes w hen
opened were placed in a smaller wheel.
Everything was now in readiness for the
drawing, toward which at least a quarter
of a million people looked anxiously and
hopefully. 'Jho wheels are made with
glass sides. The one containing the num
bers, which is much the larger, was placed
ou the leftof tlm stage and was in the special
and personal charne of the venerable Con
federate cava'ry leader, Gen. Karly. The
smaller wheel, with the prizes, was on the
right of the stage under the honest aud
vigilant care of another distinguished sol
dier and eminent engineer, Gen. Ue-aure-irard.
Then were nresent on the staire
several clerks, who registered the prizes as
mcy were drawn, iour suo-conimlssioners.
Messrs. Kousseau, I'inckard, Ilo lgsou and
Houx, aud report' rs of the daily press. At
precisely II o'clock the drawing began.
The tubes were taken from the wheels by
blindfolded beys. There was really no oc
casion for this precaution, since the num
liers were thoroughly concealed in the
tubes, but the Commissioners conllnuethe
custom. The boys are brought from a lo
cal asylum aud are well paid for a few
hours work. The scene was an interest
ing one and especially to a student of hu
man nature. The house was fairly filled,
many of those present being strangers who
wished to satisfy themselves as to the hon
esty of the drawing. Many, however, had
a personal interest in tho result. These
held in their hands lists of their numbers,
which thev anxiously scanned as the draw
ing proceeded.
LUCKY NUMBERS.
Those on the stage were there clearly In
a business rapacity. They had no interest
in the drawing save to see It honestly
done. W ilh the audience it was diAl-rent.
Anxiety and expectancy beamed on every
face. The ladies filled the boxes and the
I alcony and leaned forward in their eager
ness to catch tlie numbers as they were an
nounced. They seemed to forget every
thing about them. One clergymau was
present, and the audience included all
classes ot people. As General Karly an
nounced the first number, i05U7, a hush
fell upon the audience. General Beaure
gard turned his wheel, and the boy having
drawn a prize, the general said "$100,"
which was, tlie pr.zu given for that mini
ber. Korseveral minutesthe prizes ranged
from $100 to ('4X1, when General Early
said "8711!." and General Beauregard arose
and said, iu adistinctaudrleartouc,

audience. Who was tho lucky lioldtrf
The wheels were turned, to thoroughly
mix the tubes, after diawiuir twenty num
bers, and the boys were changed at the end
of very sixty numbers.
