On Thursday night, of last week, a rousing anti-lottery meeting was held at tne Vjcrand Upera House in JNew Orleans. It was an enthusiastic gathering, and was addressed by Rev. Dr. B. M.

Palmer, Hon. Don. Caflery, and otherdistinguished speakers. Ut. Palmer's address was a masterly arraignment of the evils of the lottery.

and is a veritable "thorn in its side." Ever since, the lottery press has been trying to pull 'it out; but it is bearded, and won't come. The address will be printed in pamphlet form and cirtiu lated throughout the State. Read it carefully. If John A. Morris' proposition is such a good thing for our schools, why is it that every assemblage of the educators of this State that has spoken on the subject has denounced it iv etc LKlta.

Because they appreciate the evils tne "rising generation" the continuance of the lottery would nrnnaimte Young folks are sharp to watch and" iearn, and tne direction of their minds 19 the work of a conscientious tonelipr He, or she, would not tell a pupil that is ngni to gam oie in a lottery, or any where else.

It was not expected to make conversions in a moi tent; but the action will follow the cause. Men were there who are disposi always to do as they see right; an 1 we believe they do not see it rigl to give our State over to the government of a monopoly.

The railroads are subject to control, because have to compete with each other. I But how can you control an institution which has no competition; which renders no public good; mid yet is always draw ing on the resources of producers to foBfer itself in power. The thous ands of dollars it draws from us an nually is a help to it to weight us down. The working menj who see their dollars fade away in the shadows of hope, know they have not been benefitted by its existence; but they hope on, aud will spend their dollars as before. The able speakers demonstrated that to continue this condition of things would result in final accumulation of power that could, and would, thwart any attempt; to rid us of it.

But why argue ftitther; the ptople of Lafayette parish are now informed on tlus issue, aud we know they will repudiate this lottery proposition; because, to accept it would imply an indifference to the fair name of our State, a surrender of pure administration of Slate government, and an acknowledgment that we are a prey to the cupidity and ingenuity of any set of Yankees and negroes are disposed to swipe down on our State and flutter greenbacks before ou- eyes. We rely on the good sense of our whttQ citizens to save our parish from the crime of lending itself to the perpetuation of the lottery. Be sure and read the proceedings of the mass meeting. Wednesday night, at. West End, New Orleans, which was crowtlcd with a throng of women and children and men, a team of horses attached to a carriage ran away and dashed into the crowd.

Seeing the imminent peril to the helpless women and children, a young man named Henry Russell, a stranger, attempted to stop the team by swinging on to the horses heads. His heroism was rewarded by death; for he was trampled and bruised so that he died that night. The team did injure several persons. It was discovered that Russell was a Mason, and the Masons of New Orleans buried him. His effort to save others is the beauty which has made him notable, and all honor to his memory.

STATE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE. The Institute held an evening session Thursday which was attended by several people. The meeting was called to order by Julian Mouton, President of the bcuooi lioard, who introduced Jtlon. Lau-rant of Opclousas. Mr.

Dupre addressed the audience in bis usual happy stylo; provoking' considerable mirth by his many 'bright and witty passages. Prof. Smith then spoke of the' New Ed ucation, illustrating the vast superiority of the present system over the old. Miss Louise Bendel delighted the audience with the rendition of a musical selection entitled the "Rain Storm Miss Jennie Clarke performed a fine selection of instrumental music.

SoT many of the candidates for Speaker of the House have been town this week that everybody was saying "Well, the next bpeaker the Louse is in town." The sentence was by a bright newspaper man when1 McMillin joined Mills, Sprin jer, Bynum, Wilson and several other: i already here. Re iresentative Breckenridge, of Arka isas, has some interesting, views of th prcsentpolitieal condition of the cc untry. He says: "At present the condition is that of general unrest; for th irty years the public mind has been douded by the smoke of battle publi; sentiment in all matters of politics is been more or less influenced by th remembrance of the war, aud preju lice has entered into every process reasoning. Now the people are fo (ginning to think for themselves, and iouoniic questions, notsentiment, are occupying their attention.

The peopl i are not satisfied that things shoul 1 stay for all time as they are they that there's something wronj; and they are determined to right it. They will go at it awkwardly, nt being iiBed to dealing with such quest ons, and they will make some mista ces and do things that will be hurtf il, but in the end they will ac-corap ish the reforms they seek; aud I can ie that the final result will be a triumph for Democracy, which is and has always been the party the people. Few people could, guessing off handed, come within many million dollars of the amouDt paid out in pensions I by this Government since July 1, 1861. The figures were this week made! up at the pension office and here the total looting: Just think, one billion, two hundred and eighty-four million. scveni hundred aud sixteen thousand dollars.

If this money was all in fifty dollar bills the average mane life would not be long enough To count it. not even if it were possible for him to worklcontinuously at the task. Col. Eobt. G.

Ingersoll and Mr. J. W. Mackay, known to fame as one of the Bonanzo Kings, were closeted with Mr. Harrison for nearly two hours one day this week, and there is reason for believing that the subject under discussion was silver.

It somewhat puzzling why these gentlemen should have attempted to surround their visit to Washington with so much mystery. At the hotel where they stopped the name of neither of them appeared on the register. Such a precaution was absurd when both of them are well known to every newspaper man oi any prominence in Washington. "Lige" Halford, the President's private secretary, is now regarded as a political boss. The Commissioners of thd Dirtrict of Columbia, one Democrat, one Republican and one army officer, who is suppose to have no politics, decided to move the Health officer, Republican against whom charges had been preferred, and to appoint in nis piace democrat, and their intention was announced in the local papers before it was officially consummated.

"Lige" called a halt; because the new man was a Democrat Harrison when he arrived the ntbtt day endorsed "Lige and and lio change was made.

The meeting at the court Saturday, was a splendid representation ot the people of Lafayette parish, showing an attendance of the most influential men from each ward, whoj thereby demonstrated their interest in the future wcl-of the State. Every seat in the court room was occupied, and standing space was in demand.

The venerable Alexander Delhoinrne, President of the Anti-Lottery League, called the meeting to order. Hon. Overton Cade was chosen Chairman, and Messrs. H. Theall and J.

LeBlanc Secretaries. Mr. Cade addressed the assemblage and stated the purpose of the meeting in a few clear and comprehensive remarks, which were highly appreciated. The following list of Vice Presidents were appointed Judge O. Mouton, Harrison Theall, Dr M.

Bailey Letters of regret were rtad from Hons C. Mouton, Chas Parlunge and A. D. Laf-injuc, all expressing their sympathy with the purpose of the meeting, and condemning the lottery The fiist bpeaker introduced was Trailer J. Burke, Esq of New Iberia.

ivLo h'tndled the theme in a masterly logical discourse, snowing that it to ould be (let rimeulal to the prosperity of the State and subversive of tne Democratic party to vote for the lottery amendment. His remi.rks were listened to with close attention, and the orator made a decided impression of good lor lus cause upon tne audience. The next speaker introduced was F. Broussard, Esq of New Iberia who made his address in Frencn It was intensely practical, and was made to "point a moral." lie started out with the statement that he is of Creole descent, and, as he was proud of his section aud State, and had none other interests to subberve, he would express himself as best he might to that end. The lottery boasted that it could buy up the 'Cajuns in his parish.

This shows how John A. Morris regards a whole people, whom he is asking to appoint him guardian of their welfare, because he has been able to purchase a few so-called representatives. It was a slander that should burn every honest Creole heart, and should be wiped out with each individual ballot at the polls, the palladium of Liberty, where, "though they fall as light as snowflakes, are as terrible as an army with banners." No man with the ancestry of us here, the "Acadians," could alloid to rest under this imputation, nor would do so if there we're a remedy by resort to individ ual refutation of a slander Where itis hurled at a good people of a great State by an alien, "lying on flowery beds ease" plucked from our sun-loved roses, our only remedy is the freeman's vindication unfurl your ballot to the world. Our ancestors were heroes. Rather than back from principle and bend to British yoke, they waved farewell to all that man can call his own home and fireside, and accepted the fate of outcasts.

Thank God! they here in our beautiful country, which, in obedience to tender memory.they Here they have achieved prosperity and and renown. In all of the wars of our country since our establishment here we have furnished soldiers whose records will shine with any page in history, and scientists and jurists and examples of civic regeneration under seeming overwhelming burdens, that will stand as an example forever. And because most of us are agriculturists, and simple aad frugal and hospitable, and cannot argue the sophistries of politics or the economy of government, which are left to our trusted representatives (whom Mr. Morris sometimes buys), we are 'Cajuns, and he is going to buy us all. He cannot do not in my parish; and, gentlemen of Lafayette, I would not harbor in my heart for one moment that there is a man in the sound of my voice who will not say, Lafayette is the same.

The next speaker was Hon. Don Caf fery, whose introduction was greeted with welcome applause. Mr. Gallery brilliant address, covering all the grounds of argument against the lottery; and as he is so well known and respected hero and throughout the State, his argument received close attention of the audience, and no doubt carried great weight of with it. He was frequently greeted with rounds of applause.

He illustrated one point of his argument as to the utter folly of giving" John A. Morris the exclusive priyilege of controling lottery gambling as follows: A little game of draw poker between himself and Dr. Mayer and W. B. Torian wduld be a matter between themselves, as no doubt occurs all over the country.
