miliar Dollars In Pilzrs Seizure by
Captain Petty Arrest if ih Manager
and Clerks, Thirty-tlirce Young Alen
and Tweuty-nlua Yuuuir Woinea(
On Wednesday, Special tticer Walling, of the
Tost Office, ascertained that tin; proprietors of
a new itiit lottery rnfr-rprise were loading tlie
mails with their circulars and ticket, and on
niukinir inquiry he learned that ttiu dealers had
Waned 'four rooms at No. 02 BroidAay, and
made every preparation lor a very lucrative
IniRinepfl.
Having taken such observations as lie could
without exciting suspicion, Oiticer Walling re
ported to Captain Petty, and the Captain yes
terday aiternoou sent mi ununtlorined men,
under command of Detective Oiiicer lUeuari
Field, to make an investigation, close the placo
if it should prove to be a gitt-iottery office, and
to take into custody all persons concerned. The
officers readily obtained irom the brokers,
whose offices are at No. 62 Broadway, all tbe in
formation that they required, and having saUa
tt d tbetnselves that the proprietors of the lot
tery had about sixty persons in their enipl'jy,
they tent to Captain Steers nd Captain War
low (or details ot' ouicers to aid in ell'ccting tho
arrest. These arrived, tne place was entered,
and all were male prisoners, the number heme,
33 voting men and 29 voting women, and the
manager.
The businevs was ostensibly under direction
1 "I'htik, Webster & Co., bankers and
managers;" tint it lias born ascertained that
ihese are not the names of the real proprietors.
They commenced work in their new enterprise
about three weeks ago, and were occupying,
yesterday, three large rooms on the tirst floor
and a large room on the second floor of No. 62
Broadway, and at the time of the arrest ajl
these rooms were tilled with clerks, folding ail
inclosing circulars, writing addresses Ironi a
wore of large volumes containing the names
f purchasers of tickets in A. A. Kelley's recent
prize affair at Chicago, stamoing envelopes, and
packing thousands of letters in United States
nail-base, such as are commonly used in newspa
per office. Circulars, tit-kelp, and postage stamps
had Deen provided by tho proprietors by the
hundred thousand, and there was evidence that
the lottery people hud already sent abroad
many thousands ot their schemes and were pre
pared to get out the entire 1,27,148 tickets for
which their prospectus provides, betore the
middle of next nionih. The mails were being
made up for the day, and the magnitude of
their business may be seen in the tact that at 3
o'clock P. M.. when not more tbau half the
t tamps had been affixed, the officers found
twelve laree mail-baes full of stamped and
addressed letters, properly assorted by States,
and readw for transmission to the post office.
Each of these letters contained a prospectus, a
private circular to agents, and a sheet of eight
tickets.
The prospectus of this colosal scheme pro
mires that the entertainment snail oositively
take place on the 25th of Apiil next, at Cooper
Institute, that tbe "grand distribution of prizes
shall be conducted on tbe mutual benefit prin
ciple," that there shall be a "pro rata distribu
tion of profits to ticket-holders," that tbe
tickets, which arc $1 each, shall be limited to
1,287.148, and that there shall bo a prize with
every ticket,- The prospectus asserts that this
scheme is "the fairest and most impartial plan
ot rreseuta'ion yet otfe.-ed to the public," and
then adds that "a number of the leading
bankers and merchants of New YorK, in con
sideratinn of the great success which
has attended many of the charitable pre
sentation entertainments of the day,
have organized themselves into a
company, with the view of inaugurating an
enterprise which, while it shall return them a
fair profit, shall oiler greater advantages to
ticket purchasers than any yet presented; and
which, being conducted upon a perfectly legiti
mate and busmes basis, shall be free from those
objectionable leatures which have characterized
many ot these enterprises To this end they
have consigned the sale of tickets and the
registering of the same to Clark, Webster & Co.,
Bankers and Managers, No. 62 Broadway, New
York, who will keep the records ia their cus
tody until the day of tbe grand presentation
entertainment, when they will be handed over
to a committee selected by the audience to make
an impartial distribution ot prizes."
Among the monev prizes oflered are one of
$76,000, one of $50,000, one of $25,000, two ot
$10,000 each, three of $5000 each, four of $3000
each, five of $2000 each, eiebt of $101)0 each,
fourteen of $500 each, twenty of $300 each,
twenty-five of $200 each, forty of $100 each,
eeventv-tive of $50 each, and 605 varying be
tween $1 and $25, making a total of 864 prizes,
valued at $250,000. The piano and melodeou
nrlzes are 284 in number, the sewing machines
C15. the diamond sets and cluster rings 114, the
gold watches 443, and the silver watches 81a.
AoormDirlner the nrosnectus is a "Private
Circular to Aeents ot the Bankers' and Mer
chants' Grand Presentation Entertainment,"
urging the party to whom it is sent to interest
himself in the sale of tickets.
The tickets w hich are enclosed with the pri
vate circular and prospectus are printed in
M ark. eieht on a sheet, on a wretched woodcut,
and the number of each is printed in red on the
vieuette. Tbe text of the ticket is as follows:

had not yet distributed any in this city. Thus

enterprise, and have been expendmg perhaps

Bishop Soule.
A dispatch from Nashville announces the
death ot the Rev. Joshua Soule, Bishop of the
Southern Methodist Church, and senior Metho
dist Bishop of the United States, at the ag of
86 years. Bishop Soule was born in Bristol.
Maine, on Aucust 1, 61781. He was licensed to
preach in 1798, ordained elder in 1802, and in
104, appointed presiding elder ot the Maine
district, which embraced twelve circuits and
one station witbm a circumference of
twelve hundred miles. In 1808 he attended
the General Conference at Baltimore, and
drew up the constitution1 of a delegated
General Conference which was then adopted.
In 1846 he was elected Book Agent and editor of
the Mrthodist Magazine. Being elected Bishop
in 1820 he declined ordination, but accepted
when re-elected in 1824. In 1843 he became
senior Bishop of the Church, in consequence of
the death of Bishop Roberts. At tbe division of
the Church in 1844 Bishop Soule went with tne
Southern portion. He was onposed to secession,
and is said to have remained a pro-slavery Unlou
man throughout the war. His Unionism did not.
however, chanee his unyielrtincr opposition to
the ant i slavery spirit of the Northern Methodist
Church.
i
Turkish Play. The AUgemeine. Ztitung de
scribes a curious play in the Turkish language
which was brought out the other day in the
theatre at Constantinople. It ia entitled
Perns, and is the production of a young Turk
educated at Paris, named Heider Ali Bey. The
author shows a considerable acquaintance with
the peculiarities of Turkish metres, and the
play has many highly poetical passages,
although the comic element seems greatly to
predominate over the serious. The hero, a
philosophical millionaire, enters on the stage
with a long disquisition on what would have
happened if the world had never existed.
"1 here would have been," he says, "neither
laughing nor crying, neither rose-buds, nor
cup-bearers, nor flutes, neither joy nor sorrow,
neither pleasure nor pain," and so on, in a
succession of negatives which might obviously
bo continued ad infinitum without any
great effort of thought on the part
of speaker or hearer. This very tedious
philosopher fulls in love with a lady
called "Chosh Huma," or "the beautiful
bird of paradise." He is strongly warned,
both by his Mentor "Akyl" (good sense) and
his maid-servant Tcliaresatz, who has herself a
sneaking kindness for him, against tho dan
gers of the tender passion, but he turns a deaf
ear to all their admonitions, anil sends Tchare
satz to his mistress with a love-lettur and. a
purse lull ot liras to advance his suit. In tne
second act "Chosh Huma" receives "Tchare
satz" with a haughty coldness which bodes no
good to "Perviz," but she softens rapidly at
the sight of the purse, and invites her lover to
a banquet. "Perviz" appears at the appointed
time, and his mistress, after exchanging some
highflown compliments with him, takes him
into the dining-room, upon which the curtain
is discreetly lowered, and the second act closes.
Ihe third act is a very short one. "Perviz "
is discovered in a desert in rags, the faithless
"Cosh Huma" having robbed him and then
turned him out into the street. While he is
lamenting his fate "Tcharesatz," the good
genius of the piece, arrives, who consoles hun
and takes him home. The author of this play
has since written two other pieces of the same
class, which, however, are said to be superior,
both in matter and manner, to Perviz.
A Lady Bcried Alive. In the early part of
October last there died at Rome, with chole
raic symptoms, Siguora Amaha Barbieri, wife
of Count Bennicilli. After the funeral solemni
ties the body was deposited in the Campo
Santo, until it could be transferred to the
Church of tho Madelena, when the tomb which
was being prepared had been completed. The
tomb being finished a few days since, the
corpse was uncovered, when the fact became
evident that the unfortunate lady had been
placed in her coffin while she was yet living.
The hands were bitten, the face was lacerated,
the hair disordered aud torn. The lid of the
coffin had ben forced up, and the musoles
were contracted by the violent efforts that had
len made. The unhappy lady, whose health
had been delicate, was overtaken by a sudden
attack, and as she evinced no sign of life, it
was presumed she was dead. The rumors of
cholera led to her being hastily placed within
the twul.

THE FENIAN WAR IN IRELAND.
THE FIRST COLLISION RF.TWF.EN THE BELLKl ERKNTS
AND T1IF. BRITISH TROOPS.
The cable news from Ireland this morning
is of great importance. The Fenian rebellion
lias broken out in earnest, the revolutionists
have attacked towns and barracks garrisoned
by British troops, and the first blood in the
struggle has been shed. The reports which
reach us are dated in London, Liverpool, and
lublin on the 6th, and relate only the trans
actions of the previous day. They foreshadow
serious trouble for the British Uovernment.
Tho Fenians are evidently well organized
and under experienced military leadership.
The points they have selected for their move
ments are such as strategio ability alone
would point out. The principal risings have
been at Lublin, Castle Martyr, near the
city of Cork, and in the anciont city of
Lrogheda, on the Boyne river. The commu
nication by railroad between Cork and Lublin
was completely interrupted on Wednesday
last, and the telegraph wires all over Ireland
are said to have been cut down. The insur
gent army in the neighborhood of Lublin is
reported by the Chief Secretary of Ireland,
Lord Kaas, to number from one thousand to
four thousand men. All the despatches con
cur in the statement tnat the remans are
under good discipline, and it is highly proba-
ble that they aim at obtaining possession of
the important cities of Lublin, Cork, and Bel
fast. The fact that we are without intelligence
as to the progress of events after the 5th in
stant is full of significance, and seems to indi
cate that tho troubles are on the increase,
although one of the latest despatches from the
(iovernment headquarters in London state that

France The New Press Law,
One of tbe enactments of the new bill of the
Government on the press, which has excited
most attention, is that which declares that
members of the Corps Legislatif may be prose

It appears that a similar enactment is to be
made applicable to tbe members of the Senate
also.

as follows:
Article 1. The right of meeting Is granted for the

Italy The Electoral Campaign.
The political campaign was proceeding with
unusal animation. Baron Ktcasoli is promls
iug, either directly or indirectly, to do all those
things which he refused to do before the late
Chamber, and to leave undone ali those thlues
v,hich the Chamber objected to. This is a tacit
confession that the Chamber was right, or at
least was supported by public opinion.
Among the promises are these;-No new taxes
will be called for; further economies in tbe
departments will be made; the Church bul will
be modified to suit tbe demands of public
opinion. The French Imperial organs, and the
Loudon Times, are electioneering for Ricasoli.
On tbe other hand all tbe organs of pronounced
liberalism in Europe express their sympathy
-,iik ii. Italian Liberals. It is believed, how-
eve- that by the combined efforts of the clergy
and the office-holders a Moderate Chamber will
beit1?belfeved that the Church bill is part of
an agreement between France, the Pope, Rica
soli and Florence bankers to secure the tem
poral power ot the Pope, keep the capital at
Florence, and crush out "demagoeic conspira
cies" for a liberal as well as a united Italy. Some
i ia omresHod that Ricasoli has lolned
this retrograde movement j but, in point of fact,
he ha. always voted with the "cl que," and has
confined his "liberalism to professions.

FROM WASHINGTON THIS AFTERNOON.
SPECIAL despatches to evening TELEGRAP I.
Washington, March 8.
The Impeachment q,ueitlon.
The debate in the House yesterday on the
jiroposed impeachment indicates pretty clearly
tho temper of members on that exciting sub
ject. The extreme radicals still hug to their
bosoms their old darling of immediate Execu
tive decapitation; but the moderates advise
prudence, deliberation, and onlmness in prose
cuting a work of such solemn import. Mr.
.Ashley evidently intends to keep up his
tire on "the man at the other end of the
avenue," for he uttered an anti-Johnson
denunciation fiercer, if possible, than any
before. Gesticulating excitedly, he remarked
that he would say nothing as to
the terrible doubt that oppressed his mind as
to complicity with the assassination conspiracy,
and the mysterious connection between, death
and treachery. Tho utterance of this dark
insinuation again created a profound sensation
among the spectators assembled in tho gal
leries, including a liberal representation of tho
diplomatic corps. Tho Democratio members
alone seemed to take the matter in an uncon
cerned manner, laughing at Ashley's excited
manner and interrupting him with semi-jocose
questions. T,he speech of Mr. Spalding, who
called the impeachment project "a stupendous
folly," and asked if the policy of tho Cromwell
times and the scenes enacted under Danton,
Marat, and Robespierre were to be repeated,
made quite an impression, Gen. Butler replied
in a characteristic manner to Mr. Spalding,
but his point was simply the old one that Pre
sident Johnson should bo removed at all
hazards if lie stood in the way of peace, har
mony, unity, law, and reconstruction.
On this subject of impeachment it is difficult
to see the end. The extreme element, which
favors hot-headed measures of suspension,
seems to have met with a check. I have
heard Republicans express the opinion that
impeachment is all humbug, that the Judi
ciary Committee failed miserably in sustaining
any serious charges, and that there had been
enough of the matter until the end of Andrew
Johnson's term. This savors very much of
backing down from the solemn position taken
by the dominant party last session.
Tho action of the Senate caucus, in laying
on the table the proposition of Wednesday
night's Republican caucus, changes suddenly
the probabilities that existed this morning of
the adjournment on Monday next, the difficulty
presenting itself of the inability of one branch
adjourning Congress without the consent of
the other. It has been made manifest that
there is not only among many of the
Republican members an unwilling con
currence with tho course determined upon
last night, but so strong a hostility to
this course on the part of a majority of the
senate that it is impossible to carry Into effect
last night's determination. Tho feeling en
tertained by a majority of the Senate that the
tacts thus lar elicited by the House Judiciary
Committee would prove a dangerous basis
upon which to proceed to impeachment, will
force the House to agree to an adjournment to
October next. Senators take the position that
if there is any sincerity in the movement of
the leading prosecutors the House should pro
ceed immediately to carry out their pro
gramme, or consent to an adjournment over
the summer months, and thereby virtually
acknowledge the abandonment of the whole
question. A loading Representative, on being
informed of the action, or want of action, of
the Senate caucus, exclaimed, "I am very glad
oi it. n is claimed by some of tho pro
nounced conservatives that many of those
who voted for the adjournment to May were
induced to do so only through, the stimulant
of a severe party discipline.
Temperance.
. The Congressional Temperance Society is to
hold a third public meeting in the Hall of tho
House of Representatives next Sunday night.
The Police of the Capital.
The late Congress, while making the appro
priation for tho salaries of the Metropolitan
Police, provided that hereafter no person shall
be appointed as policeman or watchman who
has not served in the Army or Navy of the
United States, and received an honorable dis
charge. FROM BALTIMORE TO-DAY.

Court as lawyers lllte to see lliem, and parties
and witnesses announced their faithful attend
ance by frequent "heres," showing that they
were ready, If not willing, to commence the
'iliointis Walters was charged with keeping a
tippling houae. Wallers lives In Richmond,'
nnd has a confectionery In Fifth street, east of
Aialn. He Is a good citizen, so far as the candy
si ore is concerned, because ho paya his license)
lor keeping thut; but Inn-in ess is dull with
everybody, bankers, brokers, tlry goods mer
clinnts, and, of course, with the little Richmond
hWeet" meiclinnt. His mind was troubled, as
Js Hint of every business man whom the dull
tunes allot Is, aud he wiu much perplexed to
it now w hat to do to keep a respectable sum
about his clothes.
He hit upon a plan, and, not going to the
tli end ful expense of anothei license, he gave'
tne "blioys" to undei'Htitnd that ho would keep
n bottle or two behind his counter. The
"bhoys" took advantage of this, and one Sun
day morning, after a lire, they went Into Witl
toi'K pluce, look several drinks, and paid for
tliein. This was the evidence ag.ilust the,
candy man.
Hut Mr. Kneass. his counsel, argued to the
jury that there was no reliable evidence, the
strongest being giveu by two young men
who were but lately tried upon a charge of
arson. And. moreover, no one said that Wal
ters had no license.
Mut Judxe Brewster said to the jury that it
was not for tho Common wealth to prove that
tbe defendant had no license, but It was his
duty. If he had one, to produce it.
The Jury rendered a verdict ol guilty.
The linn ot Votile & Vnzea got into a quarrel
in settling up their accounts for dissolution, at
tbe beginning of the year. Some words arose,
and Vogle raised a stick to strike Va.en, but
didn't; und the same said Vogle, whose first
name is Moses, was acquitted of a charge of
assault and battery.
Catharine Martin was charged with the lar
ceny of f-10, the property of Mary Ann Camp
bell. The prosecutrix, who keeps a little drink
ing place down town, testified that the defend
ant came Into her pluce, nud wished for some
ale, or something of that kind, fche (the prose
cutrix) placed 840 on the counter, and went to
thecellar to set the drink. When he came
back the defendant seemed anxious to go
home, aud when she had gone tho money was
missing; and the next day the defendant wus
seen with some notes that, the presecutrix Iden
tified aa those sue had lost.
But the derense showed tnat tne prosecutrix
had called at the defendant's house to take her
to her store, and while she was in tho defend
ant's house she dropped the notes, which were
picked up by a little child. Also many wit
nesses were produced as to the good character
of defendant and the bad character sf the prose
cutrix. The jury rendered a verdict of not
guilty.

' Absinthe. Tlie French journals speak with
a kind of despair of the rapid extension of
alisinthe-drinking in France. It amounts to
an infatuation, as the horrible results are
well known. Absinthe is declared by the
medical faculty to he a direct and powerful
cause of apoplexy, of affections of the heart,
lungs, nervous system, and stomach, and
especially of brain disorders. The chances are
that an absinthe-drinker will become either a
maniac or an imbecile.
