LOTTEItlKS.
A war on lotteries is being waged by tlio
post-ofllco department, by cutting off tho
nail. It bns beeu ordered that no lelten
or other matter relating to this traffic bo per
mitted to pais through the post offices. A
largo number of letters containing drafts or
l09tl orders have tVon optured and re
turned to thn sender, and many lottery tick
et seller liavo leen arrested. The laws
strictly prohibit lotteries, aud yet for years
tbey have been conducted on an enormous
scale with impunity. In New York cily
alone there are forty first class lottery ofll
ecu, besides a largo number of smaller policy
B'lops.
jSomo of the large offices hare such a de
mand lor tickets that a procession is formed
to the ticket seller's desk, sometimes extend
ing nut into the hallway, and n policeman
whose duty it is.to close up the shop and ar
rest tbo parties, stands by and keeps tbo
procession In order.
If these establishments can be wiped out
it will be a guod thing for the people. It
Is not the wealthy who invest in lottery
tickets, but the poorer classes who take their
limited earnings to purchase chances, with
the hope of striking a bonanza suddenly, and
thereby bettering their condition. Of course
their hopes are never realized. Occasional
ly aomo ono draws n targe prize, but this l
permitted in order to advertise the concerns
and thus draw victims into tho net Ncw
papers must come in for a large uliare ot the
blame for makiug these institutions success
ful, by inserting their advertisements. This
paper has frequently been offered advertise
ments of this character but bat habitually
declined them. It la to be hoped that the
present movement against lotteriei will not
be abandoned until tbey are'anuihilated.
PENSIONS.
Hon. J. A. Btntley, commissioner of
Pensions, delivered an addrers at Philadel
phia before tbe Grand Army of the Rcpuli
lie on the 11th of October. He pointed out
among other things the difficulties arising
in adjusting claims entirely on affidavits of
tbe interested parties, and suggested the fol
lowing excellent system as a substitute for
the ex parte system now practiced.
Divide the country into districts of such
size, considering tbe territory, tbe popula
tion, and the number of pensioners and
claimants residing therein, that a commis
sion, consisting of two persons, a physjeian
and a lawyer, will be able to visit each
county seat and other principal towns and
cities-withlnMts limits twice each year, and
there personally examine such pensioners
and claimants as may be ordered by the
Commissioner of Pensions to be examined
and receive the testimony offered in support
of pension claims, and cross-examine the
claimants and such, of their principal wit'
nes'es ax to the facts to which tbey testify
as may be judged necessary.
These officers should possess ability and
have had experience in their respective pro
essions, and be paid a reasonable salary to
compensate them for devoting their whole
time to their duties.
Tbe method of proceeding would be
follows :
Upon the receipt of an application Tor
pension at the Pension Office a copy of tbe
records of the War or Navy .Department, as
tbe case may be, bearing upon the case
would be obtained, and a duplicate copy
thereof, together with a copy of tbe 'clal
mant's allegations upon which the claim for
pension is rested, forwarded to tbe Commls'
sion of the pension district where the claim'
ant resides, accompanied with a specific let'
ter of instructions upon what points proof is.
to be produced,a copy of which letter will at
the same time be Bent to tbe claimant,witb a
notice that bis case is ready to be proceeded
with, and stating to biin tho classes of per'
sons whom he should, If possible, produce
to prove his claim.
The claimant having been informed by
previous advertisement of the places where
the Commifsion'wlll meet In his distrlct,and
the time when it will attend at each, will
then apptar at the time and place most con
venient for himself and witnesses. He will
there be turnished with a blank form of af
fidavit for each witness, who will write down,
or have written for him by the claimant or
some other person, a brief and plain state'
ment of tbe facts relating to the claim to
which he proposes to testify. These state
meets will be presented to the Commission,
one of whom wilt read over to each i f the
witnesses bis own statement, and ask him
such questions as are deemed necessary to
brine out tbe truth clearly, and test tbe
grounds of the witnesses' knowledge. Tbe
answers will be written down below the vol
unta'ry statement of the witness, and tbe
whole sworn to by him before one of tb
members of tbe Commission. Meanwhile
the Surgeon will take from the claimant, if
It be all invalid case, a full history of tbe
diiability for which he claims pension, to
which he will make oatb, and also .examine
into his physical condition in order to ascer
tain for himself tbe nature and probable
cause of the disease or disability from which
the claimant suffers.
If any of tbe claimant's witnesses cannot
attend before the Commission with him.they
mar appear at another more convenient
time. If any of them reside in another pen
sion district, they may appear before tbe
Commission of tbe district where tbey re
side, when most convenient for them to do
i so, and their testimony will be forwarded to
. the Commission having tbe case.
' When tbe claimant shall bare thus secur
ed all the testimony be desires to produce,
the whole will be sent to the Pension Office
for the final settlement of tbe case.
Provision should also be made that in case
the claimant's testimony cannot well be ob
tained in this matter, it may be obtained, by
affidavit, as is now done ; and also (bat It
may be obtained, as now, In those cases
where the claim is mainly established by
the records.
I have been thus particular in describing
the details of tbe proposed system In order
that an intelligent judgment may be formed
of Its merits. For, as bad as the present sys
tem Is, It ought not to be supplanted by an
other unless tbe other is clearly a better one
and a new system'should not be adopted af
fecting tbe rights of so many persons until
it is understood, and seen to be both practi
cal and beneficial.
! Is New York State it appears that all the
republican state ticket was elected except
Boule, candidate for state engineer. John
Kelly did It with bl little Taaomany.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Wasklifitoa, D.CNov. 17th 1870.
APOTHEOSIZING TUBMAN OK HORSEBACK.
A PIIKNOMlNAL DKTA?TMKNTAL REPORT.
Just now we are In the midst of prepara
tion for the grandest pageant that has been
seen In Washington since the combined hosts
of Grant and Sherman marched In triumph
through the city "when the cruel war was
ovtr." Before this reaches you the insub
stantial pagoant will havo faded,
but It will leave behind It the author
of Its brief existence a monument In
bronze, representing General Thomas as
he was supposed to have sat his horse on the
precipice of Lookout Mountain where the
vision of a strong eyed man may sweep por
tions of the frontiers of four states and the
vlllaga of Chattanooga. If tbe man who
lias a photographic gallery overhanging that
reel pice had taken General Thomas and his
horse as.they really were on that occasion,
and some American Mossonler could have
bad tbo genius to fix It In bronze, we would
now have a much more real and antlsttc, be
cause a more natural, representation thau Is
presented here. Our artists are always striv
en after theatric effect, Ignoring nature.and
out-Heroding Herod In their attempts at art.
The result is that we havo an cquestian mon-
ment , very good as a likeness of the rider,
but, as a whole, spoiled by a silly idea of
iquestrian attitudinizing, which would seem
to have been drawn partly from a circus
performance and partly from tbe absurd re
presentations in boy s pictorials and dime
novels of tbe horscmanihipof border rangers.
General Tbomas is represented holding tbe
horse with slack rein and stiff, uplifted arm,
as no rider would hold a horse on safe
ground, much less In such a situation.
from tue position ot tnia statue two om
en may be seen that have been pat up with
in the last decade those of General lie
I'herson and General Scott. There aro
three others in Washington, Generals Wash
ington, Jackson nnd Green. A strang
er reading our history in our monuments
would suppose wo were a very martial, in
stead of a decidedly commercial and agri
cultural people. Our real triumphs, those
which will make our country and epoch
memorable through all the ages, our tri
umphs over physical matter, tbe beneficent
heroism that has transformed a wilderness
threaded it with electric wires and iron roads
these victories of peace we ignore, and
ervilely imitate the monarchies across the
sea, apotheosizing the man on horseback.
We out do the warlike nations. All the
Napoleonic wars failed to produce such a
harvest of equestrian statues as our brief wars
hare doue.
The city will soon have its winter com
plement of statesmen, politicians, and socie
ty people, The congressional session will,ln
all probability, be more remarkable for its
canvassing and caucusing preparatory to
the presidential contest, than for legitimate
legislative work. The Departmental reports
are in an advanced stage of prepara
tion, and one ot them, at least, will be i
happy surprise to the country. The Seer e-
tary of tbe Navy will show an unexpended
balance of $1,500,000 of last year's appro
priation. It has always been the custom of
Cabinet Officers to expend all the money
granted by Congress, and then ask for more
in the shape of a deficiency appropriation,
but this phenominal Mariner, from the
banks of tbe Wabash, has not only lived
witbin his means, but has saved the snug
little sum of $1,500,000. Such management
of the Navy Department has made contrac
tors grieve, but it cannot but make the peo
pie laugh.
. . u. A. B.
Capturiie a Mile.
W W. Scranton, general superintendent
of the Lackawanna coal and Iron company's
industries at Scranton, Pa., with a small
force of the coal and iron police bas seized
and taken possession of an iron mine in
New York at the point of the bayonet. The
Lackawanna coal and iron company have
obtained control of the lease ot tbe Tilly
Foster iron mine, two miles from Brewster's,
in Putnam county, New York. Last fall
Andrew Cosgriff, superintendent of tbe
mines, contracted witb T. H. Canfield and
Thomas Maley to do the mining, stipulating
that it might run until either of the parties
to the contract became dissatisfied. Tbe
contractors were so slow, however, that tbe
contract was no longer profitable to the
company, because since business commenc
ed 'booming' the demand for ore exceeded
tbe supply, and It was necessary to push
mining operations more vigorously. There
fore contractors Canfield and Maley were
notified that the contract would cease on the
31st of October last. These gentlemen took
no notice of tbe notification. W. W. Scran
ton proceeded to tbe mines, had an inter
view with contractor Canfield, and made
several fair propositions to the contractors,
They, however, refused to deliver the mines'
over to the proprietors.
Mr. scrautou thereupon teiegrapnea to
Caputs) Carl McKinney, of tbe coal and,
iron police of Scranton, to bring witb him
six members of the force to Brewster's, tbe
seat of the trouble, meaning to drive the
miners out if necessary. Meantime it bad
been whispered about that dispossession by
force was contemplated, and the contractors
proceeded to make everything secure below
to await tbe attack of the Scranton forces.
On Friday tbe situation bad not materially
changed, and stationing a guard at the
mouth of the shaft preparations were made
for a descent. The only means of Ingres
was down a rickety ladder, and tbe pit was
over two hundred feet deep, with eleven
hostile men at tbe bottom of the shaft. Mr,
Scranton beaded the posse, and, armed with
rifles, tbe daring men commenced the dan
gerous descent. They were soon astonish,
ed witb an explosion from below, which
sent up a shower of stones and gravel, and
narrowly escaped precipitating the party to
tbe bottom. They clung to tbe frail ladder,
and pressing closely to the wall of the shaft
thus escaped danger.
One of tbe police proposed abandoning
tbejob. but Mr. Scranton commanded tho
men to follow. When witbin about fifty
feet from tbe bottom another explosion oo
curred, and though tbe air was filled with
stones, singular as it seems, no one of tbe
descending party was hurt. When within a
few feet of tbe bottom it was observed that
a miner was about llghtlug another charge,
Lof what was shortly atterwards discovered to
be dynamite, and yelling to blm with guns
leveled upon him be was warned that If be
attempted to fire tbe train tbey would shoot
him at his work, Alarmed at the sight of
six determined men, he fled to th inner re
cesses of tbe mlno, followed by the balance
of tbe operators. Alter providing against
mother dynamite explosion, the Scranto-
niaue let tuemselvrs down another fifty foot
shaft by a bucket, wben tbe miners showing
fight were so hard pressed that tbey sarreud
ered. Tbey were driven out of the mine at
the point of tbe bayonet, however, and sev
eral of them suffer bayonet wounds. Upon
coming to the surface Mr. Scranton and bis
posse were arrested, and giving bail for each
in the sum of 1250, were released. The
contractors were also arrested. Tbe com
pany hi possession, and the matter will
probably subside without further litigation,
Tbe people around Brewster." are Indignant
that a Scranton armed poose should invade
their country and capture an iron mipe.

DEATH Or DREWS AND 8TICHIKR.
Charles Drews and Franklin 8tlchler
were hanged at Lebanon, Pa,, last' Friday
for the murder of an Inoffensive old man
known as Joe Raber who resided - In a hut
with a woman a few years bis junior, to
whom he was not married. He subsisted
on the charity, of his neighbors. This man,
Israel Brandt, Josiah Hummel, George
Zechman and Henry F. Wise Insured for
(10,000, the policies having afterwards been
assigned to them. A few months subse
quently Raber was drowned, and the crime
was traced to those who had him insured,
and two who had been employed to work
the old man out of the way. The princi
pal conspirator was Israel Brandt, a one
armed man, and Charles Drews, aged about
sixty years, was selected to drown the un
suspecting Raber, who expressed his, will
ingness to be Insured to any amount to the
Interest of tbe conspirators under the inspir
ation of a-fpromiso that he should never
waut for the necessaries of life. The four
men according. y bad made out policies ag
gregating (10,000, which they were to re
ceive at the dealt of the Ins ired. The ap
plications were made in August, 1878, and
on tbo evening of the following 7th of
December the dead body of the old
man was found in Indiaotown Creek, about
100 yards from the residences of two'of the
murderers. Deatb proofs were soon made
out in tbo presence of thi conspirators, but
tbe money was never paid because of a sus
picion that Raber had been murdered. A
searching investigation was instituted and,
facts were nana developed, showing beyond
doubt that the old limn had been forcibly
drowned, and the authors of his death were
Stlchler, Drews, Brandt, Wise, Hummel,
and Zechman, and they were arretted, A
number of persons outside thU party hud
knowledge of lliu Intended murder n( Kabcr,
and ono bad seen Inn r.ruua committed, but
owing to threat repeatedly made, that if
they revealed the secret they would be shot,
they Kept their llpi scaled lor several months
except among llioe concerned In the plot.
The first person who gave tbe Insurance
companies interested, and thu authorities,
luiortuiit infirmalion relative to tbe crime
was Jo0ili l'eters, a yotin uuu who is
married m Dre.v' duittiters. lie hud
beon in the iirnivyiud coming home uu a
furlough he w.ii fully apprised of tbe
scheme to murder Joseph Kiber, and saw
Franklin S.ic iler lliro v blm into tho Hream
in which he win found, (shortly before the
commission of the crime, while chopping
wood in 'he iiiuuuiaiii, hit latlirr-in-law
approached him with a proposition to make
"a nice pile uf money without stealing.'
He said thai Brandt bad olf.-red him $000 i.
he drowned tueokl iimu, aud that he had
agreed to perform the work. Hp, however,
desired the assistance, uud suggested to
feter to join blm in the plot. Peters says
he refused to have anything to do witb the
murder, when LVewa threatened to shoot
him if be disclosed the couverwitioui Drews
bad also askrd Elijah Stlchler, aged about
20 years, to aid him in the proposed drown
ing, ottering him 100 if he poled the flat in
which it was proposed to take ltaber on a
saw mill dam several .miles distaut. .Brandt
was iu doubt whether. Ruber would be in
duced to make the trip, but Zechman re
plied that be bad him in tune now, and,
that by stain , that bis wife was hungry
for fish, he could get the old mail to form
one of the fishing party. Brandt aAernards
saw Elijah Stlchler, and urged him to ac
cept the proposition made to him by Drews
who was to throw the victim in the water,
wbilo Stlchler, was to pass over him with
the flat, and after he had been drowned
jump in and save bun, exchanging his wet
clothing for dry clothing iu tbe neighbor'
hood, and thus making it appear that Raber
had been accidentally drowned. Stlchler
refused the bribe, and be, too, was told that
if be exposed tbe plotters his life would
pay the lorlelt. iue murderous mission
was uudertaken, Joseph Peters accompany
log him, according to Drews' confession two
months ago ; but Rab.r was not drowned,
owing to Drews' lack uf courage. Tbe
next plot was.tu drown the old mau In In
diautown Creek, and to assist him iu this
undertaking Hie employed Frankliu Stlchler,
20 years old last month, for $100. Slichler
had been previously solicited tocommit tbe
murder by Brundt, but lor s.iuu unexplain
ed reason, the negotiations werj not pressed
to a successful issue.
On Saturday, December 7th, 1878, Drews
paid sevcial visits to tuber's hovel, and
between four and five o'clock lured blm
into his house. Then he made an arrange
ment to accompauy him to the other side of
Indiantown Creek to get him some meat.
Joseph reters, Drews scn-lu-law, wbo was
upstairs, heaid the two leave the house, and
looking through a dingy window, a.w them
and Franklin Stlchler proceeding by a small
path toward the stream, the shores of widen
were connected by a narrow foot bridge,
Wben Raber had reached tbe middle of
the stream Slichler caught the old man by
the shoulder, tripped blm and threw him
into the water. Alter they hail accom'
plished their mission tbey returned to the
bouse.
All this was witnessed by Peters. AsSilch
les clothing was soaked with water by rea'
son of.the d'fficulty be had In keeping down
tbe bead of tbe struggling Raber, be ex
changed it for some belonging to Drews on
tbe return of the murderers. Iu the pre
ence of Peters, Stlchler remarked, that i
any one came into tbe house the wet cloth
ing should be kept from sight. Later in
the day Stlchler returned to Drews' real
dence and inquired if the report that Raber
bad been drowned were true, to which
Drews replied that he had seeu tbe old man
falling Into the creek from a window in. the
house. This was tho story concocted by tbe
two men to m'slead tho 'people. About
week later Stichler was a visitor at Drew
house, ard while there both of them, iu the
presence of Peters and Drews' family, talk
ed boldly of tbe crime, both remarking that
it required their combiued ttfjrt to drown
Raber, wbo weighed between 170 and 180
pounds. Prior to the commission of the
crime Drews told his wife that be was to
get (1,500 for killing Raber, which elided
from ber the response, that he might be
cheated by those wbo had employed him,
Earlylln February last Joseph Peters
raid; information against the four conspir
ators and two other participants in the crime
and last May tbey werssall convicted, after
an eventful trial of seven days. The testi
mony against tbe accused, except Zicbman,
was overwhelming, The principle wituesses
against Drews were his own daughter and
ber husband, whose testimony was not
shaken by the most searching cross-exam
(nation. Tnese statements have been cor
roborated by Drews and Stlchler in their
confessions.
Now that the Tilden "barT is smashed
otber candidates are looming up. General
Hancock, Senator Bayard and Horatio Sey
mour are named as probable candidates for
tbe Democratic nomination next year.
A Snbaarlne Monster.
The death of J, R. McCllntock In Boston
harbor, while experimenting with 'torpe
does, furnishes a finale to tho history close
ly Interwoven with the rebellion, McClln
tock was a resident of New Orleans, and
during tbe war hts name was a terror to the
men of tho United States Navy who were
located In Southern waters. It was he who
Introduced tho torpedo mode ot warfare,
which belore had boon recognized as a legi
timate arm ol the service. Ho was the In
ventor of tbo submarine vessel which had
become famous In the history of tho late war
as the destroyer of United States gunbor.ts
Milwaukee, Tecumseh nnd the Houatonlc
at Savannah, Tho latter nnmed boat had
been lying for days with 700 pounds of gun
. t.. - j i , ,
liuwuur uiiurr uer, hum every means kuuwii
to the rebels had bee i exhausted for ex
ploding It, but without avail. McCllntock
was sent for with his submarine torpedo
vessel, and within an hour nfler launching
tho formidable though contracted vessel the
Houstttonlc and her 100 men were blown to
atoms, McCllntock' vessel was forty feet
long, built cigar shape, and was five feet
between decks. It was so constructed that
It would tl at at any depth under the water
or ou the water. The manner nf operating
It was to sink It to a depth sufficient to paw
under the keel of the vessel to bo destroyed.
Frdm the stern extended an arm from which
was suspended the torpedo, Tho torpedo
Itself was so constructed as to float at any
given depth also. After parsing under tho
ship to be destroyed the torpedo vessel was
brought nearer to tho surface of tho water,
and propelled as rapidly as possible away
from the fated ship. In this" manner the
torptdo, which was in tow, would bt forced
against the side of the ship with sufficient
force to explode it aud thus complete its
Jcsdly work. '
llerore entering upon the hazardous ex
periment of attempting to llvo in an air
tight veasil under water McClituock con
sulted Professor Roblinnu, of New Orleans,
and other scientific nuthorlty to ascertain
bow long It would besafo for him to remain
under water in his novel invention, and
also explain to blm what sensations he
might expect to experience when the .oxy
gen in the air had been consumed to such a
degree as to render his situation dangerous,
Professor Robinson said to McOliulock he
might remain under water two hours, but
Kave him no information its to what his
sensations would be wben the oxygen had
been consumed. Without further light
than this the daring McCliotock went down
for the first time in his bolt alone, and find
ing himself us able to breathe freely under
water as above, he remained in Ms subuin
rlno shell for five hours. In the next exper
iment be look another mail down with him,
and continued each time lie experimented to
increase the number of persons in the boat
until be had ten men n his vessel, and in
tend of remaining under water but two
hours the ten men lived down among the
fi-hes for twenty-four hours. The boat was
propelled by a windlass attached to a screw,
and was worked by hand, and :ould hi
raised to tbe surface or lowered to r.ny
depth at will with all possible vase, and
guided in any direction, so that he could as
effectually defy tbe enemy in any direction
as a porpoise does who leaps out of the
water, plunges out of sight, aid afterward
appears in the direction lets, expected,
ihis vessel, however, after destroying the
Uousatonic, was itself lost. There were ou
it at the time of doing its deadly work ten
Englishmen, and it was supposed by Mc
Clintock that after destroying tho Houston
io the vessel was driven out to sei in a storm
and that it finally went down.
At tbe time ot tbo lata! accident in Uos'
ton harbor McClintock had bis. plans per
f'ected for constructing another submarine
vessel which was to have been 4in improve'
ment ou tbe former one in the matter of
propelling and several other important lea
lures. Instead of being propelled by hand
he had iuveuted a motive power to supplant
band power ; the vessel could have been
lighted with gas ; an' apparatus for supply
ing oxygen bad bjen contrived, also means
for compressing and emitting air from cham
bers containing compressed air. Tbe Lay
torpedos, which aro regarded as the most ef
fective aud wbicti the inventor sold to tbe
Russian Government for u large sum of
money, are operated with compressed air
aud steered by electricity. These torpedos
carry a signal which marks their course to
tbt operator, but tbe siguul is also u warn
ittg of their approach to tbe enemy. To
protect ships from torpedeos of this cbarac
ter they are supplied with what are known
as "crinolines," a wire -netting, which can
easily be lowered around the ship As it
requires, a hard substance for the torpedo to
strike against to cause it to explode, tbe
wire nettiug destroys its force and prevents
it from coming in coutact with the ship at
all. McCliutock's submarine torpedo vessel
gave no warning of its approach, but silent'
ly and secretly and effect! vely performed its
death-dealing mission. ..
In the year 18C8 a royal commission met
McClintock at Halifax, where tempting
offers were made to bim to enter the British
uaval service ; but he declined them, pre
ferrlng to remain in his own country. On
tbe 10th of October be was to exhibit to
company of B iston capitalists, who were to
pay (100,000 for tho idea, bow- effective an
explosion be could make with a newlyin
vented torpedo. The torpedo was about ten
Inches square, it contained a charge equal
to tbe bursting power of four hundred and
eighty pounds ofgunpowder, and could be
set off by a forty-pound blow.
After having destroyed hundreds of Yan
kee lives and millions of dollars In Yankee
gunboats iu Southern waters, be exclaimed,
when cautioned to be careful in using tbe
torpedo which caused his death : "Careful ?
Pshaw I I have laid torpedoes under tbe fire
of Yankee guus. I guess I can lay one in
damned Yankee waters when none of their
guns are around." His deatb was bis an
swer. Wisdom in Chunks.

be had by any purchaser with two cents, it hates
Injustice and rascality even more than It hates un

deplores nincompoops of every species. It will con

third. All honest men, with honest conviction,
whether sound or mistaken, are In Its friends. And
Tho Suu makes no bones or telling the truth to Its
friends whenever occasion arises tor plain speak-
