EVENING BULLETIN. Thurrday, January 23, 1868. THE GIVETIMBIIRG LOTTERY. The report of General Van Vyck, from the Congressional Committee of Retrench ment, on the * Gettysburg Lottery scheme, gives the public a very concise exposition of this now notorious affair. From the time when the EVENING BULLETIN and the Ledger of this city first exposed the fraudulent character of this scheme, the officers of the law have been diligent in their prosecution of the necessary measures for its suppression. The audacious scheme by which these lot tery-dealers enlisted the aid of the Post-Mas ter-General and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue has been unearthed by General Van Wyck, and between the uncompromising course of Attorney- General Brewster, the fearless criticisms of a portion of the press, and the revelations of the Congressional Committee, the scheme has been stripped of all disguises, and stands, with its intelligent actors, before the public in all its naked moral and legal deformity. The community is now able to see clearly 'what an imposition bas been practised upon it in the name of patriotism and charity. Generals Meade, Bickel, Beaver and Penny packer were drawn into the scheme by what now appears as a deliberate fraud upon their generous imptilses in behalf of their unfortu nate brothers int.,arms, and but for the early denunciation of •the iniquitous scheme, the public would have been fleeced to an enor mous extent, under the pleasant delusion tha the invalid soldiers of the republic were reap big the benefit. The 'Van Wyck report supplies much valuable information not heretofore divulged. It gives the secret origin of the whole scheme and tells the history of the Anderson dia monds, upon which the whole affair was founded. It shows that France, Egerton and Dickinson, "well 'known as professional lottery gamblers," were actively Connected with it from the beginning, although their names were carefully kept out of sight of the Pennsylvania Legislature. It gives the his:- tory and the real value of the diamonds, farms, yachts and other prizes. It comments very severely on NI.: Collector Diehl's re commendation for the exemption from taxa tion. It gives the gratifying intelligence that the concern has thus far 'lost $BO,OOO, a fact mainly due to the manner in which its true nature has been exposed by the public press. It points out, in strong terms, the demoralization which has been produced in this country by gift enterprises, and concludes with a recommendation that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue be requested to reverse his action in the case, and collect all taxes and license from the con cern, provided for by law. Withregard to the domestic aspect of this Gettysburg Lottery, it is understooti that it has been so hard pressed by the Attorney- General that it is about ready to surrender at discretion. Nothing less than an uncon ditional surrender will be accepted by the officers of the State, and unless this is made, the matter will be speedily settled by the proceedings now pending 'in the Supreme Court. It is a case full of warning to our legislators. It was cun ningly devised and adroitly engineered by those who were really in its secret, and it strongly suggests the necessity for a closer scrutiny of the measures which are presented at Harrisburg, in order that frauds like this shall not be foisted upon the community under the specious guise of charity, patriotism or religion. 21. R. LINCOLN'S JOURNEY ERO3I HARRISBURG 'lO WASHINGTON. Mr. Allan Pinkerton, the Chief of the Na tional Detective Agency at Chicago, has. within a few days, published a pamphlet which narrates the circumstances connected with the famous journey of Mr. Lincoln from Harrisburg to Washington on the night of the 22d of February, 186]. The object of the little work is to prove that Mr. Pinkerton, through his corps of detectives, did discover a plot to assassinate the President elect as he passed through Baltimore on his way to the Capital, and that the disclosures which he made to Mr., Lincoln, backedby similar repre sentations that had been made to him about the same time by General Scott and Mr. Wil liam H. Seward, - through Mr. Frederick Seward, induced Mr. Lincoln to change the plan of his journey and hurry on to Washington in advance of the time fixed in the programme of •his movements. Another object which Mr. Pinkerton has in view in his publication is to prove that he enjoyed the confidence of the presidential party; and that thestnanagement of thetetalls of the sudden joulltiey was mainly entrusted to him. Thus far the pamphlet is only im portant to Mr. Pinkerton; but the evidences which he furnishes in making up his state menu become important as throwing un doubted light upon an incident that must always possess peculiar interest to the readers of American history. In making up his account Mr. Pinkerton has procured letters from the various railroad officials who were familiar with the sudden and unexpected movement of Mr. Lincoln; from such of the officers of the American Telegraph Company as were in the secret; from Bon. N. B. Judd, who was one of the Presidential traveling party, and from ex- Governor Curtin. The letters of these va rious persons are clear and explicit, and they dissipate any doubts that irresponsible publi cations have thrown over the affair. One lie that was invented at the time, in the effort to throw ridicule upon Mr. Lincoln, is nailed to, the eounter_ by this publication. We relitr the long cloak and Scotcti cap story. The evidence of Governor Curtin, who accoaa , panied Mr. Lincoln to the depot at Harris burg, and others who came in contact with him during the journey to Washington, is clear' that Mr. Lincoln .was dressed , in his ordinary clothing, and that he more a soft felt bat. It is not a very important fact ; but the truth might as well be known upon 'a' point, io which so much pains were taken to make Mr. Lincoln appear ridiculous. The Pamphlet would have been much more satisfactory and would have posse , se 1 much more historical value end interest, it . Mr. Pinkerton had given us the details of the plot for the assassination of Mr. Lincoln in Bal- j dram. In hie introduction to the letter re ferred to above he MS: "Mile engaged in the investigations spoken of, as relating to the safety of the Philadelphia, Wil mington and Baltimore Railroad track, myself and detectives accidentally acquired the knowl edge that a plot was in extstence for the assassl nation of Mr. Lincoln on his passage through Baltimore to Washington to be inaugurated as President. The plot was well conceived, and would, I am convinced, have been effective for the purpose designed. This information was ac quired by me while in the service of the Phila delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, who wore paving me for my services." itis certainly due to the public that sow more specific information than this, conce ing this much talked of Baltimore Viot, should be given. Tim reasons for • - mtzesy , if any existed subsequent to the PW.mil of the failure of the plot, have vert , P;tiarty passed away long cre this, and yet " I ce have had nothing more definite than. r.ne vaguo state ments of Mr. Pinkerton, Mr. Snperintendent Kennedy and General Lafayette (C. Baker. The pone want something more outliers tive andspeciaa than mere Tumor and gen- era assertions. Them is a 'somewhat personal point to whidh we wish to refer in connection with this pamphlet. The BULTZTIN has, on more than one occasion, stated that the special train which brought Mr. Lincoln from Harris burg to Philadelphia, on the eventful night, was ahead of time, and that the vantage containing the President-elect 'teas' driven by a round-about way - to the Baltimore depot, in order to "kill time." This statement, which was given on sufficient authority, has been ,at- 1 tacked, and a cock-and-bull story of a break neck drive from West Philadelphia, and a long, detention of the Baltimore train, has been insisted on. Mr. 11. F. Kenney, the Su , perintendent of the Philadelphia, Wilming -1 ton and Baltimore Railroad Company, who rode on'the box.,with the driver on the night in question, writes as follows .concerning this point: "Upon their alighting, I had the honor of being introduced by you to President Lin s coln. and he, with Mr. Lumen, forthwith got into \the carriage which had been 'provided by you, and the driver of which was placed by you under my dheetions as to his movements, so that there might be regulated with a view of reaching our depot a few minutes; after the regular starting tine of oun train. This required that we should while away time; for the train from Harrisburg had arrived considerably earlier than was an ticipated. Accordingly, after you had 'taken your seat in the carriage with President Lin coln and Mr. Lemon, I took mine alongside i of the driver, and directing him first down Mar ket street as far as Nineteenth, then up that street as far as Vino street, and thence to Seven teenth street, requested him to proceed down that street slowly, as if on the lookout for some .oa% towards our depot. Upon reaching the hil -1 'mediate neighborhood of the depot, the carriage .was turned into the nearest cross street ((.arpen ter), so that its occupants might alight in the shadow of the yard fence there. The President and Mr. Lemon, under your guidance, then en tered the depot and passed through to the sleep ing car, where you had secured berths for them. I followed at a short distance, and delivering to the conductor the parcelhe was to wait for, gave orders for the train to start. It was at once put in motion, the time being 10.55 P. M., five min utes after the regular time of starting." These facts do not seem to be very impor tant of themselves; but they go to make up an important link in the history of the grandest series of events that the world has ever witnessed. Mr. George Lippard's non sensical Fourth of July '76 story of the "Old Bell-ringer" in the State House Steeple, and the "blue-eyed boy, is not very important; but it has befogged and bewildered some usually wise heads concerning the incidents attending the passage of the Declaration of Independence. It is best to secure the truth of history while such a result is practicable. lIITIMGRATION. The number of immigrants that arrived at New York, during the year 1867, was 242,- 371. The largest number, of course, ,was from. Germany, reaching 117,591, or nearly one-half of the whole number. Ireland sent 65,134, England, 33,712, and Scotland, 6,315 —malting 105,161 from the -so-called 'United Kingdom. Germany and Great Britain, therefore, furnished ,222,752 of the immi grants, leaving only 19,619 to be divided among the other countries of the earth. The three most despotic nations, France, Spain and Russia, furnished together only 3,592 of the new American citizens; showing that the people of those countries have local attach ments that are sufficient to make them resist the temptations to come to a free country, where they can buy-land cheap, obtain-abun dant labor with high wages, and escape the dreaded conscriptions which carry off hun dreds of thousands of the best young men every year for the military service. The immigration of 1867 was larger than that of any year since 1854. It was about nine thousand larger than that of 1866. It was three or four times larger than that of 1861 and that of 1862, during which years'the first shocks of the civil war were felt, and men were deterred from coming to a land where a conflict was raging the end whereof could not be foreseen by foreigners. But this feeling began to abate immediately after 1862. In 1863 and 1864; while the war was raging moat fearfully, there came to New York 156844 and 225,216 respectively—or 363,060 in the two years. During the last twenty years the immigration at New York has amounted to, 3,739,643 souls. If the other pats were included the total would exceed four millions—a larger number of persons than can be found in some quite important kingdoms of Europe. There - is an impression that' the immigra tion of 1868 will be less than that of 1867, But there can hardly be any good ground for thiti. The enormous armies that the present uneasy condition of the Continent is causing the great Powers to organize, and the geaerat dread of a great war, will make many per sons think Of going to America who would, otherwise, be content to remain at home. The new cOnscription law'ol - France alone ought to add very largely to the emigration from that country. Prussia and the States of the North German Confederation are, also, all legislating'for large armies in a way calcu lated to increase greatly the number. of Ger man emigrants. It is safe to estimate that there will be at least a quarter of a million added to the population of the United States from foreign countries during the year 1868. The afraospliere of Virginia seems to be ee milially litrontble to the develoinnent or tire rrtir.g fireelivitiis in gentlemen wh > hviale it. .NOt only. are thuse_"nativevi4tit to the THE DAILY EVENING BULLETTiN:-ITHILADELPHIA, 'THURSDAY, JANUARY 23.1868. manner horn," like the wises and pollards, advocates of a cower .dg code Of honor, but citizens of other Str Ates who settle in Virginia appear to acquirr instantly a sanguinary, al beit a cautious peroeity„ The latest develop ment of this offgateies of chivalry is in the case of a certal A major D. B. White, who em braced r ig., opportunity offered by General Butler' $ litte visit to Richmond to send him a c hal' Atrige to mortal combat, because of a iciied insult offered by the General to the ilood-lbirsty Major in 1865. At that 'time Major White was an officer of •a (regiment in Major-General Butler's department, but having a distaste for glory, , and a certain thirst for filthy lucre, the 'valiant Major withdrew from the service with out having fleshed his maiden sword, and de termined to serve his country in the peaceful and safe capacity of a sutler. But General, Butler, indignant at the unpatriotic conduct of the man, or conscious of some defect in his character, refused to permit him to in dulge in the pleasant duty of realizing three and four hundred per cent. by trading with the soldiers. The Major kept his wrath warm until a day or two ago, and then gave it vent in the challenge. Of course General Butler would not fight. Probably he would not have done so under any circumstances, but to submit to be shot at by a man whose sole grievance was that he could not be a sutler,would have been grossly absurd. But General Butler might have ac cepted the .challenge without endangering anything but his dignity: Men like this fierce Major, who left the army because they ob jected to the use of real powder and ball, are not likely to display any fondness for private warfare where those articles are used. The Major NVUSiV ell assured that he would not meet his foe, or he would probably never have sent the challenge. Being slain by General Butler amounts precisely to the same thing as being shot by a regiment of rebels, and both would have been extremely unpleasant for the Major. lie doubtless supposes that he has vindicated his claim to the title of a chival rous Virginia gentleman by his little' outburst of mild ferocity. We think he has only paid a tribute to the foresight of General Butler, who considered him a coward for resigning his position in the army, and a Man who would be likely to affiliate with the rebels, which is precisely what he has done since the conclusion of the war, during his regldence In Virginia. The lawn are very clear and explicit in re gard to obecene publications, and magistrates can experience no difficulty in finding legal authority for checking the, sale of the beastly sheets that are so freely sold under various sensational 'names. To the intelligent adult these publications are simply disgusting; but intelligent'adults do not form the class for which the getters-up of the foul trash cater. Their market is among the young and inex perienced, and the way the poison works may be seen by looking in the faces of the clusters of half-developed boys and girls who gather about the shops and stands where the pernicious stuff is ex posed for sale. All the wholesome influences of the home circle, the bible-class, the pulpit and the lecture-room are counter acted by these pictorial abominations, and in finite mischief is done by them. This serious and growing evil is clearly within the control of the authorities, and "the Mayor and Chief Boggles could scarcely do the community a better service than by stopping the exhibition and sale of the vile trash. New York is the source from which this vicious stuff emanates, and its utterance is beyond our control; but a few prosecutions and punishments for ex posing and selling it here would have a wholesome effect. Vice is as old as the world itself, and it will continue to flourish as long as the race of Adam exists; but that fact furnishes no reason •why young and ten der minds should be educated to pruriency and indecency. This is the precise effect of ; the publications referred to and they are working almost infinite mischief.

L"rom the Chicago Jonrual, 21et.3 Most of our readers are acquainted with the. name and exploits of Joe Brown, the famous principal in the Walworth county, Wis., treasury rc bbery, which was committed about the end of 1r465. At that time, one night, the office of the Treusurtr of Walworth county was entered, the safe broken opr a and all the money it contained, amounting to $35.000, abstracted. in this work Brown was assisted by two men, who arc DOW ECrring: a long torah in the Wis consin State Penitentiary. Their arrest, many mouths after the crime was com mitted, caused considerable interest in the minds Of the public. They were trucked through State after State, down to the southern boundary of Texas, from there through Arizona, and were finally captured in New Mexico, Ifc wisely gave this city a wide berth. but yesterday stole in, thinking probably that all had been forgotten. lie Ras, however, mistaken, and is now confined In the Armory, to answer the charge of attempt:A murder, preferred against him by detfleilve Joe Dixon. It seems that after the robbtry and his C ?Ape, Brown came to Chicago. On the night of the ]4th of January,lB66,lm was arrested out of a low brothel on Clark street, and confined in the old Central Station, located on the corner of Wash iegton and La Salle streets. The walls and bars of bis cage were not strong enough to hold him, however, and he. successfully escaped. IL thorough search .was at once Instituted. The next day Dixon spotted his man in aloes den on State street. surrounded by . a number of desperadoes. By detective cunning Dixon succeeded in parting him froth his companions, and. during a short walk on Wabash avenue, arrested him. They had proceeded to Congress street ; the attention of the officer was for a moment taken from his charge, and, in anothermoment the latter fired a revolver at his head. " The ball just grazed his scalp and went harmlessly through -space. A struggle then ensued, during which the officer got possession of the weapon, and he carries it. to this day. Brown failed to make his escape. Ide was taken to Walworth county, but before the time of trial he again broke jail, and to aid him in his flight, he thought fit to appro priate some other man's horse acd buggy. Bat he was again recaptured, and on the day of trial allowed to turn State's evidence against his con federates, who had been captured in the mean time, and thus effected his own release. TIIE CHICAGO POISONING /DAME. Ernalin/Won of the Accused. (From the Chicago Journal. Jan. rut.] The girl Lizzie Stang, who poisoned all the members of her family on Saturday, was yester day afternoon brought before Justice Milliken fm examination. There tilling no witnesses present, Detective McCauley tealfied to the facto as pub lished, and asked for a continuance of the case until Saturday, which was granted, and bail fixed at *SO. The defendant was permitted to make a state -ment, in which she endeavored to throw the blame upon the mother and her younger slater. She stated that She had been sent for the poison by her mother. and that it had bten placed in the coffee through a mistake, by her-sister. She also stated that not long since her mother had said she would poison herself, or do something to get rid of her (Elizabeth); that she should leave the house; that when she had once left, and was liv ing out as tiservant, that her father and brother had•come Bid taken her home, saying that the house was one of improper character, and that she should not stay there. That as soon as her father showed symptoms of having been poisoned, that her motherhad driven her from the - house, saying that she had poisoned them all. That, before leaving, she had emotied the coffee out by her mothees idirection. The defendant seemed very much.depressed, and was continually weep ing and asserting her innocence. Many persons . are under the impression that Elizabeth is of un sound mind. Her victims are now a fair way toward recovery. A Irrafir.ofj the ,Trace.

These cases were brought for the purpose of testing the constitutionality of the bounty law of May 1, 1866. The Court say:— We think that thaquestion is one of interpreta tion only, and the act can be harmonized with former laws. This act, it is said, applies only to those veterans who were induced to re-enlist upon the faith of the offer of local bounties. The act 'of 1866 is supplementary to that of 1864. That act declares—"ln case any veteran Soldiers who have re-enlisted and have not been. credited to any special locality, shall hereafter be credited on the present draft to the localities from which they ortginally, volunteered, such veterans shall be paid by the local authori ties, whose duty it is to pay bounties, such, bounty as under the provisions of this act shall be paid to volunteers( rota; said locality." The purpose of the act of MG was not to enlarge the right to receive a bounty, or to create u liability where none before existed. Morgan's appeal is af firmed; Swum .vs, Childs, decree set aside.

A Singular Acene in 're%MS The Rochester Union on , ' DcowPrat publishes the following singular story: "The invidirnt is a native of ece. tie?: eobniy, 1 .`! . Z.-w Yeti:, anti for personal reasong I will not mt ntion his name. The circumstances, as witnessed by myself, are these: "I am in the employ of the Quartermaster's Department of the United States army, and on my way from Fort Gibson, In the Choctaw Na tion, to Austin. Texas, I met no obstruction until I crossed into Texas, where I was robbed of all I bad, including Official papers, the robbers permitting ate to retain the horse, as there was a large U. S. op bis shouldenand of no use to them. and would perhaps get them into trouble. I had not traveled far through the bottom when I suddenly came upon three horses hitched to ie sapling, and no one in 'fright. I did not turn back—was well aware I heff 'been seen, and to run would look suspicione, - and I mlghl get spilled out of my saddle, so I kept on. As I neared the homes a second edition of Dick Tur pin appeared,and with revolver leveled ordered I me to dismount. I complied with his request, at the time telling him tie was several hours too late, as I bad been robbed early in the morning, and after turning my,pockets,he told me to go on. I obeyed: bad proceeded thirty yards when I came upon two persons astride a log playing cards. I halted; neither noticed me, or seemed to,, being so interested in the game. One of the party be ing dressed decidedly better than the other, I concluded betted been in better luck. I rode nearer, eo near that I saw the game was 'seven up.' The stake was a. gold watch, which was ex plained after the tame was finished. "Tho well-dressed party bad been caught, like myself, and stripped of all his earthly goods; had delivered his watch reluctantly, telling the robber that be valued the 'wptch 'highly, not for its in trinsic worth, but that It was a keepsake. Its value was one hundred dollars in gold, but he would give his note for one hundred and fifty in gold, to be paid upon presentation,or would send the money or carry it himself to any point they would designate. and would bind himself by an oath that the robbery should remain a secret with him, and the money should be forthcoming as promised. After some conversation in Span ish they granted his request, and the note was written with a pencil, and the oath administered (all this had taken place previous to my arrival)), still they showed some disposition to be treach erous; finally robber No.l offered to play a single game of 'seven up'--iaute against the watch— which proposition was taken by the traveler, and the game commenced. As I drew near the game stood thus: Gentleman three,-robber four, robber dealing and turned Jack, making him live. Opponent begged, robber gate him three cards; the hand was played and Genesee made high, low, jack and gnAme and was declared victor. Robber No. 2 said he ' d —if the gent. wasn't en titled to the note. The traveler still said he was willing to pay the note it they would leave him his watch. This had a good effect upon them, and robber No. 2, who seemed to be the leader, declared he' should not pay a d—d cent. but to go on, and if the case was re* ported our -lives slaould pay the forfeit.--W wilt. take our chances on. that. We rode, and one hour put ten miles between us. We feared they might change their minds and want the watch. , related- the-incident at Austin, -and all agreed it was too good a joke to be kept, and if you consider it worth publishing yon shave my permission:' ' • • - "Yours, &c., HENRY A.

The Deconstruction Bill In the senate. MechaDeapatch to the Ittlladelphia Evening Bolletle.] WAslliNGToNjoh.23.—There Is a feeliatr of un easiness among most of the Radical Senators that no report will be made by the Senate Judi ciary Committee on the recently passed Recon struction bill for some two or three weeks to come. This committee, of which Senator Trum bull is chairman, has not yet even had the bill under consideration, and consequently the im pression prevails that Mr. Trumbull is trying to delay action on it. An effort will be made on Monday next to take the bill from the Committee and bring it up for discussion in the Senate as it passed the House, unless the Committee take some action regarding it before that time. The idea is held by many Radicals that 3f the Committee evince no disposition to take prompt notion in considering it,that it would be better for the interests of the country at large to dispose of the question at as early a day as possible.

For the lighter and more costly art!. des of trade. the transportation of which forms hut a small proportion of the price. the facilities afforded by our ocean and continental lines will largely supersede even the continuous navigntiou of the Suez Canal route, which at any time is liable to interrtion by European hestilities. The rapidity of transit higher large num ber of In. threes, conterbnlance thater of rail road trumportation and the double. transhipment. first at San Francisco, and then at New York. It may be ex. s meted that a very considerable portion of the tens and silks of China will reach England and Franco after tran sit over our railways, and a corresponding amount of their high-priced exports will reach Asia by the same route. The teas and silks imported into the British Wands during the live years ending in 1864 amounted to 641 428,3111 pounds valued at over rile' 000060.
