Washington Letter.
From Our llegular Correspondent
Washington, April 5, 1886.
The House of Representatives has
been giving itself to strikes for the
past few days, while the Senate has
been taking a rest voted for by the
majority, so that the Republican Sen-
I ators could fight in caucus over the
Edmunds’ resolutions. When they
: passed these resolutions last week,
j they supposed they had gotten
through with a discussion which
had been neither as interesting nor as
profitable as had been antiepated.
Some of the Republican Senators
did not consider it binding upon them
td follow the line of party action in
dicated in the resolutions, and held
that they were free to vote upon the
President's nominations according to
the merits of each case. But Mr.
Edmunds angrily demanded what was
the use of passsing his resolutions if
they were to get no good out of them.
Caucus after caucus was held, but
no agreement was reached, and it is
asserted that the debate was some
times more acrimonious than the Sena
tors care to acknow ledge. Hoar, Lo
gan, and Morrill are among the re
fractory Senators, and oddly enough
the latter, who is Mr. Edmunds’ most
stubborn combatant, represents the
same State as he. Mr. Morrill con
tended that an attempt to reject the
Democratic nominees would do the j
Republicans no good. It w’ould be
regarded by the people as partisan
obstruction, and would be resented as
such. Mr. Edmunds and his adhe
rents tried to secure the adoption of
a dozen differently worded proposi
tions, each practically committing the
caucus to carrying out the letter of
the Edmunds resolutions, but each
was beaten as soon as it was offered.
The result will be that the Edmunds
resolutions w’ill be virtually repudia
ted. There is, and has been, no co
hesion among the Republican Sena
tors. There is no sincerity in any
course they agree upon. One-half of
them are jealous of the other half,
and policies are voted for which no
one intends shall be carried out.
There are too many Presidential as
pirants among them for any harmony
of purpose. They have neither help
ed the party nor individual members
so far.
The continued illness of Secretary
Manning and the recent illness of
other Members of the Cabinet and of
Col. Lamont, the President’s efficient
private Secretary, have greatly in
creased the labor of Mr. Cleve
land during the past week.
Sickness in the Cabinet lias call
ed attention to the arduous nature
of the duties which Cabinet officers
are called upon to perform. And it
w’ould be difficult to find conditions,
that offer more liberal inducements
to illness than may be found in the
present Cabinet. The labor exacted
of its members i.- un: - .denting, con
stant, and severe.

Immense labor was required of the
Secretary personally.
The continuous strain of weighty
responsibilities, added to the ever
lasting worry of detail, makes a havoc
with the nerve forces that only regu
lar seasons of repose can repair. And
recuperation is not to be thought of
in Washington official life. Society
makes larger demands upon public
men every year. To entertain and to
be entertained is to perform the du
ties attached to the position. To
close the doors of a house that cus
tom has rented to society for the sea
son, as it were, is to be inhospitable
and eccentric. It is true Mr. Manning
went very little into society, and left
social duties usually to his wife, but
for all that he has had no rest.
It is to be hoped that the Senate's
vote to employ half a million dollars
in the erection of another monument
here to Lincoln will receive an em
phatic protest in the Lower House.
There is not even the poor argument
for the Senate bill that Lincoln has
no memorial, as is the case for in
stance with Lafayette. There is a
statue of him in front of the City Hall
ami by the colored race, another
ed the Emancipation group, be-
s several busts and oil paintings in
the Capitol.
It might be urged that these me
morials are inartistic, but the Senate’s
proposed work might be more* so.
The construction of immense piles of
stone as memorials of the dead is an
antiquated custom, more fitting the
era of mound builders than one of en
lightenment. It is true Washington
has such a one I>ere, but that was
begun vears ago. The modern idea
of a worthy memorial, and one com
mended bv every feeling of humanity,
is an asylum, a hospital, an art gal
lery. or other institution that will
benefit the living as well as honor the
dead.

From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, March 19.
New’ Orleans, La., March 17.—
[Special Correspondence.] 1 have
visited New Orleans for lo these manv
years, and at every visit resolved that
i would witness the drawing of the
far-famed Louisiana State Lotterv,
and invariably missed it for other arid
greater attractions. Yesterday, how’-
ever, was dreary and drizzly, and hav
ing nowhere else to go, I strolled into
the Academy of Music and at last saw
the modus operandi.
Knowing there are thousands of
your readers wdio would like to see it.
1, m the absence of their ability to
be present, concluded that an account
of it, as seen by me, would be inter
esting reading.
Let the reader enter with me the
Academy of Music, a large theatre on
St. Charles street. Either it or the
St. Charles Theatre is used at the
drawing. The admission is of course
‘‘free” on this occasion. Theparquette
is already crowded, so we'll go up in the
dress circle. Here we find it pretty
crowded by the fairer sex and then-
escorts.
On the stage w e see, to the right of
the audience, a large wheel about five
feet in diameter; the sides are plate
glass, and as clean and clear as only
plate glass can be gotten. They are
just emptying in great bags, out of
which roll little tin boxes or balls; in
these are the numbers; they nearly
half fill the immense wheel. ' All this
is watched by a commission, General
Jubal A. Early, with stooping shoul
ders and long white beard, has this
wheel in charge, and watches every
thing and everybody on the stage
closely.
On the left of the audience near the
footlights is a smaller wheel, with
glass sides. Into this they are emp
tying large bags filled with tin tubes
about the thickness of a large lead
pencil, and half as long, t saw these
plainer, as I was on that side of the
house. General Beauregard superin
tends this wheel, and watches it as
closely as “Old Jube'’ does wheel No.
1, for in each of these tin tubes is a
card bearing the amount of the prize.
Everything being now in readiness,
the door of each wheel is shut, two
negroes take hold of the cranks on
wheel No. 1, and turn it around two
or three times and then reverse the
roll; meanwhile General Beauregard
himself turns the smaller w heel back
and forth. The tickets and prizes
being now- well mixed, two boys are
blindfolded by Generals Early and
Beauregard. Gen’ls. Early and Beau
regard rhen unlock the door, the box-
takes a position near it—General Early
next to one and General Beauregard
next to the other, but at opposite sides
of the stage, and the different gentle
men of th^i committee, clerks, etc.,
take their places, and all.is ready,
j Now they are about to begin. So
j lead pencils and memorandum cards
are gotten out by the interested, who
cannot wait for’publication of even-
1 ing papers. Some of them have their
j tickets in their hands,, and as each
' number is called refer to them to “see
| if its my number.” Now for the pro
cedure.
l Boy puts his hand in wheel No. 1
! and pulls out a small tin case, hands
it to General Early. No. 2, who opens
lit, drops the casing into a box at his
: feet, and calls out in a weak voice the
number—we’ll say “67,554.” He then
hands it to No. 8. He calls it out in
a very loud voice. While this is being
done, boy at wheel No. 2 hands a
small tin tube to General Beauregard.
The general opens it, drops tube in a
box at his feet, calls out the prize—say
“one hundred dollars”—then hands it
to No. 3, who again calls it loudly.—
By this time No. 3 right and No. 3 left
of chair in centre of stage (in which
No. 4 is seated) hand the ticket and
the prize to No. 4, who rolls the two
together in a tin tube and throws them
into a box at his feet. This continues
to the close, the only variation being
in numbers and amount of prizes, $100
$200, $300, $509, and $1,000 are coolly
called out with an indifference worthy
of a hotel clerk when he tells you “your
bill is $21.80 for a day arid a half.”—
So it goes; then mixed in with these
amounts are $5,000, $10,000, $20,000,
$25,000, $50,000, and we wonder when
the capital prize will come—the pile
in the prize wheel is diminishing—two
or three fortunes have been given
away. 1 wate+» General Beauregard's
face as he mentally scans the num
bers, to see if 1 can tell when he first
sees the prize; but his face is as pas
sive as when he gave the order which
routed the feds at Bull Run, and 1
forget all about the prize until my
ears are startled by hearing him call
“one hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars.”
The only variation made is that they
wait its being recorded, and again
call out “ticket 73.049 wins $150,009,"
and look as if they are waiting for
some one to go up and get it out of
their way.. The rest of the call is mo
notonous, and the bulk of the crowd
leave. 1 waited until the last num
ber was called. It drew $1,000. And
so ended the drawing of March 16th.

’Twas funny to hear the comments:
“I’m all O. K., got a hundred. “I!
Johnny! I got de ’proximation.”
“Will, Km ahead,” etc. Then every
body rushed off to lunch, for ’tw-tus
near 3 o’clock, and we'd been sitting
there since 11. Some eat turkey, and
some eat crackers; some drank cham
pagne, and some drank water; some
won, some lost—but all resolve to “try
it again,' 1 and among the latter was
“yoors troolv,” Matt O’B.
