The United States Supreme court in thg case of an appefil to ft from Miaaifiaippi, of a suit them brought for the purpose of suppressing lotteries, has rendered a most sweeping and healthful decision. j~ The case ir analagoas to the Vincennes lottery case in this state, except that Mississippi’s supreme court decided ggaioat the lottery and has been sustained by the United States supreme court, while oun decided for the lottery, and unless there is room for appeal by the state against itf supreme court’s decision the law stands here upholding lotteries,authorised before the act forbidding them. In this Mississippi case, which touches the Vincennes case at all points, the lottery was authorised by the legislature in Janaary 1867. In July 1870 the legislature passed an act prohibiting the chartering of lotteries and further sale of tickets by those already chartered. The Mississippi court, in view of this prohibitory act, entered judgment ef ouster against the respondent, upon information filed by the attorney general, and the United States supreme conrf has held that the prohibitory aot is not invalid fnd unconstitutional because it impair 8 the obligation of contracts entesed. upon by the state, which is the point at issue,
fecaqpe:
Flrrt—A contract which a state antaraJhte when it gnn'a a charter to a private corporation is undoubtedly under the protection of the federal constitution. Second—That the legislature of Mississippi did undoubtedly enter lute a contract with this corporation, the condition of which was the payment to the state by the lottery company of a ' certain percentage of the letter’s receipt*. Third—

THE DAILY NEWS. TUESDAY, MAY 11, 1880. * r The Grant movement is bursting. It was the Illinois Granites’ last kick of desperation at Chicago yesterday. Conk lino and Cameron are beginning to find out that “fleas are not lobsters,” etc. After all this worry and plotting and counter-plotting as to the Chicago nominee, wouldn’t it be rather a fiat conciuaieu if the Cincinnati nominee were to be the one elected ? « , .•* Do the Grantitfcs think they can rally republicans to the support of their candidate, after suqh proceedings as characterized the Cook county convention yesterday ? Don’t they know that human nature and horse nalnre aw alike in this: that you may cudgel and driv* both animals up te the water, but yoW can't make them drink. No more desperate effort probably was ever m*de to carry a convention than the Grant men made to carty the Cook county convention at Chicago.- They failed—and they belted. They are a set of political desperadoes who are determined to rule or ruin. It remains to be seen whether or not they are stronger than their party.- w _ When John Sherman became secretary of the treasury the public debt (L cash in treasury) wan $2,061,826,686.02 and the yearly interest charge $94,403,• 645.50. Now the debt is $1,948,422,654.39, and the interest charge $80,946,055.00. Under his administration tHe principal has been reduced $113,334,032.23, and the interest $13,457,590.50. Greenbackers who are bellowing for a speedy payment of the debt, ought to heartily support Sherman. It does net seem to penetrate the skulls of the Grant men in Chicago, who are now beating their breasts and dying for fair representation in the state contention according to numbers, that no such “fair representation” was though* of in Pennsylvania and New York, whrte a small majority of thirty oj forty forced an entire state delegation to Chicago, passed iwtractions for Grant, and clinched them with the unit rule. These Grant fellows are as thin-skinned as they ere thick-headed. So long as they get the turkey ft is all right; but when the buzzard is passed around, they split the air with their cries ef pain and rage. Let the heathen rage. ■ ♦ a n— -*• There are charges and ooimter charges over the Grant belt in Chicago, at the Cook county convention yesterday. The following fhets are admitted by both factions : First, the anti-Granhelement carried the day at the polls and elected a majority of anti-Grant delegates, the InterOcean claiming 84 out ef 178 and the Tribune conceding 67: at any rate both agree that the Grant men were in agsUority, anti-Grant in*a majority. So much for the verdict at the polls. Then the Grant delegates, the minority, asked the anti-Grant • delegates, the majority, to , re . divide the delegation they should send to the state convention that it should stand proportionately for tn< i against Grant, as the county convention si**!. In other words, t.iey dul not want thensajority to use the rights of the majority to rule. This was very properly refused, end then the Grant minority bolted, held fa separate meeting, and elected a delegattep to the
The mpervision of both these systems of governmental pasrer is csntlnulng In its nstara, and they are to be dealt with as the espeeUi exigencies of the moment may require.

There la now saarcely a • state in the union where they are tolerated, and congress baa enacted m special statute, the object of which is to dose the malls agalnt them. This being the ease, "there can bd no question thro lotteries are proper subject* for the exercise of stats government as a police power. The contracts whieh the Federal constitution protects are those which relate to property rights, not to government right*- Bttterlei belong lo the latter
Then follows x bracing homily on the subjest. In short, it is a healthful decision all the way through, and affords a matter of interesting speculation for lawyers as to the predicament of this state’s laws in relation to it.
CURRENT COKMXarr. Tbs Louisville Post has a news agent named Grant Slaughter. It id in order to>ropbee the eonandrum, why will the Chicago convention resemble this gentleman? and the hopeful answer is, because it will be a GranUelaugh lor. The services of lawysrs in the British cabinet are valued more highly than those of other juea: The lord chancellor, the attor-ney-general, and the solicitor-general each has a higher salary than the prime minister orihe’sodsotariea. The lord chancellor receives $56,000 i year, fihe attbmey-general $46,000, and tha solicitor-general .$35,000, while Ike premier is paid $25,000 yearly, which is also the salary of the chancellor of the exchequer, and the home, the foreign, the Indian, the colonial, aad the war secretaries, The lord lieutenant of Ireland ceivee $106,000 per annum, aad the lord chancellor of. Ireland, $46,000, Judges also paid eaormous salaries. The lord chief justice gets $46,000, while the ordiaary justices of the court of appeals get $25,060 each per year. The chief justice of this country gets $10,500, jrhich is $500, more than the associate jostiees get. Trxbs are 697 blast furnaces in the United States with p yearly capacity of 6,500,000 tens of iron; 382 rolling mill* with an annual capacity x>f 4,000,000 tons; there are 11 Bessemer steel works with an annual capacity of 1.750.000 tens, aad 11,880 miscellaneous

Theroroduction of petroleum now exceeds 65.000 barrels par day and the stock in the pijp Itoee is over 9,600,000, and in spite of 4he fact that tankage capacity of 1,500,000 barrels te being constructed, it is probable that some of the oil moat run to waste.

that they seek under Great a selfish libera tion from aU political responsibilities, without deeming it and denouncing it as a most startling sign of the times. Our fathers taught that eternal vigilance was the price of libeety,frat this generation thinks so tightly of liberty, that wearies of vigilance,sneers at all precautions against its overthrow, and seeks 'rather to get rid of it as an incumbrance net worth the storage. Not one of the advocates or apologists of the third term ventures to give any assurances as to what will be done in 1884T 1 II Grant runs the party flown as rapidly as he did before, and as there in every reason to presume ko will agate, the strait wf the republican party wiH be no less in 1884 than it is to-dav.

Grant will be as necessary in 1884 as he u to-day, if nominated and elected. He will he teamqdeet to run again; oh, no, he won’t tekfi it but be will work for it, and if he can possibly get it by any effort he will not hesitate, so great will be his anxiety to prove to the country that there iano danger in electing a man even for a fourth term. There is a providence over America, but providence is not to be prSfinmed upon. God is no nearer to us than to France, which deemed the Bourbqp dynasty immortal, till it disappeared in the French revolution.
