Governor Nichols tills afternoon returned re-turned to the Houso without ap-iiroval ap-iiroval the now famous lottery bill, n his veto met cage, which Is of great length, he refers to his message at thu opening of thu session, antic!-irating antic!-irating tills legislation and urging urg-ing its Instant rejection for various reasons then set torth. I u his present pres-ent mesKige lie says that his views, heretofore expressed, not only remain re-main unchanged, lilt his conviction-, have- deeened and strengthened. strength-ened. The persistent efforts which have been made to represent Louisiana Louisi-ana as a taupcr, unable by nud through herowiilegitlmato resources to sustain aud carry out the duties of her statehood, are utterly without fnu ndation. The State and tlie different dif-ferent parishes of this State were never since the late war in better condition than they are today. They are marching forward to au era of assured prosperity. Suddenly the dark shadow of a deep disgrace Is thrown across their pathway, anil THE HONOIt OF LOUISIANA, maintained in the past on field and in council by tlie patriotism and valor ami sacrifices oj her sous, living liv-ing sud dead, is to Lc tarn!hcd forever, for-ever, her position among her sister Stales to l.' tested, not by what she has iWcu, but in the dust as tlie Ji-gencrate Ji-gencrate partner iu a gambling cor-luratiou, cor-luratiou, designed, organizes and to he carried out. not for her good or her advancement, but as I have lieforcrAld. foriersoual and selfish interests of men, many of them connected with the darkest days of the reconstruction period. I repeat, it is lor them and to them that we aru selling out our birthright for a mess of pottage. Who nru tlie six unnamed who are to join with a seventh and known one tn constitute a new lottery lot-tery tumjany? How comes it that wuatu not informed as to their identity and enabled to know their antecedents and fix their records? There is a world of meaning ill that silence. Iu thu most trilling atraira ut life men seek to knoawith whom they deal. How convex it that in a matter cf this importance thu general gen-eral assembly has been willing up to now to close it eyes aud move bliudly in the dark? I say to this general assembly, in all earnestness, that should this measure be pa-ed ue will enter iijion a i-f.i:ioi ik s-tkis-i: such as has never Iwti seen before In ljui-iann; upon an era of corruption cor-ruption anil degradation liesides-which liesides-which thcera of reconstruction will apiicar as onu of honor and happl-ne-s. And let m say lo you, that should this measure lie adopted and carried out, in my opinion no good will come of the money which wu will receivo as the jrice of our honor and our liberty; extra vagauce, proiligaey and corruption will assuredly as-suredly follow as night follows day. I believe at thu end of twenty-live years we will not only find constitutional consti-tutional luuds outstanding 'to the utmost limit of the funding law, but I believe that there will be an additional ad-ditional immense iuterest-bearing debt, which by that time will lie ack Howledgcd arid approved as to interest, but not as to capital, and that in there twenty-live years a vast amount of interest will have been piid out unnecessarily, improperly im-properly and illegally. In whose hands these interet-lieariug londs will l-e found time will decide. Iu twenty-five years there will be some claim of the poverty of Louisiana aud some claim on its behalf for tlie continued existence of the lottery. Governor Xichols concluded with a most urgent protest against this assumed condition of poverty in this State, aud says this measure will continue to meet his most determined deter-mined optu-itiou. Tlie bill was made the special order or-der for tomorrow afternoon! - A Female Counterfeiter. Pakkkkmil'ku, W.Va. July 7. Iu the federal court yesterday an indictment was returned against Mrs. Gertrude Ku.-sell, of l.awrenc County, Ohio, for counterfeiting. The cac Is notewortliy. Four months ago a large numler of counterfeit coun-terfeit S3) gold pieces had lieen nut in circulation in Huntington. The counterfeits were finally traced to Mrs. llussell. who is young, handsome, hand-some, and a memiwr of one of thu best fiinllies of Ohio. She was arrested, ar-rested, and when ordered to lie held at her preliminary bearing she fainted faint-ed In tlie courtroom. Tltccvidence against her is overwhelming. The makers of the coins are still un-known un-known and Mrs. IUiscIl refuses to make any disclosures. Ktilslitsor 1JU. Milwaukee, July 7. The Knights of Pythias of the United States are gathering here. Tbe streets are alive with uniformed men, and every train serves to swell the mass. The weather is Intensely hot, and the Pyftilan Knights, arrayed ar-rayed in sombre black aud buckled tight with accoutrements, present a picture of discomfort. Train Derailed. Monteno, III., July 7. A train of fourteen cars, bearing tlie Knights of Pythias from Southern Illinois for Milwaukee, waw derailed, except the four forward cars, by a misplaced switch this morning. Tlie rear portion of the train rar upou a siding, except tlie chair car occupied by the ICastSt. Louis contingent, con-tingent, which turned upon its side, aud the occupants, numbering fifty, were hurled "with great violence against the side of thu car. Ihe sudden stopping ot the train prevented pre-vented a long list of casualties. J. 11. Cowder, of Waco, Texas, was killed, and half a, dozen injured, none fatally.
