Very Full of Gratitude. To the Editor of The Observer. Ueinfr now about to leave this State, through which I have been traveling for some months, I feel like leaving some thanks behind me, for the uni formily kind and considerate treatment I have met with from the good people of the erood Old North State. I have trav eled over much of this world, seen many people and many lands, but never in all my wanderings nave 1 met wicn a Kind er people, or seen more fertile land. And taking climate into consideration, I must say that Western North is the Garden of Paradise, compared with all others in that section-, I n.ot only met with the hospitality so universal in this good old State, that struck the first blow for independence in the struggle against Britain, but met with a progres sive, reuned ana intellectual people; a people who have a welcome tor all, and one, too, that comes direct from the heart, and one that goes out freely to all honest men. My main regret now is that I must now leave them, and should I ever more find mvself among them, I hope they will accord me the same welcome which they gave me while in your midst. Yours, &c., Prof. wm. Goodisox. AN IJIPOKTANT DECISION, la Wliicn Lotteries are Declared to be Subversive of Public morals. New York Tribune. The opinion given by Mr. Chief-Jus tice Waite in the Supreme Court of the United States, in the cass of Stone et aU plaintiffs in error, against the atate of Mississippi, covers substantially the question of the legality of lotteries, and must exercise an adverse influence upon the prosperity of those still in existence. It supplements the special statute or the united States which closes the mail against all correspondence respect' mg lottery business. Ane state or .Mis sissippi had authorized a lottery com Danv. known as "The Mississippi Edu cation and Manufacturing aid society," in 1867. In 1870 an act was passea to give effect to that clause of the State constitution wnicn proniDitstne licens ing of lotteries by the legislature. A suit was brought by the State to suppress the "Educational and Manuf acting aid society," and judgement of ouster was declared, gainst it. Upon appeal this was amrmea uy tne oupreuie vuuii; ul the'State ; and the case was then brought to 'the Supreme Court 6f the United States for review. I wa3 argued that when the State undertook to mate unr kwf Ql 3 lottery which had been estab Ushecl by law, it sought tq impair, in an unconstitutional way, tne vauuity 01 a contract. Mr. Chief Justice Waite, in giving the opinion of the court, took strong ground. He declared that the Legisla ture which granted the charter had no authority to bargain away.ior a certain percentage of the lottery profits to be paid over to it, the polioe power of the State in the regulation of the public morals. We have it now of record, as the opinion of our highest judicial tri bunal and court of last resort, tnai lot teries are demoralizing in tneir enects, are against public policy, ana are to do treat.! likfi other nuisances: they are a species of gambling; that they disturb tha nhpplrs and balances of a well-or dered society : th th,ey multiply the. cumulations others;H Qovernment, theohier justice nem, cauuui. uy uy law divpsr, itself of the uower to inter- ... " T ' , , , pose and to suppress wnatever mis provea noxious ana uuiTupuug. xma reserved right is based upon grounds of public policy and the duty of legislators to guard against whatever may be in jurious to society at large. When a lottery charter is granwju, iu i wna wic implied reservation that it may at any time ue aorogateu suuuih vto mu' good require it, ' . It ia aifflOulV to aee, after this decision, how any lottery company can have any standing in any court; how it can enforce its own cpnuatw wim parties who do not please to abide bv them; or now iu mu "uici sue or oe suea. x.veiv lutwcxj wx- poration in the country comea .ey tne Dan oi uiia i w have a ohegt f ull of charter fro nq State the ban of this decision, though, it may legislatures. Showld it oe successrui m the local courts, Us ppponents will have the best of it whenever iney am cuu trive to get into federal tribunals upon appeal. Indeed, we do not see how even these can ignore the law asvlaid down by the chief justice ; ana in oiaies in whicrtlotteries are forbidden by law, operations against them Will be greatly or this r Why should he be, when our moralists for neatly a. century ; nave been demonstrating that eambivng Ja sure to: ruin the credit, :the character, the materiai prosperity of those . who errg5rra itf' J Common people almost always speak of "playing in the lottery." KJainstinctively felt that such specu lations differ pnly in name and method from"fightrngtheitiger'-and 'risking money on the turn of cards and dice, or nuniber 01 Pcwatora auu '.living oA m 'peHjvWn yktf chdnte mSt waHhem from the ac tipon the rolling of a ball. What the Chief justice reattymeans is that lot teries entuil lporrerty' 'bankruptcy, in temperence family suffering ana pos isbly suicide. We nave now . the opinion of the Supreme Court and that of Mr. G. T. Beauregard respecting the legali ty of lotteries. We are inclined to be lieve that thfe former will be found the stronger 5n the long run. TAKING TUB CHHBTMVS. Interesting; and Important Sufge tions in Connection Therewith Baltimore Sun. In accordance with the requirements of the census act, the enumerators will begin their work on Tuesday, June 1, which is just a week off from next Tuesday. All the officers, whether in city or country, are required to-complete their inquiries and make their returns by the first of July; but in cities- no more than two weeks are allowed to the enumerators. It is believed that the work can. easily bedone within the specified time, and the more expedi tiously it is done the more accurate the enumeration ought to be. In Great Britain the census is taken in a single day, beginning just after midnight, and with such a large staff of officers as to complete the collection of returns with in twenty-fourieurs. This instant and simultaneous work,,)?,. believed to pre clude anything like tnednplications in the enumeration of inhabitants which, to some extent, impair the accuracy of. tne census returns, ana in tne ease 01 , our last census led to a re-enumeniiion in New York, Philadelphia and some. other places. The census law enacti d by the hut jongi ess was drawn in pan -under the direction of the superinten dent, General Walker, and differs in some respects from its predecessors. It i. :j -1 1 1 . A' 1 is intenueu 10 ue iuuei juiu mute ex plicit, and it provides for working up the details and statistics of eertain special industries by experts, acting in dependently of the regular enumera tors. 5ut the general worK 01 census- taking will still be done, as usual, by the enumerators, going from house to house, and filling up their tables from the facts furnished them by heads of families. People should think over the answers to be made, in order to have them as full and accurate as possible, and it will perhaps save time if each householder should make a memorandum, in advance, of the facts in connection with his family 1 1 1 1 r ana nis Dusiness, rememuering two things: First, that the enumerators are officers of the United States. authorized bv law to make the inquiries, and to compel all persons to give full and true answers; and, second, that the answers are confidential communications, not to be divulged to any one except the su perior officers in the central bureau, and consequently not to be used to any one's disadvantage or detriment in any possible way. The general census and the local tax system are as wide apart as ean be. The assessors seek to discov er property for purposes of taxation; the census takers are in pursuit of ac curate information, which will be valu able to every one, concerning our popu lation, resources and growth as a na tion. Census statistics are essential as a foundation for good and proper legis lation, and it should be every one's ef fort to help the enumerators to make them as lull ana correct as possiDie. vv e all of us want to know how strong we are, how healthy, what diseases most prevail in certain sections, how much we make, how much we spend, and what we save. We want to know what we produce, how large our crops are, if farmers ; how large our aggregate sales are, if merchants ; what is our relative growth in every material respectt as re gards any particular locality, as com-: pared with other places and with pre- vious enumerations. Every citigen has a valid interest in knowing the general results of American in dustry and labor, and how the property and population of the coun try in 1880 compares with the census returns of 1870. We want to know all about our crops; how much stock we have ; how many milch cows ; how the taxes we pay compare with our in comes ; what is the mental, physical and material condition of our people, and this can only be known in the aggregate by such a house-tphouae enumeration 0$ etcn, iumuy t anairs as wm ue uiaue in June. The enumerators will expect every head of a family to be ready to furnish them answers to questions, each set down in its appropriate column, as to the name, age, gex, color and place of birth o every one in each house ; whe ther married or single, their trade or oc cupation if married, whether married within the year; school attendance of ohildren; whether any in the family eannot Tead or write ; the relationship of the members of a family ; their men tal and physical health ; whether any have died within a year, -and if so, from what cause. In thj oountry, however, heads of f amines are expected to give j detailed particulars concerning the val-1 ue of their real and personal property, its incumbrances, and its products; quantity and value of different crops last year number and value of live stock, &o. The questions are close and searching, but they are necessary for the purposes of an intelligent govern ment anxious to look after th,e pest terests of the country, and we would re ppmmend every one to prepare himself m adyande, so as to be able to meet ev ery question with prompt, full and satisfactory answer, A Male Lead a Freight Train.
