LOTTERY SWINDLES.
The Way It is Done.
New York, Nov. 24.-General Jubal Early, in a published letter, describes the method of cheating in lotteries. He says the usual method of cheating in single number lotteries is to issue tickets containing only one or two hundred of the numbers in each thousand from the highest to the lowest, say from one to one hundred thousand, and to leave those numbers out of those placed in the wheel, so that however fairly the actual drawing is made the ticket holder has no earthly chance, because the number representing his ticket has never gone into the wheel.
