Foreign Rcsideatsin in Cuba.-Since the trial Of
Mr.. Thrasher, the Captain-G General has adopted
stlct policy Of treating all residents with letters
of fdomicil as Spanish subjects. Instructions have
been given to grant NO letters hereafter without
the oath Of fadjuration and allegiance mad person.
ally. Heretofore, for many years, domiciliafs
letters have been granted as a matter OF course
on the payment Of agents fees, and without the
personal attendance of the party, or the admin
istration of any oath. They could be taken out
for persons not on the Island. All this is ntw
changed, and the party seeking to reside and
transact business in Cuba, longer than three
months, must take the oaths and be treated as a
Spanish subject.

ONO, Jan. 9, 1852.

-, OuIo Jan. 9, 1852.
1t has been stated several times lately that
majority of the Congressional delegation from
this State are of the Democratic party; so that
if the presidential election were thrown into the
House, the vote of Ohio would be given to the
Democratic candidate. And generally, those
who are making calculations for 1852, set down
this State for the Democratic nominee. All this
is to be taken with some allowance.
Our delegation in Congress consists Of ten old
line Democrats, nine Wings, one Freesoil Demo-
crat, and one Freesoiler that was Whig. The
Freesol Democrat, DR.. Townsend, has shown by
his not voting for Mr.. Boyd, for speaker, that
his vote, and consequently the vote of Ohio in
the House Of Representatives, cannot be cast for
friend of the fugitive slave law. This is well,
for otherwise the State would be misrepresented.
DR.. Townsend was one of the most active MEN,
bers of our Legislature at the session when Mr.
Chase was elected to the United States Senate
These two men represent in Congress an impor-
tant part of the Ohio Democracy-thea anti-slave-
ry part-comprising many men who did not
vote for Mr.. Cass in 1s4s, and many more who
did, but never would again if he were nomiHa.
ted.
A great majority Of the Democratic party IN
Ohio are we'll known to be friends of freedom,
and opposed to the Infamous fugitive law; but
| speak now of those who not only feel so, but
are resolved to vote so upon all proper occasions.
These free democrats have been acting with the
Democratic party in its great State measures Of
constitutional reform and equal rights, upon
which the late election turned. They carried the
adoption of the new constitution by their votes
last summer, and this fall they swelled the par
ty majorities beyond all precedent. During the
last three years, they have been growing in nIni-
bers, and they are conscious of their strength.
They hold the "balance of power" in the State,
as DR.. Townsend does in the delegation at Wash
ington; and like his, their votes will nct be cast
for an avowed supporter of the fugitive law; they
will not support an enemy of freedom. ETA.

Wonderful operation.-An operation, says a
London paper, exciting more than usual interest
among the medical profession, was performed
lately, at Charingeross Hospital, by Mr.. Hancock,
the surgeon, in the presence Of a large assem-
'blage Of the leading members of the medical pro-
fession and students. The case was that of a
young woman from St. Albans, who, some nine
years ago, had her left arm amputated above the
elbow, but not long after which, however, the
part was affected by neuralgia, constant quiyer-
ing and shaking of the stump, rendering the girls
life perfect misery. Under the affection the
patient submitted to variety of treatment, but
from none did she derive any relief, and about ten
months ago entered Charington Hospital, where,
dftera period, an operation was performed on the
nerves of the stump and the patient was dis
charged, as it was imagined, cured. This, how
ever, did not prove to be the fact, and she re-
turned to the hospital, where an evening or two
since, under the influence of chloroform, she un-
derwent the operation of havingthe stump of the
arm removed from the socket, which was most
skillfully and scientifically performed by Mr.. Han
cock, not more than half minute being occupied
by that gentleman in its removal. Since the OPP
Grafton the patient has bcenprogressing WELL and
it is believed perfect cure has been achieved.

The daily comet. [volume] (Baton Rouge, La.) 1850-1856, 1852-09-14

Mr.. ED1ToR As long - you have
deemed proper in the wisdom Of your phil
osophy, to make the statement that ''tae
first dress worn by mother Eve is said to
have been bare stin," you would much
oblige the public by informing them who i
was that captured the hear, and what in
strument was used in his capture; also, in
what particular fashion mother Eve wore
her dress; whether in the shape Of tights, a
loose dress or Ia Nooner. If you feel at
lose, in the plenitude Of your antiquarian
and biblical lore to satisfy the public mind
in reference to this matter; please get the
assistance Of brother W, or some
other learned divine to help you out Of the
theological meshes in which you have suf-
fered yourself to become entansled; perhaps
it would be more satisfactory to the public
if you would consent to mount the stump or
prevail upon BROTHER, to 'oracnlate"
through the pulpit, with the view Of enter
ing into full explanation Of the whole
matter.
We did not say that bare skin was the
first dress worn by mother Eve, on our own
account it is taken from an exchange.
Who captured the bear and how? We can
not say. We presume the skin was worn
nc +;ohf as comnatible with ease Of motion
However, we will not hazard an opinion
until weeonsult the books.

BATON ROUGE .:::::::::::::::::::SEPT. ID. 1852.

wYesterday morning the wind Shifted
suddenly into north easter, and brought
with it as it came sweeping over the house
tops, the chilling blasts of winter. The
leaves begin to dangle from the tree-tops,
like spectres, and are bourn round the street
corners, in parties to dance awhile together
and then part company forever. The fam
liar coats of last winter, now find friends
to hug them, and the old negroes bask in
the sunshine and SILVER in anticipation Of
the coming frosts. Winter is upon us. The
planters would like the warm weather pro-
tracted, that the sugar cane might be ailttle
larger, but the juice must now ripen, and
the stalks fall before the reapers knife.

A Haunted House.

4 0duutCu n0uNG.
We desire all our skeptiea} friends
to look at the following. There are a
great many people in the world I'M
willing to believe in any thing hut the
value of dollars and their potent in
luence. As to haunted houses-and
spirits, and ghosts, they are deemed
to have no tangeable existence beyond
the fervered imagination Of the vision
ary. To such We commend the fol-
lowing law proceedings in the Queen
City, about house every body believe
ed to be haunted
On that great shopping thorough
fare-Fifth street--in the heart Of the
city, between Western row and John
street-,here is fine mcacrn-built
brick house of three stories, containing
store room and eight or ten other
large rooms Investig cation has deyel-
oped nothing remarkable in the con-
struction or appearance Of any portion
of the house, which is altogether a de-
sireablc residence. The property is
owned by widow lady-Mrs. War
feld-who some time since leased it
for a term Of years to Mr.. Wales !;
Mr.. Wal& soon after transferred his
lease to Mr.. James, and Mr.. James
lately sold it to Mr.. Carter. The lat
ter gntlemap occupied the store-roonl,
and a few days since. rented tue other
part Of the building toa Mr. Edwards
as a boarding house. Mr.. +. had
been in the house but few days-just
long enough to get comfortably fixed
when On Wednesday evening about
ten O'Clock a noise similar to the DIS
charge Of a pistol was heard in an up
per front room, but en- examination no
cause for the report could be ascertain
ed. Several elours afterwards, and
when the family ard boarders had re-
tired, succession of reports were
heard by all the inmates Of the house,
accompanied by loud screams from
room where were several young lady
boarders and a daughter Of Mr..
Edwards. Tne whole house was
aroused, and rushing in the direction
Of the noise, found the young ladies' in
the utmost trepidation from terror
They declared that the pistol shots
were made at their bedside, repeated
as from revolver, and they distinctly
saw flashes Of red light following each
report. Ono of the girls pale, and al
most sepseless from fright, alfred that
just at the moment of the sounds. tall
dark figure twice stopped over her pill
low. Such was the excited condition
of the whole family, that cots wee pre-
pared for all in one room and the re-
maiuder Of she night was passed i'll
company, but no further disturbance
was experienced.
On Thursday about noon another
sharp report was made in the kitchen
and for several hours during the day
a noise was heard 10 the dining room
resembling the paving Of a horse or Of
the morticing ola carpenter in heavy
timber. Q
The occupant, not inclined to pass
another night in manner so disagree
able and unable to retain his borders
there rented another house and moved
out on Thursday. A party Of persons
curious in such matters spent that night
there, but noises We heard.
