Havana, Cuba, and then applied AT the CusOn-fouse
at Mobile for a register. He was informed that the
Collector had resigned, and that there no person
there who held could exercise that Office. Sanders

laws and the state of our political affairs; that the PEN
alties incurred innocenty, without any intent to
defraud the United States, or infringe Its laws.
