THE LOTTERY SwINDLE AGAIN.-About
two months ago, we had occasion to expose
a set ofswindlers who were scattering through
out the South letters inviting people whom
they had never seen and whose names had
doubtless been taken from directories or news
papers, to send certain sums of money to
Washington B. johnson, Newield, Me.,"
and receive in return prize of ten times the
amount. The prize was represented as having
been already drawn by tickets enclosed to +he
destined dupes, who were requested to accept
the tickets privately, dating their letters be-
fore the alleged drawing, and to repay Mr.
johnson for his kindness by showing their
prizes and selling tickets in future schemes,
thus swelling his commissions as agent of the
Mutual Protective Union" The headquar-
tiers of the IN. P. u" were represented to be
at Wilmington, Me. The letters We're mailed
al Nashua, n. Ii.
We learn from yesterdays Argus that these
precious rascals are still at work, on plan es.
sentiaily unchanged. The IN. P. u" has be
come the "FrankGn Benefit Association
headquarters at Hartford, Me. Mr.. Washing
ton B. johnson is transformed into Sired. W

for word to his former efforts, and still mails
his letters from Nashua, N. II. According TIC
his card, Mr.. Hartman is Commissioner Of
Deeds for Maine, New Hampshire and Yer.
mont" and resides at Newfield, Me-, as before
Dupes, WHO are also little knaysh, are re.
quested under the present arrangement to
send their money to Hartford, Me. Parties
interested would do well to look there Tor Mr.
Hartman, at the earliest moment. A detec-
tive would probably find some lively game al

INSURANCE AGAINST ACCIDENTS. - The
disaster that occurred Wednesday, should serve
as caution to every one to be insured
against accidents, for they come unexpected.
In our columns this morning will be found an
advertisement of the United States Accident
Insurance Company of Syracuse, New York.
This Company is characterized by some fea-
lures different from those of other companies.
The principal one is the issuing Of bonds by
which insurance against death by accident is
effected for terms of three, five or ten years,
at a trifing cost for premium. These bonds
are handsomely got up, being engraved by the
New York National Bank Note Co. The
Company also issue policies insuring against
death, with a weekly compensation, and poll
cies insuring against disabling injury.
The character and standing of the Compa-
ny are well vouched for and its soundness and
stability placed beyond question by the certii-
cate of the State Insurance Commissioner of
New York, and by the well known reputation
of the gentlemen who manage its Affairs
The small sum required to obtain an insur-
ance against accident, should induce every
one to secure policy for the benefit of his
family.
Messrs. Loring, Stackpole 6 Co., Office No.
1T Commercial Street, are general agents for
the State of Maine. They are also Agents for
several of the best Fire and Marine offices in
the Union. 400 49, -tts er1 3-eA5

wards who for twenty-five years has been most
popular and successful teacher of music in
this city, and, for the same period, organist of
High and State street churches, left yesterday
for his new home at Natick, Mass. The Vet
eran Gunner Association and Portland Pro-
pellor Club, of which he was member, gave
him supper at Partington's saloon Wednes-
day evening. After partaking of the luxuries
set before them by the excellent carterer, L.
B. Smith, Esq, in behalf of the Club, present
ed Mr.. Edwards with handsome manure
fork, remarking that as in the profession OF
music Mr.. E. had had such good experience
and success with the tuning fork. his friends
deemed it advisable and proper to present him
with another kind of fork which he would
find equally necessary, and with the use OF
which he would be full as successful, in his
new profession of agriculture. Mr.. E. re-
sponded in handsome terms, thanking the
members for their consideration, and promis-
ing to use the implement to the best of his
abilities.
After songs and sentiments from the MEM
ters Of the Association, the meeting broke up
about midnight, each member expressing his
heartie< wishes for the health and prosperity
of their comrade who was SO soon to leave
them.

BB-" Should the people feel" says yester-
days Star, "that the ministerial office of the
President was converted into throne from
which hard edicts &c forth without sympathy
with the representatives of their choice, it will
be state of things so unheard-ofand so anti
republican, that the nation from one end to
tbs other will record its rebuke of satch radical
ism, Ii this issae had been fairly made up in
Connecticut, or If 1t shall be made in Maine
mud Indiana, let not the men who were swept
into shameful defeat these last few years, fiat
ter themselves that American manhood has
died out in the land, and that they can rise to
ed to work" Such words as these are timely
There win be no breaking up Of the Republi-
can party. If the President goes over to the
oopperhead camp, he will go with only corpo-
rai's guard of deserters for escort. The sooner
that is understood, the better for all concerned.

BALTIMORE, Apf1l 4.
The statement that the President had d.
rected the release of the bail in the case of
Bradley T. johnson, arrested by the U. 5.
Marshal short time since, proves to be erro-
neous The facts in the case are these:
"After the arrest on the 9th ult., and re-
lease upon bail entered under protest, Mr.
johnson went to Washington and exhibited
his parole and pass to Gen. Grant. The latter,
under the impression that johnson, under the
terms of the parole was exempt from civil ar
rest. wrote letter containing his views, to the
President, and urged him to take action in the
case. with view to the release OF johnson.
