its large debt, started lottery, selling 100000
tickets at S. each and offering 100000 in

Mr. Holman Of that city, who held the ticket
which drew 100000 A friend of his pur-
chased 100 tickets for distribution. Holman
was counted IN at the start, but when the dis

dispatch dated at PASSPORT, Sunday evening:
The schooner Bessie, from Hopewel, N. b.,

OF the customs department, Oh the charge OF
having raudulently landed six firkins OF but
ter. Deput, Collector Mutt gave cnase in The
steamer Belle Br WI, and captured the Bes-
Sic near indian Island, where she had put in
TO- the purpose OF landing the officer. She IS
fine craft, Of forty Tons Register, owned by
Alex. Layers, DR.. Moore and Capt. Bacon.
The chase vas short and exciting. after The
schooner found She was CHASED; aud il it had
not been Tor iOrty iatboms Of cable which She
out, she might have escaped. The captain
and crew were struck and kicked repeatedly,
by some Over-zealous volunteer officials.
The Telegraph thinks the inference strong
that the Captain violated the law, but blames
the Revenue offic' for seizing the vessel in
British waters, without shadow of legal for
mality. Fun ther information ON the subject
hpwever, may place the conduct OF Mr.. Mutt
and his aids IN different light.

FROM CUBA.-The Neao York Journal of
Commences Havana letter of the 25th ult.
contains the following: The storm of the 10Th
and 10th. although 6ercer than that of the
7th and Sth, was not so destructive to human
lite and property-not embracing any of the
chief centres OF population on the southern
coast or the interior OF the island, and but
few plantations and villages. The centre OF
the circles OF the last storm were east and
south OF the first, which was fortunate tor
the general industry of the country and the
lives OF the people. There has been an i'm
mense sacrifice by drowning and wind of cat
tie, sheep, hogs, and all classes Of poultry.
Our supplies are cut of. Eggs are 7 to g
cents each; plantains, our main stay for poor
and rich. 5 cents each (wou!d be in ordinary
times SIX to eight for 5 cents), and all the
necessarles of life in the same proportion,
with the exception OF rice, Goldfish, jerked
beef. and lard, which have also advanced in
price; but with increased stocks OF those ar
ticles we will not starve. Without such in
crease there must be much suffering.

A remarkable case of suspended animation
recently occurred at Washington, D. C. The
remains of young lady, sixteen years of age,
daughter of Capt. Frerrer. were found to be
quite lumber, after having been brought from
Maryland in a close coffin. By the all of a
gavanic battery pulse of five beats to the
minute was produced, but the doctor was
finally compelled to desist, on the sad conyic-
ton that all further attempts at resuscitation
would be fruiless. He was of opinion, how
ever, that had medical assistance been render
I'd at an earlier period, the lite OF the young
lady would have been saved.

Secretary Robson, who has returned from
Norfolk. where he has been speaking, is repre-
scented as saying that the disturbance which
CURED during the progress OF the Republican
meeting was riot similar TO the ole in New
Orleans few years ago, only on a smaller
scale. The attack was premeditattd and made
by ex- rebel soldiers, wearing police unilOf ms,
and intended solely to murder uDoffendiug
Republicans. The Secretary expresses sur
prise that the loss of life was not greater than
reported, as the firing was rapid and caused
the meeting to break up quickly. Secretary
Robson says he is tu1y convinced that the
spirit of he rebellion has not yet beea subdued,
and that the strong arm of the government

The New York papers tell OF young man
who, being the last one to leave Brooklyn
terry boat at a late hour in the evening, re-
Gently, discovered satchel and umbrella
which had been left behind in the ladies'
room. There were but three or four lad es in
the whole party. so the young man seized the
satchel and umbrella and hurried after the 10.
ceding passengers. Holding both articles
aloft, he hurredy questioned several people.
TO none of these belonged the property he
had taken possession Of After waitln ABOUT
the ferry hou some time, he took the cap
tured articles home. OF course he expected
that they would be speedily advertised, tor
the satchel, which was locked, and the UNI
brelra. were well worth some reward. But
uav after day passed-no advertisement az
peart d-and he obtained key and opened
the little bag, which contained $4,000 in GOV
eminent bonds (unre2istered), portmonnaie
holding 500 in currency, a splendid watch
and chain, a broken ring, gold thimbie, a
locket containing an elderly mans portrait
slip OF paper, and in female hand written
these words: II have waited and waited YOU
DO not come, and l have ceased to hope.-E
r." Upon marginal piece OF some foreign
newspaper was the name of hotel in New
York that does not exist. The Young man
consulted police headquarters, and he went
daily to the morgue for some female to come
ashore, but now nearly two months have gone
by and no trace OF the owner has been found.
II is orly by one OF three suggestions that
this mysterious satchel can be accounted for
Either murder, suicide or sudden insanity has
over'aken the unfortunate owner. In the
meantime the custodian OF the unexpected
fortune is half OUT OF his wits with the en-
barrassment tnat besets his pos ition.

SENATOR MoRRILL's HEALrH:-We COPY
the following from the Kennebec Journal in
relation to the health of our distinguished
Senator:
AS there has been many flying rumors on
the street IN regard to the condition oil Sena-
tor Morrill,, we have obtained from his attend
ing ply sician. DR.. J. B. Bell OF this city,
true statement OF his case. He has not been
very well at any time since his return from
Washington, and had in August last an at
tack similar to the present, which consists
chiefly in an inability OF the stomach to le-
tam any but the simplest nourishment, and
also to rise without nausea, combn ed OF
course witt more or less general debility. He
has been much better several times, when
slight errors of diet have produced Temporal
ry aggravation. He is now steadily improv-
ing. but forbidden by his physician to engage
himself with visitors or correspondence, or
an, thing that can ageravate the gastric dis
turbance. He will doubtless be fully well in
few weeks under this treatment.

TIE dismal scenes during the siege of
Strasburg, already described, would iill vol

mails advices. A wealthy merchant, on the
approach of the enemy, sent away his family,
but remained himself to care for his large
property. The most bulky articles he secur-
ed as well as he was able, and, taking ms
plate and Jewels to the cellar OF one OF ms
houses, he prepared that place as his strong
hold. He laid in provisions, and with one or
two trusty servants, shut himself in. For
eight days all went well on the ninth, shell
fell before the house, and he reireated to the
cellar. After few days, and while the mer-
chant was dining, horrible crash overhead
and the tumbling in OF the walls appraised him
that a huge shell bad blown the house to at
oms. Every avenue OF escape was cboked by
debris, and he was buried alive. Lighting
lamp, which he fortunately found unbroken,
he looked about him. Two of his attendants

q CoNsTIi UTIoSALITY OF THE REGISTRA-
TON LAW AFFIRMED-Judee Woodruff gave
decision in the United States circuit court
IN New York Wednesday, everything the de-
Murler 70 Inc indictment against Quinn,
registration repeater, and susta ming the con-
st'tutionality Of the new Congressional cleo
tlonal law. He discussed ony the 2Mh ser.
ton OF the act, which relates SOLELY IN tb.
matter OF registration, and docs nos touch
any OF the hu nefous questions which NAV
come up unOer other sectious OF this or ~ ha,
statutes. The Judge cites four points oI tha
Constitution, under which il is claimed that
Congress has the right to make and enforce
the law, and shows briefly that the claims are
well grounded, and the provisions OF the Sec
ton under which the Indictment is drawn
fully authorized by the Constitution. The
act does not affect the qualifications Of voters
required by the State laws OF New York. If
the State laws relating 10 lime, places and
manner of holding elections become impera-
tive, or honest elections under them impossi-
BILE, then Congress clearly has the right to en-
force such laws in relation to the election OF
representatives to Congress, and iiflict pen
altles for their violation. Judge Woodruff
sad be was not prepared to say that Congress
could moi legally make a national registration
raw to apply TO the whole United States.
