DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

Washington, Aug. 8, 1913
Information has been received at this Depart
ment from RAMM LEON SANCHEZ, Esq, United
States Consul at Carthagena, New Grenada,
that, by law Of the Congress OF New Grena-
da, bearing date the oath Of April last, sane
toned by the Executive on the first of May
last, granting certain exemptions 10 the city Of
Carlhagena it is provided, that from the LIST
day of September, 1913, 10 the 3lst of August,
1853, all the wheat -four imported for the ex
press consumption Of the city shall be free of
importation and alcabala duty, which is equiva-
lent 10 ($4 S4) four dollars and eighty -four cents
per barrel less than that article pays at present,
which is SIS 20 per barrel
The same law provides that all vessels, TO-
reign and national, coming direct to the port of
Carthagena after the said lst of September,
lS43, and for the same period above stated, shall
be exempt from paying tonnage duty entry and
anchorage. All other port charges will be ex-
acted as heretofore.

SUBSCRIBERS in ARREARS.

We are grieved TO find upon an examination
of our books, that at least one half of our friends
have not RENTED US the money for the present
years subscription 10 the Madisonian. We
would respectfully intimate to our patrons that
by dint of no ordinary exertions, we have at
length succeeded in obtaining large list Of
subscribers, which enables us to labor with ten
fold efficiency when compared with former
period, but ~hich, Of necessity, imposes on as
additional heary expenses, that must olacays
be met NTH promptitude. We would also re-
mark that the greater the number of sub
scribers we have If they do not pay, the greater
must be our burdens and our losses SO that
those who swell our lis', If they do not pay,
rather cripple than assist US, for they increase
the expenses of the establishment without add
ing 10 It's income.
But We doubt not, nay we are quite sure, our
friends, the friends Of the Administration, OF
Republican principles, will generously respond TO
this appeal, by sending US the money for the
present years subscriptions by mail To each
individual subscriber IS or $40 may seem TO be
but trihing help 10 us-trihing to each OF
them it undoubtedly is-but only let US receive
such inconsiderable sums from seven or eight
thousand subscribers, and our condition will be
comfortable enough

THE CHocE.--A Quaker, residing at Paris, was
waited on by four workmen, in order to make their
compliments, and ask for their usual new years
gifts.
Well, my friend" said the Quaker, here are
your gifts choose fifteen francs the Biblen al
don't know how to read,n said the first ." so take
the fifteen francs"
q can read, said the second, " but have press
ing wants" He took the fifteen francs The third
also made the same choice. He now came TO the
fourth, lad about thirteen fourteen. The Qua
ker looked at him with air of goodness
Will you, too, take these three pieces which you
may obtain at any time by your labor and industry -
AS you say the book is good, will take IT, and
read it to my mother" replied the boy He took the
Bible, opened it and found between the leaves gold
piece of forty francs
The others hung down their heads, and the Quaker
told them he was sorry they had not made better
choice.

abusing the President worse than a pick pocket
in the Pennsylvania, thus molly defended the
President when his (Mr. Browns hopes were
not so much clouded as they are at present:
The Wing party, as il called itself, could not be-
lleve that the President could have conscience
ought to have one and therefore il that they at
tributed to him corrupt coalition with the Demo
Gratis, They could not believe that Democrats would
give HIM an honest support; but he would tell them
that, while the President sustained Democratic
sures, they would sustain him. For one he (Mr. B. }
would give the President honest and hearty sup
port IN all and every Democratic measure and he
believed he spoke the sentiment of every Democrat
on that floor. They would sustain the President as
long as he sustained their principles longer-iet
that Time be long short
"Let the President but go on in the path he had
set out upon and be true to himself he hoped in
God he would be, and he need not fear the
quences. He would find himself supported there and
ese,phsrs by the honest and true of the landry
those who had stood the honest and true of the
Republic IN days gone by In the noble stand he had
taken against the rapid strides of modern Federalism
to corruption and power, he had proved himself the
noblest Roman Of them ai and had laid the foundation
of a monument which, if finished Of the same ma
teral, would be more enduring than the Republic il
sef-lhat would last long public virtue, disin-
eresed PATRIOTISM sacred regard to the dictates OF
conscience, and moral courage, would be cherished
or approved"
We will summon new witnesses before the
public in our next.

THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVEN-
TON

We copy to-day the able article on the sub
Charleston Mercury, which we referred 10 on
Saturday. We ask for il calm perusal il
speaks for itself; and it certainly points out
clearly and truly the way to avoid all difficulties
in selecting the Republican candidate for the
Presidency. If its suggestions be adopted, the
Republican party will be successful in 1874,
without doubt. If they be not adopted, the
party, in all probability, will be ruined by the
contentious Of selfish and dishonest politicians.
We advocate the right Of the PEOPLE TO de-
| eide who shall be the Republican candidate
and we utterly repudiate all the tricks and de
vices of caucus pot-house politicians, 10 usurp
their authority.
In every Congressional District in the United
States, let the friends Of each of the candidates
for nomination run their candidate Let there
be a Van Buren,, Cass, Buchanan, Cal
houn, Johnson and Tyler candidate in each
Congressional District, and let the one receiv-
ing the highest number of votes be the delegate
from that District 10 the National Convention.
And when the Convention meets (next May,)
let each representative vote according TO the will
of those who elected him. If this course shall
be pursued, the candidate will be nominated and
elected by the PEOPLE, and not by the intriguing
politicians. And is not this mode perfectly fair?
Is it not just? Can any person suggest bet
ter pan7 We think not.
If this mode shall be adopted there eau be no
split in the party. Every candidate will cheer
fully submit to the decision Of such cunven-
ton
But we do not apprehend any opposition of
consequence to the mode suggested. The New
York Evening Post, which doubtless speaks the
sentiments Of MIR. Van Buren,, advocates the
District system and we believe all the other
candidates favor it.
WHO'S AFRAID TO TRUST THE PEOPLE Surely
the Globe and Richmond Enquirer will not op
pose the election Of Delegates to the Conven-
ton by the PEOPLE.

MR.. RITCHIE IN AFFLlCTION !!

hunter. and from which Mr. Richie culled arti-
cles for the edl6cation Of Virginia gentlemen,
has ceased. 1t has become defunct Public
opinion, even in the city of New York has re-
buked the political pander, who so unblushngly
proclaimed MS own venaily and tiffany. What
kennel will Mr.. Richie next drag to find enter

From The Harrisburg Enquirer and Signal.

The Globe is managing TO kick up a nice little
fight in the great Democratic party Of the Union,
and particularly with that portion OF it IN this State
attached to Mr. Buchanan.
That paper, after hypocritically pretending to be
playing fair but neutral game with the Democratic
candidates for the Presidency, until it discovered
that President Tyler would most likely out-dstance
all the rest and get into the Convention decidedly
ahead of any other one, threw of its disguise, and
exposed the cloven foot in weak, wishey-washey
article last week. in which it out for the Ex-
President Why did it not do so long ago. Why
play this game of fast and loose with the Democratic
party
How will it explain away now the deceitful pre-
tensions of neutrality with which il has long been de-
ceving the people, 1t will soon be a par with
the Uhion for treachery, inideity, and pusillani
nifty. Will the people of the United States counte-
nance such trckery by the great Mr.. Blair, who
aspires 10 be the oracle of the Democratic party of
the United States We trust the people will no
encourage doubledealing in the Globe, than in
that lesser satellite, the T" Union"

The Globe helps the notorious Bella Badger
TO abuse the President. Bella Badger is now on
the side of Mr.. Clay, Mr.. Bair's "od friend
and connexion by marriage" having deserted
the President for veioing Mr.. Claws Bank.
The Globe also denounces the President for
turning out Jonathan Roberts. No wonder the
President is abused for appointing Democrats
to office.
The Globe acknowledges Badgers "bribery"
and no doubt thinks there was merit in it, if we
may Judge from its own conduct in the cele-
brated Weaver case, aud its participation in
the "bribery and corruption" which cheated
General Jackson out Of the Presidency, and put
Adams in.

DEATH AT THE GAMING TABLE-SrNGULAR CIR
cUMsTAScE.-The German papers speak of singu-
lar circumstance which is about to give birth to law
suit. middle aged man was not long since playing
faro at Kocthen, in the principally of Anhalt He
had been playing for some time, when the card he
held won 1000 ducats The dealer handed over the
money, and inquired how he wished to continue the
game-but the man made reply. Repeating the
question: and receiving answer, he desired OF
the bystanders to if something not the matter
with the man. He did so, and the player was found
to be corpse The dead body taken away
and the dealer very coolly drew back his 900 ducats
saying that the game was synaagmatic contract
made between persons capable of fulfilling its condi.
ons and could not be supposed to hold good between
the living aud the dead. The heirs have claimed the
sum- and the matter has been referred to the tribu.
