WASHINGTON Dec. "a, 1912.
To the Editor of the Madisonian:

To the Editor of the Madisonian:
SIR:-Havlng seen in your paper,
of Friday, an article taken from the
st. Louis Republican, in which the
people Of this country are invited to
emigrate to California, under the pre-
tehce that the Mexican Government
will give liberal grants of land to per-
sons who shall take the oath of allie
glance. and conform to the doctrines
Of the Roman Catholic faith, feel 1t
to be my duty to contradict such as
scrtion. and 10 state, for the informa-
t.sr Of those persons who may feel
DESTROYS of removing TO California
in that belief, that the Mexican Gov
eminent has never thought of colo
nizing the said territory with foreign
ers, and that so far from it, it has ex-
pressly provided by n law enacted
the nth Of March last, that no for
eigaer wiH eper be permitted to colon.
i=e, or purchase lands Or property in
the said country, mithouf an cypress
permission Of The Government of Meri.
co.
Knowing, as ] do. that no such
permission las ever been allowed to
any person. or corporation wha.ev-
er, and believing that the project sci
forth in the St. Louis Republican, is
u mere scheme of some land specula-
tors, who wish TO take advantage Of
the credulity of the ignsrant. | think
it proper to inform the public Of this
country. Of the true facts Of this new
plan ofcncroachment, lest they should
be deluded, and brought into Difficult.

OF their fortunes, and the distress d

Believing that you take a deep in.
terest in the welfare of your country
men. ] doubt not, sir, that you vii
readily insert this communication III
your valuable journal, for the purpose
of arresting the execution of a pro-
ieci totally destitute of any probable
~ Of success. and calculated only Il

who care not for the peace of nations
nor the happiness OF their kind. anc

BLooDY AFFRAr.-An affiay of
serious character came off yesterday
afternoon, on Chestnut street, near the
Post office. between Mr.. B. 8. Farr
and Mr.. Walker, formerly Of the firm
Of Walkers Kennel. The affair orr
ginated at a ball held a few evenings
since at Concert Hall, on which occa-
sion Mr.. Farr, in company with a
number Of gentlemen, went to the
managers TO procure tickets.-They
were all refused on the ground Of not
being subscribers; after some conver-
%sation. all retired, when Mr.. Walker
came out of the room and stated that
all the gentlemen who had ladies'
might enter the ball except Mr.. Farr.
Words passed between the parties,
and Mr.. F. Withdrew with his ladies.
Mr.. F. on the day following sent by
a gentleman. a note demanding an ex-
PLANTATION. which was placed in the
hands of Mr.. w. on Thursday evening
He refused 10 receiev this note com
ing from MI. F. on the ground that
he was no gentleman.
During the afternoon Of yesterday,
the parties met. and as near as we
ian learn, Mr.. Farr approached Mr..
Walker to assault him; the latter drew
one Of Colts revolving pistols; Farr
drew another; Walker fired, his ball
penet. ating the left brest of his antag-
lonist; Farr's pistol missed fire, and
he staggered from the effect Of the
wound he had received, and FELL
Walker and Mr.. Eustace, the COM
panion of Farr, then exchanged shots,
neither taking effect. Walker again
fred at Farr, who made an Intellectual
attempt to return il. Another actor
at this moment took part in the affair:
Mr.. Mckinley, a friend of Walker,
who fired a pistol at Eustace. Six
shots were fired in all, and the only
one which took effect was the first
shot fired by Walker. Farr was i'm
~mediately conveyed to his Office, and
the other parties were arrested
Walker was admitted to bail during
the afternoon, in the sum of 100000
Mitchell and Coke enter
ing into bonds as security for his fu-
ture appearance.
Fairs wound is in the left breast,
above the nipple, and the ball has 40
doubt penetrated the lungs, as consid-
J cradle h@morrhage ensued. causing
the patient to throw UP a quantity oil
blood. He remained, up TO the hour
Of our paper going to press, in a very
critical state, and but little hope is en-.
tertained Of his recovery. The
, affair, as may he expected, has,hrowr
the city into a perfect fever Of excite
iment.-St. Louis Ledger.

lowing note Of hand: SIN TIVE DAYS
after the demise of nv present wife,

ly after Mary received the above
note, she died, leaving it endorsed to
a female friend, who also CHANGED to

wife; however on her death-bed, she
also endorsed the note, and gave it to

Vol. III! No: IL.

Since the estimates were prepareo
at the several Departments, il has
been a~scertained that ths expsndt
lures for the fourth quarter Of the
present year will fall considerably
short OF the amount estimated: 10
that the. balance in the Treasury on
the LIST January next will be conside-
rably larger than estimated: but, as
the difference will become a charge
on the Treasury in the next year,'it
has not been deemed necessary to al
Ter the amount as first estimated.
The recommendations Of the Re-
port are confined TO that Of q further
provision for revenue and the sup
port of public credit, by taxation on
untaxed or lightly taxed articles OF
import, to produce an addition to the
present revenue OF three millions OF
dollars a year; nm authority 10 allow
interest on all Outstanding Treasury
notes, as under the issue thereof; and
the establishment of a warehousing
system.

The FIRST. the frst.-oh. noush, like it
Our sfer years can bring,
For summer hath no flowers so sweet
Al those o fearly spring.
The earliest storm that strips the tree
Still widest seems and worst,
whatc'er has been again may be,
But never as at first.
Fer many a bitter blast may blow
Der Iife's uncertain wave,
And many a thorny ,hicket grow
Between Us and the grave;
But darker still the spot appears
Where thunder clouds have burst
Upon our green and bligh,ed years
No griefis like the first.
Our first born joy--pcrhaps tvs vain,
Yet tina, brief lightning DER,
Thn heart, indeed, may hope again.
But can rejoice no more.
Life hath no glory to bes,ow
Like t--unfall lien, uncurscd;
There may be many an after glow,
Bot nothing like the FIRST. 81
The rays 81 hope may ligh. us on .- .r
Through manhood's tod and strife,
Bot never can they shine as shoae
The morning stars of life;
Though bright as summers rosy wreath.
Though long and fondly nursed.
Yet still they want the fearless faith
OF those that blest us FIRST.
Its 6rst lore, deep in memory

For that was early given and FREQ
Life,s wheat without the tares.

But yet no later love can keep
