SLAVERY ABOLISHED IN NEW GRENADA.-The
recent law by which slavery is abolished through
out the Republic will go into effect on the lst of
next January. 1t provides that :" all persons
liberated shall be entitled to the same priv
leges, and governed by the same laws, as are
other citizens of New Grenada No slave under
forty-fve years shall be valued at greater sun
than one thousand six hundred reals if male
nor over one thousand two hundred reals if q
female; over forty five, the value of male slave
shall not exceed one thousand two hundred
reals, and female slave eight hundred reals,
which compensation is to be paid to the owners by
the government" The Bogota Gazette Official
says decree has been addressed to the Boards
Of Manumission, which specifies the manner in
which the provisions Of the above law shall be
carried out The slave, whose owner is not
capable of proving his right of ownership, shall
be liberated without farther legal proceedings
and the boards will have the authority to pro-
nounce his manumission. Owners of slaves,
who are to be emancipated from time to time,
will receive remuneration, TO be apportioned
from the funds appropriated by law for this
purpose. The price Of the slave must previ-
ously be ascertained by two appraisers-one
appointed by the board, and tho other by the
owner. The same journal says that loan has
been negotiated between the government and
Mr.. Theodore Moore, for the sum Of 625, ,OOC
francs, at o rate of interest of twelve per cent
per annum. We suppose this is to carry ou
the provisions of the law.

frequent discharges of guns towards sunset, on

the worst policy, as regards the comfort of
adults and little ones. The nighthawk and the
swallow are destroying the mosquitoes and
gnats by thousands, and yet these friends on
the wing are to be roasted for their good quail
ties and kind offices. But such is perverted
human nature; and until reason and justice
shall assume their proper sway, while some may

THE TWELFTH OF SEPTEMBER. Balti

IHE TWELFTH OF SEPTEMBER- bait-
more Patriot of yesterday says:
This is the anniversary of the battle of
North Point, where thirty seven years ago the
Defenders of Baltimore, commanded by General
Samuel Smith, achieved their memorable victory
over the British army, under command of Gem
eral Ross. The British army, in fleet of naval
vessels, ascended the Chesapeake bay, and the
army landed at North Point, where they were
met by the American forces, under the com
mand Of General Stricken, who had been de-
spatched by General Smith, with about two
thousand men, for the purpose of stopping their
progress to the city of Baltimore. In the skir
mish which here took place, General Ross was
killed. The British army, under command Of
Colonel Brooks, continued to advance, and a
battle, which lasted about an hour and twenty
minutes, took place. General Stricken then
retired with his force, to the entrenchments,
where General Smith was stationed with the
main army. Here Colonel Brooks exhausted
his skill to withdraw the American army from
the entrenchments, but failing in this, he wisely
retreated, and re embarked with his army at
North Point e
"The British naval force found it impossible
to pass Fort McHenry, and also retired. The
victory of the American army was signal and
decisive; and whilst the retreat Of the British
army gave great Joy to the people Of Baltimore,
it taught them that on the citizen soldiers they
might rely with perfect confidence for safety.
g This day, thus rendered memorable by the
triumph Of the American arms, and endeared
to every citizen of Baltimore by the successful
defence Of the city from the rayages of q hos
tile army, is our city holiday. The survivors
of the Defenders celebrate it, and the military
companies Of the city join with them. They
made splendid display to-day. 1t was graft
flying to see that so many Of the veterans still
survive to do honor to the day, and to recognise
in their firm step the sign Of good health, which
we trust will long continue to be their blessing,
and thus keep them among US to celebrate each
returning anniversary Of the Battle Of North
Point

The RIGHT KIND or A CoNsUL.-A Canadian
paper, commenting upon the late summary mas
sacre Of Americans in Havana, says that the
impression is prevalent that had British or
French man -of-war been lying in the harbor,
as was the United States sloop of war Albany,
and had British or French Consul been in the
city, such Wholesale massacre of British on
French subjects would not have taken place. II
then relates the following anecdote:
In 1920, two English sailors who had com
mitted a crime in Havana were about to be shot
They were clearly guilty, but the British Con
sui insisted that they should be tried. This tho
government refused The Consul demonstrated
and the Captain General became insolent. The
hour of execution came, and the Consul was on
the spot; he brought with him the consular
flag, the British "Union jack" but in vain
The officer on the plaza was about to proceed
in the execution of his duty The Consul find
ing all further remonstrance useless, placed
himself in front of the men, unfolded the Union
Jack, which he threw over the kneeling prison
ers, and said, " No,c shoot al that flag you dare!
They we're remanded to prison, and that nght
they escaped
1t is very natural that the most intense in.
dignation should be felt by the American peo-
pie against the present American Consul at
Havana, but if it should turn out that he only
acted according to the instruction of his Gov.
ernment, much of the opprobrium will be re-
moved from him. No doubt when Congress
assemblies an inquiry will be made as to whether
Consul Owens had special instructions from the
Government to act as he is reported to hav,
done.---N X Sun. Na
