TIE FATE OF MEXIco. The n. o. Pic
ayunc, which is well informed in regard to
Mexican matters, gives its opinion of the
proposed "protcctorate" as follows:
of those who have favored this PROPOSE
ton, expect Mexico to place herself volun-
tarily under the guardianship of the United
States, they will, without doubt, be mista
ken. The Centralsts, embracing the party
of the Church, fear the presence of Amer
lean influence more than misrule and per-
pctual anarchy. TheLiberal party, though
not so hostile to the ideas peculiarly Anglo
American, have yet solf-reliance that rem
dors the proposition as distastcful, at leas
to their leaders, as to the public men ofanO
other class in Mexico. Vidaurri, thei
leader in Northern Mexico, is a man of in
telligcnce, of liberal views, and intenscl,
national. He has steadily rejected all prof
fcrs of assistance from Texas"
HoRnIBLE lMURDER-W see by tn,
Cincinnati papers of Thursday morning
that mos5 brutal murder was committee
in that cityon Saturday evening, in hous,
of ill-fame. Three young men visited TIL,
house early in the evening, and in yer,
short time after entering murdered one O
the inmates in most fiendish manner
The murderer is Charles Cook, son of
wealthy and highly respected citizen, but
like young Gouldy, he had plenty of none,
at command, and was idle, hence this issue
The Cincinnati Commercial says:
"Youpg Cook is about twenty-five year
of age, and although he has been furnish
ed with liberal education, he has neyo
pro6ted byit; but, on the contrary, he i
said to have positively refused attempting
any description of employment which nigh
place him in an independent and honorabl
position. 1t was natural that he shoul
fall into evil company, and this was anoth
er source of anxiety to his parents and fam
ily."
