How great portion of the readers Of the HERALD
whl interest themselves in Mexican news now that
exctements consequent upon a Presidential cam
paign being experienced it Is impossible for one
u this distance to judge correctly yet there must
still be very many late friends Of Mexico who will

The Monitor, of the l4th OF May, the paper which
0enounces the HERALD for stating that Mexico was
d not altogether peaceful says that during the pre-.
Zoiuca kidnapped BY bands which require ransom

On the 18th Of May Colonel Plata, who commanded
the troops guarding the roads south OF Mexico be-
tween P1alpan and Cuernavaca, pronounced against
the government and joined General Rivera. Captain

President Juarez had accordingly issued an order
declaring them to be desertefs and traitors, can
celed their commissions and ordered them captured

2O from Queretaro announces that the revolutfcnsts
there are getting stronger and the political situa-
tion more compcated-San Juan del Rio invaded,
and money and horses taken. The despatch fur
ther says that the protection Of the State requires
the speedy and effective interference Of the forces of
the general government, and should this not be
done the responsibility must rest where It belongs.

The series OF falsehoods which appeared In the
late German paper, In regard to Father Fisher, has
been toted to this country and, we regret to see,
translated and published in the Didrio ODicial. The
Infamous document Is so void Of truth and correct
ness that not even the prominent feature in his his
tory, his having been educated in the United
States at the University Of Virginia, is even men,
toned 1t Is a simple matter to explain the origin
OF the paper, when 1t ia known the number of Ger
man buffers and palace brokers, whose swindlngs
were SO frequently exposed by Father Fisher, and
who hope to forestall the truth and to save them
selves the disgrace Of being held up TO public shame
by adopting the military tactics Of attack. The clo
ven foot of German who swndled the late Maxi
milan is evident in this document.
The 'eo-called' Mexican Congress- which has now
been In session since last fall Is soon to close Its
arduous abors and will return to their homes to be

many a rostrum while they expound liberty and the
law, true elements in human government much
