Nothing has as yet been elected in regard to the
assassination of General Pat0ni eXcept the following
reply made to interrogatiOns put 60 the oicer who
arrested him and who commanded the ae OF SOL
dlers who performed the act OF shooting-that they
were acting In obedience to superior orders. IL Is
stated In one Of the Zacaecas papers that it was the
intention OF the in this nearous business to
assassinate General Gonzales Ortega the same day.
but by some accident departure OF the General
from his expected route the programme
carried out. The face and body ofeneral PatOni
said to have been so terribly dshgured by the shoot
ing that Ire was identified only by the initials his
linen. The feeling which prevails in this community
has not aDaed, and the result OF the investigation
OF the conduct Of General Cauto Is awaited with
anxiety.
1t will be remembered that Governor Gomez Cuer-
vo OF Jalisco has been under trial by Congress and
Usantp nj no fore yp
ing summarily few robbers and kidnappers in his
State. The final action OF the Supreme Court has
lately become known. While that body seemed In
cined to censure Governor Cuervo, yet 1t decided
that his case could not fall under their jurisdiction
and 80 far absolved him to reinstate him in the
Governorshp OF his State. Mr.. Vaarta, the Minister
OF 'Gobernacion, happened to be from the State OF
Jalisco and not to be the best OF terms with Gov
ernor Cuervo politically and socially and has natu-
rally looked for his punishment. He having been IN
effect absolved by the Supreme Court with exMlnis
ter Lerdo at its head, Mr. vallarta did not possibly
feel quite at homeor at least felt that he not
sustained in his opposition to Cuervo-and has,
therefore, resigned his seat In the Cabinet, he says
In his letter to the President, from certain motves

est sentences No person has yet been mentioned as
vallarta's probable successor.
The trial OF the so-called cOnspirators who were
accused Of attempting to take the life of President
Juarez some months since has terminated in acqut-
tai as the evidence proved insufficient. Two OF the
number, Tejador and DufOO have, however, been ex-
PEELED from the country as dangerous persons.
Colonel Meyer, formerly Of the United States vol
unteer army. and lately colonel OF Mexican army
who has been in prison many months, has finally
been turned out Of prison and fails to learn what
were the charges against him. As he finds himself
without command, his regiment having been given
to another officer he has rendered his resignation.
