PsGErSss Of DissCn!ent S.Sts IL the MEnds
A correspondent, writing from Matamoras, Mexico,
on the 7th inst, says:-
The news from the interior of Tamaupas is OF an
alarming character. II appears that the rebels are
nearly in possession of the whole State except
this place, CarmargO Meir, and TampicO. The fede-
raj forces have been defeated in the several encoun
ters that they have had with the rebels. small
force OF Vargas has intercepted the road between
Monterey rood We shall have in short time, say
the 10Th Of this month, general rising against the
government of Juarez, headed by the best and tried
chiefs OF the republic, in favor OF Porhrio Diaz
Commerce is reduced here to a mere cipher, and
now with the present prohibitve tarin, no one can
import leaving out the present distracted and unset
tied situation OF this frontier.
Yesterday the law was published in this city giving
kidnappcrs, robbers and revolutonists are outlaws
and are TO be shot on identification. This remedy is
very bad one, as it will bring many worthy fellow
TO an end, and will not cure the disease Never was
the country beset with longer train Of difficulties
than at present This same law will possibly cost
him his head az did that of the 3D. October 1863 the
head OF haNimian. These, as you viii perceive,
are desperate measures
by the stage Of last evening from Monterey we are
informed that party OF rebels entered town OF the
state OF New Leon called La Mota, Kidnapped two
three OF the principal citizens and, getting what
steaings they could, left with their prize. In Mon
erey they were getting up all the soldiers possible to
make defense.
Another question OF Importance to this frontier is
"IOna Libre," particular concession to this place
by the Juarcz Government, which is extremely pre-
judicial TO the United States and generally to Mex
ico persons within the limits OF the Zona pay
duties, and may, under present circumstances, get
their goods into the interior OF the country without
paying any legal duties whatever
It is destructive to Brownsville and the Texas side
OF the river as they are not able under the Lona To
import their effects the residents Of the Zona
Lbre, which is standing invitation for smugglers.
Another question is one OF horse and cattle stations,
which must sooner or later bring on conflict with
the United States. We want annexation and must
have it, there is no other hope for us, as under this
present Juarez faction we cannot possibly live
The Monitor, OF Mexico, complains OF exaggera-
tons having been made by your correspondent re-
specting the butcher EscObedo; but his assassna-
tions OF San Jacinto, VictOra, Jura, Linares, and
attery again in Linares in the person OF Spanard,
whom he ordered TO he taken from the hands OF a
tribunal OF justice and shot Immediately, and others
l could enumerate, are too well known to be denied.
The other points are admitted as facts.

KIDNAPPING.

White Child Carried on by Servant Girl.
From the ReOkttE Ioaca) Gate Cty May ~.
man named Mr. LuCius Lawton, a citizen of
Hamilton, together with other residents OF that
place, came to this city yesterday in search of a
young girl who had disappeared rather mysteriously
and altogether unceremonousy, at an early hour in
the morning, taking with her child of Mr. Lawtons
about one year old The girl had been employed by
Mr.. Lawton as servant. During the temporary
absence of Mrs Lawton, she collected together
several articles OF wearing apparel belonging to that
lady, tied them up into bundle, put in several pieces
of jewelry and some silver spoons, kidnapped the
child, and started for Keokuk. Soon after her
departure mad become know the enraged and almost
frantic father, assisted by several friends started
pursuit The girl was attired in such manner as to
attract attention. BY rigid search and close inquiry
she was traced to the abode OF colored family in
the third story OF one OF the brick buildings the
corner OF Sixth and Main streets. Immediately upon
her arrival in the city she secreed the stolen goods
somewhere on the evee. After her arrest she was
led, by means of threats to disclosure of their
whereabouts, and was escorted to the place, where
everything was recovered. The delighted father
took charge OF his child the girl handed to
the proI er authorities and the party returned to
Hamilton The girl won't, in all probability, 90 on
another kidnapping expedition very soon.

OBITUARY..
Rev. Alexander Dyce, B. A.

This well-known scholar died yesterday, we are
informed by cable telegram from London. He was
the son OF general in the service of the East India
Company and was born in Edinburgh on the 30th Of
June, 1898. After graduating from Exeter College,
oxford, he entered the Church and served curate
in several provincial towns until 1921 when he
moved to London. Here he engaged in literary
pursuits and became known as writer OF
merit. Among the earlist Of his works were
specimens of the British Poetesses" and one edi-
ton Of the poet Collins. At later date he edited,
with notes and biographies, the dramatic and
poetical works Of sevaral authors, including Beau
mont, Fletcher, and Marlowe. GitIords unfinished
edition OF Shirley was also completed by Dr. Dyce.
The work which established his reputation, however,
his edition of shakespeare" which was first
published in 1857, and was received with marked
favor by the press and public RecollectiOn of the
Table Talk OF Samuel Rogers, another OF his works.
is well known in the United States, where il has
been reprinted and largely circulated. At the time
OF his death Dr. Dyce was employed on translation
from the Greek of "Athen@us," and had just pub
lished new edition of shakespeare" Although not
brilliant writer the literary productions OF the de-
ceased were distinguished for the care and thought
bestowed upon every subject and for the clearness
with which each idea was expressed We may say
that in great measure the high reputation he pos
sessed rested upon the industry and jugdment which
enabled him to furnish correct biographies of early
writer's and to fairly determine the true test OF their
works DIR. Dyce was in the seventy-llrst year Of
his age.

SATURDAY, may Y, zoos.
The announcement that Secretary Boutwell, would
IN future, increase his sales OF gold to 100000 900
week. instead OF one, had potent effect on the gold
market yesterday, reducing the premium at time
during the day nearly per cent the average fall
was not less than per cent This fact alone is q
sufficient argument against the stupid policy of
boarding gold and at the same time paying per cent
for its use!
1t remains to be what will be the effect of
the sales OF $50 600 600 Of specie on the price of
our public securities. Many of the opponents Of Mr.
BOutwes policy Affect to believe that they will fail
in value with gold both here and abroad but il seems
TO be forgotten that our receipts for duties are fully
two millions week, and the accumulation of so
much treasure must be checked, or il will have a
very serious effect upon all financial and commercial
values Hence the announcement will be hailed
with public satisfaction
There IS no material change in the connie Yion of
the loan market. Money on call ranges from 5laT

Minister RaSSeII.

Minister Bassett, who is to represent us in IIayti,
yesterday had an interview with Assistant Secretary
of state Davis and was posted as to his duties
without receiving, however, any specific instructions
our Government has only one claim OF any account
against the laytien Government, and that is for the
repair of llayten vessel, amounting to something
like 100000. This claim Mr.. Bassett has been re-
quested to have settled as speedily possible Mr.
Bassett says the story that his appointment as Minis
ter to Hayti is not acceptable to the authorities Of
that country is not strictly correct. A few people
there, he says are dissatisfied, and they have for
some selfish purpose endeavored to make it appear
that the whole government OF Hayti would prefer a
white man TO be sent minister instead of gentle
man OF color. Mr.. Bassett stopped with George
Downing during his visit to the national capital.
