The excitement OF the day and hour is the newly
discovered plot, which possibly threa tened the life
OF the republic and certainly the lives Of President
Juarez and the chief OF his Cabinet. About the
middle OF last week there were dark rumors pre-
valling OF threatening evil, and 1t was whispered
that on Tuesday night the troops and city police
were under arms, and special measures taken to
prevent any disturbance or revolutionary movement
from some source, but few, II any, knew what.
Sensatonalists declared that the non-payment
Of the army for six weeks had maddened
the troops, ana 1t was even said that assassi-
nation had been threatened Secretary OF Treasury
Romero because he could not pay-could not give
blood from stone. There we're smothered breathings
OF a misunderstanding between Governor Baz and
Minister Lerdo, arising, 1t said from the usur.
patton Of the former In substituting slate Of Con-
gressmen TO be elected In the city and neghborhood
friendly to himself and different from the slate pro-
vided and demanded by Lerdo. Romero says that the
''unpeasantness" resulting from this "change OF
by the Executivelwith whom the power rests OF
another Governor who should have no friends TO
put in high places. Those who gave currency to
this latter rumor seemed TO desire to have it under
stood that Governor Baz mad originated the kidnap
ping story by means Of his corps OF detectives for
the purpose OF alarming the EXECUTIVE and his Cabi
net, by impressing them with the Importance Of his
retaining the Governorship and the dangers to which
they might subject themselves II the charge was In.
sisted upon 1t is even said that the government
mad gone 80 far as to discuss the appointment
of General veez, Colonel Doria or Mr. Ferdinand
Soto, and that the developments which have been
made with reference to the plot have postponed pre-
sent action. Another rumor informs us that Negrete
has been secreted for some ttpe In the capital and
that he proposed last week to attempt revolution
here &c. How much there is In any or all Of these
reports may soon be developed. All denals to the
contrary Notwithstanding, your correspondent is
