There is more truth than poetry in
what the New York Herald says concern
ing the high rate of interest paid by the
Government:
"One reason why we pay six per cent.
for cur money abroad is that we have
fallen into habit Of universal slander.
We degrade ourselves, defame our coun-
try, trife with our credit, call upon the
world to see what rascals and knayes
we are, and then marvel that the world
should take US ut our word and charge
US more for money than nations without
half OF our resources. We shall
strengthen our credit when we protect
our. self-respect."

LEXINGTON. KY.
The race for the Sheriffalty begins to
wax warm, but there is no doubt but
that Major Thomas will be reelected.
An interesting hymeneal event will
take place here in few days. The bigh
contracting parties are MIR. Jerome Fra
zer, son OF Mayor Frazer, and Miss
Young, daughter of Councilman John
Young.
The circumstance Of young woman
going to Charity Hospital about ten days
ago, where she was soon delivered OF a
child, and afterwards heartiessly de-
serted it, may yet be fresh in the minds
developed that the mother is young
lady residing with her father, very
wealthy farmer, near this city. 1t has
also transpired that the father of the
Wronged girl was about to enter suit
against a Lexington banker, who, 1t is
claimed by the girl, is her seducer. An
other banker is also to be brought down
in connection with the same affair. The
high-lite affair has caused no small sem
sation. The first estimate of the wrong
was $25000, but since we hear that a
compromise will be made, and the claim
will no doubt be reduced.

Two Notable Murders.

FRANKFORT, Y,April1.-At 8 o'clock
this morning Martin South, son Of ]. W.
South, lessee and keeper OF the Kentucky
Penitentiary, was assassinated at his stall
in the market. The assassin shot him
through crack in the building, aud was
within fifteen feet OF his victim at the
time. South died in five minutes. Wal
ter Stephens, prominent butcher, was
arrested and jailed for the murder on cir
cumstautial evidence. South was an en-
ergetic, quiet citizen.
Three persons have been arrested,
among them Walker Stephens, an old
citizen and butcher also. The friends
Of Stephens do not believe that he had
any completely in the affair. The town
is much excited.

ed 10 that Place TO Protect
American Residents.

GALvESToN, April la special to the
Galveston Ners from Brownsville, Texas,
Of the 1st, says: Night before last Mr..
Sustendal, an American citizen, aged
sixty years, was taken to fort in Mata.
moras, and placed on the top OF the par
pet wall. In the event the revolution
lists had made an attack, he would have
been nearly between two fires and certain'
" killed. About II o'clock at night
Consul Wilson went to General Labara
and demanded Sustendal's instant re-
lease, and the demand was complied with.
To-day orders were received from
Washington, at least so reported, and
Consul Wilson came to this bank. Very
soon the Rio Bravo steamed up, crossed
the river and made fast to the Mexican
bank. This was about 4 o'clock. Steam
launches are policing the river. Sound
ings have been made. 1t isreported that
the President has directed that foreign
residents Of Matamoras shall be protect
ed against the exactions and expressions
Of Mexican authorities. The foreign
residents Of Matamoras now in this place
are highly delighted, A goodly number
OF them live on the river bank. They
say General Labara will get no more
money except from Mexicans.
Late in the evening the gunboat
steamed up to the upper edge OF Mata-
moras and came to anchor. The expecta-
ton for brisk times on the other side is
great. The order above mentioned came
directly to Captain johnson, and directed
him 10 proceed Immediately TO Matamor-
as and assist the Consul in giving protec-
ton to American citizens. Two days
since deputation OF foreigners residing
in Matamoras waited upon Gen. Potter,
and requested him to take steps to pro-
tect them from outrage. The General
told them to send him q communication
in writing. The change in the programme
since has rendered that unnecessary. The
matter Of supplying General Labarra with
powder has been ventilated, but cannot
he given to the public yet. The blame is
not on Captain Johnson's shoulders. To-
day a surgeon was busy preparing ban
dages, lint, &c, for General Diaz's troops.
The movements Of the gunboat are said to
be worth 10000 men to the revolutionary
cause. The military are on the alert and
would be glad to take part should it be-
come necessary in defense Of our citizens.
A special to the Galveston Ntrs, from
Brownsville, April l, says: To-day the
naval force steamed up to be ready for
the protection OF American citizens in
Matamoras. Diaz is on the edge Of the
town, and an attack is expected.
