TIE BENSON SUICIDE.
Minister Romero Very Much :HegretS
Its Occurrence.

A reporter of the REPUBLICAN having in
quired of Scnor Romero, the Mexican min
lister, what he thought Of Benson's suicide,
he said that he regretted very much the
occurrence and believed Il very rash and en-
tirely uncalled for. ''BensOn, once in Mex
ico." Senior Romero added, ''would have been
tried by jury which might possibly have
acquitted him, because the Meyicans far
from having, in fact, any ill-will against
Benson, could not help admring the in
genuity, adroitncss, and atdacity with
which he deceived them, and felt rather
kindly toward him.
A prominent Mexican gentleman, who
was in Washington on Monday last and
heard the decision on the Benson case read
at the Supreme Court, expressed the
opinion to Scnor Romero that the Mexican
Jury would acquit Benson. But even in case
IL would not have done so,n Scnor Romero
added, "Benson would, in all probability
have{been sentenced to n short term Of i'm
prisonment, and if he had behaved well in
The prison, he might have been pardOned long
before the expiration Of his sentence. The
McXicans,I ISenor Romero said, are not vim
dictive people, aud profess, on the contrary,
great admiration for any personal qualities,
even in swindlcrs, and he felt sure that all
their sympathics would have ueen engaged
in Benson's behalf had he been tried in
