RECEPTION oy MADAME JUAREZ AT VERA
CRUZ.
The Fourth of July at the Capital.
[flprreppondenee of the New York Herald.]
VituA Clitrz, July 15, If9i7.—The United States
revenue cutter Wilderness arrived here last
evening at ten P. M., and although she had been
expected for forty-eight hours, and the citizens
had awaited some time her arrival in order to
pay a proper respect to Madame Juarez, there
was yet on the landing place a large crowd of
people, who dispersed on being informed that
the Madame and her party would not arrive on
shore until this morninws
The Wilderness left New Orleans at half-past
eleven A. M., on Wednesday, the 10th of July,
and coming to her anchorage here at 10 o'clock
last evening, made a good trip. Nothing of note
occurred during the voyage. The weather was
fine. The cutter returns immediately this morn
ing, and we have but a moment to write.
At seven o'clock A. M.; a committee of citizens
waited upon the party on the cutter, and an
nounced that the people were anxiously waiting
to receive the party and pay such tokens of respect
as they considered becoming. Your correspon
dent was among the party, and• on arrival on
board, finding the party at
• breakfast. at the re
quest of the party joined in the hasty meal. the
cutter in the meantime being surrounded by
myriads' O small_ boats, tastefully decorated, and
bearing the Mexican flag of red, white and green.
At this moment the landing place was densely
crowded with people, carrying banners and all
manner of fireworks, arrayed in their most gor
geous apparel.
Soon the part} - passed to the small boats, under
the immediate direction, and .supervision of, the
Captain of the Port,aud proceeded to the landing
place, accompanied by a fleet of small boats, and
landed upon the soil of republican Mexico, amid
the lousiest acclaim, rims, fireworks and the
booming of cannon trona Fort Conception. At
the cutter the rims, "La republic:l, de los &ga
do:, Unidos del Norte." "La republic,. Mexicana."
coltltllinghd, and at the landing' Viva la senora
expo: a. del I'l:Fidel/ . "Viva neustro
el. rite, - "VI), a la Libertad," "Viva la Republica."
The distinguimhed party .were then seated' in
two of the cite street cars. which were drawn
through the cciv by the crowd until they had
.
reachsd the residence of Senor Don Pasquera,
where they were w ok - Cried by their immediate
friends privately, and sat down to a well pre
pared t•reilkthi.t.
The grand ovation and.,illumination will pro
titheOaCC till-) evening:.
The party express themselves. highly pleased
with the polite attentions of Capt.Freema mot the
'Wilderness, and_ hisiissociate_ollicers,afid ;41)Pre
elate the compliment which the Government in
tended. The party are expected to start for the
city of Mexico in a day or so, and any news of
importance will be communicated relative to
their trip.
We are having rumors relative to them probable
course to be adopted by the republican govern
ment. It is more than hinted that no minister or
consul now in the country will be recogniZed ex
cept those of the United States, and the French,
Austrian. Belgian and. English consuls and minis
ters are hourly expecting the issue of such de
crees as will compel them to retire to their homes
ice inStructions.
.IVe have nisei rumors of an extra levy of cus
tom-house duties to the amount of 2, per cent.
I on all goomLAin store or warehoused.
There is no, doubt that Juarez will be' almost
unanimously nominated as President. and it is
highly proper that - the compliineut should be ex
tended to hint, as in-the case of Mr. Lincoln's
i-econd term.
We are momentarily expecting the arrival of
the Spanish steamer from Sisal, bringing us posi
tive news as to the disposition of Santa Anna.
Celebration Of the FOurth of July In
• :Mexico City.
CITY OF MEND", July f+, ISo7.—The Corrisul of
the United States, through the newspapers of the
city, invited American citizens to appear at the
Consulate, which would be open at three o'clock
on the Fourth of - July, and the Declaration of In
dependence read at six o'clock'. The day dawned
hrilliantly upon our national flag floating over the
CC)I1111's residence, and the . flag of Mexico
waving in cordial re-ponse over the 'Palace and
other public edifices. 'This was intended by
the political chief, D. Juan Josti Baz, as a
mark of especial recognition and respect to
a sitter republic after the rude shock given to
)le , l , :ico by the European Powers. Many citizens
called between three and six o'clock at the Con
sulate. did the honors and retired, in preparation
for the ?Nerious work of the evening. At six the
Declaration was read by. the Consul to about
siNty persons assembled to hear that grand
charter of liberty, which only those who on a
iniihor occasion in a foreign land have listened
can sully appreciate in its depth of tone and
solemn enunciation. Front the Declaration the
company were ushered into a large saloon, fes
tooned with the United States flags, where a
b: udsonie supper was preseuteid. As the viands
and the skirmishers Ole- boikks) ffnsappaarea,:r
spirits rose, and everything was now
ready Tor the regular toasts and the
speeches, without which an American in no
part of the' inhabitable globe can -convince.
himself that he is a patriot or persuade others
into a participation of such inalienable conviction.
Washington, the constitution-, toasts and wine
were duly drunk, excepting
itthe memory of Mr.
Jefferson—whether becauseis not "the thing"
now to remember him. or because in listening to
the Declaration enough honor had been paid to
the philosopher who reasoned into thought and
language the feelings of our forefathers, nobody
stopped to ask. The feast now' began to grow
`fast and furious." Judge Frederic Half, front
California, spoke as only he 'mows bow to speak
—harmony and all our dissensions "deep in the
bosom of the ocean buried," formed the web and
woof of his:discoufse—and after a charming little
oration he sat down amid thundering . applause.
He had accomplished the en and aim of eloquence
—everybody was satisfied.
The next orator was the ex-Governor of Missouri
during the "confederacy." The stores of ancient
learning were brought forth. Xenophon and the
retreat of the ten thousand offered a happy
comparison, the gentleman convinced the
company, to the Legion of Honor then partak
ing with their countrymen of the Consuls hos
pitality. The ten thousand retreated, but the
Legion did not. Both suffered in a foreign cause.
In their efforts to.establish the principles of re
publicanism, history repeats itself. Xenophon
penetrated into the heart of Persia, and
the Legion, with its Colonel Green, to the
capital- of Mexico. The similarity, all preSent
discovered, consisted in the very points of differ
ence, and the gentlemen who were made the sub
)tet of the orator's remarks felt deeply grateful.
The Legion of Honor, by the way, is composed
of as fine a set of men of the same number as we
have ever seen, and their officers merit teapecr
for their behavior and moderation under the
most trying circumstances: We only- trust that
they may not leave Mexico with the opportunity
of confirming the old proverb, "Republics are
always ungrateful."
- Majorlarkt-formerlrtot-Marylanffi-slate-of
Texas, and an emigrei on the general breakup,at
the South, said: He hail held out a long time; a.
year ago be was not present at the celebration of
the Fourth; he had now, however, changed the
feelings that' kept him away, and was glad to,-meetials.-countrymen-under--the-old-fiag.he
Major's speech; which told all that 'left was
thought, but ne'er snweiloxpressed," .went like
an electric shock to the heart of every honest
man loresent. Continued shouts aim visas echoed
the feelings of the company, and We for one
thanked God that the hateful distinctions of
North and South were trampled under foot.
The Austrian band sent by Gen. Diaz, brother .
of General Porfirio - Diaz, lent- its music to give
higher grace to this happy moment, and the en
thusiasm, broke 'out- anew, toasts- followed,
glasses multiplied.

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1867.
The Consul'spoke upon the remarks of Goter
nor Reynolds. He too had a' Legion of Honor,
who though not known in the field of battle, had
gone through a period equally as trying. During
the seige and tyranny of. Alfaquez the flag
which then waved over us had been protected
from insult by the guard of Americans kept at the
Consulate. • 'fo them honor was due,. for he had
proved than and found them to be good men and
true. Ile drank to that Legion of Hondr, and
was seconded heartily by the guests in three
rounds, and what we heard somebody call most
unexpectedly a "tiger," which expression shouted
out in a rapid stentorian voice, startled us ex-.
tremely for an in. tint. As Mtirquez had been re
peatedly graced with that epithet, we thought he
might have taken advantage of "the flow oaf soul"
to claim the protection of the Consulate from
those who were seeking him with the eagerness
that only hatred knows.
General Diaz's health was drunk with, the
honors; Mexico toasted and answered for by a
Mexican officer, who concluded to go out in
verse of short measure and infinite utterance.
Meanwhile the Austrian band discoursed sweet
music and harmony. These poor fellows have
taken service with General Diaz's brother, for
they have breathed the air of America, and how
ever turbulent, it is preferable to the sluggish at
mosphere of Austrian rule.
Rockets and other fireworks on the Azotca ri
valled the lights and stars in the hall below, and
the quick report of champagne corks told the
progress of the feast.- Lights begtm to mark the
waning night, and the Consuls' guests, highly
gratified withtheir entertainment, no longer
wished to trespass upon the kindness of Mr.
Otterburg and his patience after the fatigues of
the day spent for their reception. All retired at
twelte o'clock, leaving lorthe morrow the plea
sant recollections of another Fourth, come and
gone, over a united land and powerful republic,
such as would have appalled the' fathers 'of '76
even in the conception. ,

[Prom the Boston Poet.) •
BEt.i.t)NN't.'`FALis (Vt.), July 24.—The staid, so- '
A ber and serious denizens among the green hills of
Vermont, where a portfolio of crime or a chapter '
of murder is seldom opened, were, on Tnesday
morning last, startled and surprised at the an-
nouneement, embodied in the brief and hurried
particulars of one of ,the most brutal, atrocious
and cold-blooded murders ever perpetrated in
the State.
The scene of this most horrible and unpro
voked tragedy was near Weathersfield, one of the
most quiet, and enterprising little villages in the
whole State, and only a few miles from Windsor,
where the State Prison is located.
l_Tp to this writing (Wednesday night) the
excitement created by this foul murder is most
intense, extending not only over the whole
county in which the deed was committed, but
throughout the entire State, and all through the
immediate counties of New Hampshire. So in
tense is the excitement that it is almost impossi
ble fodyour reporter to winnow out of the con
fused massif particulars anything like a full and
connected account of the horrid deed. Every
body seems to be .astounded. Neighbors, eiti r
zens and officials are entirely nonplussed. Mar
der-r.a crime almost entirely unknown iu this
sober and exemplary Commouwealth---nerves its,
bloody perpetrators to deeds most foul, and here,
among, a serious, Christian people, writes one of
the most tragic chapters to be found within the
whole range of criminal story in America.
On Monday night lust, or rather about three
o'clock Tuesday morning, as the evidence indi
cates, a Frenchman by the name of Williams,
who had been employed as a farmhand by Mr.
Gill Gowing up to the ist of June last, and who,
on making a settlement with Mr. Gowiug had
some dispute in regard to wages, threatening at
the-time-to-l*t_even,lAcalled at the_ resideuce.of
Mr. Gowing, and after arousing the houseWd7
and' giving his name as that of a neighbor (Mr.
Hitchcock), inquired for Mr. Gowing,
saying that
the cattle were in his corn-field, and he had bet
ter get up immediately. Mr. Gowing arose, 'and
--wentdirectly-to.the-doorrand_on_opeeing.it.mns
felled to the floor by a leverin the hands of his
murderer.. This done, Williams, went to a par
ticular corner of the house where Mr: Gowing'
was in the habit of keeping his working. tools,
andgot an axe, with which he returned, and with
one blow split open the head of 'his victim, driv
ing the. axe some distance into the door. .
The confusion Incident to the murder had
aroused Mr. Gowing's wife, who was sleeping in
An adjacent room. Hearing her screams, the
m.urdererentered.her apartment and with the axe
yet dilpping blood of his first )40.0.61!
OUR . WHOLE COUNTRY.
struck the defenceless woman in the neck, nearly
severing her head from her body; This done, he
espied an innocent little Mid, apparently asleep,
in a trundle bed. The Send carefully shoved the
trundle under the bedwhere the dead mother was
lying, and then proceeded to make his search for
treasure.
Tie first split open a bureau in the bedroom,
the blows of his murderous axe leaving blood
stains and clotted hair wherever it fell. Finding
no treasure here, he proceeded to ransack other
localities of the house, : prosecuting his search
for nearly half an hour after the last murder.
During all this time the little child, a girl some
thirteen years, instead of screaming as she heard
the dying agonies of her father and the last
prayerful pleadings of her mother, feigned to be,
asleep, with the sheet drawn closely around
her head, she INV unmolested by the heartless
murderer of her parents. Besmeared with the
blood of his two victims, Williams now left the
house, his search for money being unsuccessful,
notwithstanding there was between five and six
hundred dollars concealed in the bed where the
murdered woman was lying. After leaving the
scene of his double murder, he quietly proceeded
to the house. of a neighbor only half a mile
distant, td engaged to work through haying.
After remaining in the hay-field for some two
or three hours he asserted that hewas quite un
well, and quitting the field, started for Windsor,
evidently with the intention of making his escape
by rail. On the road to Windsor he was over
taken by a,gentleman in a carriage who gave him
a ride. The news of the murder had preceded
him, and.the evidence of the little girl.who recog
nizud Williams by his \ I 9ICC. led to his arrest di
rectly after his arriv6.l at Windsor. When
taken into custody he feigned to be surprised,
but at the same time was greatly agitated and
nervous, betraying all the premonitory evidence
of 4. conscience-stricken „offender. .
He was taken to prison,and as soon as possible •
a hearing was had and he was fully committed.
The news of the terrible tragedy spread like
wildfire,and before steps could be taken to secure
au inquest the quiet homestead of the murdered
wifeand hMband, father and mother, - was visited
by thousands of people. The village of Clare;-
intuit, N. H.. being nearly deserted, business was
kupended and every - available conveyance pressed
into service to carry the anxiousond curious to
the bloody scene.

A Strange Incident Among-
„rants.
(From the lilwalikee j
On Sunday a steamboat load of Norwegian im
migrants arrived in this city, fresh from the
laderiondt avant the sea. Attending the arrival
of these people there are always incidents which
are worthy of a., passing notice. The arrival of
those on Sunday was no exception.
..:11.1.10Dg the immigrants was a Norwegian who
was accompanied by two children, one about 12;
the other abouilli years of age. The man'had
come offwith his little ones to seek a home in.
Minnesota. On the dock there were gathered a
number of Norwegians who had lived here for a.
ntinitx4l of years ' and Who were ready to e xtend
A welcome to those just seeking the shore.
Among these was a woman who stood
near the dock. She appeared to take
lit A Interest in the people as they
came out from the, boat, and the bustle
attendant upon seeking for baggage and having
it properly chequed to their new homes. Yet
she cheerfully gave advice when it was asked for.
She gave a glance at the immigrants as they .
came forth-gftst a glance to see it she knew the
parties, and would then turn away. She had
evidently satisfied her curiosity, and was about
to turn away and go up South Water street,
when her attention seemed riveted to the stranger
and the two children spoken of. From a glance
the look changed to one of earnestness, for a
moment, when she gave a slight scream as it of
• astonishment, and sprang forward. Grasping
one of the children in her arms, she hugged it
to her bosom and kissed it many times, and
the second one she treated in the same manlier.
The children were surprised and began to cry.
The woman tried to dry their tears and' sobbed
herself the while. Meanwhile the father of the
children was attracted to the spot by the scene.

appeared very much abashed, but hung her head

Sew : momenta . the :mim, . jeadiug, the children
one :iy each 1ntud......- , took them to one
corner of the shed , which protects the
immigrants from the' sun, and . beckoned
the woman to follow. She appeared to do so not
only willingly but earnestly. In that corner the
men and woman were engaged in earnest con
versation for some moments,. and when they
same forth, the woman had dried up, her tears
and a smile had taken their place; the man, too,
seemed happier than when he went forth. He
searched around among his baggage, selecting it
out and giving directions as to where it was to go
with as happy a manlier as if lie had just found a
fortune. The woman stood oil one side,' but she
clung to the children as if she felt . afraid they
would be 'separated from her. Naturally inter
ested in what, was going ou, we inquired of
our friend Paul Mondean, who was
making himself useful in getting the Immigrants
fixed out,-and Paul soon tound the story. The
woman was the wife of the Norwegian and the
mother of the two children. Some years before
she had been led to leave her home and her hus
band and her-babies and fly with ' a stranger to
this country. The new life soon lost its charms
for her, and she wits left alone to toil on. She
supported herself here in the city by hard labor,
and lived on, hoping, she hardly knew for what.
Many bitter tears she had shed for her
children, whom she did not believe she
would ever meet again. Sunday morning she
"learned that a load of Norwegians was to come
in, and she went down to the boat hoping; yet
scarcely expecting, to meet somebody who could
bring news of her husband and little one?;. In
stead, she met them. The husband was not loth
to forget and forgive-the woman was very
anxious to be forgiven, and the hearts which but .
a few hours before had been Riled with sadness
were now made happy. The train which went
-to Minnesota last evening took the . party,
husband, wife and children, and a merry little
party it was to all appearances. We do not

Admiral rarrairui.
The warm welcome extended to Admiral Far
gutTri-PiTriS
him en the piazzfr of Stetson's, at Long Branch.
On a pleasant summer afternoon Admiral Far
ragut and lady came and took a seat alongside,
• and .the conversation turned on the conduct of
_the_w_ar,___3lte...MlPirol ..In regard to the exploit
of running; the rebel forts on the — MliilisipPF,
said that the feat, if it was one, grew out of a re
461idion he formed many years ago, to-get al
most as near his foe as he could, wheth,r it was
a ship or a rock. Times were dark. We had
been beaten on all sides. The country was under
'a cloud. It wanted a victory. Communication
with the fleet below the fort was demanded. It
was death- to allow things to.remain as they
wore. 'lt was only death if he did not succeed.
41e thought all, the boats could have followed hint
thoy Would-;-none did. Even the vessel
lashed to his would have turned back if it could
have got clear.
The Admiral said he' wed his success hi life to
a resolution he early made in life, and to his
habits and the company he kept. His father was
in the navy: President Jefferson - sent him to
NeW Orleans to look after the treason of Burr.
The Admiral entered, under his father. when he
was eleven years old. Ile had all the vices corn
iron to rniaithipmen, which vices were looked
upon often as accomplishments. -Ile drank, he
swore, he went Into gay company, he smoked,
had expensive habits, and was decidedly' fast.
Few men that had those vices ever rose to emi
nence in their profession. Farragut resolved to
rise, and he resolved to cut off all habits and so-.
eiety that hindered success. In a day he became
an abstainer. He ceased to smoke; he bowed
down .to study; he abandoned dissipation;
he shook off bad company. From the age of
.thirteen till now he .• never resumed either- the
practices or the company. •
le said that one book he rend when he was a
lad decided his character for a daring seaman.
When a boy he read the brave act of the naval
commander at Quebec, who landed his troops in
the face of his foe; and gained a decided victory
over the French, simply by dash and pluck. The
British fleet lay before Quebec. The place was
fortified, and the attempt to land was deemed
rash. The officers of the army were opposed to
landing, and called a council of war to prevent
the brave admiral from carrying out his purpose.
On one of the ships was an old Scotch captain,
bold, brave and pious. The admiral signaled him
aboard the ship. He told his purpose, aod in
funned him of the proposed council. The Scotch
man replied : " Keen away froni the council of
war, it is a coward refuge. Land your troops, if
you think best. and fight it out." The admiral
decided td do so. Wolfe. who was opposed to the
landing. asked to lead the men if the attack was
to be wade. Lk: did so, and all the world knows
the result.
ng America will do well to study the boy
hood of the brave old Admiral. who was lashed
to the mast in Mobile Bay. Let all our youth
read the temptatbm of his -youth—his deliberate
choice of a profession—his resolution to rise—his
heroism in cutting off popular and expensive
fascinating hahits—entting loose from gay and
dissipated company—his heroic study to blaster
his proiessiou—his choice of a model in the old
British Admiral.. and his resolute copy of the
dash and daring, that merked him. marl; the emi
nence to which he . lies attained.—xeir

COUNTERFEITERS ARRESTED.
The rive • Cent Nickel Intitutors...
Caught in the Act of llittinfacturing.
[From the ('inchmati Commercinl, July 24.)
A very important - branch-of-the-"eoneyl= or
counterfeiting business has been. of late, that of
manufacturing, dealing in, and "shoving" the
imitations of - the five cent nickel coins. The
counterfeits. are as plentiful as, the genuine,
and as readily passed in small transactions of
change.
It is a notorious fact that many of the market
hucksters and"corner - confectioners and fruit
dealers have been very well supplied with
-coney," not• only in postal currency, but hi these
same nickel coins. How they happened to come
into nossession.of so ninny of these bail pieces,
and with whom they could deal to be thus pro-.
vided, has long been quite a problem to the detec
tives of the West. Much time has been spent by
the "fly-coppers" of the Treasury . Department in
the effort to detect the source from which coma the
.five-cent nickel coins, and 'without success;
until yesterday,.when a Cineitinati 4 dett."..--:.7.,
an assistant from Indianapolis, solved the prinp; --
km in a most complete and creditable manner.
Several months since United States Detective
Quinton gained a point that led hint to the belief
that a very extensive manufactory of these five
cent nickel coins was in existence in this city.
Acting upon the information thus gained, and as
sisted byDetective Ritbv,of Indiana,he followed up
the matter closely until he was enabled.yesterday,
to place his hand upon the men and the tools—
no inconsiderable trinniph.in the detective busi
ness!. The trail led to the fourth story' of a build
hig on the north side of Third street, next west
of the Henrie House. A rear room of this fourth
floor had been, for sonic time, occupied by a mys
terious couple of men who 'passed themselves off
as paper-hangers, but were, in reality, busily. en
gaged in melting metal, moulding counterfeits of
thetive-cent pieces, and selling the same to the
men who carried the "boodles," by the thou
sands.
L'id to noon of yesterday these choice rascals
carried on a brisk business in their own way, en
tirely undisturbed. .At about one o'cliick, how
ever, they were startled by the kicking in of their
well,bolted door by Quinton. Ruby, conveniently
posted. watched their windows. The first kick •
at the door was followed by the falling of heavy
packages of-coins upon the low roof beneath.
The • second kick brought forth several. moulds
and a quantity of Metal,. The third kick
happened to burst the lock, and Detective
Quinton, with Ruby at his heels, stood in a
room in which. glowed a briskly-burning
fire; beneath - 'a - furnaece 'keine 'Jibed with
metal, and before which stood the two "col:dilat
ers," stripped to the waist on account of the
heat, and just preparing to throw fire, furnace
and all out of the window, in pursuit of the
articles already dropped. But they Were "dead
to rielits" when the -cops" entered, - amid could
only hand over their wrists for the "nippers."
The disturbance thus produced had aroused the
quiet and innocent fellow-occupants of the
counterfeiters, and their utaatt burs., who, sup
posing- that a serious tight was in progress, sent
to the neighboring; police station, on Hammond
street, for the police. Lieutenant Deitch and
Sergeant White promptly responded to the call,
and arrived in time to assist in the arrest and
see enough to make them good witness, for the
United States.
The two men thus arrested gave their names
km as Louis Bell and Louis Benno. They were
taken to the United States Court, together with
their tools—five moulds of five pieces each and the
furnace—fifty pounds of metal, and life thousand
counterfeit pieces, and were sent to jail, to ap
pear before Commissioner lialliday for examina
tion on Thursiday next.
Fire at Long Branch.
Yesterday afternoon, at Long Branch, just as
the guests at the various hotels were going out
for their customary after-dinner drive, the alarm
of "fire" was raised at the lower end of the espla

elapsed after the alarm had been given, dense,
thick volumes of black smoke arose from the
