One of the most remarkable of the men who have ‘engaged in the work of geographical explorations tn our day, ts the gentleman of the above name, who recently arrived here by the Great Eastern. Although known to the sceatifio world by his works, a brief account of bim may not be unacceptable to the great body of our readers. M duChaillu was born in Paris, in the year 1832, Ho came to the United States when quite a boy, and as soon as he was of age took out his letters of naturatization. His love of natural history and taste for ethnological studies developed themselves carly, and he became = regular attendant at the meetings of our New York geo- graphical and ethnological societies. In October, 1865, he left New York on his first Journey of exploration in Western Africa. He selected for his researches the region of the equator, where it was supposed ao white man had previously penetrated. It is covered with dense forests frem the sea shore to as far as he succeeded im reaching, and is inhabited by more than forty tribes, some of them cannibals, and all speaking different die- lects. He travelled between latitude two degrees north and two degrees south of the equator, a distance of some four or five hundred miles, Of the difficulties of this journey some idea may be formed from the fact that there are no beasts of burden in the country, and that everything has to be carried on men’s backs. It raing, moreover, for eight or nine months on the ses coast, and ail the year round in the mountainous region of the in- terior. M. du Chaillu measured in the twelve months ® fall of two hundred and twent; ve inches of rain, the heat frequently reaching one hundred and forty-eight degtees. During his sojourn in this unhealthy region he was repeatedly prostrated by fever, and owed his pre- servation to a naturally strong constitution, and mot to careful nursing, having been unable to induce a single white person to accompany him on his journey. Classica! readers may remember that 10 the Periplas, or voyage of Hanno the Carthagenian, written more than two thousand years ago, he makes allusion to the animal known as the gorilla, “On the third day,” he ays, “we came toa bay called the Horn of the South. To the recess was an island like the first, having a lake, and in this there was another island full of wild men. But much the greater part of them were womon with hairy bodies, whom tho interpreters called gorilias. * * * But pursuing them, we wore not able to take the men; they all escaped from us by their great agility, being cremnobates, that is to say, climbing precipitous rocks and trees, and defending themselves by throw- ing stones at us, We took thres women, who bit and tore those who caught them, and were unwilling to follow. and take their skins off, which skins were brought wo Carthage, for we did not navigate farther, provisions We were obliged therefore to kill them becoming ecarce.”” ‘According to Plivy the skins of these cxptives wore hung in the temple of Juno, and the name gorillas was changed to gorgones. Two of these skins were yet in the temple at the time Carthage was taken. It was the perusal of theso traditions, coupled with the reports currrent among the negroes of the coast, that yed M. du Chaillu to venture upon this dangerous jour. ney into the interior, Th discoveries which he made then amply rewarded him for the perils which he en- countered. In ornothology he added upwards of sixty now species to the existing classiiica!’o1s, and to that of quadrapeds more than thirty, amoux wiich were throe new varicties of apes. On gotting to the heat waters of the Ntambounay, about five thousand feet above the level of the sea, he made bis first acquaintance with the gorilla, We cannot do better than to give the account of the meeting ia his own words:— 3 i z H { F L me some vightmare vision; thus stood before us this king of the forest. He was not afraid of us, He stood there and beat his breast with his huge fists till {t resounded, like an immense bass drum, which 1s their mode of offering defiance, meantime giving vent to roar after roar. ‘This monster M. duChaillu shot and the bedy when measured proved to be five foot eight inches in height, sixty-two inches round the chest and nine feet from the extremity of one outstretched arm to the other. He subsequently killed on this trip twenty-one of these oreatures, the measurement of one of which proved to be larger than that we have just given. The skins and akeletons were brought to this country and were ex- hibited fora short time in New York and Boston. Strange tosay they elicited but very little interest except among a few of our scientific men. They were then taken to E where they created a great SS became one ot the lions of the day. This differ jon of the importance of these dis- ence covertes in the two countries can only be accounted for by the biication of his first book, ‘Adventures in ” which made its appearance shortly after his arrival in London. Even in England there were persons not disposed to exploration. e qualify himself for it he applied himself to the st ud to of astronomy, and also made himself acquainted wit! the management instruments.

A proposition was then made to proceed to the choice of candidates for the State Constitutional Convention, but this was the The Firat ward represontatives showed fight, and a rough crowd of their friends broke open the doors of the hall and took possession of tho Convention, threatening to knock the chairman's head off bis sboulders first and throw his body out of the window afterwards, At this crisis the chairman deemed it pradent to retreat and deciared the Convention ad- the bad apparent Justice Hogan and others, work for the Sweeny aud signal for a general row. among the Jourued until noon on Tuesday.

The municipal elections under the new régime of “free suffrage” were held in this city two days ago, and the Mayor eloct is the first officer in the Stato who has been olocted under the rules and regulations of the Military if, The issue botween the two candidates seemed to be negro or no negro. One of the aspirants was in the federal army and occupied a position of major in a negro regiment at the navy yard here. The successful com- petitor (W. E. Anderson) wasa captain in the rebel ser- vice. For the latter every white man in the place, save two or three, and a great many colored men, voted. The former received a very largo negro vote, but was beaten one hundred and thirteen votes. ‘The colored population ‘was extremely indignant at the defeat of their candidate, and threata were boldly made of their intention to burn the place. Such earnestness was exhibited by them in their menaces that the retiring Mayor sent down to General seymour, at Barrancas, for troops to quell any outbreak. The General promptly sent up a detach- ment of mounted mon, under the command of Major Brinkle, and their presence quickly quieted down the threatening darkies. For about @ week jous to the municipal elections mass mectings were inthe public sequare and at the Custom House. White and biack mingled freely at these gatherings, and spoke from the same stand. A spirit of amity seer wo vade the minds of the masses—ex rebel and ex-federal oflicers and soldiors; blacks and whites expressed the highest regard for the manliness of each other, and everything would have passed off quietly bad nota fow turbulent spirits among the blacks, instigated by the defeated candidate, called a secret meeting of the colored men and indu them to array themselves against the whites, It was understood that if the candidate of the blacks was elected died away now, and if the colored = complaints are made. The appointment of General Pope for this district gives ‘ersal gatisfaction, and hie first general order breathes ‘the true A +s! of a gentiemsn and an officer.
