After the adjournment of the Liberal Republican Wonvention yesterday the delegates were not long im finding their way to the hotels and boarding houses, which have since the commencement of the ‘week been filled to repletion. The reception rooms ‘were soon crowded with excited delegates and fiends of the liberal movement, who were busy dis- ¢uasing the results of the day's work. In some of ‘the hotels speeches were made by enthusiastic del- egates approving the course of the Convention, while everywhere the nomination was the sole topic of conversation. ‘The larger number of delegates appeared deci- edly satisfied with the issue of theirlabors, but the excitement at the termination of the Convention ‘Was not all in the shape of ratification. At College pout A Sissons se. te anny leat # = .#" 4 MEETING OF ONTO DELEGATES ‘was held, which comprised about half of the Ohlo delegation to the Liberal Convention, and which turned out to be very stormy. Judge W. B. Sloane, Of Port Clinton, was called to the chair, ‘The larger number of delegates made speeches, and some of them were denunciatory and excit- ing, while others counselled moderation and con- sideration. Among the most prominent were Judge Hoadley, who was one of the Committee on Resolu- tions, He said that Judge Stanley Matthews, the temporary president ; John W. John, as well as him- self, had left the Convention in disgust. dndge SLOANE said he had been originally an Adams man, but there was no evidence that Giee- Jey and his friends had practiced FRAUD UPON THE CONVENTION, and until he had such evidence he should adhere to the nomination. He believed it was for the inter- ests of the country that there should be a complete change in the administration of the government. He counselled them to be calm and considerate, and to act deliberately, like men. THOMAS E. POWELL, of Delaware county, said he Was dissatisfied with the nomination, but would aoe the ticket. |. HEATON, of Columbiana, Ohio, sald he was dis- Satisfied, but urged moderation. Judge Brinkennorr said he would not be made a | victim of a choice between two evils. Men came to the Convention from New York and Pennsylvania who were as much intruders as the devil was when he intruded himself among the sons of men. They ame and outwitted and outnumbered them. He did not belong to anybody now. He was not yet willing to say he woulda’t vote for Grant, but he shouldn't vote for Grecley. General Jack CasEMeNT asked if they were not all 1d with the platform? Other members answered “Yes, yes.’ He farther inquired if Greeley was not an honest man? What more was wanted? He Ay aia Caseinent) had joined this movement and torn up his’ bridge behind him; he ‘Was going to stick by the nominution, A DISCOURAGED LIBERAL. | General BuuNerr sald he now felt discouraged and disheartened. He didn’t think the civil ser- vice reform had anything to hope for from the hands of such men. Grecley was honest, Progressive and liberal in his views, yet he wasa man of crochets; he had no judgment of men; his political friends and associates in New York were among a class of men who did not enjoy the public confidence; who were nearly allied to the Tam- corruption. Though he was deeply grieved at result to-day, he thought they ought to maintain their organization for future work, aud not take hasty step¢ which they might repent, Colonel Parxotr, of Montgomery county, satd there never was a more shameless trade made by men than that made by Gratz Brown in the Con- vention. Mr. Fry, of Clark county, said the bargain and sale were evident. Some member asked where was the evidence? Mr, Fry replied that the evidence was tn Gratz Brown's speech. Mr. AymEns, of the Fourteenth district, urgod them not to judge too harshly, and counselled moderation. General BRinkervorr announced his resignation asa member of the State Central Committee; he ‘was not willing to abide the determination of the Convention. General 8.

Several other members spoke FOH AND AGAINST THE NOMINATION, and finally, after a long session, a motion to ad- Journ prevailed. Pod og number of delegates departed for their homes last night. Others will leave to-day, while a few will remain over the Sabbath. hotels even now are well cleared out, and though small groups of gentiemen are discussing the situation, still, compared with ‘the immense crowds that have thronged the corridors and halis for a week past, the public houses Jook compara- tively deserted.” The excitement in the city duiing the balloting for President was intense, the anxicty for news pervading all classes, ON ‘CHANGE. ‘The President of the Chamber of Commerce read | the results of the ballotings as they were made. | Each result was received with applause, and the interest was so great that it seriously interfered | with business, A considerable number, of persons rewained on the floor of the bxchange until the final result was received.

Sacr Lake Crry, May 4, 1872. The news of the nomination of Mr. Greeley created quite a commotion in political circles here, Demo- Sata ‘ica the opidi6i ‘that Mr, Greeley will de- velop lese strength against Grant than any other of the candidates before the Convention. SAN FRANCISCO, May 4, 1872. The Cal says:—‘The nomination of Mr. Greeley Produces the greatest dismay among the federal omMceholders, All now depends on the action of the democracy.” ‘The Alla California says:—‘To deny that the Cincinnati ticket has strength betore the people is Cincinnati. As between Grant and Wilson of Mas- sachusetts and Greeley and Brown there can be for the democracy but one choice. ‘The Banner says the ticket cannot fail to com- mand the respect of the American people, and that - from its truly national character, to say nothing of its truly national platform, which was and is its superstructure, ought to irresistible strength and the Mberal sentiment of the whole ticket is a strong one, pearisieeandion hat its nomination was effected throug! agencies not altogether uncommon to nominating conventions, and smacking a little too much of po- litical intrigue to be entirely in accord with the un- selfish patriotism which inspired the liberal move- ment and produced the Convention. It attributes the defeat of Mr, Adams to the influence of Blair. Boston, May 4, 1872. ‘The Boston Post, a ieadihg democratic paper, speaking of the Cincinnati Convention and its nomi- nations, says:— Proposing lofty resnits, with which the people everywhere were in active sympathy, when it came to the application of its means it failed miserably, Few persons in their sober senses will deny that the selection of Horace Greeley, by an assembly, so powerlully equipped with the popular sympathy, idie; but the democracy will probably nominate a ticket of their own and drive Mr. Greeley’s friends to support Grant.” The Chronicle says:—“The Cincinnati platform is unexceptionable, but the nomination of Mr. Greeley is such a surprise that we can form no idea at pres- ent as to its effects upon a mercantile people.” s 81. Louis, May 4, 1872. The Republican this morning has the following editorial :— The Cincinnati Convention yesterday nominated Horace Greeley for Rresident and Governor B, Gratz Brown for Vice President. ‘This is the result of its third day’s proceedings, and, in the popular es- timation, the substantial product of the Convention. hTe platform is an eminently acceptable and satis- factory one, and worthy of the ticket; but it is the nominations that the public have most anxiously waited for, and it is the ticket actually presented that will guide the feporiiae, hosts in the battle. The ticket stamps tle Convention with success, and imparts to the insurgent cause a new force, Tt ts needless to inquire whether Adams or ‘Trumbull, Davis or Palmer, would or would not have been a better candidate for the first place. The distinguished man actually nominated for that first place is so good and fit as to leave little room for regret among the partisans of the defeated aspirants, and to produce amon the people a fecling of emphatic satisfaction. One thing at least is certain. Neither of the oppos- ing amplrants isa stronger man than Horace Gree- ley. His name is a tower in the North and in the South. His simple act of going on the ball bond of Jefferson Davis, and thereby secur- ing his release from Stanton’s pitiless imprison- ment, won the hearts of the Southern Confederates without losing for him an atom of the good will of a single Union man whose good will was worth having. He is popular with the colored people, whose steadfast friend he has ever been He is popular in Maine and more popular still in ‘Texas. In fact, he possesses a wider and more equit- able popularity than any other man in the United States. He has some infirmities, indeed; but they are infirmities of manner rather than serious faults. They do not weaken him; they do not impair his fee regard him with a fond forbearance, and t woukl not be bar out of the way to say—lke him, all the better for them. His infirmities are certainly not vices, Beneath them and in them the Erdle detect the sterling worth of a faithfal, upright and just man. Not one of the later individual accessions to the liberal re- volt brought to itso large @ measure of strength and influence as he. Indeed, ever since he espoused the cause he has been recognized as its most for- midable champion after Carl Schurz. His opposi- ton to Grant is positive and unqualifie id hi years tion he has ever encountered. In fact he struck the administra tion a blow from which it has never recovered, and from which it never will recover. Brown is popular in the West and South, and has recently made speeches at Topeka and Davenport which will do much to give shape and direction to the canvass and compact the opposition to Grant. Greeley is an avowed protectionist, while Brown isan outspoken free trader, and this fact will be made the most of by the administration; but all the force of apparent contradiction has been de- stroyed by the action of the Convention in remit- ting the tariff question to the Congressional dis- tricts, Mr. Greeley himself declared in the Tribune Wednesday that & majority of the American people want free trade they ought to have it, no wmutter whether this or that individual be displeased thereby, intimating that if Congress should pass a free trade act the President would have no right to veto it. How will this ticket and platform strike the people; partieu- larly how wiil they strike that great body of demo- ago, and inflicted on Grant the first humilia- own in the field, are, for that very reason, arbiters of the opening contest? These are interesting questions, The three million democratic votes and the men who cast them have all at once become the controlling element in the Presidential problem. ‘They are not to be kept out of sight; they are constantly in view. Yesterday all eyes were fixed on liberal by Soren to-day all eyes are fixed on democrats. Yesterday the ab- sorbing question was, whom will the liberals nomi- nate? To-day itis, whom will the democrats vote for? Upto this time the democrats have wisely, though with immense difficulty, stood aloof from the exciting and fascinating contest and main- tained a passive attitude; but now that insurrec- tion, which their passiveness was to provoke and stimulate, has burst forth with uncontrollable impe- petus and taken the field with defiant banners, with an impressive proclamation, and with leaders whose names produce dismay in the camp of the dominant despotic power at Washington. The necessity for this passive expectancy no longer exists. Democrats are American citizens and | American patriots, and because they are such it is | both their right and their duty to take part in the struggle now beginning. What will that part be? | ‘They will not hail the division in the republican | party as a mere party opportunity and obtrude a asa candidate for the Presidency is @ disappoint- ment for which they were not prepared, ‘The Boston Advertiser heads a leading editorial on the subject “The Ridiculous Muss,” and says the reckless joke of the New York Sun has been metamorphosed into a verity by a convention of gentlemen, who called themselves to a task of statesmanship by nominating for President “the great and good Horace Greeley.” The Boston Journal says:—"She ponerse opinion of the republicans is that Mr. Greeley decidedly the best nomince whom the Cincinnati Convention could have selected for the benefit of the republi- can party.” PORTLAND, Me., May 4, 1872. The Eastern Argus (democratic) comes out fully for Horace Greeley as the people’s candidate this morning. MemMPuis, May 4, 1872. The nominations of the Cincinnati Convention are almost universally regarded as the strongest that could be made. The Avalanche and Appeal unhesitatingly endorse the nominations and will support the ticket. Derrorr, May 4, The Free Press of this city (democratic) says of the Cincinnati nomination that Greeley is a strong man with whom to demoralize the republican party, and that probably the result will be the de- at of Grant’s nomination or election, It con- siders that the chances of the democracy are largely increased. N, Del., May 4, 1872. The Commercial says ‘The democrats will re- pudiate Greeley, whose appearance in the fleld is simply a threat of injury to the republican candi- date, giving new hopes to the democracy.” ‘The Gazette (democratic organ) says :—'‘The demo- crats will vote for the democratic candidate, and in doing so will vote for the next President The Delawartan (Saulsbury’s organ) says:—“The nomination relieves the democratic party of any alliance with liberal republicans.” WASHINGTON, May 4, 1872, The Chronicle of to-day, in a leader on the Cin- cinnatt platform and candidate, says:—‘‘They may perhaps appeal to some few thousand more of the republicans than those who assisted in the Conven- tion, but the great mass of the party will see with unerring instinct the real meaning of the action of the liberals, and, refusing to be seduced, refuse to aid in the destruction of the republican party.” ‘the Republican says:—‘*The Cincinnati Conven- tion had ‘a chance to give trouble to the republican party in the coming ket ay but it threw it away. The nomination of Mr. Adams would have been formidable. It would have raised the entire movement into the upper atmosphere of states- manship and respectability. It would have made ‘an inroad into the party—appealed to its traditions and aspirations. It wouid have divided, if any- thing could have divided, the republican ranks.

LIVINGSTONE’ SAFETY. News from the British Agency and Consulate at Zanzibar Concern- ing Livingstone and Stanley. ped DR. KIRK AND THE HERALD EXPEDITION. ee His Whole Reliance in Stanley and a Firm Belief in His Success. aS ae Facts Regarding Livingstone and Stanley. ct Cory trtbacz ba Important Letters to the Geographical So- ciety of England, Lonpon, April 23, 1872, At the monthly meeting of the Geographical So- ¢lety last evening, at the University of London, sir H. Rawlingon in the chair, letters were read from Dr. Kirk on the subject of Dr. Livingstone’s pro- longed absence, the chairman prefacing the read- ing by the remark that they contained nothing absolbtely new. The first letter was dated Zanibar, January 15, 1872, from the British Agency and Con- sulate to Sir Henry Rawliuson, by Dr, Kirk. After some remarks of @ geographical character the let- ter said:— i : DR. KORK’S LETTER. “{ should like to see some explorers follow the trade caravans that every year set out from Pan- gani and Mombassa, and passing the foot of the Kilmanjaro and transversing the salt plains cov- evered with thick layers of Conde carbonate of soda, pass the wild Masai and Wakwasi to the shores of the Nile lakes, there meeting with the people of Uganda, and others from Karagive. This would be a journey full of interest and also adventure, and I was astonished that Mr. Stanley, who, as correspondent of the New YORK HERALD, seems to hold a roving commission, did not follow the new and unexplored path, rather than take the dull and well known road_ to Ujiji, in which there can be little of interest left for an un- scientific traveler. You have heard of the disasters that befel the Arabs of Unyanyembe in September last. Since then there has been no communication from that part. I wrote at once to Mr. Stanley and asked him todo forme ali he could in saving the second lot of stores sent on to Livingstone. These had reached Unyanyembe, and had been started by the chief on the road to Ujiji, when the head man in charge died and the party fell back on Unyanyembe. Before matters were rearranged the war had broken out. This is all we know, and we have no details whether Dr. Livingstone’s things formed part of what was lost or not. I fancy not, as the chief part of the settlement was not robbed, only the outlying settlers of the station. MY WHOLE RELIANCE IS IN MR. STANLEY. He will do his best, I feel assured, and I have given him full power to act. What his aims are he never explained, At first he intended going up the Lufiji River, and so to Tanganyika. I believe his ultimate object is to meet with Livingstone. He is the agent of a New York paper, and in what way they intend getting their expenses back I cannot tell; but as it is a commercial affair there is but little chance of getting much from Mr. Stanley as original news unless through the columns of the paper he writes for, I doubt not, if in possession of Dr. Livingstone, he would try to pass it on direct to New York, in order that it might first be published inthe HERALD. He used to amuse us here with tales of how he passed on details from the Abys- sinian war to New York and outwitted the London correspondents, (Laughter.) He has, how- ever, now met with a severe check, has lost goods and men, and one, if not both, of his white companion: was idiotic and almost dying at Unyanyembe. fight in which he allowed himself to be involved he was so Il] that he had to be carried on a litter. the negro chief is again beaten by the combined Arab forces he will be able to push on, and we are sure also to recelve news from Ujiji, and, perhaps, letters from Livingstone; but until the war is at an end we can hope for nothing unless by the round- about way of Cazembe or Wemba. DR. KIRK'S PAITH IN STANLEY. ‘The last dispute of a similar nature closed the Ujiji ivory market for three years, when the accumulated proceeds came down. You wish me to say confl- dentially what I think of Dr. Livingstone’s position, dna I see that you are not averse to taking any mensures that might vad to his being communt- cated with, if only a Jair prospect of success offered, This, I think, Mr. Stanley will accomplish, As to Livingston’s position, we know that at Cazembe's Town he was out of all stores, and living on the generosity of various Arab parties met with. These Arabs have long since reached the coast, and retarned on other expeditions, some of them to Ujiji, others to Cazembe, At Ujijl we knew from Dr. Livingstone himself that he found a few of the things sent off years ago. He had been ill, and iliness had affected his temper. He warned us, indeed, that we might expect no further details of his proceedings | until such time as he came to publish them in per- son. This, he said, he regretted, as an accident on the way might lose forever the whole results he had accumulated. Such a letter was obviously penned when African fever lay heavy upon him and when he was out of quinine. It was before the large supply of all sorts of stores reached Ujiji. ‘Then he had set out to a place distant about twenty or thirty days’ journey to the west of the Sea of Ujiji. | THE OBJECT OF THIS EXPEDITION | was clearly to learn the truth regarding the lake to | which he had been told the waters of Cazembe and the chain of lakes he had followed all converged, | No one with whom Ihave come in contact has yet | been able to describe the cotintry of Manyema; it | isan ivory country, visited by the Ujiji traders, | but these men seldom come to the coast. Livingstone followed an Arab caravan, and | we e heard of their safe arrival at Manyema, but not of their return to Ujiji; on their way back both the Arab caravan and Dr, Livingstone came to a standstill, and the men I had sent to be his servants had left Ujiji with stores to assist him. Objection has been taken to the story that Livingstone wrote to Ujiji for assistance, be- | | cause no one in Ujiji could read hig jetters, This is | no objection whatever, as no doubt he would get | his companion Moh Cin Gharib to use his pen, and write in Arabic or ahell, If Dr. Living- | stone reaches Ujiji we know he will find supplies, diminished no doubt by expenses on | the way and losses in passing that awful | marsh, where the men died from cholera, but yet, [ | trust, sufficient for ali he requires, If he takes up | good: do not see aly difMicuity in his way either to return to Zanzibar or push on, 4% he seems to have in- | tended, by taking canoes and foliowing the lake to ' thé north. i | Livingstone’s whole aim and object_ +“ | | | | had been done by others, and we may rest us- sured he will not come out of Affica | that undone.

Yours, &c., JOHN KIKK.” A Seasonable Suggestion. To THe Epitor OF THE HERALD:— Can’t you “let up” a little on Livingstone? Has he any relatives ‘‘on’? the HERALD that expect to become his heirs? Do you really wish to “dis- cover” him? Now let me tell you what I think about him and it will save you further trouble and expense. Old Daddy Livingstone has found an oll well and is working it on shares with the natives in an ethnological, geographical and zoological manner, and it would be a pity to disturb him before he gets @ certain number of barrels per day, when the shares will go up, and = he_ will sell out and come home. Wither this, or the fellow who keeps the Cannibal House and ten-pin alley on the Shell road, out from Lake Tan You Skin, has captured him and served him on the half shell with oyster sauce; at any rate I don’t be- lieve he wants to be “discovered.” Its a mistake to apes that men like Livingstone and Sir J. ihklin—want to be Leh gpa | ao you find them, and bring them home, how long would they stay? They’d right of and you would only have to discover them over rer Take my advice, let the doctor aione (and if alive, and he wants to) he'll come home like Little Bopeep; that is, if, taking another view of the case, he hasn’t gone off on the tail of acomet to see a running match on the Milky Way Race Track; in which case, with its usual en- terprise, the HERALD will have to establish an ob- servatory to “discover” bim. Yours. truly, in the interests of SCIENCE, Opinions of the Press on the Success of the Herald’s Expedition in Search of Dr. Livingstone. [From the Elkton (Maryland) Democrat, May 4.) ‘This great African explorer, whose name has probably been as frequently on men’s lips as that of any other man, has seemed almost to court disaster in all he has undertaken, and certainly no man was ever killed by rumor as often as he, After making an incursion into Central Africa, getting lost, sul- fering with privation and fever, and being a dozen different times reported dead, he came home several years ago, wrote a book of travels, enjoyed himeelfin scientific society for a time, and then concluded that he had not seen enough of Africa or had a surfeit of swamp fever. Consequently, in 1865, he started for Africa again, to see more of its unknown lakes, to agonize in fever among more of its swamps, to get a few more wounds from savage arrows and then to get lost again fora year or two and cause a dozen other accounts of the particular manner of his death at sundry times and places, After sending many letters home he finally ceased to send them, or, at least, they ceased to come, and as month after month and year after year passed and no tidings were received of or from him conviction began to | settle that he was really dead at last, and the sclen- | tifie world was becoming lachrymose over the loss of the records he had made or would have made for | its benefit. English pride was appealed to, and | English bounty alike to send other men to share | Livingstone’s fate or learn what that fate was. | Nobody in Great Britain seemed to care about him | or to have money to spend in search of him. The government expressed its solicitude, but did not open its purse. Finally a soulless individual, called a corporation, comy lof one man, and that man the proprietor of the New York HBRALD, who has succeeded in amassing an immense fortune at the same time that he has built up one of the most gigantic wonders of modern times in the shape of the foremost journal of the age (a journal as mar- vellous in its enterprise in collecting news, and it is unscrupulous in its way of interpreting its mean- ing), determined to do what the British nation had failed to do, and to show more soul than all England, its sclentists and its statesmen combined had been able to manifest, and actually planned and | fitted out at its own expense an expedition to go | into African wilds and find Dr, Livingstone, or oe ish inthe attempt. Its only motive was journalistic enterprise and its only reward the fame of a won- derful achievement. Selecting as the chief of the expedition one of its European correspondents—M: Stanley—it gave him a brief order to “find D Livingstone,” and made no restriction about means ingly last spring Stanley started, Last fall we had a description of his expedition and an account of his departure for the interior. Since then nothing has | been heard of him, except a painful rumor that he had died of fever, till Thursday last, when the | HERALD published a brief telegram from Bombay | via London that “Dr. Livingstone is safe with | Stanley at Zanzibar.” | “Here, my countrymen, let us pause! Point me, | | if you are able, to a parallel!” The cause of sci- | ence, British pride and the British Treasury, Afri- | can Wilds and jungles and savage beasts and | scarcely less savage men, fever and famine and Egyptian darkness have alike succumbed before the invincible prowess and the peerless enterprise | of the great untamed, untamadle, unconvinced and unconvincible — Scotch-American — octogenarian prince of journalists.

Why speculate, however?

Prospects of the Palmer Patch work Charter. THE PRESIDENCY IN THE LEGISLATURE, Proceedings of the Albany Statesmen in Both Houses Yesterday. ADJOURNMENT EXPECTED IN TEN DAYS. ALBANY, May 4, 1872, The members of both Honses of the Legislature begin to realize that it is time they returned to their homes. A large number of bills have been disposed of within the last few days, and the re- maining important measures which they feel bound to legislate upon will be hurried through next week. Senator Tiemann introduced a concurrent resolution to-day providing ‘for adjournment sine die on Saturday, May 11, a week from to-day, but it is not likely that the Assembly will be ready to adjourn quite so soon as that. The impression is that the Assembly will flx the adjournment for next Tugs- day or Wedhesday week. ‘ THE NEW CHARTER will not go through the House quite so easily as it went through the Senate. A meeting of the Ag- sembly Committee on Cities is to be held on Mon- day afternoon to hear parties in relation to the charter, and it is very probable that the committee will report upon it in the evening. There does not appear to be any particular objection to the docu- ment, except its provisions with reference to the Finance Department. There {s a good deat of opposition to Comptroller Green, and it is very likely that the provisions which propose to keep nam in_ will be amended by the Committee on Cities. With that exception it is understood that the charter will be reported to the House tn the shape in which it passed the Senate. When it goes to the Gover- nor the Legislature will leave it with him, and not wait here ten days after its passage, 1a view of the contingency of another veto. GREELEY AND GRATZ BROWN have some friends, of course, in this reform Legis- lature, and there lias been some talk about the pos- sibility of getting a resolution through the Assem- bly endorsing the nominees of the Cincin~ nati Convention. Greeley being so popular among the farmers, many of the mem- bers, whose constituents have so h an opinion of the philosopher and statesman might feel compelled to vote for such a resolution, while others would be in doubt as to what they should do, and the democrats, of course, would vote against it. One of the liberal republican members had a resolu- tion of that nature in his pocket, ready to present to the House to-day, but after the matter had been canvassed he hearkened to the counsel that dis- cretion was the hetter part of valor, and did not present ft. If the session had not been extended so far as it has been, the political talkers in the House would be delighted at the op- portunity the resoiution would afford them to open the campaign in the capital, The liberal republican reformers here, liowever, came to the very sensible conclusion that their resolution, if they should offer it, could not possibly be adopted. THE SUPVLY BULL was the special order in the Senate, and a couple of hours were devoted to it, but there was not time to-day to finish it before the usual hour for adjourn- ment, Its further consideration was postponed un- til next Tuesday. THE ASSEMBLY had a short session this morning, but a number of bills were finally disposed of in rapid transit style. Mr. Judd endeavored to get in the report of the Committee on Commerce and Navigation with reference to the Harbor Masters’ investigation ; but. as Judd is the Chairman of the Committee on Cities, as well as a member of the Committee on Commerce and Navigation, seme of the members thought he was about to report the charter, and as the Honse was not ready to consider it just now, the motion to adjourn was passed, and it prevailed.
