—- Las from death unto life. Po contra to the fore. { going, the sage and sober historian of the Society of Friends, 8. M. Janmy, of Virginia, @eclared against the divinity ot hrist, and denied His vicarious sufferings or Quth, and Strangely enough, too, on the very game grounds that Unitarians accept Him as the Saviour—namely, that it was man who was to be reconciled to God and not God to man. He also denied the doctrine of human depravity, which, of course, he was obliged to do to sus- tain his previous denial. It would be amusing, if it were not soserious a matter, to analyze the modes of argument by which men come to such Conolusions, and the trouble they take to dodge a a statement of Holy Writ. ‘@ acknowledge the recognition of the ‘Henaxp’s efforts to explore Africa and to open up that dark land to the influences of Christian civilization made by Rev. David Mitchell yesterday, and the compliment which he paid to Dr. Livingstone, the object of our search. As he truly remarked, the search and the discovery are important events to the Church and the world. The Rev. Mr. Hepworth has ‘worked together with God” so ardently and earnestly for tho last half year that he has begun to tire out and needs a little rest and recreation. Hence he bade his congregation a temporary farewell yesterday, and when he resumes work in the fall he expects to have his proposed new church under way. Dr. Marshall, of Jersey City, presented reasons why the love of Christ 6hould constrain us to greater diligence nd increased efforts for the salvation of the world. And Dr. Cyrus Brooks, of Minne- sota, pointed out to his Glen Oove hearers the faults which Christians make in watching the Symptoms of their spiritual life to seo if there was anything therein that would justify joyous hopes of heaven. Instead of this he would have men look to Jesus and perfect the gifts and graces which God gives to them, and labor onin His cause until they are called hence, When they will be able to say with St. wul—‘I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith,” and go home to wear a crown of life eternal. The Case of Vogt, the Alleged Mur- derer—A Nice Question. Our readers are all familiar with the case of Joseph Stopp, alias Carl Vogt, who is charged with the murder of M. le Chevalier Dubois Bianca and the burning of his chateau, situated i gutside the city of Brussels, Qa Bh ni y, & ago, an argument was heard by Governor Hoffman, at Albany, in regard to the ‘merits of an application made by the Belgian [bares to the Governor of the State of flew York for a requisition for the delivery of Vogt. The Governor having since decided to comply with the terms of the requisition, Sheriff Brennan, on Friday, received a warrant of surrender of the body of Vogt to Detective Farley, of the Central Ofilce, to be conveyed to Belgium. Vogt’s counsel, on hearing the facts of the case, sued out a writ of habeas corpus ‘upon Detective Farley, compelling him to pro- @uce the prisoner before Judge Blatchford, at fen o'clock on Saturday. The case was heard on Saturday, when Judge Blatchford said he ng cognizance of the action of the Gover- for and dismissed the writ, the prisoner being reconveyed to the Tombs. The question raised Is anico one, Between the United States and Belgium no extradition treaty exists. The question, therefore, is, Has the Governor the power to deliver over to justice this alleged fugitive? On this point the statute is pleaded. In L Rev. Stat, p. 463 (fifth edition), it is provided that The Governor may in his discretion deliver. over justice any persons found within the State who fe be charged with having committed without he jurisdiction of the United States any crime ex- cept treason, which by the laws of t State, if committed therein, is punishable by death or byim- prisonment in the State Prison. Such delivery can only be made on the requisition of the duly author- ized ministers or officers of the government within the jurisdiction of which the crime shall be charged to have been committed. It shall be the duty of the Governor to require such evidence of the guilt of the person so charged as would be necessary to justify his apprehension and commitment for trial a ie ie crime charged been committed within this ate. On the strength of this statute the Gover- nor’s action seems to be well taken. It remains to be seen, however, whether there is sufficient power in the sovereignty of the State to war- rant action independent of the general gov- ernment, Cometary Influence on the Weather. - A Washington paper stated recently that the impression prevails among scieniists there that the coming comet is the cause of the late dry spell of weather which has been felt so severely till the late rains. If such a drought is one of the first fruits of the coming meteor we might well dread the harvest of distress and plight in store forit. But the idea of cometary influence on the atmosphere can hardly be entertained by scientific men. The fact has- been well attested by a long series of observa- tions that these eccentric visitants do not radiate sufficient heat to affect the most sen- pitive mercurial thermometer yet constructed; ‘and from that it would seem to follow that the popular notions’ of their “meteorologic agency hhave no foundation. So far, however, from o¢- ‘casioning long dry spells, the flashing train has een popularly regarded as the augury of ® bountiful harvest and yintage. The comet of 1811 was supposed to have been the couse ‘of the prolific and abundant crops which werd almost universal in the Old and New Worlds. ‘Even now in the latter it is not uncommon to hear of the great comet year, and wines have sometimes been sold at a high figure, under the fancy of some influence produced by the tail of a favorite comet. It is said by close ob- servers that other comets of later years have apparently had some physical influence in pro- ducing fine agricultural yields, and it may be the spectroscope, with its wonderful powers of Analysis, may, ere long, enable physicists to settle tho long-agitated problem of the consti- tution and influence of these vast nebulous streams, VOORHEES AND GREELEY.

RATIFICATION TO PROCEED AT ONCE. Minister Schenck Ordered to Carry Out the Disgrace. THE SYNDICATE ALONE JOYFUL. WASHINGTON, May 26, 1872. The information regarding the purport of the Supplemental article, as given in these despatches last night, is confirmed by more recent advices, It is as complete a surrender to the imperious de- mands of Granville as John Bull in bis most arro- gant mood could desire. The statement that great care has been taken to exciude in the provisions of the article any opportunity by which the British government may take advantage to urge a settle- ment of the claims for damages + ON ACCOUNT OF THE FENIAN RAIDS is simply absurd, The British government has never claimed that the United States did not use due diligence to prevent those raids, and the ques- tion of damages arising from them has never been referred to in connection with the pending treaty, except in the counter case presented by England for the consideration of the Geneva Tribunal. The article as reported by the Foreign Relations Com- mittee was changed from the original Just enough to satisfy Secretary Fish and to ASE YAR saproVOUE BEEFORIO the short-sighted pride of a few administration sen- ators, who were content with the phrase, “Great Britain acknowledges,” &c. Subsequently Messrs, Edmunds and Conkling were allowed to tinker it Still more, for the purpose, as already explained, of “making it better English,” which they did, per- haps, philologically, but it could not have been made better = year ENGLISH IN SENTIMENT, The debate from the outset was in decided oppo- sition to ratification, and the disgraceful blunders of ourso-called diplomacy were acknowledged even by the Fish Senators, while they were severely de- nounced by the liberals and the regular opposition. The remark was frequently made that when we make a treaty with England we invariably have to make ANOTHER TO DEFINE ITS MEANING. The history of all our diplomatic negotiations with that country was the subject of frequent re- view, and it was clearly set forth that we have in- variably succumbed to the brow-beating arrogance of John Bull. Humiliation is a weak word with which to express the feeling which pervades all circles since the result has become known to the Public. In fact, the present condition of public sentiment, as indicated from a Washington stand- point, is directly THE REVERSE OF THE CORDIAL FRIENDSHIP which the treaty was intended to invoke. The two nations have gained nothing, exceptin so far as the stock speculators are concerned, by the result, and the exclamation is on a thousand lips to-night, “Well, we must wait for another chance.”’ The unusual efforts of Senators to preserve inviolate their obligations of secrecy have been remarkably successful, and the result is a very general IGNORANCE REGARDING THE VOTE. One statement, from an apparently trustworthy source, is that it stood 87in the affirmative to 8 in the negative, with a large number of pairs and dodgers. A close calculation shows that, with Senators Ferry, of Connecticut; Davis, of Kentucky ; and Brownlow, of Tennessee, absent, the remaining seventy-one Sen- ators were divided as follows:—Porty-nine in favor of ratification and twenty-two opposed to ratifica- tion, Such, at least, is the estimate or count of noses made by the State Department lobby, Messrs. Howe and Carpenter, of Wisconsin, were the only regularly acknowledged administration Senators who were opposed to ratification, Mr. Carpenter was paired, and consequently did not vote, It will be seen that it Is impossible to get an exact states ment of the record, for the reason that one vote in the negative being paired TOOK TWO FROM THE AFFIRMATIVE LIST, as the vote was in effect on the question of ratifica- tion and two-thirds were required to carry it. The resolution submitted by Mr. Cameron, accompany- ing the amended article, was so drawn that its adoption was equivalent to ratification. It read in effect :— ‘ ictedioan Resolved (two-thirds of the Senate concurring), ‘That the President be advised, &c. And the consent of the Senate, as required by the Constitution to the ratification, was expressly stated. The only remaining step to be taken be- fore the Treaty goes into full effect is the EXCHANGE OF RATIPICATIONS, which Minister Schenck will be empowered to do, ‘There is another report that the vote stood 42 in the’ affirmative and 9 in the negative, with 20 paired and dodging, but the best information obtainable is that 37 to 8 is correct. Messrs. Hamilton (of Maryland), Vickers, Saulsbury, Stockton, and possibly Mr. Bayard, were the democrats who voted for ratifica- tion. If Mr. Bayard did not vote aye he undoubt- edly did not vote at all. It is positively ascertained that Sumner, Schurz, Howe and Stevenson voted in the negative, and it is reported that Messrs. Thur- man, Ames, Fenton and Sprague did the same. Mr, Casserly is understood to have dodged, in whichact he had a goodly company. Secretary Boutwell is one among the few persons who expressed any gratification at the result to-night. THE INFORMAL PROTOCOL. When it was annonnced last night that the propo- sition of Earl Granyille would be accepted by the Vnited States, provided that the Senate would agree by a two-third vote to the propo- sition, there was no doubt on the part of the administration that the sugges- tion _ would be accepted. Had it not been for the exception of Sir Stafford Northcote, who was the only representative on the side of the British Commissioners at the Joint High Commission authorized to negotiate for the settlement of pending questions be- tween the two countries, the question would have been settled several days before, It appears, by reference to documents at the State Department not strictly diplomatic but con- structively pertaining to the deliberations of the Joint High Commission, that the proposition to submit ALL QUESTIONS POR ARBITRATION should include in fall every question that the United States and Great Britain could refer with respect to the Alabama claims, after what had hap- pened following the acts of the Confederate cruisers, When the Joint High Commission met it was with the distinct understanding that every question open for negotiation between the two countries should be referred to arbitration. The question was discussed as to whether questions involving the nationality of Great Britain and her American dependencies should be discussed. It was decided that all questions pertaining to the British American Possessions were NOT WITHIN THE PROVINCE of the Joint High Commission, Further on the question came up as to the liability of the mother government for acts induced by its dependencies. Sir John Macdonald said that he was fully au- thorized to answer for all acts committed or alleged to be committed by cruisers or vessels fitted out in whole or in part by the Canadian or British government on the Atlantic side, and that every act pertaining to a cruiser, so far as it related to a veasel that participated in Confederate war- fare, he was ready to acknowledge that the Do- minion would RECOGNIZE IT3 RESPONSIBILITY, The United States says, in its own case before the Geneva Tribunal, sustaining its character— First, If the facts which the Geneva Tribunal constitute, in her own opinion, no Just cause for a claim against Great Britain, they must bow to their own decision; but if, on the other hand, Great Britain should not be able to ex- plain to their complete satisfaction the charges and the proof which they present, the United States will count upon an award to the FULL EXTENT OF THEIR DEMAND, OBITUARY. General James K. Ross. Major Gefieral James Kerr Ross, of the British Army, has just died at his residence, Elmbank, near Edinburg, Scotland. He was cighty-one years of age. He had a distinguished ser- vice. General Ross entered tho army in the month of March, 1807, and became lieutenant in May 1808. He served the campaigns of 1811, ‘12, '13, '14 and 15 with the Ninety-seconn regiment of infantry, and was three times wounded—viz., in the left lig by a musket ball, at the battle of the Pyrenees; in the left foot by a musket ball, at Quatre Bras; and in the right arm by a musket ball, at Waterloo, He attained the rank of captain in 1818, becawe major in 1831, lieutenant colonel in 1844, colonel ia 1354, and major general in 1861, Alexander Merilecs. The well known Edinburg character—of the street and 01 the prison—Alexander Mertlees, better known by the sobriquet of “Sally Kelly,” has just died in the Scotch capital. Of the eighty-two years of his life this singular person spent more than forty years in prison, and for the past half century has been considered a pest by the police authori- ties, having been convicted at the Police Court 350 times. Upwards of sixty years ago he went to Edinburg from his native town, Musselbury), and commenced a career of dissipation which con- tinued until he entered the inirmary, a few weeks since, to die. He never learned a trade, but o casionally did odd jobs for val, one who would em- loy him in order to supply his craving for drink. le used to sing in High si it, Cunvngate, and other frequented thoroughfares, to groups of peo- ie who gave him coppers to encour: the flow of his jokes. It was from one of his favorite songs that he acquired the sobriquet by which he was enerally Known. In his sober moments, while in jail, he was considered a very sensible person, and ‘was of great use in cases of Sickness, 4s he maiil- fested unremitting kindness in attending to the prison patients. Alfred Force, U. 8. N. The HERALD announced just lately, in its special correspondence, the fact that Commander Cros- man, U. 8. N., of the United States surveying ex- pedition, was drowned while crossing the bar at the mouth of the Colorado River, near Greytown. His boat was capsized in the surf. We are now in- formed that two boats sent to his assistance from the ship of war Kansas met the same fate, and that Master Alfred Forée and four men who went in them were also drowned. Master Forée was the son of Dr. from the ‘orée, of Louisville, Ky., and graduated | i7. His nited States Naval Academy i three years, returning in the Delaware a last November.

He endeared him- self to all who knew him well, and his loss will severely felt bya large circle of friends. W. seems to aggravate the case is that is friends very urgent for him to resign from the navy hattering business offers were made to induce hiin to do so; but love for his profession, despite its small emoluments, and affection for his companions in the service prevailed to retain him, Francis Ross, One of the most brilliant and most vasful of the early cheap press periodicals of Europe was the Dublin Penny Magazine, It was published foity years ago. Its editor was Francis Ross, 2 young Scotchman, who had given evidence of very con- siderable literary ability. His body has been found dead in Australia, under the most wretched circum- stances. When Ross edited the Dublin Penny Magazine a change in the ownership of the property left him at liberty and he went to London, where he was em- ployed on the publications of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.

His longest god appear to have been in the Beechworth and Mount, Gambier districts.» Here is the last sad record of one for whom a career of happiness and honor might at one time have been confidently predicted. We quote from the Hamilton (Australia) Spectator, of 81st January, 1872:—“An inquest was held last Sunday on the body of an old man, ascertained by some documents found in his pocket to be numed Ross, a schoolmaster recently occupied at Mr, Edols’ in tatoring that ntleman’s children, The body was found about five miles from Coleraine, on Ko- nongwootong, but in a very advanced state of de- composition, The appearance went to show that it must have been exposed to the hot winds, in an open gully, for atleast two or three weeks, and was shrivelled up and black.

AFFAIRS IN HAYTL ———+ Opening of the Chambers—President Saget's Mos- sage—A Herald Correspondent’s Interview with a Haytien Minister—The Al- leged Insult to the American Flag at Cape Hayti Explained. Sr. THOMAS, May 16, 1872. On the 25th April the National Assembly held their first session. President Saget delivered his mes- sage on the opening of the Chambers, touching on the principal events occurring during his Presi- dency. He called attention to the claim for the possession of the guano island of Narage, and anticipates a large revenue from that source. He proposes to take the initiative in the paper ques™ ton, and promises to bring forward a measure for its abolition. He says the financial state of the country was never better, and that now ia the time todo away with that curse to Hayti, the paper money, The rising at Cape Hayti he attributes to Baez, NO INSULT TO THE AMBRICAN FLAG. The Haytien administrator of finances passed through st. Thomas, and from him I learn the truth of the affair with the American Consul at Cape Hayti. It was first reported that the Consul had been dragged from his office, &c., &c., and it may interes: the HERALD readers to kn the truth. The Consul, as he styled himself, was merely a commercial agent; he hada room for his office, ina house occupied by a Haytien citizen, It ap! pears that, standing in the street, he saw this jay tion filibuster passing, guarded by a few men, and, asking him what was tie matter, was told “The government has arrested me.” He im- mediately grasped him by the hand and dragged him into the house, The officer of the guard reported to the commanding officer, who, instead of sending an armed force, as it was stated, despatched an officer with asearcit warrant, ‘his person did not enter the room devoted to the Consulate, but found his prisoner hiding in the lower part of the house. jc immediately took him away, when Mr. Gestrom, the commercial agent, declared that the American fag had been insulted, and hauled itdown, The French Consul foliowed suit, and declared that his fag might also be in- sulted, and lowered it. On representation at Port au Prince the French Consul General apologized for the conduct of the one at Cape Hayti, and Mr, | Bassett, on going to Cape Haytt and learning the truth, allowed the affair todrop; and so ended what appeared tobe at frst a most scandalous altair, MISCELLANEOUS. ‘The whole country is quiet.

The question of sine die adjournment of Congress 1s not positively decided yet, but no doubt exists that the session will be extended from the 22th of this month, as already agreed, until the 3d proximo, and it is barely possible that the 9thof June may be determined upon. It is quite probable that in elther event the Tax and Tariff bill and the several appropriation bills which have not yet been acted upon by the Senate, will be passed. The former comes up to-morrow as the special order of busi- ness, and will be considered until disposed of, The Ku Klux Biil in the House. An effort will be made to-morrow or next day in the House to reach the Ku Klux bill, which is at the bottom of the Speaker's table, by a direct vote to suspend the rules for the purpose of taking it up. The result is @ matter of doubt, but inasmuch as Mr. Blaine and other leading republicans are op_ posed to the bill, it is quite probable that the rules will not be suspended, Iiness of Congressman Cox.

William Welsh and other members of the Indian Commission leave St. Paul on Monday for an extended trip among the Indians of Dakota and Montana, adjacent to the line of the Northern Pacifle Railroad. The Commissioners have received a letter from the oficers of that road, in which they use the following language :— Whatever tho company can do {t will do to aid the general government and the various co-operat- ing societies in the humane and sensivle work of civilizing and elevating the Indian tribes of the Northwest, protecting them from fraud and abuse gad piving them both opportunity and inducement to adopt habits of industry and fixed abodes, To this end the company while building its road will give employment to as many as possible of those Indians who are willing to work; it will pur- chase or furnish a ready market for the surplus products of those who will raise cattle, open farms and till the soil on such reservations ag the govern- ment may allow them; it will promote the estab- lishment among them of schools and churches, and do what lies in its power to foster relations of peace. You are authorized to give these utterances to the tribes you visit, and to say that the Northern Pacific Railroad Company, in prosecuting its great and necessary work, is the Indians’ friend. Bailding Provisos of the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill. The bill making appropriations for sundry civil expenses contains a proviso that no money appro. priated by it shall be pald as commissions upon any labor or materials furnished to the Unitea States, and all materials for buildings or repairs of build- ings shail, after advertisement, be purchased in the city where the same shall be needed, whenever practicable; and aiso that no part of the money ap- propriated for erecting any public building shall be expended, except upon contracts duly entered nto in pursuance of advertising for proposals for the work and materials, and which contracts shall be let to the lowest bidder, who shall give bonds for the performance of the sald contract or contracts. But this provision shall only apply to public buila- ings under control of the Treasury Department. The Signal Bureau and the River Re- ports. The statement made some days since in a portion of the Western press that the river reports of the Signal Bureau were to be discontinued after the 1st of June is incorrect. Instead of being discontinued they are to be materially improved from that date, 80 as to render them of even greater value to the river interests than at present. Consular Recognition. The President has recognized Oscar Oldberg as Vice Consul of Sweden and NorWay at Memphis, Tenn. The Presidont of Costa Rica. Mr. J. P. O'Sullivan, who has just returned trom @ bricf visit to Central America, had an interview with President Grant yesterday, and delivered a verbal friendly message from General Guardia, President of Costa Rica, who contempiates visiting the United States in August next, he having already asked permission of the Legislature of that republic to absent himself from the country. General Guardia 1s progressive in his ideas, and re- presents the smallest, but most prosperous of the Central American States. President Grant said he would bo happy to receive that gentleman. This will mark a new era—the President of one republic visiting another in order to pay his respects and at the same time acquiring information which will be profitable to his own country. The United States Agricultural Society. The United States Agricultural Society has organ- ized by the election of Wilham G. Beckwith, of Michigan, for President, with a Vice President from each State, Frederick Smyth, of New Hampshire; John A. King, of New York; R. A. Furman, of Ne- braska; J. S. Coller, of Pennsylvania, and John Wentworth, of lilinois, now constitute the Execu- tive Committee, with Marshal P. Wilder, of Massa- chusetts; Tench Tigman, of Maryland, and Frede- rick Watts, of Pennsylvania, as a committee to in- vite State agricultural societies to send delegates to the next annual meeting in January, as provided in the act of incorporation granted by Congress. The society has now nearly one thousand life mem- bers in the different States. The Montana War Claims. Representative Donnan has made a report from the Committee on Military Affairs on the Montana war claims, in which it is said, from an examina- tion of his reports and from the testimony of Gen- erai Hardie, the committee are satisfied that very thorough and careful investigation has been given to this whole matter, and that, should Congress authorize the settlement of these accounts substan- tially upon the basis reported by General Hardie, after being carefully revised by the proper account- ing oMcers of the treasury, and requiring receipts in full from ali the claimants upon the payment of all such awards, the private intergsts of those per- sons who furnished propérty in good faith, under what they undoubtedly believed to be competent authority, will have been fully regarded, and the public interests faithfully protected The report of the Inspector General has received the full approval of the Secretary of War. The whole amount of awards up to the date of the report, March 11, 1872, is $45,650, upon $21,886 of the ag- gregate amount of claims. GERMAN OPERA AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIO, To-night Marschner’s pleasing opera of “Ivanhoe” willbe given at the Academy of Music with a strong cast. The recent successes of the managers of Italian opera, owing to the manner in which they presented opera, has had the effect of stimulating German managers to go and do likewise.

Towed Off and Prepared for Repair. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, May 26, 1872, . The North German Lloyd’s steamship Baltimore, injured in the collision of Hastings, has been! towed to Southampton, where she goes into dock for repairs, THE SEARCH FOR DR. LIVINGSTONE. ae [From the Montreal Herald, May 23.) A letter from Zanzibar to the New York HERALD seems to set at rest all doubts as to the safety of Dr. Livingstone. In one respect the experience of the illustrious travelier is unique, Probably no wanderer since Cain was sent forth as a vagabond over the face of the earth has been found, lost and found again, so often. The gratifying information comes necessarily by a circuitous channel. A pow- erful Arab chief who left Ujijion the 12th January, and reached the half-way station between that place and the coast on the 5th February, brought tafor- mation that an American gentleman, who there seems, no doubt was Mr, Stanley, the HenaLD correspondent, was at Ujijl, where he had met Dr. Livingstone, The news was at once forwarded to Zanzibar, whence {t was transmitted. No letters were sent, but this is explained by stating that the Arab chief who acted as courier had started out for a fight, and only worked round to Unyemwemba by accident in the course of his raid. This scrip of ii formation will only inflame the public curiosity in regard to th hereabouts of Livingstone, which t# how re-enfo, in the minds of all who care for en- terprise in journalism by a constantly growing in- terest in the fate of Staniey. [From the Mobile Telegraph, May 22.) The irrepressible HERALD man is reported by tele- graph yesterday to be within twenty days’ march of the great African explorer. True, in that space of time you might make the circuit of half the globe,’ and on the principle of “many a slip ’twixt cup and lip,” the Doctor might be broiled, roasted or stewed, eaten and digested too, long before this ink-splasher. can paint him, But twenty days’ march in a sig months’ tramp amounts at last to nothing, and ou may consider the nbiquitous traveller, who has oan dead and buried a half score of times, safely bagged at last by this Bohemian of the press, Seri-, ously, 80 many tales have been circulated as to the whereabouts of Dr. Livingstone that most people have come to regard hl as a myth or tgnis satuue which cannot be overtaken or located at all. We trust our New York Ajax of the eto may, indeed, have the honor of rescuing him from the deep sos tudes of his African imprisonment, [From the Cleveland (Ohio) Herald, May 24.] Dr. Livingstone has been heard from again. Om the ist ofJanuary he and the New York HERALD correspondent, Mr, Stanley, were at Ujiji. At leas® that Is what a rellable Arab told a trusty slave, who brought the news to Zanzibar when it was only three months old. Strange to say, the messenger brought no letters from Mr. Stanley or Dr. Living- stone, The reputation of the reliable Arabs and trusty slaves of that region ranks with that of the reliable gentlemen and intelligent contrabands who | e e Fe ured by Dr. goutheastward to the Ohio vallcy and Lake Brie by | Diseases ot the Feet) y brought remarkable stories into thé lines during “the late unpleasantness.” [From the Toronto Leader, May 23.) The HERALD, of New York, having organized a search for the great African traveller, 1s exulting in loud and jong shouts of triumph at the success which has crowned its meritorious efforts. Accord~ ing to the last intelligence Mr. Stanley and the Doctor were at Ujiji safe and well. Whether that despatch 1s strictly correct—for it came by a cir- cuitous and uncertain route—remains yet to be decided; but as it was carried @ great part of the land route to Zanzibar by a “faithful slave” of the Sheik Ben Nastb, there is the more reason for believing the good news to be true, be- cause floating rumors to the same effect had previ- ously been obtaining circulation and had been an- nounced in the Royai Geographical Society of Lon- don in letters from Dr. Kirk. But they were but rumors. The later reports, which all must hope to be authentic, will remove the painful doubts that have for so long been hanging over the fate of the great traveler, The thanks of the world at large are due to the HERALD of New York, for its course in the matter—a course which, we need hardly say, {s not one usually considered within the province of journalisin, Such is the intelligence that gives hope to the world that the great explorer, over whose sup- posed ill-fate two hemispheres have deeply mourned, is alive and well, and the great object for which he periled his safety has not failed. In rejoicing at the news and walting anxiously for its full assu- ming confirmation, we should be unjyst to the jour- nallstic enterprise cf America, that concetved and carried into successful execution a project so happy in its results, not only in the rescue and deliverance of Dr. Livingstone, butiu this contributious toscien- tifle and geographical knowledge, If we failed to pay due honor to the HERALD for its glorigus efforts to this end, Honorable indeed 1s {f to tie United States that, when the government of England shamefully refused assistance and encouragement to an expedition planned for the rescue of Dr. Livingstone, its own subject, and one in whose illustrious successes Englishmen profess such pro- found admiration, an American journal, at its own nse, undertook and started an expedition into ilds of Africa for his deliverance, "pied.
