It marks the era in which the press, already powerful beyond the control of even the most exalted among men, who may hold states and empires in their grasp, strikes out boldly into new fields and treads daringly on terra incognita, whether of mind or matter. This is distinctively the work of the American press, whose aspirations and ambi- tions have, grown with the majesty of the land, and whose enterprise has been moulded on the national character. In even recent times the work of progress lay in government hands, or elso was wholly neglected. Sir John Franklin started out amid Polar snows to work out the question of the Northwest passage only to leave his bones among the eternal ice. Hand or foot was not stirred to learn his fate until Lady Franklin, with woman’s devotion, fitted out the expeditions to search for him or his remains. When the gentleman entrusted with the command of the Heraup expedition had arrived at Unyan- yembe, half way on his journey to Ujiji, he wrote:—‘Until I hear more of him, or the long-absent old man face to face, I bid you farewell; but wherever he is, be sure I shall not give up the chase. If alive, you shall hear what he has to say; if dead, I will find and bring his bones to you.’’ To those who neither understood the man nor the esprit de corps which gives the repre- sentative of an American journal his stamp of vitality the words may have sounded like bom- bast. For answer it is sufficient to point tothe columns of the Heraxp of to-day. Itmay have seemed to those who reasoned from a foreign standpoint that no man could so wrap himself up in his work as to give utterance to such words with an earnestness of pur- pose, backed by a life at hazard from day to day. They simply mistake the spirit of the American journal. If it were in any other quarter of the globe, by land or sea, the same enthusiasm, the same dash, enterprise and pluck would be exhibited, because of the race which he runs for his journal against equally keen-witted rivals, and not alone for the work itself. Enterprise, then, is the characteristic of the American press. It is confined to no one paper, to no one locality. Whatever the Heraip may have done in advancing the na- tional reputation in this respect, it is proud to claim, as the victor in the Olympic games of old was proud of his laurel crown above all gifts of gold or gems. But thereis not a paper published between the Narrows and the Golden Gate which has not see own poltroonery, as was hoped against hope when the baleful tidings first came to hand. The undaunted Livingstone then set forward and reached the Chambezi River, which he discovered has no connection with the Portuguese Zambesi River, which disembogues into the Mozambique Chan- nel opposite Madagascar. But the gem of his discovery lies in the fact that the Chambezi is the true scource of the Nile. He followed its course for seven hundred miles towards its source, but was obliged to turn back in want, with one hundred and eighty miles unexplored. The Chambezi towards its source is called the Lualaba, and is not supplied from Lake Tanganyika, and the latter lake has no effluence to the Nile. To solve the problem of the Lualaba and pass round the northern shore of Lake Tanganyika Livingstone purposes spend- its owns laurels in the line of enter- prise to glory in, and there is not one leaf of the wreath that has not been snatched at and wrestled for by a hundred sinewy jour- ‘The map of Equatorial Africa which we pub- lish to-day . 1 attract universal attention on account of the special news intelligence which accompanies it assuring the people of Living- stone's safety.

It sets forth also the course of travel which was | observed by the commander of the Henatp Special Search corps commissioned to find Livingstone previous to Mr. Stanley meeting | nalistic minds. Thus no one journal on the Continent looks up to a permanent head of the profession. To-day one paper may be “ahead on the news ;”” to-morrow another will snatch the chaplet from its brows. The en- terprise of a contemporary in the late Franco- Prussian war was celebrated all over the land, as we have no doubt the success of the Heraup will be when the Henatp’s special columns | are perused to-day. with the explorer. The point of Stanley's de- parture into the interior wilderness where it was presumed that he himself had becn lost or perished is presented, as is that of his triumph over native armed attack. ‘Then, again, we have Zanzibar, Unyanyembe ohd Ujiji, spots now so well known to civiliza- tion that the two last-named places promise to Decome the radiating centres of a new light for the aged and hitherto darkened land.

The Daily Telegraph is the cheapest, spiciest paper published there; the Standard is a careful, able tory organ; the Post is a quiet, aristocratic shect, but the Thunderer over- shadows them all. Instinct with the demo- nows. cratic spirit of our institutions, the press of America looks up to no | lord among them. As each man born ‘on the soil may be President of | | the United States, so each paper—no matter | what its origin or where its birthplace—feels within itself the possibility of precedence in point of worth, brains and news over | all others. We, therefore, reassert that the triumph of the Heratp Livingstone expedition is the triumph of American jour- nalism in its broadest sense. To point this gomething more we may yesterday by large majority, asking for a | holiday July 5 and 6 (in extension of that of July 4). The matter was referred to the Gov- erning Committee (whose name implies their powers), and, after ample discussion, a deci- sion was reached, refusing the application of the members. Thus the brokers, who thought fo make a formal of what will doubtless prove | & practical holiday, will have to awume all the possible penalties of prolonging their celcbra- tion of the glorious Fourth. Parrcu Fexavo on tee Powseuax Ixpem- wary Parent The plan of Prussian evacu- ation of the hostaged territory of France, as arranged by treaty between the French and German governments, was submitted to the Versailles Legislature yesterday. It was not by any means satisfactory to the re- publican Parliament. The French think that they perceive that Prussia retains the right of « full army occupation anti] ber war bond is completely discharzed in cash. The Minister of Finance did not pro- pose his project of « new loan for the payment of the indemnity. France may rest assured, as M. Thiers well knows from history, that it is exceedingly difficult to remove the iron heel ‘@ conqueror, and harder still to efface the marks of its impress from @ war-haaten soil. Q say that an American war correspondent has achieved what one of the most pow- erful governments in the world failed to accomplish, How it was done is easily told. It is probable that an Eng- lish journal might have succeeded, if it had undertaken the task; but, like Columbus with the egg, the enterprise which knocked in the end of the oval difficulty and made the expedition stand for itsclf is not a British article. ‘The story of the meeting of the greatest ex- plorer of any time with the Hzraxp corre- 8 ent, by the shores of Lake Tanganyika, with thousand miles of jungle, jagged mountain path and sodden valley trail, peopled with brutal, ignorant savages, behind him, is one which will long be remembered. The Henatp cor- respondent has kept his word. Happily for | civilization there was no necessity to carry back to distant civilization the relics of her one desert, ing two years moro in Central Africa. Truly this is great news, and we congratulate the that neither the life nor the toilings of so great a man is lost to the world, as the fates seemed so grimly to threaten. The story of his solitary land-finding will now be read by joyful mil- lions, who, if they cannot all appreciate fully his labors, will not grudge him the tribute of lasting admiration. world The Fisk Marder Trial. The tenth day’s proceedings of this remark- able trial abound in even a greater degree with that sensationalism which characterized the investigation on the previous sittings of the Court, and which, indeed, has been associated with the affair from the beginning. Although the gist of the whole case has already been told, the surging crowd gathered in Oyer and Terminer Chambers yesterday, patiently en- dured the oppressive atmosphere and seemed well rewarded on hearing certain stories detailed by the different witnesses for the prosecution. The statement of Corley, who described the weapon handed to him by Miss Hall os a nice, beautiful, glitter- ing pistol, shining in silver, and gave other testimony in a novel and exciting style, only whetted the appetite of the curious crowd. But the testimony does not show that either of the witnesses identified the revolver. The negro valet was perhaps the most interest- ing witness yet produced. Not only did he appear to puzzle the defending counsel by his cool and collected manner, showing to a cer- tain extent the preparations he had made for the ordeal, but took a delight in exhibiting for the edification of the Court and jury the vari- ous articles of blood-stained apparel stripped from the body of the murdered man. He could detail exactly what the Colonel wore on the occasion, and therefore had no difficulty in explaining the hole here and the 4lit there caused by the bullets before entering his em- ployer’s body. There certainly appeared to be some doubt in the mind of this wit- ness with reference to deadly weapons being carried by Fisk, but that might be the result of his ignorance of the matter, which he might not desire to reveal to the Court, espe- cially as he had stated he received a considera- ble salary in consideration of his alleged confidential services. The counsel for the defence were evidently watching this witness closely. It is expected that the testimony for the prosecution will end to-day. The most painful and exciting testimony may be pro- duced by the defence; and, if the effort to place upon the stand the woman whose name has been so intimately connected with the murdered man and the prisoner at the bar is successful, the crowd of lounging sensation mongers may yet be in possession of tea- table scandal which will suffice them for leading conversational topics for many years to come. The American Flag Hoisted in the Wilds of Africa. ‘The Heratp special telegram from London, NEW YORK HERALD, TUESDAY, JULY 2, 1872—TRIPLE SHEET. ‘The Climate of the Pole. This interesting subject, so refreshing in the present hot weather, has been greatly illumi- nated by recent Arctic researches, The Hydro- graphic Office at Washington will shortly publish the fullest and latest information furnished by the German explorers, and translated from their reports by Mr. E. R. Knorn, which serves to correct the prevailing notions of geographers, who until now have blindly followed the authority of Scoresby and the oldest navigators, The discoveries of Payer and Weyprecht of an open and navigable sea east of Spitzbergen, have completely over- thrown the idea so commonly entertained of what had been called ‘‘an icy bulwark built for eternity,’’ and believed to form a cordon around the Pole, as low as the latitude of seventy-five and a half degrees north. Scoresby, in his account of the climate of Spitzbergen, in 1820, represented it as “more disagreeable to human feeling than that of any country yet discovered."’ Whether the experience of this commander was pecu- liarly and abnormally severe it does not ap- pear from his narrative. But it is not in har- mony with that of the English navigator, Buchan, who surveyed Magdalena Bay in Spitzbergen in 1818, and represents it quite differently. While on its shores Buchan ob- served millions of the feathery tribe in August, and estimated the number of birds seen at one time on the wing at over four millions. He was greatly surprised at the meteorological con- ditions of this region, and was particularly “struck with the brilliancy of the atmosphere, the peaceful novelty of the scene and the grandeur of the various objects’ with which nature had stored these unfrequented latitudes. The late Swedish expedition very strongly confirms the latter view, and boldly declares that there exists ‘‘no healthier spot on the globe, and, to the human body, more beneficial summer climate than that of Spitzbergen.’’ They assert that throughout the three summers which they spent in the vicinity not a single case of catarrh, diarrhoea, fever or any sickness what- ever occurred on the ships of the expedition, and they assert their conviction that physi- cians will send their sick to the high north to recuperate health and strength. The report of the charming voyage of Lord Dufferin, in the yacht Foam, some years ago, and the now in- creasingly frequent cruises for sport and pleas- ure of the English to Spitzbergen, during the trying summers of hot European latitudes, suggested to the Swedes the multiplication of steamer excursions to that region and the building of a summer hotel, similar to that on the summit of the Alps, upon the land of the “midnight sun.”” It might be a bold experiment in medical meteorology, but one worth making, for our physicians to send some of their patients inclined to a pulmonary disease to a climate in which the breathing is far more free and unrestrained than in Central and Southern Sweden, and where, by the tes- timony of those explorers, there are no com- plaints of the chest, and their crew experienced not one case of cold or of cough. It appears from the admirable paper trans- lated and published by the Hydrographic Office which we print to-day, not only places the safety of Dr. Livingstone beyond all manner of doubt, but announces also the grand fact of the hoisting of the American flag in the wilds of Africa by the commander of our search expedition commissioned to find him. The reader will perceive from the despatch the very great danger ‘which Mr. Stanley and his followers encountered in conse- quence of the hostile demonstration which was made by the natives against Unyanyembe. He will see, at the same time, the energy which was displayed in its defence by other natives, acting under the inspiration of American energy, and made suddenly confident for the assertion of right by the example of the stranger. This very act constitutes in itself an initial for the real, positive commencement of the work of civiliza- tion in Africa. This initial was taken under shelter of a grand assurance of success. The American flag was displayed by our explorer, in face of the advancing enemy, over the heads of the people whose lives were threatened. Mirambo, the attacking party, retired. In- stinct warned him of his danger; prompted him, perhaps, to admiration of the deed, thus eliciting, it may be, ‘the very one and only spark of humanity implanted in his heart by the Creator, but of the glow and warmth of which he had hitherto remained ignorant. Such is the emblem of the modern Christian crusade under the lead of the great newspaper press. Itis the accomplishment, as well as the foreshadowing of the work of peaceful civilization in the future. Contrast it with the progress of the Crusaders in the Holy Land. Humanity must admire its superiority | in the mode of progress. Place our special record pf to-day from Africa side by side with the history of the British advance in Asia under Warren Hastings. Stanley, with his simple flag, starred with the symbols of liberty and union and hope. Hastings, with his blood- red banner of conquest, division of caste, and | general despair. The voice of mankind will proclaim the difference, and the world accept anew era, giving pledges for the baptism of hero. _ He is alive and oll. and yet unconverted peoples. that the journals of not less than thirteen cruisers of last year to the high north corrob- orate the conclusion here given f a mild Arctic summer climate. Dr. Petermann argues that if Parry, in 1827, could, even in the very throat of the Polar Stream, penetrate nearly to the eighty-third parallel, the steam ves- sels lately dispatched will be able to advance much further in the direction of the eastern and northern extension of the Gulf Stream. The entire subject of polar research is ably and fully treated in the official publication of the Hydrographic Office (‘The Easterly and Northerly Extension of the Gulf Stream’) accessible to all. The Poor Dogs of New York. Some scientist in dogology has discovered that the practice of muzzling dogs, according to municipal ordinance, in the hot season, has a tendency to produce the evil it is intended to prevent. It is, besides, a cruel thing, and the whole of caninedom is justified in getting mad about it. Now, who will come to the succor of poor doggy in this crisis? Who will unmuzzle poor ae Blanche and Sweetheart, Little dogs and all? It has been often asserted (we make the statement without fear of contradiction) that “every dog has his day,"’ and the poets have been frequently obliged to call upon the canine animal for material to work up some thrilling or affecting period. For example, there is the plaintive ditty: — Poor dog Tray, ever faithful, Grief cannot drive him away; He is gentle, he is kind, (We forget the other ine). Poor dog Tray, &¢., &c. This was the favorite ballad sung at all the quilting and apple-paring parties in New Eng- land for many years. The lofty Byron even did not disdain to whistle for Bruno in producing some of his most pleasant Jines—to wit: — ‘Tis sweet to hear the honest watchdog’s bark Bay, deep-mouthed welcome as we draw near itis sweet to know there is an eye will mark Our coming, and look brighter when we come. And does not the immortal Bard of Avon make one of his most humorous scenes in the play of the ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona” occur between Launce and his plebeian cur, ‘ during which Launce willingly receives upon his own shoulders a cudgelling which should rightly have been bestowed upon his curship? Quoth Launce, apologetically for “Crab! :—"'T would have, as one should say, one that takes upon him to be a dog indeed, to be, as it were, adog in all things.” Here was a noble de- fence for the poor mongrel which some of the dog-pounders and dog-muzzlers of the pres- ent day might profit by. And, furthermore, does not Shakspeare make the bloodthirsty King Richard the Third, after sending the soul of the lamented Henry the Sixth Down, down to hell with a special despatch in these words: ~ And say I sent thee thither, draw forth his ensangnined weapon from the body of the dead King, and, gazing upon the drops of gore as they fall from it, ex- claim :— Ghar ino whn'Tno downfall of our house ? 'To be sure he does. Hence we have ample pre- cedent, based upon the highest poetical author- ity, that dogs have rights which human beings are bound to respect. Who, then, we repeat, will come to the relief of poor doggy in this emergency, when the poor animal drags his alow length alone through the atrecta. filled. like » Ku Klux shotgun, to the muzzle? Who will prove the philanthropic Launce to the melancholy “Crabs” of our city? Who, we ask, will assume this task? And we'reply, without hesitation, Bergh! Here is an oppor- tunity for “Old Humanity” to exercise his vocation as President of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in the right direction. Let him make a crusade against the dog-muzzling ordinance; let him go into the business with a will and determination to succeed; let him leave pigeon shooting, cruelty to green turtles, boiling shell fish alive, killing veal by slow bleeding, scalding live hogs for their bristles, cutting the eyes out of live oysters and all such small matters alone for the present and devote his energies to relieving caninedom of the monstrous tyranny and excruciating torture now imposed upon it. Success, we believe, will crown his efforts ; and then, after having accomplished this great good, let him go to work and unmuzzle the partisan press, for rabid symptoms are already beginning to appear among them—already some of them are frothing at the mouth like sparkling champagne just uncorked, and if the Baltimore Convention were not so near the most frightful consequences might be apprehended. The Greeleyphobia would be a terrible distemper if permitted to extend much further. So, then, let Bergh first unmuzzle the dogs, then unmuzzle the partisan press, and then ‘et slip the dogs of war."’ We might say. something in conclusion about muzzling the women’s rights movement. But it would be a difficult undertaking. Women are proverbial talkers, and they always want muslin’, Livingstone om the Source and Course of the Nile, The Heratp special telegraph letter which narrates the event of the meeting between Mr. Stanley, the commander of our search expedi- tion in Africa, and Dr. Livingstone, conveys at the same moment the very first personal ex- pression of the great explorer respecting the source of the River Nile, that long-disputed subject, which has been at times considered as a permanent blur in the path of science. Liv- ingstone was beaming all over with smiles; refreshed by the genius of a new enlighten- ment. He told Stanley how he had crossed the river Chambezi, and found it to be wholly separate from the Zambezi of the Portuguese maps. Going further, he discovered that it was called Lualaba, and after travelling a distance of seven hundred miles, still onward, became assured that Chambezi is ‘doubtless the source of the Nile.” He found that the Nile River is two thousand six hundred miles in length, and that it is not supplied by the affluent of Lake Tanganyika. From his point of positive observation, after exploring the surrounding territory, Livingstone was compelled to return to Ujiji. What wonderful news he communi- cates to the world through the newspaper press to-day! The water system of the Nile, that anomaly among rivers, made plain, and the source of the periodical fertilizer of the sandy deserts which surround it laid patent before the eyes of our school children. The Foreign Artists Quitting the Bos- ton Panjandrum for New York. Not one of the least unpleasant features about the Pandemonium on Boston Back Bay was the impression of America likely to be produced on the minds of the distinguished European artists there—an impression any- thing but favorable. The bands, for instance, were induced to come here thinking that they were to participate in a genuine musical jubi- lee in a representative American city. They found out their mistake in a very short time, and were they now to return to their homes they would remain in as complete ignorance of America and its grandeur as if they had never crossed the ocean. The little, vain, fussy vil- lage where they have been forced to dwell for the past fortnight will afford them little knowl- edge of the greatness of our institutions. Therefore it will be gratifying to learn that Strauss and Leutner, and probably one of the three great representative bands, will appear in a week or so at the Academy of Music and give a few promenade concerts, with the lady's marvellous voice as a novel feature. Then the Prussian Grenadier Band will play on Sat- urday next at Jones’ Wood, and the Garde Repubhicaine Band, after their visit to Chicago, will undoubtedly make a short stay in the metropolis to give an appreciative and intelligent public a specimen of their unrivalled powers, which have been too long wasted upon the bucolic visitors to the Boston barn and the impecunious crowds on the fence outside. Madame Arabella Goddard, whose fame as a pianist is world wide, will forget in New York and its cultured society the treatment she re- ceived at Back Bay and the nondescript in- strument called the ‘Jubilee Piano.” All these artists will then return to Europe with a more favorable idea of the great republic than they gained at the unwieldy Yankee show. By all means let them come to the metropolis. An Enormous Production and Con- sumption of Whiskey. We learn by an official statement of the In- ternal Revenue office that the number of dis- tilleriesat work in this country is two hun- dred and fifteen, and that their daily capacity is two hundred ond seventeen thousand six hundred and eighty-two gallons. Reckoning the whole voting population in round numbers at five millions, this would be over a third of a pint of spirits a day for cach male adult in the Jnited States. This is nearly all whiskey, for the proportion of other spirits distilled is small, comparatively. Admitting that the women and male youngsters under age drink some, there are as an offset to these a vast number of men who never drink spirits. Nor is the amount exported to other countries consider- able. At the rate of production as stated above, one million seven hundred and forty- one thousand four hundred and fifty-six pints a day, we may calculate a half pint daily on an average for every moderate drinker and toper. There is, no doubt, a great deal manu- factured in small quantities and secretly, ina domestic way, in addition to this vast | production of the tax-paying distilleries. Who will say, after this exhibit, that the Americans are not a whiskey-drinking people? After the 1st of Angust the tax will be seventy cents a gallon. If the production keeps up to the present amount that will give over a hundred and fifty thousand dollars a day revenue to the government, or at the rate of nearly fifty mil- lions a year. This good at least will result from such an enormous consumption of home- ENGLAND. American Preparations for the Fourth of July Fetes, Miss Nellie Grant’s Visit to the House of Peers— An Arbitrator from Geneva at His Post-Extra-Legislative Opinion of the Alabama Case. TELEGRAM TO THE #EW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, July 1, 1872, Arrangements have been made by the American Club, of Liverpool, for a fine celebration of the Fourth of July in that city. The Bishop of Manches- ter, the Dean of Chester, Mr. John Bright and Mr. Rathbone have been invited to attend a public dinner to be given on the occasion. AN ARBITRATOR FROM GENEVA. Sir Roundell Palmer resumed his seat in the House of Commons yesterday. THE RELATIONS WITH AMERICA. Mr. Russell Gurney addressed his constituents i@ Southampton last night, He spoke warmly of the character of the Americans, who, he said, were de- Sirous of preserving friendly relations with England. He thought an interchange of visite between the two countries was advisable. He cared not whether England was required by the arbitrators at Geneva to pay two or three millions more or less; but it was necessary that both nations should feel that justice had been done and their disputes honorably settled, * MISS NELLIE GRANT'S VISIT TO THE PRERS.
