Tux Otp Srony.—-Will the administration consider the result in North Carolina a ‘“bless- ing in disguise ?’’ If so, the fewer such bless- ings the better for the administration. Tar Lerrer or Gexerat Banks, giving his reasons for supporting Mr. Greeley against General Grant in this election, is a model of its kind. He exhibits nothing of personal bitterness or revenge in his letter ; but, ‘more in sorrow than in anger’’ against the admin- istration, he declares his belief that ‘the unity of the masses of the people of all par- ties, sections and races, in support of the | grand results of the war is now tendered to us in good faith, in the nomination of Mr. Greeley,’ and that, for one, he (General Banks) cannot reject this offer. He is grieved | to separate himself from old political friends ; but his line of duty is so clearly indicated | that he cannot disregard it. Thus, free from | all personal grievances against General Grant, we have, from the start, in General Banks, | a powerful ally of the supporters of Mr. Greeley. Now Is rue Time rox Generat Grant to “put his foot down'’ and proceed to initiate those reforms in his administration so long and so earnestly demanded by the people. Toe Rrversme Park.—The report of the last appointed Commissioners of Estimate and Assessment in the mat- ter of the Riverside Park wus yesterday confirmed by the Supreme Court, General Term. This park, as proposed to be laid out, will extend from Seventy-second strect to 130th street, with its western boundary on the Hudson River and its eastern boundary a wavy line vacillating between the Twelfth | and Eleventh avenues. ‘The boundaries thus | fixed are endorsed by the *Court, as also the area of axsexsment and the | amount, the latter aggregating about six millions of dollars. A like approval | is expressed of the awards to property owners | | his impressions were correct. We do not in- Doctor Livingstome’s Despatches—Earl Granvilie’s and Young Mr. Living- stome’s Letters of The to Mr. Stanley. In the Henaup of this morning will be found some most interesting documents rela- tive to the Heratp Livingstone Search Ex- pedition. There are three letters—one from Viscount Enfield, one from Earl Granville and a third from the son of Dr, Livingstone. In the name of Earl Granville Lord Enfield acknowledges the receipt of letters and docu- ments from Dr. Livingstone delivered by Mr. Stanley to Her Majesty's Ambassador at Paris for transmission to the Foreign Department, and thanks Mr. Stanley for taking charge of these interesting papers. As we have said, the second letter is from Earl Granville himself to Mr. Stanley. In this letter, as our readers will perceive, Earl Granville removes all doubt as to the authenticity of the delivered to Lord Lyons at Paris on the 31st of July. Earl Granville had never had doubts, but having been informed by Mr. Stanley that doubts had been expressed he had made full and diligent inquiry into the facts of the case. His Lordship’s answer is worthy of his clear head and his sound heart. Mr. Hammond, the Under Secretary of the Foreign Office, and Mr. Wyld, the Chief of the Consular and Slave Trade Department, had not the slightest doubt as to the genuineness “and authenticity of the documents received from Mr. Stanley through Lord Lyons. In addition, His Lordship is proud to take advantage of the opportunity afforded him to express his admiration of the qualities which had enabled our correspondent to achieve the object of his mission and to attain a result which had been hailed with so much enthusiasm both in the United States and in Great Britain. The third letter is from Dr. Livingstone’s son. Ais | have no doubt,’ he says, ‘that this is my futher's journal, and I certify that these letters which Mr. Stanley has brought home are my father's letters, and no other.’’ And while we write Mr. Stanley is the lion of London society, the honored and much courted guest of the best families in England. Such, then, are the facts. Human nature being as it is, it was no surprise to us to learn that even at the last moment, and in spite of proof which ought to have been irresistible, doubts were expressed regarding the success of the Heraup Livingstone Search Expedition. In view of great undertakings, it seems to be more natural for human nature to doubt than to believe, to discredit than to honor. The discovery of Dr. Livingstone was no doubt a great undertaking. The man had long been lost to civilization. The presumption was that the man was no more. If living, he was in a country unexplored, and among a people who were absolutely unknown. Toreach him, while it implied time, necessitated vast ex- pense and a fearful risk of human life. If Dr. Livingstone was tobe sought and found, it was surely a business that devolved on the Royal Geographical Society of London, which senthim out—a society notoriously rich and quite equal to undertake the work. Failing the Geo- graphical Society, it was surely the duty of the British government to equip and send forth an expedition in quest of the long-lost traveller. The supposed impossibility of the un- dertaking or the apparent certainty of failure, was, so far as we can judge, the reason which hindered the action of the Geographical Society, and we can con- ceive of no other reason which could hinder the action of the British government. No one can charge that government with being in- different to the interests of science or to the safety of its subjects. We have not yet for- gotten the Abyssinian expedition, its objects and its results. That expedition will remain a lasting glory to the British government and people; and when we remember that expedi- tion it is impossible to come to any other conclusion than this: that it was judged im- possible to find the man if alive, and unneces- sary to seek for him, if dead. Englishmen are not wanting in courage and | perseverance. There could no doubt have been found hundreds of men on the other side of the Atlantic who would have been willing to undertake the toil and hazard of a jonrney into the interior of Africa to search for their missing countryman. The love of adventure wonld probably have been sufficient in some instances to produce a Stanley on the other side of the Atlantic, but the account of Dr. Liv- ingstone’s death had been so circumstantially given that it does not appear to have ocourred to our British cousins to doubt its authenticity. In this we discover the differ- ence between Americans and Englishmen. The latter are more apt than the former to accept a story such as was told of Living- stone’s fate and to let the matter drop as a settled thing. An American would doubt and question and reason as to the probability of the tale, and end with discrediting it altogether. An Englishman would be apt to let the subject pass out of his mem- ory, while an American would think of it with a characteristic restlessness and with an irresistible inclination to prove that tend to say that every Englishman gave Dr. Livingstone up as a lost man, for there were many who believed him to be still living and who looked confidently for his eventual return. But with the large majority of the people the case was different, and the general idea prevailed that he had censed his travels within the proposed park limits—a subject, owing to the dissatixfaction of muny as to the awards allowed them, that wore | than anything else has induced to the | lengthy litigation in the courts. In its deci- | sion, which will be found in full elsewhere, the Court, as will be seen, has also passed upon the constitutional validity of the pro- | ceedings and overrnled the objections inter- | posed under this head. The effect of this | decision will be to yive an impetus to real | estate transactions in this vicinity, which, | while this matter was courts, extending over » period now of four | years, were completely nt a standstill. estate here, in fact, has during this time been | trembling in the balance.

It was not to be believed until Stanley himself returned; and now that Stapley has returned it has been found con- venient to question the genuineness of his despatches and the authenticity of the Living- stone letters. We have our triumph, and our doubting friends have their answer in the letters which we publish this morning. “Pass tHe Worp vor Massa Grant.’’— The word was passed through the negro lines in North Carolina, but somehow or other the command to ‘‘Halt!’’ brought Sambo to a sud- den standstill. The North Carolina Election—The Re sult Still in Doubt. Tho result of the North Carolina election is still in doubt, so far as the State ticket is con- cerned, although it seems to be coneeded on all sides that the democrats have secured a good majority of the State Legislature and probably a majority of the Congressmen. The reports differ so widely and, according to our special despatches from Raleigh, the returns come in so unsatisfactorily that it is impossible to make any calculation on the figures at present received. The republicans continue to declare the result less disastrous than their opponents represent, and Judge Settle tele- graphs to the Secretary of the Interior at Washington claiming his own election and that of four other republican Congressmen. On the other hand the reports at democratic headquarters in- dicate a certain democratic majority of from eight to ten thousand on the State ticket and the election of six Congressmen out of eight. If the Associated Press reports are correct the chances still favor the success of the democrats in the State by a small majority. It is at least certain that the contest has been a close one and that there has been a heavy republican loss in the State. The returns of the present election are compared with those of 1870, when the demo- cratic candidate for Attorney General was suc- cessful by about five thousand majority; but that was an exceptional result, and a fairer basis of comparison would be the last vote for Governor. when the republican majority was eighteen thousand. It may yet be several days before the result is known, and should the vote be very close the advantage will be with the republicans, who holdin their hands the machinery of the canvass and who keep possession of the returns. It is, how- ever, certain that, whatever the official figures may be, ‘the North Carolina election reads a lesson of warning to the administration, and shows clearly the necessity of a change of tac- ties before the great battle of the campaign is fought. “Frrepom SHRIEKED WHEN KoscivsKo Feuu.""—Will Senator Conkling explain whether Kosciusko fell in the late conflict in North Carolina or in some other portion of “American soil?"’ Mexican Affairs—Work for the New Executive. Though all testify Juarez, the Inte Mexican President, to have been » most able man and true patriot, it singularly happens that his death has brought peace to his distracted country. His disappearance from the scene was the signal for a cessation of hostilities by all the insurgent leaders, and our late de- spatches announce that his constitutional suc- cessor, Sefior Lerdo de Tejada, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, has issued a proclama- | tion of general amnesty, restoring to civil and political rights all who have recently been in arms against the federal authority. Tejada has the reputation of possessing rarc faculties for harmonizing conflicting interests and pacificating those who hold opposite opinions; he has great experience in Mexican public life and possesses in a large degree the confidence and esteem of his countrymen. It is to be devoutly hoped that during the interval before the election of a new President his wisdom, forbearance and patriotism may bring the nation into a more stable condition than it has presented for years. To dosohe will require to hold the reins of government with a strong and inflexible hand. He may wear the velvet glove of courteous conciliation, but beneath it must be iron muscles to control the selfishness and turbulence of the ambitious few and the ignorant many which form the Mexican popu- lation. He should especially keep a watchful eye and a firm check upon the military leaders who have made a trade of insurrection and grown rich through the chaotic condition ot their country. It is proved before the Froritier Commission sitting at Browns- ville that General Cortinas, a late commander of the forces of Juarez on the Rio Grande, was a wholesale cattle thief in uniform. His soldiers systematically entered the State of ‘Texas, and, stealing the cattle of our citi- zens by the thousand, drove them across the river for his benefit; and he is reported to have amassed a fortune from these thefts. Tejada will do well if he devotes early and careful attention to these charges against Cor- tinas and whoever else shall be proved to have been engaged in this double crime of theft and invasion of the territory of a friendly neighbor. The principal property of the ‘Texans in that section consists in their horses, their flocks and herds, which are pastured on the wide-rolling prairies, often at great dis- tance from the scattered towns. These have been stolen by outlaws from the Mexican side, by Mexican soldiers and by Indians under Mexican protection, till the wrong can be no longer borne. Onr troops along that bor- der are few. They can protect only a small portion of the frontier settlers from these pre- datory incursions. The cessation of insurrec- tion should enable the temporary executive to maintain order and repress further offences of this kind. And if he should find it convenient to hang the thieving General Cortinas it would probably be a just punishment for his crimes and a useful warning for others. Samo should be satisfied with Summer's declaration—‘‘The Equal Rights of AIL” If he attempts to soar higher, at the instigation of sordid-minded carpet-baggers, he may fail altogether. . i Tux Coorg Pzorie in the South should have the good sense to understand that their interests do not lie altogether with this or with | and then, for a time, doubt gave place to won. | that political party, but that the interests of Doubts have so often arisen and distrust has so frequently been ex- | the whites and blacks are both so intimately blended that to disintegrate one from the other The Geneva Tribunal—Progress of the Arbitration. ‘The Geneva Tribunal sits with closed doors, and the members thereof between the sittings are extremely reticent, and yet from time to time we have evidently authentic hints of the deliberations of the arbitrators which indicate their progress in the settlement of ourso-called Alabama claims. Our latest reports of these proceedings inform us that the English repre- sentatives have submitted to the Board a sup- plementary case, establishing, in the judgment of the signers, the fact that England faithfully executed her laws of neutrality in reference to the Alabama and her Anglo-Confederate cruisers, and that the American agents have put in an answer in which they claim that the conduct of England in the premises cannot be judged upon this plea of fidelity to her own laws regulating her duties and rights as a neutral, but that her liabilities in this business arise chiefly from the non-fulfilment of her obligations as defined by international law. In other words, assuming that the British agent, Lord Tenterden, has presented the sup- plementary case suggested, Mr Bancroft Davis, the United States agent, has responded that the local laws of England are superseded where they conflict with the higher law of the three rules of neutrality, adopted in the Treaty of Washington, not only as the supreme law of neutrality to the high contracting parties for the future, but as the law which shall govern the Genova Tribunal in the settlement of these Alabama claims. If England, after the years of discussion in which, upon this subject, she was fully answered by Mr. Adams, touching her innocence of any violations of her local laws of neutrality, has again fallen back upon this untenable plea, she virtually confesses that under the rules of the treaty she has no case, or that she is pleading the non-existence of these rules during the period in which her alleged offences were committed, for a mitiga- tion of damages. This begging of the ques- tion, we presume, however, will be, as it should be, entirely disregarded by the arbitra- tors, with the three rules before them by which they are to be guided. Indeed, the general statement is put forth that so clearly defined in the treaty are the jurisdiction of the tribunal and the principles for its guidance, that all grave questions in re- gard to England’s liabilities are settled, and that the arbitrators are now deliberating upon the details of the prospective adjustment—that is, the bill of damages fairly due the United States upon each of the cases of the Alabama, the Florida, the Shenandoah, &c., or upon all of them, lumping the costs in a general bill. It is surmised, too, that a final settlement is likely to be reached much sooner than has been generally expected, and we hope that this conjecture will prove correct. If the tribunal have agreed upon the general principles which shall apply to these Anglo-rebel cruisers against our commerce during our late civil war, however widely. these cases may differ from each other touching England's responsi- bility, there hardly remains anything more to do than the revision of the final settlement as to dollars and cents of the several bills pre- sented. Meantime the opinion at Washington, in the neighborhood of the State Department, tauching the probable sum of the indemnities that will be required from England appears to be that about twelve millions and a half of dollars will be the extreme limit to which the arbitration will be likely to go, and itis not expected to fall much below thatsum. This estimate, it seems, has been made from the reported action of the tribunal upon the case of the Florida. Tae Boston Traveller (Grant) growls sav- agely at Banks for deserting the old republi- can party and going for Greeley. How long is it since ‘coalition’ was the text word and shibboleth of certain democratic editors in Massachusetts? Spanish Project to Bolster Up the Finances of Cuba. It has been seen for some time past that the financial affairs of the island of Cuba were get- ting into a desperate condition. The notes of the Bank of Havana, which show how the credit of the Spanish government in Cuba stands, have long been at a discount and are tending all the time to further depreciation. The enormous cost of the war against the Cuban patriots has strained the capacity of both the colonial and home treasuries to the utmost. The destruction of property, reduced production, damage to commerce and the dif- ficulty of raising sufficient revenue in the island, caused by the war, have forced the Spanish government to extraordinary meas- ures for raising money. Our cable de- spatch from Madrid, pubKshed yester- day, informs us that when the Cortes reassembles in September the government will submit a project for a loan of sixty mil- lions of dollars, to be devoted to the improve- ment of the finances of Cuba. The bonds are to bear eight per cent interest, and a sinking fund is to be established for the cancellation of this debt. Of course the interest and sink- ing fund are to be drawn from the revenues of Cuba, as the despatch states, for Spanish finances and credit are at a lower dbb than those of Cuba, We think this proposed loan will be literally a sinking fund, for it will sink in the abyss of the civil war in the island, never to be seen again. The revenues of Cuba, as far as Spain is likely to have control of them in the future, will become less, probably, every day. It will be difficult to negotiate, we think, a loan of sixty millions on this basis, and, if even it can be negotiated, the terms must be of a ruinous character. It is, in fact, one of the last and desperate expedients of a power that is continually becoming weaker in Cuba. If Spain were wise she would go no further in debt to bolster up Cuban finances or in a __ hopeless attempt to perpetuate her rule over the island. Instead of raising a loan for such a purpose she might fill her depleted treasury by selling Cuba to the United States. In continuing the struggle with the patriot Cubans a vast debt is accumulating, which must prove disastrous to Spain, wherens, if the Spanish government would open its eyes to what is seen plainly by all the rest of the world—-to the fact that Cuba must, at no distant day, cease to be a colony of Spain—and would accept a hundred mil- lions or a hundred and fifty millions from this country for the island, it would be a great advantage to both Spaniards and Cubans. This is the best way to raise money, not, how- ever, to fight the Cubans, but to build up Spain at home and to restore her credit. The result would prove a blessing to humanity and to the commercial interests and progress of the world.

OFFICIAL REVIEW OF THR TIONS, R. Soogiwoora, ono of the Secretaries of the Em- bassy, who speaks English, made an address as fol- lows, in bebalf of the Embassy :— Ihave often heard people say that Poston is the brain of the American Union. By this I understand that your city is the point where the human mind has received the greatest attention and culture in the different departments of selence and of learning. It is, indeed, a great honor and a sincere pleasure for all connected with this Embassy to meet you here ag the representatives of a peo; whose fame has gone around the world; every- where known as a community who have reached a very high degree of distinction in the literary, the scientific, the mechanic and the eda- cational branches of civilization. It seems sneed- less to remind you that our country is much in- debted to yours for having induced us to open our ports to the external world. the result of which we feared at first, but now we lly ap- planeta It is. a blessing which as already brought us much advantage and from which we now hope for greater good. Under the wise advice of your country we now find ourselves moving in the right direction, taking steps to elevate and instruct our people, when otherwise we might have remained in ignorance of the actual condition of the world we live in, and never have realized the thousand good byt we are now acquiring since opening our coun’ foreign nations. Commodities o! have been exchanged in the interest of commerce, and our people have been actively engaged'in de- veloping our indastrial resources and mechanical arts. Prominent among our benefits has been the commerce of ideas, No longer inactive; new thoughts, heretofore unknown to our people, are constantly imported by our travellers and students who have been abroad. Our beloved country, old in years, is now cmereag with all the freshness and ardor of youth. Ol systems of administrations and primative modes of education are gradually changing and being largely replaced by those adopted from this noble land. A still more important result than any other is the steady removal of prejudice which is fading from the minds of the great masses of our people towards foreigners, and which was formerly achief obstacle to free and friendly intercourse with foreign nations. My best observation leads me to believe that to-day our people at large are’ beginning to understand their relations to- the world, and our great national wish is to gain and. reserve the sincere friendship of your people and hat of all progressive nations. All this favorable change and progress ae entirely due to what I have called commerce of ideas, to the development of which America has so largely contributed. The friendly sentiments so universally ex- pressed in this country towards our people appears to us a strong guarantee that our nations are designed to be the beat friends for- ever. We rejoice in the constant steam communi- cation you have already established across the Pacific, and shall eagerly welcome an ocean sub- marine cable, whenever laid, to unite us with our nearest neighbor, whose shores are washed by the waters of the great Pacific Ocean. We deeply regret that the time remaining at our disposal is 80 limited that we cannot monkee enjoy your kind hospitalities; but we are deepl; pressed with all we have seen, and shall, we assure you, carry full tidings of this splendid reception and these cordial greetings to our sovereign, through whom it will be made known to our people; giving them universal joy. THE MINISTER OF FINANCE. Jussammi T. Kido, one of the Ambassadors Ex- traordinary and Minister of Finance, also made a speech, returning thanks for his kind reception in this country and hoping for more intimate rela- tions between the two great nations. FOR THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT. Other speeches were made by Collector Russell, in response to Iwakura’s allusion to the President of the United States, by His Excellency Governor Washburn, Judge Hoar and Mayor Gaston, who in his oficial capacity welcomed them to the city of Boston, Ralph Waldo Emerson was also called and made a characteristic speech. Dr. 0. W.. Holmes read a witty poem, written especially for tne oc- casion, which was received with shouts of applause. The concluding speeches were made by the Japanese Minister resident at Washington, Secre- tary Boutwell, Hon Charles Walcott Brooks, Hon, Marshal P. Wilder and others. RM ALARM. The festivities closed about ten o'clock, after which, in order to give the visitors an idea of the efficiency of the Fire Department, Iwakura was allowed to strike the fire alarm, which calied.the engines and other apparatus of the Fire Depart- ment to Bowdoin re in an incredibly short time, and for half an hour or more'the square was filled with a curious crowd drawn together by the alarm.
