Democrats Looking Congreseward, Liberals Fighting Against a Self-Constituted Bete Noire and Radicals Wary and Weaving a Web for Their “United” Brethren—A Fear- fal Mixture of Men and Matters. New ORLzANS, July 61, 1872, ‘The political muddle in this State thickens and @erkens. Where in other States rapidly developing events have served harmonize conficting ele- Wents, here they have been worse jangled ont of tune. Our political garment is worn threadbare, and every attempt to sew up one rent tears out a @ozen others. The fact is, Bourbonism, in a greater or less degree, is becoming as mueh @ prominent wharacterietic of the Southern people as their dark eyes and bronzed complexions, We cannot as yet be brought to a proper sense of discrimination be- tween progress and iconocilasm. Every deviation from the faith of our fathers is held a treason. We Bre impatient of argument, deaf to reason, and de- mounce the lapse from grace before it has time to @raw breath in its own defence. But this impracticability is not to be utterly condemned. It is the offspring of a high sense of honor and of a long period of misfortunes, For- giving your enemies is a very beautiful docftine to preach, but a very dificult one to perform, par- ticularly where we have found these enemies as treacherous, oppressive and unfeeling as they have Proved themselves to be in this State. If it were not 80 THE PEOPLE OF LOUISIANA ‘would doubtless exhibit as much intelligence and Placability in dealing with political affairs as the People of the Northern States. As it is they do mot, They are obstinate, but with sincerity. They are resentful, but under a deep sacnse of injury. They are impolitic, but with a due regard to esteemed principles. They are intractable, but Rave no lack of patriotism. In short, they are Bourbonistic, because they refused to make the sacrifice that every step forward in politics, of what. ever nature, inevitably entails, and consequently hold on with desperation to the little starved and ying bird in hand rather than take their chances in ag bush full of attractive singers, You will, of course, see that the political revolution which has just swept ‘the North like a whirlwind must craw! as slowly as 8 tortoise through the cotton and cane flelds of the South, and you can thus readily understand the utterly demoralized condition of our present politi- cal relations. THE DEMOCRATS. Up to the mecting of the Baltimore Convention the prevailing sentiment with the democratic masses ‘was in favor of straight-out nominations, The birth ef the liberal party at that time, mainly composed of the irreconcileables of both great parties, stag- gered them for a while, and they became reticent, but from nd love of the new dispensation, which, when endorsed at Baltimore, was swallowed as the bitterest of pills. The leaders who are almost to a man hungering for office, thereupon determined to make a stiuggle for supremacy. True, they had nominated a straight out democratic State ticket ft the June Convention, which fell stillborn among Fhe People, but they did not despair; they had yet the old Yankee-hating Confederate element; py still had all the war prejudices to revive, and }, it must be confessed, a terrible record of wan- tonness, oppression and éxtravagance in tie late peminene on of the Hrate government to appeal to. Armed with thése they summoned fhe chicis of tely Scorned reform party to a conference, and right morning, about three weeks ago, nung @ new banner to the breeze in shape of a ticket made up of both parties, under the title of the “United State ticket.” With this they have since been energetically canvassing the State in op = iM ition to the libera! = movement, which flourishing like a green bay treo in gpite of it. The theory of the democratic 7, which now supports this mongrel ticket is, at the true interests of the South lie in keepin; national and State poktics separate, and tha’ while they support Gresley and Brown, because it was s0 decided at Baltimore, they intend to “keep the corpse,” or rather maintain the old, mouldy or- ganization, in this State intact and unimpaired for ever, They are consequently, you perceive, thrown Se in antagonism with the new liberal part. born Of and supporting Greeley and Brown, and, itke all family quarrels, this is ten times more bitter and virulent than any ever waged with the common eneiny. It has had no parallel for malignancy since the war. In numbers they are mot hear so strong as the liberals, what strength they have being principally confined to the city; but — more than make this up in noise and energy, and, at allevents, will succeed in wielding an im- psa) if not paramount influence over the de- berations of the approaching Liberal Convention. THE LIBERALS, As there is no rose without its thorn, so there 1s poe we without its Mephistopholes—its béte noire— and this the new liberal party finds in Governor Warmoth. Far more astute, far seeing and politic than any rival politician or politicians in the State, he anticipated the grand political disruption of to-day ae before the democratic leaders ever dreamed of it, and, as you know, took such a prominent rt in Mr. Greeley’s nomination at Cincinnati as become the virtual head of the party in his tate, The unpalatable result has been that every- joining the new organization has had to swallow him with more or less reservation, All the ible eople of the State, outside the stanch old Bourbon element, saw piainly that ite true interests lay in the espousal of Mr. Greeley’s cause, and had Warmoth been out of the way even the latter would have been swept into it by the heer force of public opinion. But he ts known to ‘be a candidate for renomination, backed up bya strong power; he was also known to be bitter! hostile to his old enemies, and they could not thin! of surrendering the leadership to him or his friends, As a private in the liberal ranks with themselves in the lead, the arrangement would have been eageriy ratified. As it is, the war is to U’outrance, THE GROWTH OF THE LIBERAL PARTY from the inception t desoribed fag heen wonder.

While the democrats and liberals are doing the Fadical cause good service in tearing one another to pleces, the latter have determined not to spoil the sport, and therefore keep vory quiet. Outside the committees and councils scarcely a ripple of excitement appears upon tle surface, and affairs are, therefore, highly propitious towards healing the split in the party created by the Baton Rouge nomination.

Reports of sections from different parts of the United States were read, going to prove that more than the ugual interest is taken by the people of the towns, villages and country, Several communications were received asking for informa- tion abont tne society, and how to organize sec- tions. It was stated that efforts should be made for the purpose of leasing er buying & spacious hall in & central location of the city, in which they could have amusements of different kinds, and thereby combine pleasure with business, No action was taken on the matter. The following address was then read, unanimously adopted, and also decided that 6,000 copies, in “pamplet form,” be printed and aistributed among the different trades societies and the people of the United Statés im general:— ADDRES3 OF THE AMERICAN FEDERAL COUNCIL OF ‘THE INTERNATIONAL WORKINGMEN’S ASSOCIATION, To tux Working Men anv Women ov tax Unirep Sratks—The duty of preparing an address to the work- ing men and women of the United States has been im- oxed upen us by the first Congress of the American In- Ternational Workingmen’s Association, which was held in Philadelphia on the 8th, 9th and 10th ultimo. We ac- cordingly proceed to periorm this duty as well and brictly as we may. The International Week ne aiet Association is, in Jnion ekiog by industrial reall y,a World's Trade Union, organization and political insteumentalities to effect tho-e industrial and social changesin the subsisting re- lations of employers aud employes which aro enable to the emancipaticn of labor, Its. purpore, Jeerefore. is not merely the attainment of a little more to pertorm the dail classes, (so-called) ‘ikers, &c., though hese agencies must not be neglected, as tey are often alternative by which even any amelioration of the coudition of the laborer may be sceured; but it in- volves stich @ transiormation of the relations’ of capital ists and laborers that both of these parties to production and distribution may consi:t of the same persons, and labor control, a8 it ought, the affairs of the civilized world. ‘The tnternational Workingmen's Association, however, unlike ordinary trates unions of special vocations, ea: clude nobody ifom membership. All persons are cligib Employers and employes, all. professions and all classes, all nect npon the same plattorm and tozether seek the accomplishment of the same common objects. The asso- ciation, theretore, {8 not called “workingmen’s” in any sense which declares the co-operation of anybody ; on the contrary it invites the co-operation of ‘sll men and yomen ‘as necessary to its success; and it ls denominated “workingmen’s” stinply and solely because its great aim is the emansipa Han ot the working classes, mal id fe- male, industrially aud socially, by the attainment of po- litical power. Kunning all throagh the official procced- {ngs of the several General Consresses of the association this purpose is everywhere apparent and ts inflexibly ad- hered to, Among those objects which have received the approbation of the several Congresses the most important are — 2 t—The nationalization of land and of the instrn- ents of production. This means the substitution of the State, or the whole of society, for the private capitalist in the employment of labor upon the farm, in the workshop and on the road and on the seas, or in the transportation ag well as production of commoilities, ‘Sccod—the nationalization of money or the medium of exchange. This means that the currency shall be issued only by government, without interest, to the persons who fave cniitied themselves to its use by the eervices they may have rendered, of which it is at once the evidence and the means of securing their reward, Third—Tho nationalization of education. This means bend education shell be free for all, compulsory, scientific and secular. An ~~ e Fourth—Universal peace and the obliteration of all dis- tinctions of class, race and religion. . Now, there are two ways by which these objects may be effected -—Fitst, by industrial co-operation or business pertnershipg, which nas been the method from tine méinorial, and would, if no other means were resorted to, still require centuries for its completion; and, sec- otdiy, by political action, which is a power that, under our form of government, may be at once successfull, applied, through the instrumentality of a universal organization, by primary eleciion districts and mui pal, State and national eet ee qe WH, reorga ing the popular initiative and based lifon t dum such as that we propose to institute. This would indeed be a complete supervision of capitalistic spoliation by proictarian justice. Ii, however, it be objected to tho above statement of the objects and measures of the Inter- national Working Men’s Arsociation that it depends too much upon the efiiclency of governmental agency; that there is already too much govern ment; that profits, interest and rent—that trinity of evils from ‘which nearly all the poverty and misery which attlict the working classes proceed—originate ‘in class legislation, and that the true remedy is less government, we reply that even that remedy can only be applied b concerted action or organization, which is government So that in the very effort to get rid of government a new one must be substituted in the place of the old, and that if Class legislation of the kind referred to be the erying evil of our Jorm of government, then it is indeed lilgh time that rnment Were transformed from an aris- rivileged classes to a democracy of equal tel- 5 3 and the very first steps to be taken in effect- ing this transformation is to organize in such a manner that no acts of the national, Stato or municipal gislatures can become laws ‘until they have been iited to the people avd duly approved ‘by a majority ay and a litile less time in which Iavors devolving upon the workin instrumentality of through the @ £5 S Tey a thereot, as proposed by the American Federation of the International Workingmen’s Association, wider the head of the referendum. If, as we believe, it were possible through the government thus transformed that labor coukl be more equally divided and its products more equitably distribuced, in such a manner that the. kind, de- gree and reward of labor conld be adjusted tothe d sition, abilities and wantsof the laborer, and all persons find employment, a greater degree of happiness must of necessity result tothe working classes than they now en- joy from the, mercenary and menial character of the yelations enbsisting between them and their employers, There would at least be freedom from the harassing cases attending want and the fear of want, and almshouses and prisons wottld be less or, no longer needed. Fellow citizens, male and female, of the United States, we curnestly enttoat you to give theso matters your serious consideration, and take action. thereupon with- ont unnecessary delay. The plan of organization is simple, Wherever you may bo, in_ any primary election district, there form i section of International Work- ingmen’s Association. tis only necessary that you sub- scribe a decinration that you acecpt and will deiend the rinciples of the International Workingmen’s Associa. ion.

The French Internationals held a meeting yester- day at 100 Prince street, Citizen Charnier presiding. The treasurer read his report, showing the Society to be in a healthy condition. The delegate ap- pointed last Thursday night to attend the Congress in Holland stated that he could not attend. Per- mission was then asked and granted to the Secre- tary of the Forsyth Street Federal Council to read a communication from the aforesaid body, the purport of which was, that delegates were appointed by the aforesaid Council to attend the Universal Con- gress, and that an assessment of fifty cents per man was expected to be paid for the purpose of defraying the expenses of the delegates. The communication was rejected, and, on motion, it was resolved that thoy would not pay the assess- ment. As it was an flegal act on the part of the Council, contending sections have the sole right to send delegates, Citizen Saura was then pene the delegate to represent them at the Universal Congress, at Hague, in Holland.

OF THE HERALD EXPLORER, Dice! llc statis xara oe Conversation on the Result of Liy- ingstone’s Explorations. DR. KIRK IN A BAD LIGHT. APPEARANCE {Frem the London Dally Telegraph, July 25.) MARSEILLES, July 24, 1872, I have been fortunate enough to anticipate here that news from Central Africa and from its greatest explorer for which Europe and America have for weeks and months been anxiously on the watch. As every incident regarding the meeting between Livingstone and the enterprising American who tracked him out at Ujiji cannot fail to be of interest, Ishall make no apology for any casual details that perchance might otherwise seem trivial. WAITING FOR THE TRAVELLER, You know already that Mr. Stanley, the Com- missioner of the New York HERALD, left Aden some days ago, accompanied by the son of Dr. Livingstone, who had gone out with the recent English Search Expedition—the two bearing letters from the traveller to his friends and to the British government. The steamer by which they took passage for this port was the Meikong, which belongs to the Services Maritimes des Mes- sageries Nationales, and carried the China mail from Alexandria, The European manager of the New Yorke HERALD (Dr. Hosmer) had been wait- ing at Marseilles for some days to receive his dis- tinguished colleague; but both he and your cor- respondentewere assured last night that there was no chance of the steamer—which had been a day or two overdue—arriving until this morning. AGAIN SUCCESSFUL IN HIS EXPLORATIONS, They consequently retired to rest; but were most agreeably disturbed; for at two in the morning they were aroused by Mr. Stanley himself, who had quitted the Meikong immediately on her arrival, leaving Mr. Livingstone on board. Mr. Stanley had learned at Suez by telegram that Dr, Hosmer awaited him at Marseilles, but he did not know the name of the hotel to which he should go; so he deliberately instituted an exploration of all the hotels in the city until he found us. When he accom. plished this discovery, he made no ceremony about knocking us up, walking quietly into the room and simply saying, by way of all introduction, “Mr. Stanley.” Warn congratulations, of course, passed upon his success and his safe arrival so far on his journey home; all thought of further sleep for the night was abandoned, and having obtained some of the best wine at command in which to drink the health of the man who had so arduously and successfully explored for the explorer, we sat up till morning, listening to the recital of the mar- vellous adventures and discoveries of Livingstone, and the not much less wonderful adventures and escapes of Mr. Stanley himself. HOW STANLEY LOOKS AFTER WHAT HE HAS GONB THROVGH. It is with some regret that I must commence by saying that Mr. Stanley is not an Englishman or rather a Welshman—as was recently reported in some journals, but an American citizen. He 18 not by any means, after all his exposure and fatigue, in such robust health as might be de- sired, and he will probably, find it neces- sary to break his journey to London, where he may be expected to arrive about the middie of next week. Mr. Stanley is a comparatively young man, having scarcely con- cluded his third decade, He stands about five feet seven inches high; he has a very broad cheat and powerful-looking fame, and a most intelli- [Tas expression of countenance; his hair, na- urally curling, and once light in color, has turned quite gray during his expedition, through ex- posure he weather and the severe and repeated attacks of fever which he underwent. He was, in fact, prostrated by. the special disease of the country no fewer than twenty-three times, Through inevitable haste in the preparation of the summary which you printed on the 8d inst., containing the substance of many columns of Mr. Stanley's de- spatches, one or two misapprehesions have crept in which he is desirous that I should take an occasion of correcting, The broad fact which re- sults from LIVINGSTONE’S DISCOVERIES he says, is, that there are three lines of drainage in the central ee of Africa which he explored, The first line was that discovered by Captain Speke and Captain Grant; the second is supposed to be con- stituted between the Lake Tanganyika and the Lake Albert Nyanza, discovered by Baker. But the third and grand line of drainage is that now made known to us by Livingstone, under the various names of the Chambesi, the Luapula and the Lua- laba—all these three rivers being really one and the same great stream, bearing different names in dif- ferent regions, bestowed by the people through whose country it passes, This triple-named river forms the upper part of the Nile, which is, iv fact, a lake stream. THE MEETING BETWEEN STANLEY AND LIVINGSTONE. As the summary of Mr. Stanley’s despatches stated, he met Dr. Livingstone at Ujiji, on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika, on the 10th of November, 1871, when the dry and formal cere- monial previously described was observed in Presence of the Arabs. “But,” sald Mr. Stanley, “the Arabs knew that we must have something very important to communicate to each other, ind, although their principal men wanted to puta multitude of questions to me, they voluntarily withdrew in order to give us the opportunity of conversing Even g The chief man of the place had lost a son in the battle in which we were engaged on my way up the country; so I sent my head man, Bombay—who was Burton's celebra ed attendant, but who nope the less on one occasion tried to Play me false—to tell the mournful news."’ Mr. Stanley describes with the greatest animation the mutual joy of Dr. Living- stone and himself when at last they found them- selves alone and at liberty to give unrestrained flow to their feelings. He is most enthusiastic in praises of the personal character of the great ex- Pplorer, whom he holds to be “one of the pravest an podiest gentlemen And truest Christians living.) °° a UAT ee em <pige® SWITEN WR WERE ALONE, nee relates Mr. Stanley, “I handed to hima packet of letters from home, and said that after he had finished reading them he should next be told all the news from the civilized world, so far as 1 | myself knew them. ‘No, no,’ said Livingstone; | for three years I have been waiting for letters from home, and I can afford to Wait a few hours longer; give me the news of the world!’ | so I reported to him all I could think of; the striking events of the Franco-Ger- man war, the capture of Napoleon, the flight of the Empress and declaration of the républic; thé fallof Queen Isabella of Spain; the election of General Grant in America; the opening of the Pacific Railroad, and whatever else I thought likely to be intercarmg to one who had lived so lug at stich Femoteness from the movements of Givilization. One of the very first questions which he put, with a view to sup; lementjng my yas t of indelligenee was about the welfare o1 ‘his dea old nd,’ Sir Roderick Murchison. I answere that at my latest advices he was quite well, for it was only on my return to the coast that I learnt of his death, which I since knew had happened only about three weeks before I saw the traveller in whose eventual safety the veteran President so stanchly believed. Although Dr. Livingstone had been absent trom his native country so long he spoke English perfectly, both in phrase and in ac- cent,’? LIVINGSTONE'S NARRATIVE, “After I had told Livingstone everything,” con- tinues Mr. Stanley, “he narrated to me in return all that had happened to himself; first recountin the latest and, in some ways, the most importan' facts, and afterwards golug back over the whole period of his voluntary and toilsome banishment, to give @ complete and connected history of his wanderings from the time when he quitted Zanzi- bar in the fail of 1865, This narrative was not the occupation of a single evening, as you may suppose ; for it lasted, with explanations and amplifications necessary for one who had not been among the scenes themselves, during all the four months I remained with Livingstone, from the 10th of No- | vember, 1871, to the 14th of March, 1872. The explorer had countless and wonderful hair- breadth escapes to relate; in one single day he had narrowly saved his life three times— twice by avoiding spears which were thrown at him, but fortunately without inflicting a wound; and the third time bya man pulling him aside, when a large tree was falling, just in time to evade the blow, though he was covered and blinded with | the dust. One of Dr. Livingstone's men, being a witness to these three almost miraculous escapes ona single day, said to him, “Never mind, Bena! pluck up your heart! believe in Allah! You will | get through all this trouble yet; you will live to see your home and friends again!” THE DOCTOR'S COOLNESS AND BRAVERY. Mr. Stanley aMrms that Dr. Livingstone positively does not kiow what fear is, At Lake Tanganyika both of the two tlemen were in instant appre- ‘he hostile. telbe of um 8 ed ston, Bante “some are pening you at oe or —_ saw pa an m ‘ane of ‘then Rel ih jotta tnat they wero pagel id demanded to kno Sarnia an yw who wero there, vel era aneyrered {ha} they were white men, nd oaxeg there hat they Wauccs, natives Mea that they would ‘come back and seo £58 white men in the eve: When they hag ong vingstone and Stanley it, Ol ju iy sideration of all the that it would be better to quit the vicinity at once. Accord- ingly,' they got into their ita, "and Stanley had bashed’ ‘oft from the Jake ‘shore when the audden! ea Rew appearance in grea force and wit atl i them with ith much fury, featur ee me t 7 fellows.” Du Di me permnisnion te onan ion to pun: . Livingstone answered, no;.we have out of danger; it is not necessary to shed now.” The attack, how- ever, was, by Mr. Stanley’s account, of an ex- ceedingly ‘dangerous character, despite the hu- pling cool conduct of the great explorer in ANOTHER INCIDENT mentioned tn the course of my long conversation with Mr. Stanley was as follows:—The party were in the cannibal country of Usamsl, on the western coast of Lake Tanganyika. Dr. Livingstone had Re out to take observations, while Mr. Stanley ad retired to sleep, Suddenly a boy rushed into the tent, crying excitedly, “Master, master, get your gun! men want to fight!” ” “I soon found,” Says Mr, Stanley, “that it was quite true; there were scores of excited native fellows shouting out that they were going to kilius; soJsent four or five of our men to the Doctor, warning him of the danger, and desiring tim to hurry back to the camp. By and by the Doctor returned, in his usual calm and deliberate manner,. presented him- self to the ohief man of the natives who had made the hostile demonstrations, and, without any appearance whatever of alarm or of anger, coolly inquired what was the matter, From the reply to this question it came out that the son of the chief man had been murdered by the Arabs of Ujiji, and that they had come to wreak upon us their revenge for his death. Courteous and calm. almost beyond anything that I can convey to you m words,” continues Mr. Stanley, “the Doctor met their declaration with the answer that although all that was alleged by the friends of the deceased might be true, we had nothing in the world to do with the business; we were white men, and not Arabs; and in proof he bared his arm and showed it to them. They were not, however, satisfied even by this, which should have been tolerably conclusive evidence; and we had, in the long run, to bribe them in order to get rid ofthem, They left us; but, fearing lest they might return in ater force, We sailed into safer quar- ters across fhe lake, a distance of thirty-five miles,”’. LEITERS HOMM, Mr. Stanley was or ts the bearer of letters from Dr. Livingstone to Lord Granville, to the President of the Royal Geographical Society, to Mr. Bates, the Secretary of that body; to Sir Bartle Frere, to Miss Agnes Livingstone, to his eldest son now living— the eldest by birth having been killed while fighting bravely on the side of the North during the civil war in America—to Mr, Chari Livingstone, his brother; Miss Anna Maria Livingstone, Dr. Wilson, formerly of Bombay; Sir Seymour Fitzgerald, ex-Governor of Bombay; Mr. Webb, Newstead ee Dr. Edwin Seward, of Bombay; Captain White of the P. and 0, company; Rev. Horace Waller, W. F. Hearnes, of Bombay. Dr. Kirk received his letters from Mr, Stanley at Zanzibar; as also Mr. Oswald Living- stone, who went out witn the search expedition last organized in England, and is now on his way home with Mr, Stanley. Other letters are in hand for Mr. John Murray, and one or two others in Eng- land, whose names Mr. Stanley did not at the mo- ment recall. WHAT DR. LIVINGSTONE THINKS OF AMERICAN EN- TERPRISE. Dr. Livingstone expressed himself as being ex- Sanita roud of the interest taken in him by the people oi erica, and as perfectly astonished that ajournal of that country should have sent out an exp eaean to search for him, The ex- lorer has transmitted to the New York HERALD wo ‘re ee letters—one addressed to Mr. James Gordon Bennett, the apreeane proprietor of that paper, who originated the idea of the special search, thanking him for his generosity in “sending help toa man who was utterly broken down and destitute; the other, which is very long, devoted to the subjects of the slave trade in Africa, and of the geographical, or, rather, hydrographical dis- coveries which he has made, Mr. Stanley reports that Dr. Livingstone has consented to communi- cate special intelligence to the paper which he has 80 ably and bravely represented; so that the first accounts of tne future discoveries of which the en- thusiastic Scotchman is in quest will first appear, it may be expected, on the other side of the Atlantic. AN UGLY CHARGE AGAINST DR, KIRK, Considerable controversy {s likely to arise as to the manner in which Dr, Kirk, the British Consul at Zanzibar, has actea, and respecting the way in fea NAP Sooty Was canauctaty fhe whole sub ie whole sub- ject will no doubt be brought under discussion by the letters which Dr. Livingstone himeelf has writ- ten, by the statements which Dr. Livingstone has made to Mr, Stanley and by the assertions which Mr. Stanley himself repeats in the most positive the substance of these statements is that Dr. Kirk failed pendeseg to Livingstone that "bpm support which might have given England he honor oi fnding him. Mr. Stanicy complains of the long time that Dr. Kirk took in sending on goods, which were moreover given in cha to men who showed themselves unworthy of trast. Dr. Kirk, too, does not seem, from conver- sation which Mr, Stanley reports, 'to have even reposed full confidence Dr, Livingstone, or to have had relations of sympathy with bim. When I arrived at Zanzibar,” says Mr. Stanley, “I heard that there was a party bound for the interior in search of Livingstone, stationed at Bogomoyo, twenty-five miles from Zanzibar, and that the part; had been there two months. I remained at Zanzi- bar one mouth, and a fortnight after i was at Bogo- moyo, It was reported by the natives there that Dr. Kirk was coming to send the caravan oi When the chief of the party heard that Dr. Kirk was coming, after having remained there three months and a half, he left two days before the Resident came. (Here I _am_ simply giving Mr. Stanley's own words.) Dr. Kirk came in the Columbine, with the chief oMcer of that ship, on a shooting excursion, and he never paid the slightest attention to the caravan until his return from the shooting excursion, which was in about six days, when he found that the party had gone eight or ten dys before he arrived. This apparent lack of enterpfise and prmpeiy, on the part of Dr. Kirk formed the subject of conversations between Dr. Livingstone and Mr, Stanley, The latter ascribed it to apathy; but Dr. Livingstone sala, “No; it is jealousy.” “How can that be,” asked Stanley. Livingstone answered, ‘You do not know the circumstances of this expedition of which Ihave charge. At my request it was offered by Dr. Mur- chison to Dr. Kirk, He refused it, Here an extra- ordinary fact alleged by Mr. Stanley may be mentioned. In the coursé of nine months eleven ackets of letters sent by Dr. Hosmer through Mr. ‘ebb, the American Consul at Zanzibar, reached Mr. Stanle; Ujiji.. He even had a telegram at four months’ date relating to the communications sent to him; yet during three years Livingstone never had one of the letters sent through Zanzibar. Dr. Kirk doubtless will be anxious, and probably will be able, to expiain matters which, while they suggest the appearance of a certain want of co- operative energy,~ must not, of course, be pro- nounced upon uptil whe gMcial concerned has had an opportunity of explanation. STANLEY’S PROMISH TO THR GREAT TRAVELLER. . Ms Stanley ave Dr. Livingstone the solemn Di Hise at he would deliver with his own hand, or place In the London post oftice, his diary of the five years of his last expedition, which he has sent to his daughter, and the letters to Lord Granville, to the Geographical Society, and his private friends, Mr. Stanley being, as I have said, far from well, will not leave Marseilles paul to-morrow morning or night, He musi prone e Journey at Paris foraday or two, so that it wi Pete Be lddig of next week be- fora he absolutely faldt fils pfomise to thé great € rey, Tam ae suro that general sympathy will be felt with the American traveller in this tem- port tasieport sons as lam equally sure the pub- ic will gladly do honor to the gallant gentleman who was the first to tell them that Magdala was captured and that Dr. Livingstone was alive, HOW yay SAVED DR. LIVINGSTONE'S DIARY, That all-precious document, the diary of Dr. Liy- ingstone, had a singular escape from being lost; but the presence of mind of Mr. Stanley saved it. When he had left Livingstone, on one occasion, he and his men were crossing the Mukondokwa river, It was then in the full ‘m: mo or rainy season, Suddenly the man who carried the box with the precious treasure was in danger of being over- whelmed ye flood, and of losing the box in the stream. . Stanley, fearing that he was about to let go, presented a cocked pistol at his head, and threatened to blow out his brains if he yielded his hold. The pistol had a | pong terror than the wa- ter; andthe man, making a desperate struggle, got the box safely ashore. The name of this man was Chowpereh; he is descrined as @ good fellow, anda pet of Dr. Livingstone’s. He has gone back to the Doctor, and willbe able to tel! him that his let- ters have left Africa. NEW LIFE TO THE BRAVE OLD MAN. “When I first saw Livingstone,” said Stanley, in the course of our naturally discursive talk, ‘he was worn out by diarrhwa, broken down and bafiled— these were his own words—by worry, disappoint- ment and longing. ‘You have brought new life to me,’ he said.” After a companionship of four months, Mr. Stanley left him a hale, hearty, stout man, who bofe his sixty years well. His hair was still dark; his moustache and beard were gray, not white. He had plenty of clothes, ammunition, rifles, revolvers and also supplies for three years; while when Mr. Stanley discovered him he was destivute and quite broken up, nothing but his brave heart and his belief in the goodness of God supporting him, Mr. Stanley assured me, in the most earnest manner, that he had no fear what- ever but that, at the expiration of about two ears, Englishmen will see again their great coun- Tyman, As already stated in the summary you have published, Dr, Livingstone has gone to ex- plore a tribe who live underground; but his great object is to discover the several links between his pee echt and those of Baker. To give an dea of THE HWARDSINPS WHICH MR. STANLEY UNDERWENT in his task I may mention that when he left Zanzi- bar he weighed 170 pounds, but Biase int Parnes he was redu tol Baking pounds. Before leaving Liviug- We the latter his medicine chest and five juinine. While Livingstone and Stanley were together they travelled to the head of Lake Tanganyika. The reason why Livingstone had not me there hefoy tauley came was that he could not pid the ee ‘Rofore they ipl Le imgstone was of opinion that the head of ngan, i! ‘@ did join the Albert HyEnae He supposed at he had solved this by taking the level of the waters. The Earl of Winchelsea, in a recent letter, bottles of has stated that the level of Tanganyika above the sea is only 1,804 feet, but Dr. Livingstone has found It to be 3,000 feet. After ‘ur. aetey felt itingstons he sent on four of his men to the Coast to get some champagne and other things. They saw Mr, Webb, the American consul at Zanzibar, who sent back some cham- pagne, some wine, biscuits, and jam. The chief of these men, on nis return, reported that there was another party in search of the bana ukerba, mean- ing “great master’—Livingstone—and that this expedition was accompanied by the toto ukerba, or “tittle master’—Livingstone’s son. This was Lieutenant Dawson's party. Four days afterwards Mr, Stanley reached the coast, FAILURE OF THE ENGLISH KOYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY'S EXPEDITION, Tho first white man whom he met was Lieutenant Henn, R. N., who told the American Bes er that he was the commander of the Living- fh pedition sent out by the Royal Geographical Socicty. Lieutenant Dawson had resigned when he heard that Mr. Stanley had met Dr. Livingstone, saying that the object of the expedition was accomplished, Ihave already men- toned that young Mr. Livingstone cams back with Mr, Stanley. He arrived with him last night ana left for London by this morning's express, SUNDAY AFLOAT. The Cruise of the Atlantic Yacht Club. —_+_— The Fleet Anchored at Glen Cove—Religious Service on Board the Sea Witch, On Board Yacur Mystic, GLEN CovEk, August 4, 1872, The Atlantic Yacht Club deet presented a very attractive appearance at daylight this morning as they lay riding at anchor in the placid bay, whose waters were unbroken by a ripple and gave the appearance of an immense sheet of glass. The fleet comprises some very beautiful vessels, all clothed in white with the exception of the Mystic which is, metaphorically speaking, the oniy black sheep in the flock. As arule, yachtsmen are early risers, and shortly after five A. M. a num, ber of stalwart forms, stripped to the buf, were splashing about im the briny and enjoying the benefit of a morning salt-water bath, The morning passed away very quietly, the respect due to the day being strictly observed by thase on board the yachts. Shortly after ten A. M. the deep and solemn tones of the bell on the camp meeting ground rolled across the bay, calling the faithful to their devotions, The imposing-looking dome surmounting the building on the camp ground recalls to mind the mosques of the East, glittering in the refection of the morning sun, Shortly before eleven A. M, the yawl boats ‘and dingles attached to the different yachts in the feet were put in active requisition, carrying the members of the club and their gucsts to the schooner Sea Witch, where DIVINE SERVICE was to be solemnized. The Sea Witch is a schooner yacht, formerly known as the Lois. Her present owner, Mr. Stott, has spent a considerable amount in improvements, and transmogritied what was generally looked upon as a second-rate boat into a really handsome yacht. About eleven A. M. a congre- gation numbering close upon a hundred were as- sembled on the decks of the Sea Witch, some seated on camp stools, while others rested on the rail and trunk. Among those present were Commodore Peet, Vice Commodore Maxwell, Rear Commodore Monsell, ex-Commodore W. Voorhis, Captains Creamer, Cooper, Stott and Gouge, of the Atlantic Yacht Ciub, and Commodore W. Kipp and a number of gentlemen of the Harlem xucht Club, A number of ladies were also present, and proyed very able assistants to the impromptu choir, A table set on the trunk formed a suitable reading desk. The Rev. Dr. Dwight, of the Prot- estant Episcopal Church, offered prayer and read the lesson of the day, after witch the Rey, Mr. homas, of the Methodist Episcopal Churciy%de- livered an address, selecting for his text the words ot the Apostle Paul found in the eighteenth verse of the eighth chapter of lis Epistle to the Romans, as follows:—“The glofy which shal revealed in us.’ Mr. ‘Thomas, in opening, alluded to Richter, the German mathematician, who left on his tombstone as cpl ~ 4 an unfinished problem, and the musician who left a8 an epitaph an unfinished score, as being like humanity an unfinished problem, having factors which reach no conclusions. It is of their conclu- sion the text speaks—First, man has a double na- ture—suggested by the phrase ‘in us.’ There is the material, oy recognized, and the spiritual. Atthe existence of the spiritual, infidelity hesitates, It is roved, as the existence of the material is proved, by the enumeration of its erties, whiel are not produced by aggregation of atoms, which would create no new qualities; also the mind has creative powe also a conscious proprietorship. Second, the des- tiny of the two natures—the destiny of the material indicated by Paul in his Epistle to the Corinthians— “At present all weakness and limitation is of the body.” All ingenuity and tnvention are directed to the overcoming the weakness of the body. This is to be raised in power. The mind also is limited by the machinery by which it must act; the will grapples deeper problems than the brain can solve. Mentul power is the measure of the instrument through which the mind must act. The destiny of the spiritual is to be changed into the image of God, Mr. Thomas concluded by stating that there was more than mere faith to rest on, as the forces of heaven were at work in us now, giving certain indication of the glory to be revealed in us. About one P. M. Commodore Kipp and his flag- ship Marianna and the Vivid and Mary J. Campveil weighed anchor and started for home. There was hardly any wind, only just sufficient to move them through water. ‘The schooner Triton went up the bay in the morning and did not get back until evening.

Yesterday morning @ Frenchman, eighteen years of age, named Emile Schief, residing at 241 East Twenty-sixth street, was seated on the pavement in front of Paige’s hotel, corner of Spring and West streets, reading @ book. As he was very much in- terested in his readings he did not observe the approach of some five or six young ruMans of the eighth ward, who seized hold of him and held him while they forcibly took from his pocket a pipe and forty-five cents in money. After relieving him of all the they ran into the property. he had Spring street market, and were pursued by officer Bell, of the Twenty-eighth precinct, who succeeded in capturing Jonn Hyde, he Jo 14, of 23 Watts street, in whose session he found the property taken from Schief, The prisoner, who is @ bootblack, upon being arraigned before Justice Cox, at Jefierson Market, denied the charge but ‘was fully committed for trial. He claimed to have found the ie and stated that the money had been earned by him in the morning blacking boots, THE ABANDONED INFANT, ph Helen Wright, the colored woman, residing at 227 ‘West Fifteenth street, who was arrested on Satar- day night by OMicer McEvoy, of the Sixteenth pre- cinct, charged with abandoning her daugiter’s infant on the sidewalk, the facts of which have al- ready appeared in the HeraLy, was arraigned be- fore Justice Cox at the Jefferson Market Police Court yeaterday morning. Upon the statement of the oficer that the mother and child were in Belle- vue Hospital the prisoner was remanded to the cus- tody of the Coroner, who will investigate the casi as the house surgeon stetes it is impossible for tl \ child to live, CITY POLITICS, The First Heavy Guns of the Campaign—Thg i Hall Musketry Fire—Galvanizing Old ‘ammany—The Straight-Out and the Bourbon Straight Democrats—An Epi- sode—Musio in the Air—The New National Democratic Commit- tee—The Meeting To-Night, Every great pitched battle opens with cannonad« ing by heavy guns, This is considered the right thing by the generals on either side. «It was a say, ing of Napoleon's that Providence favored the side: that had the heaviest artillery. Therefore the ar. tillery duel is used asa feeler to try each other's! metal, Out of the smoke the rival armies advance against each other, and then the close fighting com- mences. The present political campaign began in, like manner, with the heavy artillery. The echo\.) the big guns fired at Cincinnati, Philadelphia and Baltimore had scarcely died away when the first MUSKETRY FIRE was opened at Apollo Halla few nights ago; but it was like the night affair at Big Bethel, early in the late war, when the Union soldiers fired into each other, instead of at the enemy, decimating their own ranks and creating a general panic. It taught its own lesson, however, which no doubt will be profited by when the hour of actual conflict arrives, It was the first indication that the “bali is up,” and that all who are determined to take hand in had better prepare for the sport. The demo- cratic element of the city is in @ most perturbed state in consequence of THE BOMBSHELL THAT FELL UPON THE TAMMANY RING. The Tammany leaders on whom the democracy had so long relied were proven to be recreant to their high trust, and were driven from the exalted station they had occupted in the politics of the city: and State. With them fell, temporarily, at least, Tammany as a power in the land. Of course, there were plenty of others ready to take the place of the deposed sachems, and Tammany still lives, but. only in name. The galvanizing of the all but de- funct wigwam into heavy respectability has not succeeded, and now, in fact, under the new régime, Tammany is a closer political corporgtion than it was under Peter Bismarck Sweeny and his Prato- rian guard, The present Chief Sachem, who would of thousands are all at sea, tread as a power in the shoes of Peter B., is Win- throp Chanler, aman of great means and undoubted. ability, but not the man to rule the flerce democ- racy, and so the flerce domocracy give Tammany and its present chieftain a wide berth. The fact that the present chicfs have issued their pronuncia- mento that they go for Greeley against Grantin the Presidential contest has somewhat popniarized them, but their action in the premises does not come with the weight which a similar act by the old chiefs would carry. No mass meeting of the people was called to ratify the new political departure from the an- ctent policy of the party, no enthusiasm excited so as to make It 9 great party movement, and in this vital point the action of Tammany loses its etfect and iorce., There is no doubt but the policy of THR APOLLO HALL LEADERS, as clearly enough enunciated the other night, hay tended greatly to befog things political in a local sense, There are still more than a good corporal’s guard of the old adherents of Tammany standing by the old ship in hopes to see her weather tha storm, and though commanders and officers have gone by the board, they look to see her again in clear waters, with steering tackle renewed, all damages repaired, and once more in com- mand of ollicers of the people's choice. These are none of your Apollo Hall men—men to desert the ship the moment that the cry of “Breakers ahead!” is heard on board, or men to be seduced from thelr allegiance for the sake of change, or lured from their colors by porsonal consideratfons. ‘To one of these, @ veteran compounder of democratic drinks, accl- dentally met the other day in a sort of “Pewter Mug’? sample room opposite the fire engine house in Chambers street, the query was a “Well, Captain, what do you think of the Apollo Hall business #"? * Answer—“Well, very glad of tt, Judge. Do you see, this will strengthen PemtAay. A little more of that music and the Apollo chaps, as they call themselves, or whatever is left of them, may go and play on jewsharps for the remainder of their natural lives.’? The old Captain spoke so oracularly, or so clearly uttered t PogEinente Of all uear him, that none galtusayed hin, “But what about the straight out democratic ticket} that Senator O’Brien is waiting for ? queried the Judge in a general way. A Bystander—‘Straizit out democratic ticket; eoneeetee I'd rather go ‘Bourbon straight,’ any day.” “So you will my boy, and this minute too,” sald an enthusiastic listener—an anti-Apollo man evi- dently—and the Bourbon straight was straightway disposed of, But there is MUSIC IN THE AU that will lead some of the aspiring leaders attached to eitter portage 4 or Apollo—to change thelr tunes and to chorus in harmeny with the new political company that is about entering on the political stage. In view of the supposed fact that reorganized or reformed Tammany does not represent the political icclings and senti- ments of the democracy, and that the old Wigwam is no more an arena for the Demosthenes of the party and a favored temple of the masses, @ movement has been set on foot to create a new party out of the scattered elements that once © posed the ferce and power of old Tammany. The movement, in its tirst stages, was kept p. oioundly secret, but now that a programme ts deciled upon and a code of tactics laid down the first public noti- fication of the new departure is made. A NEW PARTY IN A STATE OF PARTURITION, The chaos into which the great and hitherto In- vincible democratic party wus thrown by the visitation of that destroying angel prophesied of in the Assembly Chamber at Albany two years ago cannot lopg continue. Even now there are signs of returning order and of shape and form, and anot! Angel Abdiel, in the person of the in- serutable FERNANDO Woon, has penetrated the darkness, inquired into the cause thereof and promi: to restore the de- mocracy of tie great Empire State to all its pris- tine glory. Tammany as a watchword, he thinks, is “a thing of the past and Apollo Hall only a acre among politicians. The shibbolevh by which he has chosen to summon the children of all the lost tribes of the old Tammany is the new national democracy. This.titie is at present merely intended as the ral- lying cry for the leaders to come in and report, receive instruction and to execute judgment. ‘The nucleus of a committee ts formed, of which James M. Smith, ex-Recorder, {3 chairman, an old ad- herent of “Fernandy’s.”” The business of the chair- man and a few aids is enormous in the way of re- ving adbesions from leaders in all the districts of the city. There is some pretty ground and lofty tumbling in poiitical circles anent this new mode of the sly and astute old ex-Mozart leader. He is taking the waters at present at Saratoga, but when hé returns t6 open the ball at his eyrie in the Fernando Wood Buildings, in Nassau street, he'll make @ swoop upon some of his old foes and make them dance, no matter who pays the piper, With the exception of Senator O'Brien, who is in @ quandary which way to steer, all the leaders of the erst time young democracy are ingtntny to give their support to thls Ww movement, ‘ernando is ale biding his thio: but he is as resolute and full of devices as ever. is magnificent mustache adorns a stilt upper lip as of yore, and will be as reliautily looked to ior success in this new change of base in moving upon the enemy a8 was the snow white plume on the helmet of Navarre. It is said that Sherif Brennan will, at the proper time, aftiliate with the new National Democratic Committee and shake hands with Fernando over the bloody chasm of local political warfare. At present, on the national issue, the leaders ot fifties and of hundreds and articularly in yiew of Apollo Hall tactics, which they cannot well under- stand, and the Tammany Hall desertion of demo- cratic colors, which they cannot but deplore. They have no confidence in or respect for the men who assume to be sachems and chieftains in Tammany, The ery of reform is had good When an excitement is created thereby and @ change promised; but when the excitement dies away, and the rank and file discover that the change only benefits the few and leaves them as they were before, ge io faith which attached the 27 waa wee leaders and the feeling which satisfled them to tal AACS thing on trust, there, Gomes & | rong i in jes no permanency for the ne 0 PerEw NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE do not calculate upon taking any particularly ac- tive part in the present campaign beyond ving their combined strength to the conservative candi- date for the Presidency.

THE MERTING TO-NIGHT, The first meeting of the New National Democratic Committee 18 called for this evening at Union square, by the Chairman, ex-Recorder Smith. The call will no doubt cause considerable surprise in democratic circles, and will be as certainly very largely attended. Some of the French papers are excited by & rumor which seems somewhat sncrodiie, ‘but. which has been published by the Vatertand, to the effect thatin the flnancial convention recently con. cluded between France and Germany @ secret iause bas been Inserted, at the {nseanes of Sones smarck, by which the Fre es to op) my and combat the Sinise insurrec- fen in Spain by all diplomatic reat all measures of police in its power, Legithnist depus ties Will, it Is stated, put a question to the govern- ment on this subject in the Assembly verv soon,
