No. 8 Ducuess Srrerr, PorTianp Prace, ‘Lonpon, Sept. 13, 1872. i Jasmes Gorpon Bewnerr, Esq. :— Dzar Sm—Your agent in this city to-day kindly sent me three copies of a newspaper published in the city of New York, bearing the dates respectively of the 24th, 30th and 31st of August of the present year. It would bea difficult matter for me to describe the conflict- Ang emotions I felt during the perusal of cer- tain articles found therein. My first feelings * were those of profound astonishment at the discovery of so debased a character as s ‘THIS WRETCHED YOUNG MAN, NOE, tarns out to be. He proclaims himself the victim of a foul and unnatural outrage, gives his name in full, with his present address; he ‘wells fondly on the disgusting details which ‘unmanned him; offers himself up voluntarily to public scorn and contempt, and deliberately stamps himself as the greatest moral idiot in * existence, I then felt regret. at discovering the fact that there was a newspaper in the city of New York which could lend itself for the publication of such a disgusting, immoral letter as the one purporting to be written by Lewis H. Noe, and exhibit a morbid delight in every circumstance and detail of this most shameless story. To enter upon a detailed refutation of the yerious charges and accusations falsely levelled at. me by this eccentric youth would be 1, UNDIGNIFIED AND UNWORTHY OF ME; ft would but serve to bring the contemptible pewspaper and its unmanly correspondent into ‘greater prominence than they deserve. I con- _.myself with simply asserting that the ‘statements of this man Noe, in so far as they refer to me, consist of a series of the most Btrocious falsehoods that the most imaginative fillain could have deviged to the detriment of t : ‘any one man’s reputation. bos Fs; v ity? Why should people attack my private shatacter? How have! injured any person so much as to induce him to villify me in this manner?” It is with the utmost confidence that I can reply that, intentionally, I have never injured any living man. In the summer of 1866 I took this boy as a tind of companion, who was to make himself generally useful. A few miles east of Smyrna the young rascal - SET FIRE TO A VALUABLE GROVE belonging to some Tarks, who were so enraged Btthe incendiary act that myself and com- jpanions were in danger of our lives ; upon jwhich, after mollifying the anger of tho ‘patives, I punished_the young villain with a few strokes of a switch, a far lighter punish- ment than he deserved, as any sensible man pill at once admit. Near Chihissar the chief of a gang of brigands which infested the en- virons of Ofium-Karshissar POE INSULTED HIM, Japon which, in my indignation, I struck him jwith my sword. He immediately raised such an outéty that I was compelled to order my jcompanions to mount and hurry away; but, our ignorance of the country, we rode direct to the neighborhood of the robbers’ den, ond were consequently captured without much trouble. The indignities and outrages which {ehe ruffians subsequently visited upon a mem- ‘ber of our party need not be repeated here, it I may mention that I was the one who was mental in relieving my party from all pprehensions of a worse fate. Now possibly this boy—now a man in years at least— i REMEMBEES THE SLIGHT FLOGGING administered to him, and, stung by the emory of it, has proposed to himself that e author of it, having in some way distin- ed himself by the discovery of Dr. Liv- tone, might now be made to feel his re- tment, and pfoceeds to do so by investing with a Satanic character; with all the attri- tes of a “bold and unscrupulous, daring, it intelligent and specious adventurer.” Positively, if I thought the young wretch who ‘wantonly set fire to the Turk’s grove near ‘Bmyrna and endangered his own and our lives ‘as insane, I think him ten times more so now by hurrying into print, to glory in his Shamelessness and make public what the most Webased courtesan in any great city would wer have published. But enough ot this | bominable fraud, with his series of absurd ictions. Let me dilate a little upon the accu- ations levelled at me ABOUT THE LIVINGSTONE LETTERS. You know yourself, sir, as. woll as your former agont, that I was utterly ignorant of the commission you gave me at the Grand Hotel in Paris before you delivered to me instructions regarding it. Captain Francis R. AWebb, late Consul at Zanzibar, now residing at Salem, can tell you, as an impartial wit- ness, how I set about the work you requested me to perform. Mr. Spalding and Mr. Morse, both of whom are at this present moment in New York, can also add their testiniony to it. Mr. John Bertram, the great merchant at Salem, can also inform you, whether or not he honored the drafts I drew on you. Dr. Kirk, also—with whom I have at present an unpleasant difference about the aid he says he freely gave to Dr. Livingstone, but which I say that he did not give so freely as is generally believed—can inform you whether or not he : SAW ME AT BAGOMOYO, preparatory to marching for the interior. Also the Journal des Débats of Paris states that Mr. De Vienne, then Consul of France at Zanzibar, acknowledges to have seen me on that island preparing my expedition. Apropos of Mr. De Vienne, it is said that this gentle- man ‘described me as rather eccentric in my way of doing things; that I refused every- body’s advice and was consequently roduced to my own resources.” This gentleman UNCONSCIOUSLY GIVES ME HIGH PRAISE by saying so; for it seems to me that I thus avoided the rock upon which the English Livingstone Search Expedition split. Lieu- fenant Dawson had too many advisers, and therefore failed. Had he not acted according to the advice of Dr. Kirk, Lieutenant Dawson had surely succeeded. When Mr. De Vienne says that I refused everybody's advice he refers to my having refused Dr, Kirk's advice to go up the Rufiji River, which was a round- about way of going after Dr. Livingstone, which no sane man would have adopted. Thave stated thatI found Livingstone in iji, just returned from the Lualaba; that I obtained two letters from him, one addressed. to “James Gordon Bennett, Esq., Junior,’’ and the other addressed to James Gordon Bennett, Esq., New York Henaxp ;'’ that TO NEITHER OF THESE LETTERS HAVE I PUT PEN OR PENCIL; that I neither interpolated nor suggested one word, phrase or quotation to Doctor Living- stone while he was writing them ; that I knew not what he had written until he had finished writing them and handed them to me, asking me, ‘Will those do?’’ That I delivered them to your agent, whom I met at Marseilles, pre- cisely as the letters were written by Dr. Liv- ingstone. What I have stated above I will adhere to until Dr. Livingstone shall himself come to England and publicly proclaim the fact himself. As for THE AUTHENTICITY OF THE OTHER LETTERS which I brought with me Lord Granville, of the Foreign Office; J. B. Braithwaite, Living- stone's solicitor; ‘Thomas Steele Livingstone, the Doctor's eldest son; Miss Janet Living- stone, the Doctor's sister; Miss Agnes Living- stone, Captain Black, of the Pacific and Oriental Company; Mr. James Young, of Durris House, near Aberdeen; Dr. John Kirk, Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Zanzibar; Rey. Horace Waller, the Doctor’s friend, have one and all come forward to testify to their authenticity. In the letters to his children Dr. Livingstone speaks of things with which no living person, least of all an American newspaper correspondent, could possibly be cognizant of. In his letters to the Foreign Office the Doctor writes of countries that were wholly unknown to any one east of the Lake Tanganyika, that no fancy, however fertile, could: have imagined. Again, THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND, advised by her Ministers, has signified her approbation of my conduct by sending me a gold snuff box enriched with over sixty diamonds, and a letter of thanks, signed by Lord Granville; sho has also receiyed me msc iy TT BEETS Caen most oraciously At Dunrobin Gastle, the seat of the Duke of Sutherland, an4_has taken the opportunity of thanking me in pétson. Now, is it possible that the British Ministers could be so thoroughly deluded as to advise Queen Victoria to send me such a testimonial, or to receive me in person through any appearances whatever other than genuine? Can any im- posture, however consummate, however dar- ing, hope for such success ? I might ask, also, how was it possible that I could have obtained the “‘Lett’s Diary,” full of observations and geographical notes, which I delivered over to Miss Agnes Livingstone, and which precious property lies now in the strong room of a Glasgow bank? How came I pos- sessed of the Doctor's chronometers and watches, for which I have the -receipt from Admiral Richards, of the Hydrographic office, London? But if, after the receipt of this letter, there may be unbelievers still, my advice to them is to FORM ANOTHER EXPEDITION FOR CENTRAL AFRICK and find out from Livingstone himself whether the letters I brought are genuine or not. Then, perhaps, if they live to come back to tell their story, they must bear witness to my veracity at least, if to nothing else. In the meantime, sir, I would ask whether you ever found cause to repent of your confidence in me, or had reason to suspect in the least my truthfulness and integrity? If you can consoi- entiously answer ‘‘No!'’ Ishall feel amply re- warded and need no more, I remain, sir, your most humble servant, HENRY M. STANLEY. ANOTHER SLANDERER’S REASONS. P. S.—I have omitted to mention the fact that I have seen in an American newspaper some account of an article which has appeared inan Omaha paper derogatory to me. This Omaha paper.can only be the Omaha Herald, whose local editor—‘‘Little Mac’’ by name— I kicked publicly for slander and threats. This local editor had me brought up before the Mayor, Charles Brown, for assault and battery. The jury returned a verdict of ‘Not guilty,” and ‘Little Mac,’’ besides suffering THE INDIGNITY OF A VIGOROUS KICKING in his rearward parts, was compelled to pay ‘costs.’ If any one doubts this let him ex- amine files of the Omaha Republican ; let him ask Governor Butler, of Nebraska; Major Bal- combe, Judge Strickland, Mayor Brown, and he will receive a complete confirmation of the fact. It is but natural, therefore, that the Omaha Jerald should bear me a grudge. HENRY M.

His only brother joined him at Cleveland—a rosy, lusty-looking man, apparently of forty-five or Atty, with a freckled face and hair and whiskers somewhat sandier than Gratz Brown’s and worn 80 much like Brown's that it would not be an impracticable mistake for the country audiences whom we have met in this wild petroleum region to take him for the Vice Presi- dential candidate if it were not that he lives at Corry and is a well-to-do farmer, well known among the people all the region round, He appeared SOMEWHAT BEWILDERED by the dazzling honors paid the elder brother. “He seems to be much younger than you, Mr. Greeley,” said a gentleman to the Sage. . “Well, only sixteen months,” responded the Philosopher. ‘He’s sixty himself.” Mr. Greeley, No. 2, a8 some of the party introduced him, bade his brother a very aifection- ate goodby and good success at Corry. AT ERIE, PA., where the train arrived at ten o'clock, quitea delegation came out to see the Chappaqua candl- date, and, mounting an improvised stand at one end of the depot, he delivered the following ad- dress :— FeLiow Crrizens—It was about forty-one and a half years ago that I, a rather green country boy, wi Worldly wealth done up in a very small bund! place one Winter mornitig looking for work which to earn my bi Ttound employment and kind- ness in the service of Mr, Sterrett, in’ the ie Gazette oitice, for six months, and those six months are among the pleasantest of all the months I now recall.

But who are the States? You mean the whites of the States.

A special train was provided for the party from here and Governor Randolph, who had been com- Plaining for some days, left the party for his home in New Jersey. He is suffering yery severely from the application of blisters to his person and from a threatening hemorrhage. At Corry a crowd of about two thousand greeted the ringing-toned ora- tor with cheers and banners, and carried him to the Downer House, where he bad dinner. It was intended that he should make his speoch here from @ platform erected opposite the Downer House, in the open air, . - ws A METEOROLOGICAL PREDICTION. As they were about ready to commence the me- teorol eye of the farmer detected rain in the horizon, and he sald:—‘I think, friends, we will ne a shower in a few meena — only @ dash. ~ It moments, an ropose We Ry Beare Tor halfan hour, when the raig will be over.” Sanna bay vote: dortnge me ov etn My Cries arose of “No, no; never mind the rain; hold an umbrella over him; but the Philosopher replied that UMBRELLAS WERE THE TROUBLE, for they prevented some of the people behind them from seeing or hearing, and he would preier an a journment over half an hour. This was agreed to by an unanimous vote, and the chief and his ens went to the hotel, arriving there just in time to es- cape the dash of a shower whioh the far-seeing wea- ther ropnee had predicted. After dinner Mr. Greeley repaired on foot to the platform and delivered the following speech, the first one in which he has ar- Tulgned General Grant by name, and by far the most cantankerous one he has yet delivered :— Frizow Crmiznys—A Presidential ele necessaril brings Into review the action of zour yovernment, a the measures (oF good or evil which affect the progperlt of the country and the weltare of the people. Nor is { significance,in the fact that A or B, who may be persons very, moderate capaclty. and sill more modera worth, should be President or hold some other office, but that you—the people—should look over the whole ground, see what ts right and what is amiss, and use your best efforts to correct evils and to sustain what is good. low, You are aware ay well as Tam thal Our country has not been reconciled and regulate And brought into peace and order, and that nearly cight years have clapsed since the ended.

Let ilent tell us what sort ‘of legislation he needs to D those Ku Kiux, and I will back him up to the fullextent, He said what he needed, Laws were passed, and, \aiter all, they did the work. You have not ‘dof any serious Ku Klux outrages since these acts Since these acts were sed, a year go, nobody has heard o: any sefions rages there, though thére have been trials in one or two States, especially in North Carolina; yet they are tridls for offences committed two or three’ years iy long before the act was passed. So the work was done, ‘The Ku Klux conspiracy was crushed out by aci of Gon: , and althongh these outrages. o ow district of territory, they disci dal the Southern people who ma f any sympathy with those who made the ou'riges. ut still there remained that other element of discredit and discontent at the South, which was called “carpe. bay thieves.” When they went into the South with our armies, a number of shrewd, cunning, unscrupulous inen undertook to make themselves rich out of the pov- erty and misery of the vanquished South. They made {hemsclves the special leaders and champions of the black people there; they organized Union Leagues and other secret societies of whlch the first object was ta combine all the black men of the South into a solid phalanx, and thus give the direction of the real govern- ment and the management of those blaok men to those white «men who were called carpet-buggera, So then they nominated those for office, aml they made themselves Governors and Congressmen and. seeretaries. Soon they commenced, through the machinery of legislation, using the simple, ignorant ne- groes—some as legisiators—and they commenced mens- ures of gigantic robbery. In the first place, they made for them great salaries, such as the poor Southern States were unable to pay, atid they pretended to starta great many internal improvements, and iasued bonds in ald or in Dehalt of those improvements. They continued to steal bonds, selling them for what they could et, making no Improvements and leaving the tates, which were wasted and dexolate beiore, over- whelmed with debt, I doubt whether their’ debts can ever be paid, and I_am sure there is very little dispo- sition to pay them among the people who own Arh in the South. ‘They regard them as trawl, simple iniq Hes Imposed upon them and the charges anyust burdens which they cannot bear.

So then Powell Clayton, an Arkansas man, who came in there with @ regiment of our soldiers or ele follow- ing in their wake, and one of the leaders of the carpet-bag crowd, was elec'ed Governor of te. The constitution then prescribed that all gress had distranchised should be right to vote. Well, Congress proceeded very though tardily, to tike off this disfranchise iment, ninety-five or ninety-nine—certainly ninety-fiy every hundred of those who had been disirai s, sed_ by Congress, ress has nothing which we frame u m Congress had th chised; now Congress takes off the ban and we do not. We are folng to keep them tight.” They nppo.nted Goy- ernor Clayton: he appoints a Board of Kesistration or every county, and from the decisions of that Board there is no appeal, ‘and they put in the regisiry just. whoever they pleuse.’ I met thirty or forty eltizeus of Arkansas at Louisville two or three days ago, aud they told me that over twenty thousand of the pfoperty holders and laud holders of that State were now disirmichised—kept off the register; not that the laws require so many, but where They had tal the laws did not she yesistrars did. eo power and they would put on cl they chose “and no more; and when they found they were not going to get « majcrity without striking off,they would strike off s0 us to have the vote ke: that is, for the government under which the y Hi rhe land holders ought to be eniranchised by this cal ag government, which means to cast the electoral vote of the State against the people of the Sta'« by keep- ing a large part of the people distranchised ; and at a late Grant State Convention it was solemnly vowed that none of the-e persons disfranchised should be allowed to vote is Fall; after that they would see about it. Let me tell how it operates. In the year 1870 the: their second election under the State gevernment; not for Governor, but for the Legislature and Congress, Powell Clayton, Governor ot the State and controller of all this election machiner; Sppoinier. of registrars all over the State, was a candidate for Unied States Sena- tor. It wa: it he would be elec'ed under that system—first making all the registrars, and they put- fing on just as many voters as they saw fit; Suppose you have a title to be om the registry? ‘They will not yut you gn and you cannot get on, and there is no remedy for it. There is another hitch beyond that. Powell Clayton and his subordinates are the State Board of Canvassers, with absolute power to reject whatever votes ' they bring out such result as they choose, So then jt appeared when the Legislature was chosen that it was largely republican, yet Mr. Clayton had not got control of it enough to elect hin tor the senate, He has to throw out votes. As Pre-ident of the Board of Canvassers he discards these votes—those that ¢ pleases—so as to bring In @ candidate that he pl For instance, in one county there was an an\ ticket; he ‘throws these votes out—three-quarters oi the republican vote. He throws out those. and brings im the democratic ticket rather than have the republican , ticket elected which was against him. he goés through like this and makes out « Clayton majority, which elects him to the Senaic.
