STANLEY AND THE ——r-—__—— A Slight Mistake Somewhere. OFFICE OF THE OMAHA DaILy AND WEEKLY HERALD, Omana, Neb., Sept. 30, 1872. To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— My attention has been called to the following paragraph in a@ letter of Mr. Stan'ey which ap- peared in the New YorK WEEKLY HeRaup of Sep- tember 18, It escaped my notice in the daily:— - ANOTHER SLANDERER'S REASONS.

HENRY M. BTANLEY, I beg to say, in justice to myseif and to the Omaha Herald, that no such paragraph, not one word or hint, has ever appeared in my paper against Mr. Stanley since the occurrence to which it refers, and that happened against my express orders and known will, On tie contrary, the paper has con- stantly expressed its admiration of the HERALD, Mr. Bennett and Mr. Stanley, both before and since the great African exploit which has reflected such unfading honor upon Amert- can journalism and enterprise, Our ardent friendship for your great newspaper had been so often expressed that one of its accomplished rep- Tesentatives insists on giving us the benefit of an “exchange,” which we still enjoy and highly vaiue. Enclosed please find an article which was printed inthe Omaha Herald only yesterday, September 29 Very truly yours, GEORGE L. MILLER, Editor. STANLEY. The slanderers of Stanley have been crushed and silenced. The world acknowledges the splendor of his achievement in searching out Dr. Livingstone. If there is anything in heroism to be admired he of all lying men ‘deserves this kind of homage, and If there is anything in his character to be udmifed more than any other thing It is his fidelity to James Gordon Bennctt, Jr. to whom he awards ail credit for the African exploli— the boldest, grandest feat of Journalistic enterprise that was ever niade. “Glye you my photograph said Stanley to a gi man in Englaid. “I have none, nor shall T have any taken, I did not go to Africa to discover myself.

Matilda Heron ts the beau {deal of the character on the dramatic stage; La- grange on the operatic. We have seen a score of Well-known artistes in the rdle Violetta (Camille in drama), but Legrange seems to be the first of the lst in merit. Piccolomini made quite an impres- sion in the part in London, but did not Succeed so well here. Nilsson has been the last prima donna who elevated the rdle into an importance that gave an impress to her entire Season. She brought toit the most consummate art, but no soul, and although her conception of the character was poetic and beautiful it was so unreal and unnatural that after a few representa- tions it became distasteful, A chaste, spirituetie, passionless “Dame aux Camélias’ isa very charm: ing subject in the abstract, but itis not the style of person that Dumas fs 1s in the habit of portraying. Miss Kellogg has played the character frequently here before, and her conception of the part has the merit of entire naturalness, A merry, thoughtless habitué of the salons in the first act and a broken, hearted woman in the succeeding scenes; such are the leading points of her iinpersonation. The fickle weather that has been our bane for a month or two past has played mischievous pranks with the throats of many of this season's singers, Miss Kellogg has not escaped it. Her beautiful, fresh, clear voice—a true soprano sfogato—was veiled last evening in an atmosphere of hoarsenoss, which, atthough not very obtrusive, was suiicient to cloud some of her best etiorts. She gave a spir- ited rendering of the finale of the first act, “An! fors' 2 lui,” but in some of the passages of this, the best of Verdi's arias, there were signs of ex- ertion, as if indisposition interfered with the voice, Now and then in the scenes with Ger- mont «and Alfred there were passionate outbursts that evidenced a true dramatic nature, but it was unmistakably apparent that Miss Kellogg was not in her best voice, and that a s! indisposition constantly inte! with the promptings of a warm, passiou nature that under other circumstances would in; the role ot Violetta one to be remembered, Glimpses of this passion and tenderness were apparent in the jast scene.

Pauline Lucca, accompanied by her mother and Irends, visited: the Indian chiets, As the mountain could not go to Mohammed, the great one went to the mountain, and at abou! a quarter to cleven o’ciock Mine. Lucca was introduced to the thirty-three braves, There are two parties, The first, fourteen in number, are in charge of Colonel J. C. O'Connor, Assistant Indian Agent, who has as interpreters Messrs. Join Broguier and William Halse; Madame Lucca was ushered into the reception room by Mr, Ciockett, of the grand Central Hotel, and when her party were seated Major Sim- mons was introduced The charming hittle lady seemed highly delighted with the prospect of see- ing the braves and chatted with the Major in a most animated manner, Mr. Henry Jarrett, who was with her, asked if she would be frightened, to which she replied, “I am Queen in ‘LAr and have commanded many savages. Why be afraid of these, Jarrett 7" When the introductions to the ofcia panying the Chic!s were over, the braves quisity into the rece n room, and on y one looked at the animated of the beautiful queen o1 song, said “How” and shook hands with her, After which they performed the same ceremony with Lucca’s mamma and a little daughter of Mr, Greey, who seemed to snlcy the “hows” im- mensely. Medicine sear was the first chief intro- duced, and he seemed quite pleased when the Diva bowed to him in return, Lucca declared that “the Indians were char-ming!” Aiter every of them, including Afraid of the Bear, had saiu accom. filed ed her, they seated themselves or squatted about the reception room, and then looked at her as much as to say, “Now, what are you folng to do about ity’ They must have been pleased, for two of the biggest warriors mude her offerings of grizzly bear claws, which they presented with much gravity, ana for which Mme. Lucca thanked them 80 sweetly that even—reds as they were—tiey smiled and how'd quite warmly, When “Afraid of the Bear,” who was a little shy at first, made his appearance, Lucca clapped her hands and cried, “Nelusko! Tres magnifique I" And indeed Wick-on-Wee's get up was what Mark Twain calls “regardless; but the most amusing incident was her success in charmin: braves out of what seemed very much like a “iit of the sulks.” Lucca had taken her farewell of the party and was leaving the room when she noticed a chief crouching by the door, He was evidently “ugly” about something, and had covered his nose with his blanket in a most melodramatic fashion. “Ah, here is anoth ‘she cried, holding out her hands and howing in the most approved man- ner. No notice, “Come! how! Goothy!"" “Injun” could not stand this, and, dropping his blanket, he Jaughed, halt rose and how'd as though he had never scowled in his life. ‘This evening, at five o'clock, some of the princi- ee in fuil war paint, will return Lucca’s visi The Mtle lady is delighted with the braves, but says she feels that they might not how quite so pleasantly if she met tiem in any other wigwam than the Grand Central. OBITUARY. a oo George N. Galitzin. Advices from St. Petersburg repeat the state- ment that the well-known artist Prince George Nichoias Galitzin, who visited New York some short time since, died in the Russian capital on the 2d (0. 8.) of September, or on the 14th day of the month, according to the Gregorian calendar, Prince George Galitzin was a celebrated composer and had been just lately sent forth by the imperial Ruselan family to celebrate the arrival of His Migh- nes¢theGrand Duke Alexis in America with the music of his biggk land, He was descended from one the oldest and wea'thiest fants of the Russizn Empire, Manifest- ing at an early age an_ intense pas- sion for music, he devoted himself to its stady and practice with the heartiest fervor, Finding the duties expected from one of his aristocratic posl- high art, he sacrificed his princely oMe ss on the aitar of his passion, and attained the highest nusi- cal rank in Russia, His compositions bear a charm and delicacy that made them popwar from the first, and we doubt if there waa a person jiving more competent than he to interpret the giaad operas of Russia, which have been received witt delight by the different nations of Europe. Besides favoring the American public with some his choicest compositions, Prince Galitzin offered to our people an opportunity of jistening to the favorite gems of Sérof, which hive charmed t highest musicai circles of the Old V nobie composer enjoyed the esteem of the families of Kurope, while his efforts to interp beautiful art rendered wherever he gratiied the public with his presen OLAIMS AGAINST UNOLE SAM.

Death of the Mexican Claims Umpire. THE DEADLOCK IN THE COMMISSION, Prosecution of the Officers of the Metis. The British-American Com- mission. WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 1872, Entanglement in the Mexican Claims Commission. The death of Dr. Francis Lieber adds to the com- plications already existing in the Mexican Claims Commission, He had acted as umpire since it began its labors in 1869, The convention between Mexico and the United States provides that the two Commissioners shall name a third person as umpire; but if not able to agree upon any one each shall name an umpire, and all cases which the Commissioners shall be unable to decide shall ye referred by lot to the umpires. Ditliculty was ex- perienced in choosing an umpire before there was any case for reference, no one wishing to accept such a responsible position, William Cullen Bryant declined it, After much delay Dr. Lieber consented to accept. Now there are very serlous questions for the decision of an umpire, and trouble is ex- pected in filling the vacancy, General Wadsworth, the American Commissioner, has declared that he cannot honorably sit with Leon Guaman, the Mexican Commissioner, through Whose act the business of the Commission is ata deadlock. Inthe event of Mr. Guzman being re- called, and a Commissioner appointed who will act fairly, it is doubtiul whether a suitable umpire could be agreed upon, The United States will not accept any of the South American diplomats, and Mexico, it is said, cannot consistently ask any of the European nations to name an umpire. In the event of each Commissioner naming one the dinl- | culty is enhanced, as or Mariscal, the Mexican | Minister, would probably be designated on behall ot his government, As all questions referred abe by lot the Indian cases, amounting to 32,000,000, might fall to the Mexican umpire, and the interest of his country, it is contended, would sarily blas his judgment, Our government, vith its present Knowledge of Mexican diplomacy, is unwilling to risk anything more. 4000 counsel is expected from Caleb Cushing, the agent of the Mexican government, whose place during his absence at Geneva has been filled by Manuel Azpiroz, and who is expected here tn a few week: Cobinet Meeting. ‘The first Cabinet meeting for a number of weeks past was held toda There were present the Secretaries of State and of War, the Postmaster | General, Assistant Attorney General Hil, Assistant Secretary of the Interior Cowan, and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Richardson. | Dfississ ppl and Its African Elector. The possibility of the Presidential vote being very close has sharpened the wits of the Republican Stat» Committee of Mississippi, who recently dis- covered that one of the electors appointed was an alien African, The opinion of Attorney General Willams was askea as to his right to naturalization papers. This oficial declined to give an opinion, as it is contrary to the custom of the Department for its head to give oMcial opin- fons to any but the President and heads ot de- | partments, The committee then presented the question to the President, and the latier called for anopinion, The matter was under consideration | for some time, when it was discovered that the act of July 14, 1870, had anticipated this case, for section 7 enacts that the naturalization laws shall be extended to allens of African nativity as well as to persons of African descent, and the com- mittee have been so informed, Prosecution of the Officers of the Metis. The Solicitor of the Treasury decides that the rec- ommendation of the Board of Inspectors who conducted the examination in the Metis disaster, to revoke the licenses of the officers o! thet vessel, is in accordance with the Steamboat act. It ap- pears that the officers were licensed at New York and the vessel inspected at New Haven, while Providence was her home port. There is no ques- tion as to the jurisdiction of the inspectors of one district M revoking licenses issned in another dis- trict, where the evidence sustains charges of neg- ligence or wilful violation of the Steamboat act. The other question, as to whether Burton, Abraham Torrey, first pilot, and Willlam Palmer, second pilot, should be i{n- dicted separately or collectviely, will be decided to-morrow. Section 57 of the Steamboat act pro- vides that any captain, engineer or pilot by whose misconduct, negligence or inattention to his duties the life of any person shall be destroyed shall be deemed guilty of manslaughter, and upon convic- tion in any Circuit Court of the United States shall be sentenced to confinement at hard labor for a period of not more than ten years, As the charges against these oflicers differ they will provabiy be tried separately. The British American Claims Commis- sion. The British and American Mixed Claims Commis- sion held another long sesston to-day, and much business was done in closing proofs on the part of British claimants and extending the time ina number of cases. In the case of George Wige and Saul Isaacs vs, The | United States, No. 271, demurrer was dismissed for want of jurisdiction, The claim was for personal | property taken by the United States army. In the case of Michael Kelly vs. The United States, No. 345, claim for personal property taken and de- stroyed, a motion to dismiss was granted and the ciaim disallowed, In the case of Henry G. Bohn vs, The United States, No.538, a clatm for personal property taken, a motion to dismiss was sustained and the claim disallowed. Tn the cases of Watkins and Leigh vs. The United States, No. 400, and Dalgethy, Du Cruz & Co, vs. The United States, No, 401, demurrer was sustained and the claims disallowed. Both these cases were claims for damages caused by the seizure of a por” tion of the cargo of the Hiawatha, | An Unsuccessful Indian Qaita Que Trail, The War Department has received a report from Colonel McKenzie, commanding the Third cavalry, irom his camp at Fresh Water, a fork of the Brazos River, Texas, which point he had reached on an unsuccessful hunt for hostile Indians. He had fol- lowed the Quita Que trail acrose the Plains, and re- ports that there is upon it permanent and excellent water, and that there is no distance of more than thirty miles without water.
