10 THE COMMISSIONERS I THE CASTLE. The Hard- Won Victory of the Friends of Nicholas Muller. ate ‘What BrVaence the Committee Condeseended ta Wonsidvr and What They Discredited— Chay-ges Against the Commission Iteelf— 4x discordant Discussion—Who Is the Liart-A Seven-Hundred-Dollar Stairway by Way of Satire, An excited meeting of the Board of Emigration “was held yesterday at Castle Garden, at which the following Commissioners were present :—Messrs, o’German, Kaufmann, Wallach, Nicholson, Forrest, Hart, Lynch and Mayor Powell, of Brooklyn. It was apparent to a casual observer, upon the begin- ning of the proceedings, that some unusual dis- turbance of the drowsy serentty which usually characterizes the sittings of the body was about to-occur, and cast troublous shadows upon the Jaces ranged about the executive table. Wallach ‘Was stern and sullen, Lynch was bitter and cyni- cal, O'Gorman was polished and sarcastic, Mart ‘was gavage and glaring, Kau(mann was dceply pen- nive, Nicholson wore a deprecative and geod-na- tured air, Forrest looked grave and benevolent ‘apa Powell was observant and harmless, INCREASE OF SALARIES. The first business of importance was the report of the Ward’s Island Committee, in which it was yeoommended that the salaries of officials in that department be increased—that of the Warden from $3,000 to $3,500, that of the Deputy Warden frem $1,500 te $2,000, and those of the rest of the employés in an approximate ratio, There was need of an overseer of outdoor labor, and it was recommended that one Joseph Hern, already get- ting @ salary of $600, be appointed to fill the for- mer Office also, with a salary for both positions of $1,000, Mr. Kaufmann objected to an increase of Hern’s salary on the ground that his present position was almest a sinecure, and that it was about time that he did something a8 an equivalent for the pay which he was receiving. He objected also to the increase of other salaries. The Warden already received $3,000, and supplies frem the department to the value of $700 annually. The Deputy War- den received $2,000, and supplies to the value of $508, and Mrs. Maloy, a matron, to whose salary it ‘was propesed to add $400, had, during the years $900 worth of supplies; so that, when these facts were considered, they secmed to be amply paid for Vheir services to the Commission, He did not intend te aid in wasting the money of the Board, mor, on the other hand, in deing injury to any of the officials in its employ. On motion of Mr. Nicholson the report was re- omitted to the commitice for reconsideration. MARY QUINLAN’S LEG. ‘The report of tho regular business of the Castle arden Committee recommended that an artificial Jeg be turaished to Mary Quinlan, 1t was adopted without dissent. NICHOLAS MULLER. ‘The special report of the Castic Garden Committee ‘on the investigation of the charges preferred against Nicholas Muller was then taken up and read. It will be remembcred that on three previous eonvocations 01 the Board the absence of a quornm f members made it impossible for this question to be decided; but, all excuses for non-attendance having, perhaps, been exhausted, fate willed that At should yesterday be brought to t! f. Itisa rewarkable (act that the Commissioner, whose presence was wanted on these occasions and who ed tobe troubled with iliness, might have seen on Broadway about the same hour that Pourd were anxiously waiting his comiug. report gives What might, perhaps, be sup- posed to be a digest of the evidence adduced upon the investigation, and then the conclustens ot the sommittee ju reference to cach charge, without xupporting them by ahy arguments in their iaver, The whitewasiing Is done with commendable adroitness, As to the first enarge, it says that “no proet was submitted, except an imperfect record of the conviction or Muller in the Court of chen Sessions on August 18, 1860, fer the statu- tory nusdemeauor of soliciting an emigrant to buy at sicauship ticket without a liceuse. On this con- viction Muller Was senzenced to three months’ con- finement in the County Jal, a place rese: eniefly for the detention and punishment of civil and not criminal offenders. ‘Inere 1s,” continues ‘the report with cheeriui arbanity, «no evidence that avy fraud upon an emigrant had been cem- mitied or attempted, and this technical violation of tie statute, occurring @t so early a periol— nearly thirteen years ago—does not, in the opinion a! your committee, evince any such mera turpi- tude as would uuft a man for discharging properly the duties of ticket agent, te whica the said Muiler has been appointed by the Erie Katiway Company.”? in refereuce to the third charge the evidence of MoGrath that “he had been informed by an emi- grant o! certain alleged misconduct awe uiler?? as rejected as unreliable, but that of Muller himself epted as having great weight. In this tes- y be acknewledges that he did sell @ full first ‘s licket toan emigrant for his daughter, who yet to arrive, and for whom he was to keep it ii she should come, but neglects to say anything about.the $10 which, it is alleged, he received from the emigrant to defray the expenses oi the child on her way to Uhicago, whither he was te send her, ‘The testimony of Thomas Kenneally, the police officer, in relation to the fourth charge, is also re- jectad.as uurehabie, and that of the witness for the defence, Superintendent Casserly, is aecepted as conclusive proot ot its having no foundation, al- though the fatter witness only swore te the details of acenversation which took place several years azo. THR CHARGES UNSUSTAINED, ‘The substance of the reportis Jound im the follow- Ang words :— ‘The conclusion of your committee is that nothing has appeared in the investigation.of a nature to disqualify t id Mutler irom properly periorming the dutues of sraut ticket agent of the Krie Kailway Company ari en, ‘at Castio Mr. KaurMann made a motion that the report be «placed on file, and it was carried. Mr. WaLLacu moved that the application of Nicholas Muller to act as agent of the Erie Railway Company in Castie Garden be refused, Me entirely aliffered from the conclusions auneunced In the re- port. The Board of Emigration was in existence ‘uuply and only for the protection of emigrants. ‘They lad been, and he expected that they would ‘be in future, overcharged; but it was a duty to be performed that all that was pessibie shenid be doue to eusure them justice and proper treatment, He quoted the law in regard to THE SOLICITING OF EMIGRANTS as passengers by any persen without a license. Mr, Muller had admitted that he had disobeyed this jaw. He had acted asa “runner” without a license. In regard to the third charge, if Muller's own stalemenut was to be relied on, he bad adinit- ted thatat the time specified he bad sold @ full first clase ticket for Chicago to an emigrant fer his child, Who Was yet to arrive, and that this was be- fore he kuew anyone in Castie Garden, or anything about at. Yet he undertuok to give this ticket to the chiid inentire ignorance ef any means by which ae could be able vo find her, or at what exact time she would come. And it was only on this matter beimg represented to the Commissioners that he was induced to deliver up the ticket to the proper autherity in Castie Garden, to be given to the girl when she should arrive. He was surprised that although a law of prohibition had been passed ~ 4 the German impire, it was one ef the evils which emigrants still suffered ov Jeaving the old country to be booked on tie other side by ticket dealers, who ampreved the opportunities offered to impose eupen and rob them. To nis personal knowledge Muller had evaded this Jaw. He had appointed agents in Germany to sell papers to emigrants Which, upon presentation at his office here, were exchanged by him tor railway tickets. He wished to reter, too, to other matters—the relations of Mui- Jer, all of whom were LIVING ON EMIGRANTS. His brother was a clerk in the Ward's Island Bu- reau. His second brother had kept a bearding house in Greenwich street, and, aiter selling that Dusiness, had been guilty of a misdemeanor by the retention of the badge given him by the Board. A third brother was now in Castle Garden, and sup- plied the victuals for the emigrants. Muller pos- kessed toe much power and had too much tempta- ton to defraud the emigrants to be safely entrusted with theiranterests. He had toe great an interest in detaining emigrants here as long as possible. He had a rotier who sold them victuals and another whe kept an emigrant boarding house, Mr. Wallach insisted that the cuaracter and con- nections of Muller unfitted him ior the position to which the Erie Railway Company had appointed him. Jf there was any doubt in the matter the emigrants were entitied to it, and not this man. Mr. KAUPMANN £410 that he had voted in the com- mittee that the clarges were not sustained. The matter had, he theught, been brought forward in the Board in & nerd Wrong light. It was nota court or afury £0 decide guilt or innocence, The question was, Was Mr. Muller, in view of his ante- ecdents and charges which were brought against bit, it and proper man to be permitted to come in ct with the emigrants’ He bad been astounded to see the majority of the commit tee disregarding’the testimony of Kennealiy. He thought that any fairtnimded man must come to the conclusion that he swere to the truth. Wh 4id they not believe the testimony of Kennealiy ¢ Why had they not stated that it war because MULLER WAS AN INFLUENTIAL POLITICIAN, apalnat Whom he could pot compere?

Were they to co mto aents? They were a court of inquiry, and / justice, and their auty was to investigate the “Maracter of Mr. Muller. He appealed to the Bo'grd, ms guardians of the 1 S"ants, to exclude @ man of such doubtiul antece- ‘dents, and against whom such serious charges had been brought. Without attacking his character at ull, it was proper that he should be dismissed. Mr. Forrest explained that, in view of the ante- cedents of Muller, he should vote for his exctusion, although he did not thik the charges had been proven, Mr. Wallach said that the recommendation of Mr. Wi , of the Erie Railway, should have no in- Auence with the Board, a8 Muller was under heavy bonds to the company, and therefore they stood in Ro peril of oases. WHO 18 THR LIAR? Mesars. Lynch and Hart spoke in defence of Mul- ler, and the latter took occasion to attack Mr. Wal: Jach in a furions speeeh, which, had it been sonal and not merely unmistakable as to meaning, would have been a direct insult and mayhap the cause of a pugilistic exhibition, with which, how- ever, the Bo: was not gratutied. Referring to a letter containing charges against the Commission- ers of Emigration, which had been published in one of the morning papers, Mr, Hart sald that it must nave been writtem from imformation given by some one connected with the Board. He had seen Mr. Wallach was im the oflice ef the newspaper referred to on the previous day, and he ceuld, doubtless an- swer for himself. They were not only accused of disregard of duties, but also of pecuiatien, Who- ever, he said, had been guilty of lurnishing that in- sae to the papers for publication was a mall- jus itar Mr. Wallach excitedly asked what article was re- ferred to, and explained that the object of his visit to the newspaper office was entirely different from that which it was insinuated it had been. Mr. Hart defied anyone to convict him of dis- honesty, and Mr, Wallack said that no man could point the tinger ef dishonor at him. If Mr. Hart seid that he wrote the article in questien he would say to him what he himself had just said concerning the man who wrote it. Both gentlemen were much excited; but at this moment the President began to deliver a summary of the points of the case of Muller on either side, and declared his intention of voting in his favor. The following is the vote, which was then taken, and by which the metion of Mr. Wallach was lost :— Yxas—Mesere. Nicholson, Forrest, Kaulman and Wal- Inch: Nays—Messrs. Hart, Lynch, Powell and 0’Gorman. AN APOLOGY TO THE NEWSPAPERS. The rest of the session of the Board was con- sumed in discussion of the charges published by one ef the papers against the management of the department. The total amount of mency paid in salaries in 1871, as stated by Mr. Casserly, from the books, had been $142,000; 1m 1872, $136,000, Mr. Nicholson denied ever having sald that the ey ir creditor, it was their Mr. Casserly stated that the net expenditures for the last three years were $1,620,000, an increase of $20,000 for that period. He dented that railroad tickets were sold at ten per cent advance in Castle Garden, He knew of no overcharge of 15 per cent on the baggage of emigrants. More was paid for goid there than in Wall street. In concluding the business of the day the Board, in foal bac but in a satirical spirit it is akon voted the modest sum of $700 for the expense ot altering a stairway in one of the buildings on Ward's Island, The Bogxs then edjourned. ETHIOPIA. What a Herald Correspondent Experienced During 4,000 Miles of Travel in Africa. eee A Nh Address of Mr. Alvan S, Southworth Before the American Geographical Society. + The Soudan and the Valley of the White Nile. Mr. Alvan 8, Southworth read a lengthy paper betore the American Geographical Society last evening—Judge Charles P. Daly, the President, in the chair—at their rooms in the Cooper Institute, on “The Soudan and the Valley of the White Nile.*’ The following is a synopsis :— MR. PRESIDENT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN :— A8 a correspondent of the NEW YorRK HERALD, and with the object of joining the expedition of Sir Samuel Baker and of exploring the Upper Nile countries, I sailed from Cairo December 27, 1871, and reached Kharteom on the 6th of February, 1872, and spent nearly one year in Egypt and her provinces. The valiey of the Nile, from the first cataract where the stream ceuses to be navigable, to Cairo is remarkable alone to the travellor for its vast structures and mausoleums, The sikeahs and shadess, which are employed to raise water from the river in order that it may be used for irrigation, suggest that ne improvement has been made in Egyptain farming during 4000 years. Bat the smoke curi- ing away from tall chimneys and the noise of busy machinery in tne midst of extensive fieldsgof cane remind us that Ismail Pacha, the Viceroy of Egypt, has become the first sugar preducer in the world, Obstructions have grown up spontancously about the ninth degree of north latitude in the form of reeds; and this vegetation, multiplying and extending, arrests all floating bodies of whatever nature, an@'the result is that the provinces bor- dering Nubia, not being as avatlable for irrigation as the territory of the Delta, have suffered famine and all its train of evils simply because the stream did net attain tts accustomed level. If such fatal consequences come from mere spontaneous vegeta- tion a thousand niles away in the interior of Africa what would result if the cataraets were removed. In conversation with the Viceroy His Highness told me, “You know how the world has been crying out, ‘cut the cataracts.’ It must be with great caution that I undertake to alter the flow of the Nile. It is the blood of Egypt, and to trifle with the coursing of its waters is to experiment upon the life of my country. he engineers who have surveyed them and reported upon them say that the cataracts are necessary to Egypt; thatif they were not in the river all the water weuld rush dewn to the sea during high Nile and leave tae bed of the stream dry more than half the year. These cataracts economize the water's distribu- tion; they are valves, and check its flow, and are a part of the machinery of the Nile.’? Here we have a Continent 5,000 miles long and 4,000 miles broad, and geographers as- sert that its supports but a population of 65,000,000—less than the numbers.of the three Lutin peoples of Europe. The different races are iso- dated im oases and surrounded by deserts. while their rivers are full of cataracts and their monntains are destitute of coal. The average African is, witl- out doubt, a stupid, ignerant creature; yet I have found him, éven under @ low degree of civilization, docile, intelligent and a8 capable of geverning as of boy! geverned.

Agate bad over this number on the White Nile; Cushick Ali, 4,000; Gatase, 4,000; Bizzelli, 800. Thus the slave trade in_ the Valley of the Upper Nile is sustained by an active force quite as large as the standing army of the United States. The statistics of the slave trade show that the annual drain is 130,000 slaves. Tne average value of these slaves ts $60 ahead; that is 7,800,000 in human fiesh. How vast, then, must be'the demand for slaves when we consider that the Dee race is divided as follows, according to religion :— Brahmins... oe I have roughly computed that the Chris- tian world has spent om missionary labor in Africa, since the era of telegraphs and railroads in amount sufficient to have built a rail- road mg the line of the Equator, and to have bisected the continent from north te south. Let us be practical with the n for in his aboriginal eae 708 cannot spiritualize him. He is teo grossa being. The missionaries found at Gondokooro, foar degrees to northward of the Equator, that the young savage had religion in his soul only when he had food in his belly. Butas this mode of christianizing Africa would require too large a kitchen they abandoned their post and the blacks returned to their heathen is. It is estimated that in the nine provinces of the Soudan there are 140,000,000 acres of fine black, soft, loamy seil—an acreage that would make two productive cotton empires, each larger than France. Since my return fo the United States [have consulted Mr. Holly, an expert hydrauiic engineer in this State, and he is elaborating a system by means of which these immense tracts may be brought under Production, The natives who have not yet submitted—comprising tribes like the Dinkas, Neam-Neams—number as high as 10,000,000, though all estimates differ on this point. The measures that are necessary, then, for the development of Baypt's India are— irst—Yhe conversion of the negro and Arab lrerpggrxt from Dongola to tenth degree of north int tude, into rieulturists. . Second—Thi e building of the railroad to Lower Egypt, to Khartoom, already surveyed, which will be worth $100,000,000 annually to Egypt. Third—Honest government. Fourth—Foreign capital and European machbin- ery. The proud boast of the oficial is that in a few years the Soudan will compete with America to supply the markets of the werld, and there is no Treason why this prediction should not ultumately obti The daily life of the Soudan is not without its charms. You are up half an hour before the sun. A cup of café au lait and a cigarette incline you to walk along the bank of the Blue Nile and await the golden day burst in the Kast. But as the sum ap- proaches the meridian you are glad to seek the shelter of your mud house, where you wil! find your divan overrun by Arabs, Egyptians and turks, who have come to smoke, drink coilee and chat with you. Noon is — the breakfast hour. ons, Mutton, rice, bread and melons make a delighttul meal. The days are always intensely hot, reaching as high as 120 degrees in the shade, but the nights are cool. I always slept under blankets. If three Tules of heaith are observed in Africa you are com- paratively safe:—First, do not expose yeurself to the rays of the sun during the intense heat; sec- ond, do not drink spirits; third, be slow to anger. Upon my departure from Khartoom I left with the intention of going to reconnoitre the debouchment ot the Bahr-el-Garsal, preparatory to a lengthy voyage, the immediate object of which was to Join Sir Samuel Baker, and, having reported the progress of his expedition, to move westward, along the Equator, across Alrica to the Atlantic Ocean, in a letter dated Khartoom, June 5, 1872, and addressed to Dr. Gardner, one of the members of your society, 1 thus explained my object. “I found difficulties at almost every point on my arrival here. It was too late to go te Gondokooro; there was a passive hostility on the part of tne government. I haa left Cairo hastily and without full preparations, littie dreaming that the route by the Nile was so badly clogged up and blockaded by the ‘Sudd,’ and my ultimatum was to reach Baker. A closer view of the ground and a better knewl- edge of the tribes somewhat changed my plans. ‘The brave and expert traveller aud HERA! corre- spondent, Stauley, had left Zanzibar with @ spien- did expedition, fitted out at great cost. His mission was to find Livingstone, and I knew if any one could achieve that result it would be! Stanley. Weil, I cencluded it would be best to! push for Gondokooro, then turn westward and if possible try to reach the seacoast and traverse the African cen- tinent. Such is my present idea. Circumstances Inay change it, You kuow I believe in doing the best thing and not in pursuing a course certain to entail failure and disaster.” It was on March 18 that we were forced to anchor off Arbab Island, over three hundred miles to tue southward of Khartoom. l was enchanted with the White Nile. The river of lower Egypt basa duil, gloomy aspect compared with this broad stream, Winding around green islands under hign cultiva- tion, swelling into lakes of several miles in width. A hundred times a day the Governor General would break out with an exaiting shout, “4rd qui-eece qui-teer!”—""What magnificent soil |}? On June 17 1 began my homeward journey, sail- ing down the Nile a distance of 250 miles to Ber- ber, and thence I crossed @ second desert to the Red Sea. There is u prospect for the imme- diate civilization not only of Abyssinia, but of all the countries in the Soudan. Sir Samuel Baker is revolutionizing the great basin of the Nile, ané he wiil scarcely return without set- tling the main question ef doubt concerning the sources of that mighty river. I am glad to say that his reputation im the Soudan is one. of which any traveller might be proud. Of Dr. Schweinfurth, at is ee | to say that his discoveries were con- firmed by the men who accompanied him. He had left Khartoem some months vefore my arrival, but 1 saw many persons who inspected the dwart he brought down froin the created regions, This pigmy was about three feet high, and was, as near as I could learn, half monkey, half man. ‘The im- portance of his discovery lies in the jact that the race of Tick-y-Ticks is the first living proof that we are allied to the beast world—giving probably more satisfaction to Mr, Darwin than to those wao still contemplate our parents in the Garden ef Eden. ‘ihe most interesting traveller 1 met during my stay in the Soudan was the Arab Shygette: who is probably the only man who has ever crosse Airica to the northward ef the Equator. My con- versations with him were long and frequent, but as he had no idea of a map they were without value. He was @ waardering Arab priest. As @ Mohammedan he had no trouble in walking trom Senegal threugh Timbuctoo, Wadia, Darioor to the White Nile and Khartoem, a belt of territory where the peeple believe “there is but one God and Mo- hammed is his prophet!? He claims to have seen ruins, ancient temples, obelisks and Seis along his mareh, indicating that the Ethiopian empire once extended inte the heart of the Con- tinent. In Wadia he claims to have seen the grand- est relics. I tried to buy his manuscripts in Arabic; but he resolutely refused, because he Jeared that the government might oppress him in case he sold them, His reputatien 1s, however, Uhat of a blagueur, Of the sources of the Nile it ts hardly my prov- ince tospeak. Yet I have noticed one striking fact, during my travels in Africa which I consider of great weight im deciding this question. ‘the Conti- nent is covered with vast depressions, which were undoubtedly in pre-historic times the sites of great lakes. Deep gorges intersect the deserts. ‘Their canfiguration points to the conclusion that the: were once river beds. But the bodies of water ant streams which once bil raed the vaileys are dried jany causes may have effected this result. in Airica to the confluence of the Whive and Blue Niles was a great empire—and proofs of its puissance are being daily discovered about Khar- toum and the Great Bend of the Nile in the form of buried ruins—it is ssible that high cultivation and great cities were preductive 1 copious rains, We all know that trees and vege- tation will produce rains where they would not otherwise fall. These dried-up water courses, then, and empty basins are doubtless bequeathed us as apart of the general ruin which Africa has suf fered, Keeping this theery in mind how can Dr. Livingstone see] absolutely sure that the sources of the Nile have remained unchanged since the days of Ptolemy? Itis believed that from time te time Africa has been visited with great uphcavals, All the mouatains I have seen are purely cunic. Might not volcanic action have ti the geography of the wer sheds? May not Dr, Livingsteane’s new lake: re been empty basins in the time of Ptolemy ? ‘To show you how great phy- sical chamges may take piace in Africa note one fact, that twenty years ago you could ge to Gone dokoro in twenty days, and now ittakes nearly a year to penetrate the White Nile obstrucuons, Which the best infermed of the Seudan fear may ultimately cause the aeflection of the White Nile by lateral outlets, in which case Lower Egypt would wither into an arid waste, The Viceroy is absolute in Egypt. That fertile land is his capital stock. It is just the same as if Egypt were deposited in the Bank of England and His Mighness should draw checks against its market value. The Soudan is his great pride and charge. He is determined to push railways and telegraphs te its remotest peoples, and to acquire as much territery as he can occupy and control, What are the Viceroy’s foreign relations? ‘Turkey has never siackened her appetite since the found- ers of her present, empire Europe crossed the Bosphorus, and the last evidence o! her greed has in the $15,000,000 which the suitan compla- cently received irom the Khedive.
