Conant, a grand na- tional mass meeting was ordered to be held in Philadelphia in 1876, in connection with the Cen- tennial celebration, and the Chair was authorized to appoint a committee to make the arrangements. Mr. W. E. Dopas, in an address, presented the claims of the National Publication Society, and Rey, T. u. Cuyler added a few words, 1t transpired that $10,000 were needed to pay the indebtedness of the society, Mr. W. E. Dodge, of New York, sub- scribed $2,000, and Remington, ot Ilton, $1,000, Uther persons subscribed smaller sums untii the sum of $11,000 was raised. The Chair announced the following Committee on Finance:—Rev. George L. Heck, of New York; James M. Usher, of Massachusetts, and Kev. Wil- Mam Sears, of Auburn. Rev. Mr. JOOELYN, from the Committee on Reso- lutions, submitted a series of resolutions in sub- stance as foliows:— The first congratulates the friends of temperance on the progress made since the last meeting in 1863. ‘The second declares that total abstinence from all intoxi¢&ting drinks, brewed or distilled, is the true basis of temperance reform. After the adoption of these resolutions the Con- vention took a recess till three o’clock P, M. Afternoon Session. The Convention reassembled at three o'clock P.M. The question pending was on the third reso- lution, that venders of intoxicating liquors or owners of premises occupied by them should be held responsible for damages caused by inebriates, and alter discussion it was adopted. The following was also read and adopted :— Fourth—That all temperance societies advocate the re- al of all State license laws, and urge Congress to puss laws for the abolition of the manufacture and sale of in- toxicating liquors in the District of Columbia and the Territories. The ith resolution was as follows :— Resolved, That the time has arrived fully to introduce the temperance issue in State and national politics; we recommend all friends of temperance to make tt henceforth the paramount issue, and we do hereby pledge our adherence to the national prohibition party, and recommend thatit be organived in each town and city and county and district and State in the Union, and, appealing tothe God of righteousness and justice for guidance and support, we will maintain these organizations antl success crowns our eftorts, A. M. POWELL, of New York, moved to strike out the words after “paramount issue” and insert as follow: “To co-operate with existing party or- ganizations when such will endorse the legislative Policy of prohibition and- nominate candidates pledged to its support, otherwise to organize and maintain @ separate independent party action in every State and in each ngressional aud elec- torai district in the United States.” Mr. POWELL sustained mendment in an en- ergetic speech, A en debate ensued, in which much was said of the infidelity of pelitical parties and of the republican party in particular. Mr. O'DONNELL defended the republican party, claiming it had done all that was ever done for temperance in the way of legislation, citing the Civil Damage law and the three amendments in behalf of tue temperance cause to existing laws. Mr. UsHER moved the following as a substitute :— Resolved, That, the mode of application of the law, whether by prohibition, local probibition or otherwise, Whether through existing of independent parties, must be determined by the circumstances existing In different jocalities. Further debate was had, when it was ordered that the question should be taken at a quarter to six P.M. On the arrival of that time the question was taken on Usher’s substitute, and it was nega- tived. The question was then taken on Powell's amendment, and it was carried by a vote of 70 to on resolution, a8 amended, was then adopt . The sixth resolution, asking Congress to provide at its next session for the appointment of a com- mission to inquire inte the effect of intemperance on the public welfare, was adopted.

It is said that hereafter instead of the morning, the organization meetings of this Depart- ment will be in the evening. They continue to be held privately, and neither reporters nor others are admitted, this being the only public Board in the county which holds its meetings secretly. Last night the work done was simply a continua- tion of that transacted at the meeting last Wednes- day. The bylaws, which are to be entirely changed, were discussed during a couple of hours, and the question of the Presidency of the Board was not on the tapis. This being the Omly salaried office in the Board, it Is said there 1s great competition to get it, an the lucky man cannot easily be selected. The other work done was of @ routine character.

This is sine in the pregent state of the river. ‘The object o1 the Viceroy’s expedition was to suppress the slave trade of the White Nile and to annex the Nile countries to Egypt. For this purpose I demanded 1,645 troops. Every one of the Viceroy’s subjects in the Soudan is in favor of THE SLAVE TRADE. Thus every intrigue haa been used to ruin the progress of the expedition. The numerous slave stations, which formerly belonged to various own- ers, Were purchaseu by one man, who thus became sole proprietor of the trade throughout about ninety thousand square miles of country, This great extent embraces pote tribes, all of which the slave hunters incited against the government, ‘The intrigues of the chiefslave hunter, Abou Saocod, prciongs the Bari war. ‘his man armed several undred Baris with gans to act with his people in defiance of the government.

Leaving 800 men at headquarters, I papucep THE BAKIS THOROUGHLY with 200 troops. [ then pushed on with 114 men to Loboré, elghty-seven miles from Ismailia, and en- gaged 400 carriers. These 1 seut back to fetch up hy baggage with the 100 men left in charge, while I waltod’ at Lo . <All arrived safely, and I pushed on to _ Fatiko, miles from Ismailia. Here I found the slave hunters’ head station, together with the rascal Abou Sacod. I gave him and his people, written notice to quit, together with those of Fabbo and Faloro, each about eighteen miles apart, forming @ chain of three large stations, I tormed a station at Fatiko, close to the slave hunters’ camp, where | left Major Abdullah and 100 men. With 114 men! pushed on to Unyoro, seventy-nine miles distant, crossed the Victoria Nile and arrived at the last station of the slave hunters, near Karuma Falls. This was com- manded by Suleiman, a rufian whom I had known on my former voyage. This fellow quickly mur- dered with his own hand « native to whom I had given protection. I captured h together with twenty-five of his men; the remainder, about sixty, fled to Fabbo, Unyoro had been ruined by these people, After Kamrasi’s death the country was at civil war, Each aspirant to the throne had been Aen! and treacherously supported by bands o THE SLAVE HUNTERS from Fabbo and other stations, although they be- longed to one proprietor. They killed Kabka Miro, the rightful heir, and placed his half-brother, Kabba Réga, on the throne. Abou Saood visited the new King, and represented me as a horrible monster that he must resist stould | attempt to enter his country. I arrived after Abou Savod had left. The poison of scandal had left suspicion in the mind of the cowardly and treacherous young King.

He ad planned that 1 should drive out the siave- hunters first; alter which he would exterminate us by means of poison, and possess himself of the nu- merous effects belonging to the government. My men started in charge of the slave-hunters on the 23d 01 May, 1872. They were waylaid in the grass jungle and eleven were killed.

I had formed @ beautiful station at the capitai town, Masindi, north latitude 1 46, east longitude elevation above sea level, about ery. miles eas! of the Albert Nyauza. Tuis elevated spot com- manded an extensive view, terminated by the blue mountains of the Albert Nyanza on the west. Vast masses of mist Dolied up trom the Jake at sun- rise, the waters of which I first sighted on April 21 (this journey). My station was protected by a strong but small fort, Masindi was tbe King’s headquarters, containing about seven thousand men, with body guard, no of whom were armed with guns. Seven large jars of plantain cider were sent to me by Kabba Réga on the even-_ tg of the 7th of June, Not liking sucti trash, I sent five jars to the Uolonel to be served out to the troops. In about ten minutes those who had drank were poisoned, Ijgave large doses of strong emetics. Some men were insensible, others delirious. J shut up the invalids within the fort and doubled the sentries, The next morning, the 8th of June, I sent my most active officer, Lieutenant and Aide-de-Cimp Mon- son, together with @ corporal, to request the at- tendance of the chief who had delivered the cider, A few minutes alter their departure 1 wag roused by J SAVAGE YRLLS ON ALL SIDES, Two shots were fired in the distance, followed by rapid shooting from the castor oil bushes within & few yards of me. ‘Two soldiers tell dead close to me, and we were Masel abd tana by many thou- sands without the slightest warning.

The action became general and I quickly assumed the offensive with the Snider rifles, We charged into the town, settl fire to the houses on both flanks. In about an hour the battle was won, and Masindi entirely destroyed. Great numbers of the enemy were killed. Our loss waa four killed and one wounded. 1 was without interpreter or guide.

Nevertheless, there ig an enormous volume brought down by Speke’a Victoria source. If lakés cannot be accepted as actual sources, the fact is plainly established that the Victoria and Albert are the two great reser- voirs of the Nile. The White Nile issuing from the Albert Nyanza is now well known to be navigable as far north latitude 3 deg. 32 min., the point at which the river falls suddenly in a succes. sion of cataracts. Iam now arranging a station above the falis at that spot, to which I trust the steamers will be conveyed. ‘The importance of steam navigation is immense, as the entire trade of the Tanganyika will be added to that of the Al- bert Nyanza, now known to be one vast sheet of water.
