LIVINGSTONE FULL ACCOUNT OF HIS DEATH English Tributes to His Memory. The Closing Scenes. ‘Majwara’s Account of the Last Days of Dr. Liv- Apgatone, by F. Holmwood, H. B. M. Consulate, Zanzibar, was read at the last meeting of the Royal Geographical Society in London, and is as follows :— ZANZIBAR, March 12, 1874. My Dear Siz BanTLE—No doubt you will hear from several interested in Dr. Livingstone; but, as Ido not feel sure that any one has thoroughly H examined the men who came down with his re- mains, 1 vriefty sammarize what I have been able ‘to glean from a careful cross-examination of Maj- | ‘Wara, who was always at his side during his last Gays, and Susi, as well ag the Nassick bovs, have generally confirmed what he sayr, I inclose a small sketch map, merely giving my idea of the locality, and have addeu a dotted line to show bis route during this last journey of his life. eompared with ite former prevalence. This siave me ls soceined Uisrastune as anes 4 of mmpene rrier along coas and there eons Yeasou to belleve that the Arab traders did succeed in a considerable meas- ure in bafiling, or at least delaying, his effort, and that hig deatn may thas indirectly be ascribed to them. Tne trade had a sttli worse effect in destroying all confidence among the natives and setting tribe against trive, When this miserable trade 1s finally suppre: when legitimate com- merce is established with interior and the in- fluences of civilization are fairly admitied to the heart of that long mysterious Continent, the people who, after centuries of darkness and oppression, will at length be emancipated ought to pronounce Do name with greater honor than that of Living- stone. His last ietter did just honor to the exer- tions of statesmen; but it was his self-devotion and his genius which rendered their exertions Livingstone and Slavery. (From the London Teiegraph.} It will be tne duty of England, when the hallowed relics of this good man are laid in Westminster Abbey, to carry out his bequest, which is that we make No terms with slavery, but extinguish it and set Africa free, Thus shall we complete tne un- finished honor which we have acquired in history as the emancipating nation. It 1s characteristic of Livingstone’s steady patience and perfect faitn in God that all he did to serve Africa falls out | timely and powertul. It, is two years since he penned those descriptions of Alrican Ife and those eloquent denunciations of the tramMic that causes it, The party sent by Stanley lett Unyanyemoe ‘With the Doctor about the end of August, 1872, and | marched straight to the south of Lake Tangan- | yika, through Ufipa, crossing the RuogWa River, Where they met with natural springs of boiling | ‘water, bubbling up high above the ground. On Yeaching the Chambezi, or Kambezi River, they Crossed it about a weex’s journey from Lake Bemba, also crossing a large leeder; but by Susi’s advice Livingstone again turned northward, and recrossed the Kambezt, or Luapula, a8 he then called it, just before it entered the lake. He could not, however, keep close to the north | Dearly a year ago since he died; yet the spirit- which we have already publisned, and it ts | moving fetters, full ot such gentle love of | Alricaps and such wrath against their tyrants, come to us just belore the arrival of bis bouy. What could be more calculated to awaken Engiand to an earnest sense of her duty? No di- piomatic skili could have timed events to fall to- | gether with sucn jorce. We cannot honor his ashes witaout remembering what he would have said if he had been living tustead of dead. His si- | lence speaks and bids us never draw back trom the ood work begun at Zanzibar till Arab slavery shall be-put down. His language to the mission- ary societies Will surely instil & new spirit into their emissaries, a spirit sorely needed ;,and, ina guore of Lake Bema, owing to the nume;ous creeks aud streams, which were hidden in forests of high grass and rushes. After making a detour, he-again struck the lake at a vulage, where he got canves Across to an island in the centre, called Matipa. Here the shores on either hand were not viatbie, and ihe Doctor was put to great straits by the na- tives dechining to let him use their canves to cross to the opposite shore.

It is diMcult to appreciate the strength of will, the endurance and the iaith which enabled him to sustain journeys of thou- sands of miles in unknown and barbarous coun- tries, in spite of tevers, ulcers, scanty food and the barest shelter. For the last few years he has evi- dently been tramping day aiter day through path- leas woods, with physical weukness steadily Li upon him, and sustained mainly by his in- Somitabie resolve to solve the proviem he bad pro- 'd to himself. From this point of view alone ie history of his travels 1s a rare exhibition of fortitude, There 18 some reason to apprehend ‘that, at the last, his geograplucal instinct iatled him, and, perhaps, he was spared one great mor- tification in having to learn that the ultimate sources of the Nile still remained to be discovered. But that, alter more than six years’ absence, he should still have been tramping through marshes am pursuit of his aim will be remembered as one of ‘the most conspicuous instances of human perse- verance. These qualities alone, however, would Rot have covferred on him the distinction which will now be attached to hisuame. His greatest merit is that the ultimate end for which he em- | ployed them was anodie one, and that he dis- cerned better than any one who had previously parsued it the only method by which it couid be | effectuaily attained. He was, from first to last, in | heart @ missionary; but it may probably be said Witn justice that he originated a new conception of the true methods of misstoaary work. He was Bot @ missionary who abaudoned his’ proper vocation jor that of @ traveller, but he was the first missionary who tully reaiized that travel and the mutual intercourse which it pro- motes are the first conditions requisite for tue g@uccessiul introduction of his message among un- civilized tribes. ‘The dbminant thougnt of his later letters seems to be that the tsolation o! tribe from tribe and of nation irom nation i4 the most fatal curse of human nature.

Sprague, on the charge of having embezzled moneys belonging to the city, | was Snally commenced in the Brooklyn Court of | Sessions yesterday before Judge Morris. The de- fendant, who has been stopping at his country | residence in Orange county for several months past, appeared in Court at ten o'clock, attended by his counsel, Francis Kernan, of Utica, D. P. Bernard and Edwin Moore. Joshua M, Van Cott, District Attorney Rodinan and bis assistant ap- peared for the prosecution, The court room was throaged by interested spectators, in- cluding many local politicians, friends and acquaintances of the deiendant. Among the wit- Desses subpwenaed und present were Comptroller Schroeder and Alderman Ropes. lt was noticed that Marvin I. Rodman, Mr. Sprague’s deputy, did not put in an appearance, Shortly aiter ten o’clock the case was called on, when the District Attorney asked for s postpone- ment until twelve o’clock, in consequence of the absence of an Important witness for the prosecu- tion, Mr. Warren, the accountant, who was ex- pected to arrive from Newburg by that hour. ‘No objection was offered by the defence, and the trial was postponed until noon. At that time all the parties appeared, and the Contrary to general expectation, a jury was obtamed with little or no difiiculty, as follows:—Harrison B, Abbot, No. 849 Lafayette avenue, no occupation; Peter A.

District Attorney Rodman then proceeded to open m THE CASE FOR THE PROSECUTION. He spoke substantially as follows:— The prisoner at tie bar, Cortiandt a.

Heis charged with having, as the ‘treasurer ol the City of Brooklyn, embezzled large sums of ublic money intrusted to his custody and care. le was elected Treasurer of this city in the year 1868 for the term of three years. At the expira- | won of that term he was re-elected to the same re- sponsible and important office ier the term of three years more. The people of this city trusted bi a8 a public servant; aud he took the oath of of office whereby he swore to perform his duties as Treasurer of this city faitatully and honestly. No greater trust can be reposed in any zen of this great city than the trust of City Treasurer, By the charter of 1854, was then in force, under which he was elected and re-elected, itis made the duty of tne Vity Treas- | Urer to take care and custody of ail the revenues of the city, ail the moneys of the city from ail aources, the procecds of taxation, the sale of city bonds, the payment of water rents—all these are ured into the nande of the City Treasurer, jim they are confided. amount to.

The tax col- lections are larger sometimes iu the year than | Other times; but the collecting goes on every day. | The Tax Collector, therefore, during these years was paying to the City Treasurer the proceeds of taxes and assessinents collected by lim, and paid over to the City Treasurer by his check drawn on summer by George L.

Sometimes it was $5,000, sometimes $30, and sometimes $200,000, and that check Was made payable to the order of Cortlandt A. Sprague, City Treasurer. It was delivered to the City Treasurer, and .then it was his duty, as we shall show, and as the charter requires, to deposit the | money the same day in one of the depositories of the city’s junds, either in one of the banks or tn the Brooklyn Trust Company. In some cases, respect- ing which evidence will be produced, checks were recetved to the whole amount and the checks were appropriated and never placed to the city’s credit in any deposit. And the Way in whico Sprague, as we understand it, obtained tho benefit of that transaction was this, While he was City ‘Treasurer he was also a trustee of the Brooklyn Trast Company, and the office of the City Treasurer was kept in the office of the Brooklyn Trust Oom- pany. It was A WHEEL WITHIN A WHEEL, and that arrangement offered an easy mode of comuitting this great, alleged wrong. Being in- terested in that company, he had a private bunk account there, Sometimes the amount paid over to tun by the Tax Collector, instead of being placed { to the cretiit of the city in the Brookiyn Trust Com- pany, was simply transferred to the credit of Sprague, and he drew the money. Sometimes he would draw his own check on tne Brooklyn Trnst | Company and appropriate the money to humseif. r y " square, In eaother cdkee” ae tue tesumony will show, | Te tial of Alderman William Stainsby, Chief of | aR DWARDS.—On Friday afternoon, April 2%, Mrs. the check of the’ Tax Collector, payable to the | Police Peter F, Rogers, Inspectors Dyke aud Beol- | Nancy §., widow o1 Benjamum B.

Sprague, City Treasurer, would be received at the Brooklyn Trast Company, which was also the office of the City Treasurer, and, instead of the whole check being piaced to the creat of the city, the larger portion oi it city, and the balance was appropriated to the benefit of Sprague. And it was done in this way, as & matter ol figures and arithmetic; and we shall show you the deposit checks, which are the memoranda showing the deposit made witn the teller of tne bank. This deposit check is headed “City of Brooklyn. Suppose the amount of the ‘Tax Collector was $35,000, and the intention was to deposit’ $30,000, the amount was put cow: $25,000, then the words “deduct” or *less’? then $30,000 was put to the credit of the city, and at the same time the check of the Trust Company was given to Sprague tor $5,000 by way of change. So that the city got credit for $30,000, being $5,000 loss than the Tax Collector's check, and Sprague got the check of the Trust Company payadie to his | mdividual order for the balance. ‘That was the So it was, as my colleague suggests, & matter of change over the counter of the Trust Company, and ° THAT ARRANGEMENT WaS FACILITATED, by the-fact that the Secretary of the Trust Com- pany, Mr. Rodman, was the deputy of Sprague, the ity ‘Treasurer, aud these checks un the Trast Com- pany are ss by Millis, the President, and Rod- man, the Secretary, payable to Spragae; and in all cases it will appear, when we produce these ¢hecks, that these checks were indorsed by | Sprague, andin many cases we will trace these rectly nto SPRAGUR’S PRIVATE BANK ACCOUNT. It appears to us that it was a deliberate plan by which the moneys of the city, instead of being dé- josited in the City Treasury, were placed in the Fands of Cortlandt A. Sprague. After the close of Mr. Rodman’s addreas, Mr. Barnard, of counsel for defence, said that there citi | ‘to | You know what they | regate of the deficiency then existing was , $5,000; | were toed!

Mr. Vau Cott did pot think it the duty of the Court at that time to interfere in the matter. Mr. Barnard contended that it was the province of the Court to direct the counsel for the prosecu- tou to make their selection of tne cuarge upon which they should prosecute. The Court of Errors had held that when two or more offences were ona: the prosecution could be compelled to designate the count on which they invended to prosecute, andes Moore remarked that he preferred to wait until the evidence was in before passing upon the character o1 the ofence, and thereiore would not compel the prosecution now to elect their charge. ‘The Mistrict Attorney read the oaths of office taken by the delendant in 1868 and 1571, and tne | defence conceded that Mr. Sprague had been elected and acted as City Treasurer, ‘The letter | of the deiendant to the Mayor and Common Council requesting an examination of his books ‘when fie resigned was also read, TESTIMONY OF MR.

The first | witness sworn was Joseph H. Wightman, who was | present ut the meeting on Springfleld avenue, in March, 1873, of the official and diasutis- | fled property owners. He heard Stainsby say that the pavement was not properiy finished, but would be. This witness testified, further, that he had measured the depth of the pavement in some fitteen different places along the street and found | it to be from six inches to twelve inches. In one | place he ound if seven inches at the gutter stone and nite inches four and # half teet irom | the gutter stone; these examinations were | made in just September; he also found & considerable quantity of dirt mixed in with the pavement, On cross-examination Mr. Wightman was asked, as many other witnesses | had been asked by counsel ior tue deiense, | bs he did not compiain a second time to the ofli- | ctals abont the character of the work. He replied ; that the oMcia's had caused a card to be pubitshed | in @ local paper stating untruths as to the result | Of the first investigation, and that he and others | had been SUBJECTED TO PUBLIC RIDICULE. This they wished to avotd, and instead of going again to the officials, they concinded to seek re- dress in court.

Witness also swore tbat in one of hts examumations be jounad no toundation stone whatever, but, instead, small stone. Lawrence Hotz and Stephen D. Aver both swore to having measured the pavement and finding tt, like all the other witnesses, lacking in depth and well mixed with dirt instead of traprock fling. The witness Aber testified that he COMPLAINED TO STAINSBY about the large quantity of earth that was being used. Stainsby suid he thought it would make @ more solid road to co so. Dirt was heaped on the stone every day. ‘Ihe largest quantity was put on | the first layer of stone, The pavement was so im- perfect that in some places it could be dug up with the hand. THE MOST IMPORTANT WITNESSES for the prosecution wcre Andrew Hill and James G, Owen, both experts in Teliord pavement con- | struction. Before tuese witnesses were called ob- | jection was made by defendant’s counsel to the } Introduction of such witnesses, After a brief | argument, in whicn the Attorney General partici- pated with much forcinitty, Judge Depue decided to admit such evidence, saving thas in civil suits such a@ line of exauination was allowable tn order | toshow theextent ol the damage sustained by bad workmanship. Jn @ criminal case like this the reason for admitting such testimony was still stronger, and was pre-emivently necessary in order to show the fraud in the devia- | tion from the provisions of tue contract. Mr. Hill | then took the stand. He had, he said, thirteen | years’ exper‘ence in iaying Teliord pavement, and , Was four years engazed in that business tn Central | Park, New York. He guve @ description of how | Tellord pavement was properly laid, and said that ' asohd bottom was irst neces-ary, and that each stone of the Uist layer should be laid in by haad, | dirt nor soil should be ased in a good pavement. | but that al) should be solid traprock, When dirt was put in such & pavement it was done, the wit- Ness sald, solety TO BENRFIT THE CONTRACTOR, for he could do his work quicker and cheaper than | ihe used stone, The effect of using dirt, the wit- | ness turtier said, was that the frost would heave | it in the spring and in rainy weather the pave- | ment would be little better than a mud road; his | ractice Was not (o use either dirt or sand in lay- | Ing Telford pavement. Mr. Jumes KB. Owen, Ohiet Engineer of the Essex County Road Board, and also enuineer of the Board of Freeholders, was | the next important witness, He swore that under his supervision there had been laid some } titeen miles of ‘Telford pavement in Essex county, | He fully corroborated the evidence of Mr. Hil, who has more practical than scientific knowledge of avements, Mr. UWen swore that the prificipal | feature of a Teliora pavement ts to have a solid ; foundation; the true binding ts to fill the inter- ) Btices becween the stone by particles of the stones themselves, It would not be workman-like to put | dirt upon the bottom stone; ii the dirt was placed | Upon the first stone it would be injurious. Jn an- | Swer to a question by the Attorney General, Mr, | Owen stated that in England, where a great deal | of Teiford pavement was used, dirt was always excluded and notuing "as in but pure traprock. | In such pavements, if the ioundation stone | Was not o! sufiictent size it would be a radical de- ject, and much more serious than if the upper Jay- ers were not the requisite depth.
