SURVEYING THE GREAT LAKE (SPECIAL DESPATCH TO THE HERALD BY CABLE.] Lonnon, Sept. 26, 1875. Iam happy to inform you that intelli- gence has been received at the office of the Daily Telegraph from the famous African ex- plorer, Henry M. Stanley, at the head of the Henarp and Telegraph expedition, which will relieve the minds of many anxious friends who have been solicitous for his safety and who feared that his silence for some months past was of bad augury. TWO LETTERS, Two letters, with maps, have arrived from Mr. Stanley at the office of the Daily Tele- qraph. WHERE STANLEY 18, Both letters are dated from the village of Kagehiji, district of Uchambi, in the country Usukuma, situated on the Victoria N’yanza, the first on March 1 and the other May 15, A SPLENDID MARCH. In the beginning of March Stanley had reached the shores of the Victoria N’yanza Lake, having accomplished the remarkable march of 720 miles in 103 days. It will be remembered that he started from Zanzibar -on November 17, 1874. DIFFICULT TRAVELLING. During the journey he passed through a ‘totdlly new country, much of it covered by , primeval forest and jungle BLOODY CONFLICTS. In this forest country he suffered greatly ‘frgm hunger, and was engaged for several days in a conflict with a fierce and treacher- sous people called the Natura, in which he lost twenty-one of his followers. POCOCK AND BARKER DEAD. He grieves to add that Edward Pocock and Frederick Barker had succumbed to fever. Stanley speaks of them in terms of the high- est praise and deep regret, SURVEYING THE GREAT LAKE, With his diminished force Stanley made @ close survey of tho great lake, Victoria N’yanza. A REMINISCENCE OF EDWARD POCOCK. The announcement of the death of tho gallant young Englishman, Edward Pocock, will recail to the minds of many of our readers incidents related by him and his brother Francis at the start of the present expedition, ‘The following letter from him, written just before the ‘voyage to tho Lufiji, will be read with melancooly in- terest:— Zanzipar, Sept. 24, 1874, Dear Parexts—I hope this will fina you in good «health, as it leaves us all in the best of health at ‘present, Wo arrived hore yesterday, after a fine pass- ago, This place is much better than’Aden, It is beau- tiful weather, something like England in summer, if you wasn’t to see the blacks, Thero is plenty of oranges and. all fruits. We are staying at the American consul’s. Plenty of good grub—good beef. I expect we shall stay here about a week, and then we shall start for the river and try it, and then back to Zanzibar again, so we cun write again. Africa isnot half so bad as people make out; it is most beautiful. You can walk about with a jacket on and don’t sweat, I have just enjoyed myself witha piece of sugarcane. We bave nothing w do whatever; get coolies to wait on us for everything we want. The place is swarmed with cocoanut trees, Wo will send our photographs next letter. All you want here is to keep steady and not drink; you can then get * along all right. * * * Your affectionate son, EDWARD POCOCK. —Coffee at six A. M.; breakfast, r, five; tea, half-past six.

THE NEWSPAPER CONTROVERSY OVER THE CON- DITION OF THE BANK OF CALIFORNIA—THE SUPPORTERS OF RALSTON BENT ON MISCHIEF— THE LIBEL SUITS, Sax Francisco, Sept. 26, 1875, The publication in the Heraup of facts favorable to the early resumption of business by the Bank of Call- fornia has contributed largely to allaying, in financial circles abroad, uneasiness about the stability of this country. Business men here fully appreciate this val- uable service and are very frank in their acknowledg- ments that the people are much indebted to the Hernan. A few weeks will now suffice to drive into forgetfulness the painful accident that at one time threatened to en- gulf so many commercial men in ruin, On the 29th of August the Associated Press Agent sent from hero the following: — THR ASSOCIATED PRESS DESPATCH, It is a well settled fact that the failure of the Bank of California i# total and that it will never attempt to re- sume business. Its stock is worse than worthless, With liabilities of more than $14,000,000, the highest estimate puts its assets at $8,000,000, bat ‘it is doubtful if $6,000,000 can be realized. Now even the Cail is forced to publish this morning that the nominal assets of the bank are $20,000,000, of which $16,000,000 is considered perfectly good, though the account may shrink to $14,000,000 in process of collect tion. I donot think thatI have seen anywhere the ‘statement of the bank's liabilities to exceed $13,000,000, ACTION OF THK BUSINESS MEN. I saw this morning, lying upon a desk in the leading club room, a paper waiting for signatures, addressed to the Directors and Managers of the New York Associated Press, in which Manager J, W. Simonton and his agent here, W. M. Webster are denounced in very severe terms, and their removal from office requested, On making further inquiry, I find that the ninety vice- presidents of the great Ralston memorial meeting are now putting their autographs to a paper addressed to those same directors and ers covering the pre- amblo and all the resolutions adopted at the meeting both in Union Hall and outside, THE NEWSPAPER LIREL CASE is entered upon with great earnestness, The Bulletin and Call are said to be preparing for a terrible carnage and mean to compel the bank directors to swear and the books of the institution to confess to a terrible state of things. ‘The case against the Alta is regarded a8 a mere pretext for getting the bank books into court. On the other hand, the Alfa is going to do dreadtul things with the reputation of the proprietors of the two papers, The Beecher-Tilton scandal will be nothing to the corruption that is to be exposed among the distin- guished members of the Bar who volunteer service to the Alta. There are the names of such giants as John B, Felton, Judge Delos Lake, Thomas Fitch, George Barstow, Hall McAllister, D. W. Douthil and K. W. McGraw. There is to be no delay, as the combatants are eager for the fray. A CARD FROM MR. SIMONTON. Ovvice ory THs New York Associarep Prass, Naw Yorx, Sept. 26, 1875. } To Tax Eprror or tae HeRaup:— . In the interest of truth and honest journalism, I ask permission, through your columns, to notity the pub- lic—which is ultimately just—that this office still main- tains the good faith and perfect propriety of every sine of its California reports in connection with the sus- pension of the Bank of California, Ina few days we shall be permitted to present such evidence in justifica- tion as must silence the most unreasonable of our accusers, It will then be seen that our delay in producing this evidence was dictated by wiso regard to public interests, and that, to this end, the undersigned has submitted in silence, if not with patience, to an avalanche of unjust calumny. For the present let me only remind you that it was Promised, prior to the Ralston meeting held in San Fran- cisco on the Sth inst, that there would be presented on that occasion a statement, signed by the Bank of Califor- nia directors, impeaching our reports in their most vital points, No such authoritative statement was made, and none of the directors were present at the meeting, not even Senator Sharon, the warmest, truest and most generous friend that the late Mr. Ralston ever had. When you are informed as to the reasons con- trolling these significant facts, as you soon will be, de- pend upon it that the Associated Press reports of the jate disaster will be more than justified. I write of what I know and am not venturing an opinion or sur- mise, Meantime, in view of the atrocious libels of myself in connection with this affair, L have only to say that their authors will surely be given opportunity to justify them if they can in the courts whenever a respectable and responsible party shall venturo their utterance otherwise than in the form of “privileged communica- tions” protected by law. No such opportunity has yet been afforded to me, because my slanderers are as cunning in cowardice as they aro malicious and brutal in invention. Respectfully, J. W. SIMONTON, POWDER EXPLOSION. THREE BUILDINGS BLOWN UP—CAUSE OF THB ACCIDENT—A PANIC AMONG THE AUDIENCE IN A CHURCH HAPPILY SUPPRESSED. Newnvre, N. Y., Sept. 26, 1875, At the powder mill explosion, four miles west of this city, last night, three buildings ‘blew up—two wheel mills and the batch house, The last named contained about 300 pounds of powder and the wheol mills con- tained about 100 pounds each. The mills were run night and day. The explosion first occurred in one of them, and the concussion caused the explosion of the others, CAUSE OF THR AccIDENT. It is supposed that the first explosion was caused by the machinery, A workman left the building five minutes. before the accident, and overything was all right then—no hot journals. Another workman was in the open air, a few rods from one of the buildings, when it exploded. He was covered by the débris, but not seriously hurt. No others were hurt THE DAMAGE. All the buildings at the works are more or less dam- se but the total loss will not exceed $2,000. The batch house was erected eighty years ago, having till now escaped destruction from numerous explosions dur- ing that time. THE CONCUSSION of last night’s explosion was felt over a wide extont of country. In this city buildings were shaken, and it was supposed at first to be an earthquake. PANIC IN A CHURCH, At the time of the explosion a lurge audience had as- sembled in the Union Presbyterian church, at the State Convention of the Young Men’s Christian Association, when the concussion was so heavy that the audience, supposing that théwalls were giving way, panic struck, | made a rush for the doors, but President McBurney and others in a prompt and determined way reassured the people and persuaded most of them to return to their seats, The President started the hymn, ‘Jesus, lover of my soul,” which was sung, and at its conclusion the panic was over. This prompt action of the leaders doubtless prevented serious accidents, THE MISSISSIPPI TROUBLES, | THE ORGANIZATION OF THE COLORED MILITIA— AN OLD ELECTION GAME TO BE REPEATED.

Governor Ames is organizing the militia in this Con- gressional district, and the officers of one of the colored companies were the leadergin the Clinton trouble and propose going there, which is calculated to provoke an- other conflict. The movement is construed as in accord- ance with Pierrepont’s instructions to organize forces largely republican, which means. colored, for the pur- pose of provoking a conflict to warrant federal interfer- ence to carry the State clection.

Delano, resigning the office of Secretary of the Interior, with the President's letter of acceptance, It may be stated that on the 22d inst, (the date ot the President's letter) Mr. Delano, in company with a friend, called on Pres- ident Grant, at Elizabeth, N. J., to urge the President's acceptance of his resignation. It 1s probable from pres- ent indications that the appointment of a successor will be made from Pennsylvania and that his name will bean- nounced to-morrow, TUR LETTRE OF RESIGNATION. Wasumartoy, July 5, 1875. Mr. Presipent—i have the houor to transmit with this note my resignation of the office of Secretary of the Interior. You have been aware tor some time of my earnest desire to retire from public life, and you have understood the reasons connected with m; rivate business and domestic afflictions whic ave produced and intensified this desire. Last fall, in November, | requested you to accept my resig- nation. You asked me not to insist upon it, and ex- pressed a desire that I should remain in your Cabinet until the end of your administration, or as long as I found it agreeable to do so. At your request and solici- tation I declined then to insist upon your acceptance of my resignation, assuring you, howevor, that | must re- sign during the early part of the ‘ensuing spring. When that jod arrived, and during the months of April and May, you advised me again not to resign, which advice agreed with my own judgment, Tho reasons for this conclusion need not be stated here. Since you were called by your fellow citi- zens to perform the duties of Chief Magis- tr: you have invited me, without the solicitation of myself or friends, 80 far as I know and believe, to take charge of two important and responsi- ble public trusts, the Internal Revenue Bureau and the Interior Department. I was Commissioner of Internal Revenue from March, 1869, to November, 1870, a period of one year and eight months, The results of my ad- ministration you know, and they are not, Paes trond tirely unknown to my fellow-citizons. The difficulties of this position, and the diligence, cure and labor required of mo in discharging its duties, you also understand, and of these I trust the public has some correct appreciation. I as- sumed the duties of the Interior Department in November, 1870, and have discharged them to the best of my ability for a period of four years and eight months, They have been laborious, difficult and deli- caic, They have embraced the supervision of the Gen- eral Land Office, the Indian Bureau, the Pension and Patent offices, the Bureau of Education and a mass of miscelianeous business unknown to any except those connected with the public service. The business of the Land Office is very extensive, and involves the adjudication and settlement of legal ques- tions growing out of railroad grants, Hberally and pro- fusely made a few years since, and Mexican dnd Spanish grants made before we acquired California and New Mexico, and also those growing out of our mineral laws and large mining interests, to say nothing of those that arose under our homestead and pre-emption systems. These cause the head of the department a vast amount of judicial labor and responsibility which Is not gener- ally understood. e Indian Buresu, as you know, is full of intricate, dolicate and vexatious questions, growing out of numer- ous Indian treaties aud the impertectly defined rela- tions existing between the government and the Indian races. Tho execution of this service is already greatly embarrassed by the remoteness of the localities where much of it has to be performed, thus preventing con- tact and personal supervision over the persons em- ployed as well as by the want of salaries large enough {© command talent, character and capacity equal to the duties and responsibilities of the positions. Many of the important duties of the head of the department are connected with the material and pecuniary interests of individuals, These interests are often large in amount. The Secretary, in deciding, must necessarily reject the claim of one of the _ parties, and, thereby, not unfrequently finds him- self assailed by the misrepresentations and falsehoods of the defeated claimants. I feel confident that a thorough and impartial examination in the mt condition of the public service connected with each and all of the bureaus attached to the Interior Depart- ment will show to all candid and fair-minded men that it has never been in a more prosperous or better condition than it is now; and I feel sure that the most scrutinizing examination will sustain the opinion here expressed, and that it will also lead to the conviction that great improvements have been made, under your policy, in the service connected with the Indian’ Bu- reau. I allude to these matters briefly to remind you of the exhausting labor which fidelity to my duties during the last six years and four months has de- manded of me, and & show you in part that one of my age requires rest and recuperation. ‘During all these years of toil { haye had your sup- port, your sympathy, and, as I believe, your entire conf dence. Had it been otherwise I should have long sinco retired, As I have sia, our political favors havi come unsolicit and, have been highly ap- ir You have always lightened my burdens by cheerful, prompt and cordial co-operation. When our official relations are severed I shall always continue to cherish for you the highest oy founded, as it is, upon my unqualified confidence in Your unselfish patriotism, in the accuracy and solidity “of your judg- ment and in the high sense of justice which has always characterized you, and from which, in my opinion, nothing can tempt you intentionally to deviate. I have the honor to be, with great sincerity, your friend and obedient servant, Cc. DELANO. The following is the President's reply :— REPLY OF THR PRESIDENT, Love Braxcu, N. J., Sept. 22, 1875. Dear Sin—Your letter of the 5th of July tendering Your resignation of the office of Secretary of the In- terior was duly received and has been held by me until this time without action because of the continued per- secution which I believed, and believe, was bein; unjustly heaped on you through the public press, only now take action because the time 1s rapidly ap- proaching when the Secretary of the Interior will have to commence his Jabors preparatory to rendering his annual'report to accompany the Executive Message to Congress. I therefore accept your resignation, to take effect on the Ist'day of October, leaving a little more than two months from the induction of your successor until the assembling of Con; In accepting your resignation I am not unmindful of the fact that about the time of the meeting of Con- gress, one yond ago, you stated to me that you felt the necessity of retiring from the Cabinet, and asked me whether I would prefer your resignation 80 as to have your successor confirmed by the Senate during the last session or whether I would prefer it in vacation, M: answer was that I would prefer not having itat all ‘That was my feeling at the time, and 1 now believe that you have filled every public trust confided to you with ability apd integrity. I sincerely trust that the future will place you right in the estimation of the public and that you will continue to enjoy its contidence as you have done through so many years of public and official life, With continued respect and friendship I subseribe myself, very truly, your obedient gine NT.

On Thursday evening Miss Antoinette Sterling will make her rentrée at Steinway Hall. & Rapid transit engrosses so much attention just now that even Cotton & Reed’s Minstrels include it in their amnsing programme for this evening. The “Mighty Dollar” is welcomed everywhere, and has proved so solid an attraction at the Park Theatre that it will be offered again every night this week.

Tho Metropolitan Theatre will introduce this evening to the public seventeen ladies, claiming to be the most Deautiful to be found on any stage, in a “revolving mirror of sculpture.” Mme. Rentz’s Female Minstrels will also appear, “Our Boys,” which has been so emphatic a success at the Fifth Avenue Theatre, may be witnessed to- night and every evening this week.

Mr. Daly visited Mr. Booth at his residence near Cos Cob yesterday, and the result of tho visit, as published | in the sequel, must prove of great interest to all of Mr, Booth’s personal friends and admirers, “I found Mr. Booth,” said Mr. Daly, “sitting upon the portico of his residence reading a book. He ap- peared to be in exteedingly good spirits, though his physical condition was not quite what I hoped to find it, His step was Orm and easy, but his left arm seemed to be utterly devoid of muscular nerve, power and energy. He could not, without assistance,’ raise his loft arm to his side, I bave had several artists engaged in painting the scenery for ‘Hamlet’ and ‘Richelieu,’ the first of which was to be presented at my Fifth Avo- nue Theatre on October 4. The scenery for these two tragedies is already completed, and scenic artists up to this hour have been engaged upon the mechanical contrivances of plays which were to immediately Pincwase gon : I found etuaine in such dition, owever, that I am compelled to postpone his - ment from October 4 to Uctober 18, just two weeks T hope that when the 18th arri Mr. Booth will have regained sufficient physical strength, assurance and nerve to enable him to perform his several “T had great tations of Mr. Booth, He has been absent from the ork stage for a Tong time; the pubhe are hungry for him, T had intended to sup- port him with the choicest artists of my com- pany, and give him such scenic effects as had never before had, even in his own theatre. But I am searcely able to tell you now whether even after the lapse of two weeks Mr. Booth will be re- covered to the extent necessary for him to ap- pear upon the stage, as he, myself and the public would rejoice «to | see) htm. ~=—You i know how dreadfully his left ribs were shattered. Well, in the character ot mee know he is compelled to cough violently, and his injuries are so great, that every time he affects this cough it gives him great pain in his left side, It would not do, you understand, for Mr. Booth to appear on the stage fora night or two in such a feeble condition that he would be forced to abandon the boards before he had fulfilled the entire engagement, Such a course would be alike disastrous to him and to myself, I, therefore, put off Mr, Booth’s e1 ent for two weeks. If he plays at all at my theatre it wili not be before October 18,” KILLED BY HER BROTHER. | CORONER'S INQUEST IN THE LATEST BROOKLYN TRAGEDY.
