STANLEY'S LETTERS, [CONTINUED FROM NINTH PAGE.) complain of them, provided that such purchase was limited to the interior. LAND PIRATES. ‘The charge I make against the subjects of Prince Burghash is that in Marungu, Manyemsa and Bua they use their power to enslave people, to capture by fotce thousands of men, women and children for te purpose of selling them to their countrymen for the mere sake of making money out of the sate Of human dveings that were forcibly and un justly taken from their homes to feed their avarice. I charge them with being engaged in @ traMc specially obnoxious to bumanity— a@ traMe founded on violence, murder, rob- bery and fraud, 1 charge them with being engaged m a business which can be called by no other name thanland piracy, and which should justly be as punishable as piracy on the high seas. That while all the nations in the world abstain from being concerned in such a trade, and gen- erally condemn it, the subjects of Prince Burghash, equipping themselves at Zanzibar, Bagamoyo and other seaport towns, organize themselves into separate and several caravans, whose object mostly is to prosecute to the utmost of theirpower and vigor a system of land piracy, to attack in- offensive tribes and capture as many as they are able to for the purpose of selling them to their countrymen on the coast. NO SUSPENSION OF THE TRAFFIC. Prince Burghash, personally, I do not believe is tobe blamed, Itis his weakness, his inefficiency, his utter incapacity to prevent his subjects from violating all laws, human and divine, that should be snown up. We may credit him, personally, with doing all he can to prevent it, or at least with doing all he knows how to prevent the trade, But it 18 apparent to me and to anybody who may come to Africa that what has been done, or is doing, makes no more impression upon this appalling and desperate trade than what this letter will make. ZANZIBAR ITS CENTRE. Tonly write this letter because it 1s a part of my duty to give you such information as may come Within the range of my travels; assuredly with but a faint hope that it will have a feather’s weight toward checking the crying and dreadful evil. What I do trust is that, with your aid,I shall be able to cause many to reflect upon the fact that there exists one little State on this globe, which is about equal in extent to an English county, with the sole privilege of enriching itself by wholesale murder, land piracy and commerce in human beings, and that a traitic forbidden to all other na- Lions should be permitted to be furtively monopo- lized by the little island of Zanzibar and by such insignificant people aS the subjects of Prince Burghash. HOW TO SUPPRESS AFRICAN SLAVERY. The champions of the anti-slavery cause in Eng- land, seconded by the government, deserve great credit for having done their utmost to suppress the traffic in slaves on the high seas; but, to complete thelr work, it should be suggested to them that, 80 Tong a8 the trude is permitted in the interior, so certain is it that attempis will be made to continue itatsea. Ii I were to stop here I imagine very many would shrink from the appalling prospect such @ project as suppressing the trade in the in- terior would naturally create in the mind. Many would dream of expeditions against the Arabs, of ter- rible expenditures of moneys, loss of life and other calamitous things; Otuerg would think such a pro- Ject would call tor hosts of missionaries, perhaps annexation of Zanzibar, or, at least, harsh inter- ference with the government of an independent prince. 1am no advocate for fillbustering expedi- tions, because I think they éntail as much, if not greater, evil than that which they are supposed to suppress. The heavy expense which such expedi- tions incur is alsoa drawback, besides their fruit- Jessness. MISSIONARIES NO USE. Missionaries are algo out of ihe question, To ‘whom should they be sent’ ‘Yo scattered and stripped tribes iike those of Marungu and Man- yema? Even here they would be valuable, provided tach mission was supported by 200 Sniders. though, in Uganda, a missionary alone would be a »oon, in Manyema, Rwa and Marungu he would be Mmpracticable, Crue! or harsh interference by a nighty Power in the affairs of a weak State is an Injustice, but where the weak State is so fecbly yoverned that its subjects riot in licentiousness tnd murder, and revel in the luxuries of crime unpunished, whem @ people convert themseives mto bands of cutthroats amd land pirates, un- deterred by fear of God or their government, it is time, { think, for some more moral government to interfere; at Jeast.1t would be desirajic that such a government should imteriere for the credit of humanity. POLITICAL CHIVACRY. A long time.ago a semtimental necessity, or what was supposed to be one, suiliced to rouse all the Christian nations of Ex.rope, wrih all their magnifi- cent force and daring; but nowadays it has become almost an article of belief that to do anything for the sake of sentimemt smacks of the ridiculous, or, to use the new name for it, © ‘xotic, Well, I fear knightly chivalry is gone along with its burlesque. We hawe only the name ieft to remember it by.

It is some- | times called, into exercise even in modern times, though now it is of milder form, and generally dis | tinguished by the term “good offices.” [t is not the knightly chivalry nor the political chivairy, bot the “geod offices’ of Bngland, on behalf of the African reces and of Christians at large, that ‘would be highly desirable just cow at Zanzibar.

BEACH'S MILBAGE Why Money Unearned Shonld Not Leave the Treasury. EXTRAORDINARY MILES. Six Dollars a Day for Walking Four Hundred Yards. 4 ALBANY, Oct. 9, 1877. The nomination of Mr, Allen C, Beach for Secretary Of State by the democratic party is te be made tne oc- casion of @ vigorous attack on that gentleman by the republican press It will be charged that the over- throw of Mr, Bigelow and the substitution of Mr. Beach in bis place was the triumph of we Cana! Ring, abd marks the abandonment of the roform.measures of the present and preceding State administrations lor a returo to the old ring system of government. There ts really no substantial foundation for chis charge, as the Canal King meu, as they aro called, meaning contractors who uged in the old times vo defraud the State through the medium of unbalanced bids, false mousurements and the like, and State officers who used to receive a portion of their dishonest gains for aiding in the robberies, were in fact badly disappointed 1m the results of the Democratic Convention. Their object was to secure an Attornoy General who,.having been engaged as counsel for the defence In the canal! prose- cations, would have been compolied to intrust the further conduct of the suits on gho part of the State to outside partios, who would have been in the interest ol the rogues, They wanted a convenient State Engincer aud favored the renomination of Treasurer Ross. In all this they suffered defeat, not securing gic point Jor which Uney played, except in so far as the over- throw of the present objectionable State officers is concerned. This was only a barren triumph when their places were filled by men who will be just as vig- orous prosecutors ot rascality as wre the present officials, But votwithstanding all this, the republi- can papers will charge that tue democrats have de- cided against tho reiorms iuaugurated by Governor Til- den and carried on by Governor Robinson, and they will strive to support thoir assertion by a refer- @hce to the constructive mileage account, which ap- pears against Mr. Beach while he was Lieutenant Gov- ernor of the State. They will show that whencver meetings of the Comumassioners ai the Canal Fund or Land Office were heid during the sessions of the Legis- lature over which Mr. Beach presided as Licutenant Governor, that officer, who is ex oficio a member of those boards, charged and recerved {rom the Stave Constructive wnileage both ways, as if he vad travelled all the way trom Watertown wo Albauy to atiend such meetings, when, in fact, he had ouly walked over from the State Capitol to the State House, .a distance ot three or tour hunured yaras. Vor travelliisg this distance and jor attendance at the rate of $6 a day Mr. Beucn would euch iime demand from the State ab.put $128, although at the same time he was recetving his pay as Lioueuaat Governor and had already collected his mileage wm the iatier capacity.

Ex-Governor Hendricks readily entered into conver- gation with the representative of the Hxratp, although it was with somo ¢ifficulty that he could disengage himeelt (rom the attentions of his other interiocutors, The Governor pleasantly alluded to the various vu- resus of the Hxkanp which he had visited in Europe, suying:—'Yes, the HrwALD Is a grent imstitution over thei He said that his trip to Europe ip the Be: was an exceedingly pleasant one, but on this return passage the woather was extroinely rough aud disagreeable although he had not suffered from seasickness, and he was vory giad indeed to reach his native shore again, Ho had enjoyed bis tour through Europe exceedingly; nevertheless, ho was to be back again, A iellow passenger to whom the Governor expressod himself trecly said be had spoken of this aropean trip as baving been his first aud as also bemg his last, us ho now so fully realized the many advantages of his native country that he bad made up bis mind never to leave it again. 113 KUROPEAN TOUR. Governor Hondricks und bis more intimate fellow passengers wave a rapid outline of histrip, After a pleasant tour through Ireland, England und Scotland, during which he was accompanied tor the greater part of tue time by Governor Warmoth, he went to Paris, where, however, ho did oot enjoy as good health as auriog other portions of this European tour, He then went to Germany and took passago down the Rhine to Homburg and thence to Carlsbad. Stuttgart and Munich were also Visited, the artistic treasures of the Bavarian capital affording great delight to Mra Hendricks. It was the Governor’s intention to travel through Switzeriand, but having some law business in London his stay on the Continent was cut short, asd he went again by way of Paris to London, where be was detained on business a whole week. In Paris he mot Mr. Tideu, who looked in exccilent health, and said he would probably revura to this country on tho next Cunard steamer, Mr. Tile den appeared to be improved im hoaltn by nie trip, which he said he enjoyed very much. Mr, and Mrs Abram Hewitt were also met in Paris, and Mr, Howitt greatly regretted not belng able to rotura in the same steamer, Mrs, Hewitt was soffertng from un attack of typhoid fever, and bo would, tnerelore, probably be prevented trom attending the opening of Congress on the 16th of October. HAYES COMPBLLED 70 ADOPY THE DEMOCRATS’ PoLicy. Speuking avout Hayes’ Southern policy, Governor Hendricks said:—“Hayes’ policy? 1 don’s believe he has a policy, The democrats hada policy, which was to let the States govern theméolves instead ot having them ruled by bayonets, He seems to curry out that policy, and 1 believe the democratic party deserves creait for creating a state of public opivion which compelled Lim to protest against the bayonet policy and to abandon it, You know very well tnat he never protested against it during Grant’s administration.” “What do you think of the future of the two par- ties, Gevernor!'’ asked the reporter. . “The democratic party don’t consider themselves defeated by a good deal, and tue republicans don’t consider themaclves defeated, because they mean to stick to what they have got. Ithink the democratic party !8 tho stronger,, you | know, for bow can good men romain with the re- pubhcans, after the way im whieh they captured the Presidency?” Speaking then geuerally of the condition of the country he said:—“ notice with pleasure that the crops out West have been very large, and we scem to enter upon an era of prosperity. L always thought that the resumption of specie pays ments which Lalways considered a good thing, could not be brought about by an act of Congress, but by commercial conditions which would produce a flow of gold to this country.” The Governor listened with interest to tho recital of the leading political events that had taken place tn this country during his absence, and ex-Govornor Wtarmoth and his other political’ fellow passenyers also seetned much interested by tho result of the Aivwny Convention, the sudden, painfal illuess of Mr. Mor vissey, &c. aking of the Convention and Ketiy”8 victory ex-Governor Warmoth said, “That cooks Tilden’s goose.”” ARRIVAL AT THU DOCK, ‘Tne Bothnia did not reach the Cunard dock till five o'clock and there a delegation from the Young Men’s Demoer tic Club, composed of Willis 8, Paine, receiver of the Bond Street Savings Bank; William Van Wyck, Josopt H, Skidmore, 0.8, U, Keck and other frion bade him cordial welcome.
