LiyiuXstOne.s Obituary.
From the San Francisco News Letter

lTAoiu tie Gan news LtIttT
1t is with deep and universal regret that
we announce the death of our esteemed
fellowcitizen, DR.. Livingstone. This mel
anchOly event has come upon the country
like thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Had
the doctor borne a charmed life his death
could not have provoked greater astonish-
anent and vexation. Up to yesterday noon,
the village physician at Ijiji was perfectly
confident that he would recover, although
the pestilential climate OF SOudan had con
siderably worried him. and had proved fatal
to his faithful and attached hippopotamus.
At about one o'clock. however. he began to
fail rapidly, and by tive there Was nothing
left OF him at ljUi, though he was still pre-
valent in several regions to the southwark
and the vicinity OF Gebel-el-Cunri was per
vaded with him in considerable quantity.
But by seven advices came from DahOmey
that he was dead in that section. by eight
he had persisted all along the Upper Nile.
by nine had faded and gone from Bedelel-
Jared, and before daylight this morning the
returns were all in, and DR. Livingstone
the great African explorer. was no more
forever! The obsequies will take place at
BOOriOboOla Cha as soon as all the remains
can be concentrated at that point In its
deep attlictiOn science has oar heartiest
sympathy, and We cheerfulIy condole with
every body

Protests from Republicans.

We copy this special from the st. Louis
Republicans:
WASHINGTON, d. G., December l7.-Let-
tiers have been received here during the
last day or two by leading Republican
Senators advising strongly against the
course which they have taken during the
past week on the proposed investigation
INTO the charges of corruption against the
administration. These letters state that
the people are unable to understand the
technicalities arising Between a standing
and special committee, except SO far as
they serve to show that the action of the
Senate has restricted investigation, and, in
view OF 1t, they urge that the fullest i'll
quiry he authorized Tor every department
of the public service. The country will
look upon any other course as an evasion
of the charges made against the admins
IratiOn.
A Republican Senator advised the Presi-
dent yesterday to take a prompt stand
upon this question. and to send a special
message to Congress asking that an investl-
CATION be ordered. 1t is not probable,
however, that he will take such "a course.
sut leave the Senate to settle the isshe in
ITS own way. This is the universal opinion
which the standing committee agreed On in
the caucus Oh Friday, and an effort will
probably be made in the Senate to morrow,
when the question OF lnstructing the
committee comes up. to change its COM
pleXiun.

LAST OF THE COMMUNE.
The shooting Of Another Insurgcnt

The Shooting Of Another Insurgent.
A correspondent of the London Daily
Echo says, under date of November 3d.
CASTOR Cremieux was shot this morning
at Marseilles. The following details have
reached me by telegraph: The condemned
communist, who was confined in the prison
two o'clock. He appeared calm and col
lected, and replied, firmly, IL will show you
how one ought to die" lie then put his
papers in order. dressed himself, and got
into the wagon that was to conduct him to
Fort St. Nicholas. Arrived there. Cremieux
asked for few minutes to finish piece OF
poetry; having done this, he charged NJ
Vidal, the Jewish rabbi, to beg NJ. Esquiros
to complete a drama he had begun. At
seven O'Clock cart drove up. and he was
taken in it to the platform Of the PharO.
The sentence was then read, and Cremieux
appeared to listen to every word After
spending couple of minutes with his re-
ligiOus consider. he approached the fatal
post. He bore kind of ring in his hand
with which he intended to attach himself to
the post in the event of his courage failing
him. but he did not make use Of il. He
prayed the soldiers to aim at his heart, and
not his face, AS his family desired his body.
He then took Off his hat, coat and waist
coat, undid his cravat. opened his shirt and
standing firm and erect, with no bandaae
over his eyes, cried out: Now, fire! Iire
Ia RcpMb''-. He fell dead before he
could finish the word. About three thou
sand soldiers were present. The public
numbered about five hundred. The body
was afterward taken by the family of the
deceased to the Jewish cemetery The exc
cution passed Off quietly.
