PlKxcu FnaISo ON THE PEussAS ISDEsi-
surr PAYMESTs. The plan Of Prussian eyacu-
alton Of the hosiaged territory OF France, as
arranged by treaty between the French and
German governments, was submitted 10 the
Versailles Legislature yesterday. II was not
by any means satisfactory 10 the re-
publican Parliament The French think
that they perceive that Prussia retains
the right Of full army occupation
until her war bond is completely discharged in
cash. The Minister Of Finance did not pro-
pose his project Of new loan for the payment
of the indemnity. France may rest assured, as
M. Theirs well knows from history, that 1t is
exceedingly difficult to remove the iron heel

The American Flag Hoisted In the
Wilds OF Africa.

Wilds OF Africa.
The HERALD special telegram from London,
which we print to-day, not only places the
safety Of DR.. Livingstone beyond all manner
of doubt, but announces also the grand fact
of the hosting of the American flag in the
wilds of Africa by the commander of our
search expedition commissioned to find him.
The reader will perceive from the despatch
the very great danger which Mr.. Stanley
and his followers encountered in conse-
quence of the hostile demonstration
which was made by the natives against
Unyanyembe. He will see, at the same time,
the energy which was displayed in its
defence by other natives, acting under the
inspiration of American energy, and made
suddenly confident for the assertion of right
by the example of the stranger. This very
act constitutes in itself an initial for the real
positive commencement of the work Of civiliza-
ton in Africa. This initial was taken under
American flag was displayed by our explorer,
in face of the advancing enemy, over the heads
of the people whose lives were threatened.
Miranda, the attacking party, retired. In
stinct warned him of his danger; prompted
him, perhaps, to admiration of the deed, thus
eliciting, it may be, the very one and only
spark of humanity implanted in his heart by
the Creator, but of the glow and warmth of
which he had hitherto remained ignorant.
Such is the emblem of the modern Christian
crusade under the lead Of the great newspaper
press. 1t is the accomplishment, as we'll as
the foreshadowing of the work of peaceful
civilization in the future. Contrast it with
the progress of the Crusaders in the Holy
Land. Humanity must admire its superiority
in the mode of progress. Place our special
record Of to-day from Africa side by side with
the history of the British advance in Asia
under Warren Hastings. Stanley, with his
simple flag, starred with the symbols of liberty
and union and hope. Hastings, with his blood
red banner of conquest, division Of caste, and
general despair. The voice of mankind will
proclaim the difference, and the world accept
new era, giving pledges for the baptism Of
vet unconveyted peoples.

MURDER AND SUICIDE.

MEMPHIS, July 1, 1879.
AT the residence Of planter named wray, near
Brownsville Tenn, this morning dispute arose
between Benjamin II. Wray and his brothcr-in-law,
named John A. Wilson, about q horse trade which
occurred two years ago. Wray shot Wilson through
the heart killing him instantly. He then ran into
the yard, followed by Wilson'S wife, who begged
him not to shoot her husband again, not knowing
he was dead. Her screams, 1t is supposed, caused
him to place the pistol to his breast and fire 1t,
causing a fatal wound. The parties are all respect
able, and the AFFAIR causes great excitement.

1t has been often asserted 1--WE make the
statement without fear of contradictory that
''every dog has his day." and the poets have
been frequently obliged to call upon the
canine animal for material to work up some
thrilling or affecting period.
For example, there is the plaintive ditty:-
Poor dog Tray, ever faithful,
Grief cannot drive him away;
He Ia gentle, he Is kind,
I'VE forget the other linel.
Poor dog Tray, &C., &C.
This was the favorite ballad sung at all the
quilting and apple-paring parties in New Eng

The lofty Byron even did not disdain to
whistle for Bruno in producing some of his
most pleasant lines-to witt

The Foreign Artists Quitting the Bos-

ton Fanoandrum Tor New York.
Not one of the least unpleasant features
about the Pandemonium on Boston Back Bay
was the impression of America likely to be
produced on the minds of the distinguished
European artists there-an impression any
thing but favorable The bands, for instance,
were induced to come here thinking that they
were to participate in a genuine musical jubi-
lee in representative American city They
found out their mistake in very short time,
and were they now to return to their homes
they would remain in as complete ignorance of
America and its grandeur as if they had never
crossed the ocean. The little, vain, ftlssy vii
lage where they have been forced to dwell for
the past fortnight will afford them little knowl-
edge Of the greatness Of our institutions.
Therefore it will be gratifying to learn that
Strauss and Leutner, and probably one of the
three great representative bands, will appear
in week or so at the Academy of Music and
give few promenade concerts, with the lady's
marvellous voice as novel feature. Then the
Prussian Grenadier Band will play on Sat-
urday next at Jones' Wood, and the
Garde Republcaine Band, after their visit
to Chicago, will undoubtedly make short stay
in the metropolis to give an appreciative and
intelligent public specimen of their unrivalled
powers which have been too long wasted upon
the bucolic visitors to the Boston barn and the
impecunious crowds on the fence outside.
Madame Arabella Goddard, whose fame as
pianist is world wide, will forget in New York
and its cultured society the treatment she re-
ceived at Back Bay and the nondescript in
strument called the Jubilee Piano. All
these artists will then return to Europe with a
more favorable idea of the great republic
than they gained at the unwieldy Yankee
show. BY all means let them come to the
metropolis.

Livingstone ON the Source and Course
OF the Nile.

Livingstone the Source and Course
OF the Nile.
The HERALD special telegraph letter which
narrates the event of the meeting between Mr..
Stanley, the commander of our search expedi-
ton in Africa, and DR.. Livingstone, conveys
at the same moment the very first personal ex-
preston Of the great explorer respecting the
source Of the River Nile that long-disputed
subject, which has been at times considered as
q permanent blur in the path of science. Liv-
ingstone was beaming all over with smiles;
refreshed by the genius of q new enlighten-
ment. He told Stanley how he had crossed
the river Chambezi, and found it to be
wholly separate from the Zambezi of
the Portuguese maps. Going further, he
discovered that 1t was called Lualaba, and
after travelling distance of seven hundred
miles, still onward, became assured that
Chambezi is doubtless the source of the
Nile" He found that the Nile River is two
thousand six hundred miles in length, and
that it is not supplied by the affluent of
Lake Tanganyika. From his point of positive
observation, after exploring the surrounding
territory, Livingstone was compelled to return
to Ujiji. What wonderful news he commune

Mr.. Prince, chairman Of the COM

JACKSON, February 9.-In the sen-
ate to-day there was no business of
importance transacted.
In the house the contested election
case Of Mcintosh, Of Lauderdsle
county, came up for discussion. Rep
resentstiye Lowry spoke in favor of
the eoutestee. French, the carpet
bagger. and several negroes, made
haTsngues In favor Of the contestant.
No evidence of any moment was pre-
sented-nOt sufficient TO sustain a sin
ole allegation in the charges. The
Testimony was Of the fiimsiest con-
ceivable character. The testimony of
Judge Leachman excited d lively in
interest, as showing the puerile and
frivolous nature of the whole case.
The most important point made was
the establishing of the fact that sew

him on the day OF election. This was

NEW YORK, February 9.-The Lon
don Times, of the 25th, has long edi-
torial on the Catscszy trouble, and
sums up the case as follows: The
whole story is perfectly Ineligible as
Ii stands. NJ. CatacsZy got himself
into trouble by his presumption in in
terfering with the negotiations be-
tween America and England, but
his zeal, though unfortunate, was
so far acceptable 10 the Rus
sian government that he was
upheld by his employers TO the very
last. Confident in this support, he az
frOnted and provoked beyond endur-
snce the government to which he was
accredited, and to the last moment
claimed that he was exempt from
any censure at their hands This was
200 much for Mr.. Fish, and he told
the truth without disguise, proceed
ing in which be was perfectly iusti-
fed. Had it not been for the publica-
ton Of Mr.. Fishs. memorable
dispatch of November 18th, and the
correspondence transmitted to the
senate, Catacazy's pretensions would
have imposed upon the world and
the American government would
have been left to put up in silence
with the adrOnts it had received.
That was not an agreeable prospect
for the President and his ministers,
and so they turaed the tables on the
offender, but in pursuance Of their
own reasonable and just decisions,
and not, as we can assure our Russian
friends, through any suggestions OF
England.

NEBRASKA.

OMAHA, Februry Ex-Governor
James, who has been acting governor
since the Impeachment of Butler, left
this State yesterday evening, going
East on business. J. J. Hascall, pres
ident Of the senate, left this place also
yesterday evening for the capital, and
this morning we have proclamation
from him, as acting governor, cOven-
ing the State legislature. The call is
made, among other things, for the pur-
pose Of taking action as to when any
Office shall be vacant and the manner
of filling the same; the investigation
OF the official conduct OF any officer,
and, if deemed necessary, their i'm
parchment. 1t is claimed that this is
a sharp practice with the intention Of
impeaching the absent governor, who
lately prorOgued the legislature, in
which case Hascall would become act
ing governor of the State. The legis-
lature is called for February 10th.
Governor James will probably be
back in two or three days.
