IT'S, gratefully,
HORACE GREELEY.
David Livingstone. NJ. ID.

After q long interval of painful sus-
pense, the welcome news has at last
reached us of the safety of this re-
nowned and dauntless African travel
er. In face of every unfavolGble ac-
count regarding DR.. Livingstone's Is
safety, his warm friend, Sir Roderick
Murchison-w who, alas, has not been
spared to hear the glad news-kept
alive the hopes of his ultimate return.
| 1t will be recOllect that DR.. Living
stone, about four years ago set out
anew on his African travels, this time
with the view of determining precise
ly the source of the Nile, upon which
the explorations of Burton, Speke and
Grant, and Baker had thrown some
light, but not satisfactorily solved.
Two years ago the last letter from
Livingstone brought the information
that Lake Tanganyika and the Albert
Nyanza of Baker were one and the
same sheet of water, and this discOv-
cry places the source of the Nile i'll
the smaller lakes south of Tanganyika,
five degrees further south than Baker,
the latest explorer. before Livingstone,
supposed it to be.
Not content with this achievement,
the daring traveller next appears to
have set himself, while he was at the
business, to determine another Afli-
can mystery, the source of the Congo,
he having dropped hint in his last
letter to this effect. What he may
accomplish in this direction is, of
course, unknown as yet, but the thor
oughness with which he has been ac-
customed to carry out whatever pro-
iects he may have undertaken leads
to the expectation that he has been
successful, and that we will shortly
be treated to u further. fascinating
narrative of his .iourneyings and ad-
ventures among regions and tribes
hitherto unknown.
OF Livingstone's birth and parent
age the particulars are sufficiently
well known, and may be.recapitulated
by stating that he was the son OF plOus
parents, in poor circumstances, and
was born at Blantyre, on the Clyde,
near Glasgow. He worked in his
early life in factory there, and hav-
ing afterward studied medicine and
divinity, he went in 1910, as a mis-
sionary to South Africa, where he
Joined the Rev. Mr.. Moffat, whose
daughter, Mary, he married. After
several years. work as a medical mis-
sionary, he commenced that series OF
travels which have now made him SO
famous.
1t is pleasant to consider that an
American expedition, fitted out at the
expense of Mr.. Bennett, of the New
York Herald, and led by the Ameri-
can traveller Stanley, has been instrn-
mental in thus assuring Livingstene's
safety. This generous liberality does
credit to Americans, and especially
to Mr.. Bennett, and will not be with
out its effect in strengthening the
bonds of mutual sympathy that unite
the two great divisions of the Anglo
Saxon race.

VIII. That the public faith must at
all hazards be maintained, and the
national credit preserved.
TX. That the patriotic devotedness
and inestimable services of our fellow
citizens who, as soldiers or sailors,
upheld the flag and maintained the
unity of the Republic shall ever be
| gratefully remembered and honorably
requieted.
These propositions, so ably and
forcibly presented in the platform of
your Convention, have already fixed
the attention and commanded the as
sent of a large majority of our coun-
trymen, who joyfully adopt them. as
do, as the bases of a true, beniticent
national reconstruction-of new de-
parture from jealousies, strifes, and
hates, which have no longer adequate
motive or even plausible pretext, into
an atmosphere of peace, fraternity,
and mutual goodwill. In vain do the
drill-sergeants of decaying organiza-
tions flourish menacingly their trun-
chions, and angrily insist that the files
shall be closed and Strengthened; in
vain do the whippers-in of parties
once vital, because rooted in the vital
needs of the hour, protest against
straying and boiling, denounce men
nowise their interiors as traitors and
renegades, and threaten them with
infamy and ruin. l am confident
that the American people have al
ready made your cause their own,
fully resolved that their brave hearts
and strong arms shall bear it ON to
triumph. In this faith, and with the
distinct understanding that, if elected,
[ shall be the President, not of IL
party, but of the whole people, | ac-
cept your nomination, in the conf
dent trust that the masses of our
countrymen North and South are
eager to clasp hands across the bloody
chasm which has too long divided
them, forgetting that they have been
enemies in the joyful consciousness
that they are and must henceforth
remain brethern.
Yours, gratefully,
HORACE GREELEY.
TO the Hon. Carl Schurz, President;
Hon. Geo. w. Julian, Vice. Presi-
dent; and Messrs. VIM. Z. Mclean,
John G. Davidson, j. H. Rhodes,
Secretaries of the National Conven-
tion of the Liberal Republicans of
the United States.

affection, and calculated on the SAM
feeling in return. When, in their ex
treme peril, they failed to find it
they conceived mortal resentment
and all through the want of q mutua
understanding. If the American
could have taught us ten years agt
what kind of feelings they though
should exist, and did exist between
England and the United States, there
would never have been any Alabama
question. A privateer might vel
have escaped from our ports, but the
accident would never have been i'm.
puted to enmity, nor made the ground
of an international charge.
When the project of secession was
first mooted at least half the people OF
this country heldit to be unjustifable,
according to the theory of the federal
constitution but the contrary belief
was held by many Americans of the
North, and Americans of all classes
had so long and .unreservedly advo-
Gated the abstract right of popular in
surrection that we began to think
six millions of United States citizens
might be credited with knowing their
own mind and discerning their own
interests as well as any other people.
Then came all the heroic campaigns
of the war, in which each side natu-
rally had its friendsand sympatlizers;
and then the end, after which we
found ourselves blamed fer half the
consequences of the rebellion. But
how is it no American ever candidly
estimated or measured the feelings
which would naturally be created in
this country by the manner i'll which
for years before the war the people of
the United States had apparently
treated us I
How is it, we again ask, that with
SO constant and general an inter
change of visits, Americans and Eng
lishmen should have gained so little
knowledge of each others views 7
The peryading assumption of all
American minds is complimentary to
us. They start with the idea that we,
as kindred people, owe them special
fayor, and we are perfectly willing to
stand on that footing. But then, in
common fairness, we should look also
for similar consideration. We are
quite ready to give and take, provided
there is giving and taking on both
sides. We deplore anything like a
difference between the two countries
but, the Americans should be pre-
pared in turn to deprecate any such
misapprehension with equal feryor.
We do not pretend to apportion the
blame of the case, but it really ap-
pears as if we were better understood
in the United States after six months
of decided resistance, than we ever
were in days when almost anything
was done for the sake of peace and
goodwill.

The Homer Had. Jasper Black.


The Homer Iliad, Jasper Black
burns journal, has the following:
It would seem that Governor War
moth is thoroughly committed to the
Liberal Republican movement, and
viii support Greeley. This may be
best for all of us; but in Governor
WarmOti's case, certainly no faF OF
reasonable man can blame him. AS
to Greeley, he certainly has as good a
Republican record as Grant and as
to Warmoth he certainly has as good
a Republican record as many in this
State, and at Washington city, who
have persistently sought to rule him
out of what is by them termed regu-
lar Republican party of Louisiana.
Our prediction is that Warmoth will
win in-whatever the national result
may be. We certainly want a Re-
publican elected to the Presidency,
without any entangling alliances with
the 'Possum Democracy; but if we
can not have this without the sacri-
fee of personal honor, and without
sanctioning glaling personal and poll
tical injustice to a man like Governor
Warmoth, who helped so manfully
and efficiently to build up the Repub-
lican party in the South. and espe-
cially in Louisiana, and who has done
so much and endured so much sacri-
flee to lift the black man from his
former degradation-why, we must
say, rather than submit to and en-
dorse such conduct and such pro-
gramme as this, we, as a Republican,
in whom there is no guile," would
be willing to take old Harace Greeley
on trust, with even his present ALI
ances, for we know the old man, per-
sonally and intimately; and if he is
not, in a personal and individual
sense, honest and good Republican,
we certainly have no such character
in all the land. But we shall see
what we shall see, when the waters
are little more troubled.

side, protuberances in front resembling horns
about four inches in length, and that breathed
