Letter From DR.. Livingstone.

When the New York Herald, few weeks
since stated that its correspondent, Stanley,
had found Dr. Livingstone, SOME doubt was
expressed about the statement, as the reports
of Mr. Stanley We're vague and unsatisfactory
1t now appears, however that Mr.. Stanley has
really "come up with the traveller, and that
Livingstone has written the following letter to
the Herald, which is furnished to the press of
the country by that journal:
UJlJI. ON THE TANGANYIKA.
EAST OF AFRICA. November 1871.
Mr. james Gorden Bennett T.:

sentative 10 this distant region takes away the
strangeness should otherwise have felt, and in
writing to thank you for the extreme kindness
that prompted youto send him; feel quite at

which he found me you will easily perceive

pressions OF gratitude.

The Norfolk Journal says THE object of
the Liberal Republicans, the Democrats and
the Conservatives Of the country, is to concen-
trate the whole strength of all the opponents OF
Radicalism upon one candidate against Gen.
Grant IF that object shall fail-if it shall
prove impracticable to bring out in favor of
Mr. Greeley the full vote Of the friends of the
constitutional cause.-The movement will have
been in vain; the patriotic effort will have
proved fuitless; Grant will be elected again
Radicalism will be fastened upon the country !;
the perverson of the government will soon be
complete; and our liberties may be lost. Moth
ing can save this country but change of Ad-
ministration. Nothing can give US change of
Administration but the defeat of Grant. Moth
ing can accomplish the defeat OF Grant but the
election of Greeley"

FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1872.

THE PUBLIC OFFICES. Mr. Hendricks, OF
Indiana in his recent speech, in defining the
meaning of the reform plank of the Clncnnatl
platform, said 1t means that honesty,
capacity and fidelity constitute the only valid
Claim TO public employment; it means that
men are not to be appointed to office merely
because they are relatives, or subservient tools
of party leaders; it meaus that men are not
TO be appointed, whose only claim is that they
have been the corrupt agents Of a party; it
means that the public Offices belong to the PEG,
pie, and that their duties are to be discharged
by faithful men, and only for the public good.
| believe it means all that, and this, too, that
men who hold appointments to discharge ad
miniStrative duties, who are faithful and eff
Gent, and do not prostitute their positions tc
the service of party, ought not to be removed
merely because of their political opinions. y
And in summing up the whole matter he de-
clared that the true idea underlying our gov
ernment is that the Offices were made for the
people and not for party

Mr.. James LYONS, Of Richmond, in reply to

Mr.. James Lyons, Of Richmond, in reply to
an invitation to address a Radical meeting to be
held shortly In Fredericksburg, writes letter,
''decliuiug the honor stating that he IS not
without hope that the proposed Louisville Con-
veution will make straight out Democratic
nomination" and that in that event he will
vote for the anticipated Democratic nominee.
If no nomination is made, however, he will
vote for Gen. Graut-a man, he says, whom
the South may call great, for he conquered
me- that is, the South. He Is very bitter
against Mr. Greeley-denounces him in the
scverest terms-quotes highly Objectionable
sentences taken from the New York Tribune
(probably not written by Mr. Greeley, but
still, we repeat, highly Objectionable. He also
quotes from English papers, articles to show
what Mcy think of Grant and Greeley The
letter shows that Mr.. Lyons is highly excited,
and is DESTROYS to defeat Mr.. Greeley, by using
every effort to accomplish that object.

from his trip to North Carolina, and Richmond,
and is making loud boasts as to the Radical

that North Carolina will elect Judge Merrimon,
