Doctor Livingstone's Letters to the New
York Herald Soliciting It's Aid for the
Suppression Of the Slave Trade ON the
East Coast OF Africa.

from the London Spectator, August 81
In DR.. Livingstone's first letter to Mr.. James
Gordon Bennett, his earliest utterance, after years
OF silence, to the outer world the illusrious trav
eller solicits the aid of the NEW YORK HERALD to-
ward the suppression OF the slave trade on the
East Coast OF Africa. He might have chosen, per-
haps, more appropriate ally In his crusade against
this horrible trac, but during his long exile he has
had time to forget If indeed 1t ever fell In his way
to know, what has been until lately the relation Of
Mr.. BENEFITS powerful journal to slavery the
slave trade and the slave power. That DR..
Livingstone Is in earnest that his denunciaton
OF the tranlc which disgraces Zanzibar Is no
mere conventional expression OF horror, may
be judged from the fact that he sets Its eradication
higher even than the accomplishment or the In
spring purpose which has led him back to the
perilous excitements OF African travel. "If my
disclosures" he writes to Mr.. Bennett, regarding
the terrible Ujijian slavery should lead to the sup
preston of the East Coast slave trade shall regard
that as greater matter BY far than the discovery
OF all the Nile sources together" In later and
longer letter ne explains what the traffc which
thus kindles his Indignation really means. 1t is
"a gross outrage OF the common law OF mankind ~
an ''open sore in the world" and the miseries
which 1t innicts upon its immediate victims are.

IL is chargeable. wherever slave-dealing exists 1t

into contact, physically as well as morally,
and It's pernici0us influence on the character OF
the trader Is but little less marked than Its

trafflc Livingstone traces the dete rioration from
the true negro type, which he Identifies with the
ancient Egyptian, with his large round black eyes,
full, luscious lips and somewhat depressed nose,o
OF the natives Of the West African coast. There,
and on the Zanzibar coast also the slave trade has

We nave received the following letter from DR..

the question OF the outflow of the Lualaba:-
SIR-In your impression Of this morning, when
commenting on Sir Henry Rawlinson's letter in the

agree with his remark that it is next to impossible
for the BahreGhazal to be the outcome Of the Lua-
laba, and that more probably the Albert Nyan 20

What YOU say is Quite true b Lvngstones ex
press words in his letter to the proprietor of the
NEW YORK HERALD, which appeared In your i'm
doubts, but stuck to it like Briton; aud at last
found the mighty river left its westing, and flowed
Now the point where the traveller thus left the
river placed by him in four degrees south latitude
and twenty-aye degrees east longitude: But II

In about two degrees north latitude and thirty de-
grees east longitude, in the Blue Mountains, which
bound the Albert Nyanza on the west, SO that IT
completely shuts up the basin Of the Bahr elGhaZal
or western arm Of the Nile and renders all commu ,
to, but physically impossible. NV '''''
The River Uelle OF DR.. Schwenfurth appears to
be Identical with large river in that direction said
to flow into the Shary, Of which his countryman,
DR.. Barth, heard many years ago; and, inasmuch as
on the meridian of twenty-five degrees east, where
it is already considerable river, three hundred
miles and more in length, its course Is not more
than about the same distance from Livingstones
''furthest," it inevitably follows that unless the
Lualaba takes decided turn either to the east or
to the west from Its course fright away to the
north" within those 300 miles 1t cannot avoid join
ing the Shary and through this river falling into
Lake Chad. 1t appears to me to be utterly impOs
sibe to gainsay this.
Still, believe, for my own part that my good
friend DR.. Livingstone is mistaken in his Idea That
the course OF the Lualaba continues northwards
for any considerable distance, but that on the
contrary, II Is detected to the northeast, and SO
flows into the Albert Nyanza and thus forms the
main stream of the Nile.-I am sir your obedient
servant, CHARLES BEKE.
