All doubts concerning the bona Hdes OF Mr.
Stanley's narratives Of ibis adventures In Africa
win now be laid at rest by the arrival OF Dr.
LivIngstone's letters. We shall, apparently have
to wait little for the publication OF the geo.
graphical dispatches as the report OF an intended
meeting OF the Geographical Society on Monday for
the purpose OF hearing them read is unfounded
But 1t is satisfactory to feel that even the very
faint suspicious cast ON the authenticity OF Mr..
Stanley's story are dissipated, and that we may
absolutely rely upon the information which that
gallant and triumphant traveller has brought
home. AS we were prompt, on the first pub
hcation OF his discoveries, to declare he ought
to receive some public recognition Of the
services he has rendered this country In success

In another column We publish the first letter rom
Or. Livingstone which has been received In
England. BY the energy Of the proprietor of the
NEW YORK HERALD the great English traveller has
been found and succored at moment when he
seemed to be upon his "last legs" In his own
words, when Stanley arrived at Uji he thought che
was dying upon his feet" After marching and
counter-marchlng in South and Central Africa, dc.
serted by his followers, and cheated by those who
should have assisted him, he was well-nigh ready
to give way to despair. The arrival OF help has.
however, given him fresh heart and determination
to continue his work, and we may expect that In
the course OF very few more months
the question which has engaged the attention OF
geographers and travellers from the time OF
Herodotus will be satisfactorily solved, and that
the true source and course Of the Nile will be de-
clared. AT present there appears but little doubt
that Dr.. Livingstone is on the right track, follow.

sowing problem over which the PharaOhs puzzled
and which the Ptolcmies attempted in vain. Mr..
Stanley has pierced the veil and brought news OF
the intrepid explorer The summary OF this news,
brought by the telegraph some time since, has
reused the public interest and curiosity to the
highest pitch and the narrative published by
contemporary yesterday, which gives the sub.
stance OF some oral communications made by Mr.,
Stanley to Its correspondent, sufilces to whet
the appetite which 1t does not satisfy.

At length voice from the equatorial centres
Of Africa has reached u.s. and there is no mis- taking
that the accents are those OF Livingstone. This
time it Is no Zanzibar despatch, in which the
writer occupies the first position, the London Geo.
graphical Society the next and the great traveller
the third The enterprising and courageous young
journalist, In whose achievement we believed when
it was the opinion OF the Burlington House Society
that Livingstone had come to his assistance and
not he to Livingstone's, mas at ength brought
news so authentic that there can be sceptc. The
letter from the great explorer, printed in the
papers to-day, will be welcomed not only by his
own countrymen, but BY all who desire the
advancement OF science or whose admira.
ton Is secured by the spectacle OF courage
successfully exerted against overwhelming dflcul-
ties. Science and manhood have, indeed, been
both nOby INDICATED by the result of LivngstOnes
explorations The great secret Of ages-the mys-
FERROUS source and origin of the Nile River-las

bravery exhibited during the perilous search for

but only to prove geographical mirage, have been
so great as almost to elevate our race In the estl-

welcomed as he deserves. The generous courtesy
Of Mr.. Gordon Bennett, too-a courtesy oddly

The Tichborne Case...A Parallel in Georgia.

There is a remarkable resemblance in all
their singular features, between the Ilchoorne
case in England, that has been exciting SO
much interest on both sides Of the Atlantic
for sereral months past, and one which oc-
Cured in this State some twenty-five or thirty
wears ago. We think Jones County was the
theatre.
A wealthy man named Bunkley had, among
other children, a son named Jesse, who was OF
a wild and. restless disposition, and, when
boy, suddenly disappeared. Years passed on
and no intelligence was received from the wan
derer. In the course of time Bunkley, senior,
sickened and died, having, in disposing OF his
property by will, made provision tor the absent
son in the event he should re-appear, though
everybody believed him dead. The estate was
administered and the property divided among
the legatees, or, at least, those who were known
to be in life. :,
MANY wears afterwards-we do not recollcct
how long-a man appeared who represented
himself to be Jesse Bunkley, who, after long
residence in Texas, hearing of the death Of his
father came forward to claim his inheritance.
In appearance he was about the man Jesse
Bunklcy (boy) should have made. Many who
knew Jesse Bunkley testified that they recogni-
zed him as the man, and even Mrs. Bunkley,
who was still living, at one time thought she
recognized in him her long lost son: Hs is, was "a!
thoroughly familiar with almost every little IN
cident in the life of young Bunklcy-h his hab-
its, his schoolmates, the various localities
which he was in the habit of frequentlng, and
even with the residents of the neighborhood, in
the days when Bunkley was boy: 10 all this
we may add the remarkable fact that scars ana
marks on his person corresponded exactly with
those known to be on the person of Bunkley;
The remainder of the heirs, however, refused
to recognize his claim, and he accordingly
brought suit in Jones Superior Court for his
full share of the estate. The case was a long
and severely Iitigated one, engaging on either
side some of the best legal talent of the State,
and some of the Developments were most re-
markable, so much SO that public opinion was
staggered and greatly divided on the subject OF
the ee claimants identity with Jesse Bunk!ey
The cause, though, eventually went against
him. and was soon followed by criminal pros
ecution, which resulted in verdict OF guilty
and sentenced to the penitcntiary, where he
served out full term. What became OF him
afterwards we never heard. ..,
How exactly does this history tally with that
of the Tichborne claimant, who, after long
struggle in the civil court, now finds himself
] prisoner in Newgatc.

Coop SIGNS FOR THE SoUTH.-The South
ern papers are filled with advertisements OF land
fertilizers, and ehe merchants appear to be
competing greatly for the sale of them: The
demand, it seems, is something quite cxtraor,
dinary in the South, and is an encouraging sign
for the beginning of the planting season: 1t is
evidence that if the lands are worn their OWL
dition. Proprietors of small cotton mills in
the North are beginning to discover that there
is some truth in the idea of concentrating their
resources, and there are indications that during
the present spring large number of that class
of manufacturers are preparing to carry their
machinery into factories in the old cotton dis
tricts. They will save freight on the raw ma
terial, they will get fresher and cheaper labor
and they will find unrivallcd natural agencies:
With improved and reinvigorated fields, and
with home market for cotton and labor, the
Sonth can get along very well, without much

Radical Misrule the Cause of Disturbances
at the South,

The Detroit Free Press draws a striking
parallel of the rnisgovernment of the South,
while in the hands of the Radical party:
"While Missouri was in the hands of the
Radicals it was the theatre of outrage and
murder. State militia traversed the country
and robbed and plundered the people in the
name of union and peace. Men were impris-
| oned without cause, and houses were desoated
by the hand of the spoiler. The immense re-
sources of the State we're dormant and the en-
ergies of the people were parayzed. Now the
State is in the hands of the Democrats and
Liberal Republicans. The people are peaceful
and law-abidng. No military marauders out
rage their homes or deprive them of their lib
erty. The freedom of the press is-again guar
anteed, and mob violence is as rarely resorted
to as in any of the other States O. the Union
tnat are filled with new and mixed popula-
ton. The wealth of the State is being rapidly
developed, the energies of the people are unre-
strained through fear of the oppressive exer-
else of power, and prosperity is crowning every
branch of industry. The parallel has its ap-
plication.
"Virginia was soon wrested from the hands
of the carpet bag thieves who sought to outrage
and plunder its people. Peace and prosperity
was at once restored within its borders, and
progress in the work of recuperation has been
uunobstructed ever SINCE There have been no
Ku Klux outrages within the State. The peo-
pie have devoted themselves to building up the
interests broken down by tie war and promot-
ing the general prosperity of the Common
wealth In this State, also, the parallel finds
an application. Compare Missouri and Vir-
einia with the States of South Carolina, Loui-
siana, Texas, Arkansas and Florida, where car
pet-bag rascality has been kept in the ascendcn-
ccy and the people have been outraged by State
as well as national authority. Turn to Tennessee
when the people were Prosecuted by the Brown
low rule, and we find another striking contrast.
The restoration of the Democrats and Conser-
vatives to power brought peace and prosperity
to the people-ouJrages ceased because the gov
ernment became just. They will cease i'll all
the Southern States when the governments in
these States are the creations of the popular
will, not despotc powers placed over them by
the arbitrary use of Government bayonets.
The great evil which has afflicted most of the
States in the South has been the one of mis-
coyernment-and that has been forced upon
the people by power outside of the State. 1t
has been the creation of nsurpation and wrong.
Its influences have been on the side of evil,
ken catalogue of crime When the people OF
all the Southern States shall become relieved
of the unnatural aud arbitrary governments to
which they have been subjected, we shall hear
no more of crimes in those States. The people
will be as quiet and law-abiding as they are
now in Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia
and Alabama, where carpet-bag rule is at an
end"

ity took place in Boston the other day: An
eierantly ely anti dressed woman was detected in the
very act of plagiarizing pair of silk stock

tears, suddenly conscious of her guilt, and then
in the most agonizing manner besought the
proprietor 1r to release her and offered him $40

The MORMON GIRLs.-H. ". Red6eld, Of
the Cincinnati Commercial, writes as follows
from Salt Lake City:
You can not Judge of the Mormon girls by
what you see upon the streets, for they are not
of the sort that go often shopping, but you
must attend some ball or social gathering. Af-
ter that you will acknowledge that nearly all
the Mormon girls are good-looking, and some
of them very pretty. The young ladies that
saw last night will compare we'll with the same;
number picked up at random anywhere: They
are not what you call delicate, and for their
own good it is we'll that they are not. On the
contrary, stoutness is the rule, and too much
delicacy the exception. Their faces are fair
but without surface indications of chalk; their
cheeks are painted, but it is with the rose-tint
of nature their hands plump and pretty, but
not exquisitely white and small, like the city
belle "who tolls not, neither does she spin,"'
for the Mormon girls toll and spin both, and
help their several mothers do the washing and
cooking. They never tight lace, and conse-
ouently their waists are not of the delicate and
wasp-like proportions of so many of our Eas-
tern girls, who lace themselves into early
graves, but they are full and rotund just as ma
ture, who generally knows what she is about
creates them. And not least important OF ALL
they have the freshest fairest, clearest, most
healthy compilations ever saw to the same
number. There is nothing of that muddy,
yellow, bilious, unhealthy hue that you see so
much of in Eastern cities and towns, indicating
that half-doZen diseases are feeding upon. the
vitals. A clear, fresh skin is not an invariabie
indication of health, but it is so near so, that
an occasional exception only proves the rule.
