THE GOOD NEWS FROM LIVINGSTONE.
All doubt to the safety OF Dr. Livingstone is set
at by the letters received at London from stan
ley, the New YORK HERALDs correspondent. STAN
ley, after journey OF much hardship found Living
stone at UJj on the east side Of Lake Tanganyika.
Dr. Livingstones account Of his movements Is that,
In March, 1865, he started to explore the Row.
ma River (which falls into the Indian ocean,,
reached and crossed the Chambezi River mot the
ZambesD, and became convinced that It Is the true
source OF the Nile. He followed this stream, which
is called also the Lualaba, for 700 miles, Supplies
falling, he was compelled to return to Ujlji where
Stanley found him In October, 1871. The two ex-
plorers spent nearly month together going east
ward 10 Unyamyembe. Livingstone, who Is hale and
hearty, is determined to remain and solve, II pos
sible, the Nile problem. There are nearly two hun
dred miles of the Chambezi or Lualaba to be ex-
pored before its source is reached. This work. 1t is
estimated, will occupy two years
This is Stanley's story, and 1t Is circumstantial
get more details, and 1t is to be hoped. something
direct from DR.. Livingstone himself The HERALD's
achievement is a great honor to American Journal
one American newspaper has accomplished out Of
Its own resources. on the entry OF Ujiii our flag
was carried at the head OF the exploring party
The English daies are quite enthusiastic over this
American achievement. and the stock expressions
about zone blood'' and zone kindred" are gone
over again with great heartness.
From the Brooklyn Times, July 12.l
We are convinced at last that Livingstone, the
great African explorer, still lives and the world Is
indebted to Stanley, the indomitable, of the NEW
YORK HERALD, for a knowledge Of the gratifying
fact Yesterday advices were received in London
from Alden, British coaling station in the Red Sea,
that Stanley in company with Dr. Lvingstone's
son, had reached that place on his way to England,
bearing dispatches to the British government from
the distinguished traveller For the incredulity with
which the accounts Of Stanley's movements In
search OF DR.. Livingstone have been in some
quarters received the NEW YORK HERALD is
itself responsible, from the absurdities with which
those accounts were so abundantly interarded.
Had the HERALD been content to report what STAN
ley was doing, with due regard to cruisen'blance,
1t would not have excited suspicion, at least not to
any great eXtent but when, for sensational pur-
poses, 1t dressed up Its reports In the most out
rageously absurd garb, 1t was natural that people
should conclude that the whole thing was, II not
absolutely fictitious, gross exaggeration OF facts
However, let all that pass. The HERALD has gained
a great triumph, and deserves the congratulations
1t Will now receive.

WILFUL MURDER.

A Man Deliberately Shoots n Lnd While
Bathing-A Coroncr's Jury Return A

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July IS, 1872.
Last evening while party Of boys we're bathing
in the river, below the foot Of Beale street, pri-
vate watchman named Sturgeon, employed to take
charge of some nat boats near at hand, came out
on the roof Of his dwelling, armed with musket,
and followed by his wife, who was armed with
revolver. After threatening the boys for bathing
there Sturgeon took deliberate aim at one OF them
named John Murphy, who was In the water, and
fred three slugs striking him the head, killing
him instantly.

into skin and made his escape His wife was ar

France-The Republic or the Nom
archy.

VxO0e
archy.
The debate which took place in the French
Assembly on Friday last is likely long to be re-
membered. In itself the debate was unim-
portant But for the remark Of President
Thiers-''You entrusted us with the repub-
ic"-the debate with Nj. Gasconde and his
''door," window and furniture" tai
might have quietly passed into oblivion. The
President, however, struck the wrong chord.
The ''No!" 'No 1" from the Right was dread
fully emphatic and it must have reminded the
President of some pledges which be seems not
unwilling to forget. 1t is notorious that two
thirds of the Assembly are monarchists. It is
undeniable that they gave their confidence to
M. Theirs at the outset, because they believed
he would use all his influence to restore the
monarchy. Since the advent of Theirs to
power there have arisen difficulties which have
disturbed the calculations both of tho Presi-
dent and of the Assembly. For these difficult
ties neither has been responsible, and hence
there has been much mutual forbearance. The
Assembly could not blame the President; the
President could not blame the Assembly.
Now, however, President Theirs has spoken
out, and he has spoken out so plainly that it
lis no longer to be doubted that he goes in
fairly and squarely for the republic. 'You
entrusted us with the republic!" The Right,
the powerful majority, say ''No." The Left,
the weak minority, cheer to the echo. With
the Right at his back President Theirs has
found it comparatively easy task to govern
France. 1t seems now as if the long-threatened
crisis had been reached. For the time Presi-
dent Theirs is without his majority in the
House. He has promised on an early day to
but it may not If satisfactory all may be
well. IF not satisfactory the dreaded crisis
has been reached President Theirs may
resign, but his resignation will not make an
end of the difficulty. A general election may
be found to be necessity; but no man can
election may lead The sword may be again
unsheathed, and France may have to seek sal
walton through another baptism of blood.
President Theirs has consented to modify his
tax bill in face of the Parliamentary opposi-
tion. The debate on the measure was
renewed in the Assembly yesterday. The por-
ton of the act increasing the tax on licenses
was adopted, and the clauses decreeing an in
creases of the tax on doors, windows and furni-
ture rejected This action is somewhat comp1i-
mentary to NJ. Theirs, but it will derange his
treasury calculations fearfully, and 60 to prove
that the French Parliament would not drain
the bitter cup to the dregs, as he recon-
mended.
