EIeHTH OF JANUARY, 1S72.-Postscript to
a letter written long ago in Manyema, the coun-
try of the cannibals:
In the enclosure you will find fall account
of my affairs. / am now anxious
on another matter-the plan which | am about
to advance of removing one Of the English
settlements of the west coast, by voluntary emf
grafton of the Christians, TO a healthy spot on
this side of the continent. When l say English
settlement, don't mean a settlement of Eng
iiSh people, but one of those establishments in
the west which have fulfilled their end. The
settlements referred TO have fully accomplished
the ends Of their establishment in the total sup
preston Of the slave trade wherever their inhu-
ence extended. Col. Ord's valuable report fully
confirms this, and he said that this was proved
by the suppression being as complete where
they were, though unvisited by men-of-war, as
in parts TO which these ships habitually resorted
Now, the slave trade is as rife on the east
coast as ever it was on the west, aud we
have none of the moral influences which Chris
tian establishments carry along with them

settlements to MOmbas, which is ours already

the MOslem inhabitants is dormant and ulti-
mately trOwn down the mean dupcitv which
now enables our Bantam British subjects to
carry on by their money all the slave trade that
is carried on. The only additional expense to
what is now incurred would be the passages Of
the officials in men-of-war. The successful mis-
sions in the west is uuquestonable, aud the ces-
satiOn of the slave trade all around the settle
ments is worth all the expense which has been
by government al d missionary societies. Let
us have these instruments here. Wherever En-
glish missionaries are established, traders are
welcomed and protected. \ n We need native

Inc Oreeieytes are trying to figure out for
themselves such meagre consolation as the cleo
lions in Vermont and Maine can be made to
yield; it is a grain of comfort in busbel of
encouragement II they can do as well in 9TH
er states, they say, the election Of Greeley is as.
sured. If they really believed this, they would
be much happier than they are. Their hopes
are proiessedly based upon the result of an alb.
struse arithmetical computation, from which.it
appears that the republican majority in 1868
was greater than that Of this year by about four
and half per cent, and that if similar per.
eeniage OF reduction is made in several other
states, Mr.. Greeley is likely to be elected. an
the great central states all politicians know
that our gains are sure to be far greater" saws
the Tribune, "but count them at only the
same precise percentage. The Pennsylvania
election in October, 1868, was carried for the
Grant state ticket by 9677 majority. A change
of Eve thousand votes would have defeated
Hartranft, &C., &C., &C." All this manipulation
OF figures is just rs easy as SANDER, in which
also the Tribune is proficient Not to speak of
me inconsistency Of it with the admissions of
tue tribune itself and its friends and correspon-
uenis lew days ago, when a smaller republican
majority was confidently anticipated, and any
excess over fifteen thousand, it was conceded
"Vulu W Almost fatal blow to Greeley's pros
poets, there is still another way of lool,i,. -
thls election, at least equally fair win a.,
which the Tribune adopts, but which lcoa r'', -
very different conclusionslas to the prosnec, i,
other states.
Some towns, counties and districts in Ma;no
have been in former years pretty equally divided
between the two parties, and some gave demo
cratic majority in 1868, as they have at almos
every election for many years. There are sucl
towns aud districts In Pennsylvania too, and il
New York. Now 1t is a somewhat remarkable
and significant fact that those doubtful place
and democratic sirongholds have been carrie,
this year by the republicans, both in Vernon
aud in Maine, Last year, and in 1868 also, sew

A CORNER IN WIVES "Corners" are not
confined to Wall street, New York, or to State
street, Boston. Neither are they made wholly
by dealers in stocks and bonds The ZuIus Of
South Africa do not need a missionary to teach
them TO be shrewd. Though a strong and TO-
bust people, they have a decided weakness for
womankind. They have as many wives as they
have means to purchase; and, unlike many in
civilized countries, they buy not with gold, or
houses, or estates, but with cows. Twenty,
thirty, fifty, or a hundred cows are given for a
wife, according rs the girl is young and beauti-
ful or otherwise. One bold Zulu operator with
capital once bought up all the young and desir-
able girls in the market OF the whole region and
compelled all who wanted to buy to pay him
most exyrbitant prices for wives. OF course
there was much distress, and this disastrous
state Of things attracted the attention of their
government, and the recurrence Of il was pre-
vented by law which fixes the legal price OF
a wife TO be only ten cows. No man can collect
more than this by law. He may receive fifty if
he will, but he can force no one to pay more
than ten. The Zulu law stands as friend to
fairness and equity, and the bulls and bears
alike are obliged TO respect 1t, for their laws are
strictly carried out Cases Of litigation growing
out Of poygamy arc more numerous than from
any other source.

They have IN Italian politics two specters,
which are called the "Red Specter" and "Black
specier" The first represents the cred radi-
Gals" and the other the 'clericals." In the
Italian elections, which took place on the fourth
OF August the Liberals" or Nationals" en-
countered both these specters and found them
very weak. They were badly beaten every
where, and seemed to be supported by no
substantial force in the minds OF the people,

A STATEsMAN's TROUSERS For some days

who is as regular, usually, in his attendance as a
sentinel. AT twenty minutes past four o'clock

The reporters credit Hon. F. W. Bird with
saying, in the 'liberaP state convention, "there
is nothing in the history of man SO marvellous
as the strength of this movement" meaning
the 'liberal" movement. We quote the version
given in the New York World We are not told
how Mr.. Bird defines the word Strength" but
his definition must be peculiar. He can not
mean strength at the ballot box, for he had "iT
the history of man" accounts of allithel recent
elections. Certainly, this movement made 8
very poor show of strength in Vermont
where "liberals" were marvelously scarce; and
in Maine where the republican candidate for
governor has a larger majority than Maine gave
for Lincoln over Mcclellan, in 1864. Besides,
the signs indicate that its show Of strength will
be quite as poor in all the coming elections.
Some other sort of strength must have been
meant 1t has abounded in strong and rather
rank professions. Il has used very strong
words But We will not attempt TO explain the
matter The word Strength may have been
used in some mystical sense.

The New York Nation says: eve have never
known of Massachusetts governor with whom
less fault has been found than with Governor
Washburn, and the liberal republican talk has
in no case been idler than when it has discoursed
Of his defeat as among the possibilities" All
concerned know very well, and they have known
all along, that his defeat has never been among
the possibilities. 1t is said now that Charles
Francis Adams, who does not support Greeley,
distinctly refused to have his name used against
Governor Washbum, when the ''liberals" asked
him to be their candidate. Mr.. Summers re-
spect for Governor Washburn is so positive and
his personal relations with him so kindly, that
we do not suppose his name could have been
used against the governor with his consent.

no previous election have the democrats failed
TO elect their county ticket in some one Of the
counties; this year every county, without sin
Gle exception, elected republican officers. Knox
county has given democratic majority regular
" for ten years; at this election there was
a republican majority Of more than
three hundred. Now which Is more rea-
sonable, to compare an evenly balanced state
like Pennsylvania with one like Maine, which 3,
as a whole, is strongly and surely republican,
or to compare it with the parts of the latter
which are pretty evenly divided, or inclining to
the democratic party2 If we find that, where the
republican party IN Maine is strong it holds its
majority, although not quite up 10 the very high
est point it ever reached, and where it is compar-
atively weak it has received considerable acces-
sions, is it not certain or as highly probable as
conclusions drawn from such comparisons ever
can be, that the same causes will produce like
effects in doubtful or usually democratic dis
triets of Pennsylvania and other states?

a reporter at Washington takes too much
upon himself in telegraphing to Boston paper
that the following extract is positively known
TO reflect the sentiments of the administration !"
"The time for action on the part of the gov
ernment has about arrived, and those Indians
who have been invited to accept the olive branch
of peace, and have refused, will be taught that
the strong arm Of the government will reach the
very last scoundrel of them all who may have
been implicated in the late outrages. The pa
tience of the president is well high exhausted
and the late outrages have beeu so severely
commented on by the press throughout the
country that our citizens are prepared for the
most stringent enforcement Of law and order,
even at the lannon's mouth. A little East In
da justice would be useful at this time, and
whether the murderous wTetcheS are blown
| from the mouth of cannon or slaughtered in the
| field is of little consequence to the world at
large. Certainly the interests of civilization
would not suffer if the entire savage tribes were
| exterminated."
1t may very well be true that some modifca-
ton of the Indian policy hitherto pursued is
| now thought necessary; but it is quite certain
that neither the president nor his advisers talk
or think in the passionate, reckless way which
| diSgraces the newspaper from which the above
| quotation is taken. They like the rest Of their
eounuymen, are not disposed to admire or copy
the atrocities blandly referred to as East India
justice" and are both too humane and too wise
to contemplate the deliberate determination Of
the savage tribes. Even the people Of the from
tier states and territories, exasperated as they
are by the ineursions Of their treacherous and
cruel foes, would not uphold such policy,
| although they may demand it while the memory
of recent outrage and suffering is stin fresh.
