of the cargo, where from and whittier bound,
and the name of the vessel and captain, this
conversation being carried on in the cabin.
,On getting on deck, the officer ordered the
matches taken OFF, which was refused, and
the officer was informed that it could only be
done under protest, at which the otilcer got
in his boat and returned to his ship. The
officer remained 80 minutes on board the
Margaret. The captain says the officer be-

A LATE REPORT DENIED-CARD FROM
RELATIVE.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Jan. 10, 1874.
To the Eltor of the Chicago TritEIe:
SIR: As a reader of your paper, notice
in the issue of the nth inst. an article IRE
printed from apaper in Germany upon
Louis Kossuth. Happening to be nephew
of his, and in possession of late and authen-
tic information as to his condition and sur
roundings, deem it due to the cause of
truth, and to the continued reputation of
the Tribune as a reliable newspaper, to
brand that whole story of Kossuth's life
and circumstances as baseless fabrication
from beginning to end, with hardly one
truthful sentence in it. One of two.
things is very certain: either DIR. Max.
Schlesinger did not see KOssuth at all:
or. if he did, he did not, could not inspire
or authorize such a publication Kossuth
does not advertise for or give lessons in Ian.
guages, for the two best reasons in the.
world: there is no need he should, and he
does not feel Inclined. He is, / am happy to
say, very far remOvedfrom indigence, 'hav-
ing enough Of his own to live upon snugly,
but comfortably and pleasantly, not to men
ton his two sons, who, instead of being
dead, are in good health, and with him.
both grown to manhood.-and who, in their
capacity of civil engineers, earn largely more
than sufficient for their individual support,
and are but too glad to share what they
have with their beloved and respected father.
His hair is entirely white, that
Is true; but his health is ex-
cellent-indeed, remarkable for one
in his I'D year, and he still bears the out
ward marks of hale, hearty man. He is
by no means forgotten by his cOuntrymens
on the contrary, though not in accord with
the late accommodation between Hungary
and Austria, he is continually receiving the
most gratifying and tender tokens of their
affection for and unshaken confidence in
him. He is not lonely and deserted. So far
from it. he has all the company he cares for,
and even more-for he has latterly drifted
into the habit, not uncommon among the
studious, of secluding himself from the gen.
eral caller. The whole tenor OF the conver-
sation attributed to Kossuth is a pal
pable fraud to whoever is at all conver-
SAINT with his circumstances, or has any
real appreciation of his character. Old
in years he is but still fresh and unbroken
in body and spirit. Grateful deeply CRATE
full, for the sympathy shown him, especially
in this country, for his endeavOrs in his
country's behalf, and whatever ofindividual
misfortune to himself has resulted there
from, he has ever been too proud to court
pity or commiseration. Were the facts of
his situation as detailed in that article he
would be the last to complain of or parade it.
And, did he know of the publication, he
would feel severely panied that it should re-
ceive even passing credence.

of Zan nzibar.
The desth of DIR. Livingstone took place in
June last. He had been travelling over a
partially submerged country, and after
wading four days through the water was
seized by illness, of which he died.
At meeting of the Royal Geographical
Society last night, several members ex-
pressed doubts as to the authenticity of the
report of DIR. Livingstone's death. Mr.. Kirk
said, when he left Zanzibar in September
rumors of a similar character were current
He thought the news, If true, would have
been officially forwarded long before the
present date.

While the Empress and Grand Duchess
were residing in Naples they were visited by
the Duke OF Edinburg. who accompanied

that the relations subsistihg between

formalities were wanting to the completion
OF the engagement. As already stated, the
betrothal was sanctioned on Friday at

Gerrft smith Upon the Third Term
and Imitation.

Gerrit Smith is out in a characteristic letter
IN the Uticd Herald in which he declares for a
Third Term if necessary to defeat the domo-
cracy. He thinks even the immortal Washing
ton would not have declined a third term II
there had been prospect in his time of the
sscendency of "such a devillsh democracy" as
the PRESENT. Gerrit proceeds 70 say:
"MoTeover would the people in that case have
consented to his declining it? The question
whether in 1875 General Grant shall be the
candidate may, in the situation of our country
at that time, rise heaven high above all personal
considerations. It may involve the life or death
OF the country. 1t is in this light that denv
the moral right of any one to say that he will not
ycte tor General Grant in 1919. 1t is in this
Eght that deny the Generals moral right to
say that he will not consent to be a Candidate
in 1876. We are all to keep step with PrOyi-
qence, and none are to go ahead OF it. Let the
ClstSnt lcI6 take care OF ITSELF"
Further, q. s. expresses the belief that
neither New York, nor Pennsylvania, nor anv
Eastern States VIII lie guilty of the folly and
fraud OF voting az OLio aud Indiana have IN
happily done, to increase the irredeemabls
paper currency and TO cheat the nations credi-
tors.
