GEN. JOE HOOKER takes the war path
with the scalp of B. F. B. as an objective
point. He is ready to show that when Gen.
Butler ordered the colored soldiers in the
James river campaign to deposit their valua-
bles at headquarters for sate-keeping, he did
it to make grab-of the money OF such of
them as were killed or died. Gen. Hooker
also claims that Gen. Butler made a million
dollars by this means out of the negro regi-
ments on the James. We are not liable to
be accused of admiring Gen. Butler, but it
will take pretty direct testimony to convince
us that Gen. Butler is guilty of the crime laid
to his charge by Gen. Hooker, though there
can be no doubt but that he fully believes it.

Livingstone and his Wrongs.

Doubtless mystery will always hang over
the last years of DR.. Livingstone in Africa.
There is something sadly picturesque in the
idea of this lone traveller exiled for years in the
wilds of an unknown continent, uLattendeJ
save by the savage natives, grown gray in his
wanderings and reduced to 'ruckle OF bones"
by his tolls and sufferings among the jungles
and deserts of the torrid zone, still persisting
with Scottish pertinacity in his search for geo.
graphical knowledge. For years he was lost to
the knowledge of the world; again and again
it was reported that he had died, victim to
the fierce climate or the hercer men of the A f.
rlcan wllds, and when at last he was found bv
yenturous newspaper correspondents, people
shook their heads and doubted the story. And
now it seems that Livingstone not only had to
contend with the hardships of his weary travel
in undiscovered lands, with the swamps and
streams and mountains, the deadly miasmas,
the lurking beasts and blood thirsty savages,
but even in that tar exile he did not escape the
selfShness and envy of his own countrymen.
A letter of his, written to his brother in Canada
in December, 1872 has just been published in
the Portland PRESS, in which he complains of
the treatment which he received at the bands
of DR.. John Kirk, the British Consul at Zanzi-
bar. In this he speaks of being plundered and
robbed and hindered in his schemes by Bantam
slaves, because DIR. Kirk id not send proper
men and supplies to his relief. He was dis
couraged aud baff1ed in his sore perplexity,
when he might easily have been encouraged
and aided; and he more than intimates that it
was the Jealousy of Kirk and his desire to mix
himself up with discoveries and share in the
credit of the old wanderers exploits which
prompted this conduct Added to the selfish
ness and inhumanity of the Consul was a base
ingratitude, for Livingstone claims to have OBJ
tanned for him his official position and its per-
quistes, and to have lost his own salary
through his representations, as well as the cred
it of some of his important researches.
1t is a sad picture of this weary aud broken
old traveller alone in that wilderness cherish
ing bitter thoughts against his country and its
nearest representative, and at last dying with
his work unfinished and his notes and records
at the mercy of mischance and accident And
yet Dr. Kirk accompanied his emaciated body
to England and was conspicuous as one of the
pall-bearers at that gloomy funeral in West
minister Abbey, passing for bis friend and CO.
worker. 1t may be that DR.. Kirk can give
different explanation of his conduct for we
have evidence that Livingstone had become
somewhat peevish and suspicious, and, perhaps,
little clouded in his intellect, by his hard ex-
perience; but the case looks bad for the Con-
SUI 1t seems surely as though he might have
done much more than he did for the traveller if
he had been disposed Globe.
