' ?-? - 1 "' V i??|il?jr. t\ . , , Dr. David Livingstone, * celebrated Englieh traveler, baa been loet to view and U> the knowledge Of hie oountry inepYia the interior of Africa, for seve? ral yearsi past lie went onfc under the anxious of the Royal Geographical So? ciety,, and with tbe encouragement of the scientists of England, to proeeoote tbe search for the .sources of tbe Nile, that old ;and baffling' mystery. It wee JorJg a "doubtful question with his friends Ii) England whether he" wan still living. Sir Roderick:?' Murohisbn steadily,' and nn$ hi? owu death, maintained that he was,;?? ? His.; oploion,; however, seemed to bo based upon doubtful reports and vagae inferences. If alive, he was lost at any rate; and his patron sooiety, which attempted to sustain him, and keep tip communication with him, has been in a maze of pother and uncertainty oa to his whereabouts. The great problem with ihotn became to-disoover the discoverer. Bo stood affairs: when American enter-, prise endplaok, backed by a loog purso, in tho personol''James Gordon Bennett, of' the; Now York Herald, took delight in entering the .inviting field of explora? tion. It was fair gr^mo which Mr. Ben net^ was at liborjty.to hunt, and a dpe opportunity for young America to show old 'Europe now to do things. " Accord? ingly Mr. Bennett commissiouod ono of his reporters, Mr. Henry M. Stanley, to find ,Dr. Livingstone, and' Mr. Stanley etogd not upon the order of his going, But went inooutibently and found him. He was plucky, nud not without experi? ence in*.E?9 b;rn travel." Ho bad ? previ ousfv reported the oampaigns of the British, uiury iu AbysBinia, and was the first 60iannounao to Europe and America th?tfeath of tho Abyiriaion King Thoo . doma/i Starting from Zanzibar, on the Iudiap, Oocao; he mad? his Way into tbe hear* of central Africa, and reached Ujiji, on the Eistern shore of Lake Tanganyika, in latitude about. 3>J ?de ? grees .South, of the Equator. Sidney Smith, once oomplaiued. of a man for spooking disrespectfully of the Equator. We will try to avoid inonrring similar oensnre. Bui- this-1 we will say: The Equator had not treated Dr.1 Livingstone well. H^o was found in ite neighborhood iQ ^ 8Pr?y flight?being nothing else, to nso his own Scotch way of stating it, but 44 a Took of bones." He did not wait for a formal introduction to Mr. Stanley. He was glad to see him, as Stanley was glad to be through with that mach of his job. So they hob-nobbed together there at Ujiji very sociably. Stanley relieved bis wants, and oheered him with choice bits of news from the civilized world, such as tbe American oivil war, the abolition of slavery in the United States, the death of Abraham t.iimnln. the war of France and Prussia, etc. He.received from hirn, in turn, a narrative of his disooveries and trials, and the scheme of his proposed further journey of 700 miles to ?olve some points connected with the Ni-3 sources. The old gentleman was game, but a little daft, we think. He was unhealthily flippant and festive, especially upon the lovely forms and featnres of the Afrioan damsels of Unyanyambe. But he was far away from the kirk, and out of roach of the session. So he talked quite gaily and with impunity. Stanley returned to Zanzibar, and thence to Adon, on the Red Sea, where Mr. Bennett's thanks and congratulations reached him from New York. This was no small achievement, cer? tainly, as those will readily concede who have any tolerable knowledge of the in ' credible difficulties in tho nature of the country, and in the dispositions and habits of the natives, to satisfactory travel and research amongst them. The journey must bavo been toilsome aud disheartening in the extreme. At Adon, Stanley telegraphed the news home, and soon followed it up with letters to tho New York Herald, giving full particulars. The world was startled. Many doubted . whether the whole story was not a fic? tion, and some even questioned whether there was snob a person as Stanley. This incredulity was Bbared by tbe staid and learned members of tho Geographical Sooiety. One of them went bo far, and was so foolish and illogical, as to say that it was more likoly that Livingstone had found Stanley than that Stanley hod found Livingstone. This odvorse, unfriendly and skeptical criticism last? ed for a considerable time, bat Stan? ley .paspod through tho gauntlet un? scathed, and oamo out as socoessfully ^|ts ho did at Ujiji. In London, ho Cr^raoutlived and put down all the carp 1 lug'skepticism and doubting Thomases. The Queen of England and learned men . and' societies?we may say all over the world?have recognized his services to science and humanity, and distinguished him by their favors. The Boyal Goo graphioal Soaiety knocked ander at last, and gave^r^StanlMr^ dinner and ttoeir {medal. Bhwt dlodgtardj af 4 ir nbt?ret ?atiafied th/R it wfl an} ?n^ripairMnd not an En(^shman,fwho made tho diaro ? Stanley has .now. reaphed New York, and has had a warm weloome from bis friends. Tho Lotos Ol ob gave him a brilliant reception, its 300 members and a large nombe/of disHi/gaiahed guests crowding ths parlors to do him- honor. Spoeohoi wore tottdp, add St<*yiay drown oat in reply. He took occasion to pay the Hoyal Geographers a part of the debt he owes them:/ The frank and oordial irraveranoo. with whioh ho treated them, it is said, was to the last degreo amusing. He will soon (3d December) come before the public as a lecturer, his sebjeot being a narrative of his journey from Zanzibar to Ujiji. ' j /'. j We are gratified to recognize this bril? liant achievement of American journal? ism. Its conception by . Mr. Bennett and performance by Mr;' Stanley do them both lasting credit? end will be crowned with- richer fruits in the future. The Havana of Europe have felt the stimulus of this. inspiring example. Tw,o EogUuU expeditions, as we learn from the Herald, aro about to penetrato Africa?one from Mombas, on the East coast, to map out the series of lakes, or the Lacustrine Biver, now oalled Victo? ria Nyanka; the other from the West coast, to ascend the Biver Congo, and settle, the question of its source. Six Gorman expeditions aro also in progress, and will cover between them all tlje cen? tral region of Africa. Not among the ieaat benefits from Mr.. Stanley's journey is the grea't movement towards the sup? pression of the Eist African slave trade, whose horrors we have learnt to detost in the descriptions and portesta of Sir Samuel Baker, in which the Khedive of i Egypt, as we learn from our despatches.| of yosterday, promises no insignificant aid. Thus, as is well said in the Herald, "the long lost was found and oomforted, science enriched, and civilisation taught a way to make itself more worthy the name." The Olarlotopblo sind Knphraillan So? cieties. The anachronism of an article whioh appeared in the local columns of the Fikknix, of the 13th instant, was promptly detected by the keen eyos of oar friend of the Chester Reporter. It oeo?p?d oar own attention, having been contributed by a young friend, and in? serted without scrutiny on our part. Oar contributor was mistaken a little in his facts; bat for this, the goneral spirit of his article, which was good, inuBt sorve to atone. The suggestion of the Reporter, that the present material composing the two societies should bo consolidated into one under a new name, and that the old classic and honored names of Enphra dian and Olariosophio, should bo laid away reverently, is worthy of oonaidera tion. And yet rivalry, the great spar to the ambition of our yoang collegians in cultivating the excellencies of composi? tion and the grocee of oratory, would thereby bo lust. Better let them keep tho names and draw inspiration from tho associations and distinctions with whioh they are so intimately connected, There is virtue in them yet. Trial by Jury.?The Spaniards aro at present felicitating themselves that the system of trial by jury will go into ope? ration throughout the kingdom before the first of December next. A formal announcement to that offect was made in the lower house of tho Spanish Cortes on Tuesday. There is said to have been a large and constantly increasing orop of murders in Spain of late years, bnt it does not seem certain, in view of Arno rioan experience, whether tho jury sys? tem has been adopted for tho safety of tho murderers or of the community. Several casualties have occurred in Spain whereby unfortunate marderers havo been shot by minions of tho Govern? ment, and the conjecture Las been ha? zarded that tho jary system has been adoptod to prevent the recurrence of Huoh inhumanity. This hypothesis may or may not be allowable; bnt, if it is not, it is because tho Spaniards have drawn their oonoeptions of trial by jury from the records of English and early American jurisprudence, and havo never heard of the scores of murderers whom recent Amerioan juries have acquitted. SnoRT-PmnRD Canned Goods.?Tho Amerioan Grocer Bays; "Short weight" packing is being carried to extremes this year. If "retail grocers" will buy these goods knowingly, there will always be those who will sell them, bat there aro those who will work these off, if possi? ble, as straight goods. We have before us now a two-pound oan of Baltimore packed fresh pears, that really is not muoh larger than the standard one pound can, and pill easily set inside tho regular two-pound oan. It weighs, oan and all, but twenty onnoes. ?mmem* 1 ! ? m m.mm ST.'.TB LBQllt.A'ri '. 'Wedmxsdat. ?P? Saig Pre! Wf ) dow tor^otfj?aeate^^ppe?r^^ The report of -the .

Also, introduced a resolution, prohibit? ing Stato or County officers from aobing as employees of tho Senate, and deduot tbe pay of employees when absent from duty. At 1 o'clock, tho Senate attended iD the Houhc, and heard the official report of the gubernatorial election. Messrs.

Bascomb, Beaufort; Riohard Bryan, Charleston;! Robert Tarleton, Colleton. It was left to the Speaker to select an assistant Clerk. Mr. Bowley offered a resolution, that as the expenses of the last House were very heavy, owing to the employment of unnecessary attacbees, that hereafter the Speaker appoiatonly a specified number, etc; and that no special committee be allowed extra compensation. Laid over under the rulo. Mr. Qrecn offered a resolution, (und asked for its immediate consideration.) that the Sefgoant-at-Arms furnish locks 1 and key b for tbe desks of members. After discussion, it was decided that it was the duty of the Sergeant-at-Artns to perform tho work. A concurrent resolution, from the Se? nate, to abolish tbe sale of spirituous liquors in and about the State House, was adopted.

Tub Tax to be Levied and tiie Inte best on the Bonds.?Tho recent tax levy has been declared unconstitutional. It appears, from tho special telegram to tho Courier, published this morning, that tho administration to bo inaugurated proposes a tax for Stale purposes of twelve mills on the dollar, uxolusivo of the tax for County purposes, which is to bo three mills more. No provision is to be made for the payment of tho interest on auy portion of tho public debt until it has been ascertained by a commission of citizens, selected irrespective of poli? tics, what part of tho debt is legal or ille? gal. Such a commission to avail should bo selected from the tax-payers, and should bo above suspicion or reproach. It should be such a commission as will at once oommand the ooofidonce and assent of the whole State. The tax of twelve mills, for other than Stato purposes, ap? pears to us as unnecessarily largo. Ths duty of the hour is retrenchment, re? trenchment in the number of employees and in tho long sessions and pay of the members of the General Assembly. This is of the first importance. The affairs of the Stato should be brought as near as possible within tho same compass as before tho late war. Hundreds of thou? sands of dollars would thuB be out olf from useless and unnecessary annual ex? penses. This would afford the highest substantial guarantee of financial and honest reform.?Charletton Courier. Tbo widow of the man murdered by Foster, now held for trial in the Tombs, after having been twice sontenoed to be bung, has recovered from the street oar company on one of the cars of which the murder was committed, a verdict of $5,000 damages. The commission whioh has been inves? tigating tbe outrages on the Rio Grande border, has reported at length, and tbo amount of damage whioh it finds to have been done is rated at 330,000,000.

But. the weather was superb from first to last throughout"tho entire cotton area, and there were few days when it was neoeaea ry to suspend.pioking. ' A alight frost in Georgia d mouth ago did more good than harm, as It lielpod to >pen the bolls without injuring the staple. It waa not until the middle of November that there was any damaging frost, and even then it was not general in all the Southern States. Even as it was it arrived too late to do any harm. It may bo safely affirmed that there were absolutely little or no losses this year from inability to gather theorop. Every pound of cotton that could be picked waa picked, and there can be no doubt that the unusually favorable piokicg season went fur to? ward compensating for the Iobhcs occa? sioned by worms and weather daring tho lust few weeks or months of summer. There was plenty of time for the orop to mature, and plenty of time to pick it. Tho circumstances wero nUo favorub'o for ginniug, and the lato rains increased the navigable capacity of tho rivers, so that tho vast quantities piled along their banks could all be shippud. It also appears that planters, whether owing to political Causes or not it is acaroely worth while to inquire, also manifested unusual aotivity in pushing tho crops to a market. The news of the burning of a great many gin houses in South Carolina may also have contri? buted as much as the uuexceptiouably high price at this season to iuduoe plant? ers to ovoid the riflks of housing their crops. These aud other obvious canaea will account for the very many receipts at all the Southurn ports, amounting, on tho 15! h of November, to a total of 887,588 bales, being an increase of no less than 220,080 balos over the corres? ponding period last year, and 8S.9S0 more than in 1870. Thus it will be seen that an unusually largo proportion of the crop has already como forward, but exactly what proportion, of course, can? not be determined, as a knowledgo of the precise quantity remaining in plant? ers' hands is manifestly impossible, and ia only a subjeot of speculation. It may be safely conoluded, however, that the ustual receipts of this crop are much more satisfactory than was anticipated at the commencement of the picking sea? son, although falling considerably below tho expectations that were warranted until towards the close of the growing season. It is always u favorablu sigu when the Southern papers abstain from complaints about cotton, and it is re? markable that on this point we were wholly unable to discover any evidences of dissatisfaction during the entire picking season.?New York Bulletin. Tue Skckkt op a Man Bciued Alive RevUAIiED,?For some time past, the work of romoving the remains of tho de? parted from tho old Kornau Catholic burying ground to the now cometery has been quietly going on. A gentleman who wob engaged iu removing the re? mains of some of his deceased relutives, was asked by an acquaintance, who wus similarly engaged, to assiai him in lifting a coffin from a grave. He did so, and tho lid was taken off. To the horror of tho small body of spectators who gather? ed around it, they discovered that tho body, which was that ot au uncle of the gentleman who was removing it, had been disturbed in tho coffin. It was terribly contorted, as if tho deceased had died iu great agony. Tho face woro an expression of intense pain and horror, and the arms were drawn up as far us the coffin would admit, and tho head was twisted round to tho shoulders, from which tho flesh had apparently been gnawed by tho struggling man. Sick? ened by the horrid sight, tho spectators drew back from tho coffin, aud looked speechlessly into each other's eyes. Not a word was spoken, but there was not a mun present who did not feel that tho deceased had been buried alive? probably while in.a trance?and had awakened only to perish in his living tomb. ? Oltu wtt Citizen. Return of Liberia Colonists.?We elip tho following paragraph from tho Norfolk (Va.) Journal, oi tho 23d iu utant: The last trip of the Boston steamer Wm. Crane, brought to this port a col? lection of thirty-seven negroes,, the roni uaut of a colony of 100 that left here nearly two years ago, on the American Colonization Society's missionary ship, Edith Kose, to locate in the free republic of Liberia. They arrived at Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, aud romaiuad in the vicinity eleven months, during which tima tho entire colony was taken down with ono of the malarial fevers incident to tho country, called the African fever, and 120 of their number perished. Tho survivors managed to return to Boston, aud now come back hero destitute in pocket aud disgusted with the "land of their fathers," where they say horses are unknown to the agriculturist, and ootton never grown to perfection, bat runs up all together in treo-like stalks. The oolony originally came from South Caro? lina, and are trying to get baok to that seotion. That pet settlement of the Abolitionists, ou the West coast of Afri? ca, has always possessed a climate un? congenial to the white man, and from the experience of those South Carolina negroes, we have ample evidenoe of its also being destructive to the American raised black. At an English funeral lately, ono of the six bearers slipped and fell, the others dropped the coffin, and it fell upon the Srostrate man in sach a manner as to iu iot injarios of which he died in less than a week.
