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

? 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 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.

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.

advance of the usual Ii too. 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
