attacking and killing so many Of the thievish
! islanders of the Victoris Nyanzs, but force
was the only argument TO which the cannibsls
of Msnyema would yield. These man eaters
are probably cognste in race to the Fans of
the Upper Gaboon, who are noted for their
love of human flesh. 1t is to be hoped that
the scientific expedition, just sent from Portu-
gal, to the regions of the Upper Congo, may
gather abundant information to supplement
the facts which Sssnleys journals are likely
to set forth. As the case now rests, Stanley
must be placed at the head of explorers in
point of boldness and executive ability, how
ever much he may lack the missionary zeal
and gentle patience of Livingstone, the scien-
tific zeal of Schweinfurth or Bsrth, and the
genial good nature of Cameron.-Cincinnati

job, which is one of the finest pieces
of marine architecture ever turned
our from a shipyard. All praise is
due Alf Cutting and his competent
workmen.
The Osceola Belle, Captain ]. G.
Andrews, from the upper coast,
brought in 140 bales and 80 bags
Of cotton, 500 sacks seed, and sun
dries. She returns this evening to
Johnson's Landing, carrying the
mail and doing all way business.
B. 0. Michel, a worthy and efficient
clerk, does the honors of the Office.
The John A. Scudder, Captain
Frank Hicks, came in last night
from New Orleans with 40 bales of
cotton, 1113 sacks seed, 317 sacks
salt, 16 hhdS sugar, 81 bbls mo-
%lasses, 20 hhds cocoanuts and a lot
of Sundries. She will leave on a
return trip this evening, and will
have a good start from here, with
engagements below sufficient to fill
her out. Mr.. Charley Dix, a gen
tleman who is noted for his urban
ity and strict attention to business,
is her chief clerk, while Henry
Seaman, one of the best clerks on
the river, has charge of the freight
department.
The James D. Parker, Captain
Charley Russell, came in last night
from the Ohio river with $50 tons
of miscellaneous freight. She re-
turns to Cincinnati this evening at
8 o'clock, going through with dis
patch. She has recently undergone
a thorough overhauling, having
been repaired from the pilot-house
to the keelson and furnished anew
throughout. The Parker's pasSen-
ger accommodations will now com
pare favorably with the finest boats
on the river. Captain Russell main
tains the we'll known popularity of
the Parker by his untiring efforts
to make his passengers at home and
comfortable and giving all business
entrusted to his boat his personal
supervision. His many friends
here gave him a cordial greeting.
Mr.. Thompson is her chief clerk,
which is enough in itself to insure
a pleasant trip. Send down your
freight early, as Captain Lightburne
wants to give her a good send-of.
Senator WINDOWS free trade
river bill, introduced in the senate
a few days since, exempts steam
boats from warfage tax. 1t exempts
"all vessels belonging to citizens Of
the United States, and trading at
ports within the United States,
from any tax, charge Of toll for
levee or wharfage for landing at, or
transacting business at, across or
on any public wharf, leyee, dock or
pier constructed or maintained by
any municipal corporation, or in
which any municipal corporation
many have any %pecuniary interest"
The bill applies to vessels engaged
in the coasting trade, but its pur,
pose seems to be mainly to relieve
steamboats, from wharfage charges
at towns and cities at which they
may land. In some Of the lower
Mississippi cities these charges are
are very high, and have long been
complained Of by boatmen; but at
the large cities where great expense
is incurred to provide boats with
facilities for loading and to protect
them from ice and fire, the tax is
not deemed a hardship. If the
proposed bill should become a law,
steamboats, would have a right to
land at all wharves along the rivers,
and receive and discharge freight
on and across them free from all
taxes and tolls.
