More Cannibals.

Real cannibals have been diseoy-
cred by the Missionaries on the
island Of New Britton and New
Ireland, of the northeast coast Of
New Guinea. These natives are
nude sayages of the Oriental negro
type, who live more like beasts than
human beings. The Rev. George
Brown, a Wesleyan missionary, re-
ports that he saw women roasting
the leg and thigh of a man who
had been killed in a fight. In an.
other hut smoke-dried human flesh
was hanging. In another he counted
thlrty-five jawbones of men and
women. Oannibalism seems to be
common throughout the islands,
not as a religious rite, but as an
ordinary means of subsistence.
The natives assured the missionary
that the accounts published of a
race of tailed human beings were
true, and were certain that these
strange creatures were not monkeys.

A PROPOSED RzLIEr MgAsURE.

The Tennessee legislature reas-
sembles next Monday, the 5th.
One of the first bills to be cousid-
cred by the senate is the house bill
postponing the collection of taxes
until the first of May. 1t will no
doubt pass, as it should, but the
time is too short. 1t should be
further of, say sometime next fall.
Better this, however, than nothing.
The State is not in need of money,
except to pay the interest on the
debt, and it is to be hoped that no
more forced payments will be made,
"dollar for dollar" The back taxes
that will come in, with the privi-
lege taxes collected and turned over
monthly by county court clerks,
will be ample to pay ordinary ex-
penses-that is, everything except
interest, for twelve months. By
that time a compromise Of some
kind will be effected with the
States creditors, the people will
be in better condition, more
hopeful and perfectly willing to
meet all reasonable and just de-
mands. The measure in question
is all right, as far as it goes. 1t
gives a breathing spell and will en-.
able many who were not able to
pay on the first Of January to avoid
costs. The farmers have little, if
anything, to sell at this season Of
the year, aud many of them will
find it very hard to pay on the first
of May. Our representatives have
been at home a week among the
people and must be aware Of the
great stringency in money matters.
II the collection of taxes for 1876
be postponed until the first Of No
vember, 1877, it will be a relief in
fact as well as in name and will do
injustice to no class. What say the
members of the senate and the
house?

:How General Ignatie9 Looks.

nov AgnotfeH Looks.
Washington Union.I
General Ignatief is said TO be a
Greek by descent; he has regular
features, rather large, an open, we'll
shaped forehead, and an expression
of which the dominant look is one
of inquiry-inquiry slightly min
gled with contempt at times, as
though he knew, or intended to
know, more than his informant
upon any subject brought to his
attention. Il is not an attractive
aspect, though General Ignatieff has
a polished aud coneiliatory manner
when the first d~isagreeable effects
Of it have worn off. Wilkes boosted
that he needed only ten minutes to
talk people out of his face General
lgnatieff could probably perform
the same feat in five, Heis any
thing rather than an ill-fayored
man; but his first entrance into a
drawing-room chills the company
as though a window Of it had come
open while a cool wind was abroad.

THE FLORIDA CASE.

The joint convention of congress
assembled Thursday to count the
electoral vote seemed disposed to
assume as little responsibility as
possible, and leave everything to
the commission. The Republicans
did not object to Alabama as had
been predicted they would, and the
Democrats said not a word when
Colorado was counted for Hayes
and Wheeler. The double retarn
from Florida brought about a dead
lock, and it is likely to remain sew
eral days. 81. @. W." the CORE
spondent of the Courier Journal,
says:
In point Of fact there were three re-
turns, one Tor Hayes and two returns
certifying the choice OF the Tilden cleo
tors. IL took a long time to inlsh the
entire reading. Then came the otjec
tons, on the Democratic side, to tha
Hayes electors. Mr. Field presented
them. They bad been drawn with much
care, and have the marks OF the highest
legal skill. 1t seemed hard on Hayes
that, when the time came for the Repub
licans to object to the Democratic elec
tors, no stronger man than Mr.. Sargent,
Of California, could be found, His OBJ
jections were as hippant in substance AZ
be was and is in his manner. There
we're objections also by Senator Jones,
of Florida, on which less stress is appa.
rently placed, s%ilesing the qualifications
Of a Iayes e%lector, and Mr. Kasson, who
is now the leader Of the house on the
Republican side, also put in an ohjec.
lion. This State wound up the affairs
Of the day.
Leading Democratic lawyers, in aud
cut of congress, express the greatest
confidence in the strength Of the Florida
case, and believe that the commission
will give the vote to Tilden. The Repub
licans rely entirely upon ex Governor

A skiff containing four young men,
named respectively Hal Evans, Tom Pc.

went from this side Of the river to Jofer-
s%onville yesterday.
On an attempt to return to the Ken.
lucky shore, the skiff inperceptibly
hoated into the swift current and was
swept toward the falls. The occupants
appeared powerless to control its move.
ments, probably becoming panic stricken
from the imminent danger in which they
appeared to be. One attempt to turn
the skif so as to cause it to strike the
dam Of the mill on the Indiana side was
made but proved q failure, and the skiH
flying rapidly onward was soon in a very
dangerous vicinity, as was indicated BY
the white caps just ia front. Striking
the rocks which caused these caps,
the skif upset and the occupants we're
houndering in the water.
Accounts differ as to what occurred
after this. One says that all the men
chung to the skiff, aud would have hoated
out with it had not enc of their number
attempted to claEbe on top of it, thus
overturning it and breaking the hold of
his companions.
Another account is that Brophy and
Peterson were not able to swim, and
were swept away and drowned imme-
diately after the skif upset. Evans swan
tn the shore and was saved. 0'Neal
chung to the skiff with all the ~tenacity Of
o drowning man, and though it was
whirled over aud over again, never
loosened his hold. Like Evans, he used
every effort to rid himself Of bis clothing,
thus hoping to escape. AS he hcated
near Smyser's mill be was rescued by
some Of the employees.
Both Evans and O'Neal came out of
he river perfectly nude and we're taken
into the mill, where Mr.. Guernsey, Of
that establishment, looked after their
wants. Brophy, one Of the lost young
men, lived with his aunt at Fifteenth
and Soutbgste streets, while Peterson
lived at home with his father, Peter Pc
terson, corne Fifteenth and Broadway.
