Correspondence Of TIE Tribune.
wAsHISSTOE, Thursday, March r.
The I'arig question, az the Telegraph viii nave
Informed you, has been decided. The caoinep
% which MIR. CoRwIS referred it. concluded win
him, that it woald not be well TO take advantage
Of the phrsseology Of Mr.. HUNTERS sppFa''e-
ment bill, DO batter how or why h Wss 20 Word'
ed. This decision Of the Admlnistration VIII
doubtless prove satisfactory to all. Pennsylvania
may possibly object yet upon reelection 1t must
Ia evident 10 her that any other decision would
have wrought great ultimate disadvantage. Even
m, I,op and Coal, at the usual price Of trAnspor-
t.,;on the difference could only have been thrilling,
nerhsps Eve OF six per cent. while on other i'm
porss IL would be scarcely worth talking about
Yet this slignt boon would have been made the
pretext of denying Pennsylvania any additional
Tariff for years to come, and i. would have pros
trssed to some extent the friends of the Tariff In
that State.
The law o. construed leaves the principle upon
which appraisemeDts are based substantially the
same as Il was laid down by Mr.. Secretary WAL
xFR la other respects, however, incidentally
bearing oven upon this point, the Appraisement
regulations specifically provided by Mr.. HUNTERS
bill, including the creation Of the Office OF APP
praiser. General, are great Improvement upon
the former loose system, and OF themselves AFFORD
much additional protection to tie Tariff Interests
and they throw q barrier, too, around the honest
importer which appears likely 10 shield him efsc-
tsally from the knavery Against which he hss nth
erto desparingly contended In carrying out this
portion Of the Law l am led TO believe that the
Administration will endeavor 70 make IL as effect
nal rs possible. Mr.. CORwIS, though Western
man, is said TO be possessed Of the clearelt per-
teptions upon this whole subject and j under-
stand that be has improved his cOnvalescence by
bringing his vigorous intellect to bear upon these
knottiest of eli questions with which statesmen
have % deal.
The Union, day or two since, groaned over
four removals from the Treasury. The tacr is, no
removals were made the four persons mentioned,
AsERr, DALLAS GoUGE and one other, having
been dropped from temporary employment for
want Of work.
The removal in New.York OF KELLOGG,
CLOVES, PoED and MEAD, Wn, J, excite consid
cradle remark Nobody seems 10 understand il
in view of recent events Mr.. HARRISGrOS, Post
master at Buffalo, who is very i'll, will remain for
the present.
Mr.. EwBAEK's whole case under new charge,
that of pasfag for the printing of official reports
Ouf Of the Patent Fund, is under review by the
Secretary of the Interior. The paid writers who
are trumpeting this charge insist with great en-
phasis upon ts truth. 1 suppose it might be
proved by the same wiseacres that the gun ire
auently shines, if they had witnesses enough. 1t
h understood that the Secretsry's decision, what
ever it may be, is TO be definite and final.
