MIR. WEBSTER AND THE SECRETARYsHIP-Ihe
Unfounded Charges--fhe following is the letter
written by Mr.. Webster to Mr.. Haven, of Boston,
which was referred to in the particular statements
Of the late charge against the Secretary OF State,
as to his being bribed, etc, in accepting office and
which was supposed to contain matter sustaining
that charge. The letter, it will be seen is very
innocent one The person alluded to, whom Mr..
Webster "could find without going out OF Mass
achusetts,' i, understood to be the Hon. Edward
Everett. Mr. Haven says it is the only letter which
he ever received from Mr. Webster in relation to the
State Department prior to his announcement to him
that he had accepted the Office.

THE AMRNDMENT OF THE TARIFF,-Both the
Picayune and the Crescent have been led into an
error byrelying on the free trade papers. The new
law simply substitutes the words, I" the period Of
expectation to the United States" in lieu of The
time when purchased" This reading only carries
out the constructioniput on the act by the Urea.
sury Department. which appraised the goods a,
their value at the time Of their expectation. TIL.
Suprsms Court decided this to be an error, and
duties were in many instances paid back. This is
the only change in the law. One construction
would include all costs and charges as forming
part Of the value; but the Courts have repeatedly
passed on that question adversely. SO ut NAV be
now considered that the amendment is of compar.
atively triang consequence.
