the United States 100000 bushels of salt
are used annually,or about one bushel to each
inbabitant. The average rate of duty now
imposed is 224 per cent, advalorem. The
present average cost per bushel to consumers
is fifty cents per bushel. Under free admis-
sion it would not be over twenty five cents per
bushel, making difference in cost to the peo-
pie OF $l0,OOO,OO0, while government does not

ALICE CAREY.-The popular and genial au-
thoress, whose death is recorded this morning,
was born near Cincinnati in 1922 and her early
advantages of education we're very slight. Her
first venture before the public was in series
of sketches of rural life published in the Ma
tional Era under the signature of "Patty Lee. %
From that time forward she was frequent
contributor to periodicals. In 1850 volume
OF poems, the Joint work of herself and her
younger sister Phoebe, appeared in Phllade-
phia. In 1851 she published her romantic
poem of "Huaico," followed by others in 1853
La the interval appeared "Ciovunook,'' sere 8
of sketches Of Western lille and scenery, and
not long afterward were issued three novels

Observation-Disclosures General Cres-
well has written letter reviewing the pro-
| ceedings in the case of the Chorpennine
claim, in which he clearly shows that the re-
sponsibility for the error by which the perpe-
tratioh of great fraud upon the Treasury
was so nearly successful cannot be charged to
him.
The first case came before Mr.. Cresswell in
September, 1869. In October following he
gave written decision dismissing the petit
ton of Chorpenning for extra alowan ces,
upon the ground that the late Postmaster
General Brown had already decided the case
adversely, aud that in such cases the decision
should not be reversed or changed without
further legislation. In July, 1870, Congress
adopted joint resolution, directing the Post
master-General to investigate the claim ''un-
der the frs, section of the act of 1857. on
the basis of compensation allowed by said
act Tor the regular service, but also certain
other claim growing out of the curtailment
and annulment of his contract on route 1891
on the basis OF his agreement with the Post
master-General for that SERVICE"
The Postmaster General was allowed no
option under this mandatory act, and, regard
less OF the justice of the claim, was forced to
make decision in accordance with the facts
to which it confined him.
The statements of Postmaster-General
Creswell are confirmed by Mr.. John n Da-
Wis and Mr.. John McGrew, two of the officers
in the Postofice Department, and under this
showing the Postmaster-G General is relieved of
all censure. 1t is sufficient that Chorpenning
has not received any of the money asked as
extra allowance, and that he never will re-
ceive any on his claim, which is clearly I'M
Just.

THE anxiety for the fate of the Tennessee
is made an occasion by some of Admiral Por-
ter's enemies to heap abuse upon him. The
built exclusively for speed, being extremely
long, marrow and fiat bottomed. The i'm
mense weight of her engines, boilers and coal
gave her the ballast necessary to make YES
sci other build a good sea-boat, and her spars
were unusually light; in TACT they were of lit
tie account. II is charged that by order of
Admiral Porter, that when she was rebuilt,
her machinery and boilers were taken out,
and smaller ones put in, and her coal bunk
ers CORRESPONDENCE reduced. She was fitted
with the tall, heavy spars of iull-rigsed ship
and rugged with the heaviest wire rigging, to
the amazement of every one. Hence she was
top-heavy and as the rules of the Department
compel her to use sails, almost exclusively, it
is thought she was caught in a gale without
steam, went over and foundered. This is the
last theory OF the cause of her non-arrival at
San Domingo. On the other hand the Pres i
dent is said TO feel easy about her, as he did
not expect to hear from her before the 10th
inst, the directions given to the Commander
being such that she would touch at distant
part o the island before going to the capital.
1t should be observed also that we have had
no news nom San Domingo for some time,
and we do not yet share in the general alarm
for the vessei's safety. Messrs. Spofford, Bros.
& Co. of New York, in note to the Herald
give the following reasons why the vessel has
not been heard from:
Unless a special vessel is despatched TO Ha-
vana from st Domingo which is hardly prob
able, as the distance to that pace is nearly as
taras t. Hampton Roads, it would be almost
impossible TO hear of her arrival out before
the 18th inst, when the st. Thomas mail is
due to this port, bringing, in case of connec-
ton by the Spanish and Dominican mail
steamer, news from st Domingo City to the
10Th, this being the only steam communca-
ton with that place, except by the steamer
from st. Thomas, touching there on the 20th
and arriving in Havana Oh the 2Sth, and the
steamship Tybee, from st. Domingo to this
polt. due on the 22d inst. We shall in all
probability then, and not before hear of the
arrival of the Tennessee at st. Domingo City.

DISTURBANCE AT MEGA dispatch from
Nice contains information of serious disturb
ance in that city on Saturday evening. An
excited crowd of citizens had assembled in
front of the Prefecture and were indulging in
loud and riotous demonstrations, when the city
authorities interfered for the purpose of allay-
ing the confusion and dispensing the mob
Their interference however, was effectually
resisted by the crowd, and the boisterousness
of the latter increased SO rapidly and SO alarm
ingly as to render any further attempt to SUBJ
due it by the city authorities alone entirely
futile. The military were accordingly ordered
out, and a body OF troops were quickly brought
to the scene of the tumult. This, however, ex-
aspeI ated the mob still further instead of in
timidating them as was first intended, and
the troops were in turn made the objects of
attack. The order was according given to
the troops to charge the rioters, which was
obeyed, with fixed bayonets. The crowd re-.
treated before the steady advance of the mill
tary and finally fed The troops then march
ed through the STREETS, and effectually succeed
ed in RESTOCKING quiet. The outbreak is sup
posed to have been made at the instance and
under the leadership of partisaDs of the Re-
