Steamship Statistics. 4,
Inquiry ss the offices Of the different
steamship lines chow that the yaggre-
gate number Of travellers to Europe
this season win probably be much less
than in 1873. The reduction is gener-
ally attributed to the effects Of the late
panic and the unsettled stste of the
currency, aud while many IN conse'
ouence cannot afford the luxury OF an
ocean trip, many who could well bear
the sxpenBe have deemed itinexpedient
to leave their business, and in this
situation maDy heads of families
have kept at home their
dependents, Some influence it is said,
has aIso probably been ELECTED by the
fact that there are no unusual attrac.
tions in Europe this year, and by dread
of ocean perils inspired by the late dis,
asters, j Outward freights this season
are generally abundant and in the same
lines show an excess over last year.
The recent disasters to the Trans-At-
lahtie company have not IT is said, pre-
ceptibly effected the number Of pas
sengers by the French steamers, ss but
few of those booked have Withdrawn
their names, and the steamer Laurent
which sails q week rom to-day will
carry about $50. Considerable falling
off from year ago is expected during
the season from the same causes which
OBJECT other companies.

The agents Of the Hamburg Ameri-

Tho Gauborn Case.


The Committee on Ways and Means
to-day examined Simon Herman, who
testified that he was a general anstion>
eer and commission merchant in New
York. During his examination by
Representative Beck, he said thst in
April 1872 he was indicted in the q. s.
court for alleged selling of liquor on
which tax had not been paid. AL
though perfectly innocent OF the charge
he paid several sums Of money to have
the case dismissed. Hearing of the in-
dictment he went to court and gave
bail. Goodrich Fay soon came to him
and said he could have been dismissed
BY the payment of $4,000, which mon.
ey was to be divided between Fay and
Sanborn. He also paid one thousand
dollars TO Judge Davis, at that time
District Attorney. To Foster, OF
the Committee, witness said he never
met Sanborn on the subject. His eon-
yersstion was with Fay slone
and he paid the $4,000
demanded to get rid OF the scandal, al
though he was entirely innocent OF the
charge. In answer to Mr.. Davis, one
OF the committee, the witness said the
checks were given on the same day, the
understanding being that THE was all
one arrangement and in accordance
with instructions from Washington. He
spoke to Judge Davis on the subject,
who said to the Witness you had bet.
ter let the matter rest. He did not tell
Judge Davis he had given 81 600 to the
other parties. When he went out Of
Fay's office he met Dekon, assistant
district attorney, who said, Judge Benz
edict is on the bench and the case has
been dismissed in accordance with Or
ders from Washington. The witness
then gave the checks to Judge DAVE

NEW ORLEANS, April 25.-The fol-

shows that the food in the Onachite
valley is not abated but is increasing
MONROE, La, April 25, 6 p. Mt
is i'm possible to give any idea Of the
entire overflow here. The water 10
higher than was ever known. The
town is on an Island two and bali
miles long by a hall mile wide, from
which there is no exit except by boat or
swimming. The people living in the
rear have been driven in and all the va:
cant houses are taken and several fam
lilies are living in the court house.
Business is almost completely suspend
ed. Fully one thousand people in town
have had no rations for three days,
nor money to buy with. Stock OF ev-
cry description is gathered in town and
are starving. On Desert leland almost
all the plantations are under water.
| OF 1000 acres Capt. Phillips has out
oply about $50. What has transpired
below we know nothing. Pargond's 9
home place is two feet submerged in
the yard, and there is no passing be-
low. Trenton is under from Crosby's
residence up beyond the business
houses of town, from six inches at the
foot of the principal streets, ten feet
at TIE river bank to eight feet in the
rear. Cotton is brought in and goods
sent out to Clanburn, half mile, in fats.
At Heads and Standiier's residences
the water is two feet deep in the yards
On the river bank front the fences are
nearly all washed down. A steamboat
could be run down Cotton street.
The river rose Que inch last night
II has rsined slowly ever since day
light, and is still raining.
There are no crops to speak OF, and
not five days work has been done along
the river for four weeks. On the hills
the land is washed badly, and what ha.
been done towards making crop ha'
been labor thrown away. What peo.
pie are to do God only knows.

TIE Huntington Adusrtiser produces
the following figures to show that pig
iron Of good quality can be manufac-
tured there for s20,So, per ton. Two
tons Of 50 per cent ore may be had at
Jacksou's river for s4.0O; the freight TO
Huntington will be S. 60; making the
ore cost in the stock house $500. One
ton OF coke will cost $500; limestone
$l.OO; and the labor necessary for
making from these materials one ton OF
iron is estimated at $500, thus making
the total cost of the iron $20S0. The
advertiser guarantees that these figures
are correct, with the exception OF the
price of the labor, and it is believed
that for this the sum assumed is q very
fair allowance. .... .r.
The pig iron market has been, during
a number Of months past, undergoing =
period Of unusual depression, and In
many instances producers have been
compelled by their necessities to sell
for less than the cost OF making. In
Pittsburgh last week good gray forge
iron was sold at S2700 per ton, and
