CIAIoI FoR PRIZE MONEY.

Admiral wOrden, who commanded the Monitor
in her famous fight with the Merrlmae, intends
to petition Congress, on behalf OF himself and bis
officers and men, for bounty to the extent OF the
estimated value Of the MerrimRe. Inc case Is
outside Of the regular bounty and prize laws, and
IL exceptional, like that OF the kearsage, which
destroyed the Alabama, fer which special act
Of Congress had to be passed. The merrtmae was
neither sunk nor captured, but Il is claimed that
she was so disabled as to be practically de-
strOyed.

The remarkable salubrity which has character
iZed the District Of Columbia the past year is
certainly cause for eoDgratulation, as we'll as of
thankfulness to the Great Dispenser of earthly
blessings. We especially sIude to the remark
able Immunity from epidemics Of all kinds-an
immunity as complete as 1t lie extraordinary.
While smallpox, typhoid fever, diptherla, scar
latina and kindred maladies have added largely
to the mortality of other sections Of the country
Washington and Georgetown have been exempt
from the raTages Of these alarming diseases
The pTOmptness with which smallpOX-at one
time threatening widespread destruetion-Eas
arrested in its progress, indeed utterly crushed
out of existence in our midst, affords gratifying
evidence Of the zeal and efficiency displayed in
the ehOrs to defend the public from danger and
death. The recent system Of vital statistics con-
stitUtes also an additional safeguard against the
spread Of epidemics. The immediate notice thus
afforded, under late regulations Of the existence
Of disease will make IL possible promptly to adopt
sufficient measures of protection.
The Board Of Health, in entering upon another
year Of sanitary labor, invokes what It always
needs, the encouragement and aid Of those for
whose life and health It's honest and earnest et-
forts stand pledged. Let every man look to his
own household. Let the rules Of health be
studied regularly at homo. In and around every
dwelling let the owner or tenant exercise the
functions Of q vigilant sanitary inspector. In
this way the health Of every family will be
greatly enhanced, and the public labor and eX-
pense proportiOnately llghtened.

pool.
PHILADELPHIA, April "a, 1874
After the steamship Pennsylvania, OF the Ameri-
can line OF this city, had sustained the loss OF her
officers and arrived In port, she was sent 10 the
shipyard OF Cramp Co., and put under slight re-
pair 1t was the general opinion then that the
ship had received very severe injuries, and that
her repair would consume long space Of time
TN the contrary, however, she was declared ready
for sea In a very short period, and hence one OF
two facts became cerrain-viz., that she had
either not received the damage said to have hap
pened to her, else she was only partially over
hauled and hence unfit Tor the Atlantic. The
chief engineer thus explained to-day 10 a COURT
NV name is E. K Eddows: an chief en- gineer or
the steamer; 1t IS the custom 10 report the depth
OF water IN ship regularly: but after we LETT
Philadelphia. April O., there was no such regu-
the 18th OF April we received q report
that there was an immense amount OF water in
the ship; the Captain SAID that the water IN her
forward compartment hal increased to the depth
OF seven feet, while up to tins time we had ex-
perlenced none but moderate weather; IN ad-
ditlon to this the pumps had been kept constantly
l. don't know how much, however; the
ana there here was water between her
decks we arrived at Liverpool April %; the
cargo was then discouraged; saw . part OF IL; 1t
In streams; the ship was then put on the craving
dock; saw repairs gong on; the men worked all
day and all night; all the rivets IN the bars were
loose they had 10 be cut and new ones put In an
iron bnkhead was also put In, and many other re-
pairs made; during the trip we had no weather
calculated to any way strain the ship.
Such was his testimony Any man can imagine
what might have happened.
