THE POSTOFFICE. Synonsiii of the R» port of the Assistant Postmaster General.

The total appointments during the year were 12,343. There have been employed during the year 3,115 carriers in 112 of the principal cities, being an increase of 254 carriers. The serv ee during the year has been extended to Augusta, Me., Burl ngton, Vt., and Concord. N. H. The cost of the Bervice was $2,623,262. leaving an unexpended balance of $1,736 to the credit of this division. The aggregate postage on local matter at all the free-delivery offices was $3,816,576.09, being $542 945.70 more than for the previous year, a d $1,193,316.45 more than the co't of Ihe servic ; a per centum increase of postage on local matter of 16.50, and 4.93 increase in the coat of the service. The averag j cost per piece of handling matter was 2.3 mills, a decrease of one-tenth of a mill as compared with the preceding year. The average cost per carrier (computed on pay of carriers and incidental expenses) was $N>5.75, a decrease of $37.79. The aggrega e pieces h n lied b the c rriers during the year was 114,832,832 in Chicago, as compared with 238 518.2'3 in New York, 82 .’'B9.7'*>o in Boston, 27.285,2 7 in Cincinnati, 144,894,869 in Philadelphia, 41,665,249 in St. Louis, and 23,046,213 in .San Francisco.

The est imates for the fiscal year, ending June 30, for the office of the First Assistant Postmaster General aggregate $19,369,091, of which $10,134.< 91 is for Postmasters, $4,850,090 for clerks and 3,C0 »,COO for carriers. The estimates for he next year show an increase of $2,227,091 over the appropriations for the current year.

IRON ANO STEEL The Depression Caused by Overproduction. Th© Situation Probably Not So Bad as Represented. A number of Iron and steel mills in all 1 parts of the country are to close down withi in a month or two for reasons which may be J divided into two classes: First, the depression in the iron and steel traffic; and, second, the anticipation of free-trade legislation on the part of the next Congress. As to the I latter consideration, Judge Kel ey, of Pennsylvania, says that the next session of Congress can not extend beyond seventy days, and that even were the Committee on Ways and Means disposed to refo m the tariff it would be an impossibility to get a bill through m the time th nt. would ho loffc o. ier disposing ot the appropriation bills and the hundre is of measures that will necessarily encumber the Speaker’s table. In reference to the depression in the busine*s Ethan A Hitchcock, President of the St Louis Ore and Steel Company, says: The price of steel rails has fallen from S6O to $45 per ton, and pig ir- 11 only from $25.50 to $24. The fall in steel rails was due, he said, to overproduction. In one year the estimated capacity i of the steel mills of the United States had increased 900,(.00 tons. The probable demand for m-xt year would be about 1,000,000 to :*, as against a possible output of 2,150,00) ! tons. If ihe demand should prove to be 50 j percent, of the capacity, all the mills could l not work full time. And the probability was ‘ that next year there would be but litt e rail- ; road building, and rails would be needed for reconstruction and repair alone. G oomy apprehensions are entertained by other firms. The managerof the Bethleh m (Pa.) Iron and Steel Works says the materials produced at his works are about as low as they c m go, and the outlook is a dull one. Gen. Lilly, of Mauch Chunk, says the business out 100 < is gloomy, orders given for bar iron having been countermanded in a large number of instances, and there being uncerI tainty on all sides. The President of the I Thomas Iron Company, in Pennsylvania, re- ! v£uu' aun Tiokenuauqua. me large works or I the Lackawanna Company, of Scranton, Pa., have shortened their time schedule. The laborers throughout the Lehigh valley are anxious about the future. These apprehensions are not shared, however, by all the manufacturers. The Tyrone (Pa) forges resume operations next week, and will run on full time. In Coatesville, Pa. though the proprietors consider the outlook gloomy, all the mills are busy and plenty of orders are on hand. The output of the Edgar Thompson steel works, Pittsburgh, has been reduced to two-thirds of their capacity, and the company say that among the manufacturers the question is the survival of the fittest, or, rather, the fattest pocket Thev could sell at $42 a ton if they could get coke and ore and wages down, but had n-*ver gone below $45. In Bridgeton, N. J., the iron foundries are very busy. The Cleveland (Ohio) rolling-mills are not to be shut down, and the Bay View work*, near Milwaukee, which have not made any steel rails for some time and shut down the iron-rail mill three weeks ago, will not be affected except through the sympathy inevitable to all lines of the iron business. The North Chicago, the Union Iron and Steel mills, the Joliet and the Vulcan mill of St Louis are still running, but will have a conference with their hands about Jan. 1 relative to w iges for the ensuing year, when the employers will probably d manda decrease of from 20 to 25 per cent’ on present rates. The trouble is attributed in Chicago to the Scranton company, which cut prices from $45 to $42 a ton, since which time sales have been made at S4O, the price at which they are now quoted in Eastern circulars, and at which the President of the Union Iron and Steel Company says they cannot be made here. A Philadelphia di c p’tch says: Thorough inqui y ail over the city and in all the leafing man if a«turin. (elite s of the State uo not warrant the opini n tha the iron and steel trade s in as bad condition as has been represented Indeed, James M. 8-vank, the Secretary of the American Iron and Steel Ass iciution, ;.nd one of the best-informed me in the country, said to-day: “It has been gre .tly exaggerated Tne steel-rail industry is in a very depressed condition, and the d mand f r o’th rir 11 and steel products is not equal to the expectations of a few months ago, b d there is no occasion for any ex-itement or alarm. Prices lave been gradually declining since last sjiring; there has been no sudden decline, not even in steel rails. Ido not believe that the present Congress, nor he Congre-s which has just been elected, will be so unwise as greatly to reduce the duties upon iron and steel, and hence I feel entirely "hopeful of the fut-n--ce.*>ari y an evil. ” A Washington dispatch states that it is be ;eved there “by many Congressm n and others who favor a revision of the tariff Jaws that the sensational reports of a general suspension of steel production are de*igned to influence Congress against any reduct on of the enormous measure o protection which the iron and steel interests already enjoy. Indications are not lacking to show that there is a good deal ot method and system in the attempt to irighten the country into the conviction that nothing short of a’ prohibitory tariff will prevent a general collapse oi the iron and steel manufactories of the United States.”

EATEN BY SAVAGES. Frightful Fate of Colombian Pioneers in a South American Wilderness. They Are Killed by Wandering Indians, Properly Cooked, and Then Devoured. A recent telegram from Panama states that a young merchant of Barbacoas named Fortes, in company with some friends, es-talli.-hed himself on the bank of the River Putumayo, among the virgin forest which there covers every foot of the ground. They erected a house, m .de a small c earing and already saw their way to profitable business, when they were visited by a number of Gevenetos Indians, who came ostensibly to trade. 1 hey were received well and were apparently satisfied, but suddenly they attacked and killed the Colombians and afterward cooked and ate them, 'i he I ans never visited Putumayo before, and no one had ever lallen in with them on the Amazon. Other tribes also ma le tin ir appearance in different place!, and it is believed some more powerful tribes are riving the weaker ones from the heart of th ■ unknown forest, or that they are voluntary emigrants who will murder and p under whenever an opportunity offers., Residents on t e frontier also suggest that they nnv have been driven from their b in -s wherever these may be—by slavers, wliosevesses ascended several tributaries of the Amazon a few months ago in search of slaves. The Sttir (ltd Jb'rold says of this suggestion: “Indians are captured on all the interior rivers and carried off to different out-of-the-way regions, where they are compelled to work on plantations established awav from anything bearing even a semi lance to civilization. It is probable the death of Fortes and his friends will attract th ■ attention of the Colombian Government to those long-neglected regions of the republic. MELVILLE’S PATHETIC STORY. A Graphic Description of the Finding DeLoiijr and Party. A Wa*hingt n tel eg-am say <: In the Jeannette Court Engineer Melville continued his account of the search for De Long and par y. T1 e narrative was very pathetic, and the speaker told the f-tory in a straightforward manner. He gave details of the disco vry of the party frozen to death on the banks of the Lena. The attention of the searchers was first attracted by

but poles sticking out of the snow. U;>on seeing these, the party advanced a few steps when they saw a hand reaching out in the snow, which at terward proved to be De Long’s. The rest of the p irty then discovered the remains of a fire n«‘ar them, and evidenc s that the unfortunate men had been nying to remove their effects, with supposed view of reaching the banks of the river. Melville said they evidently recognized 4 he fact that if they’died near the bank of tne river their bodies would bo carried away by the flood. Melville examined )>eLong’s journal, found near where the body bodies were all frozen to the ground, but as soon as discovered were pried up, ro led together and covere 1 with tent cloth. It was lound when Ambler’s body was turned over that he clutched DeLong’s pistol From this Melville drew the inference that D Long died before Amber, and that the l itter had taken the pistol to keen off animals. Melville gave directions to have D Long's body taken out of the snow and placed in a nut near by. He also directed that the remaining bodies be very carefully preserved, and any article found on their persons. FITZ-JOHN PORTER. Gen. Grant Makes a Fresh Plea in His Behalf, And Asks that He Be Restored to His Rank in the Annv. Gen. Grant has a long article In the last number of the North American Review, entitled “An Undeserved Stigma,” in which he reviews the evidence in the Fitz John Porter case, and reaches the conclusion that great injustice has been done that officer, which ought to be undone as soon as possible. The article is simply an amplification of the points contained in Gen. Grant’s letter to the President on the same subject. In conclusion he says: “Gen. Porter has now for twenty years been laboring under the martini or' rnmrthffU c l 6ntending for a restoration to his position in the army and in society, and always, as stated in the beginning of this article, on the ground of his entire innocence. The investigation of the Schofield board has, in my judgment, established his innocence of ail the offenses for which he was tried and convicted. The suferings of twenty years under such findings for h mself and family and friends s something it is now impossible to set right. Twenty years of the best part of his lise are consumed in trying to have his name and his reputation restored before h s countrymen. In his applicat on now before Congress he is asking only t' at he may be r stored to the rolls of the annv >v th the rank that he would have if the court-martial had never been held. This, in my judgment, is a very small part, of what it is possible to do iu 1 his case and what ought to be done. Gen. Porter shnu d, in the way of a partial resti ution, be declared by Congress to have been convicted on mistaken testimony, and thetefore to have never been out of the army. This would make him a Major General of volunteers until the date might be fixed for his muster out of that rank, after which he should be continued as a Colonel of infantry and Brevet Brigadier General of the United States army from the date of the act, when he could be placed upon the retired list with that rank. * * * If a solemn and sincere expression of my thorough understanding of and belief in the entire innocence of Gen. Porter will tend to draw the public mind to the same conviction, I shall feel abundantly rewarded for my efforts. It will always be a pleasure to me as well as a duty to be the instrument even in the smallest degree of setting right any man who has been grossly wronged, especially if he has r.sktd life and reputation m defense of his country. I feel, as stated on a previous ooasion, a double interest in this. As General of the Army, when I might have been instrumental in having ju*tice done to Gen. Porter, and la er as 1 resident of the United State*, when I certainly con d have done s •, I labored under the impression that he was guilty. Having become bet er i formed, I at once voluntarily gave, as I have continued to give, my earnest < fforia to impress toe minds of my «oun rymen with the justice of this case, and secure from the Government, as far as it could grant it, the restitut on due to Gen. Fitz John Potter. ”

A LOGAN BOOM. Reasons Which Make the Illinois Senator One ot tne Available Candidates of His Party. A Tendency in Certain Quarters tn Favor the Nomination of Gen. Phil Sheridan. [Washington Telegram to Chicago Times.] The Critic made the day of Senator Logan’s return to Washington the occasion of nominating him for the Presidency, and giving the reasons for regarding him as decidedly the most available candidate for 1884 To day this is followed up by a Vommunieation in The Republican signe 1 “Old Soldier,* which nom nates him again, thus: “Many cases have been a*signod for the tidal wave which swept over the Republican party last Tuesday. One of the greatest causes svas exhibited in the election of Gen. Butler by the soldier vote. His election :is Governor of Mas--achusetts will make him the D mocratic candidate for President in 1884. Th ■ election of Illinois has proved that under the 1 'adership of the gallant soldier, Gen. John A. Logan, the soldier vote was cart for the Republican ticket. Although Republican States like lowa, Michigan and others have lost Republic in Congressmen, Illinois has lost none and may have gained one member, be-ide sending a good Republic nto the United .State : Senate to succeed David Davis. If the Republicans hope to elect a President over Gen. But er they must run a purer man and better soldier, and that man is Gen. John A. Logan, of Illinois. ” But many leading Repub ienns feel that t e only :hing that can sav • t 1 e party two years 1 ence i* some bold novelty tha* will create enthusiasm and catch votes in some direction to re lace those that are daily being lost to the j arty. Senator Logan did not sulk wo year* ’ago, as Conkling and Cam ron did. and therefore will be much m re accept able to th* anti-stal warts than they. At the same time every man who has long been in political life has ’made enemies, :nd Senator Logan has been prominently conccrne 1 in th internecine Republican war. He may Lave lost a< much str ngth with the Conk i -g wing as he has gained by his discretion on t booth r side. Forth se reasons some pr mment Republicans are much in favor of the nomination of Gen. Sher dan. He hag the fr.endsh p of Grant with ut having 'ncurrel the hortilitv of Grant’s enemies, and it is calculated that he can get the Catholic vote, the Irish vote and the soldier vote. Sh j idan’s military care-r might not afford much of a clew to his Presidential policy, but it would enab e the campaign orators to evoke much enthusiasm and to become very eloquent wi’h >ut committing themselves hoi ‘elessly on the issues of the day. One of the growing issues is the tariff a dry matter of statistics which it takes a pood deil of patience and industry to understand, and a campaign orator w u*d be glad enough to get away from ad valorem and the incidence of taxation and th ■ relation ot cost to ’ rotit, and sen 1 Early whirling up the Saenandoah or fght over again the battle of Winchester, subsequent to Sh ridau’s arrival on the field. There is, by the way, a strong prospect that Congress this winter wdi perpetuate the gr des ot General and Lieutenant General. Such action would be gratifying to Sh ridan and Hancock, the two most popular office; s in the service, and the more Likely to be gratified because eac r is closely identified with one of the great political uaruea

The seizure on the night* of the 3d of January last of nearly a ton of opium valued at $26,000, while an attempt was being made to land it from the steamship Citv of Tokio at the wharf of the Pacific M *ll Steamship Company, is the largest and mostimportant case of smuggling discovered during the year. It is reported that the business of opium smuggling on the Pacific coast has been carried on by an organized company, which includes capitalists, Custom House steamship employe-, local politicians and Chinamen. All customs officers suspected of complicity with smugglers have been dismissed from the service. ” On the subject of undervaluation, Mr. Martin says: “Investigation has shown that, upon the advice of an agent, foreign manufacturers often invoice consigned goods far below the cost of production. It is estimated tnat less than 40 per cent, of the 60 perCcntum ad-valorem duty on s Ik is collected tn conseouence of the* undervaluation of that article. ”
