Os course nobody in Ge <rgia has any idea that there is one eent wroi g'n the treasury. That must ■ be clearly understood, for certainly the i gentlemen who have sung st d the reso- I lu'ion have no other idea, Ont they do i think that the law regulating deposito ries is wrong, and they want to get at the exatt facts io this ee.hnn) tn-V'er. A Point of Personal Privilege. The senate had a little sens*'too when Senators Hatcher and Chambers arose Ibis morning to a question of personal privilege.

Fleming wh ch raised the direct question of fact aa to the t ruth of the report of that joint committee wSich siid that there was sufficient money in the treas ury to pay ihe teachers and widows and Soldiers quar'erly without any further 1-sislation. That report seamed astound ing, and naturally resulted in a great de >1 of inquiry. Mr. F emiog felt with theoth-ire, and his interview showed that he was tight. Se atorCuambers and Senator Hatcher Were on thia j nut committee and they did nos at all relish the cri'icism oast on thec.immittee, and noth said they were unwilling to let it pais unnoticed. They r forced to Mr. F eming’astar,em>mtcon- Oiruin ' th-ir report and sid that if the report is fa'se the treasurer is reap >nsi ble.

The Iron Fight Will be Carried Into the i-touse and Senate by Alabama Delegates- Washington, Nov. 23.—The demo cratic members of the ways and means committee have abandoned the small room in which they began their work on the tariff bill and moved upstairs to the committee’s own commodious quarters. A messenger at the door ■ lenies adiniss ion to every caller. Speaker Crisp him self, if he were in town, would not be able to enter the room without first send ing in his card. The progress made indicates that the committee will be able to report the bill by the time fixed. It is rumored, how ever, that some members of the commit tee think that a day or two ought to be given to the republican, members of the committee for the discussion of the meas ure in the confidence of the conimittee room before publication is made. This : point will be settled later. Mr. Cockran’s opposition to an income tax will avail nothing, so far as his Dem ocratic colleagues on the committee are concerned. The has with him only Wil son of West Virginia, and Stevens of Massachusetts. His only hope therefore lies in a combination With tne Republi cans, all of whom, of course, oppose an income tax. It is intimated that Mr. Cockran may resort to this measure to carry his point, although such an exam ple set by a Democratic member of the ways and means committee might be disastrous to all party discipline iu the house. When the tariff bill reaches the senate it will be referred to the finance com mittee, and then will begin the real fight against it. The majority of the amend ments that are certain to fail in the house are as certain to be taken across to the senate and introduced there. The vote will be close. In the finance com mittee the change of one vote would carry an amendment. Will Go Free. The iroijile men have been informally notified by members of the ways and means committee that it had been finally decided by the Democratic members that iron ore would be placed on the free list. This is the most important develop anent of the day, as it leaves the iron men of Alabama, Virginia and Michigan no alternative but fb carry Their fight to the floor of the house. This they are threatening to do. but it is more freely stated than ever that the new tariff bill containing this new provision will be op posed in tlie~hou.se by the solid Demo cratic delegation from Alabama and in the senate by Senators Morgan and Pugh. The Western iron Ore associa t.o:i. through President George 11. Fly, of Ohio, has made a vigorous protest to ti e commit ec. The Wool Schedule Arranged. The committee has concluded the wool schedule of the new tariff bill. The measure provides for the admission free of duty of all wools and hair of the cam el, goat, alpaca and other like animals, and ot wool and hair on the skin, top waste and other wastes and rags com posed wholly or in parr of wool, and also repeals what are known asuonipensatory duties on woolen goods and reduces- -the ad valorem duties on such goods. It also repeals the compensatory duties upon carpets of all kinds, rugs and mats and reduces the ad valorem duties there on from 40 per cent ad valorem to 30 per cent an valorem. It also reduces the duties upon certain qualities of waste, which have been ad vanced beyond the condition of scoured wool by the use of machinery or by the application of labor to 25 per cent ad valorem.
