The treasury officials have furnish cd the Georgia delegation in Con gress with a list of all the officers and employees who are accredited to this Slate. They number forty three in all, and from the Washington corres¬ pondent of the Atlanta Constitution we learn that the Savannah district and lb© Atlanta district have each eleven appointees. Ten of the elev eu appointees from the Atlanta dis trict are from Fulton county. Mr. E. F. Speer, cf Spalding, is the ex ception,but he holds the highest po sittott to the matter of rank and pay of any Georgian in lhe Treasury Do partment. Out of these forty-three employees quite a number are Repub licans. The majority faom the first district are Republicans, but the fifth presents only one or two as her quota.
