THE TARPF.
At the conference of opposition members from
Pennsylvania last night, in regard to the tariff, they
agreed to recommend to the Committee On ways
and Means to fx specific duties on iron at fhe fol-
lowing rates: Ozpig iron, s. per trra;. railroad
iron $l2 per tun; common bar iron, SO per tun;
fine bar iron, ] cent per pound; boiler iron, IA
cents per pound; Russia sheet iron, u cents per
pound These are the principle descriptions, though
ecrap and other minor classes of iron are provided
for. This proposition has not yet been submitted
to the Ways and Means Committee and may DO
modified before being presented in the new bill to
the House. 1t is probable the tariff VIII be re-
ported about the middle of next week, before al
the appropriations are submitted to giyet proper
poation in the order Of business.
MR.. HYATT's CASE.
The whole sitting Of the Senate was consumed
with Mr. Hyatts case, WHO figures as State prisoner
while gentlemen are discussing technical meet 90.
The subject was postponed till Monday, when tia
discussion may take wider range than ia now an
ticipated.
THE APPROPRIATIONS.
The following bids are yet to be reported from
the Committee on Ways and Means, which viii
complete the appropriations: Miscellaneous, Civil,
Legislative, Naval. and Deficiency. The last y
smaller than for several years, being Si;0o0000 IN
tie aggregate.
THE TREASURY.
Twenty millions of dollars Of Treasury Notes,
granted by the last Congress, will expire on tho
LIST of JAY, and the House VIII not authorize b
reissue, but require them to be funded, that the
country may see the debt created by the present
Administration. 1t Is now proposed to. connect
this loan with the Tariff BILL the revenue derived
from that source, after defraying the regular ex-
penditures of Government, will be applied to the
extinction of this indebtedness, there being no other
resource for that purpose. The Senate, which TO
sisted funding before, will yield now, apd this may
compel some concession on the Tariff.
