Mr.. Brumm, Of Pennsylvania, rising to
a question Of privilege stated that the

language had been "the arch.conspirator

Mr.. Hammond, Of Georgia, disClatmed
any Knowledge tf the facts, but added
SarcasIically that II tho facts were so
stated by the gentleman from PtnnByl.
yanla q correction OF tho Record should be
made. It was very important that the
adjective should be In. Some gentlemen
did not object to being called q "liar,"
who II called ID liar" would get very

Mr. Morrison, OF Illinois, did not see
that any question OF privilege was In.

gentleman from Alabama did Use the

drew up q petition, had it signed by al
the iron men in the city and in the Ma.
honing and shenango Valleys, and sent
1t to the president Of the Lake Erie sys-

sylvania Companies. The petition asked
that the freight on iron ore might not be
increased. The freight was increased,
however, and as consequence the ship.

between 400 and 900 cars per day.
The furnace men claimed in their peti.
ton that the Iron market wis remarkably
quiet and that an advance could not be
borne. They showed that the price had
been advanced seyenty-ive cents on all
new ore; that lake transportation had
been increased hlty cents on the ton and a
further advance Of twenty-five cents in
freight TO Pittsburgh and proportionate
increase to the valleys would be intoler-
able, The answers ot the companies to
these arguments were received this week.
They pointed out that steel rails had in.

81 ton and that II was just as proper for
the railroads TO make al increase as the
miners OF the ore or the lake transporting
companies.
A further advance in the price Of ore Ia

contracts for the coming year. AS soon as
they learned the intention OF the railroads
