Grand street, where number 0f men were assem-
bled and went through the usual ceremonies, which
he was informed constituted the regular Masonic
initiation. Shortly after Erich paid fees to the
amount OF So H. Asuspicon, however, subsequently

The Decline in Gold.

Nothing could be more lamentable than the
triumph of the infatlonsts in Congress just
now when national causes seem so rapidly
bringing us to specie payments. The Senate
has done the country a real service by veto
ing the attempt of the House in the direction
OF further issue of greenbacks. The New
York Herald of Wednesday had an article on
the continued decline of gold which explains
very clearly the causes that have occasioned
il. We make the following extract:
The steady decline from 12O, which was the
price at the beginning OF the year, is due to
The operation OF purely legitimate causes: but
the public and speculative mind has been so
long accustomed to think that there should be
a premium on gold that the decline has been
contested step by step / expectation of a re-
covery to former prices. The fail to lower
quotations in spite Of this opposition only the
mole torclbly proves the presence of natural
influences in the dropping OF the gold market.
IL was rare discovery made the other day
in Washington, in the Bureau Of Statistics,
tnat our exports during the expired portion
OF the hscal year have been within a trifle
Ut our imports. The fact really accounted for
what was puzzle to Wall street.-the obsti-
| nate weakness Ofthe gold market. When the
ciques undertook to advance stocks and gold
they encountered an mcomprehensible iner-
| tia in the latter, which is now explained. Yet
some OF these gold gamblers learn nothing by
| the experience OF the past month, but con-
| tinue to buffet away at the Decline
They took the statement of the exports
and imports and picked flaws in it.
But even allowing the few millions
which they would add to the balance
against us, they throw out OF the calculation

THE Loss OF THE GOLDEN CrrY.-Furtbe,

THE Loss OF THE GOLDEN CITY.-Further
details OF the loss of the steamship Golden City
on the coast of Lower California are received.
The fright of the passengers when it was
known that all hopes of saving the ship had
been abandoned was dreadful; women were
calling for their husbands, children were
screaming for their mothers, and others praying
God to save them, in a manner beyond any ad-
equate description. Presently the third mate
came forward and began pulling the pile of
life preservers asunder. In less time than it
takes to tell it, the heap was cleaned off TO the
floor. In the confusion such havoc ensued
that more than half the coveted articles were
rendered useless. When the fog cleared it
was found that the ship was but bait mile
from shore, and when it was finally determin-
ed to take to the boats the first officer appeal
ed to the male portion of the passengers to
behave like men to stand by him until the
women and children were safely landed,
threatening to shoot any one who attempted
to get into the boats till that was fully accor1-
plished. When they put off many feared
they would meet with loss in the angry break
ers chat were roaring around them. Every
danger, however, was soon overcome, and
with grateful hearts the bulk Of the passen-
gers reached the shore. Two boats landed
their human freight without accident. The
life raft, manned by the Chinese crew, was
then put into service, and by II o'clock, four
hours from the time she struck, the passen
gers were all landed. After remaining ashore
Jour days, all hope of rescue by any passing
vessel was given up, and the sufferers conmenc-
ed their weary Journey to Santa Maria The
direct road to the point OF deiverance was
not definitely known, some supposing il to be
over the point of the mountain. while others
chose to go inland ard around its base. Many
walked barefoot in the hot sand, and their suf-
feting from the piercing rays of the sun was
intense. Nine persisted the first day; the
march was resumed the next day, the party
reaching the steamer Colorado, which lay at
the head OF the bay, and were conveyed in
safety to San Francisco.
