Rayages OF the StOrm-The Fisk
Tragedy.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 9.-The
storm which continued throughout the
whole OF last week, more or less violent
at intervals, was resumed on Sunday
night with terrible tierceness. During
the whole night and following day
the hurricane continued unabated,
accompanied by fearful deluge Of
ram. Up to last night twenty-four
inches of rain had fallen, and was
gradually yrncreasiug. The Guadalupe
river has overtlowed its banks and
submerged portions OF San Jose. At
Sacramento the levee is being repaired
10 protect the city from inundation.
Sage Gilrav and Stockton have been
seriously threatened. An accumulation
OF Eastern trains, which has been
caused By the storm, is now arriving at
San Francisco, over the Central Pacific
railroad. Between Sacramento and
Ogden the trains made regular time
throughout the storm.
The Fisk tragedy has excited consid-
erable sensation in this city, where
Mrs Mansfield formerly resided. The
San Francisco Chronicle, commenting
on the affair, concludes its review ol
the tragedy as follows: Fisk died as
he had lived, the centre of the sensations
OF the hour"

Mr.. Potter said he did not see tn

Mr.. Potter said he did not see the
necessity of legislation on the subject
of coinage, when the country had no
coinage in circulation for the last ten
wears, and was not likely to have it for
ten years to come.
The House then proceeded to con-
slider the bill by sections for amend
ment, in committee of the Whole,
Mr.. Cox in the chair.
Mr.. Maynard moved to amend the
first section, which provides for the
appointment OF Director Of the Mint,
by striking out the words who shall
hold his office for the term OF five
years, unless sooner removed by the
President, upon reasons to be commu-
nicated to the Senate" He argued that
the term Of the office should not be
limited to five years, and the office then
thrown open to a general scramble.
Mr.. Garfield opposed the amendment;
He spoke OF the report on the civil
service reform as proposing only to take
care OF the front door by which sP-
pointments are to be made while it left
the back door for removals wide open.
This bill proposed to close the back
door as respects the office in question,
and he therefore was opposed to the
amendments, the effect OF which would
he to open it.
Several amendments were offered to
the bill reported by MI. Kelly for revising
the laws in relation to the mint assay
Office and coinage, but none were
adopted. The debate continued till
3:45 P. NJ. when. without final action
on the bill, the House adjourned.

course the Commodore soon grew tired
OF fighting against such odds, and the
rates were again raised to those Of the
Erie. Fisk cleared 100000 BY this
transaction, direct from the Central.
But this was not the full extent OF the
damage done the Commodore. When
the Central was blocked with Fisks
10000 head OF cattle, the Erie was open
and carrying freight at its own rates.
LEGAL SHARP PRACTICE.
Fisk appeared to be utterly reckless
in his conduct toward his oppouenls;
but it was only in appearance. He
was really sharper than the best OF hls
legal advisers. When the great Erie
litigation was at its heighth it was
stated that the Erie officers were
watering" the stock o: the road-that
is, issuing extra certificates Of stock TO
an unlimited extent. The Vanderbilt
interest in the suit obtained an injunc
ton from Judge Balcomb restraining
the President, Vice President, Secretary
and Treasurer OF the Erie Railway Com
pany from signing the certificates OF
stock which were ready for issuance.
This was damper on the hopes Of
Fisk and his colleagues; but the cuu-
ming Vice President soon discovered a
way of deliverancc Fisk got his coan.
sci to Get out a legal document which
would have the effect Of compelling him
(Fisk) and the other officers OF the
road to do their duty. And he directed
it TO be done, and il was done, in this
manner Application was made TO
Judge Gilbert, in Brooklyn. on behalf
Of the directors OF the Erie Railway
Com pany. for an order restraining the
officers of the company from refusing
TO do their duty. Judge Gilbert issued
the order. 1t was something new ia
law and was called
"a MANDATORY INJUNCTION
Armed with this document some OF
the directors went TO the officers OF the
road. and demanded that they imme.
distely Sign the certificates OF stock
which were prepared, Jay Gould,
James Fisk, and the other officers were
thus forced TO do otheir duty as required
by law. Before the Vanderbilt people
realized the situation and got ont an.
other Injunction, $l0000,000 OF certif.
Gates OF stock were signed and issued.
But the bright side OF the character
OF the deceased is more pleasant 70
dwell on, especially at this time.

The situation with Spain.

Senor Roberts, the present Spanish
Minister, and the appointment Of
Admiral Polo to the position. has been
received at the State Department.
The significance of this change is
much Disputed in official circles. 1t is
intimated at the State Department that
the new appointment does not neces-
sarily mean q change in the Spanish
policy, or express any threat 80 ar as
the home government is concerned.
On the other hand, members of the
Administration express the opinion
that it is unfortunate the change was
made at this present jnncture, as il can
not help embarrassing both govern
ments in their dealings with each other
in view Of the existing delicate rela-
tons. 8.

insinuates that the following bit Of
correspondence recently passed between
the new Republican State Engineer and
his son. The father had the natural
Radical wish to provide for his boy,
and resolved to make him his chief
clerk; but being blest with more
delicacy than his President, he decided
to hide the paternal relationship in
the labyrinthine lines Of official
formality. Accordingly he writes:
Ny DEAR SIR: have received your
application for appointment as chief
clerk in nv department. / have made
dilligent inquiries as to your antece-
dents, your character, and your qualifi-
tons, and finding them satisfactory, /
have concluded to give you the place

replies as follows
SIR: Your favor Of the let instant

gence which il conveys gratites me

duties shall endeavor to win your
confidence and esteem. As you become
better acquainted with me personally.

Singular Discovery OF an Old Mason.
tc Relic.

As Mr.. James knight, the Deputy
Sheriff Of this county, was passing
through Cumberland, Maryland, on his
return tripto Moundsville, W. Va, he
was handed an old seal Of Greenbrier
Lodge No 40, by H. c. Hodgson, Esq.,
editor of the Morgan Mercury. Mr..
Hodgson states that he saw boy with
it on the street, and purchased il OF him
for the sum OF five cents. This old relic
is supposed to be the first seal OF the
Lodge, which was constituted in the
wear 1876. 1t is made Of copper, is
about one and one.tourth inches in d.
ameter, and has engraved on its face,
Greenbrier Lodge No 40. Sit Lur ct

and other Masonic emblems. The
oldest member OF this Lodge, Mr.. John
II. Wetzel, OF this place, says he thinks
this seal has been lost more than thirty
years; that he has never seen it before,
and that it must have been lost before
he WAS made Mason

old relic through all its peregrinatious
since it left its old home and have its
full history. Can any one give US any
light on the subject t?-Grecn5risr Ind.
