SAN FRANCISCO, October 14th.-At
the Grand Lodge of f. & A. M. to-day
Past Grand Master English, from the
Committee on Grievances, submitted
his report on four appeal cases which
had come up from subordinate lodges,
and in each case recommended that
they be referred back because of infor-
malities. The recommendation was
concurred in.
j. G. Mcclellan and David Richards,
members of Gravel Range lodge and
Mount Moriah lodge, who were eX-
PEELED some years age, were reinstated
at the request of the lodges of which
they were formerly members, their
conduct since expulsion having been
exemplary and the offenses for which
they were expelled being trivial.
An amendment to the constitution
was proposed by the representative of
Santa Barbara lodge. The amendment
reads: "NVhen Master Mason applies
for membership to q lodge, and files
his demit, the usual ballot shall take
place, when If no more than three
black balls shall appear, the Master
shall not announce the result, but shall
postpone further proceedings for thirty
days; the persons casting black balls
shall make known their reasons there
for to the Master, who at the next
meeting of the lodge shall report the
same to the lodge, when another bal
lot shall be had, and il no more than
three black balls appear the candidate
shall be declared elected"
The proposed amendment was re-
ferred to the Committee on Jurispru-
dence.
A resolution providing for the Grand
Lecturer to visit and lecture in every
lodge in the jurisdiction during the
year was offered and referred to a COM
mittee.
The special committee to whom was
referred the Grand Lecturers report,
recommended that the Grand Lecturer
issue no certificate to Inspectors until
they present certificate from the
Grand Lecturer of their proficiency in
the work. The matter was referred to
a special committee composed of 20
Inspectors within the jurisdiction.
There being no further business ready,
the Grand Lodge was called off until
one o'clock this afternoon. The Grand
Orator will deliver his Grafton at three
O'clock.
The manager of the Grangers' Bank,
Mr.. Cressy, furnishe, the following
statement of affairs for the year end
ing September 1st, 1875: Authorized
capital, S5,OOO,OOO, divided into $4,000
shares of 500 each; number of stock
holders, 1,57S; number of shares SUBJ
scribed, 56,172; capital paid up $497,-
420; number of current accounts, 256;
amount of commercial deposits, $780,
494, 100; amount of rates discounted,
Sl10,047 ,440; amount of earnings and
interest, $56,761. The rumor which
was current some days ago that po-
litical clique was endeavoring to get
control of the Bank is not believed to
have had any foundation in fact. 1t
served good purpose, however, and
that was to bring out full force of the
shareholders. 1t had been reported
that the clique had secured many
proxies from the country stockholders,
and it was to offset these imaginary
proxies that the general outpouring Of
Changers was brought out. The Gran
gers in all their different organizations
SEEM to be upon the high tide Of sue
cess.
A movement is now on foot to OBJ
tain q pardon for the we'll known
forgers, the Brothertons, and their ac-
complice, Howard, who have now
been in San Quentin three years of the
fourteen for which they were sem
fenced. Several of the leading law
yers are of the opinion that their pun
ishment was too rigorous, and the ma
jority of those who served on the jury
which convicted them at the time are
of the same mind. 1t is said that Geo.
G. Hickox, of Hickox & Spear, who
were victims of their forgeries, will
strenuously oppose all efforts to obtain
a pardon for the convicts at present.
The Perasich Brothers Attempt to
Waylay Ashim.
CARSON, Nev., Oct. 14.-This morn
ing a determined attempt was made
by the Perasich brothers to obtain ven-
geance on young Ashim, the man who
killed their brother Nick at Coso, some
months ago. Ashim arrived here last
evening on his way to Panamint to
stand his trial for the homicide in
question. 1t is understood that the
young man had received threats from
the Perasichs. Early this morning the
Perasich brothers were stirring, and it
having been intimated to the officers
that the clerk at the Ormsby House,
where the stage starts from, had notic-
ed something unusual, Ashim was got
0ffin private conveyance u short
time before the stage started. The
Perasichs, not knowing this, went out
ahead of the stage, which contained
both male and female passengers.
Elias, one of the brothers, hid him
self among some cornstalks by the
road side, near McGardner's residence
and on the approach of the stage, he
rushed into the road and demanded
the stoppage of the stage, at the same
time firing his pistol at the stage.
The driver, having enough to do in
caring for his six horses, urged them
on at their best speed. Fortunately no
one was injured. Two of the brothers
were arrested, and Elias was held to
answer in the sum of $4,000.
