The damage done by the storm throughout

by flood and field, Of travel on the railroads
impeded and the destruction of both private

nately, so far as reported, has not been great
But one accident has happened in Chesapeake

Along the line Of the Baltimore aud Ohio rail-
road has been particularly severe The rivers
have risen to an unprecedented height, tele-
graph wires have been blown down, bridges
carried away OF weakened aud the Inhabitants
of towns aud villages along the line compelled
10 abandon their homes.
The storm has also been very violent in the
whole State of Virginia. The railroads are
heavy sufferers Everything along The course
Of the rivers was swept away. The gas works
ia Dannyile and Richmond have been sub
merged, leaving both cities in total darkness
On account Of delays in the mail and prostra-
ton of telegraph wires, the accounts furnished
are necessarily meagre, but when the full ex-
tent Of the damage is known, the storm will
be found to have been most disastrous.

CISION.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The discussion of the
relative Jurisdictions Of the Committees on Com
merce and on Railroads and Canals, which has oc-
cupied the attention Of the House for the greater
part of two DAYS was closed this afternoon. Inc
whole subject was referred to the Committee on
Rules.
The controversy originated in a desire on the
part of the chairman and members OF the Commit
tee on Railroads and Canals TO make that committee
ono of the important ones of the House. In the last
and many previous CongreSsc5 no business o. gen
era interest was referred 10 this committee ana the
only excuse il has had for existence was that II 1u
nisbed q craftsmanship for some member of the
majority in the House, and enabled MN 10 employ
clerk at the expense Of the Government. Besides
tti. the Improvement of rivers and harbOrs is a sub
ect the consideration of which brings the members
of the committee having charge of 1t into direct
communication with the people Of all sections OF the
country. and gives them an opportunity to gam
some popularity in these districts where the larger
appropriations are expended
The rules give to the Commerce Committee luris-
dcton over all subjects relating to commerce, and
give the Committee on Railroads and Canals juris-
lictiOn of all bills, petitions resolutions ETC., re-
llting to railroads and canals and the Improvement
of MYERS. The Interpretation of these two rules
made 10y the practice of the House, has been that the
Improvement OF rivers came under the head 81 pro-
noting commerce between the States and therefore
all bills relating 90 this subject belonged to the
Commerce Committee. Many of the Democrats
