san Francisco EXcited-The Atmosphere
Affected by 4 Fire in Marin County.

! SAN FRANcfsoo, September 18th About
sunset q heavy volume Of smoke from the
Marin county brush fire began to foat over
| the city, and the peculiar atmospheric effect
created no little excitement on the street,
people being ignorant of the cause, and some
attributed it unthinkingly to some peculiar
meteorological condition. Prophecies of
earthquakes were flying about the streets,
which gained strength from the oppressive
! sultfiness of the weather during the day. A
dense mantle of smoke soon spread over the
city, and illumined by the rays Of the declin-
ing sun, enveloped the heavens in a rudy
glare of reflected light. The streets were
filed with crowds gazing at the strange APP
pearance, and conjecture ran Wild until Che
probable cause began to make itself manifest
by light shower of ashes and ciuders, which
turned the thoughts OF the spectators 10 the
right direction.
SECOND DIsPATCHl
SAN RAFAEL, September 14th.-The FIRE
fend has again paid this end Of the county q
visit This forenoon Thomas Collins and
William Pixley, brother of Frank PiXley,
OF San Francisco, were grubbing brush from
around their houses in Baltimore gulcb, at
the base Of Mount Tamalpais, when Pixley
came to e clump of poisoned oak, mixed in
with blackberry vines, and concluded that
the best way to get rid Of it was TO barn it
out. He set it on fire, and had scarcely
touched the match to it when the fire seemed
to spring with lightning speed up the gulch
toward Mount Tamalpais. Then the wind
changed. and it crossed over and came down
to Kings ranch. and stopped right at his
barn. Then the wind changed again,
and the fire took the direction towards
SanceIito, taking the underbrush, dry grass
and fences. How the houses and barns es-
capped is mystery. Browns new and old
homes, Frank Pixl5y's country residences.
McCue's house and stable. and the school
house, were surrounded by FIRE, and it looked
at one time, as if all would go. The fire is
still raging. and going in the direction of Dr..
Cushing's. The railroad company sent
special fire train from here at 1880. having
sixtyGv good iremen aboad, under the able
management of General Passenger Agent
Price. The railroad company had their new
depot at Corte MADEIRA, and about 200 yards
of fence burned, and had 1t not been for the
timely aid of thu fire train the bridge ada
cent TO the depot would have been destroyed,
and the end is not yet. Pixley has not been
seen since the FIRE started this morning, and
it is feared that he has persisted in the flames.
The extent of the burnt district, so far as
can be judged, is about three miles wide by
seven miles long.

1t APPEARS that Brady, of Star ser

than MIR. Hayes and sll the late Ad

claimed that they knew OF his THEY

Hayes made loud profession of hon.
esty and reform. A year or more
ago the New York Times and other
journals deliberately exposed tine
swindling in the Star route mail
service, and showed that Brady was
deeply implicated in the crooked bust
ness; but the willy auditor defed bic

to insolently insult Congress. MIR.

Brady,s BAD Business.

Chicago, 22.-JouTndpSsW ashing-
ton: The Post characteriZes the
statement about Gen. Brady being
mixed up wrongfully with the Star
route contracts as purely sensa-
tional, and says his resignation was
asked by the President as favor t.
him, and was not based upon de-
velopments or as the result of any
investigation. POstmaster-General
James disaYOws any agency in the
movement which led to BTady's
resignation.
New York, 22.-IimeS The plain
story elsewhere published, of the
manipulation of mail route contracts
between Mineral Park, A. r., and
Phoebe, New, furnishes an excellent
illustration of the postoffice mapage-
ment which Congress attempted TO
whitewash and Hayes was presumed
to overlook. A contract is made
for a weekly conveyance of mails
consisting of about three letters a
week between the two points
named. The original contractors
sub-let their contract, which they
accepted at $4,000 to a person to
whom they agree to pay S4,700 or
81, 800 more than government allows
them. The reason of this hberality
becomes apparent when the post
Office ring in Washington succeeded
in having the service made in weekly
and in getting the compensation in
creased to $22,30O. OF this latter
sum the sub-contractor gets only
$4,000. Not satisfied with their
share of $4,000 year, the cOnspira-
tors succeeded in establishing
daily mail service between
Mineral Park and Phoebe at
an annual sum of $4,000. of
which the sub-contractOr received
but $4,000. By this time the ORR
ginal contractors have made way
for J. w. Dorsey, thus securing
$4,000 a year for his own profit and
that of his cOnfederateS. The story
is eloquent enough to dispense with
the necessity of comment. The
Times intimates that other retire
ments will probably follow Brady's,
as result of the investigation now
going on. II is possible that the
ring within the department, with
its probable allies in the treasury,
may have steered clear Of any offense
of which cogniZance could be taken
by the courts. But if nobody can be
sent to the penitentiary, there should
at least be no difficulty in prose-
cutting to a successful issue suits for
the restitution of moneys secured
by obvious collision and conspiracy.
The Tribune is editorially silent
ON the subject.

SOME OF the republican eenators are
coming to their senses in regard to
the deadlock. They ses that their
party, and not the democrats, must
suffer the responsibility for the foolish
contest which is delaying public bust
ness and embarrassing the executive
departments Of government; and are
trying to break the deadlock so as TO
act upon the more important nomi-
nations. Meantime, the democrats
are quietly chuckline over the situa-
ton, knowing as they DO that the adj
vantages are all on their eide. 1t liz
probable some executive sessions will
be held next week, which may open
the fight between the OonkIing in-
terests and the Garfield faction.

THE TROUBLE with the Admins
tration at Washington Is thickeDing.
On of these days, and not far hence,
it must culminale in q disruption OF
the cabinet, if not a broad split in
the republican party. No president
can prosper with so ipharmonious
cabinet as Gsrfield's seems to be, sno
a breakup 30 early in presidential
term is certain to prove disastrous
to the executives political
prospects. The conviction is becom-
ing frmer daily, in the minds Of
republicans and democrats, that
General Garfield has been wonder
fully overrated in the matter of ex
ecutive ability. Il is getting to be
painfully apparent that he is too
small to ever become a great presi-
dent, hence the disappointment that
friends and enemies are beginning to
feel.
