sNOWBANK AND FLOOD.
The Railroads in California Nov
Blocked by Solid Ice.

The Railroads in California Now
Blocked by Solid Ice.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 27.-The railroad
officials at Sacramento succeeded in having
communication for short time last night
with the Truckee Office. on the eastern slope
or the Sierra mountains, when it was
learned that the snow is sixteen feet deep on
the track between that place and the station
five miles west OF there. The late rains,
followed by freezing weather, had trans
formed this into ice, which will have to be
chopped out aud shoveled away by
hand. 1t is understood that the rail-
road company has endeavored 60
secure telegraphic communication with
Reno IN order that a few at least of the
west-bound trains that are there can be-
ordered back to Ogden and transferred to
the southern route. The situation remains
the same on the road to Ogden.
THE FLOOD.
The water in the streams and rivers of
California is receding, but in some places
slowly. From Colusa, in the western part
OF the Sacramento valley, reports come
that for twenty-five miles north and
south of there farms are covered with water
to depth of from two to six feet. The
loss throughout the state by the food can
not even be approximately estimated at
this time, but it seems certain that it will
not be as great as first stated The railroad
companies did splendid work yesterday in
getting the tracks leading out of this city
repaired. The main lines of the Southern
Pacific system are now open as far as Sac
ramento and to points Of equal distance in
the San joaquin valley.

Gen. St Clair Finishes His Argument
For the Democrats.
PITTsBURG, PA, Jan. pa Charleston,
w. Va, special says: 1.-THE gubernatorial
court met again this morning to listen to
the continuation and conclusion of
Gen. J. w. st. Clair's argument clos
ing the presentation of the contest before
the joint assembly. The first half of Gen.
st. Clair's speech was confined entirely to
the consideration of the contested votes in
the counties of Mercer and Mcdowell, he
taking up the cases individually and ex-
planning and defending the action Of the ma
jority of the committee. Ho was frequently
interrupted by Gen. Goff, and at times the
debate was spicy. The concluding portion
of his speech was Of political nature and
designed apparently to justify the contest
proceedings. The democrats hold that his
arguments are unanswerable. The repub-
licans, however, say the speech was simply
an apology for a wrong.

HoAR AS APEACE-MAKER.

Mr.. Hoar thought that in this case it was
not necessary to enter on that doubtful
ground Congress had among its obliga-
tions that of protecting the rights of
citizenship. He held that it was within
the constitutional powers of the Senate
to inquire into every transaction
that took place within the limits
of the country, with a view of ascertain
ing, not merely whether tine constitution
and laws gave adequate powers to the
United States TO secure the right Of citizen
ship, but also for the purpose of determin-
ing whether it was expedient, convenient
or necessary, to ask the people to enlarge
those powers. On that proposition he
rested the right to make an inquiry in that
case.
Mr. Wilson of Iowa in response to Mr..
Georges challenge, referred him to section
2, article ", of the constitution, in those
words: "Citizens of each state shall be
entitled teall the privileges and immuni-
ties of citizens of the several states"
REAGAN's ATTITUDE.
Mr.. Reagan condemned the outrage at
Aberdeen, but denied the right of the gov
ernment OF the United States to take iuris-
diction oft. He spoke of what the people of
Texas, and other southern states were doing
in the way of educatiol for the benefit of
the colored people, and said that IL sectional
agitation would cease, ana II the people OF
the south would be permitted to shape their
course to the interest of the
community, without having to guard
themselves from attacks from the
outside, there would be much
fewer occasions for violations of the law.
The people of the south, he said, ought to
give legal protection to the colored people,
and to secure to them all their rights; and
the people of the north ought not to use
the race problem as a football for sectional
agitation.
Mr.. George again took the floor, and the
resolution went over till tomorrow without
action.
Mr.. Butler said his colleague, Mr. Hamp-
ton who had been confined to his room last
week by illness, desired to address the Sen
ate on Thursday next on the bill to promote
the emigration of the colored people.
After session for the consideration OF
executive business, the Senate, at 4:30
o'clock, adjourned.
