The New York Tribune of Jan. &c
takes this view of the agitation" in
San Francisco: These San Francisco
communists are the fercest kind of
reformers. They want malfeasance
in office to be punished by imprison
ment for life, with no possibility for
pardon. They want all bloated bond
holders who have more than square
mile of land to be restricted hereafter
to that amount. They want the cleo
toral colleges abolished; Chinese cheap
labor abolished; the pardoning power
abolished; but the sacred right to or
ganize riots maintained and pretty
much everybody legislated to pieces,
but the workingmen Of San Francisco.
1t follows, without saying it, that
these gentlemen believe that the d.
vine law of labor prescribes eight
hours day, and that no working man
should profane his brow with more
than genteel perspiration.

bales of cotton that now 80 elsewhere.
Many place the estimate much higher,
some as high as $4,000, but it is certain
that il will not fall below the figures first
named. Tie amount of money lett IN

storage, charges, ETC., on account OF inc. Z
%. 900 bales will be 500, 900. Placing the
average price at fifty dollars per pare,
we have 81, $50. 600 as the value OF inc

this, or about, $4l4,O0O, will be spent here:
Estimating the average profits on safes OF
MERCHANDISE at ten per cent, we have
over $40, 900 rs the net amount le1t III Au-
rusta from this source. Adding this to
the $50, 0OO, storage, commissions, etc.,
we have S1O0. 900 as the annual net gain
to Augusta from cotton alone. AS the
cost Of the grading of the road to wal
toms Island and building of the bridge
across the Savannah river Will not DC
more than SIS, 900, it is apparent that inc
net profits to Augusta from the receipts
of cotton alone by the road, in one year,
will more than pay the entire cost OF inc
road to the citizens. But this is not an.
We have made our calculations on the
basis of cotton receipts only. 1t is rea-
sonable to expect that a larg &c quantity OF
other produce will be shipped t Augusta
from the fertile country through which
the road will pass, this adding largely TO
the trade of the city. The business OF
the road will increase year by year, for it
is evident that branch roads will be oullt
by the people of the section CONTIGUOUS 10
that through which it passes in order
that they, too, may enjoy its benefits.
Already a road from Anderson to Dorn's
Mines, where it will tap the Augusta,
Knoxville and Greenwood Railroad, is
in contemplation.

to Greenwood, a distance of about sixty
miles, will probably be the cheapest VIDE

Tact "Wednesday sheriff Jopec recnivei

Last Wednesday Sheriff Jones received
a letter from Governor Hampton in ref
erence to the convicts at the recent term
of the Court, which put a flea in that Of
icer's car. After that he lost no time in
making preparations to bring them back
from the stockade where he had put them
by Judge Mackey's order, and with q
wagon and several of our fellow citizens
set Off early the next morning to where
they were at work on the Greenwood
and Augusta Railroad, some fifteen miles
south Of Abbeville Court House. About
night the Sheriff and posse returned
with the five prisoners, who w~erecovered
with vermin and dirt. The next morn
ing just before they took their depart
urc by the train WI visited them in
their quarters at the Jail, and our con-
viction was that we never saw a more
delighted set of men in our life. They
had just come out of bath, and were
putting on an entire new suit Of cloth
ing which the Sheriff had kindly fur
nished G ,ch of them.
Elsy Chiles' wife was present in the
cell and helped him to look his best,
while Elsy's eyes were never whittier and
his face never appeared blacker.
At Hodges Depot when the Sheriff was
on the way to Columbia with the prison
ers one Beverly Vance came into the car
and was abusive to McGarvey. Mr..
Jones ordered Vance to leave the car and
not speak to the prisoners again. To this
Beverly Vance paid nc attention but kept
on talking until finally he threatened to
to spit in McGarvey's face. The Sheriff
then politely lead him to the car door, and
by a well-directed application of his foot
to the rear part of his anatomy lifted him
out on the platform.
