clemency to him, as he deserved. Night
before last, however, Sheriff Davey came
to him and told him that the Monroe
county Democrats had raised 30 much
opposition, that he would not be al
lowed to let Hughes see any more of his
friends, and should have to treat him as
an ordinary malefactor. Hughes says
counsel to make an application for ap-

He is sorry to think the Democratic
managers in Monroe county forced
him into this extreme position,
but in taking it he is satisfied
he took the only course left him, to
justly rebel against any oppression or
contemplate means being used by any
body, be they Democrats or Republicans.
Sheriff Davey told him, he asserts, that
the Democratic managers would COM
plain to Governor Flower and attempt
to have his commission as sheriff re-
voked because he was courteous enough
to show Hughes the consideration he
deserved.

Contractors Begin Work ON the Big
Tunnels.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-Camps have
been established and work actually been
commenced on the connecting link Of
the Coast road, which is to complete the
second transcontinental line into this
city, via Los Angeles and Sauons. con-
troled by the Southern Pacific comnanv.
The contract was let to George Stone K
Co. of this city for the first 16 miles from
Santa Margarita south to San Luis Obis-
DO, on October 18th. This is the verv
heaviest work, and involves the OUTLAY
of 81 100000. The entire distance from
Santa Margarita to the southern extreme
ity of the Coast division, down to El-
wood on the Ventura division, via San
Luis Obispo, Is 128 miles, and from
Santa Margarita to San Luis Obispo, is
l6 miles. In the latter short section
there are no less than seven
tunnels, aggregating 5000 feet in
length, which must be cut through
solid rock. The largest tunnel
at the summit of the coast range will be
3IO0 feet long, and commences three
miles south OF Santa Margarita. It is
Tor this heavy tunneling that the largest
outlay will be required. When once the
tunnels are finished the remaining 112
miles Will be easily and rapidly finished,
80 that nothing will be done on that part
OF the work until the drilling OF the
mountains is nearly completed. It is
estimated that about Is months will be
required to carry out the contract. In
the whole l6 miles there are no bridges.
and the culverts have all been put in by
the Southern Pacific company. AS the
