certainly a varied one. The pantomime
was excruciatingly funny ; the dancing
excellent; gymnastics first-rate ; ven
triloquism admirable; hat spinning

exercising a fostering care over the
great interests of the Association. They
furnish a means of communication be

no authority or control over any. They
are simply helpful and nourishing. In
furtherance of one of their leading ob
jects, they have projected a tour of the
South by Messrs G. A. Hall and T. K.
Cree, of Washington, gentlemen whom
they commend as admirably fitted for
the work. This was done in answer to
invitations from the Virginia State
Committee and the Augusta Associa
tion—the gentlemen named traveling
free of cost to those visited. As these
gentlemen are now in Augusta, and ex
pect soon to extend their tour to differ

them to say that their visit here has
been highly appreciated by the Y. M.

THE AUGUSTA RACES.
First Day of the Spring Meeting of
the Jockey Club.
Quite a large number of people were
at the Fair Grounds yesterday, to wit
ness the opening races of the Spring
meeting of the Augusta Jockey Club,
but the attendance did not approxi
mate that anticipated for to-day. All
those present seemed deeply interested
in the sport.
The course, which has been changed
from a half mile to a mile track, in the
form of the figure 8, has been highly
improved by the lessees, Messrs. Bacon
& Jones, and is now in first class order.
With the present prospects of fine
weather, splendid horses to run, and
reduced rates of admission to the
grounds, the Spring meeting will prove
a success.
The following is the record of the
races yesterday:
first race.
One mile dash for 3 year olds. The
following were the entries, each horse
named starting :
Maj. T. G. Bacon enters ch. c. Main
sail.
Barton, Wilson & Cos., enter br. c.
Denver.
Dr. Weldon & Son enter ch. c. War
fare.
Mr. Gordon, enters b. c. Gothe.
L. A. Hitchcock enters b. c. Bay
Line.
The horses got away at a moderate
start, but changed their positions in
going on the first quarter. When they
appeared from behind Mechanics Hall
Gothe was leading, with Mainsail and
Warefare in close attendance. Going
down the back stretch Denver moved
up and got the third place. Going
around the turn, he bettered his posi
tion and was the first to show in the
home stretch, Mainsail second, War
fare third, Gothe fourth, Bay Line
fifth. They finished this most inter
esting race in these positions. Time,
1:49%.
SECOND RACE.
In this race the following were the
entries, each horse named starting:
J. H. Morgan enters b. c. Crown
Prince.
T. G. Bacon enters ch. m. Flower
Girl.
L. A. Hitchcock enters ch. f. Busy
Bee.
Mr. Gordon enters ch. c. Valentine.
Valentine led at the tap of the
drum to the first quarter. Crown
Prince then took the lead (Vatentine
dropping behind), and was not after
ward headed—then Flower Girl 2d,
Busy Bee 3d, and Valentine 4th—
which positions were kept to the end
of the race. Time, 3:43%.

The Club decided to make the price
of admission to the grounds for gentle
men, 50 cents each. Quarter stretch
badges admitting to all the privileges
of a member of the club, $3 per day—
slo for the week.
A change of time for the commence

instead of 2 o’clock, p. m.
The Club adjourned until 8 o’clock
to-night.
POOLS SOLD.
The sale of pools was continued last
night at the Augusta Hotel by Messrs.
Hitchcock, Barton and Medinger with
the following result:
The pools rated as follows :

After three or four pools had been
sold, Mattie O. ranged as second choice,
and then Mollie Darling advanced
again to second choice, which position
she held until the close of the pool
selling at 10:30 p. m.
The betting on this race was more
spirited than at any time during either
the Charleston or Savannah races.

From St. Louis to the Seaboard.
Reading leading papers of St. Louis,
one' cannot but be struck with the
great interest manifested in the estab
lishment of lines of transportation to
the seaboard for the rich products of
the fine country of which it is the trade
centre. Constant efforts are being
made to extend her trade, not only in
Europe, but to South America, and
every facility for transporting grain
and other staple products at the low
est rates to a deep water port, is seized
upon with avidity by her leading men.
It is well-known that St. Louis is the
centre of the richest region of the
great West for commerce. Even with
the present established routes to the
seaboard, she needs another and
shorter one, taking less time, to a deep
water harbor. The New Orleans route
is just now the most available, but
vessels drawing more than 17 or 18
feet of water, cannnot float up con
veniently in that harbor.
ggMobile is making a strong effort to
establish an outlet for this great West-,
ern trade. It is proposed to build a
railroad 30 miles over water to Dau
phin Island, in the bay, to obtain a
depth of 20 feet of water for vessels
drawing that amount, and establish a
direct steamship line to Liverpool and
South America, by which transporta
tion can be afforded at a lower rate
than via New Orleans.
We are sure, with the lights before
us, and of which we propose to speak,
that the route through Augusta via
the Georgia Railroad, to the seaboard,
can successfully compete with either
of those which St. Louis now has, con
sidering them all, that through Balti
more—the proposed route through
Mobile, and the established routes
through New Orleans and Galveston.
We can, if we would only do so,
offer superior advantages in every way,
a shorter line and equal freight rates,
with harbors in which vessels of heavy
tonnage can come up to the wharves
Charleston, Port Royal or Savannah,
(the deepest being from 25 to 30 feet.)
Now when we can offer such advan
tages is it not worth an effort on the
part of our railroads to establish a
route through Augusta to these ports ?
When we get in large amounts of cot
ton we think we are doing well, but
when there is a small crop we have
nothing to fall back on as in the case
of other roads.
Take for instance the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, which was largely de
pendant on the transportation of coal
for freights. The shipments of coal
over that road in 1873 were over one
and three quarter millions tons, labile
in 1874 there was a decrease of 241,000
tons. Notwithstanding the general re
striction though, on business through
out the country, the tonnage in all other
branches of trade increased; and al
though the strong competition for the
limited business to be obtained caused
freight to be transported at unusually
low rates, tiie increased traffic secured
by the company enabled it to maintain
its revenues.
Our railroads should make the same
effort to diversify their business and
not remain dependant on cotton as the
main freight. With the railroads doing
a full business there would be activity
otherwise. Our workshops would be
working on full time and our mechanics
receiving the full value of their servi
ces. Being consumers they would buy
goods, which would benefit our mer
chants, besides all other classes, indi
rectly.
We even now learn that the Illinois
Central Railroad, east of St. Louis, is
about to establish, in connection with
the New Orleans and Great Northern
Road, a steamship line from New Or
leans to Liverpool for the benefit of
Chicago. In this connection we give
the rates of freight as they now
stand :
From Chicago to Liverpool, via New
York, including transfer charges,
marine insurance, &c., 51 cents, 7 mills.
From St. Louis to Liverpool, via
New Orleans, 47 cents, 3 mills.
Mobile proposes to make the rate
less if connection is there made. If the
route through Augusta, via the Geor
gia Railroad, can offer as low rates as
any of the other routes is it not reason
able to suppose that a larger amount
of freight could be induced to come
this way, especially when deep water
harbors are offered as a greater ad
vantage ?
A great effort is now being made to
establish a direct trade in all Western
products with Brazil and other por
tions of South America, and St. Louis
expects to send a prominent ana ef
ficient business man to that section to
carry out the project. Richmond, Va. t
now has eighteen vessels in the South
American trade, and week before last
she shipped 15,000 barrels of flour to
that section. St. Louis wants some of
this trade, and not only this, but in
creased trade with Europe, as evi
denced by “the shipment since January
Ist, 1875, of flour to Liverpool—say,
200,000 barrels, against 137,000 same
time last year. This gain is a very re
spectable one, in view of the very dull
times in the general flour trade, and is
wholly due to the exportation of flour
to Liverpool, which has spruDg up in
St. Louis via Baltimore. Just what
the dimensions of this flour trade may
grow to no one can now tell, but it is
pretty sure that we have not reached
the end of it,” as the St. Louis Demo
crat says.
Now, why cannot the railroads of
this section get a slice of this ? And
not only a slice, but a large proportion ?
St. Louis is burdened for new outlets
of trade, and we can most surely com
pete with other routes successfully.
We commend the points given to the
attention of all concerned, feeling con
fident that they will receive due con
sideration. We hope to speak further
on the matter at at an early day, and
give figures. •

The Port Koyal Railroad Difficulty.
The employes of the Port Royal
Railroad Company, in Augusta, who
had decided to quu- ..oriv Monday, un
less paid, concluded to return to work
yesterday morning, but the legal pro
ceedings instituted to recover the
amounts due were carried out, H. Clay
Foster, Esq., acting as their attorney.
The facts in the case, as far as we
can sift them, appear to be that the
hands employed on the road have not
received any pay since December, the
last payment being made about a week
after the pay day of that month. It is
contended that wages for two months
and a half were due up to the 15th of
February.
Monday morning, a committee*of the
workmen employed by the company
waited on Maj. T. P. Branch, President,
at his office at the Merchants and
Planters National Bank and asked for
their pay, when they were met with a
rebuff. They informed the President,
as we are told, that they actually need
ed the money, and unless they were
paid it would be necessary to take
legal measures to get it, and they were
resolved not to continue work unless
they were paid. Some rathei rough
remarks passed, and the men then
went to the office of Mr. Foster, for the
purpose of consultation. Maj. Branch
had told them when they first appear
ed at the bank that he did not know
them, and asked who they were, when
they replied that they were employes
of the Port Royal Railroad. He said
they were not—that they were dis
charged from its employment. These
are the facts reported to us by the
men.
They decided to quit work entirely
but a compromise was offered Monday
evening—the President offering to pay
them the amount on hand in the
treasury, and also the daily receipts at
the Augusta agency until their ciaims
were satisfied, besides costs and attor
neys fees. It was thought at one time
that all the men would accept the
compromise, but yesterday, although
all but three of them* went to work
again, liens were made out against the
road preparatory to foreclosure, aud
signed by about 30 of the men—the
amount involved being about $4,300.
Yesterday morning the locomotive
R. G. Robbins, No. 8, which was to
carry out the night passenger train, was
levied on, but repleived, bond being
given for its being forthcoming when
desired.
It is probable the difficulties will be
settled very soon and matters again
move on smoothly.
Free Lance Items.

Yesterday afternoon Mr. Thomas
Coyle was thrown from his buggy as ho
was driving a small mule attached to
it and made a sudden turn at the cor
ner of Broad and Jackson streets. He
fell on his head and was considerably
stunned by the fall.
In the Court of Ordinary, Judge
Levy presiding, the wills of John
Cashin and Mrs. Mary Spears were

At the Fair Gvou ds yesterday after
noon, after the races, a foot race of
half a mile was improvised among the
colored urchins, when about a dozen
started, the stake being $1.25. The
winner was Emanuel Jones.

While the races are creating some
excitement in our city, the following
record of the best public performances
of race horses on the American turf
will be found of great interest, as well
as importance, to those who are in the
habit of referring to such matters. It
embraces all distances from half a mile
to four miles, and includes the official
time from Lexington’s performance
over the Metairie track, in 1855, to the
latest of the present year’s running,

Municipal Taxation.
The following is a copy of the peti
tion of citizens to the Legislature ask
ing that the city of Augusta shall not
be exempted from the operations of
the law regulating municipal taxation ;
We, the citizens of Augusta, respect
fully petition the General Assembly of
the State of Georgia, now in session,
that it does not except this city from
the general tax law, and we humbly
protest against your authorizing thq,
City Council of this city assessing taxe3
as they may think proper ad libitum.
The bonded debt of this city is now
one million eight hundred thousand
dollars, and it behooves us to come
back to economy— rigid -economy—as,
any other policy will only result in
bankruptcy and dishonor.
We trust that your respected bodies
will see the reasonableness of our peti
tion, for, to allow a City Council to
levy taxes as it may think proper, is
false in theory and most hazardous in
practice. The rapid increase of the
bonded debt of this city in the past few
years demonstrates conclusively that
the power to levy taxes should not be
entrusted to City Councils, and we,
the tay-payers, humbly protest against
any such authority being confided to
to the Council of this city, and we in
sist that the statute stand as it is now,
and this city be not made an exception
to the general law. (Signed)

THE EVIDENCE presented In the statements of the rospectable and intelligent plant
ers of the surrounding counties will satisfy Southern men that this COVCF \ i u a.
TED CHEMICAL FERTILIZER may claim to oo equal, if not superior to any in the
market; that being composed of a base of raw- xme, decomposed with Sulphuric Acii
and a combination of Chemicals, it is devoid of the enormous amount of inert matter
which all Phosphate Rock preparations must contain; and that it presents the best
guarantee of a large profitable return, as testified to by all who have used it We refer
to our Pamphlets for this evidence, as it is too voluminous for our advertisement The
preparation is varied in composition to meet the condition of the two great classes of
qur soils:
Our G. FERTILIZER adsipted to Clay Soils.
Our G. FERTILIZER adapted to Sandy Soils.
