But while that may be the ease, there can be arguments deduced from thesame figures that would be as convincing to the friends of the law in favor’ of its passage. That so much money is invested ia bnsiness, and™that se much is annually expended by the people for a thing whichdoes no good, and is acknowledged to do much harm, is a stunning argument. in favor of lessening the expenditure and the evil. So far as the passage . of the law in San Francisco is converned, there ia but little danger of it, for there is:too much power and influence opposed to it. The defeat -of the law, however, will not depend -uponthe injury it would work to the interests 6f.those engaged in the business, so much.as in the love of dissipation and revelry possessed by the residents of that city. There is too much money-gathered in from country customers who make a raise, and gu there to squander it, to make many-of the business men favor the ~ measure. The law may be put in force in other places, but we believe it will never be in San Franciseg. \ of Giant Powder Accident. * At Graniteville, or Eureka South, ‘situated in the upper part of this county, a serious accident happened yesterday morning, Stephen Fowler, a former resident of this place, had occasion to cuta cartridge of Giant Powder, and to do so he nsed an axe.

His left hand was torn from the wrist, leaving only the little finger bunging by the skin. His left knee cap was injured by a pieve of gravel or stone striking it and going through.it, and it is probable that both eyes are so. injured that he will entirely lose his “ssight, ‘There are some other and slight bruises about the legs and face. His injuries are not necessirily fatal, theugh they are very severe, The pow which exploded __ was of the kind known ‘as “Number Two."
