On Wednesday evening the toilojying j correspondence passed between Comptrollei | General Verr.er, Secretary of the State j House Commission, and Assistant Archi | tect Sehmitz: Columbia, S. C., Jan. 4,1SS8. | Mr. E. J. Sehmitz, Assistant Architect State House, Columbia, S. G.: j Dear Sik: At a meeting of the Stat< j House Commission, held this day, I wa; | instructed to inform you-that your salarj j ceases this day as Assistant Architect. Yoi j will also dismiss the porter, and you aa< [requested to turn over the keys, etc., t< I the office. Very respectfully, J. S. Verxejr, C. G. and Sec'v. (Per W. Wiliiams.) I The following letter from 2>Ir. Scbmit: I wos addressed to the State House Commis | sion: Columbia, January 4. 1S8S. T<j the Honorable Commission: Gextlemek< Your letter of January 4 informing me of ray dismissal as Assistan Architect, received. As such summon dismissal might be construed as either re fleeting upon my competency or otherwi5< upon my'persona! character, your honora ble body is hereby respectfully but earn estiy requested to give your opinion upoi these two questions in writing to w. Being not aware of doing any imprope: action with which I could have been con nected, I have done this step only for self protection, and hope that you will do jus tice. Respectfully yours, E. J. ScflMITZ. TLq explanation of the matter is in ai probability this: By the terms of the reccz: supply bill the State House architect is re . quired to reside in Columbia. This Mr Xeilson cannot do, on account of his bus: ness in Baltimore. Somebody else wil have to be chosen, and, in the interim th< work lias been stopped, and the services o: ! Mr. Schmilz, incidentally and consequents are cot bow required. There is evidently no reflection upon 3Ir. Schmitz's integrity or competency implied in the dismissal. I is merely in accordance with the natural course of events, and any application tha Mr. Sclimitz has made, or will make, foi the position of Architect of the State House will be duly and properly considered.? Columbia Daily Record, Jan. 0. Mr. Carlisle's Con:irti:tcc*. Washington, D. C. January 5.?Speak er Carlisle's committees give very genera] satisfaction. There are, of course, some disappointments. This is usual. Even the political opponents of Mr. Carlisle praise liim for the care he has exorcised, and recognize his most earnest endeavors to not only satisfy those directly interested, but rencier the best possible satisfaction to the country. There were many coniiicting interests to j be considered in the formation of the com! mittees, and many members not only begged ! to be placed upon certain committees^ but refused in advance to serve if given assign! ments thev did not like, and which they I named. ! It is believed that Mr. Carlisle has acted i very wisely, in view of the policies of his t party, respecting tariff reform, appropria ! tfoui, pcnsioDS, financial matters, territorial 1 interests, railroad, educational, labor and i other problems, which are pressing Congress for action. The Speaker said tonight that he was j never more completely exhauated from his j word, and that he felt greatly relieved now ?that it was finished. Most of the committees will meet tomorrow and organize, by the selection of subcommittees, assignments of measures which have already been referred, and will appoint clerks, ete. Members of the Committee on Ways and Means say they believe that hearing will be granted on tar id' matters, and those' most interested will be given an opportunity to present arguments, verbally and written.

They make up four cities only. IT is un t 'erstood that Mobile, assisted by New Or- 3 eans, will make a fifth. Counting isn- v fiile and Chattanooga as probable memoers J Df the League, there would still be one va- I :-&ncy, which Atlanta, Montgomery, Au- 1 gusta or Savannah, or Augusta and Sa ran- . tiah together, might supply. Certainly one of these cities should understand the 1 advantages of base ball during the summer 1 season, when pleasure and rccreatic n is ! needed, and that there is no surer wa y of \ having a city's name so blazoned abroad in all the newspapers than in having in the League a strong base ball club. Binning- : ham and Memphis recognize the gam j as an effective means of advertisement. Atlanta seems very tardy and is engr ged in a childish contest between tbeGiudy and Stockdeil factions. Neither will ; >lay if the other is to have a hand in the gi me. Augusta and Savannah might settle the difficulty by combining to support a ? ood club playing half the games in cach < ity.

The lowest i price the Western Uuion now has is 25c. I for ten words, whereas the government i could carry twenty words at less price. It | now costs ?1 to telegraph from my home in Iowa to Boston, but the government can carry a message between the same points for 25c. For 10c. additional messages can be delivered to the person addressed; without this 10c. they will be put into the post oilicc box for nojhing." "How many employees would it add to the service?"

K Thriftlessness is uncommon among ai Gloucester fishermen; drunkenness is al- h lost unknown; harmless banter and bel- n wing and boasting are the nearest ap- ri roach to brawls. There is a tender- S i.eartedness among them that is remarka- c tie and almost pathetic. Many go away a hat never come back. "Stand here, if t< rou will, at Lhese crowded whams," ti T^if'shiir? p v rues v* v?w ^ ? Dispatch, "and watch the arrival and ue- j )arturc of fishing fleets, and if you have a ? leart you -will feel something heavy in 1 four throat." c The old mothers and fathers, the young t brothers and si ters. the v*ves aQd wee s ishers' children, are ali here, score on i score. They are trying to look brave as \ the vessels sail out. There are pride and 1 loyal valor in their faces all. They shout 1 and shout to the departing ones, who send it all back in good measure, every manner < of good cheer and sea lore for luck. As 1 the"schooners clear the liarl>or, out past i Ten Pound Island, some will run way i around the harbor edge, as if to keep com- : pany to the last. But those who stay, * leaning far out over the dark bulkheads, i look fixedly on and on until the white sails disappear behind cruel Korman's Woe, or siuk behind the horizon; and if you can see in their eyes as they at last turn to the little home spot for the weeks or months of dreary waiting there is unutterable sadness behind the quivering lids. Then, when the fleet returns, who can picture the gladness, the woe upon these century old wharves and slips'? They say that down at brave old Marblehead every third woman is a widow. And so the going and coming and going and never coming have woven a warp and woof of smiles and tears here which have mel lowed and sollened thousands 01 nurrtan hearts iQ a way you can see and feel. Your fisherman who comes and the wife, sweetheart or child that is here to greet him are o'er tender for it all. The old city is used to it, and does not mind it. It is the way its toilers of the sea have. And so, if you ever walk her streets and see a hulk of a fellow holding a happy woman as he would clutch a fife rail or a capstan-head in a heavy storm, you will know he is simply "making fast" with the strong hawser of an honest love to the very anchorage of his life, utterly unconscious of you or anybody's sense of the proprieties. And this tenderness, too, is all-compassing. There are many trusts and funds for the widows an:l fatherless, and these men give generously to them. On every week-day night the whole year through, when the seaport is stirred by the arrival of fleets with their "fares' or cargoes of fish, there ?a a "fisltpmmn's ball." and often manv. These are never for individual profit, but invariably for the benefit of women whose hearts are breaking. More the Man than the BaxSneSM or Country. There are many ways for the prudent, enterprising and energetic, in this highly favored section, to add to their stock of j home comforts and the wealth of theiri community. Nature is not at fault if any I fail of success here. Wherever there is failure, lay it down as a general rule that it is the man and not the business or the lack of natural advantages. There are scores of untried avenues which lead to wealth around us, in Charlotte and in the surrounding country. We are reminded j of one by the following article In the I Manvfacturers' Record on fruit-canning i factories: j "Some weeks since we told how the can| ning industry in Botetourt county, Va., j starting a few years ago with one farmer ; eanning his own fruits in his dwelling until gradually success enabled him to build a factory, had developed until there are now i a dozen factories in operation in that i county. Speaking of these twelve factories, the Herald, of Fincastle, the county seat, says: 'If any of the twelve have failed to make money we have yet to hear of it. On the contrary, it is known that all of the gentlemen engaged jp the business made money, some of them making an exceedingly good thing of it, whilst the farmers and laborers around each establishment were greatly benefited?the farmers by the cultivation of tomatoes and fruit, and the latter by receiving regular employment. The articles canned the past season consisted chiefly of tomatoes, sweet corn, peaches and apples.' So successful has been this industry that nineteen new factories will be established the coming spring, making a total of thirty-one in that county. In building up such an extensive business, Botetourt county has set an ex ample that mignt pe louowea wiin great profit by hundreds of other Southern counties, Here is one county in no ways superior to many others in all parts of the South, for raising vegetables and fruits, that has twelve successful canning factories in operation and nineteen more preparing to start up in the spring. This is a ; business in which there is little danger of overproduction so long as first-class goods arc canned, and the work well done. The best grades of canned goods are meeting with an ever-increasing demand, and the South annually consumes hundreds of thousands -of dollars' worth of canned goods purchased of other sections. Let the example of Botetourt county stimulate others. There is room for all." This section of country is far in advance . of Botetourt county, Va , in the way of advantages for making money out of canning factories. Canned goods, equal to those we buy in Northern marts of trade, ; might be made and sold here cheaper, and at equal profits to dealers. Yet we continue* to buy Northern goods, instead of ; making them for ourselves.?Charlotte ; Chronicle. TVid Vnll Af n Vf Cleveland, Ohio, Jai.uary 5.?Shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon the new Central Viaduct over Central way gave way and fell to the ground, forty feet below, with a terrible crash. The huge sleeper whicii is used on top of the viaduct, went . down with" (he wreck, burying fourteen workmen beneath the debris." The accident came without a second's warning. Suddenly the two spans over Central way fell 1 as if ?-?,wed off from the structure. Two men were crushed to death instantly and while their mutilated bodies could be seen, they could not be taken from the ruins by reason of the vast weight piled on them. One of the spans was 130 feet, and the other 30 fat in length. From what can be learned from those workis^ on the viaduct at the time of the accident, it was con jectured that the immense weight of the engine, used in hoisting the larger a heavier materials into position, together with the . weight of the spans, caused all that portion ] of the structure between'the Valley tracks J and Central way to go down. The accident resulted irom an oversignt in permitting the water carrier to run too far out on the end of the wooden trestle which is erected in advance of the iron works. The carrier ran over the end of the trestle and plunged down, carrying the wooden support, and these in turn crashed : against the insecure iron works, carrying down with it the next two spans. Hardy, the first man taken from the y/reck. was an awful sight. He was pinned 1)3* a rntus of broken beams and fron, and when lifted up the head was severed from tie body and : rolled into the gutter. A Great Howl Against ihe Saler-Stfttc Law.

Stories Aboat Joy Goaid's Trip to Europe. J The decision of the district attorney of few York that the suit against Jay Gould ad Russell Sage, instituted by the bondolders of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas r lilroad must be brought to trial, has given ise to some exciting stories among Wall * treet and railroad men. The charge is a riminal one, and accuses Messrs. Gould c n.l Sage of having wrongfully converted 1 d their own about $10,000,000 of sccuri c ies. Conviction under ti>o k-vs of d :s J itate would necessarily result in the ire- t irisonment of both of the distinguished < inanciers who are charged with the offense. 1 Lmong the stores afloat in YVai! Street to- < lay was one to t'le effect that Mr. Gould's i rip to Europe was taken to avoid tbe con- i equences of tlie trial, and that he did not; ] atend to return unless the verdict should ; )e in his favor. Representatives of the ] iondhclders who are ioitmmental in circu . ating the story, went so far as to cite in support of it the well known fact that Mr. aould has, during the last two years, transferred nearly $20,000,000 to foreign accounts. One ?;cDTleTu;'.n interested in the Drosecution said that Sir. Gould, if he found it inexpedient to return to America could lay his hands on more than one-third of his fortune in foreign fidnncial centres, trusting to his friends at lone to extricate the other two-thirds. Mr. Gould's friends pooh-pooh these stories, and to show theirabsurdity say that Mr. Gould's holdings of corporate securities in this country are so' large that he could not desert them. He owns outright, according to tbe figuring of his friends, more than ?50,000,000 of American securities, including $32,000,000 of the stock of the "Wes'.em Union Company. His flight would knock the bottom out of all these securities ar.e make them unmistakable. Mr. Gould's oldest son, Georee, smiles at al! these stories, and quietly remarks that bis father will be home early in the morning. Women's Clubs in London. The first club designed exclusively for women was founded ir. London ten years ago by a clergyman's widow, who saw the need of such organization for her sex. Its members now number 200. The initiation fee and annual dues are each two guineas, members having the privilege of introducing kinswomen by blood or marriage at a guinea a person. It is considered quite aristocratic, scrupulous care being taken to look after the antecedents, but not the private morals*, of all applicants. The Alexandra is another fashionable club, which men are never permitted to enter, even as guests or visitors. Those women only are eligible who would be admitted to the Queen's drawing-rooms. It began with 200 members and now has 500. Initiation and dues are two gui-. neas. The Alexandra has tied chambers, | where members may mase their toilet j for. the evening or may stay for a limitI cd period at a stipulated price. It is two years old and flourishing. The Somerville is a club for workingwomen; annual dues, five shillings; no initiation. Lecturers, debates, and other entertainments occur every week, when all subjects, cxcept theology, are discussed. It is eight* years old, has 1,000 members, and is exceptionally prosperous.?

The Mobile Register publishes a letter from Miss Mary Fearn, the daughter of the United States minister to Greece, tO II iritiliU 1U iiiuuiic, m v> ouo describes a ball held at her father's house in .Athens and attended by the Greek king. It was the second time the king had ever been at a private house in the evening, and the minister's family rather dreaded the stiffness and formality which they feared would mark the occasion, "but," Miss Fearn goes on, "fortunately for us, the king, who is naturally a charming person, happened to be in a particularly good humor on this occasion. He circulated aroun d the room in the most informal manner, so much so that at one time I quite forgot his presence, and in the midst of a wild galop with one of my young middies I bumped right into him in the most disrespectful manner as ho was crossing the room. However, he only 6miled and said: 'Go on; that's the way to enjoy it!'" Domestic Views.

The South has a fair supply of labor to meet the demands of present industries which is tractable and trustworthy. I found that the Southern man who is engaged in industry pays a warm tribute of praise and appreciation to the colored labor ers. Ante-war delusions about the negro are scattered. Everywhere the black man is at work. I saw him on the railroads, io the furnaces, in coal and iron mines, in cotton compresses, at freight terminals, at warehouses, at coking ovens, on farms, at teaming, etc. The negro is ai; the front in the manual work in the South . For such service he is "a favorite,and he is doing his part well in all the region which I sav.\ A gentleman who is engaged in lumbering in lower Alabama said fie iiod engaged colored men largely for thirteen years ia h:'s operations, and had found them honest' capable a ad loyal.

He found that who.so treats the negro fairly and jost'y and keeps faith with him need have i o trouble with his help, and will get go: d work dene This opinion was confirmed by Prof. Cravath, of Fiske University, in conversation with him.?Baltimore Manx ? faciurcn' Record. <00 A PJjriit Between White and Xeg-o Troop* There was a serious riot at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, on Tuesday, between white and colored troops, in which sever;.': were injured. Three of these arc expected to die. The trouble arose out of the conduct of a drunken negro soldier in chasing a white girl through tie streets. He was ran down by some whitesoldiers and taken to headquarters. Others of the negro troops then started out in arms, and meet i.ag some white troops attacked them fiercelyf The white? made their escape and formed a party for revenge. When they met the negroes, a sharp fight ensued, in which knives, clubs and rocKs were used with terrible effect. The casualties were as already stated. The row ^ras finally stopped by a squad of white soldiers, and everything is now quiet. Ari'lyal of flare Aslmsls.

Y. Star, m. > WILL POWDEKLY STEP DOWN? i L Thorough. Reorganization of the Knights ! of Labor Said to be Coming. (New York Mail and ]Express.) According to reports tiiat have been j eceived here by some of the more| )rominent of the leaders of the Knights! >f labor, the long-continued fight in that i >rganization will be settled by the | esignations of Master Workman Pow- j ierly, Secretary Litchman ana the other j i cvw-nolio/3 t'orlminiRhm- ! I neniucxa ui ov % l j ion ring" and a complete reorganization ]' )f the order. Thus a straggle of more nan three years will be brought to a! ;lose. Careful observers, however, hold! ihat the end will come too late to save j! the organization and that it is doomed j i to disintegration. Up to the last mo-1 ] ment the administration hoped that I some compromise might be arrived at! vrith District Assembly No. 1 of Pliila-: delphia and through it with the other: districts connected with the Chicago Provisional Committee, which 13 now j leading the open revolt. But no com-! promise would be accepted by the "kickers." The reaching of a definite; end on last Thursday night was pre-! vented by the sudden "illness of Master Workman Powderly, but She other parties interested met and had an opportu-: nity to indulge in some very plain talk, j the plainest of which came from Messrs. j Barry and Baily, the anti-Powderlyj members of'the General Executive. Board, whom the ring tried," but failed, j fn nnst from officc at Minneapolis. Powderly is now said to be willing to I step down. He is not shammiEg- sick-! ness. Not only is lie ill, bnt lie is dis- j gnsted and discouraged as welL His; recent tour through the East and the in-! formation that has come to him from other sources have convinced him that the once great order of which he was head is fast dropping to pieces. The growing strength of the revolt shows him that there is nothing ahead but defeat for him or the disintegration of the [ organization. His sickness is oppori tune. He will, according to the state! ments now made, use physical incapacity as an excuse for giving up his position, will go abroad for a time and leave the others to fisjht the thing out as they may. But General Secretary Litchman and the others think they see a gleam of hope in the delay secured by Powderly's illness, pitchman will next week send out his annual assessment notices to all the local assemblies. Upon the responses will rest the last hopes -of . the administration group. The Provisional Committee is not in any humor to allow the ring to renew its supplies. It is now represented in every State by district assemblies, and every single local attached to these is being warned nof to pay a penny over to tiie Jb'hnlaoeipJna crowd. In addition, every possible influence is be brought to bear upon locals that are not yet ia open revolt to ino"ce them to Withhold the amounts of the assessments levied upon them. As matters stand at present it is pretty certain that the amount of money paid into the'general treasury this year will be insignificant when compared with former years. The results of this financial boycott is obvious. Meanwhile the National Provisional Committee is continuing steadily on the aggressive. The rebels now number hundreds of thousands and are confident of victory. The Knights have watched the convention of the America*). Federation oi Trades at Baltimore with groat interest, i To a Mail and Express reporter George McMurrey, of the Printers' Assembly, said he did not think that, properly managed, the Knights would sufier by reason of the phenomenal success of the federation, adding: There is room for both organizations, and plenty of work for each. It shoulo not for a moment be considered that there is any rivalry or competition between the two organizations. Each is engaged in a great work.
