IT appears that not more than one fourth of
the whole number Of operatives belong to the
society. The employers find that it is impos.
sibIe TO comply with the demands of the
journeymen without great INJURY to them
selves and they are determined not to submit
further In many cases the employers took
contI acts when the rate of wages was two and
quarter dollars per day. but when the
demand for three dollars per day was made
they aequiesced, though many OF them lost
money by the concession. On Monday last the
journeymen bricklayers struck for five dollars
per day and as workmen are scarce the EN-.
ployers were obliged to give the ADDITIONAL
pay. The master carpenters, however, are
determin ed not to surrender and a week more
will probably bring matters all right

House. by order Of General Schofield, is gen
eral topic OF comment and conversation in
Richmond. The friends of John H. Pierce,
his successor. say General Schofield had no
other alternative under the reconstruction bill
OF Congress. BiRRer's friends say that Pierce,
whose wife is assistant mafron In the institu- :
ton. was in the habit Of visiting the place and
taking his meals Rratuitously, 10 which Bigger
objected, al ID thereupon Pierce informed Gen
eral Schoheld that he was turned ont Of the
building where his wife held a situation, and
that he was good Union man, &c. The order
OF removal is simply a few lines directing
Pierce to MI the position. without stating the
r. sason. The truth would appear to be that
