Having seen nothing in the INTEL
LIGENcER from this place for some sine I
venture TO send you a few current items.
Our mines are all running quite ex-
tensively now, giving employment to a
large number Of men. Some time ago We
heard talk OF a strike among some OF the
mines, but good counsel and their better
judgment prevailed, and SO the annoyance
and loss occasioned by striking were
obyiated. Mechanics and tradesmen Of all
classes seem to have something to do, and
thus arc we beginning to see and feel
the effects OF revival OF trade.
The course OF the 1STILLIGRSCGR in op-
posing Grant and third tennisin meets
with almost UNIVERSAL approval here. In
deed we do not know OF Grant man in
town. While some say they will vote for
him II nominated at Chicago, there are
others who bodily declare they will not
support him under any circumstances.
Blaine seems TO be the choice OF large
majority Of the Republicans Of this place.
During the session OF the County Court
there has been agreat deal OF preparatory
electioneering for Sheriff, members OF the
Legislature and other officers to be selected
this fall. But as there are SO many names
in connection with the various
positions to be filled, 1t Is too early to
speculate much as to who will be the sue
cessful competitions on the opposing
tickets.

THE GERMAN ARMY.

LONDON, January 24.-The Times, in a
leading editorial article to-day, comment.
ing on the proposed increase in the Ger
man army, says: "What is disturbing in
the matteris the revelation il affords oithe
terrible condition OF the armed truce in
which Europe exists from day to day. by
wisdom and drmness statesmen may avoid
a collision oil these armed forces, but such
achievement will need incessant vigilance
and patience. AT such time England
ought TO hold herself as free as possible
from all unnecessary entanglements, in
order to be able, II necessary, to make her
voice heard at tsome critical moment, when
the whole course Of European history
might be hanging in tho balance. Far
greater issues TO the world are now at stake
in Europe than in any other quarter OF the
globe, and 10 deciding them England may
have a still more beneticent part 10 play
than ever she has yet fulfilled. To play L
effectively she must be strong, and she
should be at peace"

WAsHrNoToS, January "a. = Eleven
counties in Pennsylvania have sent dele
gates to the State Convention instructed
for Blaine. In two counties attempts to
secure instruction for Grant have failed,
and SO far no delegate has been sent to the
Convention instructed for Grant. This
does not look very encouraging for sena-
tor Cameron's plan to secure an endorse
ment for Grant; still he takes the matter
philosophically, and states truly THAT
there are sixty.seyen counties in the State,
more than two-thirds Of which have not
elected delegates. He says that he has no
desire to force any Endorsement upon the
Convention. He iayors Grant as q candi-
date, and he believes nine-tenths OF the
people Of Pennsylvania agree with him,
but II itshould appear at the Convention
that he is mistaken, he will willingly sur
render his preference.

lucky. The tenor Of the information is
that the contest in that State Is between
Sherman and Blaine, and that Grant Is de-
veloping much less strength than was sup
posed.
A gentleman Of this city, Ben. Perley
Poore, Is preparing a life OF Secretary
which will be issued from the
press within few months.
Information comes frem New York that
the feeling in favor OF Sherman in that
State Is steadily on the increase. A club |
in his interest which has been formed
there this week contains numberof in
auential men, and an organized movement
10 secure delegates in his favor will be
nade all over the State. The best opinion
Is that the Grant movement in New York
IS steadily dying out, and that Sherman
will profit largely by 1t.

,yident decadence OF the Grant boom,
OF the third term profess to be.
ieve that they will succeed. They talk as
hough 1t were part oil their plan 10 let
ieneral. Grant pass out ofpublic notice for
season, predicting that when he returns
ust before the meeting OF the Chicago
enthusiasm will revive, and
le will carry everything with rush. A
senator who is very intimate with Don
cameron says there is nothing in the ru-
nor that the Pennsylva Senator has
,ecome convinced that 1t would not do TO
un Grant for a third term. He declares
hat Cameron is for Grant and for nobody
Use. He honestly believes that Grant Is
hestrongest man his party can nominate,
nd intends to do all in his power TO nomi-
!ate him. He acknowledges, however,
hat the Grant boom has visibly declined
Iuring the past few weeks. Grant men
lere say that while the decadenCe oil the

'ected it would be, yet when he returns

How the charIeAton state House Will
Look When Remodeled = Plans aud
specifications as Submitted by Archi.
tect KembIe.


A reporter for the Intelligenetr had an
opportunity yesterday Of looking over the
plans furnished TO the Board OF Public
Works Of this State, by Mr.. G. @. Kemble,
Of this city, and Mr.. PEBBLES, Of Pitts
bhrgh, for the new Capitol building, at
Charleston, or rather for the remodeling
Of the old State House IN that city. Per-
haps the former expression is nearer to
being correct, for there is 30 little OF the
old building to be used in the construction
OF the proposed Capitol that it will be
practically new building when COM
pleted.
When 1t was decided to attempt to util-
ize the old building, the architects'gave up
the idea Of attempting to increase It's
capacity, by adhering to the old plan and
extending the wings Of the building mere
ly, as most people supposed would be
done. They concluded that II would be
better 10 retain such portions OF the old
building only as would conform to de-
sirable plan OF an interior, and build q
Capitol around 1t and above 1t. This
plan has :heen accepted and 1t is Alto
gether probable that when the building Is
constructed, the workmen who put up the
original ediiice will have trouble in dis
covering the remains OF their industry,
The centre OF the former building, meas.
uring about fifty by seventy.lve feet, Is
retained for jaIitor's. storage aud retiring
