A Mistake Corrected.

From the Columbia Register Of NoS. 22d
TRENTON, S. c., Nov. 10, so.
Ma. EDITOR: Your editorial con,
,ernine the accident to Mrs. Wise,
her daughter and myself, on the ighl
Of the 10th instant, was brought to
nv attention to-day. In it you st@ ate
that Mrs. Wise and daughter were
under my charge, and that was sh.22t
with my own pistol. The facts are
that I had charge OF no ladies, did
not know that Mrs. Wise and daughj
ttr were in the depot, for | was shot
on the platform, and by another man S
pistol falling from his pocket on the
floor. Further, Mrs. Wise and daugh-
ter had concluded, before I was shot,
TO remain in Columbia, on account OF
TIE train being badly crowded
You will please make these correc-
tons and oblige,
Yours respectfully,
ALBERT S. MILLER.
We are extremely sorry that ne
should have placed Mr.. Miller in a
false position. Our information with
regard to the accident was obtained
from q gentleman who was present
when the pistol was discharged, but
he must have been mistaken about
ihe details of the affair. A large
crowd was near the depot and there
was much confusion, and 1t was easy
for our informant to make the mis-
take he did. We make this correc-
ton with pleasure.

WIVES AS PARTNERs.-Emma James,
in a Washington letter t Albany Eren-
ing Journal, says this: Il am tempted
to say something here about wives as
~uureserved partners in their husbands
correspondence, and u,ce uersd because
I often hear it discussed here. 1t has
brought nome to me of late. by chance
remarks from two of the happiest wives
and best bred women | have ever met.
Each said to me, on a separate occa-
sion, my husband and | never open
each others letters. We would not
think it courteous" One added,
when women insist on this as a right,
you may be sure it is not love that
prompts it it is suspicion. Ihave tried
to be equitable toward my husband in
my married life, to trust him with the
grave consideration due to any gentle
man especially to a man with high pub
lie trusts. | do not want to know the
secrets of the men who confde in his
discretion. There are a thousand ways
of nagging a husband this among the
most fruitful Of all l have studied to
avoid them" This was given with
modest dignity in answer t 0 my asking
her the secret of her fresh and youth
full looks, though the mother of grown
up daughters, and the companion secret
of her husbands love-like and proven
bal devotion to her.

In California the practice of "hy-
draulic-ing" the d-bearing gravel
banks has worked such damage to tho
water courses by filling them up with
the sickness or refuse, that the power
Of the State has been called on to pre-
vent continuation of the injurious prac-
tice. A curious and essentially Cali
fornia project has been developed out
of this condition of affairs. Oroville,
in Butte Co., is in a fair way Of de-
struction by the washing out Of the
ground on which 1t stands. A compa-
ny with a capital of s., 600, 900 propo-
ses to buy a tract Of land near the
town, move the buildings there, build
a dam SO feet high across the river be-
low the town, forming a basin five
miles long and two and a half miles
wide, and trap the debris and tailiDgs
Of all the hydraulic mines up the river.
They estimate that the mipe. will pay
for the privilege of such a dumping
ground, about $3.50, 900 per anum, and
that it will take 80 years to fill the ba-
sin.

Mr.. Editor: I saw the following in a
paper few days ago. A young oolored

a year ago a. porter. and is now 10 of
the chief distzibaiias clerks
We'll. . young colored man entered
the Goldshsro postofice about three
months ago ~ licking clerk, and he is
now in jail charged With robbing the
mails.
He was an unblemished American post

He believed That in handling valuable
mail.
The thing should be done on shares.
Q, he was . jolly postofice clerk;
IT'S the same old story to tell,
de encountered temptations. too strong
for his race,
He faltered, he wavered, he fell.
A portion Of the colored population
here think that thSy hsve suffered
gross injustice /; that their rights guar
anteed them by the constitution have
been trampled upon, that the constitu-
ton in not worth the paper it il written
on; that the country the colorsd troops
fought to save wa not worth saving
that the American flag and American
eagle have dwindled down until one is
not larger than . spring chicken, and
the other would not patch the stern end
of = pair of pants, and all because one
of their number was not clerk in the
postof6ce. About a year ago they made
. dead set for the thing, and for a time
the fight waxed warm. Much bad
blood lamong the faithfully was engen-
dered, and a little spilled. Mr.. Smith,
the postmaster, did not take to the idea
very rapidly, but the colored brethren
were in earnest.
They wrote for it, they cried for it,
They fit and bled, and-lied for it;
20 it is said. At any rate, one of their
number was given . place in the Office,
and the result is as stated in the begin
ming of this letter. And the end is not
yet.
Track laying has commenced ON Mr..
Best's Smithield-S Salisbury extension.
Hope it will soon be completed. What
is the matter with Richmond and Dan

ing to plant another large crop Of

sress from California land who in the
opinion Of Gen. d. IL. Hill was an

New York Sun then printed a letter
written by Gen. Garfield, while RS
chief Of staff was complaining
of the latter, aud asking to be
sent to some other place If Rose
Grams could not be driven into a more
courageous course. This letter was
carried by Chief Justice Chase to Lin
Rosecrans from the command OF the
army. The publication of this letter
by the San last week created a great
sensation all over the country; for l.
showed that Garfield was an h%ypo:ritc

Rosecrans, in his anger, produced sew

his removal, protesting the greatest
love for him, and vowing on his honor
that he had never written any such let

WASHINGTON, March In an inter
view between Guieeau and Scoyille the
former assured the latter that he was sor-
ry he had abused him N the occasion of
his last visit, aud promised not to offend
again. Strange as it may appear, a
woman was at the bottom Of the affair,
which grew out of Scoville's Withholding
a letter from Gu;teau. A young woman
signing herself Clara Augustus Davis"
residing in Hoboken, n. j.. took the
trouble to write thirteen closely lined
pages of letter paper to the prisoner, in
which she assured him of her devotion
to bis interests, and announced her in
tention of getting him out ofjail if money
could accomplish such an object The
prisoner answered her at once, but when
the reply came it fell into Scoville's
hands and he opened it. The picture
OF a handsome and intelligent looking
woman dropped out. The missive,
which was addressed my poor, dear,
prosecuted friend,' proceeded to give,
in chaste and elegant d~iction, her feel
ings for the prisoner, and described I'D
a graphic manner how she had tainted
when the verdict Of the jury was al
nounced. Scoville retained the letter
and on the occasion of his recent trip to
New York, e~ndeavored to find the writer.
After considerable trouble he ascertain
ed her lodging place, but wa unsuccess-
full in finding her at home. He became
convinced that the woman simply want
ed G%uiteau's replies as a souvenir, and
consequently withheld the letter from
him. Guiteau, however. received an
other letter, in which the writer com-
planned hat he did not care for her or
he would have acknowledge the former
epistle. When Scovi!le called on Cult
eau a few days later, the latter abused
him violently, and it is believed would
have attacked his counsel had not the
presence Of guards deferred him.
