A two-story brick ( building on State street, between Broad ; and Chalmer, presents an interesting ap pearance of this description. The lower] door is used for merchandise and the upper j floor as a residence.

Interviews With tientlemen Fruiu the | Stricken fit). Washington, September a—The first passeugers coming north from Charh-ston, ! S. C., arrived this morning. They were unahle to leave Charl«*ston until yestenlay ' moruing, ou account of the interrupted | railroad communication. Thomas H. Fol-1 soli, of Baltimore, oue of th«*** passengers, gave a reporter an account of his experi ences: "1 was st«>ppiug at the Charleston Hotel," he said. "I was in my room, which | was on the thir«l floor. When 1 lit my gas j 1 heard a noise and supposed I had broken something but could find nothing broken, j I went to place luy hat ou a bureau ami j just then the slux-k caiue. I would have! falleu if 1 had not thrown my hands out î and clung to the window. It secmetlasj though the hotel was liftc«i up aud S WIN«; BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS, a distance of fifteen or twenty inches. At | each vibration I was terrified. At the first I sh«M-k the lights iu the house all went out. | Theu the plastering b«>gan to fall. It flash- i ed on my mind that I should endeavor to i get out of the house, and I got out into the corridor and groped my way iu utter dark-1 ness and aiui«l falling plaster. The other ' people in the house were likewise groping I their way ont. The air was filled with | plaster dust. All around was a terrible roaring ami moaning sound, ami the «lin j was heightemsl by the tailing of tiniherx. 1 tbund the front «l«*>r of the house closed— a fortunate thiug for me, as it SAY El» MY LIKE. it took me a moment to find the knob an*! | as I was looking tor it, tons of brick tell • down from the upper part of the house, in • front of the door. I ran out through the j heaps of lallen bricks and fell twice in I getting to the middle of the street. There I remained terror-stricken. Two shocks come alter 1 reached the middle of the street—a faint one seven minutes alter the 1 tint, and another, more violent, nine min utes later. The three shocks occurred ; within sixteen minutes. I remained in | front of the hotel until 1 o'clock. I did . uot know what to do. I was so unnerve«! ( that 1 could scarcely staud. As it became ; quieter, uo more shocks occurring. 1 went up the street to au open space and re-, uiaincd there until 3 o'clock. There we ' had ANOTHER SLIGHT SHOCK. At 3 o'clock I went to the Battery Park and tound it crowded, several thousands ; of terrified people having assembled then1. 1 There I remained during the remainder of the night. At 5 o'clock another faint shock was felt. At daylight, I, like others. | felt more eucouraged and 1 moved around to see what destruction had been done. I found at the Battery front some of the " most costly houses in the city cracked | from the ground to the top, and some por tions of the buildings were destroyed com- j pletely. The terror among the people ; during the night was iuteuse. Tbey j rushed through the streets FRANTICALLY CA LUX« ON IK)I> to have mercy on them. People who, [ perhaps, never praved before, then prayed aloud. The greatest tem>r and confusion reigned everywhere. The people, when the shock tame, ran men, women and: children, out into the streets in their night clothing and rem:tined in that way during the night huddled together in the street None would venture luck into the houses." Mr. Foison said that be thought the : published estimate of damage was too low, ' and that three-fourths of the city would have to be rebuilt. The people killed j were killed while leaving their houses, by the tailing of debris. All who could leave the city were leaving yesterday. Mr. P. T. Beunett left Charleston yes terday on the first outward train. There were five cars PACKED WITH BEFTOEES. For the first two miles the train moved very slowly. The rails were twisted. As , the train wetft aloof the people in the car noticed another shock. This further twisted the rails. It was, however, possi ble to proceed slowly. The people are at work digging in the ruins for bodies, and an til that work is completed it will be im possible to tell, or even guess any way ac curately at the number of casualties." "Have the reports of the disaster been exaggerated?' ' "Not a bit of it. It would be impossi ble to put into words any description ol the disaster and its effects. My wife and I spent two night« on the commons, as did thousands of other people. To depict THE DBKADFII. SCEN'K would be beyond any man's powers. There is not one tionse in ten that will not have to be rebuilt. There was a peculiar differ ence in the manner in which brick aud frame bnildings went under. The walls of the brick buildings swayed and fell over, while the buildings buiit of wood simply collapsed." "Were there any peculiar conditions pre ceding the shocks?" "Yes. It became terribly hot about twenty minutes before the shock. It was a peculiar scorching heat that I never felt before. I saw people on the streets taking off their coats and vests as they walked along. Then there was a rumbling noise. It was like a train of cars pasBing under a tunnel on the top of which one stands. This rumbling and roar were followed by the shocks and the terribly swaying move ments and then the falling of walls. On Wednesday all you could get to v«t was some canned goods. All the stores were closed and all the hotels. No one wanted to go iuto the houses to cook." In leaving Charleston Mr. Bennett no ticed on both sides of the track evidences of volcanic eruptions. Phosph ite, colored red ami blue, and water had been forced "P t Chaei.kstu.v, 8.

Charleston, September :t. —Jt would be simply impossible to exaggerate or to depict iu sutliciently descriptive language the effect of the visitatioa of Tue^lay night on the colored people of Charleston. There never was until within the past few davs an opportunity of noticing a public exhi bition ol superstitious far to the degree that has existed among all classes of the colored people since the shock of Tuesday night.

The Qrax. THE GREENBACKERS. GEN. GUFF'S HENCHMEN CUNNINGLY AC COMPLISH THEIR PURPOSE. The Third Senatorial District Greenbackers Are Asked to Pall the Chestnuts Oat of the Fire for the Republicans. Special (brrcspondciiee of the Register. West Union, W. Va., September 3.— A few of the Greenbackers of the Third I Senatorial District met iu G. W. Fair's law office at this place, August 31st, pursuant to a call of thu Chairman, and effected a sale of the party, principles and all, to the Republicans, iu the nomination ot M. S. Riley, of Clarksburg, as the can didate whom the Republicans will indorse and a henchman of General Gotf. The convention was composed of the fol lowing delegates: J. C. Johnson, Lott Bowen, Sell Ogdeu, Joseph Noble, and old uncle Ben Clemen«. The Hon. E. G. Taylor looked in at the august body, shook his head and departed. J. W. Gat rell aud C. M. Tate feeling aggrieved over the Buchannou sellout, were not present. I. C. Hoopes and L. M. Fleming, t wo dele tes from Ritchie county, were in town, hut found it more agreeable iu a Demo cratic mass meeting which was in progress at the same time in the Court House. The Hon. Judge Edwin Maxwell, the defeated fusion candidate for Governor, and an other henchman of General UofF, was present, closeted with the Chairman, J. C. Johnson, Lott Bowen and Sell Ogdcn, who made the sale anil will at tempt to deliver up the goods to Judge Maxwell in the interest of Gen. Gofl' for L'. S. Senator. The honest Greenbacker will have a hard pill to swallow, when he votes directly or indirectly for Gen. (lot! the President of a National Hank at Clarksburg. If the Grceuhaekere would succeed, they must sup|)ort the Democratic ticket, as the principles of the two parties are one and the same. The Greenhackers have simply followed the ideas of the Democracy in the presentation of what they claim to be their distinctive financial views. The democratic party has always favored the idea that taxation should be equal and uniform; that each oue should pay taxes in proportion to the property he possesses, whether that be large'or small. The Journals of Congress show this. As early as Juno 'J*, 1862, the question of concurring in Senate amendments to the act creating bonds, etc., was before the House, M. Holnian, a Democrat, offered a provision: "Thatnothing in this act shall impair the right of the State to tax the bomls, notes and other obligations issued under tins act." Sixty-three Democrats voted for this amendment and not one voted against it. Only eight Republicans voted for it and seveuty-seven against it. j Thus the Republican party defeated the J proposition. That was an early action o! I the Democracy in favor of the people. In Hi;:; the Democrats voted against Nation al bank charters. In April, lSil, they voted against the supplemental bank bill, j Liter on, while the Republicans voted against taxing the banks, the Democrats voted for such taxation. In H70 Dem ocrat!) voted against funding the greenbacks into coin ltouds. It was claimed that this act rohlied the people of ueailv $.">00,000,000. The Republicans were solid for the funding. The Democrats were always on tin- side of the people. The Republicans were always on the side of the mouo]M>lists. There is no hope for the Greenhackers to have a single one of their principles carried out by voting with the Republican party, that issued the bonds and exempted them from taxation, that made those bonds payable in currency when lirst issued, then in violation of that contract made by the people with the I Kind holders, made the bonds payable in coin. ■ Not satislied with this, legislated still fur ther in the interest of the bondholder, by making those bonds payable iu gold. WII EKE THEY KICKED. A Split lu the ltaiikH of New York City Knights of Lahor. New Vokk, September 3.—Members of the Home Club assert positively that they have purchased I'ythagorus Hall, on Canal street, for District Assembly No. 4!», Knights of I.abor.

They said that the Home Club might buy its own hall. District Master Workman McGuire promptly susjiended the seventy-live local assemblies on Wednesday morning. It was said yesterday that the members of one hundred and twenty-five Local Assemblies altogether will kick. "The members are willing to do most anything for the Home Club." some Knights said,"but their gen erosity stopped short at huving a STO.tNJO j home for the Club on Caual street."

The Falsity of IIU Assortions Ke^anling Appointments. Washington, Septeuil»er —A meet ing ol' the Democratic employes of the Government Printing Office was hehl last evening to protest against the published statement of l'ublic Printer Rounds that (hiring his administration he hail ap pointed as many Democrats as Rcpubli cans, and tliat the office is now equally divided between the two parties. Iii point of fact, lint about one-lifth of the; employes are Democrats, and these have been appointed to the suWdinate j>osi tions that were far less profitable and more arduous than those held by Republi cans. A majority of these Democratic appointees were given their places after the election of Cleveland, and of them were on the recommendation of Senator Gorman, who is on the Senate Printing Committee. Hounds, in his statement, says that he never inquired into the poli ties of applicants, hut Senator Kenn», Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Committee, has in his |iosscssiou letters over Rounds' own signature asking the polities of parties applying for positions under him. In reducing the lorce Demo crats were invariably selected for dismis sal. No Republicans were disturlasd. The force Is now HOU in excess of the require ment of business, simply because Rounds has made it a rule to dis miss no Republican. The Democratic printers especially object to t lie w ay Rounds is endeavoring to handicap the new Public Printer, lie has tiled recoin inondations extolling certain Republican employes, and asking their retention under the new ad ministration. In this way lie hopes to lix his personal friends, and if they Ik* dis missed, raise a howl over partisan action. In connection with Rounds' retirement there is a feature that lias on its face the appearance of a job. Rounds was one«- a volunteer tireniau, and « hen he came to the office and Ii I led every vacant corner with a U re ex tiuguisher manufactured in Chicago, it was thought to be merely a fancy of his; but wltliiu the past week he has adver tised for proposals for "protecting the Government Printing Office building with a complete system of lire extinguishers throughout the entire establishment." l'he contract is to be given out September l.'J, one day before Rounds retires. Within the prescribed time no lirm that had not an advance tip could make an estimate oil such a comprehensive-job. The fact that the office is better protected with lire ap paratus than any other publie building in Washington makes com men t unnecessary. Someone who is in "on the ground lloor" will get a fat contract for needless equip ments the day before Roundsdisappers be low the official ho^soii. Important to Hushics* Men. Washington, D.
