Attempts at Reconsideration
Trouble Brewing.
A meeting of the stockholders of the
Orange and Alexandria Railroad Company
was called in Alexandria, Wednesday, and
1t resulted in n collision and q smash-up.
The secessionists, annealed and unannealed,
forgiven and unforgiven, attempted to get
the road into their hands, whereupon tho
State proxies repudiated their action and
organized meeting, in which officers were
duly elected, as they claim, for the company.
Some curious proceedings were had. The
secessOnists being determined to reject GER
tain proxies which Mr.. KoKeSzIE, chairman
of the State board, thought loyal and legal,
he withdrew from tho meeting, which was
being held in Lyceum Hall, and organised q
meeting in the Council Chamber, where, a
quorum of the stock being represented, Mr..
ANDREW JAMESON was elected President,
and the following gentlemen directors of tho
company: GEO. b. FowLE, PHILIP QUIGLEY,
r. H. MILLER.
A vote of thanks to Mr.. Qugley was unsn-
imOusly passed.
The chair appointed tho following as the
Examining Committee: james II. Lee, Esq,
Orange C. F. Lee, Alexandria Richard
Payne, Fauquier G. R. Mason, Esq, Au-
gustai Chas. Slower, Esq, Orange. On mo.

FEMALE TREASURY CLERKS.

FEMALE TREASURY CLERKS.
The statement has been published that the
employment Of women ns clerks in the Treas
ury Department has proved failure. We
are authorized to say that it is untrue. But
it does not follow, nevertheless, that evils do
not exist among that class of employees. In
the first place women have been recommend.
ed for places in the Treasury who should
never have been employed by the Govern
ment under any circumstances, especially in
times of rebellion. We have reason to be.
lieve that some women have been appointed
to responsible places who were known, at the
time of the appointment to be bitter enemies
of the Government; others, OF notoriously
bad character, have, upon the recommenda-
tion of Congressman and other distinguished
personages, been employed; others, relatives
OF influential persons, who did not actually
need the salary, have been hired, when poor,
honest and meritorious women have been re-
jected.
The high salary paid by the Government,
compared with the small wages paid to wo.
men outside in almost all other branches of
business in which they engage, has had
bad moral effect upon the minds of many Of
the young ladies in the Treasury and other
Departments. 1t has unnecessarily encour-
aged extravaganza. Some of the ladies
dress each morning with as much care and
elegance as if they were going to the Presi.

q number Of churches, hundreds OF shops,
and everything requisite to make city in
reality, with land enough for ten cities.
There ate now completed two OH pipes from
here to railroads, viz: One to the "Miller
Farm" five miles from here, ut which place
IL reaches The on Creek Railroad; the other
Is from here to the Allegheny river, at the
mouth Of Pithole Creek, four miles distant.
This Is four inch pipe, and Is now carrying
oil and delivering 1t on the Allegheny siyer.
The capacity Of the first pipe Is over one
thousand barrels daily, of the seeond oYcr if
teen hundred barrels daily, and there Is a
third being laid Of a SIX inch size TO another
point ou the Allegheny river, fire miles dis
tant, which Will soon be completed, and Will
have abont two thousand barrel capaclty
day. Therr Is also railroad that In twenty
