LILLE NEW fUBLlC oV1LOANoos
WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Secretary OF
OF Representatives, says that the work on The
U nited States Court House and Post once
buildings in New York, the Post Office and
Sub Treasury building in Boston, and the
Branch Mint in San Francisco, should in MS
opinion be pushed forward to completion as
soon as possible. OF the works proposed, but
for which no appropriations have been yet
made, the greatest necessity exists for those IN
Hartford, Conn.,, Grand Rapids, Mich, st.
Louis and Jefferson City, Mo, Little Rock.
Ark, and Quincy, Ill. And it is desirable to
limit the new works to be undertaken the
present year to five, and in any event they
should not exceed seven. He renews the rec
ommendation that with each appropriation tor
new work there shO1ld be provision limit
ing the amount to be expended. This being
done. it would be the duty of the department
to cause plans to be prepared aud estimates TO
be made by responsible persons, So that the
cost OF the work shall be brought within the
limits prescribed by law.
TENNESSEE.
The Committee on Reconstruction still have
before them the Tennessee case. Secretary of
State Fletcher appeared before them on Satur-
day and presented a statement, showing reas
Ons who the State should be again reconstruct
ed. He claimed that Gov. S4nter was elected
by fraud, the vote at the election being SO 900
more than it was nile months previous. His
principal argument for reconstruction at the
present time is that the STATE government is
unable or unwilling to protect the people from
the Ku.Klux and other marauders, and that
the action proposed would be justified under
the clause OF the constitution that the United
States shall guarantee to every State in the
Union a Republican form of government.

10 We EGuOT Oy We FreSS.
In the PRESS of the 9Th inst. is an article re-
lating to the affairs of the West Cong. Church,
and in which your correspondent has fallen
into some errors, though writing doubtless
with the best intentions. These errors, to-
getber some Misrepresentation which has been
verbally current, seem to call for a briet state
ment OF facts.
The edice now occupied by this church and
society was completed and dedicated ia the
beginning of 1861 The funds ex pc uded in its
erection were derived from many different
sources. Miss Eliza A. Hanson bequeathed to
the enterprise three thousand dollars; one
Thousand OF which was appropriated to the con-
structlon OF the bDiding, and the remait ing two
thousand were invested for per mapent fund;
the income OF which is to assist in the mai te.
nance of divine Worship
The Cost Of the church building is stated by
gentlemen acquainted with the facts to bav.
been six thou aud dollars or upwards. OF this
sum i've thousand dollars or more were given
by friends 10 this city and elsewhere in the
State and in other States; the people OF the
community around the church contributing
literally. Materials and labor were given BY
the residents of the vicinity 10 va, ious sums,
from the few days which laboring men could
SCARE from the support OF their families, up to
some hundreds OF dollars
Your correspondent says "there are now
nearly one hundred names upon the church
books, :. which is quite large congrega.
ton, considering the lumber Of 'nhabitart is
there" What the intended significance of this
paragraph may have been We cannot say. 1t
suggests however the propriefy OF stating that
while the Increase in the membership of this
church has been very rapid and very encour-
aging, there is still abundant room for its tur-
tber growth, and almost unlimited material to
be wrought upon by its influence. There are
lew parishes In the State, if indeed there are
any, Ehoh call for more active christian labor
such labor can be more hopefully bestowed.
