An Extonatve Fire.

New YORK, March 3.-The premi-
ses OF the American Tea Company, No
81, 33 and IS Vesey street are now, al
II p. NJ, on fire. The conaagration is
spreading rapidly aud the second, third
fourth and Fl th floors are all enveloped
in flames. The building is on the cor
ner of the block and the whole side oI
which fronting on Vesey street is oc-
cupied by the Tea Company. The
wind is blowing hard from the north
west and the destruction Of the entire
block is probable. The smoke in the
ueighborhood aud on Broadway is
dense and suffocating Large pieces Of
timber and sparks are flying in all di-
rections. The fire department was
quickly on the ground but tbe flames
had already obtained great headway.
Their efforts will be mainly y directed TO
saving the remainder OF the block.
Origin OF the fire is not yet known.
Loss will be very heavy.
Later.
A very destructive fire occurred here
to-uight, resulting in the total destruc-
tion OF the United States Tea Compa-
ny's store in Vesey street, and destroy
ing considerable propercy besides. The
stores are situated at 35 and 81 Vesey
street and have fronting OF fifty feet
on that street and seventy-five feet on
Church street The fire WAS discovered
on the fourth floor, occupied by Pale
trau u Raynor, printers. The wind was
blowing gale at the time and although
the frenen we're early on the spot the
flames made rapid headway. The fire
insurance patrol was busily engaged in
covering up tea on the first floor and
basement. When. about fifteen
minutes after the discovery
OF the fire the floors above gave way
henesth the weight of presses and
heavy machinery, and crashed through
to the basement Many men had mar
row escapes IRON death and several
were severely injured. The fire then
extended to Church street aud also
caught the ROOT OF the building next
door, occupied by Great American Tea
20. A general alarm was sounded after
fighting the fire iour hours, the men
sue ,eeded in getting it under control.
The filth floor of the building Was occo'
pied by the Christian Leader, which Of
course loses everything.
The losses are estimated by the insur-
apce companies reportei as follows:
U. Tea Company, S50,OO0; Pel-
letrau & Co., printers, $4,000; ChrtS-
tian Leader, $1,000; Great American
lea Company. SIS. 900; loss on build
ings, $5O,OOO. The aggregate will reach
over 100000. The insurance could
not be sscertsined, The cause OF the
fire is not known.

Virginia aud West Virginia.

The West Virginia papers are still
discussing the question Of the snuexs-
ton OF the Panhandle to Penpsylvs-
mia, as stated in the Dispatch yesterday,
and some Of them seem 10 suppose that
the Valley OF Virginia is seriously
meditating upon the idea Of snnexing
herself to West Virginia. The man
who caught a Tartar jumped up behind
one OF those famous horsemen, and,
though he claimed to have caught him,
was by the Tartar carried off and into
the enemy's camp. West Virginia will
catch just this sort Of a Tartar when
she jumps up behind the Valley
Of Virginia Both will soon afterwards
come riding into the camp of Old Vrr-
gnia. So far are we from raising any
objection 10 this scheme, that we should
not object to the annexation OF the
whole Of Virginia to West Virginia
We must say, however, that the scheme
is original in this; that whereas hereto
fore people everywhere and always
have desired that. if possible, a frontage
on salt water should be possessed by the
States, the Valley would, crsb-like,
travel backward and away from the
sea in joining herself to West Virginia.
She would right-about face, and in>
stead OF looking to the east, would 90
toward the setting sun and away from
the broad bosom OF the ocean, which
bears the commerce Of All the world
Or course there is no considerable mum.

proposition. Richmond Dispatch.

Mosby ~ witness 10 prove the lie

The Washington correspondent oI
the Baltimore Sun writes that quite an
interesting incident took place las,
Wednesday in the room Of the Southern
claims commission. The commission
ners bad just heard the claim OF Jo-
siah B. Bowman, Of Fairfax county,
Va, for Sc, 700, and were hearing the
closing statements OF Mr.. james l.
Gardner OF Loudoun county, Va, for
support Of his own claim for $500 for
property taken from his farm by Union
uhlans. Mr.. Gardntr was giving iu his
evidence, when Col. J s. Mosby, the
ex-Confederate guerrilla came into the
room 10 file q claim neiore the commits

from the "rebels" during the war un.

and how he saved his property, to he

soldiers came along and gobblet it up
Mosby, who was unknown 10 the wit
ness, took seat about ten ieet from
him and listened to him attentively.
Finally Gardner related the trouble
that Mosby and other rebels gave him

county because he was Uoion mao,

CONGRESSIONAL SALARIES.

Speaker BLAINE made his hrst o'o
for the next Presidency by little
stroke OF policy last Saturday. This
NAV seem like harsh Interpretation
OF an act OF common honesty, but
BLAINE is like other Radical members
OF Congress aud is honest only when he
is convinced that it is 'the best policy. y
BUTLER's amendment to rhe appropria-
ton bill was under consideration, CIV
ing to the SPEAKER OF the present
House $4,000 per annum, and to rep
resenlstives 5000. BLAINE moved to
amend the bill so That the speaker
should hereafter receive the Increased
salary, thus virtuously waving his
portion OF the pluuder that the remain.
der of the House stood ready TO vote.
Alter much coquetry on the part OF the
exemplary Speaker, his wish was graft
tiei, aud the insertion OF tue word
n hereslter was permitted, in so far as
il referred 10 the salary of the presiding
officer.
The other members of the House,
however, recognizing no GREATER
that was worth money to them, voted
three thousand dollars eacn, into tnelr
own pockets, with the utmost compla-
cency, untroubled by any Presidential
aspirations, and caring uolhiug tor the
comments of cold and uusympathetl
world. To many OF them 1t was the
last chance tor a convenient steal, aud
those who had been reelected felt that
the ordeal WAS past, and that they
needed some reimbursement ot the
funds expended in securing reelection.
But, seriously, when Is this thing 10
stop? Eacn Congress teels itself COM
PEELED to "raise" its predecessor, and
the people are, year after year, sub
ie5ted 10 heavier demands. Members
OF Congress. elected with the UNDER
standing that thev are to receive on'v
5000 per annum vote themselves
$1,000. Then, represe ntatlves who have
agreed 10 accept $1,000 as the price OF
their services vote themselves So 500,
and it is by no means Improbable that
the Congress that goes into authority
today will corclude in 1875 that It's
members ought TO he paid $1,000 per
wear and will make An appropriation
for that purpose. In fact, the Senate
is now endeavoring to force upon the
members OF the present House one
thousand dollars per annum more than
the elastic consciences OF the members
have been able to demand, though,
under the stress of Senatorial recon-
mendation, they may find themselves
able TO take in $1,000 more.
To plain and unsophlcsted people
this looks like direct swrnde. The
public treasury is just as effectually
robbed by the greed sHd untaithulness
OF members OF Congress who have voted
for this increase OF pay, a. it could be

and lever, should open the vaults and
pocket the money there found. We
are glad to note that neither OF our
