Congress should be careful not to be "penny.
wise and pound foolish" in its appropriations
for the support OF the government. There are
doubtless, some estimates which may be reduced
without detriment to the public service, but
there are many others where every penny asked
for should be granted. For instance, IT is stated
that the Postmaster General will ask for q spe-
cial appropriation sufficient to enlarge the pres
ent postoffiee building. This should be granted
Already the department has been obliged to
resort TO the practice OF renting quarters outside
OF the building proper, which lacks sufficient sc
commodations. The enlargement of the build
ing would, however, be a mere temporary ex-
pedient, as in few years 1t would again be
found too small. What the government needs
Is q new post Office building, at least twice the
size of the present structure. The latter can
then be turned over to the Interior department
which could utilize every foot of space in it,
and thus save the payment Of a large amount
OF rent for outside accommodations yearly. The
time Is rapidly approaching when both of the
departments named must have adequate &C
commodshons for the transaction OF public bust

The Rev. Professor Sears writes a letter to
the CkriSfiGn Register about the eminent Ger
man theolo gian, DR.. Tholuck, in which he
says:
But the most painful disclosures remain yet
to be told. This disting uished and excellent
man, in common with the great majority OF the
evangelical dyines in Germany, thoogh he pro-
fesses to have serious doubts, and is cautious in
avowtng the sentiment, believes that all men
and fallen spirits will finally be saved.
The Rev. Sears, in his distress over the doc.
trine Of salvation for all, reminds one of the
good orthodox old lady who complained thai
the UniversAlists were preaching that nobod,
would be damned, but said she, "We hope fol
better things"

That locomotive engineers or any other men
have night to ask certain compensation for
their services, and, falling to obtain their de-
mands, have the further right to refuse to work
for less, is lot disputed; but when they attempt
to prevent other and perhaps more needy men
from working at reduced rates, and when they
try to stop the currents of trade or travel, they
are interfering with the rights Of others. This
interference becomes a serious matter when
such deviltry is resorted to as placing obstruc-
tions on railroad tracks, misplacing switches,
and putting soap In the water tanks, (sse our

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY l, 1873.

The House committee on claims, in deciding
favorably on the bill to compensate loyal ctl-
zens of the border States for their property taken
for public use during the war, maintain that the
relief granted by the bill is not of grace, but as
matter of constitutional obligation. "On the
point of excluding from the benefits of the bill
loyal citizens of the States which went into the
rebellion" the committee say that the bill Is
predicated upon constitutional obligation alone
Whatever obligations of different character
there may be on the part of the government to
indemnify the loyal men Of the South for prop
erty destroyed by military authority, their
claims rest upon grounds very widely separat-
ed from the imperative duty imposed by the
constitution in the case Of the loyal citizens oil
the States not declared in insurrection. For
this reason the committee will recommend to
the House that whatever relief is proper to be
extended to the loyal men of the South be done
by a separate bill.

CORRESPONDENCE Of the Alexandria Gazette;
LEEsBURG, Jan. 3l.-We are now enjoying
the balmy atmosphere of l6 degrees above zero.
On Tuesday (2sth) at midday the thermome'
ter marked AZ in the shade on the north side

ever, at ! ! p. N. the mercury had receded to
2O0 above, aud on Wednesday morning it was
down to t. above in the same locality. My
thermometer hangs about Is feet from the
ground; it did not rise aboye.260 during. the
day. At IL pm on the Goth it had receeded to
% above, aud on the morning OF the 3Oth 1t
had gone down to 50 below zero. At a. m,
lust around the corner thermometer 6 feet
from the ground reached l00 below, and 10 the
valley lust east of the bank it receded even to
15o below. At Waterford in close proximity
to Catoctn Greek, it receded to 230 below; at
Wheatland Mills, ON the north fork OF the ga
toctin. to 2Oo below; at Lovettsyile, on high
table land, somewhat under the shelter OF the
Short Hill, it marked l4o below and at Aide,
on the Little River turnpike, it was equally as
cold. This morning it stood at about zero at
am. This is very cold. Now for "reminiscences:
