ALEX ANDRIA.
THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 10.

MIR. AGNEw, as stated In the GAzETTE's
Washington correspondence of yesterday,
says that no competent and reputable wom-
an, holding little postofice In his district,
and conducting it efficiently and satisfactor.
liz to the people served with mail at that
office, shall be removed with his consent.
This sentiment does credit to Mr.. Agnew's
head as we'll as to his heart. aud shows,
what the GAZETTE has never for momept
questioned, that there ia some gooo among
the old and real republicans of Virginia, and
that what Mr.. John Wise, one OF the new 10
she said. "that southern republicans are
apostates for the price of their aposiacy,
though probably true in his own, Wise's,
case, and in that Of most, ifnot all, the other
men who have recently left the democratic
party in the State, ia not true In respect OF
at least some Virginia republicans who nave
ALWAYS been republicans. Mr.. Agnew also
ssys it seems strange to him that the men
making war on women 10 Virginia, and who
ara most clamorous for the removal OF com
petent and efficient female postmasters, are
not old republicans nor republican settlers
but their own people. ex Confederates. mer
who have only recently become republicans.
That this is so is not strange to others, for
when men have done, or attempted to DO,
their nsighbors Injury, it is human fraiity
that they should hate them thereafter, and
the men referred to tr'ei to ipjure all the
reople 10 the State by leaving their old party
in its hour of need and attempting to inau-
gurate negro supremacy, for no other reason
than the hope that if successful they might
get little Offices; which hope, In the vast
mpj,tity of Instances, has bean disappointed
an act of providential retributive justice

THE SUMNER KINDERGARTEN.
Closed To day After Brief But Success
full Term of Four Weeks.

ful Term OF fOur weeks
The summer kindergarten at public
school No 90 closed to-day, after brief
but very successful term. 1t was
started four weeks ago by the
ladies of the Associated Charities and New
Century Club and has been wonderful
success. The hours were from 10 to 2
each day, thus relieving man. parents and
guardians from care and vexation.
There were 1873 children in the school
this morning when reporter
called. Everyone was busy at some.
thing interesting and amusing. The idea
of the school is to teach children to use
their hands as well as their brains
Forty of the youngest some of whom
have hardly learned to talk, were in
charge of Miss Maggie e. Way. They
played in generous pile of sand, with
shovels and kettles, and romped to their
hearts content
The kindergarten proper, in charge of
Miss Lizzie Bringhurst, was preparing to
dismiss. Mrs. Elwood @. jackson played
the piano as the children marched around
the room. In Mrs. Frances Ea by's room
forty five boys were weaving colored slips
of paper and sewing designs. lii Miss
Hilless and Mrs c. r. Ways room 3s
girls with bright, happy faces
were working on designs and knitting
Before closing they sang under Miss
Hilless direction. In Mrs. Easily room
half a dozen boquets of How
ers attest to the feeling OF
all the children towards Mrs Easily
the principal Besides the bouquets Mrs,
Easily received a beautiful palm from
Miss Hilles's room.
At noon the boys marched into the
large room and went through the usual
exercises to the music played by Mrs.
Jackson They then were dismissed and
the girls had exercises in the room.
The work Of the children reflects great
credit on tkeir instructors, and shows the
first introduction Of the novel idea ha:
been a useful success.
