The case Of Mrs. M. L. NJ. Pollard
against Jacob L. Lyon, for damages re-
sulting from an alleged violation of the
contract under which Mrs. Pollard had the
supermtendence of Che St. Cloud Hotel
during ls69r7O, was decided in the Circuit
| Court OF Washington city Yesterday, the
jury awarding Mrs. Pollard damages in the
sun OF 81 ,003.
1t is estimated at the Treasury Depart
ment, at Washington, that $225, ,000, 900
will be received from customs receipts COL
I cetable in gold during the fiscal year end :
ing June 80, 1872. a surplus of 800, !
600, 900 of this amount will be III the Trea-
suryaiter discharging the gold liabilities Of
the government, such as paying the in
lterest ON the national debt, &c. The
pertinent inquiry now comes up and has
its advocates as to the propriety of .reliev-
ing the Importers and approaching our cur
rency by allowing. them to pay sixty per
cent. OF their dntics in gold and forty per
cent. in currency, as the amount of gold
received at the. Treasury by this means
would be sufficient for all purposes.
THE LONG BRIDGE.-The work on The
Long Bridge has been continued without
imorinission during the cold weather, and
the frame work over the Virginia channel is
now nearly completed. Thc draw will be
finished by. the time the heavy iron work is
ready to be put in position. On the
Washington side the work is not SO far
advanced. Ihe wood work Of the trestle
portion of the old bridge has been. all
removed, the old piles and timbers sawed
of fifteen feet below the surface of tile
water, leaving the spaces between The. new
piers entirely open. Should there be q
treshet in the river.f such as is usual at this
season, the chances are that the Washing
ton, Alexandria and GEORGETOWN railroad
bridgewiil go down stream, the main sup
ports to it being entirely exposed to driit
wood and ice.--- Wash.i Qhfomicls.
