r. R. BRIDGE.--The Washington Star says:
I'VE feel compelled as public duty to call
attention to the rotten and unsafe condition OF
the Washington and Alexandria railroad bridge
across the Potomac Some of the sections are
careened, and an inspection shows sufficient cv-
licences OF the rckety and decayed nature OF
the structure to indicate the danger to human
lite by the passage OF railway trains. Those
familiar with its condition seem to think it Il
marvel that DO serio1ls accident has thus far oc-
Cured there.
