THE WASHINGTON TURNPIKE The present
condition of the Washington and Alexandria
Turnpike. which renders that road almost im'
passable, is complained Of as we'll in Washing
ton as 10 this city. The Washington Chronicle
Of this morni e, Says:-'Tbe Long Bridge be-
ing the only free bridge across the Potomac 1t
is only right and proper that it should be kept
10 good repair. By 40 act Of Congress- ia,p
prove June 81, 1870, the Baltimore and 70
tomac Railroad Company were hor'77@d 10
take possession of the bridge for railroad pur
poses, provided they kept it 10 good c.nd'i 10
for railway and ordinary travel, and free Tor
the latter. The second section of the act em-
powers the Uoited States authorities to take
posse oi,the bridge if not kept in good re-
pair, free for ordinary travel, &c: For some
iiue past the causeway of the bridge (ln the
District of Columbia) has been In scarcely, a
passable condition, and pedestrians are unable
TO cross without having their clothes covered cover,
with mud from the passing vehicles. This
could be avoided by little draining aud gravel

The MILLS OF THE GODS GRIND SLOWLY
The famous Underwood McFeigh suit has at
last come to an end. 10 the Supreme Court OF
the Uuted States, yesterday, 10 the case or
Earasmus D. Force, Mrs. Maria Underwood
brother-in- law, plaintiff 10 error, vs.. WIN. n.
McVeigh; 10 error to the Cooperation Court OF
the city of Alexandria, State of Virginia, Mr..
Chief Justice Waite delivered the opinion OF
the Court dismlSSing the writ OF error IN this
cause, with costs. Dissenting, Mr.. Justice
Clifford.
The dispatch of the Associated Press, says ::
The case of the late Judge u, derwood against
McVcigh, from the Virginia Court of Appeals,
having been submitted to this Court on mo-
tiou to dismiss for want of jurisdiction, the mo-
1iou was to day granted aud the case dismissed,
because the writ OF error should have been di-
rectcd to the Court Of Appeals instead of the
Judge of the Corporation Court of Alexandria.
Mr. Justice Clifford dissentcd. The Court be-
low gave Judgment 10 favor of McVclgh on
verdict winch found that there was fraud 10 the
procurement Of the sale and continuation under
the proceedings in confirmation.
The Baltimore Gazette, 10 commenting upon
the decision, says;
'rhe case of Underwood VS.. McVeigh,
which was carried from the Virgioia Court OF
Appeals 10 the Uulled otates CupFeue Nout'
by the late, but not lamented, Judge Under
wood, has been dismissed for want Of juIisdic-
ton. The mcagre report of the telegram seems
to show that the case is not merely dismissed
for lack Of jurisdiction, put decided on its
merits adversely to Underwood, on the ground
of fraud The Virginia Court of Appeals, it
will be remembered, gave him scathng aud
witherug rebuke for his frauds. So the Judge
carried up the case to the Supreme Court, and
that august body seems to have gone out of it,
way TO rebuke him even 10 his grave Our only
regret is tuat Underwood did not live to hear
tn, opinion. After that he might have shut
fed off his highly Objectionable mortal coil as
quickly as be pleased.

CAPTURE OF AN OLD AND BOLD THIEF. j

CAPTURE OF AN OLD AND BOLD THIEF. In
Yesterdays Gazette, the arrest and commit
ment of Robert Jefferson. for stealing corn 10
Maryland, was mentioned. Constable j. Il.
Grsv, who has had the warrant for bis arrest
for some time past, hearing that Jefferson was
10 the vicinity of Woodbridge, proceeded there
by the morning train. He was there inform
ed that Jefferson was in Pohick Greek. at j lex
Point, in Which creek, accompanied by two
friends, he Immediately made his way Finding
there that the man they were after lived at
Crow Point, two miles farther up the creek,
the three started for that place, aud reaching
there found j ffurson 10 his skiH out 10 the
creek. C1ncealiug them selves among the bushes
they waited until he came ashore, and laid the
guns he had with him-a big quo and two
smaller ones on the beach. The officers TWO
friends then advanced upon him-he thinking
they were his frieuds and getting between
him and his gus seiz d the guns and told him
be was a prisouer Then beckouing to the
officer, the latter emerged from his conceal
ment, aud without trouble put baudcutfs upon
his prisoner, who said, Il am captured ut last. >
10 the house in which he liv.d-Babe Halls
which was about twenty steps from the plaza
where the arrest was made, were found a
double Darrell, d gun aud several mu,kets, all
loaded, ana 80 placed tnaC nau He Ueeu ai'o"ou
to 20 in for his clothing be could have made
desperate and probably successful resistance
He was brought here late in the night, 10
wagon, and lodged III Jail to await rrqusItlon
FROM the authorities Of Maryland. After his
arrest be said he ''had made up his miod never
10 be taken alive. but there was no use 10 cry
ing over split milk, and that now that he had
been caught it did not make much differences
what the law did with him. for he had cheated
it long tune, was now an old mau, aud IN all
probability would have gone up soon anyhow.
So far as is known he has never been engaged
in an extensive robbery, but hen houses pig
styes, corn houses and other exposed places
have been the sources from which he drew his
subsistence, aud to the owners OF such places
he has for the last thirty years beena terror, tor
not only would he rob them, but when detected,
would defy arrest and refuse restitution, aud
being always armed 70 the teeth, has general
" succeeded 10 etft.ting his escape. AS his
deeds are almost as we known i'll Maryland as
here, it is probable that b. the time he serves
out his Imprisonment 10 that State, Ii" will not
be 10 a condition to resume his suspended
career.
