Much complaint is made of the condition Of
the sidewalk on the esst side of Fsystte street.
between King and Cameron streets. The mud
from the vacant lots there is allowed to run
down over the pavement and makes the WALL.

is tho principal approach to the Washington

ers, are Inconvenience The roadwsys ap-
preaching the depot, both on Fayetse and Gam

. TRANSACTIONS IN CONFEDERATE MONEY
In the Supreme Court of the United States
yesterday. Bisse vs. Hayward. Appeal from
the Circuit Court for tho District of South
Carolina. In this case the Court holds that
where contract made payable 10 Confederate
money was not performed at the time fixed by
the contract, the amount 10 be paid at any
future time 10 lawful money of the United
States should be computed by comparing the
value of the Confederate currency with that of
United States currency at the dates fixed by
the contract. On the part of the payer, it was
insisted that the value of the Confederate
notes shold have been reduced to gold or ster-
ling exchange. This demand, the Court says,
cannot be sustained, because all contracts be-
tween individuals could then be discharged 10
the legal tender notes; and these notes, and not
gold or sterling exchange, were the standard of
value to which other ourrencies were to be
reduced to ascertain the value. Affirmed.

opportunity to have free bridge, which was
offered by the United States. The old Aexan.
Jria Canal Company was indebted to the United
States for $350.000 borrowed 10 1888 or 81, for
which that company was to give bonds guarau.
iced by tho city of Alexandra; and this pro.
vision, as far as known, was not fulfilled. "A
resolution was offered 10 Congress about the
year 1865 that il Georgetown would raise the
bridges over the canal high enough to admit OF
canal boats passing under them, and to con-
struct draw in tho aqueduct, the Government
would surrender the claim, and give the bridge
over to the city of Georgetown. The Common
Council. however, took no action IN the matter
until the property was leased by the present
owners, then the City Council spent about 81 900
of the corporation funds 10 trying to break the
lease, in which attempt they failed. it is well
known that the Aqueduot Company would vii

Vided the United States Government would
give them what they ask. Another fact the
president of the bridge company has endeaVor-
cd to get the Narrow Gauge Railroad to cross
over the aqueduct bridge. and tho mention Of
the W. & y. branch crossing over the same,
was done to show that the one tried to get the
ascendancy and right of way over the other.-
1t is known that MIR. DUNCAN is anxious for the
Narrow Gauge Railroad to cross over the bridge,
and that by so doing handsome sum would be
secured to the bridge company. ln reference
to this it may be said that Mr.. Harry McCoomb,
of Wilmington, Del, is one of the largest stock
holders of the bridge and the W. & .. L. r.,
and his consent, of course, is required. and it is
likely that he would favor the w. & 0. r. Z.
Mr. Stevens was seen lately visiting several
prominent points where the W. & y. branch is
expected to pass, ADD 10 conversation stated
that the object was to get hold OF the aqueduot
bridge for the purpose of bringing the w. Il
0. R. r. across it into Georgetown, add that
Congress would be asked to appoint Inspectors.
of which he expected to be one. to make ex
animation AID ascertain if the bridge was so
cure enough for trains to pass over. He spoke
OF the first failure of the Philadelphia party to
purchase the Washington & Ohio Railroad
some time ago, and also mentioned recent at,
tempt to again purchase it. The people OF
Georgetown want to know if any railroad pro.
poses to enter their town, and more especially
if they are to have new free bridge. Ii SO,

Of Messrs. Quigley, DUNCAN and Gov. " ellis,

PRECAUTIONS AT Nit. VERNoN.-The Wash
npton correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
says that "as matter of precautioD the tomb
Mt Mt. Vernon, containing the remains OF
Washington. has been connected with the man 10,
sion by an electric burglar alarm, which Will
give notice if any attempt is made to enter the
tomb during the night. The regents do not
expect that any such crime would be COM
mitted, but the precauton to prevent Its being
carried out successfully would be frustrated oy
these means The most prominent cause for
this electric alarm is because OF the attempt
made sometime ago by burglars to steal the re-
mains of Lincoln from the tomb at Sprlngheld
Ill. If successful the burglars intended to hosd
the remaios until large ransom was paid Tor
their return and the pardon of several OF their
comrades who were at the time serving terms
in various penitentiaries. A series of wires
have been laid about the tomb under ground
so arranged that if any one approaches the
tomb notice is given Immediately by large
gong 10 the mansion, where always from three
to four men are on duty.
