Two days trial Of the new transfer system
on tho Washington & Georgetown railroad has
given rise to loud complaints from the patrons
of the road. There are two agents stationed
at the Seventh street junction, ono on each
side of Pennsylvania avenue, and a passenger
is likely to apply TO the wrong agent for his
transfer, as one gives out slips for the north
and east and the other for tho south and west.
Yesterday many people had to cross the Ave-
nuo twice through the rain before they were
set right 1t is growing impression that the
wealthy corporation, If influenced by desire
to accommodate tho public, would not have
established system which entails so much
inconvenience upon its patrons. The trifling
loss which, it is claimed, tho company sus'
tanned under the old system will not justify
theannoyance imposed upon passengers by this
so-called reform.

Supplemental Application for Mandamus

Messrs Walter II. Smith and James II.
Vaudeville, as counsel for Thomas Mcbride,
yesterday obtained permission of tho court in
banc to file supplemental petition for a man.
ddn'ils against the Secretary of the Interior.
The petitioner represents that on October 8,
1879, he demanded of Secretary Schurs to re-
store to him patent for certain land in Utah,
which he refused to do on October 10, aud six
hours later it was cancelled. On October IL,
about 10 o'clock, after filing the original Pc
tition for a mdnddmus, he first learned of the
cancellation. He charges that the orders
were given for the several cancellations to the
local land offices of Salt Lake City, under or
ders of Secretary Schurz, after the demand for
the patent, and before the respondent had re-
fused, therefore before he had any legal right to
commence proceedings in m1nddmus. He
charges that after service of the rule to show
cause why mandataus should not issue, q let
ter was sent TO the local officer by Acting Com
missioner Armstrong, directing the cancelling
of the patent. In consequence of this action
he claims 10 be deprived from showing title in
himself to the aforesaid lands. He now asks
that the Secretary OF tho Interior may be COM
manded by the court to restore the patent and
its record to the condition they were in before
the attempted cancellation of the same.
