FREE BRIDGE PROBLEM.
TO The Editor.

The free bridge problem appearing TO grow
more difficult of solution as time progresses
| have concluded to appeal, through your
valuable columns, to the chairman of the
district committee in the hope that his
senatorial aspirations may induce him to
attend to tho cry Of his constituents. For
twelve years we have groaned under
legalized robbery, and though we have
pleaded, implorcd. and petitioned congress
for redress, yet nothing, absolutely nothing,
has been done to remedy or mitigate the
evil. Now we have q man of wealth and
influence to represent our rights, man who
could relieve us Of this burden in sixty days
If he SO willed it, 10 him we turn for as
sistance, and to him we offer the reward of
success. The first session of the forty eighth
congress is drawing to close, and without O
mighty effort on the part of our representa-
tivos from Virginia the bridge bill will once
again be laid over. On Jan. 80 last petit
ton for reduction of tolls on the bridge was
presented to the chairman of the district
committee, and the leading petitioners were
assured that prompt action would be taken,
but to-day that petition lies buried in the
district subcommittee on streets and alleys
perhaps forever. Granting that this petition,
like its predecessors, is a failure, what shall
be the next steps?
Is article first, amendments to theConstitu-
tion, dead letter, or have the people a right
to petition congress for redress of grievances?
The above mentioned petition, although adj
dressed to congress, has been promptly ST.
fenced by a process of commitment which
virtually destroys its efficacy and condemns
much labor and an honest cause to the waste
basket. The injustice of this requires no
comment. 1t is self -apparent. But where
shall we turn next? Thecourts are evidently
powerless. Although the present bridge
company hold forth under fraudulent
lease, yet the subsequent charter from con-
gress ratifes the fraud, and places it beyond
judicial investigation. This at least is the
opinion Of the company, and being composed
of honorable men il Is probably true.
Solicitor Rayner, of the treasury depart
ment, assured the writer just before his
death that upon the recovery Of certain stock
from the state of Virginia the United States
government would investigate the fraudulent
transaction of tho bridge company al initio.
That stock has boon recoved by and through
n member of the bridge company, and to-day
demands an investigation, yet nothing is be-
ing done for the interests Of either govern
ment or people. Can any coalition of inter-
est, involving the honor or official purity of
some person he suspected, or Is this but an
other instance of official inactivity? Hoping
this may reach the eye of some one capable
of answering its questions satisfactorily and
that the present inactivity may be dispelled
by the heroic determination of our represen-
tative from the eighth district of Virginia,
we await the issue. LOUIS L. PHILLIPS.

Reciprocity EaeiIItIes.

Mr.. Nimmo, chief of the bureau of statistics,
yesterday submitted to the secretary Of the
treasury a special report on tho United States
and Canadian transit trade and the recipro-
city of transportation facilities between the
United States aud Canada, with special refer
enco to the relations which will be sustained
by the Canadian Pacific railway to the COM
mercal and transportation interests of the
United States. lie says it would, perha ps,
DO difficult to imagine more nearly perfect
reciprocity Of transportation facilities be-
tween two contiguous countries than exists
between the United States and Canada. In
regard to the Canadian Pacific railway, Mr..
Nimmo says it will introduce elements OF
competition, both Of transportation and Of
trade, tho effect of which will bo to regulate
rail rates, and BIO mutually beneficial 10 the
commercial and industrial interests of tho
two countries, The report is accompanied by
map showing all the transcontinental rail
roads now completed.
