Much complaint has been raised at the
condition of the road for vehicles on the
Long bridge, and of the road to Fort Runyon.
1t is understood that the railroad company
who built the line across the Long bridge to
Alexandria, Va, is required to keep the
bridge road in repair and from its track to
the center Of the pike road to Fort Runyon,
but during all this wet weather, it is learned,
nothing has been done, aud both roads are
full Of slush, in some places foot deep. 1t
would be we'll for somebody in authority to
make an examination and report the condi-
tion of the roads to congress, with their
views as to impending danger when the
weather becomes wcrHi. One Of the railroads
has thrown large number of tree trunks into
the pike, just over the Long bridge, occupy
ing both sides of the way, and horses and
vehicles have to wade through mud
pond of such depth that the road cannot
be seen. The case should be taken in hand
at once.

The Ronds Beyond the River.

A delegation consisting of messrs. Walker,
Wimsatt, and West, representing tho brick
manufacturers on the south side Of the
Long bridge called upon tho commits
sioners yesterday. They urged that
the causeway of tho Long bridge be
repaired, and also the approaches to
it. They stated that the roadways were
almost impossible, especially in wet weather.
The commissioners informed the delegation
that tho Baltimore and Potomac Railway
company were responsible for these road
ways, as one of the provisions of their right
of way was that they were to keep the roads
in good order. The company will be notified
of their condition, so that they can mako
the reDAirs.

The number of complaints the commission
ers are daily receiving about the bad con-
dition of tho city sewers attests the necessity
Of having better facilities, as provided for in
the new bill. The sewers erected under the
board of public works regime are found to be
too small to accommodate the citizens, and
the general result is overhowed cellars and
unhealthy houses. The city has grown
greatly since the sewers were put in, and
there are some localities that have no facili-
ties for draining tho surrounding property
The commissioners state that they have done
oil that they can out of the available funds
but, as stated, complaints are being daily re-
ceived. The commissioners yesterday re-
ceived several complaints from different
sections of the city about inadequate sewer
age.

Prof. De smedt, the district chemist has
been busy of late in testing tho quality of
butter sold by local merchants He yesterday
tested thirteen samples sent by the health

WHAT HAVE TIL E \ E
GROES DONE?

The New Orleans Exposition,
viii most undoubtedly be one of
the very best that has ever been
held in this country. Major
Burke, of the New Orleans Times
Democrat, in his address to the
Colored people at the Asbury
Church last Monday night, made
a most liberal offer to aid the col
ored people of this country, to
show what they have accom-
plished since their emancipation.
We advise the colored people to
embrace the opportunities that are
offered them in the way of science
and let politics alone The south
ern white people are about to re-
pent for the wrongs they have in
flicted upon the Negroes and are
now willing to do any thing to
promote industry among them.
Major Burke's offer to the colored
race is fifty thousand dollars to
aid them to show what they have
done. Rev. A. M. Green in
forms us that he would not eX-
change his position in the South
to day for any position in the
North. Let us therefore do all
We can 10 show 10 the world that
the colored race has accomplished
something since their freedom.
The question now is, will the South
surpass the North in their exhi-
bits at this great exposition.
