RIDDLEBERGER AGAIN.-Hon. II. II. Rid

RIDDLEBERGER AGAIN.-Hon. II. II. Rid
dleberger made an early call upon the Dis
trict commissioners yesterday morning to
complain of the manner in which the police
in attendance OF the circus exercised their
guardianship. There has been complaints
several times that the circuses coming to
Washington sold tickets 10 more persons
than they could accommodate at their ex-
hibitions, and on other occasions it has
been stated in reply that quantities of tick
cts had been sent in advance from Balti-
more, and that the overfows occurred in
that way. Monday night the circus closed
its ticket wagon when the tents were crowd
ed, but outside ticket sellers near the door
continued to dispose of tickets. Among
those who came late was Senator Riddle
berger, who brought with him circus
party of fifteen that he had invited. AS the
ticket Office had closed, he obtained fifteen
tickets from premium ticket seller, but
was not allowed to enter the circus with his
friends. He protested vito some vehe
mence against this proceeding, and demand
ed that the police arrest the men who were
getting money under false pretenses. He
was arrested by the police and immediate
ly released, but insisted on going to the STA
ton house with the officer, and after reach.
ing the station and explaining matters he
rejoined his friends. The District commits
sioners promised that the whole affair
should be investigated by Maj. Dye.

The Free Bridge.

Washington, d. c., May 12th

Washington, d. c., May 18th
To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
As the statement made by your Washing.
ton correspondent in reference to my posi-.
ton on the free bridge bill, which passed
the House of Representatives on Monday
last, is liable to misconstruction, beg to
submit brief explanation. was DESTROYS
to secure free bridge across the Potomac,
but at the same time endeavored to preserve
the interests of the Alexandria Canal Co.,
in the present aqueduct-objects not neces-
sarily in conflict. Finding that the temper
of the committee, and the House, was in
favor of fee simple title for the United
States to the bridge, clear of all complica-
ton with other interests or parties, yielded
to the necessities of the situation and gave
the measure my support. AS the bill stands
the canal company can protect itself by
withholding its assent to the construction
of tho aqueduct bridge, which will force
the site of the new bridge at the "Three
Sisters" If this be done all parties on the
Virginia side of the river will be accommo-
dated, the rights and property of the
canal company be preserved and a
free bridge above the aqueduct construct
ed. Very Respectfully,
JOHN 8. BARBOUR.

IT IS hoped that the gentleman interested
in the Alexandria canal who told the GA.
zETTE's Washington correspondent yester-
day that the canal company would never
agree to sell the piers of its aqueduct unless
upon terms that provide for the preserva.
ton and maintenance of that aqueduct, was
correctly Informed concerning the intentions
of that company. If the company shall &C.
cept the terms of the bill for a free bridge
across the Potomac rs it passed the Z. S.
House of Representatives, the aqueduct will
of course, be removed, and the Alexandria
canal thereby be utterly destroyed. The
canal, to be sure, has not been of much prof
it either to the company or to Alexandria
for several years, but its possibilities are by
no means extinct.

was "the man who directed the manTuvres
of the army, brought the Confederate BAN
ner to the dust, destroyed the lost cause,
and whipped the Southern States back into
allegiance to the Government, hut who was
willing that Southern representatives
might live and sit in Congress. and not

necks." Mr.. Hepburn, the republican, evil

THE LABOR troubles in Baltimore have
been tho means of starting movement for
the establishment of mechanical and other
industrial schools for the instruction and
training OF colored boys in that city. Thus
the strikers and boycotters not only create
demand for foreign skilled labor, but act.
ually increase the number of that kind of
native laborers by inducing the establish.
ment of such schools as those referred to.
But it seems that strikers and boycott
tiers are incapable of seeing beyond the
