RAILROAD MATTERS. The Wash
ington and Mount Vernon Railroad
Company is said 10 be perplexed in the
matter of obtaining suitable ground for
the construction of landing and slip
for the operation of the ferry or transfer
steamer at the foot of Fourteenth street,
Washington. The ground where it is
sought to locate this slip is included, it
is understood, in the reclaimed flats,
aud is, consequently, the property of the
United States. Just what will be done
in the matter is not known, but it is
believed that the commissioners will
refuse the permit, which is now before
them, on the ground that they have no
jurisdiction over the land in question,
because it's title is in the United States.
There are some who believe the rail
road should not be permitted to cross
the Long Bridge unless upon separate
and distinctly removed track from that
used by the steam railroad. The bridge,
it is claimed, will have to be recon
structed in part by the addition of
wings should the electric railway use it.
President Phillips, of the Arlington
Railway, which runs from the south
side of the Aqueduct bridge to Airing
ton, is endeavoring to get the District
Commissioners to favor plan the COM
pany has in view of making connection
with the Washington and Georgetown
road by running their electric cars
across the bridge. 1t is thought that
his efforts will be successful.

AFTER THE MAGISTRATEs.-Iu the
County Court this morning Judge Chi
chester in his instructions to the grand
Jury referred to certain charges which
had been preferred against gi;traies
in the county. 1t will be remember, d
that some months ago it was alleged
that the State was receiving no money
in fines from the justices and that
there is gross miscarriage of justice
within their jurisdiction. The judge
IN his charge said the safety of the
community depended upon the integ-
rity of its judiciary, that these charges
had been made and should be examin-
ed into. He said allegations had been
made that most of the magistrates
showed inefficiency, that they had not
made monthly reports, as required by
law, and that should the charge of re-
tanning fines be substantiated it would
amount to ENLIGHTENMENT, and the peu-
aity would be confinement in the peni-
tent iary. Judge Chichester said he
had received letter charging malad
ministra ton Of justice, and he would
turn it over to the jury. They could
adjourn to their room and could con-
tinue their session from day to day I'M
til all the facts In the case could be ex-
amined into. The magistrates, be
said had been cited to appear and
bring their dockets and other books
with them.
