BRIDGE FROM WAsHINGToN.-The
Joint resolution, which was offered in
the Legislature yesterday by Senator
Mushbach and Delegate May and which
was adopted in the Senate, requesting
the Senators and Representatives in
Congress from this State to endeavor to
secure the passage of the bill now be-
fore that body for the construction of q
bridge from Washington across the Pc.
tomac river to the Arlington govern
ment reservation, and for the improve
ment of the unused portions of that es'
tate, sets forth in the preamble that the
United States owns over ], 100 acres OF
land in Alexandria county, upon which
it pays no taxes, known as the Airing
ton estate, on part of which is situat-
ed the National Cemetery and Fort
Myer, leaving about 500 acres of I'M
improved lands, making heavy waste
on the front and face of the county,
thereby impeding the progress and
prosperity of the same. The PEG
pie of the county believe that this large
tract of land in its present dilapidated
condition is detrimental to the advance
ment of the county's interest, and that
if bridge we're constructed from the
seat of the national government to this
estate, it would cause the identifying
and putting to some useful purpose this
unused portion of said land.

SENT TO THE CHAIN GANG.-Jerry
Dorsey, colored, who was so roughly
handled by three of his colored &C.
quaintances on Christmas Day in the
southwestern portion of the city, had
sufficiently improved to be able TO ap-
pear against his assailants this morning
in the Police Court. They have been
in Jail during the past ten days. The
evidence showed that Dorsey was
drunk while in saloon, and that the
proprietor, desiring to close the place,
ordered mis- customers out. Dorsey, it
seems, was 10th to go, when William
Saunders and Harry Gambrck under
took to eject him, but signally failed.
The trio finally went into the street
where Saunders and Gambrick kicked
aud cuffed Dorsey brutally. Later
Dorsey went into a house where he
found John Howard, colored. The
woman of the house grew tired OF Dor
sey's company and left, and Howard
in order to get the uuwelcome guest
cut, concluded 70 discharge 8 gun
(which he said was loaded with powder
only at him. The charge burned Dor
sey's breast aud neck seriously. The
police heard of the difficulty and ar.
rested the three men. The Mayor fined
the accused SO each, and having nc
money they were sent to the chain
gang for sixty days.
