The petitioners call attention to the fact that in Jone, 1849, Congress purchased the Navy Yard bridge of the incorporated compan to whom it then belonged, and thereby made i the property of the United States; and ever since that purchase (a period of twenty-five years.) has and controled, and main- tained this bridge as its property, and made such use of it as suited it convenience and in- | this st: | highway. ‘The | the government a large amount of | keep it in repair— of Congress to build a new bridg: where it was lying, atid that they had sold | it at a jewelry store on 7th street for $1.50.

Piatt writes as follows concerning this affair: “The account given in the Svar this evening of the personal difficuity between the Hon. Mr. McKee and myself contains one or two errors which I wish to correct. I was not editor pro mar pec or otherwise of the Capitel. I am not and never have been connected with the paper, nor do I approve of its course. I was requested by my cousin, Colonel Donn Piatt, to read cer- tain proofs during his absence. and this [ did. When Mr. McKee called upon me I was tying back in my chair quite ill,as that gentleman | must bave observed—too ili, indeed te get up, which is my habit todo whena member of Con- RAEN OF stranger enters the library of which I ave charge. The conversation may have oc. | curred but the biow in the face and the swollen | lip are imaginary. There was a flourish of a | stick — enough to fell an ox, and this, with | the exhibition of the handle of a pistol, was | quite enough to 'eave me in doubt as to every- | thing except the vanishing back of the indig- nant gentleman. It was too sudden for an as- sault. and too demonstrative for an insuit. Had Mr. McKee asked me quigtly and kindly, I sbould have been pleased to give him any prop: oficial ipformation in my jon. ihave striven to do my duty as Librarian of the House, without mingling in any personal or political diferences. Finally, I desire to aay (for I dis- “ke to appear in public in this manner, or to drag any other man unnecessarily before the public) that if Mr. McKee is willing to let the | matter rest, I am sure [ am. Very respectfully, Joun J. Piarr. A SUGGESTION FoR THE Post Orrice.— Editor Siar’ I beg to suggest to the powers that be, in control of such matters, that it would be & great convenience to the public if they would place at the depot a mail box in which letters can be deposited up to within say five minutes of the departure of the mail train, especially the night mail. As is_now, there is no choice but to find the post office car, which generally stands off a sade track until the train is made up, and where it can only be reached by crossing hich trains are moving at frequent intervals, py Ler een oo rendering a fe very inconvenient, especially for ladies and children. : = By placing @ box at the door of the depot, bey bag snare ged ee be psmmered as they are dropped in, everybody could deposit | their letters without trouble, and then just the trai starts the proper person would only pp tony the box, e out the bag, and take * Then, too, persons could deposit letters in | time for the morning trains.
