A bill ot complaint on bebaltot the United States against tbo railroad company wos filed on yesterday by District Attorney vtoithlngton, which sets forth tho Incorporation ot tbo defendant by tho statoot Maryland and tho authority granted to It by Congress to extend a lateral branch Into the District ot Columbia and the city ot Washington, and nsserls that while tho company hi-d authority to enter tho city "at somo point on the northern shore of tho Eastern branch ot tbe Potomac river between south and stutb streets," that said coiipany has In pclnt of fact entered tho city at a point on tbo eastern branch considerably eastward of tho point of entrance author Izcd by Congress, and crosses with Its lines of track the public ground at thu foot ot Pennsylvania avenue; tbat under the authority ot tbo act of Congress of Feb 23, 1SS7, tho Secretary of War entered Into contract with the (Iroton Bridge and Manufacturing Company for the construction ot a bridge over lho Eastern branch, at the foot of said avenue, and that although the defendant was occupying wltbout lawful oulboilty a portion of tho public ground at said locality, jet. In order that its operations might not bo hindered or Impeded by the construction of tbe western approach to said bridge, provision was made for au abutment and pier, and between them a span i7 feet In length, at an elevation ot IS fcit above the railroad tracks, for roadway, which abutment, span, and pier aro to be located entirely on tho public ground aforesaid. Tbat tbe railroad company has Interfered wlth'tho workmen of tho brldgo company engaged In digging foundations for said abutment, and compelled a cessation of said work by force and Intimidation. Tbat ibo brldgo company was engaged In making said excavation by tbo license and permission of tho United States, and tbat said United States may bo rendered liable to said brldgo company tor tbo damages which It may suffer by reason ot tho trespasses ot tho defendant.

Tho bill prays for an Injunction to to-strain tbo defendant from Interfering with or In any manner molesting those engaged under tbo contract In making c-ccavatlons or performing other work ou said bridge, tie. With tho bill aro filed aflldavlts of F'rank Conger, tbe manager and agent of tbe bridge company, and ot John B. Dun-klce, an assistant to Col. ltalns.

Deponent avers that tho officers and agents of the railroad company kept themselves fully advised as to tho progress ot tbo preparation of tho specifications and plan for said brldgo, and tbat they obtained and bad a copy of said specifications beforo the award of tho contract for said bridge, and must have been fully Informed as to tho situation of the western abutment with reference to tbe railroad tracks, and made no claim, do-mam, or objection adverse to tho rights ot tbe United States until the contract had been awarded, and tbo work commenced.

On Monday last Simon C.

Burnett, col ore 0, Juror In tho Whltal.cr case, bad a private Interview with Judge Montgomery lor tbe purposo of telllngallho knew about an attempt that had been mado to "fix" him. Ills story was that on Saturday last Nathan Addison, colored, nnd a messenger In the office of Commodoro Harmony, act-Irg Secretary of tbe Nay, had called at bis lather shop, which Is at 3007 it street northwest, and wanted to speak to him; that ho (Burnett) was busy, and that Addison said he would como again on Sunday, as be wanted to sco him pirtlcularly.

Addison said that WhllaKcr was a friend ot bis and had done him faorsln the pjst aud he ontcd to have hltn acquitted. Additional llgnlflcanco Is given tbe nlTetr by tho fact that both nccucr and accused aro Oil Fellows, nr.d Burnett alleges tint It was In his fraternal character that Addison approached hltn.

As soon as Judgo Montgomery beard tho story ho called tho District attorney's attention to It and on proper information Defective Carter swore out a warrant chargl ig Addison with "attempting to Induce an! pcrsuado tbo said Simon Burnett to voto and decide said Issue In favor ot tbe sal I Arcnvllle Wbltaker."

I never said a word about money, nor did I Intimate that he would In recompensed In any way; I asked him as a and when ho goes on the wltnos stand In tbo morning he'll bear out all I havo said." Addison seemed to bo moro worried about his two little children, sleeping alone, at home, than about himself.

Messages wero sent by him to a couplo ot Influential friends, but up to 2 o'clock tbls morning bo had not been released on ball, as he Loped to be.
